remains stranded in the mediterranean miles from shore and not allowed to birth in italy the german operated rescue ship lifeline on board more than two hundred migrants plucked from rubber boats off the coast of libya last thursday refused entry by multi spain and italy the vessel and its passengers are now stuck in international waters. it's a nice hard line interior minister selvi nee wants to cut off the flow of migrants before they even put to sea he's been in libya calling for reception centers to screen arrivals in neighboring chad and sudan they were. sure stood there let me assure you turn your government will support the need to protect the external borders south of libya because libya and italy alone cannot sustain the economic and social costs of this immigration images are surely the risk that we're going to

see with. libya also wants to see the microphone step with someone else. to do that if. we agree with the europeans on many matters related to illegal immigration. however we categorically reject the existence of any migrant centers inside libya and they're cool they're human meanwhile the migrants waiting in the heat onboard the lifeline can only hope they will be allowed to land somewhere soon a group of european politicians visited the ship on sunday promising to do all they can. to nobody you know you know but if you have been all along after being out there you would see what he knows it's come to live down you must because of course . you just need. to. understand the human toll that germany was. going to. and these cries

for help that we have been seeing there they will be discussed here and berlin today as german chancellor angela merkel meets with spanish prime minister petro sanchez and european commission president juncker the chancellor is now backing bilateral agreements with countries instead of e.u. wide refugee quotas but will that be enough to satisfy their polls call. nation partners her interior minister from the very christian social union wants migrants to be turned back at germany's borders and he has given merkel a july first deadline to come up with an alternate plan. so the clock is ticking and joining us now to break it all down is to be useful it will correspondent hans bronte joins us here in the studio this morning welcome to you hans we know that merkel is going to meet with her coalition partners to discuss asylum policy a little bit later this evening how far are the sides away from an agreement at

this hour or one has to say first of all the disagreement is. consist of party from bavaria the christian social union the interior minister is from the party and he is in fact the person that has been pushing pushing that that's wholesale for who we see if the back. and he has not given any indication that he's prepared to back dahlan at the moment so while i'm glad america is insisting that he is the mom's that germany on its own reject asylum seekers that have applied for asylum elsewhere in europe and send them back from the border back of this is going to need to say she's looking for a european solution she's going to speak to her european partners germany cannot do this on her own it's so at the moment there seems to be in a sign the variants are prepared to budge on this and given that i mean given that hardline approach how high is the danger that we could see the government collapse

over this while the ironic thing is that it is actually possible it's not completely excluded even though this attack as it were comes from america's closest ally political ally but at the moment the situation is so harsh vardhan so harsh on both sides there is no sign of the bavarians actually giving in on this at the moment what they have said is that if. america finds a solution a european solution that is equivalent to what they are demanding then they will prepare to back dong with losing face presumably if that is not the case as they hope for the interior minister has threatened to do this on his against medicals will if he does that she would have to throw him out of the government and that would probably lead to the collapse of the entire government let's talk a little bit more about the solution that angela merkel is trying to find at this hour because we know for example you know that european wide solution that you discuss that she has sort of scaled back back a bit now she's talking about

a bilateral approach with various different nations later today as she meets with the new spanish prime minister is he likely to back her policy we don't quite know yet he has been saying after this mini summit that we had the pos weekend he has been saying that he is in support of a european solution but that's a very general statement he's at least prepared to talk about all those areas a large number of other countries especially in the east of europe i'm not prepared even to talk about those so there is a chance that some sort of agreement may be followed with a kind of coalition of the willing as marco i think has been calling it and spain might well be included spain obviously being a country in the south of europe on the mediterranean coast also is feeling the pressure of migration quite a lot more strongly than many of the countries in the north so i think the spanish new socialist prime minister is someone who is possibly more prepared to agree to something like this than his predecessor was and we don't quite know how the other

