big dreams on the big screen. t.v. movie magazine. this is news coming to you live from a new record for misery in the united nations refugee agency says almost sixty nine million people were forcibly displaced last year playing war violence and persecution u.n.h.c.r. we'll be here to give us the details this is also coming up chancellor merkel's race against time she meets the italian prime minister in her quest for
9:01 am
a solution to the migration issue after her mutinous interior minister delivers an ultimatum to donald trump to enter the fray with a tweak. to the world cup england tried to avoid the curse of the favorites in the group stage against tunisia it was anything but a walk in the park superstar harry came did all he could but it wasn't enough to go live to moscow. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us in many places around the world the strains caused by a record number of people on the move are causing massive problems in different ways that dominates our program today we begin with a new report by the un refugee agency that says war and conflict have led to the biggest increase in refugees displaced and. people since it started monitoring the
9:02 am
situation in one thousand nine hundred fifty one its report says that since two thousand and sixteen the number of refugees has increased by three million to a total of sixty eight point five million people that's a new record roughly two thirds of them are from these five countries syria afghanistan south sudan myanmar and somalia the agency says that resolving just one of these regional conflicts would have a major impact on the global refugee crisis. well the united nations high commissioner for refugees has released its report with us here to talk about it is the u.n.h.c.r. representative in germany dominic bosh thanks for being with us so the number of refugees has jumped to a new level what's behind the numbers well i'm afraid the cause is unchanged it is conflict that is civil wars it is persecution against individuals the drivers
9:03 am
that force people to seek protection elsewhere unchanged so in a way it is almost a given fact that this number increases year on year now many of the nations that take in the refugees they're poor and they're struggling to cope even rich countries are having difficulty dealing if not in practical terms in political terms how is the what is the u.n. doing to try to promote burden sharing among these countries there is a concerted effort to try and in hands the international solidarity that ties together countries that a major whose countries that have accommodated large numbers of refugees and those that support refugee operations those that taken refugee use food resettlement to try and recalibrate this and also recognize the important contribution that holds countries around the was areas make to give one example of you
9:04 am
know the amount of land that a country like uganda makes available for refugees themselves and on to set of their it's quite significant and i think that too has to be part of the focus of international support and also development beth and speaking of international support the united nations you talked about the drivers of migration and refugees what is the u.n. doing to try to to stop the conflicts that are driving these refugees to leave their homes you know why. level of course the united nations has the security council in which important decisions are taken about. peacekeeping missions and initiatives and maintaining peace and security but we also know that look at syria this conflict has been raging for more than seven years novels or bays no imminent solution in sight in the meantime the united nations is trying to combine you many tarion emergency assistance with investments in development activities to make sure
9:05 am
that people get a perspective that they're not just warehoused in countries that have provided protection but they actually have the opportunity to put their children through school i think these are very important measures to support and sustain refugee populations precisely in those countries that otherwise at a disadvantage mr bush thank you so much for talking with us today dominic bush the u.n. h.c.r. representative here in germany well large scale migration is putting pressure on governments all over the world as we mentioned many western governments are tightening their policies so more more migrants are being sent home these deport those deported can face a bleak future in gambia in west africa one of the world's most poverty stricken nations so many young gambians are trying to make it to europe but when they're sent back home they can find themselves overwhelmed by a sense of shame and few opportunities to improve their prospects. known
9:06 am
endearingly as a smiling coast of africa the gambia has little in the way of its economy to smile about two decades of tyranny call rule forced especially young people to europe in search of a better life but now under new governance these migrants asylum applications of being rejected and dumb down spent three years in germany training and working as a caregiver for the elderly until he was unexpectedly deported he now lives with his mother and six other people in a small house in the capital bundles so. this is my fall from school. that's going on in the class home or headed in the classroom with me. so i still haven't known or i have my fall from the school in for time. and i brought it back with me. this is the worst case scenario oh well integrated immigrant with job
9:07 am
