cup heartbreak for spain is portuguese superstar cristiana rinaldo schools ally chico lies is a secure a three year old draw it is the tournament first heavyweight clash with thrilling encounter a lot of the highlights for you and for all of the talking points later on in the show. a little. welcome my name is christopher spring a thanks for joining us germany faces a weekend of political tension and what's proving to be the biggest stress test so far for chancellor angela merkel's new government which took office just three months ago michael is facing a public challenge from her interior minister the whole for he's the leader of the very insists the party of michael's conservative christian democrats and he wants to turn back migrants at germany's border who've already. registered in another

e.u. country who have no documents michael is insisting on finding a common european approach so who for it is threatening to push ahead with his plan on monday using his or thorazine interior minister. for more on this let's bring in our chief political correspondent lyndal crane melinda this is one of merkel's key ministers hall see her for the interior minister threatening to go it alone on an absolutely major issue on migration help us understand first of all how dramatic the situation's become absolutely very dramatic it has the potential to bring down the government and even to be the end of chancellor merkel's time in office if he follows follows through with that ultimatum which basically would say that he would use his powers as interior minister beginning this coming week to essentially contravene merkel's wishes and the coalition agreement and act unilaterally to

reimpose border controls on some of germany's borders and then to turn away migrants and send them back to the first european countries where they were registered if he did that he would be deliberately flouting the chancellor's authority and it's hard to imagine she wouldn't be compelled to let him go to dismiss him theoretically she could warn him but that would be very problematic so if she were to let him go his but very and conservatives would then leave the coalition the coalition then would no longer have a majority in parliament theoretically they might be able to govern as a minority government just s.p.d. and chancellor merkel c.d.u. but that's also a rather unlikely scenario so in that case they would have to call new elections and chancellor merkel has made it clear this is her last term as chancellor she then would wind up stepping down so essentially we're looking at something with the potential to blow up. entire german government shortly after it took office

absolutely i mean it is really very dramatic indeed the question is why is who for doing this why is he doing it now what to driving him to do this what's driving him above all our politics and tactics namely his party is the bavarian sister party of the chancellor c.d.u. they have always disagreed with the c.d.u. on immigration since that open door policy of twenty fifteen but this is coming to a head because the various about to hold a very important regional election that is the heartland of say hope for c.s.u. and the c.s.u. wants to look very very tough on immigration at this particular moment in time in order to ward off gains in their heartland from the far right anti immigration a.f.d. party which as you know has been on the rise so that's why he's putting on this pressure right now and just briefly what's likely to be happening this weekend lots

of talk behind closed doors absolutely we're told that the former finance minister and current president of the parliament wolfgang schauble is trying to mediate to broker a compromise he has the respect of both sides he's also known to be fairly conservative on immigration issues they will be pushing hard for a compromise we've heard that the chancellor is not changing any of her travel plans for next week she's still going to be heading to jordan that would indicate that she is optimistic or at least trying to look that way nonetheless it's a tough situation and it's not clear that we will have a compromise on monday morning campbell to see what happens on monday morning melinda always good to talk to you linda crane the chief political correspondent. now migration was also top of the agenda when french president. met italy's new prime minister jens epic conte in paris on friday the two men calling for profound changes to the european union's asylum policies after their meeting the talks came after a diplomatic spat erupted earlier this week when parents have criticized italy's

refusal to let a migrant rescue ship talk at its ports. days ago they exchanged harsh words now it's handshakes and back rubs french president emmanuel and italian prime minister. finding common ground despite their differences one is a european cheerleader the other the head of a euro skeptic government but both agree that the current rules for processing asylum seekers in their country of a rival are not working. the concept of a state of first entry must be reviewed whoever sets foot in italy sets foot in europe. will be. enough that today the current system does not work at the moment. the solidarity system is designed with quotas did not deliver a satisfactory result we must find a mechanism so each state can bear responsibility for migrants on its territory but

also allow for solidarity so that the geographical situation does not result in an unsustainable political situation. the meeting was almost ended by a spat over the plight of migrants on board the rescue ship aquarius. spokesman accused easily of cynicism and irresponsibility for turning the ship away italy demanded an apology and threatened to call off the leaders meeting the migrants remain on board the aquarius bound for spain heading through rough seas there is farah conditions at the elite. contest says italy is working on a proposal to overhaul europe's asylum system he wants to see migrant processing centers established in africa something appears open to an attempt to keep is really close even as european countries are drifting apart. turning to yemen where at least two hundred eighty people have reportedly been killed and

