of reaching the knockout round after they beat iran in a tight battle we'll have that and the rest of the action. and this is not your average yoga class it's one of thousands of mass yoga made up stretching across the globe on this international yoga day. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us german chancellor angela merkel is visiting jordan today a major refugee host country amid an escalating domestic conflict over migration that has shaken her coalition government medical health talks with jordan's king abdullah where refugee policy tough the agenda hundreds of thousands of displaced syrians including some initially hosted by jordan have migrated onward to europe with germany as a key destination. chief political editor michel is traveling with the german

chancellor let's hear how long the medical is working with jordan on the migration issue. in june german chancellor angela merkel pledged this will one hundred million dollars in credit for jordan which already you've seen some three hundred eighty four million in support and development aid it's a country that is severely under pressure from the issue of migration and that at the same time needs to make sure its own population has a good future those were the words of the german chancellor here recognizing jordan is contributing to keeping this region stable and stability is also what jordanian king of dollar said with common interests were both countries were working for each other's interests here but of course the overarching issue for the german chancellor is the political crisis that is brewing back home and that is all about migration the initial open arms policy she severely under pressure her chief

foreign policy adviser stayed behind in berlin to get more and more eview countries to pledge that they will join the special informal summit on migration this coming sunday which in the end will sow how great uncle americal personal support as a politician is in europe after all she promised to deliver bilateral deals in time for the upcoming edu summit in under ten days time. right let's bring in our political correspondent here in berlin for more on the story have repaired merkel and jordan today said that germany must remain an open country but as michelle just said here at home she's facing a revolt among her own conservatives over open migration policy what do you think she means by that. these remarks were made to during the meeting and with those students from the region in the middle east and these students quite frankly are still the tongues of the german chancellor how safe it will be to live in

germany as a foreigner or as a refugee and the chancellor then and said that despite all the discussions going on in germany and despite of course several incidents we have had. foreigners all refugees being a tucked by germans here in the country but germany of course still would be a country safe to live in and she also said that germany despite all the discussions we are seeing right now needs to be an open country needs to be open for people who want to come to germany to work there but i think that this she didn't really mean foreign as student didn't really mean refugees but x. boots for. for instance on people or that's a high potential people germany really needs on the labor market all right robert will come back in just a moment to talk more about the challenges facing the chancellor with more displaced people in the world than ever before europe's resistance to taking them in is growing just yesterday hungary's conservative led parliament approved

a raft of tough new migration bills the package of legislation makes it illegal to help asylum seekers who are not entitled to protection and hungary now a change the constitution was also approved outloud outlawing lying rather selling foreign populations in the country. so we're bit we're seeing a hardening stance in europe over migration how tough is it going to be for the chancellor to find a european solution. first we have to differ between the european solution and the solution until america right now is seeking for the european solution the german chancellor has spoken often the last three years actually meant how all the european countries are going to treat the refugees bit ready in europe and how many kind of countries are going to take the burden right now that the problem is that many countries like spain or like italy or even or even germany have taken most of

the refugee burden and other countries especially in the in eastern europe said no we don't want or don't want to have a new refugees at all in our country like hungry as we have seen and so there was no possibility to find any quotas on how many people should go into rich country the solution seeking for right now is in the end national solution but not against the other countries what she wants to find this she wants to have the possibility to send people back to other european countries where they have been registered as asylum seekers and wants to give them back to italy for instance also three zero also plane but these countries have to say that yes to that and that's the actual idea of what is going to happen at the weekend all right or pretty good about our political correspondent i thank you for your analysis you know what. you're watching news still to come across the atlantic u.s. president trump caves in to the public backlash over his controversial migration

policy more on that in a moment. but first a look at some of the stories making headlines around the world pope francis has touched down in geneva to visit the world council of churches the pontiff reiterated his commitment to deeper unity between the various branches of christianity during the visit he'll take part in an ecumenical prayer and celebrate mass in front of tens of thousands of catholics. south sudan's president salva kiir and the country's rebel leader requests char have held peace talks in neighboring ethiopia it is the first meeting between the two warring leaders sense of peace deal collapsed in two thousand and sixteen tens of thousands have been killed and millions displaced in the country's five year civil war. and in one thousand and sixty two ferrari is set to become the most valuable car ever to be offered for public sale the two hundred fifty g.t.o. racer is expected to fetch more than forty five million u.s. dollars that auction in august it was only one of only thirty six examples of the