countries involved are going to react to it political correspondent hans brandt thank you. it's let's turn to some other news now and in the united states confusion remains over the fate of thousands of migrant children held in detention centers after being separated from their parents it's been less than a week since president donald trump reversed a policy of separating migrant families at the border now immigration rights activists in seattle are suing the federal government other states have also announced plans to do the same lawyers allege that the government is using family separations as a tool against asylum seekers. they were taken away from their families at the border. now some lawyers say the u.s. government is preying on their parent's desperation to see them again. many of them had been kidnapped raped tortured but again they said over and over that that paled in comparison to the pain and desperation that they felt being separated from their

children as a result many of them were really considering signing voluntary departure as and really starting the deportation process so that they could get out of detention as soon as possible and they had been told by agents that if they signed a voluntary departure that ice would be unite them with their children as quickly as possible for us we heard that consistently and over over and over again to the point that we really feel that the administration is holding these children hostage to dissuade people from pursuing compelling and strong asylum cases. after nationwide outrage over family separations u.s. president donald trump vowed to public pressure and announced an end to the policy but his reversal does nothing for the children still inside shelters like this one in southern california this is one of the more established shelters for migrant children here in san diego and it looks after boys between the ages of six and seventeen now it's been doing that for years for children who arrived in the united

states unaccompanied by a parent but the difference now is that it is also caring for children who were intentionally separated from their parents when they arrived in the united states as you can see behind me it is covered in fencing and green netting all the way around the perimeter to make sure that nobody can see out and then nobody can see and. the government agency that contracts this temporary shelter refused my request to go inside. but they released this footage showing children's bedrooms a medical center with painted walls and a place to play soccer critics say this is the best case scenario for detained children and that conditions elsewhere in the country are likely far worse. reuniting them with their parents will be a slow and difficult process some children might even be forced into foster care orphaned by the u.s. government. let's get a quick check now some other stories that have been making news around the world and the u.s. state of california thousands have been forced to flee from a wildfire threatening the world community so-called pawnee fire is one of four

major blazes burning in the summer heat the governor has declared a state of emergency in the area. more than eighty people have been killed in clashes over land in nigeria authorities have imposed an overnight curfew in the hope of stopping the fighting between farmers and semi-nomadic herders in the central plateau state. climate change and population growth are intensifying competition for farmlands. british lawmakers have voted in favor of building a new runway at london's heathrow airport prominent opponent foreign secretary boris johnson missed the vote the london m.p. had previously vowed to lie down in front of bulldozers to prevent any expansion. you're watching g.w. news still to come on the program spain and portugal progressed to the last sixteen in the world cup but it was a dramatic night of football in russia. but first it is over to helena humphrey who is taking a look at washington's latest hand in the trade dispute with china sara thank you

very much uncertainty surrounding that has been enough to show up on equity markets around the world with investors reacting to reports that washington is preparing to step up trade sanctions against china now with shares in the u.s. fooling u.s. treasury secretary steven minucci and denied reports that the united states is targeting chinese firms in its crackdown on a foreign acquisitions of u.s. tech when it should now says that plans to impose investment restrictions will apply to all countries accused of trying to steal u.s. to acknowledge but u.s. officials are concerned about china's made in china twenty five twenty twenty five program which aims to grasp the global leadership of key high tech sectors. well with me here in the studio is a professor of economics at the free university. great to have you with us today now when it seems that the real sticking point for the united states with china is

this industrial expansion policy the china twenty twenty five policy with its rapid developments washington couching it as a national security concern is it right well everything is being wrapped now in a national can security framework we can see whether it's on the border suddenly migration becomes a national security issue also everything in trade steel aluminum imports from canada are considered a national security issue so here there is a kernel of truth in the u.s. complaints a lack of call it regulatory reciprocity but to clothe that in sort of this national security issue you know twenty thirty years down the road right now the united states and china are rivals and as rivals other countries have similar issues so i think it's more the issue of how do we coordinate to get

this regulatory reciprocity that when investors go into china that they are treated the way chinese investors expect to be treated in the united states there is a kernel of truth there is a kind of truth but just picking up on that idea of rivalry that you've just spoken about to a certain extent we're talking about phenomenal progress a plan which will allow for a lot of development of high high tech sectors is it not the case that the u.s. feels that china is threatening the wall gorda. china is growing. china is also putting its money and resources where its mouth is it is saving enormous amounts it's investing enormous amounts in the scientific engineering infrastructure of its own country viz would be the kind. of responses that we would expect to see as well instead of working around the edges talking about. the fine points of joint ventures the united states if it's seriously addressing

