a chancellor merkel says there is goodwill toward finding ways to stem the flow of migrants to europe. and the goals were coming fast and furious on sunday at the world cup after england's seven goal thriller colombia full followed suit. the south americans hit three past poland knocking the european side out of the competition and boosting their hopes of reaching the knockout stages of the tournament. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program thanks so much for joining us. we begin in turkey where the election authority has named retch of type as the winner of sunday's presidential poll extending his fifteen year on power heir to one said the governing alliance led by his islamic conservative party had also secured
8:02 am
a parliamentary majority so let's take a closer look now at those results because turkey's state news agency puts erda wanted just under fifty three percent his main challenger you can see there the harm n.j. of the secular c.h.p. party the republican people's party received around thirty one percent of the vote while sela had team demarest hash of the pro kurdish h.t.t.p. has pulled in just over eight percent. now with this victory will assume sweeping new powers added to the presidency last year in a referendum that was backed by a small majority of turks of. those. one nation one flag one country the crowd chant led by one man have added one has tightened his grip on power in turkey off to winning sunday's presidential poll he thanked his supporters in ankara after the electoral commission declared his victory. goldrush noted the win this election is democracy.
8:03 am
really. our nation. the winners of this election every one of the eighty one million citizens. his supporters were overjoyed. then. we were at the capital of democracy and human rights the elections were perfect we've won a victory again i defy you but one is the best president the world can also. not celebrating as the main opposition c.h.p. party adeline's main challenger. had earlier warned of irregularities and accuse the state run news agency of manipulating the numbers in just back because what dismayed. misinformation and we're devastated. we already have no
8:04 am
freedom of opinion or civil rights if the systematic changes for the worse we're finished we should all be for country. when russia is in a new political system under which she becomes head of both state and government at one insists this will bring prosperity and stability to the country following a failed coup attempt to years ago but critics say the new system will further erode democracy in turkey. let's get more now on the selection from correspondent dorian jones who is standing by with the latest in istanbul and dorian as we just heard there this election very much being seen as part of turkey's transition from a parliamentary session to a presidential one with heir to expanding his power what is this likely to mean for the country. well it is seen is a major consolidation of president's powers he can now rule by decree which carries
8:05 am
a power of law all the ministers now are appointed by the president and are accountable to him the role of parliament is significantly diminished even the position of prime minister no longer exists and the ones control and power over turkey's top judiciary is also further confirmed with him now having a say on the the appointment of nearly all members of turkey's constitutional court court that means there are virtually no checks to his power now he has an opposition the opposition parties which have raised doubts in fact about the accuracy of the results how strong is their challenge though. while in the early following the announcement of the result there was a lot of anger because the chief challenger more i mean just had said that not all the votes have been counted in particular strongholds in the main cities there were pictures on social media of huge numbers of sacks of a purportedly on counted votes but the problem later on was that the opposition had
8:06 am
created an independent means of assessing and counting the votes and that did concur with the results given by the turkey's new main state news agency so there was really nowhere for ensuring the opposition to go i mean the electronic message sent by injure to a turkish news anchor he said the third one had won although he maintained that the election itself was very unfair. and that's of course something that probably the other big winner in terms of the opposition parties would also agree with that's the procrit issue and i just want to talk a little bit more about that for a moment because you know that their candidate who is running from jail came in third and his party will now be the second largest opposition party in parliament dorian what's behind their strong performance. well i think it's a combination of factors for sure that there was a lot of discontent in turkey's predominate kurdish southeast over this in an unprecedented military crackdown across the region and also into syria against
8:07 am
kurdish rebels that didn't play well with turkey's kurdish vote even among supporters of one who are traditionally a strong force in that region on top of that you also saw the unprecedented move by turkey's main opposition to give votes to the h.t.t.p. there was a message from the from the leader of the main opposition that they should support them because they were seen as key to diminishing the role of a k. party if they had failed not to enter parliament all those votes and the palm tree seats would have transferred one that didn't happen so they saw that as a major success on their part daryn janzen a sample thank you. well meantime in germany the vast majority of the turkish community through its weight behind president won partial results so show aired one has taken in sixty five point seven percent of votes among turks in germany a higher percentage than with in turkey itself and deserted once triumph became
