hard. truths detectives starts june thirtieth on g.w. . this is deja vu news live from berlin chancellor angela merkel seeks the help of president a man who was mccall from france as she scrambles to forge a new european migration policy the two leaders are meeting near berlin along with their ministers the chancellor needs a solution urgently her own interior minister has told her to find a solution fast or she will take action and stop. also coming up

a new record for misery the united nations refugee agency says almost sixty nine million people were forcibly displaced last year more violence and persecution will go live to the u.n. in geneva. and we've got the world cup covered including england getting their campaign off to a winning start but it was no walk in the park against tunisia we'll have highlights and a preview of today's matches. i'm sorry so much going to thank you for joining us germany's chancellor angela merkel is meeting france's president tomorrow mccall in a push to solve europe's migration crisis mccall arrived in germany a short time ago and headed to the talks in may's a back outside berlin he and merkel up for a meeting today to prepare for an e.u. summit next week in which both hope to reach a compromise over. blocks deep divisions on migration levels and you can listen to

your ear minister has told her to make changes to migration policy or he says he will take action himself michael is still pushing for a unified e.u. solution on monday she met the new italian prime minister promising support for his efforts to tackle the crisis last week he was in paris last night involved in it was israeli's newly elected right wing conservative prime minister conti he sets the tone for today's meeting between under the math and france's president in monterrey. italy's borders our european borders instead of being divided in europe about solidarity and responsibility we must all act together with a multilevel approach. that very solidarity just backfired on the german chancellor's home to avert a government rebellion she promised to deliver a new pan-european deals on this side so today's meeting with the french cabinet

near berlin is key to bringing paris on board as most other e.u. partners keep chattering past each other in a babylonian fashion despite a tower of problems to solve with troubled home the list france and germany want to discuss has just been refocused to what was already top of the list migration here french president mccall two wants to see progress. systems that were designed to work with quotas and did not deliver we must find suitable mechanisms that. machall finds herself torn between the political support she now needs and what she's expected to offer your voice. we want to support italy's desire for solidarity and hope that germany will also get understanding and we talk about solidarity in europe around the issue of migration. so is merkel and mccall sit

down to talk europe means about mana house both under pressure to find an answer on you migration and ideally a common definition of what european solidarity actually means let's bring in our political correspondent simon young he is just outside of berlin where on the american and emanuel mccall are meeting today hi simon as we said a medical needs an e.u. solution to migration she met with the italian prime minister today she's meeting with the french president what kind of support is she looking to get from a manuel mccall. well she needs some quick clear words of support that a european solution is possible of course the franco german relationship. he won right at the heart of the european union if these two countries can't agree in talks that have just begun at this government palace he can see behind me a little bit late about an hour behind schedule we are but they're talking now it will be several hours of tough talks tough i think also because although the two

leaders are basically on the same page as far as the idea of the ambition of getting a european solution is concerned there are differences france is. a much more kind of national approach it's got for instance a bilateral agreement of the kind that angle americal says he's now looking for with italy and he's been sending back migrants back to italy ten thousand already this year we're told in general france has been less inclined to take migrants in certainly compared with germany and the ones that do arrive there get fairly tough treatment in many cases so it's much more as a whole style of approach that very minute in minister he's talking tough on migration at the moment the interior minister rather than a mathematical style of policy simon so you're saying there are differences but if they do manage to find a common franco german approach what would that look like. well i

think as i say there's a there's an ambition to have a common approach to have harmonized asylum procedures all around the european union to have a system of distributing migrants who arrive and of course also to beef up europe's external borders the frontex border agency which essentially needs funds it needs personnel it needs better structures to be more effective in keeping people back who don't really have a good reason to come into the european union it also means for instance more agreements with north african countries the germans have done a lot in libya but there are there's more that can be done to help those countries deal with the flow of migrants and possibly to process some of the asylum claims there so all of that they could start to agree and change the dynamic around this debate to show a bit more cooperation of course there really isn't a lot of cooperation from countries like hungry for instance which are very much