model built by the famed italian car. all it took was his signature us president donald trump had insisted he was powerless to stop the separation of immigrant families at the country's southern border but he has now issued an executive order to reverse course trump's move means families entering the u.s. illegally will now be detained together it is a rare policy retreat for the u.s. president following days of public outrage. you could have a lot of happy people. it was that easy president trump effectively reversing a policy that has separated sounds of children from their parents and kept them in conditions critics of cooled into maine and even evil. this is trump's zero tolerance immigration policy in action. illegal immigrants are

now being prosecuted as criminals and can be imprisoned for an indefinite amount of time the children that cross the border illegally however can only be detained for a maximum of twenty days under u.s. law the policy to separate children from parents was designed to get around that problem and critics argue to send a stark message to families thinking about making the journey. as the numbers of detained children grew in recent weeks so too did the waves of opposition from dozens of cities across america to congress. let's go back to a time a steady and decency in america when children were respected loved the children mr president be a dad for once it's been going on for six as the blowback intensified including from members of trump's own republican party trump relented signing an executive order to do what his administration had been saying for weeks it couldn't we're

signing an executive order. i consider to be a very important executive order it's about keeping families together while at the same time. making sure that we have a very powerful very strong order and border security will be. greater than previously so we're going to have strong very strong borders but we're going to keep the families together. although this solves one problem for his administration it creates another children will now be kept with their families in detention but because the children can't be detained for more than twenty days the trumpet ministration is headed to the courts asking a federal judge to allow children to be detained alongside their parents indefinitely for as long as the prosecution takes. of meanwhile the trump administration's trade policies triggering a global response monica exactly a semi and turkey is now joining the chorus of countries denouncing the united

states higher tariffs on steel and alimony i'm starting today and korea is imposing tariffs on twenty different us products ranging from coal paper and tobacco to cars and manufacturing goods in total of the retaliatory terrorists are worth around two hundred thirty million euros and turkey's prime minister says they should balance out the costs of the trump administration for terrorists now the move brings turkey in line with other nations including india which also slap to the u.s. with retaliatory terrorist on agricultural goods e.u. member states will follow suit tomorrow when tariffs worth some three billion euros go into effect meanwhile however the e.u.'s trade commissioner cecilia monstrance said the european union is ready to engage with the u.s. to solve the trade route between the two western allies monstre is currently visiting new zealand to begin talks on a free trade agreement not long ago it was the other way around but now it's

europe urging the u.s. to open its markets to free trade. you representatives like. are raelene allies across the globe against the u.s. protectionism. good morning because it could it's not yet but it could escalate. to a full trade war which would be bad for the whole world because we are so you zealanders and european union we are so interlinked in the global economy it's also in the chinese and in the u.s. with a global value chains so it will affect us as well it will affect our companies it will affect our consumers the e.u. is imposing its own tariffs on us products and they go into effect tomorrow. they'll have goods such as whiskey. jeans and motorcycles. there europe's response to president donald trump tariffs on european steel and aluminum. but the e.u.

trade commissioner is trying to leave the door open to new talks with the us government prefer a belief through the world trade organization. so that is a concern. and of course we are trying to work together with partners and new zealand is a very strong partner in that to see how we can strengthen and develop and elaborate new routes within the w.h.o. because it has served us well for know the e.u. is relishing its role as a champion of free trade. german automotive giant dima is feeling the pinch both from the emissions scandal and the escalating trade conflict between the u.s. and china the german carmaker has issued a profit warning saying costs from chinese terrace on cars produced in the u.s. would take a bite out of their bottom line that also has to recall some eight hundred thousand diesel vehicles across europe due to emissions cheating dima predicts that earnings