8:08 am
clear his supporters took their jubilation to the streets. yeah by they count themselves among added one's most loyal supporters dozens streamed onto the streets is the results rolled in gathering in the heart of palin as the hopes of being realized over two thousand kilometers away. i'm really excited very happy i can put it into words i like the president and i support him and i know i did without that i'm a naturalized german citizen and i'm very happy for talking turkey is the winner in this election. as i had one supporters they represent the majority of turkish voters and the message is clear that also germany should recognize that he's not a dictator we have a great president and everybody should see and hear that. just a few streets away a very different picture. tempers run high as ed one opponents came
8:09 am
face to face with those who helped secure his return to power. came to a launch turkish community palin's current spec is in many ways a microcosm of turkish society with people of every political stripe living side by side and with one point four million people in germany eligible to vote it was clear they could play a key role in shaping turkey's future for the minority at one opponents the stakes couldn't have been higher with no sending to despair as the result became clear. i know what i think any hope for democracy is being extinguished it will just be a dictatorship a one man rule and. more disappointment. this time of the gathering for supporters of the pro kurdish h.t.t.p. party. these are mentioned this is not there are these people who stand by at once party and don't feel they belong in germany we should think about what has gone wrong here for people to still feel so connected to turkey. the turkish community
8:10 am
here in germany is now facing a very different turkey to the one they once knew the facts not lost on anyone supporters if they celebrate a new chapter in turkish politics. now in other news the leaders of sixteen e.u. countries have stressed their willingness to find a solution to the blocs longstanding migration debate but they ended a last minute emergency meeting in brussels on sunday without any concrete decisions a full e.u. wide summit is coming up on thursday german chancellor angela merkel is seeking a short term deal with other e.u. member states to cope with the migration crisis german chancellor angela merkel who's in brussels looking to her fellow e.u. leaders for backing on migration austria's chancellor sebastian could stake some more hardline approach but there is some common ground between merkel and french president emmanuel mccaw the era of open borders across the whole of the e.u.
8:11 am
seems to be over more and more member states are demanding more rigorous security like here on the boat gary and turkish border the leaders are united on strengthening libya's coast guard so that migrants can no longer travel to europe by sea and hardliners want to create more reception centers like this one in libya far from the borders some leaders did however voice concerns. we have our values. and every time we betray them we do damage. italian prime minister giuseppe conti once an overhaul of the so-called dublin agreement under which asylum seekers must be processed in the country they arrive italy says that will ensure a more equal distribution across the e.u. and open the door for bilateral agreements on the repatriation of migrants and that's exactly what angle of merkel once she does not want to send refugees back to
8:12 am
another each member state without that country's agreement after the talks merkel was optimistic. wherever possible of course we want to find european solutions and where this is not possible we want to bring together those who are willing and work out a common plan of action. every willing european partner strengthens merkel back home in her dispute with her conservative c.s.u. sister party at the end of this week the chancellor must be able to show them what she has achieved and with the clock ticking as we just heard there we have our correspondents max often standing by in brussels and hans branch with the very latest from berlin and max i'd like to turn to you first because these talks are over now what do you make of the outcome. well there's substance and appearance as for appearance macca try to show that she's trying to tackle the problem that she's trying to bring something home to berlin that's not up to us to judge if she really
8:13 am
made a point there in the second part is the substance and you might be surprised there's a little more to that meeting than meets the eye first of all the italians were there that's important because they are of course the country where most migrants arrive in the european union and they have a populous government that feeds off of simple solutions but they acknowledge that this is complex so this is a step in the well in the right direction if you work for the e.u. institutions and then there was a summary from the e.u. commission who led that meeting on sunday night where they outlined a couple of measures that they would like to take at the at the summit that we have at the end of the week and they all focus on what we just heard in that report external border control maybe even reception centers outside of the e.u. beefing up the whole operation with a lot more money giving more money to african countries where a lot of those migrants are coming from so it appears the path forward here is no
8:14 am