opposed to these common rules and i did have you simon young are covering the meeting between angela merkel and a man woman conference today thank you simon it's not just in europe but in many places around the world a record number of people are on the move a new report by the un refugee agency says war and conflict has led to the largest increase in refugees and displaced people since it started monitoring the situation in one nine hundred fifty one the 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 roughly two thirds of them are from five countries syria afghanistan south sudan mian maher and somalia the agency says that resolving any one of those regional conflicts would have a major impact on the global refugee crisis. while many western governments are tightening their policy so more and more migrants are being sent home the gambia in

west africa is one of the world's poorest nations so many young try to make it to europe but when they are sent back home they often find themselves overwhelmed by a sense of shame and with few opportunities to improve their prospects. known endearingly as the smiling coast of africa the gambia has little in way of its economy to smile about two decades of tyrannical rule forced especially young people to europe in search of a better life but now into new governance these migrants asylum applications are being rejected and spent three years in germany training and working as a caregiver for the older me until he was unexpectedly deported he now lives with his mother and six other people in a small house in the capital. from the surely this is my folder from school in germany where. they arrested me

inside the classroom so i had to take it with me. and i brought my school books all the way back with me. brah. this is the worst case scenario well integrated immigrant with job 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. government be able to see everyone do they want to do what you mean but i don't have any. problem in germany my whole three years. i couldn't comment not in only walk then my home there are between them and finish and go to school which is really hard for me right now because they deport me. i lost my job in germany 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. opportunities for them. let me talk country that are going on right and you know they're coming back our society that we stigmatize them that we treat them like you feel use. need to be deported just to us is a to be treated like a feeling and to be used to stigma of a society that notifies the western world it's not the best start for the gambia as 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 how would it look. no one of them but minister are you saying that in this

country in order to get a job you have to see the minister that i looked. so. i for all of them understood what i could soon want the airport at least into their problem and work with them over their problem if it comes to my office but listening will do little for people in my condo who have nothing to show for their stay abroad and nothing to look forward to at home. migration policies are also under fire in the us president donald trump came to power promising action against illegal immigrants now he is defending his administration's border protection policy in the face of rising outrage over the forced separation of migrant children from their parents he has called for tough action against illegal immigration and declared that the u.s. would not be a migrant camp the number of separations has jumped since early may placing many children in sealed camps with little or no contact with their families.

they are images which has shocked the world children detained in cages separated from their parents this is the trumpet ministry sions zero tolerance policy in action opponents have likened the practice to torture the american academy of pediatrics has warned of quote irreparable harm one critic says the policy has been poorly planned many parents have no contact with their children well the government is saying there's a hotline that you can call and find out where your child is our understanding is that hotline isn't anything behati it's not working it's in english people don't know how to access it when they call nobody's answering so there's really been no thought put into this new initiative about how to ensure that a very bare minimum at least a parent's aware of where their child is and they're allowed to communicate.

despite bipartisan calls for an end to the policy the trump administration is not backing down the justice department says they are simply enforcing the law a law which they blame congress for enacting we do not want to separate parents from their children you can be sure of their if we build a wall we pass the legislation we close the loopholes we will face these terrible choices the numbers fall and president donald trump has accused the democrats of refusing to come to the negotiating table to draft new laws yet at the zero tolerance policy that's forcing the separation of families was introduced under his own republican administration as each side blames the other the children in these detention centers are forced to cope with a new reality it could be months before they're reunited with their parents.

now to some other stories making news around the world north korean leader kim jong il and is in beijing for a two day visit he met with chinese president xi jinping the talks likely focused on kim summit with u.s. president donald trump china's foreign ministry said the visit would strengthen relations with north korea and promote peace in the region. indonesian authorities say at least one hundred twenty eight people are missing after a ferry capsized and sank on the island of sumatra one person has been confirmed dead about twenty people have been rescued from the water the wooden boat going down on lake toba a popular tourist destination and retired tennis champion boris becker does not have diplomatic immunity as he claimed last week in a bid to avoid bankruptcy proceedings in britain backer said he was a sports ambassador for the central african republic but now that country has declared backers diplomatic passport to be a fake. you're watching news still to come.