prospects in germany ends up back in the gambia with nothing the twenty two year old can barely bring himself to leave the house ashamed he didn't live up to his expectations. the government who would be everyone they want to do what you mean but i don't have any. problem in germany my all three. i couldn't comment not in on you walk then go my home meter between you and finish i'm going to score points is really hard for me right now because they had to put me down morning i lost my job in jail and i'm here in one year i don't have any support for anybody so. an. activist knows how bleak the situation can be they're coming home to a country that has no more opportunities for their. coming to
9:08 am
a country that has been done right and you know they're coming back to our society that we stigmatize them that we treat them like if you lose. need to be deported just to this is a the be treated like a view and to be used just to have a society that notifies the western world it's not the best start for the gambians young democracy but youth minister henry gomez says these little the virtually bankrupt country can do it i can assure you that anybody. who came to my office. has been put into some way to do something we have would it not. know one of them but minister are you saying that in this country in order to get a job you have to see the minister i cannot. cite for all of them understood what i could or should what did happen east into the apple and worked me over their
9:09 am
problem if it comes to my office but listening will do little for people like a doll who have nothing to show for their stay abroad and nothing to look forward to at home. german chancellor angela merkel and u.s. president all troll very different answers to the challenge of what to do with such large numbers of refugees a monday truck took a shot. germany's migration policies in a tweet that's not likely to win him any points here in berlin here's what the president posted 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 allowing millions of people who have so. in who have so strongly and violent they changed their culture. wealth for the record crime in germany is twenty five year low and germany's conservative coalition he referred to has had a close bond since world war two in the light of trump's misinformation we sent
9:10 am
a reporter out to ask what people here in berlin think about his tweet. ok. yeah well can i say. well. i'm in germany as hard as it is ideology is exactly what we should be fighting against 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 part of this debate is opinion is not the most important. i don't notice any negative impact from migration at all exactly the opposite it's actually an opportunity a chance for enrichment for our culture to have more influences from other countries. so diverse opinions there from people in berlin about donald trump's
9:11 am
views on migration let's get more from our own political correspondent peter craven is where the syrup peter saying that crime in germany is up when in fact it's a twenty five year low how do you explain that well in the first instance i think donald trump is trying to distract from his own words from criticism of his own administration for the two thousand children the who have been separated from their parents as part of a border crackdown in the u.s. so he's trying to distract from that there's an element of fake news misinformation that you're pointing out the crime is a twenty five year low here in germany suggesting crime is on the rise donald trump is paul trying to polarize here in germany he's trying to play off elements of the german migration debate one against the other all the people as it were the german voters against the government there's also. it's amazing the extent to which people have been angered by this i spoke to
9:12 am
a stately journalist yesterday evening who are well known journalists here in germany said it feels like a propaganda war the level of interference in german politics this go. against old best practice in in international diplomacy and it reminds a lot of people all the people been referring to the moment recently when richard grenell the new u.s. ambassador to germany was installed and came out and offered his warm support as it was his intention to give will support a far right elements in european politics the ambassador had to apologize i don't think donald trump is going to we're probably going to see more of the same coming out ways. ok well german chancellor merkel she is under a lot of pressure right now here in berlin the migration debate is threatening germany the german chancellor is government her mutinous interior minister also has given her two weeks to come up with new policies or he says he'll do something in self he wants to close germany's borders to some refugees but the chancellor says that would go against european principles so she met italy's prime minister just have a conte to discuss possible solutions and later today will meet france's president
9:13 am
and manuel mccall. the first steps toward a european solution to the asylum dispute a meeting with the talian prime minister just set the conte in berlin facing an ultimatum from within her governing coalition to crack down on illegal immigration chancellor angela merkel was able to win time until the e.u. summit at the end of june for america going it alone is not an option. that 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 in german interior minister hosts the whole for once german border police to reject asylum seekers who have already been registered in another e.u. country. well mickel spoken berlin interior minister is a hoe for held a news conference in munich the conservative c.s.u.
