met today just outside of berlin to discuss euro zone reform and solutions to europe's migration crisis and chancellor merkel said that europe should stand up for its democratic principles and she called for greater in you solidarity in managing migration. to people who agent may need one another french president a man who mccrone needs under the mat cofa his ideas on europe and the german chancellor needs france for a europe wide migration policy should last may's a bag outside of. the pleasant atmosphere for difficult subjects after the talks mccrone cold front german cooperation and a united europe. would to see if it's really a decision for society and perhaps even for civilization. do on the one hand there are those who say we can get rid of the year of the deal and no longer addresses challenges i mean really for us if you. on the other hand are those who say as we

do that this europe can make progress if we become more sovereign and unified hop on a hold on just a more to turn a for pursuit when it resumes. when it comes to european asylum policy where machall urgently needs results there is backing from the french president front supports the aim of sending refugees home already registered in the e.u. back to the country where that initially been registered. both want to further strengthen your upset external borders and a strong franco german access an asylum policy at the e.u. summit at the end of june. we want to prevent europe from further division and instead we want to promote common solutions. this also optimism on both sides when it comes to e.u. reform the issue that mcchrystal has made his own that the euro currency is to be

made more stable france and germany have agreed to invest millions in the eurozone however the eurozone budget will be a bit smaller than what micron wants as per medicals wishes. it could have met it just cannot it's totally pragmatic what budget do we have today in the eurozone none what do we have to moral it's a eurozone budget doing as unknowable. mccraw being both pragmatic and ambitious the details for reform can be decided later not go and mccrone say that a new chapter of franco german relations has begun. all right for more on that new chapter i'm joined by our political correspondent so i mean young he has been at that meeting just outside of berlin major bank good evening to you so ivan so we know that the german chancellor angela merkel she needs results on migration quickly and she could use a political wife wine from mr mccollum what did she get today.

well she certainly got a certain amount of support no obstacles to place in hawaii by president micron he signed up as far as the migration issue is concerned to that objective of a european solution of finding common asylum rules that suit all the members of the european union and they've agreed to go a little bit further some of the detail talking about for instance setting up asylum census processing centers for migrants outside the e.u. for instance in north africa and other african states where people claims could be looked at that's the kind of thing that you know even the populists in italy if for instance will will like because it could mean that people don't arrive in europe in the first place also both leaders talking about providing more help for those

countries particularly affected by migration of course the southern european nations it's the in greece in particular have been very affected by this issue and even on the question of bilateral agreements a little bit grudgingly perhaps but france's president said you know he won't be letting migrants through to germany that's exactly what the troublesome bavarian conservative leader also wants out of medical of course he's got her under pressure because he said if he doesn't see advances on the migration issue in the next two weeks he's going to take unilateral action and start taking a tough line on his own so a little bit of what she needs to keep going in the difficult situation she's in in bolin is what the chancellor got from the french president today we know that she needs the support from the french president but that's not enough she needs more support from other edu countries when it comes to finding some solution on migration dishy have anything that she can offer these other countries to get them

to come on board. well they've talked about that as well they've talked about providing incentives as i say support for the particularly affected countries i think. the last few days is a travelled a little bit on this issue in respect of this idea of actual agreements so wish she would prefer to have a european wide range but that everyone signs up because as the team leaders said in that declaration today you know individual solutions result in more migration nonetheless merkel is now saying is well you know if it's a question of doing bilateral deals with particular countries to say you keep your migrants there and maybe we'll support this project or we'll help you to deal with that problem that is the poff that nickel seems to be inclined to take because again she's under such time pressure to show some kind of concrete results and

a change of policy on this very troublesome issue so we know that merkel wanted to talk about migration today and that's what happened we know that mr mccraw and he wanted to talk about the euro zone budget and reforming of the euro zone i mean did they have any results to talk about i mean we know that a euro zone budget will go into effect by two thousand and twenty one but i mean is there are we talking about real reform here simon or is this just window dressing to keep the french president happy for a while. well they figure this declaration they have today which is a piece of paper that contains all sorts of technical details about for instance the european banking union about the european stability mechanism developing that into a european monetary fund and so on so there's a lot of detail there but they also suggested that these were just ideas of go to get the other leaders around the e.u.

to have signed up to these ideas as well. our political correspondent simon young in just outside of berlin tonight simon thank you well here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world italy's new far right interior minister. says that he will not back down from a controversial proposal to conduct a census of his country's roma community the proposal has been sharply criticized by his coalition partner the populist five star movement its leader described it as quote unconstitutional flash flood in the financial capital of ivory coast have left at least eighteen people dead and displaced hundreds more original rains washed away homes while sinkholes formed on some roads causing chaos heavy rains respect to persist for several more days chinese president xi jinping has called on the u.s. and north korea to implement measures agreed at last week's summit between him and

from their children you can be sure of their if we build a wall we passed some legislation we close some loopholes we will face these terrible choices the numbers for 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. at the world cup in russia a group h. the last one to enter the fray is also one of the most intriguing the group is viewed as wide open with no clear cut favorite it kicked off on tuesday was two