there is only one name on it in women's fans' lips that of their captain harry cheyne find out why coming up. and i think you're due by the first monica to have some news from one of germany's because carmakers as been a development this sumi german luxury coming out he has announced a temporary replacement for. after his shock wrist yesterday but i'm sure will take over as acting c.e.o. while it remains under a wrist short is a member of our board of directors where he served as head of marketing and sales the shake up started when prosecutors arrested former c.e.o. they were concerned that he was attempting to tamper with evidence in the criminal investigation into the diesel emissions scandal. well it fears about the effects of a tit for tat terrorist between the united states and china are weighing on the

german economy the munich based evil research group has downgraded its growth forecast for this year from two point six percent to one point eight percent the move follows similar downward projections from other bodies including the german government other sources of concern for the german economy include a shortage of skilled labor and italy's debt crisis well earlier i spoke to clearance of who's president of the institute for economic research and i asked him how germany is holding up amid all the current turmoil. the german economy is relatively solid this is mostly because the domestic economy is steady wages are growing employment is growing so consumption is strong and the construction sector is expanding so the do with domestic economies supporting growth but the export sector is at risk here is it risky because well i know that the bundesbank for example is one of the few that seems to contradict your projection they expect the german growth to rebound certainly in the second quarter thanks to higher state

spending can that compensate the risk you just mentioned not really we think it's true that public spending is expanding about we don't think we were bounced back to growth we expected at the beginning of the year so we were slightly more optimistic than the one or bonus back at the beginning of the year and you know we don't think there will be if you know a decline in the second half but i don't think it will rebound very all right if you had to point your finger at those risks which ones would you say are the worst when the q risk is clearly protectionism trum is creating a lot of uncertainty but then we have some other factors for instance monetary policy. was supporting falls and is now becoming a. headwind for the economy because less so in europe mostly in the us but the central banker will now stop buying bonds and slowly think about her interest rates or the supporting forces going away then of course we have the debate about the

future of the eurozone about migration how will this impact on the stability of the us or is it there's a number of risks you know the mario draghi the head of the e.c.b. today in a speech in portugal actually mentioned that he won't change his policy too fast it'll be done step by step which actually weighs on the euro so that must have been intended i think this was intended because they all of these risks accumulating you know they wouldn't increase interest rates now quickly but you know the debate is there and higher interest rates were. will be the next step it may take some time but it will come ok of course the risky i mean trade obviously that's something that we've been talking about left right and center the big issue and it just won't go away but then we still have of course the uncertainties surrounding brics it. german companies somewhat sort of better prepared now for the unknown that's hard to say i think they are preparing for a scenario of very hard break no agreement would be in place which means they need

to rearrange their production chains you know think about their production in the u.k. for the european market so this will certainly hold up investment at the moment so i think it's another dampening effect or and what about italy when the when the new government finally came together we know it's a populous go home and from the left and the right spectrum certainly one of them not exactly europe friendly how big is the risk of a euro crisis to dot oh i think you're institute calls it i think that the government has. this year old debate they don't say anymore you know they want to leave the euro it is unclear what they will do on the fiscal policy from a country they seem to be focusing on migration which is a problem but not so much for the economy a lot will depend on how they run their fiscal policy if they really increase the deficit massively we will have a crisis but maybe they will think about that as well the german economy also seems

to be quite good at the moment at least sort of weakening itself through homegrown crises like the gate scandal and just yesterday. audi was arrested the first top executive. is that going to be a problem for europe's growth engine it is a problem it is certainly a complete p.r. disaster but there's more behind it is it seems that there is a complete lack of strategy in the car industry about how these things should be dealt with you know how the industry wants to deal with the deal. the issue was how it wants to position it sort of so it's really a disaster our reputation is important and this is clearly you know not it's not just the damage that's not just damage to the car industry but to the entire german industrial sector all right claimants who was there the president of the institute for economic research thank you so much. it is day six of the world cup in russia there is plenty to talk about with only

mottaki from d.w. sports with us hi alina all right so first of all before we look at today's action monday was a day of relief for england fans it most definitely was i mean they started against tunisia but at the end they got the job done but i have to point out they left it very very late as for belgium not a lot of drama there they want to get to panama three no in very convincing fashion right before we talk about well let's take a look at what happened. after a sluggish first time off trees martens finally broke the deadlock for belgium short the osterhaus time with this effort. and after that the match really got rolling so the favorites the man we conquered needing just six minutes to add two more goals three mil despite a slow start belgian kick off their world cup competition in a convincing fashion. england followed suit against tunisia meeting just eleven minutes before their top marksman hurricane put them in front johnstone's header