this issue of where the united states is a technological power would require a lot more investment at home by the u.s. so what happens now them because china is staring down the barrel of more tariffs for example from the united states but isn't that the sense as well that the u.s. needs chinese investors couldn't this hurt the u.s. economy. when ever you put up an obstacle whenever you put up a wall that hinders the movement of goods services people human capital and physical capital or financial capital you're making the economy less efficient that much is clear there are winners and losers every time an intervention comes in the real question is. is this particular measure being conducted the right way at the right time and too much is happening at the

same time on the entire trade as well as finance front on the world stage as well. as well you know the european union's also had issues with china when it comes to stand its imposed what it calls dumping tariffs have they paid off have they what where do you draw the line well drawing the line is going to be harder but what is clear is when there are asymmetries and in this especially in how foreign investment is treated how intellectual property is treated china is the odd man out and there it makes sense for an international call it coalition of the willing a coordinated effort be made and not the simple bilateral the us is not in a position by itself to get the significant kinds of changes in chinese behavior. from the free university of i appreciate your thoughts thank you you

thank. well u.s. president donald trump took to twitter to express his surprise over harley davidsons decision to move production of its motorcycles for the european market to india and brazil trump tweeted he's surprised that harley davidson of all companies would be the first to wave the white flag i fought hard for them says the president but it's unclear why trump goes on to say that the company would not have to pay tariffs after all the e.u. has put import tariffs on motorcycles whisky at a host of other u.s. products in retaliation for trump's own import tariffs on steel and mania. all right back to sara now more breaks it promises sarah actually we're heading to the u.k. now in fact tell and i because the u.k. prime minister to resign may has promised more details on britain's prost bribes that customs arrangements after an summit later this week but criticism is piling on may's government for what many call a lack of a clear vision for braggs it one of those critics the scottish first minister

nicola sturgeon in an exclusive interview with g w charlotte chiles and pill sturgeon said that the u.k. lacked a negotiating strategy on its exit from the e.u. you're here in germany meeting foreign office officials last month you ments the brics it negotiated. what is it that you would like to see from europe and european negotiators in order to protect scottish interests during this breaks the process i think of the movement the movement has to come from the u.k. so because the hold up in the negotiations as far as i can tell is because there is a lack of clarity from the u.k. and a lack of real ism from the u.k. what it's trying to achieve if we can get over that and if the negotiation becomes about something that is sensible and achievable then i think we will see things in terms of a different fees that's why i continue to argue for options that customs union

single market because you know as did his membership. of the e.u. but they do address a lot of the issues that are still we thing to be resolved from the european states voted scotland is consent and i have always recognized that the negotiation is with the u.k. government but i've asked for and by and large received a lot of understanding from europe of scotland's position and i think a willingness to help as much as possible but getting the uki into a good sensible realistic negotiating position is in everybody's interests so scotland as i'm sure you're aware voted sixty two percent against leaving the european union you yourself been quite critical of the break that process so far in fact tories made conservative parties is even said that you've been told your party has been weaponized anthrax is that right this means the pushing the independents call what would you say to that and is there sort of a you working towards a timeline for a second independence vote or firstly as for the accusations of weaponization

bricks are under made in the u.k. negotiation is. the only reason that i can see the things that i see a bit bricks and mean them sincerely and have so much frustration is because the u.k. government is making such a mess of the negotiation and it doesn't have a negotiating strategy one of the of the name and the sooner that is resolved the better in terms of scotland's future you know i support scotland being an independent country i don't think that's going to come as news to anybody i think scotland will become an independent country that's the best way to secure release in ships within the british show us but also secure relationships across europe the european single market is times the size of the uki trading market so it's important that scotland has both and also that we remain an open it would look in country but the timing of a decision on scottish independence i've also said really has to wait until we get greater clarity around the brics that process and what the relationship between the

