1st death in europe from the coronavirus the chinese tourist dies in a French Hospital as the global death toll surpasses 1600. And in football were back in action in the bundesliga this time with a new coach Alexander Noor is stepping up to take the reins against tata born after your conclusions mens shock departure. Im michael ok thanks for joining me. In germany World Leaders are wrapping up the 3rd and final day of the Munich Security Conference support for nato and strategies for International Conflict zones are major topics but the conference has also seen leaders present opposing views on the cohesiveness of the western alliance. From the opening moments of this years conference the tensions between europe and the u. S. Were front and center. Saying stuff abandoned to our closest ally the United States of america under the Current Administration rejects the idea of an International Community and ops. Great again great again if necessary also at the expense of maybe. That was a preview of starkly different visions of the european u. S. Alliance depending on who you ask its either on life support or in good health. Im happy to report that the death of the Transatlantic Alliance is grossly over exaggerated french president Emmanuel Mccraw insisted that europe must become more independent of the u. S. Soil. Soon there will but if we have no freedom to act then we have no credibility in Foreign Policy and we cant be a junior partner to the United States of america. German foreign minister heiko tried to reconcile the 2 sides. We will have to do more for our security but i think it would be a mistake to pit europe against the us. Were in a Security Alliance together that works nato but it needs reform and were discussing that now while westerners argued over whether their influence is on the decline russias foreign minister Sergey Lavrov had a different concern. This is true before our eyes the system of agreements in the field of strategic stability and nonproliferation is being destroyed the threshold for using Nuclear Weapons is being lowered to regional crises are multiplying. Outside the venue thousands of protesters were a steady presence many of them environmental activists who said the conference downplays Climate Change as a security issue. Back inside the big speeches overshadowed multiple meetings on the sidelines all addressing major challenges that arent going away any time soon. One of those meetings taking place on the sidelines is focused on libya roughly a dozen Foreign Ministers and representatives of International Organizations are talking about ending the conflict there lets bring in chief Political Correspondent melinda crane in munich what can we expect from the libya meeting today. This is intended to be a follow up to the summit on libya that was held in berlin in january and that resulted in an agreement amongst various interested parties to this conflict of whom there are a great number because in addition to the warring parties a number of european countries. Russia turkey all have have various interests in this to in this conflict so that agreement at the berlin summit basically sought to prevent the warring parties from getting access to support and weapons because all of these different players have been feeding them both however there was no binding there were no binding measures agreed upon in berlin and now the question is how can this agreement really be given given teeth so to speak so the idea is to discuss among other things whether a European Naval mission in the mediterranean should be revived that was originally intended to prevent human smuggling in the mediterranean but would now essentially be looking for weapons shipments to libya and stopping them this is a very controversial matter it will surely take a lot of discussion but the Munich Security Conference the government of germany and the u. N. Have tried to bring together not only those who were present in berlin for the summit but even other interested parties as well to ensure that everybody is at a table talking about how to make this agreement on stopping the conflict stopping weapons flows to the conflict actually work in practice more and more voices represented resolving this conflict appears to be high on German Foreign ministry mostest agenda how central is germanys role in the talks. Thats true well in fact. Theres something being called the berlin process which is essentially germany cohosting these talks together with the United Nations as assent essentially a demonstration of germanys willingness and ability to serve as an on. Missed broker and it isnt the 1st time that germany has stepped into that kind of a role if you remember we have the minsk process trying to deal with the conflict in ukraine germany is trusted by a number of these different parties to the conflict in libya as well and all of this is part of the german governments push for germany to take a stronger role internationally not only in the area of defense and security which is very difficult for germany because of its history but also very much in the area of just diplomacy and Foreign Policy and libya of course is a southern neighbor to europe just across the mediterranean so its very much also part of a german and european neighborhood policy. Chief Political Correspondent linda crane thanks so much melinda.