9:14 am
he heads is the bavarian sister party of mikel c.d.u. but on monday they sounded like fierce rivals we saw in spain 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. as a whole for says he's determined to carry out that policy even if germany has got to go it alone he knows that acting against nichols will would likely lead to his dismissal and the dissolution of the coalition as for now the crisis in the german government has not been avoided only postponed medical needs to find a european solution to the migration crisis. indeed she does the german interior minister is threatening to take unilateral action on germany's borders on july first if the chancellor doesn't get a europe wide agreement on migration a tough ask our political correspondent peter cave is still with us peter. the
9:15 am
chancellor has now met the italian prime minister she has some other meeting set up as well presumably this is the start of goals effort to get some sort of european agreement is there any real prospect of her achieving in the next two weeks what she hasn't been able to achieve over the last three years good question very unlikely would be the shore towns i mean uncle america has been leading from the front on this all along but the other countries in europe the other states nearly all of them are much more reluctant she still looking for a pound european solution but nobody can see what that solution is there are too many reluctant countries and she's beginning to see him now move towards bilateral talks with the various countries that are worst affected by the traffic across the mediterranean the refugee traffic not least the italians the italians who are in town yesterday evening in the in the in the person of the prime minister the question is what incentives can be offered to the italians for them to keep refugees in the country rather than channel them off around the rest of europe what incentives could they be logistic support to boost a beefing up of the capacities of frontex the international border for the european
9:16 am
border force or money i don't know the interior minister here in germany horse a hope he's threatening to take unilateral action on germany's borders turning some asylum seekers back if the chancellor doesn't come up with some sort of european solution does he really have the means to do that well it's certainly what voters want they've indicated in opinion polls they've said that they want to break with angle america's policy they want to tougher approach of the borders they want to see not just symbolically but in real terms people being sent away from germany's borders and there are two categories of people that applies to there are those that apply registered already in another e.u. states in their fingerprints will now be registered so they can be identified and then they're all the undocumented and they can be identified because they're undocumented they don't have documents and both of these categories of the both of these classes of people whether it's humanitarian or not german voters want wholesale hope it's awarded for them to be sent away at the border peter thank you so much to do with your political correspondent peter craven thank you. let's catch
9:17 am
up on some of the other stories making headlines around the world today two people were killed and poor others wounded in a shooting in the swedish city of mild miller no arrests have been made but police ruled out terrorism and said there was no cause for public alarm is sweden's third largest city. u.s. wrap her and jay z. on froyo was shot dead in his car in florida beach on monday better known by his stage name triple x. ten taishan x x s ten tasty on the twenty year old released a chart topping album in march the police suspect his killers motive was robbery. and reports say spain's new government plans to remove the remains of fascist dictator francisco on co from a state funded most ileum it wants the site to remember the civil war and not glorify the dictatorship reinterment would be the latest high profile measure by
9:18 am
pedro sanchez's left wing government aimed at consolidating power. well monica's here with the business news the future of global trade is still on shaky footing the stakes are getting even higher terry asked we speak beijing accused washington of blackmail and vowed retaliation of us after u.s. president donald trump threatened on monday to slap a ten percent levy on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese imports in the latest round of tit for tat exchanges that of a rapidly escalating trade dispute between the world's two biggest economies these fresh threats follow wants trump calls china's quote unacceptable decision to raise tariffs on fifty billion dollars in view is good following similar from the u.s. . that's an interesting situation my colleague aaron tilted joins me in the studio now so donald trump thinks that more terrorists could the quote encourage china to
9:19 am
change its unfair practices what practices are you talking about well i mean there are two aspects of the trumpet ministration is really easy focusing on i mean one is some of the protectionist policies we've seen come out of china you know protecting industries like the steel industry or their agricultural industry and then flooding the international market with cheap products but also in the last couple days we've seen kind of a new tune coming to washington they're really focusing on this issue of intellectual property you know for years international companies doing business with china have lamented the fact that chinese companies are all too ready to basically take advantage of their patents and their intellectual property for their own for their own purposes and now we definitely have seen that move heard reports of. american and european companies being forced to turn over their patents or give chinese companies access to their patents if they wanted to do business in mainland china and we've also seen things like well my own experience i was at a tech show a couple years ago and i want to see a new app developed by a chinese maker and now the little is
9:20 am
a mid-level company they were displaying their new app on i phones i took a look at his i phone and as i was looking. and i realized it was running the android operating system meaning it was they were displaying their apps on faked cell phones which really just kind of goes to show you that while china has a different. a different way of viewing intellectual property and some of their international partners ok so it looks like does have a point however does tit for tat. tariffs one side's imposing one the retaliating against of force will this lead to anything well that remains to be seen i mean at the end of the day if we really get down to like a need to critique trade war the question is you know who's going to win who's going to come out of it on top and if we're looking in the near future i do think beijing has the better hand you have to realize you know the government in beijing has complete control of the economy there and they answer to no one on the other hand is looking at mid-term elections coming up very very shortly and we've already seen the chinese tariffs focusing on agricultural goods and those agricultural