brilliantly saved only for came to be perfectly positioned for the rebound. but after this challenge between walker and ben use of. the referee awarded a penalty to chyna zia for johnny sutton she kept his cool to convert from the spot one of the after thirty five minutes a flattering score for that unitarians. would all it stay till deep in injury time when harry kane became a national hero by scoring his second to ensure england got a winning start to this world cup group g. is definitely poised to be a two horse race between england and belgium. or italy mackinnon england finally go far in this tournament the england they're not favorites at the chinamen but there's so much potential on this team and now especially with these top teams these favorites like germany and brazil under performing who is to say that in the end can't go all the way and i do still think there's some problems

that they need to work on especially a primed i mean they're forward line daily hourly cain for him sterling they should have been a lot more clinical in the final third they had so many chances against tunisia but at the end you know they missed a lot of them and they really could have been up by two or three goals and but you know what i think a lot of in the fans they probably will be happy right now and at the end a win is a win let's hear what harry king had to say i mean he is the national hero for england at the moment. do it in the back of your mind that's going to be one of them days that will just fall into the right time but that's what occurred is about us why you are so determined to not get close minutes and. in the. article in the happy england fans what about today we have russia taking on egypt tonight this will be a very decisive match i think whoever wins between russia and egypt will have a very good chance of making it to the next round and fortunately for egypt of

course there's still a very big question mark around. will he be fit for today's game he won't really know until neda that that and the late last year apply show that as much as they can play without him i mean they can keep up with good tights they can score in his absence they need him and as for russia egypt will be their first real test of the tournament because i feel like saudi arabia the fife know when that doesn't count all right the rest of today's action a group h. colombia in japan are battling it out right now in saran second later poland is facing senegal we actually have a world cup reporter jonathan crane who was in moscow he had some words on that let's listen to well this is the home of spartak moscow named after the regular gladiator because he stands watch over this stadium today's match features two gladiators from poland and senegal really being billed as a cross between robert levin and sadly i am on a monday looking to bounce back from the disappointments of champions league final

defeat with his club side liverpool where levon has something of a point to prove because for all his domestic domination work by munich he scored twenty nine goals in the brain his legal last season his critics accuse him of falling flat on the international stage poland have lost six of the last eight world cup games or senegal in their last appearance in this tournament came through the group stage unbeaten that was back in two thousand and two when they reached the quarter finals so you have to say on recent form the african side has the edge . our jonathan crane there for us in moscow to talk to you and of course japan also they leading one nil against colombia at the moment so let's see how that pans out or that we might talk to the various war thanks for keeping us up to date. now billions of people around the world are expected to watch at least one of the matches in russia and for some of them it's not just about the spectacle or national team pride the beautiful game is also bringing best that to one refugee camp in northern syria after seven years of civil war. final preparations for an

evening of world cup action a syrian charity is providing residents of the i'm isa refugee camp in northern syria with a brief respite from the harsh reality of life. they've been displaced because of the country's seven year war. lords it's a great initiative to allow people get away from the confined to miss fear of the tents to have fun and watch world cup games there are a lot of sports fans here. during the stifling heat of the day the games are shown inside for many it's the first time in several years they've been free able to watch soccer matches or even play the game it's an activity many of the refugee camps residents have taken up again under the control of the so-called islamic state their love of the beautiful game could lead to jail. this year we have the chance to watch the world cup last year we were in areas

controlled by us militants on television sports and communications were prohibited syria's national team failed to qualify for the world cup but for many it's not about who wins it's the taking part that comes. our minder now of the top stories that we're following for you here on g.w. . seeking the help of president obama a friend says she scrambles to forge a new european migration policy that calls need is urgent her own interior minister has told her to find a solution fast or he will take action himself. and the united nations refugee agency says almost sixty nine million people were displaced last year many are fleeing war violence and persecution the agency says it's an unprecedented new record for people forced to flee their homes. thank you for watching good having.