uki. and the e.u. is going to be so real that we tend to we hopefully get some of that connoted before making any decisions about the timeline. the first two groups have been decided at the world cup and joining us to discuss here in the studio is you have his very own press harrington joining us from our sports desk welcome to craft so there was a dramatic end to both great games in group and i think we have to talk about that first right you know group be the one team morocco was the only team destined to book a flight home they face spain and they had some early magic but the two thousand and ten world cup winners spain forced to play catch up the other match portugal in iran now either one of these teams had a chance had a shot to make it out of the group stage portugal c.r. seven crescendoing all had a chance to put the game away but iran were running towards a goal of actually levelled at the end of that match let's take a look be have

a report let's take a look at the action. in the fourteenth minute of blunder by andres iniesta and said go down most gifted the baltimore rocco and colleague slotted home for his team's first goal of the tournament. that moved portugal top of group b. . but in yes to redeem himself five minutes later teeing up disco for the spanish equaliser was with the score one all spain were back on top of the group. meanwhile against iran a wonder goal from ricardo koresh put portugal ahead before the break it was the first of the tournament not scored by christiane or an aldo once again advantage portugal. ronaldo got his chance in the second half when he stepped up for a penalty but missed leaving the door open for iran. i. morocco netted another three yousef in

a city ten minutes from time and spain's chances of topping the group looked over the but spain jury level in injury time thanks to jagow us bus lines minute ruled it offside but v.a.r. confirmed it counted to all the final score portugal though still lead the group. but kareem ansari thought confronted a last gasp penalty for iran to home portugal to a draw sending spain back to the top of group b. . a move on but given these performances how do you re spain and portugal chances you know it comes out to the next opponent spain russia and i think this would be how fertility first paying to bring russia back down to reality because you know russia performed well but i don't think they can really compete with a little more difficult for portugal because they're facing uruguay uruguay is one

of the only teams and not concede a goal in the group stages though their group a wasn't so. tough it will be hard to see because portugal as we saw in the report there you know they revolve around one star because you know when all the and if he doesn't execute then that's bad news reports will so i think spain has a better shot of moving ahead i think it will be a thriller versus portugal and you're going to you mentioned that spain and russia match up and i actually get the view now from russia and we're going to head to our correspondent who has standing by there jonathan crane who has the latest from moscow and i mean the russian fans have been really fired up about this tournament jonathan what did they make of this match there and i think after all the euphoria of the two games they've been brought down through with something of a bomb but despite the loss there's still much for them to look forward to we joined a few of them at a sports bar in century more skate off tonight let's see how the knights on four which is. the.

i hate b. then we have world cup here. but no doubt that today we take in the lead but maybe tomorrow it will be between. i live. i. hope that we'll do better and maybe this time russian would. be better than you so i think it's fair that we love. the same second places like. the incentive final because we can. sell a lot of fans exuding

a lot of confidence there but jonathan this was of course if you filmed all of this before they knew about the spain match up how confident do they seem now but i think first of all there's a sense of relief that russia replaced spain next and not portugal as we source spain were hardly convincing in that draw against morocco or that you could probably say the same thing for portugal against iran whoever russia were going to play next they would start underdogs and perhaps in many ways expectations have been reset and that's probably north of bad thing because we've seen on social media some russian fans criticizing the russian t.v. commentators for being too optimistic about their side not critical enough what she meant going through russia tinted glasses as one one one family spoke to said last week russia was germany and germany was russia now we're back to normal. ok back to getting back to normal and speaking of that. because i'd just like to ask you what's coming up today we have group c. the final action of group c. in group d.

you know. i think the most interesting match to talk talk about is going to be nigeria in argentina ok that's a group c. group d. be a game and because obviously you know messi you know this could very well be lee in a mess he's filed a world cup and i've been reading the reports from the super eagles and like the view we have team coverage of all the world cup action chris harrington joining us here in the studio john crane with the latest from moscow we appreciate it. i'm with that you are up to date now on news i'm sarah kelly in berlin thank you so much for watching have a great day. for .
