this is. from berlin tonight germany's chancellor holds onto power but things is what could be a political mission impossible i'm going to medical today avoided a head on collision with her interior minister over migration policy course as a whole for has given the chancellor and ultimatum tightening asylum rules in two weeks with that he used blessings. also coming up the chief executive of german watch every car maker ality is arrested on suspicion of fraud the latest
10:01 pm
development in the diesel emissions cheating scandal and at the world conflict belgium got off to a winning start the tournament by beating panama three nil look at that and the dainties get. off it's good to have you with us the german chancellor angela merkel has a verdict a crisis in her government over migration policy for now at least her interior minister a horse a horse her from the chancers bavarian sister party the c.s.u. wants to close germany's borders to some refugees the chancellor says that would go against european union principles which today say hold for gave merkel a deadline if she can't deliver a solution in cooperation with the e.u. in two weeks' time he says he'll act alone. she didn't get more than
10:02 pm
a short respite but that was still more than chancellor angela merkel was expecting . after fears her government would collapse she has now won some time until the e.u. summit at the end of june to find a european solution to the asylum dispute. merkel has made it clear that she doesn't want to go it alone. we believe that uncoordinated rejection of asylum seekers at our borders in the heart of europe could lead to a negative domino effect at germany's expense which comes in german interior minister horse as a whole for and his party the c.s.u. want german border police to reject asylum seekers who have already been registered in another e.u. country but chancellor merkel says that's not compatible with european law she says germany would first have to check which country is responsible. she'd like to agree to individual treaties with countries such as greece and italy to facilitate the
10:03 pm
return of refugees but even if no such agreements come out of the summit merkel says that doesn't mean the c.s. use plan to refuse refugees entrance into germany will come into effect. of these things will not happen automatically we in the city i believe it is important that we first discussed the situation amongst ourselves and only after that will we enter into discussions with the c.s.u. . while merkel spoke in berlin her interior minister horst zehava held a news conference in the unic he's supposed to be merkel's ally but today the two sounded like fierce rivals they hope to warn germany would act alone if the e.u. summit doesn't yield a solution. we saw venice pay no workable decision is made i have decided and the party leaders agree with me that at that point it will be necessary to turn away refugees at all borders function moose make their goods to records they offer says he's determined to carry out that policy even if germany has to go it alone but
10:04 pm
acting against merkel's will would probably lead to his dismissal and the dissolution of the governing coalition was a whole for and merkel battle it out the coalition's third political party the center left s.p.d. made its allegiance clear by raising the e.u. flag at its berlin headquarters when it comes to migration the social democrats agree with merkel compromise with europe is the only way forward. joining me tonight here at the big table is julian lehmann he is from the global public policy institute think tank he has advised the german foreign office on migration policies and right next to me our very own political correspondent simon young gentlemen welcome to the show simon let me start with you is there any reason to think that merkel can do in two weeks what she has been able to do the past
10:05 pm
three years well i don't see that i see that the timetable that she's been set by her very and conservative friend as as it wants a baby has a hope of two weeks to get real movement on the migrant question he wants to see you know the way for wood for resolving this at european level if that doesn't happen he says he's going to take action have his police to sending turning people back at the borders and so on so those under a huge amount of pressure as she's talking about having bilateral negotiations with some of the other e.u. countries she's meeting the new italian prime minister here in berlin the seeming to sort of talk about this question of course the italians one of the countries that is really faced a lot of migrant pressure recently and they're not a total happy they too want to change the policy just like holes they hold. you know it's a it's a really really difficult choppy waters for anglo-american at the moment in july
10:06 pm
and we know that the message from the interior minister seems to be if the european union cannot agree on a migration policy then germany will act unilaterally is it feasible at where we are right now just with the technology for border guards to determine at the border whether asylum seekers should be rejected i mean can they do that i mean you're alluding to the practical side of things and i i do in fact see practical as well as legal obstacles and first of all on the legal one as we seen it also in the clip and there is a procedure that. normally needs to be followed even for those that have been registered somewhere else in other e.u. states and that procedure takes time so it goes against pushing someone immediately back right even if another country is is normally responsible for that state so that's a little thing that's the whole question under the so-called double in law that is a u.