many more injured after three days of fighting in the western city of dado government forces are fighting to retake the strategic port from the rebels and have now reached the city sample aid workers have warned the attack on the country's largest port could shut down a vital route for food and humanitarian aid into the country into a country rather already on the brink of famine the saudi backed offensive is the largest of the conflict in yemen so far. time now to look at some of the other stories making news around the world in nicaragua the government and civil society groups have reached a truce ending months of political unrest under the deal the country's president daniel ortega has not written to an international fire into the violence which is the one hundred seventy people dead since protests began back in april. china says it's imposing tariffs on u.s. goods worth fifty billion dollars including agricultural income products move comes

after the trumpet ministration announced levies of its own on chinese imports the tit for tat moves are increasing the prospect of a global trade war. and a major fire has torn through the glasgow school in scotland for the second time in four years five fighters have been working through the night after the blaze ravaged by mcintosh building on the country's most famous pieces of architecture the building had been due to reopen next year after a multi-million pound frustration. the first heavyweight clash of the well cup in russia last night two european giants facing each other portugal against spain soccer fans hoping for a fantastic match and that is exactly what they caught. just four minutes into the game and can still remember how did johnny convert that suspension for an early poll should delete a penalty he had procured. but spain has an footballing genius is to jiggle close

to all the wrong hands portuguese penalty area but still the score was lousy finish for the spanish equaliser shortly before half time it was a little knowledge of time again this superstar scoring portugal second courtesy of dougherty us all riffing blonde. and shortly after the break it was all square again spence diego costa was a brace of his own and only minutes later spain took the lead for the first time i'm not sure said nanda us and this. but after eighty eight minutes up step just general now it will be back this equaliser christiane will not go three space three. ok let's get more a day of drama with me in the studio emily how should the sports in moscow well cut correspondent jonathan crane and i can tell you emily and i were just talking about

which is which is the most beautiful girl so far we couldn't decide emily portugal's us is spain water game was it a fair result. fair in terms of the better team winning i'm not so sure spain had twelve attempts to score portugal spain completed twice as many passes with better accuracy as well but a fair result would have to say yes because portugal had a good game and you just can't give kris jenner knowledge chances with a penalty and that late free kick if you want to get a win and of course there was that moment the first spanish goal costa seem to be pretty much plow right over the defend we had nine referees looking at video assistant referee system but they didn't call it. well it was the first time they used the world cup and it's quite funny because i was reading before the game that do a cost on paper where the two main characters that might cause the a are to be used for the first time and that's exactly what happened they're both known for their brutality as well as their simulation it's difficult to say i think if people had

a look at it with really close up cameras and say it was probably all right but of course it looked quite quite bad i personally thought it was fairly clear foul but that's what everybody is talking about let's some search over to moscow jonathan what are people talking about there. but i think this is why russia wanted to host the world cup it's why billions of people from around the world chuen in support that it's for moments of magic from the game's biggest stars and they don't come much bigger today than christiane i rinaldo the world footballer of the year now the russians we've been speaking to you here are just so excited to be able to get to watch these players play in their own country they've been mingling with fans from those players countries by using for photos with their flags i love them christiane the album because these are part of a rising figure isn't say there was assassin and never never its ability about that free kick everyone crowded around the screen where we were watching that day and when saying you can't deny his brilliance can you absolutely he. back to emily here

in berlin i mean rinaldo has not always scored against the big teams but three goals against spain you can't argue with that tell us also emily about yesterday's two matches you know there was quite a lot of late drummer in those matches as well. yet egypt faced or go without their superstar mohamed salah on his birthday he had to stay on the bench because he's still recovering from an injury picked up in the champions league final and see watched his teammates try to hold on to a goalless draw they really tried they defended beautifully as he did so well but a late goal a header from a humanist save the three points for why what about the other game and america iran was similar it was looking like a goal a straw for a long time and actually were playing better but ended up scoring and putting the ball into their own net and iran won the game in injury time as well. tragic for them a general question emily who is off which team is off to the best start at the moment that's really difficult to say after you know the first couple of games in terms of

results i'd say russia definitely when they're five zero when there's only three group games at the world cup so that's already huge for them or a guy got a really important win against the other group favorites egypt but in terms of form you've got to say portugal and spain they played fantastic football they showed why they're top contenders at this tournament ok back to moscow very briefly jonathan four matches coming up today. briefly if you can which is the one to watch. for i think arguably the one support she's argentina bass's iceland all eyes will be on the united messi that star player of course he's never won the world cup for argentina argentina always rely very heavily on him to deliver and yukon through it on his own but they will be cheered on by thousands of argentinian founded really descended on to send from all said they were making lots of noise yesterday when we were in the central square so i least argentina will feel like they have some home support behind them and of course frontals are kicking off their campaign today. jonathan crane in moscow many thanks to both of you. from us
