this is news coming to you live from berlin. hangs in the balance the german chancellor's interior minister may decide to define her on migration policy a move that could trigger the collapse of mexico's governing coalition we look ahead to the momentous day ahead also coming up giants humbled world cup champions germany are in shock after losing to mexico in their first match of the tournament and the other favorites brazil failed to beat switzerland we'll find out what went wrong for the top ranked team.

oh i'm terry martin good to have you with us a simmering conflicts over migration could escalate today here in germany there's concern that it could usher in the end of government interior minister hall so they hope meets today with the heads of his conservative c.s.u. party they will decide whether they hold for should seal germany's borders to migrants who entered europe by other e.u. countries and registered their medical opposes unilateral action on migration conferring an e.u. wide approach it's a hope it defies the chancellor it's possible that she will sack him. that could be the end of michael's government. well here for some analysis we have d.w.

political correspondent nina nina quite an important day ahead in germany a lot of people are watching what's happening in berlin the chancellor held a seven hour crisis meeting last night with her colleagues the government obviously in trouble what quake speck today i found it interesting that you said people are watching what's happening in berlin because today it's also about what's happening in munich more importantly so because sister party the c.s.u. this is something that's almost unheard of we haven't seen this kind of a conflict for decades not since the seventy's that these two party it's been at loggerheads so not important meetings being held. by the c.d.c. you. and by the c.s.u. in munich where they'll decide whether the interior minister hasi who fell from the c.s.u. will go it alone and actually implement the closing of the board is

stay with us nina we're going to talk more about this of course but first we're going to take a look at some of the background to this political crisis that's been brewing and it has been brewing for some time the dispute over migration and chancellor merkel's government give you an idea of how this whole thing a bald we have this report. it seems like ages ago but not even one year has passed since on got a miracle and her party won the last german elections for the fourth time in a row. but since then it has become lonely and the berlin chancellery. could be undermined not by the opposition but by her closest allies because they simply cannot stand manacles liberal refugee policy the impetus came from this man horsey hoffa head of the small bavarian c.s.u. party the sister party to on the americans can survive c.d.u. machall made him interior minister in march but then he used opposition to undermine merkel's authority the rift began in two thousand and fifteen the year

when germany saw a massive influx of refugees in the end nearly one million people came to germany from war torn countries like syria and iraq but also from the balkans and north africa many believe the chancellor is someone who could save them from their circumstances then merkel made this statement that defined a pivotal moment in her government. the arms of feel a special fish offered us we have achieved so much we can do this since then there have been two sides to the world sees her as the most powerful woman who was close friends with us president barack obama and two other world leaders looked up to. but the other side of on the medical is how our own country sees her the long serving german chancellor head of a grand coalition that few actually wanted in the first place with tensions growing machall stime as chancellor could be coming to an end unless she can close the ranks between the c.d.u. and the c.s.u.

from the beginning of the refugee crisis the c.s.u. strongly opposed policy of opening the borders the two party leaders frequently clashed as at the c.s.u. party convention in november two thousand and fifteen you seem to feel. we are convinced that this is a story task of the integration of refugees. into our society will not win the approval of the german people if we don't have a maximum cap for the number of people allowed into our country. but in future given. a demand machall was not willing to accept and the rift between the parties became wider and more evident by the day. when this if things go on like this we will have more refugees coming in than last year. the nazis no coordination. the government in berlin does not have a plan field. no matter how you look at it there won't be any other possibility

than to limit the number of people coming in. train. i've said it before the system is collapsing. in the end its domestic policies that are threatening her tenure the influx of refugees sparked the rise of the right wing populist party in germany making them a real election threat and the various upcoming state election and that has seen the c.s.u. threatening to break with merkel and the c.d.u. a partnership that has existed since the second world war it's a major policy battle that could ultimately spell the end of merkel's thirteen years in office. so the political conflict over migration is coming to a head within chancellor merkel's own government nina what options if any does the chancellor have for resolving this crisis largely depends on what the c.s.u. decides them using at ten am local time in munich and they'll decide whether or not

they're going to give the federal interior minister of australia who for the go ahead to pull through with his plan migration which would mean to block asylum seekers at the national border something that i'm glad michael doesn't want if they do defy the chancellor. in this manner then of course has no chance but to sack her interior minister that within ten lead to collapse of the government coalition but i could still look for other coalition partners within the bundestag she could also go for a vote of no confidence and ask the question once and for all are you with me or are you against me in this question of migration policy all the c.s.u. could decide to give a bit more time they are saying that they don't really want to. say well maybe there is a compromise in there and you mention the chancellor merkel's looking for a coalition partner she's doing that also within the european union she's hoping to