before taxes and interest will be below last year's levels. something to discuss with our man of the frankfurt stock exchange so early our hands out a profit warning and i should think that investors don't like it. no they don't like it at all. they're almost shocked i think because judging by the share price reaction it's minus four percent almost and timely wrist pulling the other auto shares along with it when you look at v.w. two and a half percent b.m.w. as well and the big auto supplier continental also down by over two percent and of course it's having an effect on the general mood in the sentiment and the numbers in the general market the dax is also down and european shares not doing so well. it shouldn't be that much of a surprise because one knew the time lower makes as you have these which usually

earn a lot of money in the united states and exports a good part of them to china would have been affected by tariffs and one shouldn't also be surprised diesel gave us a lot of money but investors were and one analyst said you know the first profit morning might not be the last that's probably part of the loss additionally today and b.m.w. also forced to say today it's leaving its forecast unchanged whether that stays that way will see all right well the eurozone finance mr minister a meeting in luxembourg today and under seventy something that the financial world is watching with great interest so what do they hope to hear from that meeting. solution a decision on greece the last instalment on the last bailout package for that over and that country is going to be sent on its way that's the aim of this meeting but they won't just wave it through and say here greece here's the money is how to base

expected a on the size of the volume of the loan and also on the conditions there's reform expectations involved along with that so it will be very closely watched here and just briefly what's germany's role in resolving that crisis. germany was always seen as an impediment to bailout money for greece but in the end always went along the finance minister of of country and the chancellor angela merkel and what many people here in germany don't like to hear or don't like to mention germany also benefited from all this process the latest numbers two point nine billion euros in interest on loans to greece into the german car for the much impressive all of us in frankfurt thank you so much. that's all the business for now time to catch up on the latest wealth cap action.

that's right monica time to talk world cup we have a lima talkee with us from the to the sports in our studio hi lima tell us what is on the world cup menu today another busy day in denmark honest and australia under way right now the danes unbeaten in their last sixteen international games and eating right now one nil at the moment and then of course coming up we'll be friends again a south american nation of course still hoping for their first gold at the tournament so hopefully they get it but the most intriguing game will be of course argentina against croatia and our correspondent jonathan crane will be at that match and he's on the ground in moscow right now for more on that. well everyone here seems to love leno messy any argentinean found with a messy discreetly pulled in for a selfie a messy but again take center stage here in russia when argentina meets croatia now the pressure is on messi missed a penalty in the last match and argentina are still looking for their first win of this tournament against croatia side that already have three points on the board

they're pretty evenly matched in terms of past meetings for croatia to hold a special place in messy house he scored his first international goal against them back in two thousand and six. or to limit the pressure on the anonymous has got to be so high he missed a penalty kick argentina drew drew and then you have his rival ronaldo scoring goals left and right yes that is a huge burden burden on messi shoulders when it comes to winning the world cup he has to win it and want it to be considered the greatest of all time and he his coach even said that the burden the pressure is so huge that it feels like as a gun pointed at his head and and of course the debate is he the greatest of all time. because this man right here he claims to be the best he claims to be the goat the greatest of all time and that gesture right there where he touches strokes his chin that was supposed to be a dig at messi and who best he recently was in an adidas ad campaign with

a bunch of goats and goat of course like i said refers to being the greatest of all time but it's sad to be right at the exit with the go to the proud go and the sas thing of course as well that both these players this could be their last world cup because messi thirty one yeah and when all of thirty three zero i always say i don't know why we're having we as soccer fans we should be best that we have such two great players playing at the same time and to be a life at the top moment i mean we should enjoy it instead of trying to argue who is better. who is the best in group b. because a lot of people. we're looking at this group heading into the tournament are spain and portugal really contenders for the trophy and they are there i would say they are they haven't really shown it although portugal has surprised i think most fans they're doing a lot better than expected and they were but you know what sumi a lot of these top teams favorites haven't really done as well as most people have expect that them too and spain and portugal they were even close i mean they looked

like they were neatly beaten by morocco and iran moments in the game yesterday and let's take a closer look at that it as well. portugal got off to a flying start thanks to you guessed it christiane arnaldo the real madrid superstar school be only goal of the game in the fourth minute to still three points against morocco. he tops the goal scoring charts once again with four strikes in two games. the wind sent his team top of group b. ahead of wednesday's late game a moral code crushing out of the tournament. spain needed a win to usurp the group leaders and diego costa put them on their way in the fifty fourth minute here political madrid strike is also in the hunt for the golden boot with three goals to his name already i ran for third level to score in the sixty first minute. but despite the celebrations it wasn't to be there i almost stepped in to spoil the party with

