How that can possible as in the rapport the first PF action is a command to climb with a turn command to the left ...
An explanation was that the right wing stalled, due to lack of speed, and then the PF tried to counter it by rolling to the left, but it is useless or will make the things worse.

Until you are using the manual wheel which is overriding it.

Recorded (and displayed) speed dropped (LHS and stand-by) due to ice, down to 60 kt (false) during one minute and come back to 215 (real), then 185 (real). They heard those stall warnings... no overspeed.