get agreement on what she calls a european solution to the migration crisis there's an important summit coming up later this month is there any sign that the chancellor will be able to get an agreement with her european partners on how to deal with migration well this is you are arguing that they're actually helping uncle americal because they're saying if we're showing that germany has its own national interests then that gives as a better negotiating position because at the moment of course we all know that germany's as a country that's taking in most asylum seekers' across the e.u. and i'm glad macro has been pushing for in the e.u. wide solution but so far unsuccessfully she does want to hold bilateral meetings with other e.u. partners like italy today for example with france tomorrow and also probably we're going to see a special meeting with countries like italy france and greece this coming weekend stay with this new because i want to look at some some broader context for this migration debate here in germany. is political it is berlin's political crisis but

it is a european crisis the dispute between uncle americal inner interior minister has been fueled by high profile crimes involving migrants here in germany one is the case of an iraqi asylum seekers suspected of raping and killing a fourteen year old. women girl and then fleeing the country critics say there are longstanding failures in germany's asylum system that merkel has been unable to address and now another high profile case allegedly involving an asylum seeker is due to be heard in court today it involves the killing of a fifteen year old german girl in a small tel near frankfurt and afghan asylum seeker has been charged with stabbing the girl to death in condo just west of the rhine river the case has inflamed passions in conda and residents feel their town is being hijacked by demonstrations from both the far left and the far right in recent months. correspondent sarbox has been in congo over the weekend she piled this report. watch

over your children america is still in power that's the reading cry here and condoms all the time these marches have become part of everyday life ever since mia a local school go was murdered allegedly by an afghan refugee. over the weekend about a hundred people from the so-called right wing women's alliance showed up thousands have turned out every month drawn from the right wing and the un that's the groups across germany most residents are outraged come the artist are mean and his daughter nina see it's unbearable. you know i do miss our homes our condo freezer they are abusing our town for their own purposes she been going to for idea they pretend to have certain reasons which onto the real reasons they're here and they're paralyzing us here. once in come to. barricade yourself in your house all day with the children because it's been it's time dangerous that it is not

thousands of gay men those are mean anina are involved in efforts to combat rightwing propaganda and town but army is no afraid to put up and tie a nazi signs outside his house. the bar the let's go through the more dealing with the last big demonstration i couldn't even pin them up on the wall with much less mouth i'm here. with a grab them out of my hand and seriously threatened us with war. in march right wing extremists and hooligans broke through the cordon in front of our men's gallery and stormed into the courtyard and threw away luckily the police were there to prevent anything more serious from happening. ever since the murder of fifteen year old mia chemist seen at st hijacked by heated limited range of. color has become a microcosm of germany's internal division striking a nerve around the country and fueling the colorized attitudes against migration in

the street like that simple unfortunately we have to expect that there will be more murders it's none fortunate situation owing to all the migrants that we've let into this country make on. mind of what i will miss i demand a fair policy and that the borders be closed off and was most people here see things differently at this demonstration residents confront the organizers of the right wing movements alliance for the first time face to face when i look at the flood of money from countries you're not you're only doing this because you hate foreigners and you want to stop immigration that's why you're exploiting this murder here if you want. a peaceful town festival have been planned for this weekend and refugees have been explicitly invited. to utah and just recently you know there's a family of refugees we're looking after who wanted to come today. a father to school children but they were afraid to show up because of the demonstration in the

market square that's sinister because. in the end not many residents came the tensions here seem to have kept many away but our main. nina and their fellow citizens want to keep up the struggle and take back it's kind. of political editor and sister with nina these high profile crimes involving migrants that's just one example they've been to a few other made headlines over the last couple months what role are they playing in this whole debate the political debate we're seeing right now and they have been playing a crucial role and you mustn't forget of course that a lot of people came to germany and not all of them are saints and so you do end up of was a few criminals and of course the far right movements and the far right posse the f.t. they are capitalizing on every such here bend and they are using this and to implement the policies and they're also putting the c.s.u.