10:07 pm
law but on the practical side of things there are also obstacles i mean look we have more than eight hundred kilometers border line separating austria and in the very alone right and then more than seventy border crossings it's not really possible to staff those overnight. and then in fact many of the people who come to germany will have crossed another country right and imagine the situation where somebody has been registered in italy travels through austria then arrives in germany and germany says to the austrians look italy is irresponsible that's why we're sending them back to austria what will be the reaction of the austrians be right it's it's not on us and good luck trying to document all of that as well in so i mean so let's go to this meeting next week in miracles can she put the pressure on the rest of europe at that meeting i mean when the doors are shut and she's there with her counterparts can she look at them and say either you help me now or you're going to
10:08 pm
take me down and with me the european project as we know it well as you say good luck with doing that i mean merkel is in a in a weak place of the moment she doesn't only have friends around europe so i think if she was. trying to say help me now that may not pay off and i don't think it's about putting pressure exactly either what she needs to do is to set out a vision that that will work and there are two things really need to make sure that the external border is well protected so talking about this frontex border. agency having that beefed up having it have real powers and be really effective possibly even doing the process of migrants wanting to come to europe doing the processing is in the states like north africa outside the european union where they can get some processing have their asylum claims looked at and the other thing is this question of how migrants are going to be distributed within the european union
10:09 pm
how can you get a country like a stone but miles away from any external borders you know to take people in that is the difficult persuading game that she's going to enjoy very briefly i mean here we talk about him a more compassionate more humane migrant policy across europe at the e.u. can't even reach a deal. i mean if she can't reach a deal now in the in the next two weeks then i think the only think that's really left is for her to try to forge an alliance between different like minded states and try to solve that question of both border protection and distribution because otherwise indeed it's going to be politically difficult it's not clear what she wants to do in the next two weeks because there have been conflicting reports but we definitely will see julia lehmann from the global public policy institute think tank and our political correspondents i mean young gentleman thank you very much u.s.
10:10 pm
president obama trump he has responded to the political turmoil surrounding the migration issue in germany and europe and he did it with a tweet today the president tweeted the people of germany are turning against their leadership as migration is rocking the already tenuous berlin coalition crime in germany is way up big mistake made all over europe in allowing millions of people in absolute strongly and violently change to their culture. but trump's tweet is not based in fact according to a government report released last month germany's crime rate fell five percent last year to its lowest level in thirty years and more than one million migrants have arrived in germany since two thousand and fifteen or we sent our reporters out this afternoon to ask what people here in berlin think about trump's tweet.
10:11 pm
ok. yeah well can i say. what idiot for the crime in germany isn't a partisan you know his ideology is exactly what we should be fighting against i think is i think this tweet represents the views of the minority in germany not the whole country. generally speaking i think he's right usually don't expect much from him but in this instance he set the nail on the head. he's probably not the right person to be listening to talk of this debate is opinion is not the most important . i don't notice any negative impact from migration at all and exactly the opposite it's actually an opportunity a chance for enrichment for our culture to have more influences from other countries and. trumps tweeds on immigration here in europe come amid a growing backlash in the u.s. over his government's practice of separating migrant children from their parents at
10:12 pm
the border with mexico or now the un's human rights chief has denounced the policy as i you'd rather hussein saying today that the thought that any state would seek to deter parents by inflicting such abuse on children is unconscionable even president trump's wife molony has waded into this rally issuing a statement saying that she quote hates to see children separated from their family . kept in cages people caught crossing the border illegally. these images from inside a detention facility in south texas more than one thousand one hundred men women and children the adults risk jail and separation from their kids. outside there is outrage protestors call for families to be kept together.

10:14 pm
is cruel it is immoral and it breaks my heart our government should not be in the business of warehousing children in converted box stores or making plans to place them in tent cities in the desert president trump defended the policy and appeared to blame the democrats for the crisis in a tweet he wrote it is the democrats fault for being weak and ineffective with border security and crime tell them to start thinking about the people devastated by crime coming from illegal immigration. with foster centers now reaching maximum capacity to do not accommodate it intense out in the texas desert and with temperatures is set to soar in the summer many are calling for disease or tolerance policy to allow for some degree of humanity. business news now an arrest warrant in hand calls for one of germany's biggest car maker executives today von exact brown talking about a woody after the arrest of syrup or staal or in connection with a visa gate scandal german luxury carmaker audi is set to receive an interim boss

10:18 pm
people here who are working there behind you. well the atmosphere here is quite tense also with the workers who are coming out here behind me out of the gates have actually tried to talk to quite a lot of them but nobody really wants to speak to me and people even a avoiding me by going on the other side of the road and i can understand that because probably they fed up with the journalists like me have been pestering them for close to three years as you said and trying to talk to them whereas top executives like one right now who just drove past us can just go by in their cool cars and don't have to talk to us actually and they're responsible for it. you just mentioned what it would be one such a walk about the situation it really is a bad monday for the company what about the management want to be expect to come out from this session ongoing session there when it comes to the what's next after . the boss is detained. yes that's
10:19 pm
quite hard to tell actually because the board meeting is supposed to have started at around two meaning that at least it has been going on for six hours maybe it's over we don't know because one executive just left but the thing is that for the entire time these three years the top tier people here at the company have been protecting rupert saddler he's been accused of hushing the entire thing up audios been accused of being the breeding ground of diesel gate scandal and a lot of people have asked him to stand not to give up his position actually but the thing is that there hasn't happened and we don't know yet whether this is going to happen and whether his wrist actually is going to cost him his job q durak covering they are for us involved the ongoing does ok thank you so much. google is such a invest five hundred fifty million dollars in chinese all myself giant j.t.
