political correspondent repeat it. there are reports that chancellor merkel knew about the difficulties that the agency is facing quite some time ago one would imagine then that this could put pressure on her and her migration policies will it do you think absolutely because the rock migration policy and the refugee policy closely linked to a person very the refugee policy over until america has been under close scrutiny now for several weeks now as we've seen the house being a scandal at the federal migration office already and if we now have a look who has made these allegations the it is troubleshooter vies it's not just some of the official of the migration or has it is the show's mound of uncle americal herself himself under michael chose fungurume buys it to cope with the problems in the migration office and when he is now saying this office was in such a state i haven't seen before and it was totally unfit to tackle the tasca it

was made full and i told you several times and you didn't do anything this puts close brush up not only and i'm glad michael but also on the former interior minister thomas dementia and the corruption scandal at the office that in but i mean can you explain this for all international view is absolutely the. the office for migration and refugees plate into several branches which are all of the branches of the german state. there's there's a branch of bremen there's about want to believe in there's one in bavaria too and this specific braman branch must have waved through more or less more than one thousand saddam c. because giving that granting them asylum although there was no legal ground for this and there's even talk that some of them bribed their way through to their. replication this of course is a huge scandal could solve we've already seen very inquiry last. where the acting

interior minister a whole see whole thing has already said we have to closely look at everything and he already started pointing the finger at his predecessor thomas de musea so there was already some motion towards the government to towards putting pressure on the america so this scandal is adding up now it is a huge scandal have we heard from the government how are they responding to all of this was i just said the house being ready of parliamentary inquiry last week and this will be going on the acting interior minister holsey off who is not in himself responsible for the scandal as he just got into office this year he already said we have to look closely at this he already started pointing the finger at his predecessor and there the opposition is already calling for a parliamentary inquiry commission which they want to bring in during the next weeks it's not quite sure yet if this is going to come but especially the far right opposition the a of d.

party they have always wanted to make some sort of a troop withdrawal of the americans refugee policy so if this committee would come then we would not only talk about the scandal at the migration office we would talk about the refugee crisis as a whole and this is something i'm glad michael doesn't want our political correspondent made about thank you you know what though. well staying in germany and president. asked gay people for forgiveness for decades of suffering and injustice in germany in the nazi era and off to world to he spoke at a ceremony marking the persecution of gay people and out of hitler but he also condemned anti-gay knows that remained in place in post-war germany and led to thousands of persecutions. well there the students who raised their voices off to a mass shooting killed seventeen people at their florida high school in february

now as the scene is marjory stoneman douglas high school is set to graduate they are looking ahead to their future is while mourning those who can't do the same and the nationwide movement that that they survive is inspired district to gun control in the united states but it shows no signs of slowing down thousands rallied across the country on saturday which was national gun awareness day our correspondent alexander fun and naaman reports from that march in new york. poor among contreras this march is a personal issue together with his friends and other extremist the ninety year old student organized this event managed to address school shootings but also gun violence in communities of color. supports me because last year i lost to friends or gun violence and i felt you know . when i was in a moment i felt like some people are really needed to be a power be when you hear about this. country and us became active in the wake of

the school shooting in parkland florida earlier this year since then more and more students in the u.s. have begun to raise their voices for gun control students like jordan in twenty twelve she survived the shooting at sandy hook elementary school in newtown connecticut. eyewitness but not just one singular person but for the entire community in the nation and if there's any chance that what we're doing like protesting in march it will save one kid i'll do it. they believe now it's the time to ban assault weapons to strengthen background checks for gun buy a house but enough is enough if their slogan orange is the color. so far you as lawmakers refused to take meaningful action though the federal level but activists like ramon contreras say this is just the beginning of. this students who go to continue their protests and to make their fight for gun control

a voting issue hoping that the midterm elections in november will show that their movement has staying power. and now some of the other stories making news around the world police in mali have used tear gas to break up a band opposition rally in the country's capital to hospital as a result of the violence. time fishel say a whale that died had eight kilograms of plastic trash most of it shopping bags in its stomach the animal died despite a five day effort to save it they said the plastic made the whale sick and unable to hunt. thousands of jordanians have joined another day of protests against new austerity measures including price hikes and plant tax increases riot police scuffle with demonstrators outside the prime minister's office as people demanded his resignation the government has refused to scrap the reform bill backed by the international monetary fund.