in the very under a lot of pressure no one has a political letter thank you so much for now and of course for all of you who are following this story we'll be bringing you up to date as the day progresses a lot of things moving on the immigration story well now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today colombia has elected the conservative k. to be the country's next president duke a defeated the leftist candidate to stop a probe in the first presidential runoff since the controversial peace agreement with park rebels was signed decay has promised to make changes to the deal but said he would not shred it completely. and hundreds rallied in the u.s. state of texas to protest the government's policy of separating migrant children from their parents under the trumpet ministrations zero tolerance policy adults who enter america illegally are placed in custody and their children are taken away some two thousand children have been separated from their families between mid

april and may. well u.s. president trump continues to put his stamp on global trade well yes and today we see reaction again all across asia terry terry the shares there are headed south after u.s. president on a tramp cranked up trade tensions by imposing tariffs on chinese imports not friday trump announced hefty tariffs on fifty billion dollars worth of chinese imports he also laid out a list of more than eight hundred products that would be subject to a twenty five percent tariff starting on july the sixth including costs beijing responded in kind of with a retaliatory tariff list of fifty billion dollars worth of u.s. products and this is of course just the latest chapter in a foreign trade strategy all aimed at making america great again but a year and a half into trump's presidency how do things really look. when trouble came to

power he said he wanted to supercharge the american economy to six percent growth his main stimulus for that was a raft of tax cuts but since that legislation passed six months ago what's changed superficially the u.s. economy looks strong the stock market has been buoyant unemployment is falling down to three point eight percent in may the lowest since one thousand nine hundred nine delivered on his promise to create more jobs job openings rose to six point seven million in april but there has been a decline of worker bargaining power and erosion of labor standards nor have wages grown since trump took office there have also been a decline in foreign investment and foreign investors are also buying less american debt but rather than raising taxes and increasing spending washington seems content to fund itself by continuous bond issues and although trump came to office promising to reduce the country's trade deficit it has in fact grown since he entered the oval office now it's at

a ten year high. let's talk to someone who's actually doing business under the trump administration martin the reason the c.e.o. of the a.g.c. oh achoo cooperation and i think cultural multinational based in the u.s. state of georgia but you joined us today from a conference in march but off in southern germany you are all regionally from germany you have people citizenship are you glad to be home yeah i really feel good we are very close to the famous. king look great castle fienberg very are funny very very are a beautiful country ok so above from the beautiful landscape back here we're told and looking to the united states now how is donald trump's trade policy impacting your business in georgia well not so much in georgia about all of the business community is very negative about or tekton ism so we'd like neatly to create

and that's about be proud to support davis but let me looking at his track record he's he's been in office now for one and a half years and unemployment at least in the united states is down to its lowest level since one thousand nine hundred sixty nine that is impressive is donald trump doing something right you say you know maybe i think want to do it for tax reform i think it's something everybody supports supreme court i think is helpful but overall i think he needs to change his mind because he to always talked about greater deficit between you over the u.s. and that's only half full because after all because if you add all the services and everything the americans are doing here and we are doing here it looks much better looks very very balanced but he doesn't want to understand that now then what would you then advice the german government to do i mean the u.s. german relations certainly have improved since donna trump is in power what can or

what should germany do in order to improve the situation. well i think the trounson need to talk to him and she needs to simplify her speech so to say when you talk to a populist or doesn't want to go too much into detail you need to answer in that simplistic way as well and need to explain why basically he might be along in the first base and then second what can be done i think there are some things which have to be tackled like the current. savants which are different between your the u.s. or let's say also i think the contribution to nafta all of those are things where he might feel i don't where he might have a point and i think they need to get a little bit more into a conversation in order to avoid that time his overreacting all the time business needs constancy and the need to understand what the rules are and now we are surprised that on a daily basis by

a strange initiatives of the president all right mathematician hyginus the actual cooperation a company based in the u.s. state of georgia talking to us from the southern german town of mansoul that all thank you so much thank you. it seems the u.s. and president on a trump are content sampling traditional trade partners with terrorists and threats of a trade war and that's leaving the e.u. to pick up the mantle of free trade the block is said to open free trade negotiations with australia in july speaking in canberra e.u. trade commissioner cecilia monster and called on supporters of open trade to stick together she said a deal would be a win win for both regions the e.u. this australia's largest trading partner after china. the world cup of course is underway and to top ranked teams failed to win on sunday

that of course includes defending champions germany they lost to a quick and resourceful mexico one nil in their opening match of the group stage. i'm mexican stunner in the thirty fifth minute chatty tone left much from those injuries in his tracks and fed having less sano who carried the ball into the yes this was a blazing counterattack from the mexican's the sino made a nifty move a measure it is of in the box and fired the ball past a helpless manuel neuer think saltation from mexico d.j. action for germany. germany got their best chances in the winning minutes first mario gomez heading over the bar from close range and two minutes later you'll see him brought to marco the ice to go home as but he couldn't flick it past yammer would show up the ball then found its way back to bronze but his street team long range shot clipped the post mexico now top group while germany needs to go back to the drawing board. well for more on the world cup action i'm joined here in

