carrying six hundred thirty migrants including some one hundred twenty three unaccompanied minors some of the new arrivals had to be taken directly to hospital . volunteers turned out in their hundreds to assist the migrants and called for cooperation among you states. and boy i think the aquarius has become a symbol that something isn't working that we are here confirms that it doesn't and wouldn't be like this if politically things worked in europe. a week ago the migrants were rescued from overcrowded dinkies by the aquarius in the mediterranean . the ship soon became the focus of a pan-european dispute about migration when it was turned away by malta and italy with rome saying e.u. member states were not doing enough to shoulder the migrant burden and. spain's new

socialist government is offering the migrants free health care and says they will examine their refugee status on a case by case basis. well german chancellor angela merkel is seeking a merge and she talks with several in nations on migration policy with germany on the brink of its own political crisis now merkel is locked in a rout with her interior minister. who has threatened to defy her and go ahead with plans to unilaterally tighten it germany's border on monday neck and is adamant a european solution must be fact. i'm joined in the studio by our chief political correspondent melinda crane melinda mack is under huge pressure right now to find a european solution on migration i mean the e.u. has just been so divided on this issue why is the solution so crucial for machall right now the e.u. is absolutely divided basically the system for distributing refugees has been

broken ever since the huge influx of migrants in two thousand and fifteen and that has been imposing enormous strains in particular on the countries on the external border of the european union that's countries like spain like italy like greece it's one of the reasons that italy rejected that boat that we just saw and said no we're not taking on anymore it's one of the reasons that we now see a nationalist populist populist government in place in italy so one reason for uncle americal is simply fairness justice within the e.u. but beyond that this is also imposing strains on the european union as a whole it has absolutely been an ongoing dispute within the union which is why the chancellor has said again and again this is a european problem and we need a common multilateral european answer and she said it again in her podcast this weekend talking about the crucial issues that she'll be bringing up with president

emmanuel france when she meets him this week let's just take a brief listen to what she said. and all the piss is a european challenge that also needs european responds and i think this is one of the crucial issues for europe's cohesion. so in the two weeks before a very important the e.u. summit at the end of this month she apparently is hoping to talk to some of those key countries on the southern perimeter of the european union to try to see what kind of agreement she can reach with them and one other very brief reason that it's so important to her she is a convinced multilateralist anyway she has been saying in regard to donald trump unilateral nationalism is only going to create more problems than it solves so essentially she has to walk that talk she does indeed and there are also domestic political issues on the table with this absolutely there are the interior minister is holding a gun to her head she has issued an ultimatum and the reason for that is essentially

tactics the c.s.u. his bavarian conservative party is looking toward a very important regional election in their heartland coming up in october they are very worried about gains by the far right anti immigration a.f.d. party and they're looking to be very tough on immigration in order to ward off. essentially gains by that party that said we have heard ministers the hoffa saying he doesn't want to now split the conservative bloc i'm speaking to build. a newspaper we can take a look at what he said nobody he says in the c s u is interested in toppling the chancellor dissolving the conservative parliamentary group or breaking the coalition. now with that in mind i have to ask you is this potentially the rumblings the beginning of a compromise it could be we are seeing that same newspaper the build reporting that the c.s.u. may be ready to give the chancellor the two week window until that summit that i

mentioned and allow her to try to do some deals with some of these other european countries on the southern border but that the that somehow there would be some face saving measure agreed for the c.s.u. the c.s.u. is denying that for the moment but certainly that is the thing that most insiders think is likely to happen all right chief political correspondent melinda crane that thank you very much indeed. and now to some of the other stories making news around the world police have clashed with protesters at the border between greece and macedonia as the two nations signed an agreement to change macedonia is name u.n. and e.u. officials joined prime ministers of the two countries to witness the historic signing the deal of renames macedonia the republic of moral macedonia resolving a decades old dispute. in any group a shootout in a fire bombing in the capital managua have killed eight people including two

children the violence came hours off the government and protesters struck an agreement aimed at ending weeks of deadly political unrest both sides are blaming each other for the flare ups that have agreed to continue negotiations. for a taxi driver who injured eight people when he swerved onto a moscow sidewalk is blaming fatigue for the incident the man told police he hadn't slept in twenty hours and only fled the scene out of fifty his up his own life several of the victims have come to the russian capital for the world cup. well match day four of the world cup started with costa rica against serbia in the southern city of samarra and now the goal of the day came in the fifty six minutes of beautiful free kick from alexander color of the a so b. account in placing the ball perfectly able to ruin into the top corner and just out of reach of the costa rican tika kaila not us the final school that one now.
