germany is also affects us or that is why i am prepared to us as the foreign minister to assume responsibility for this event and what i can tell the stage up to that diplomacy is the only way forward with filmy on also on the program. in mexico city rescue workers say they have found another child alive in the ruins of a school that collapsed during tuesday's earthquake the school's one of dozens of buildings leveled what's being called mexico's worst quake for a generation. i'm phil gale welcome to the program. in an exclusive interview with the w. germany's chancellor has spoken out on the north korea crisis just days ahead of the country's general election and going to merkel said she disagrees with donald
7:02 pm
trump's military ultimatum to north korea and offer germany's assistance in negotiating a diplomatic solution yesterday mr trump told the united nations that america would destroy north korea if it continued to threaten the united states or its allies. until america was in fighting form in an exclusive interview with g w the german chancellor attacked u.s. president donald trump for his recent threat against north korea in which he vowed to destroy the country if necessary. we consider any type of military solution to be absolutely inappropriate and we're counting on diplomatic efforts this must be vigorously implemented in my opinion sanctions and enforcing these sanctions are the right answer but anything else with regard to north korea i think is wrong and that's why we clearly disagree with the u.s. president. four days before the elections until america can feel confident
7:03 pm
that she'll be reelected as chancellor but the far right party will likely win seats in parliament for the first time merkel ruled out ever cooperating with the f.d.a. and she promised to take the concerns of those who feel disadvantaged seriously. my answer is clear to solve people's problems the worries they have having their own jobs as well as decent schools and doctors to really take care of these issues but on the other hand to signal a clear stop to hatred and violence. merkel's critics often say that the rise of the right as a result of her policy on like grants more than one million migrants have a rifle since two thousand and fifteen and many of them find that life in germany is not as easy as they had hoped. nevertheless many see german bureaucracy as being very slow and would like to be able to enter the labor market much faster. but we cannot allow that either because we cannot allow destructive
7:04 pm
competition that perhaps germans who are seeking employment cannot find certain jobs with them. the interview with chancellor merkel was the last in a series of seven that included all top candidates of germany's major parties if recent surveys are correct on sunday younger americans conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. will become the strongest political power and she could become one of the longest serving chancellors in german history. well that interview was conducted by d.w. the editor in chief innes poland reporter and anchor. karim welcome both. let's start with out of it about as mediator in the north korea crisis this is under merkel putting her money her political capital where her mouth this is indeed i mean to really criticize donald trump's remarks yesterday at the u.n.
7:05 pm
when he said you know we really need to use as much smaller terry force as possible and she said no that is absolutely not the way i consider to be the right one i want to really stick to my diploma diplomatic skills and that's what she offered interestingly. she was socially she said he is wrong and i disagree with him which is not particularly diplomatic not what you we are used to seeing and hearing from now but she's i mean i think she's she's done with donald trump at this point i mean it was not i think you just saw it was really she was a seal clear yeah it was really like her energy was there if you just say for she said no i do disagree this is not the right away i'm not talking about destroying the country right it was very clear the way she said it like she disagrees with him and she she says we should talk we should discuss she wants to be the mediator in this conflict and she wants to be an active mediator in this conflict that was it was so clear even starting at the beginning of the interview to addressing this point where you see one point is totally disagree in what he's saying the other
7:06 pm
point is agreeing there when they should talk but in order to do that she has to get reelected the chances are that she will leave islam. quite secure. does she does she seem confident very much so yes she knows that she will be the next chancellor i mean what can happen within the next four days not not so much but she does not know yet with whom she's going to build the coalition because in germany it's a different system but normally the coalition party is so she needs someone to bond with and this is totally over open who this will be even be the green party it will be. the f.t.p. this is a liberal so this is open and this will really make a big difference and even she tries here to be diplomatic or since she's very aware that she's going to be did an x. chancellor but she said like what's going to happen the next four days although the polls are saying in any surveys are saying that she's going to be the next chance we can see who is having a very high numbers nevertheless she still keeps on saying let's just wait until
7:07 pm
sunday which is again mrs merkel and maybe that's part of why people like you are she tries always to say humble and to me don't underestimate and stay like i'm very relaxed and let's wait and there's etc so whoever the coalition partner is won't be there yesterday the alternative there's very limited clear remark i'm not going to build i'm not going to work with the media and i would say if he and this is a huge challenge to germany it will be a member of the parliament the first time in history and it's actually possible that they will be the third largest party so the really the. opposite party leader and that really will change the discourse in germany so that is the big threat to america having the government is very aware that like according to numbers facts that twenty percent of who used to elect an american party the christian democratic union are electing today and we even asked her in the
7:08 pm
interview about that like what are you doing how will you try to win these people again and we heard it already what she said she's trying to keep on the way what she's doing her own. politics that she was doing till now and she wants to solve the problems that people have war going to the f.t. and take their problems serious that's actually what she said ok so she's not going to work with the f.t. but she is going to try and keep as many of the the former c.d.u. supporters who have gone their way as she can but she also addressed in this this interview major political achilles' heel and this is the migrant influx into germany since two thousand and fifteen in order to tell us more about what she had to say that she will stick with the big picture she says those people who need us they are allowed to come and we will help them but this is fairly new and this has something to do with the as the right wing party. she know shapes it a little bit different when it comes to those who are able or who are wanted to
7:09 pm
stay in germany and she said explicitly we only want those people to stay in germany who have a job whose skills we in germany do indeed pass and that is kind of a new twist isn't it yeah yeah ok it was clear the way she was telling her where you can see the whole interview well the one i'm just about to sell so it can be self-doubt. holo karim. so as you heard you cannot watch the full interview on d w tomorrow beginning at two thirty am u.t.c. you can catch it again at six thirty am or u.t.c. as well as later in the day naturally you'll find it on our website d.w. dot com and remember it's only four days until germany goes to the polls and we want you to join in the discussion. now the death toll in mexico's earthquake has reached more than two hundred the powerful magnitude seven point one event sent thousands of people running into the streets one witness recorded the collapse of this building in mexico city. and here shocked onlookers are run as