the studio by emily short's from d.w. sports and from the outskirts of moscow by d.w. correspondent jonathan harding good to see both of you a stunning loss there for the germans let's start with you jonathan you're keeping tabs on the base camp with the german team is there a sense of shock in the air there are today. absolutely after that performance germany have got a lot of work to do and i don't think they were expecting to be in this position you're home to even said off to the game that losing and being behind in games is not something that this team is necessarily used to they've got to look forward and start to get results in this sort of an otherwise it could be over very quickly today is a media free day that was supposed to be a press conference with a blog that's no longer happening germany have taken a step back and taken a step away from the rest of the world and of course some work seducer improve on

almost every single aspect of their performance if they are to get a result against sweden i mean not a great start to the german teams to the german team there at the world cup what did you make of their performance in this first match with mexico actually i don't think it was much of a surprise because i think we saw a similar performance to the friendly against the games that they had before the world cup like against saudi arabia when they just narrowly won or when they lost against austria but this time their opponent mexico was just much much tougher we didn't see much improvement and funnily enough for me the players that have the most impact on the game and look the best with the subs are the ones that came on. so we have to wonder whether you're some movement the right decision in his starting line up many people are asking that question also because of the goalkeeper of money well neuer he was back in action after nine months of layoff due to injury do you think it came back to early do you think he might have saved that goal that he didn't save when he was at its peak. maybe could've maybe mark

under testing could have saved it we don't really know all of that is pure speculation but what we can say is that money and i was not as sharp not as quick on his feet as we're used to seeing him so i stand by what i've said for the past couple weeks already if i were you i wouldn't just give mark and detesting the chance to prove himself he's fit he's played a fantastic season at barcelona this year and he wants to prove that he can be germany's number one keeper as well ok so that's the first game we've got some other games coming up let's talk to jonathan about that jonathan germany up next against sweden how should coach york in lurve be preparing for that game so i expect he'll be preparing with changes as ever he just said i think he's got to bring in mark or royce maybe julian brown as well he's got to make some sort of alteration after the opening day performance my son was sent off to the game last night but obviously if germany had seven or eight players in attack the defense was

going to be unstable and he said that that was something that he had talked about inside the team and obviously hasn't arrived that hasn't come to be clear in the minds of his teammates and if that's the case then germany will have major problems going forward so they've got to improve their balance they've got to get their attack right on the base of their midfield there's a lot of work to do but i think germany have enough time to get it right. jonathan thanks so much from now jonathan harding there with the german team in russia emily we've got another game to talk about here it was a night of upsets on sunday one of the co favorites brazil also didn't manage to win their game what happened actually brazil failed to win their world cup opening game for the first time since nineteen seventy eight a long time so actually what happened was the swiss went behind when they headed to brazil across right to the from the free to continue with the long range shot who scored the keeper had no chance stopping this one really. if you just look at that

the way that that curve went through and that's beautiful and then five minutes after the restart sent a corner curling into the box and stevens who were made at one all he shoved around a little bit out of his way but no foul and so it ended a draw. so another shock result this time from brazil that was not how they scripted the game what exactly went wrong for them funnily enough their star studded off and was had problems finishing twenty one shots and only one goal only five shots on target that's just not enough they need to use their chances better and it really seems as if the big teams in this tournament just underestimated their opponents or thought they could cruise through the first games based on the fact that their favorites to win the world cup if you look at germany they had a lost argentina spain brazil drew and that's not enough if you want to win the world cup what about neymar i mean a lot of people watching him very high expectations he had to live up to did he do

good to say i mean he had a good game he didn't score which is probably what the expectation was but we also have to mention that neymar was felt more in this game than any other player previous see in the past twenty years at a world cup so he was taken off his feet a lot of times emily thanks so much emily bell shots from the various sports thank you. and for you know just a reminder the top story we're following for you here today on d.w. news the fate of german chancellor angela merkel is hanging in the balance says her interior minister decides whether or not to define her on migration policy if he goes ahead america will probably sack him and his c.s.u. party could pull out of the governing coalition. there watching t.w. news we have much more for you coming up the top of next hour and all our stories online of course at dot com thanks for watching.