longer having a comprehensive european solution but focusing on those things where everybody can agree on and not letting the migrants come to the european union in the first place and the stakes are really high as as we heard a bit earlier hans and i'd like to talk about that with you because if chancellor merkel doesn't succeed in hammering out a european solution by the end of the week she's going to face serious trouble here in berlin with her sister party to c.s.u. what are her chances but you say. well at the moment obviously i'm going to moscow is back in berlin back in germany and there will be regular consultations with her christian democratic party today on these issues she will consult with her cabinet during the course of the week but in effect everybody in the party and michael herself have been saying we have to wait for this european union summit coming up towards the end of the week and she continues to put the emphasis on the european solution so in a sense why this week is a crucial week it's also a week of kind of wait and see of trying to arrange things push things along in the
8:15 am
background on the european level while here in germany people are kind of on tenterhooks to try and see what's what's going to happen what's going to come out of this but certainly it's a crucial week for i'm going to america and people are very very tense and on that european level max some analysts they're talking about a europe of separate nations stressing that unity seems to be at stake and that soon there could even be border controls back again what do you make of that. well to be fair we already have border controls on some borders for example between austria and germany systematically but that's beyond what you're referring to the so-called shang and system that guarantees the free movement of people in many european union countries so we already have that because of first of all migration and terrorism back then many people linked at the height of the whole crisis and we
8:16 am
have more terrorist attacks in the european union now the numbers are speak a different story migration is down from the peak and two thousand and fifteen terrorism is also down at least the terrorist attacks in the european union but still this topic is very important to many people in the us because many populist parties feed off of that but don't worry the schengen system just yet it's dear to many europeans they feel it's an achievement this free movement so we're not there yet and it's here to the chancellor as well and has i'd like to ask you how do you think that this week will go down in history is this the last days of chancellor angela merkel in office. recall it said that for certain yet but certainly there is a chance of out and not surprisingly enough surprising enough and it is a chance that it is going to be in the sr party the christian social union and bavaria that is in fact going to engineer the end of her political career and that
8:17 am
is really quite ironic i think seeing that it's not really an opposition polity at the moment the bavarians don't seem to be prepared to budge at ole unless their demands a match in some way. is likely not to be able to push through her policies and if that is the case she may have to fire her interior minister from bavaria and that would lead probably to the collapse of the government so there is a real chance that this could happen but at the moment we still have to wait and see at the moment we can say that this is in fact the case here it was broncs in berlin back home and in brussels thank you to both of you. meantime concern is building about the state of germany's economy and how and humphrey has the story thank you sara it's certainly fair to say that the german economy is facing some headwinds this year now economic research institute if i recently caught germany's twenty eighteen growth for cost one point eight percent down from
8:18 am
two point six percent i made an escalating trade skirmish between the united states and the european union. it's been a tricky year for germany twenty eighteen began with an economic growth slowdown between march and january the economy only group zero point three percent that's half the rate recorded in the previous quarter and the outlook isn't great germany is facing headwinds both at home and abroad. is dealing with a political crisis have a very in coalition partners c.s.u. have taken a tougher stance against immigration that could bring down the government and force new elections something that would in bold well with investors add to that the dispute between the u.s. and its major trade partners washington has threatened even more tariffs in retaliation to brussels new levies on american products experts say germany would be the big loser any new tariffs on vehicles would hit it more than other e.u.
8:19 am
countries. and joining me here in the studio now is dr foca tire from the association of german chambers and industry and commerce thank you very much for joining us this morning said germany the industrial powerhouse is facing increasing trade tensions is this the end of the party for the country's economy. still the domestic driving forces are performing consumption is on the rise the labor market is still going well investments are picking up but yes international activities are stumbling and it seems though that the worst is yet to come they are stumbling it's already prompted miss avies benz for example dining have both lowered their profit for costs and in the wake of those ructions from the united states how worried should they be should other companies be it's not only about copper duces it's it's the whole scope of
8:20 am
german businesses related to international activities we are really horrified about the scope of escalation when it comes to new tariffs and retaliations and so forth so that means we are heading in trade war hopefully not but it seems so to what extent is the united states to blame for this slowdown that we've already seen because i mean let's be honest the german government has also had its fumbling this year which haven't really helped growth. it's not only the usa there is a certain degree of mistrust in several governments met say after the financial market crisis that means now a decade ago that and we are up serving that there are non-tariff barriers making you have bringing noise into the into the trade activities so.
