a contest says he has secured concessions after a phone call with a german chancellor angela merkel. our correspondent on that european affairs not simon young hundreds things are welcome to you both let's start with you barbara vital in brussels is it me or is it weird to have a disagreement over a draft closing text of a meeting that hasn't happened yet i know there are often disagreements but usually what happens is that they are weeks even months beforehand that these draft agreements are sort of pushed together and found lines of consensus this time obviously somebody in the council sat down just wrote something up put it on the table and said ok this is it and it's only when they read yesterday that there is a passage in it that says all refugees and migrants have to be immediately pushed back to the country where they first came into the european union that means italy
5:03 pm
in most cases sometimes greece maybe the italian government of course sort of was of was up on the palm tree and protesting immediately and saying no what are they doing we would never agree to this we can't do this like that so there was a big hoo ha and a contra started threatening not to appear then there was a phone call as you mentioned of i'm going to america to him saying this is just an idea the things we need to talk about and so on it's a force they was drew part of this agreement and so the rains and of course countable come on sunday because he has his interests the interests of his country to defend simon young girl and clearly this is a major issue for a chance but merkel at the moment choosing jordan a country whose population is at the moment about two thirds. migrants looking for tips. does she said today germany must be open country so she's sticking to her guns and her with a horse a horse for her interior minister is not going to fund the flames further.
5:04 pm
well is she sticking to her guns yes she is she's she's not likely to be making policy on the hoof when she's on a trip to the middle east and of course of course going to jordan and lebanon part of her objective there is to draw attention to the causes of migration to europe the war in syria has obviously been a major point so she's drawing attention to the humanitarian problems that countries like jordan face if if for seo for is listening to her saying that germany must remain an open country then you know that might be seen as some sort of further point in the argument but it isn't anything new and indeed the mainstream opinion in germany generally is that there must be the possibility for people to seek refuge in germany if they have real need the this dispute is about

getting control of the numbers and having some kind of control over the process that works for all of the e.u. barbara vessel in brussels so while nominally pro migration a human they should probe more or less squabble about a meeting that's happening on sunday and anti migration blocs things to be coalescing and they're getting together today in budapest. what we're really seeing at the moment is sort of a wave of european populous parties getting together and sort of that's the impression you get forming up and ganging up against america and they have started to make increasing noise we heard yesterday the varian. first minister to meet was the austrian chancellor we seen a meeting and roam off the populist parties there was material so vini we're seeing divisions right group today who has always and now for several years been violently
5:06 pm
in strongly against migration of any sort and we see that the front against america is really quite strong political kelly the question is whether she can manage on sunday to begin with forming a consensus on a few crucial issues and just sort of forging a way forward and finding the european solution that she insists on is the only way forward because by a literal contracts bilateral agreements between countries are not going to get us anywhere and the idea of the push back to italy i mean that that struggle and that major disagreement is just really one point and she knows that that is not the way forward and other solutions have to be found and the question is whether europe the european union and her partners will have the patience to search for them sort of bring the young father question to you short answer to a question if you go by how likely with all this going on is chancellor merkel to
5:07 pm
bring home a deal will save her job. well looks tough doesn't it i mean we've got the the east european countries poland and hungary and the other visigoth countries already saying they're not coming to this summit they're not interested in talking head of the fall some at the end of next week and there's a lot of opposition to the various ideas on the table so it's going to be very difficult for merkel to get that comprehensive agreement and that's really what she needs so i mean young barbara faisal in brussels occupies all the talk was a signature u.s. president donald trump had previously insisted he was powerless to stop the separation of immigrant families at the country's southern border but then he issued an executive order reversing the policy this means families entering the u.s. illegally will now be detained together it's a rare policy victory for president trump and follow days of public outrage that
5:08 pm
have a lot of happy people it was that easy president effectively reversing a policy that has separated children from their parents but the executive order does nothing to reunite more than two thousand children who have already been taken away families who illegally cross the border will now be detained together while their cases are considered but trumps order cooled for changing a court ruling that limits the detention of immigrant children to twenty days critics now say trump is replacing separations with indefinite family detention. as the numbers of detain children grew in recent weeks so did the waves of opposition polls showed the majority of americans opposed the separations protests took place in dozens of cities across america and in congress. let's go back to a time a steady and decency in america when children will respect it love the children mr
