Stephen Sackur speaks with German Defence minister Ursula von der Leyen. Does the West have a coherent strategy in Syria and does the EU have a security strategy at all?

Stephen Sackur speaks with German Defence minister Ursula von der Leyen. Vladimir Putin has wrong-footed the West, again.

The Obama Administration, NATO, and the EU have issued warnings and condemnations, but does the West have a coherent strategy in Syria. And does the EU have a security strategy at all?
