billions but just how murky coffee is the sports world in reality. starting june sixth t w. this is d w news lawyer from but it fresh allegations that angela merkel knew about problems at the german refugee agency the german chancellor is under fire after she's accused of failing to react to reports that the agency was struggling to process asylum claims also coming up. as survivors of the parkland school shooting prophetic graduate thousands take to the streets in u.s.

cities to protest gun law and uncalled for stricter gun laws we report from new york. to be truthful sure henry lives germany team sometimes they surprise lost in austria and a pretty wild confrontation. i had on free thanks for your company the former head of germany's refugee agency has pointed the finger at chancellor angela merkel you're going by is this is he warned last year about major problems on the strange stuff we're under to handle asylum cases and made involve skiing creased migrant numbers they said that the chancellor and the former interior minister failed to take action this comes as the federal office for migration of refugees faces an internal review after officials at its

claim and branch were accused of accepting bribes to waive more than one thousand asylum applications. i'm joined in the studio now by d.w. political correspondent report but 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 with it do you think absolutely because of the rough migration policy and the refugee policy closely linked to anglo american as a person or 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 fungurume buys is not just some of the official of the migration or has it is the show's mound of uncle americal himself himself under medical shows fungurume buys it to cope with

the problems in the migration office when he's now saying this office was in such a state i haven't seen before and it was totally unfit to tackle the topic it was made for and i told you several times and you didn't do anything this puts close brush up not only an on line michael but also on the former interior minister thomas dementia and the corruption scandal at the office than him but i mean can you explain this for all international you is absolutely the. the office for migration and refugees split into several branches which are all of the branches of the german state. there's a 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 side of. replication this of course is

a huge scandal at itself we've already seen very inquiry last. where the acting interior minister whole see the whole thing has already said we have to closely look at everything and you 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 anglo-american so this scandal is adding up now it is a huge scandal have we heard from the government how they responded to all of this was it was said there has been already parliamentary inquiry last week and this will be going on the acting interior minister holds the whole for who is not in himself responsible for this gun law as he just got into office this year he already said we have to look closely at this you already started pointing the finger as producers and they're the opposition is already calling for a parliamentary inquiry commission which is able to bring in during the next weeks

it's still quite sure that 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 our new america's 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 now exactly one year ago today eight people were killed and forty eight small injured when three terrorists drove a van into could destroy on a london bridge they then attacked all the people at a markets and up pops you'll seeing live pictures now from the memorial service as cathedral for the victims and their families organizers aim to send a message of defiance to the terrorists now later on