a tight but correct offside decision one nil a final score. and spain and iran also made headlines for completely different reason that's because thousands of miles away in tehran iran inside the assad the stadium that's a football stadium it it's basically it opened its doors for the first time to let women in and watch the match and women actually have been banned in iran from football stadiums for thirty seven years and the irony in this is that the stadiums name. that basically means freedom or it's something nice and there that both could come and watch the game there in iran yeah i want to ask you about germany the defending champs you know they are still working to right the ship after that stunning loss in the first round what are they doing to bounce back so germany need to they're trying to get back to basics and i think they really hoping that a bit of sun and a change in scenery will help them do that let's take

a closer look. germany hope to turn around will start here at sochi olympic stadium the black sea resort is worlds apart from the drab town outside moscow that germany called home on till now there is a likeness to everything in sochi which is just what the squad need after a difficult week. that's the crux of it you just can't train lightness i've never had a training session where you're taught lightness that's something you only get when everything works and you're well prepared to take on your opponent. that likeness has been missing from the germany squad for months now the lead players in particular have been criticised for a series of poor displays. loyalty to certain players is under scrutiny the ones bulletproof squad harmony appears fragile. critical enough to analyze the situation internally the most important thing is to come together to focus on the

future we need to win both games the pressure is extremely high but we won't win either if we start tearing into one another. the german players have one more day in sochi before facing sweden there their tactics as well as mentality need an overhaul for example the team will need to use possession better than they did against mexico. when i think of the sweden game i'm expecting a strong defensive unit that means in certain situations that we'll have to get the ball forward quickly before the opposition has time to set themselves up. but if we're too impatient and lose the ball we could be hit on the break. can germany regained their likeness in sochi. they're certainly hoping it will be a springboard to success this world cup. for germany sweden on saturday night a lima before you go after ask you about

a strange anti-climactic moment last night tell us what happened so the potential play of the day sumi turned into the blooper of the day in stoppage time one of the iranian. attempted a somersault throwing against spain watch this. change his mind and yeah basically that's a very it's not a very common tactic but it does give a player more momentum of a bit of a push and hey you know credit to him had it worked out this guy would have been the next biggest superstar the most talked about player right. here right only we're talking for do that for thank you very much. for roll out your mat and hold that pose because today marks the fourth international yoga day from ireland to bahrain australia to italy gatherings are planned to celebrate the spiritual and physical practice but nowhere are the festivities as numerous or impressive as in

india in particular a gathering gathering in the dahab are doing city led by prime minister narendra modi let's take a look. this is not your average yoga class some fifty thousand people came together for this celebration among them some of india's most prominent yoga monsters and the country's prime minister very relieved it was clear to you. then gave. your. it can share the very. big creeping ban junks and mind this anxiety. these benefits just some of those promoted by modi. he spearheaded an initiative to reclaim the discipline as an historic part of indian culture. as modi took his place at the center of this gathering

yogas reach extended across the country these policemen practicing their son salutations in the indian himalayas just one of five thousand yoga day events in india. in myanmar to and across the globe people on it are practiced credited with balancing the body mind and spirit. the word gay means to attach to join to joke and today in india and elsewhere this ancient discipline has certainly brought people together. ok we have some breaking news coming into us now of the turkish government has denied entry to a german election observer just days before the country's election. a politician from germany's left party was told today he would not be allowed to enter the country and we'll of course bring you more details on that story as they come in to

us now moving on it is a girl new zealand's prime minister just cinda ardor and has given birth to her first child amid a flurry of excitement in the country in a photo posted to our official facebook account ardern thanked her well wishers and said she and her new daughter were doing well she's just a second elected world leader to give birth while in office her deputy will run the country for the next six weeks while takes maternity leave. our minds are not our top story at this hour german chancellor angela merkel is in jordan today for talks with king abdullah merkel has hailed jordan's efforts to host more than half a million syrian refugees she's also pledged a hundred million dollar loan to support the country strained economy. thank you for what you do that view.