omar corrigan from v.w. sports is with me to talk football now because this is a big weekend for those teams playing in the upcoming world cup and of course that includes the defending world champions germany mark tell us more oh yes germany with a nice easy on the face of a friendly warm up against little austria. everyone in germany expected them to win but not quite pundit. cuts in money will neuer was made to wait to get back in the german goal bad weather delayed kickoff nearly two hours late start did nothing to dull germany's alertness ms it was ill posed on a mistake from austria as keeper to pick the world champs up one nil i later in the first half it was neuer who was put to the test his own casual ball came back out to him. then flowing in college peppered his goal but the by and

player was up to the task which we could be happy with his comeback after such a long absence of. after the break germany's play begun to draw i'm alone corner kick found its way to martin to a guy who applied an emphatic volleyed finish alone at the far post neuer didn't have a chance it would get worse for the visitors. to make it two one for austria the team for him beating germany on any occasion is a thrill i've written so this. i rarely experienced such a self-inflicted defeat with a style of play like that. that was really bad. saw. i know has decisions to make not least regarding manuel neuer i. a self inflicted to defeat that's what a yankee left said regarding that he won also didn't seem very happy he's not what went wrong it was a perfect storm really for australia actually there was this rain and hail delay as

we saw there delayed the game for two hours that's really unpleasant for the visiting team to be sat in the bowels of the stadium with the big very partisan home crowd over stay with it for them to come i think the second thing was that it was quite an experimental line up the jam they were playing the race of need. to go they started with heels hits us not fun things you'll even get on the plane to russia so that played into austria and thirdly australia were a very motivated opponent desperate for the first win over germany since the. the sixth and i go to all credit to them money i know i was in the spotlight as well first time back in goal since that injury last autumn i mean how did he fair aside from the two goals he let in he couldn't really going to the goals and he was germany's best player i mean he's really an incredible guy to have all of germany was really watching the game for him last night looking at the left through was he going to come through and he came through with flying colors. bearing in mind he hasn't played since september clip for club or country and he's only had one warm

up game against germany on the twenty say that it was really a special performance by a machine from our country to being from barcelona is not proof wrong this season but it looks like neuer will be number one for for the going to russia so flying colors fennoy out what about the rest of the team anybody whose performance is going to be putting love in a bit of a quandary as he gets his final team together no way in a world that we saw we saw the clip there he was not the man and if anything i think that defeat will of confirms him that maybe the squad isn't as deep as as he thought it was when germany won the confederations cup last last year. they were basically saying that they have two two good teams they have two potential teams that could win the world cup but it doesn't look as if the squads that deep know they need the likes of twenty calls to come back to the board saying and they'll be in the starting line up for the for statement game against mexico very briefly this put founds off a little bit for germany saying hey you know we've got the wall coming up world cup coming up what's going on are they going to put out the back do you think still

they always do don't they i mean we've seen it before even in the tournament itself they've start you know they've started poorly sometimes started through the group stage but they have the staying power is very indefinable quality but they always seem to pull out from somewhere and i would expect them to be in the latter stages again helen a foreign car again i'll take your word for it we'll wait and see thank you very much indeed. well germany's top men's tennis player and the number two seed the. french open has done it again and examined as a vet if today claimed his third straight comeback win and that means he's into his first ever grand slam quarterfinals now that if go pasta rushes. off in five sets elsewhere seventh seed of dominic team of austria is leading japan's initial cordie in the fourth set the winner will plays vet if choose to. and just remind him at the top stories we're following for you. i'm going to merkel is

facing a fresh allegation she knew about problems at the german refugee agency and did nothing its former head says he warned her last year that stuff was struggling to process asylum claims. thousands of people have taken to the streets in u.s. cities to protest gun violence and call for stricter gun rules this comes as students who survived enough shooting at a florida school prepare to graduate. their watching d.w. news live from berlin will have plenty more coming up at the top of the hour i'm helena humphrey thanks for your company and look forward to seeing you again soon.
