tariffs on other things including yogurt coffee and washing machines. we've taken a targeted. considered approach to retaliation our goal is to convince united states to move back from these tariffs which we don't think are going to help either of our economies which are going to actually hurt citizens in the united states citizens in canada. it was fairly clear that all of the nations at the meeting were moving to the beat of the same drone. ties been tense and tough g seven. and i would say to has been far more just six percent one than just seven one but the embattled u.s. treasury secretary have had undeterred by the other nations complaints all the threats of brutality ory tariffs this is again our objective is to make sure we have fair and balanced trade and that's really what we're focused on so i look

faces an internal review after officials at is brave and branch were accused of accepting bribes to way through more than a thousand asylum up to cations. well i'm joined in the studio now by d.w. political correspondent repeated 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 will it do you think absolutely because of the rough migration policy and the refugee policy closely linked to anglo american as a person the refugee policy of uncle americal 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 chosen man of uncle americal himself himself on the american shows fungurume buys it to cope with the

problems in the migration office when he's now in saying this office was in such a state i haven't seen before and it wasn't totally unfit to tackle the task it was made full and i told you several times and you didn't do anything this puts close parsha not only an anglo 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 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 waived 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 itself 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 dementia 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 that has been already of parliamentary inquiry last week and this will be going on the acting interior minister holds the ofa 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 would 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 trip and all of america's refugee policies 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. saying in germany president hunger in my has oscar to gay people for forgiveness for decades of suffering and injustice in germany in the nazi era and off to world war two he spoke at a ceremony marking the persecution of gay people under hitler but he also condemned anti-gay too was that remained in place in post-war germany and led to thousands of prosecutions. and now some of the other stories making news around the world