10:20 pm
dot call making at the latest u.s. company to dive into asia's growing e-commerce pool deal will c.j.d. dot com products displaced on google's shopping service and the chinese company spread beyond south east asia the region is rapidly becoming a battleground for key industry players hoping to cash in on the us rapidly growing middle class. all right let's bring in school to here standing by for us in new york was much more on this massive investment welcome yes what kind of market is google tapping into or cutting themselves into what do they expect. first of all google tries to get a bigger bite out of the chinese market but also for a j.d. it is a shot to get deeper into the u.s. american old school the european market but then if we look at recent developments
10:21 pm
online rival amazon recently has gotten deeper into the online advertising market so now google kind of strike back and try to to get a bigger chunk out of online shopping so the stock of google by the way traded a good two percent to the upside and overall technology stocks did better here at the beginning of the week than the broader market and we're going to be looking at a different company here taiwanese electronics manufacturer foxconn they want to invest in the united states the other way around setting up a half quarter staring at the north of the u.s. why what's behind that they're setting up their headquarters into a walk in the state of wisconsin and they're also building. a panel of plants in the amount of roughly ten billion dollars in that state visit johnson actually has offered
10:22 pm
a faux call on tax incentives tax rebates in the amount of about three billion dollars for the next fifteen years and that has become a common theme so if we look at amazon for example picking their new headquarters they're also looking for a huge incentive to goldman sachs has done the same picking and you had quarter in new york a couple of years ago also getting multibillion dollar take sprague's so this is one side of the story and then on the other who knows maybe fox can also drive tries to avoid tariffs with setting up this plant and the headquarter in the state of wisconsin and was that in the united states yes thank you so much for this analysis. and now that's from the business desk over to you now friend all right fred thanks very much ari the latest from the world cup in russia group g. actually got started on monday two games both with a common theme a big favorite pitted against a relative soccer minnows when england to continent and an even bigger golfing
10:23 pm
class when belgium walked horns with world cup debutantes panama here's all the group g. highlights for after a sluggish first off denise mountain sunnily broke the deadlock for belgium shoki off the half ton with this foot great strike by the fall was enough does it symmetrically to go drolling for the favorites to win cancun needing just six minutes to add two more golds stream is despite the slow starts bags of people so watch them come play in convincing fashion. england followed suit against an uzi needing just eleven minutes before the top marksman how we came to us and then front johnstone's us had a brilliantly saved only full came to be perfectly positioned for the rebound but after this challenge between walcott and ben you set the referee for what it took penalty to tunisia set yani sussy kept to school to convert from just talk one all
10:24 pm
asked us to five minutes a flattering school for the two new zealand's one zero win at stay two deep in injury time when harry came became a national hero by scoring a second to ensure england's got a winning start to this world cup and now a group g. east definitely poised to be a two horse race between england's and bangs and. all right here the big desk now is present in from our sports desk here with the cool shirt in the bow tie to say you gave us harry think he gave england just enough to beat to nisha so how do you rate. you know yet this put this fire put the football goggles on we look at england they've been underachievers when it comes to the world cup they've ever scored more than one goal in their last nine games until very k. the captain you know had heroics in the last extra time in this game you know and it was interesting because england had trouble finishing in the final third ok way more tallit they tunisia coming into this game sneezy yeah they had an unbeaten run
10:25 pm
you know gone for a while but different different levels we're talking about here and you know they had trouble finishing in the final third there was a substitution change right in sterling you know got swapped out for marcus rash for it at one point to try to really reignite the off it's they had fourteen shots in the box and one point it was a draw you know the ninety minute mark and i was shocked to see harry kane actually come through for his team you know but it is it was nice to see and expected and it's nice actually that england is finally showing what they should have always been showing for on this stage you know because now their level with belgium on points obviously doesn't have the benefit because of goal difference but you know all in all the great start for the originators of this modern game of football you know cruise to an easy win he gets panama this evening i mean would you say that was an impressive performance. you know impressive expected i would call it
10:26 pm
impressive you know belgium in the every supporter finals of the last two major tournaments they have an awesome made feel ok that's one thing and they had a lot of momentum behind the but you know this is a team that had no losses in the world cup qualifier you know losses in the friendlies we're looking at some action here you know things really got started in the second half the bukavu right there scored a brace to really give belgium the victory over panama panama sir for a stroke up i don't think there were a lot of expectations you know in terms of them winning you one of those want to show a good face but belgium are now unbeaten in their last ten world cup group games so they're on my one heck of a run i briefly actually started with sweden taking that panel gave me. a defensive struggle early on in this particular match to you know a lot of questions around a sweden knows lots of money brahim of it you know but the game finally opened up in the sixty fifth minute we're taking a look right now but player was taken down. and the captain for sweden stepped