8:21 am
protectionism is on the rise and this is now the new form of escalation of what we are receiving from from from now you point to that period off to the financial crisis and indeed developed pointed out that germany's second an economic miracle is over compared to years of steady growth since the financial crisis to world war two and the you know reconstruction period there would you say that that's a fair assessment. you know we are in absolutely we are at the crossroads where to go they have to break away off the us a from multilateralism and the hope is that there are many other countries and emerging market countries including china that they believe in open markets although they do not behave like this but the hope is that that we form some form of correlation and that the usa are stepping back from the course they are now on the way and this is escalating the
8:22 am
conflict the german economy at an economic crossroads currently doctor how tired from the association of german chambers of industry and commerce great to have your analysis thank you. sunday was the highest scoring day at the world cup so far and i have here in the studio to get his very own head mccambridge joining us from our sports tests to take us through all those goals and when we're talking about goals we have to start talking about england don't play well we do this is one of those very rare occasions as an englishman we get to come on during the world cup with a smile on your face yes it was only panama but it was an incredible performance from gareth southgate side and it gives me great pleasure to introduce this one so let's take a look. england showed their dominance from the start to join stones open the scoring here and just minutes later how he came doubled the lead a sublime shot by jesse lingo made it three. before johnstone's
8:23 am
got his brace in the forty eight minutes. ahead of the break harry came in at five completing his early in the second time off. celebrates a late consolation like a winner but it was england who were victorious six one the final score their highest ever world cup win. and there were just as many goals in group a right but those games how did they pan out well yeah like you say there was indeed another seven goals in the two group games but they were very different affairs the two games japan's game against senegal was very tight very dramatic and counsel right to the end whereas there was a clear we're not in portugal potence clash with colombia very interesting stuff we know that the world cup and it's hit a crucial stage here but the final games being played in group a group b. we have actually giving us some more insight now we have our correspondents
8:24 am
standing by in moscow and her stand jonathan crane so welcome to you jonathan what do we have to look forward to today. yes as you say the final round of group games start today crunch time for many teams still left in this tournament it means we have four matches actually taking place today two from green bay and then later two from group b. they have to kick off at the same time to avoid any kind of funny business in collusion between the sides so what's at stake well in group a not too much to be honest because saudi arabia and egypt are already in the main eliminated they'll be playing for pride russia against uruguay is the one to watch a win or draw for the russians would see them through as a group win as group b. it's a lot closer and therefore a lot more complicated spain and portugal are the favorites to go through but don't discount iran if they beat portugal they will go through at the expense of cristiana rinaldo and his teammates and what
8:25 am
a story that would be jonathan we know you have been invention now for two weeks just give us a sense of what the mood has been there. i think it's fair to say the mood has changed over the last two weeks russians were always excited about hosting this tournament but that was tempered by a degree of pessimism about their national size chances but as we had a great rusher on the verge of a topping group that's been replaced by an outpouring of pride in the team as one newspaper here right we don't have to bite on nails anymore we can actually be excited about the football and i think we will lose or draw russian fans with certainly be doing that when we spoke to said he was expecting an electric atmosphere here in moscow he said moscow used to be like a village and now we have the whole world here celebrating with us he also expressed shock at how well the national side are doing he said someone must be putting them under pressure i'll leave that to your imagination as to who that might be but on that note russia don't forget it's still emerging from this state sponsored taping scandals that any positive sporting p.r.
8:26 am
will be very well they were on that note some eyebrows have been raised at some statistics that show that russian players have run further than those from any other team in this tournament the coach to show off was asked about that in his pre-match press conference yesterday he brushed off suggestions of taping and he said it was just down to motivation and motivation john just briefly before we have to go. egypt fans must be biting their nails at this hour because there's talk that one of their most popular players could be retiring why is that. yes that just reports at this stage nothing confirmed but it's been a miserable tournament for most egypt eliminated and there's been problems off the field egypt is staying in chechnya that's already caused controversy with human rights groups salah had to be dragged from bad before the tournament started to be photographed with the controversial chechen leader runs i'm off now he is said to be furious that he has been used as a propaganda tool for carol that's why he might be considering retirement ok and
8:27 am
just briefly very briefly before we go. dancing tonight. i phones oh well a beautiful explain that is a chance or i can still go through but i fancy portugal and spain to go through from group b. and europe want to talk group i will talk to you guys tomorrow to see if that was indeed true we thank you so much and mccambridge joining us here in the studio jonathan crane as we mentioned in moscow very much appreciate it. you're watching news from berlin we have more coming up at the top of the hour i'm sorry kelly thank you so much for watching.