9:21 am
goods come from deep red states in the united states those are states like my home state of iowa that actually supported trump but at the same time they export a lot of soybeans a lot of corn a lot of pigs to china and if they start feeling the pinch well that could reflect the midterm the midterm results of trump which means i think in this case beijing is the stronger have all right on tilton there as always thank you so much. but here's the first top executives in the auto industry to be arrested for his involvement in the diesel affair ality c.e.o. was arrested on monday as part of an investigation into emissions test cheating german luxury comicality set to receive an interim boss a decision is expected today. the audi c.e.o. maintained he knew nothing about the diesel scandal at a shareholders meeting last month everything happened very quickly after that prosecutors searched his home last week then monday's arrest something that there
9:22 am
have been hints that the defendant could try to influence evidence for example the evidence of other defendants all witnesses. is accused of knowing about the emissions cheating in europe when the scandal broke in the u.s. but unlike in america he did not order a halt to production thousands of audi's with software issues have since made it onto the road. douglas has been at the helm of audi since two thousand and seven within the company there's been criticism of his handling of diesel gate audi engines fitted with the emissions cheating software have ended up in other cars in the v.w. family like porsche. which will means that once again germany's faux wagon is in damage control the world's biggest carmaker is losing trust among investors its own workers and motorists. think sense that if someone is found guilty of having done
9:23 am
the wrong thing then they have to answer for that was enough for qantas to. show its not only of the n.w. and ality but all of germany in a bad line. stadler is the highest level executive at volkswagen to have been arrested since the scandal erupted but he may not be the last. at the soccer world cup in russia two more powerhouse teams went into their matches as heavy favorites both were trying to avoid the fate of germany who lost to mexico over the weekend first on monday england took on tunisia and then there was an even bigger gulf in class when belgium lock horns with world cup debutantes palomar. all after a sluggish first off the east mountain sunnily broke the deadlock for the engine shortly after half time with this effort right strike poses for woods and after that so much really good drolling for the favorites the woman who cockle meeting
9:24 am
just six minutes to add two more golds stream is despite a slow start to badger people since johnstone's as had a brilliantly saved only for cain to be perfectly positioned for the rebound but after this challenge between walcott and ben you assess the referee awarded to penalty to tunisia said yeah nice to see kept to school to convert from just talk one or asked us to five minutes a flattering school for the two new zealand one zero one and stay tuned deep in injury time when harry came became a national hero by scoring his second into england on the winning start to this world cup and now a group g.'s definitely poised to be a two horse race between england's and bangs and. more day of drama our world cup correspondent jonathan crane is standing by for us and moscow jonathan hurricane agape england just enough to beat turn asia how do
9:25 am
you rate england's chances. well as an englishman i had a very keen eye on this match and i think for the first twenty minutes england were a breath of fresh air they posses the ball well they moved well created space and occupy could have been three or four goals up before tunis the council doubts a hurricane ivan a from the penalty spot maybe a controversial penalty and then after that england fans must have been fearing a familiar story that side frustrated by a weaker opponent and they were right until the end when harry came to pop up with the winner and i'm just a side note to all of this crisis the players had to battle with an infestation of musty tell you the stadium very close to the volga river a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes and even though they sprayed insect repellent before the game you could see the players trying to swat away the most from their face is that during the game betting that might be too bothered about that they had their own north of the flies to thank harry cain that's now hear from him in his place much reaction who is in the document that's going to be one of
9:26 am
them days just one. time but that's what the cut is about us was new so i just took the until ninety plus minutes and and thankfully got on and then i had jones let's talk about germany you know there's been a lot of talk about the title holders curse what is that and should germany really be worried. indeed the title holder and i think if you're germany fan you might want to leave the room now because what i'm about to say doesn't make for good listening three of the past four holders have crashed out at the group stage for one of the festival the only exception to that with brazil in two thousand and two incidentally brazil i were the last fight to retain the world cup back in one nine hundred sixty two so it just goes to show you how hard it is to defend this trophy how hard it is to keep together a winning group of players that you have it's done that as best he can obviously
9:27 am
he's had summer time it's nice to be fit and best in fine style you get from the twenty four team winning side the consequently he named the oldest japanese starting eleven for sixteen years against mexico and a lot of the german fans we were speaking to fearing that maybe this side apos that best they really did look off the pace that sammy could hear and notably in midfield so maybe there's a chance that some of the younger players to come through and shine a judean brandt's very good when he came on maybe to. get his chance jonathan thank you so much world cup correspondent. and you are watching d.w. news will be back with you at the top of the next hour with another full bulletin you'll get all our stories online at g.w. dot com thanks for.
