7:06 pm
been facing a political crisis for the past week now as the interior minister threatened to bring down the government he says he'll give the chancellor two weeks to find an e.u. deal that will reduce migration into germany before deciding his next steps merkel is planning to use an upcoming summit to negotiate an agreement. to do we are all the opinion the c.d.u. and c.s.u. have to joint goal to better direct migration into our country and reduce the number of people arriving in the country so that we do now. and had a situation like we had in two thousand and fifteen. well our white house correspondent kimberly just standing by in washington first though let's speak to dominic kay who is in lead and dominate she appears to have avoided and immediate crisis but i'm going to michael hasn't resolved it so what happens next. well the thing there is that as you say there's an immediate cessation as it were like a cease fire between the two historic allies the c.s.u.
7:07 pm
and the cd over this issue of immigration what this disease has got today is the sense that anyone who presents themselves at the german border now claiming asylum but who has a sort of travel ban against their name or they can be turned back pretty much straight away but he hasn't got what he's really hoping to get is that sense that anyone who's by and by the dublin three regulations in other words someone who came to come to me comes to germany claiming asylum but he's already done so in another e.u. country he wants them turned back at the border he hasn't got that he's hoping they'll be some sort of solution that might emerge from the e.u. summit coming up in brussels in a few weeks time which will bring him about what i'm going to merkel has right now is as i say this ceasefire this idea that there is a civil war going on in her government right now and of course should be meeting the italian prime minister in the chancery behind me in the next hour or so they're also key players in this e.u. wide solution that she's seeking. president trump has felt the need to speak out
7:08 pm
about political developments in germany what's been the reaction that. the first thing to say is that his remarks only came a few hours ago and of course mrs merkel has a great deal on her hands today as i say she's meeting the italian prime minister in the next hour or so so no real reaction from her government but in terms of popular reaction on twitter in germany many people have responded to the president's tweets reporting what they say are figures of crime in germany showing that it's at its lowest rate for twenty five years and they point to what they say are opinion polls taken very recently indeed that show that angular merkel is still the most popular politician in germany amongst the governing ranks as it were so as i say no reaction from the government but lots of reaction from people in germany on twitter. all right thanks very much from berlin dominic kane well facing his own immigration crisis u.s. president donald trump is to say people of germany attending against their
7:09 pm
leadership as migration is rocking the already tenuous but lynn coalition crime in germany is way up big mistake made all over a year in allowing millions of people millions of people and you are so strongly and violently changed that culture he then added we don't want what is happening with immigration in europe to happen with us let's get more from can really get to use in washington. trump is also facing some pressure over this issue isn't he can really. that's right there is growing outrage here in the united states over images of children separated from their families on the southern border of the united states with mexico in fact that tweet you mentioned is one of the half dozen that the president sent out in just a couple of hours early this morning here in washington defending that practice saying that he believes that it is the democrats' fault that that law exists even
7:10 pm
though it's his administration that currently isn't forcing it but the truth is that there is growing outrage not just among democrats about this practice but also from members of the president's own republican party it's a policy that's been in place for more than a decade but it has always been considered the nuclear option to keep children separate from their parents while their parents who have been accused of entering the united states illegally await their court appearances what we have in the last couple of hours are members of the trumpet ministration defending the practice particularly the homeland security kiersten nielson secretary she's in fact saying that if you don't like this then change the laws and that is essentially where things are right now what this is shaping up to be is it an election issue in november for control of the u.s. congress but the campaigning has already started this is once again the political football between the democrats republicans pointing their fingers about who's to blame for a situation that really has been spiraling downward getting worse with regard to
7:11 pm
immigration for almost two decades important republicans are also critical of the policy of separating migrant families on the border but will trump continue to dig his heels in. i think so certainly this is how donald trump operates he goes there if you will he says what shouldn't be said he forces the issue there are some in the united states that are optimistic that by pushing this further than it's ever gone before by using the nuclear option of separating children from their families that it might get the congress which many of accused of abdicating all responsibility for putting in place a law to resolve the immigration problem in the united states that they could finally do that so it doesn't sound like the president is backing down if anything he's doubling down thank you very much in washington now turkish forces of and to the outskirts of the syrian city of man beach as part of an
