iberian have you weeks jostling for a top spot in group b. spain struggled with morocco portugal based on the wrong side fighting for progression all the action straight ahead. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program thanks for joining us. europe's divide over migration policy deepens as italy's new populist interior minister makes his first trip abroad to libya in a bid to stem the flow of migrants to italian shores mattel's salvini visited tripoli on monday and has called for screening centers to process migrants in north africa even as the proposals were being discussed more than two hundred migrants were stranded in the mediterranean miles from shore and not allowed to birth in italy. stranded at sea these migrants have been stuck on the ship since there was

there after they were rescued from rubber boats off libya's coast. the german operated ship lifeline refused entry by spain and italy the ngo has won the situation on board is critical. situation it's getting worse and i would say we also. see their creation this night. and he needs surgery musically so in the last minutes he could be. seasick and we're waiting for cole porter italy's hard line interior minister matteo salvini 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. who were. sure stood the italian 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 and mature so surely the risk that we're going to see with. libya also wants to see the migrants dealt with elsewhere. how do they be. we agree with the europeans on many matters related to illegal immigration. however we can to go to kelly reject the existence of any migrant centers inside libya and the cool human. meanwhile the migrants waiting on board the lifeline can only hope they will be allowed to land somewhere soon. the n.g.o.s says they will run out of food and water in two days. and in just the past hour france has said that

a solution may be emerging for the lifeline the ship may be allowed to dock in malta with french authorities traveling there to assist the processing of more than two hundred asylum seekers on board and migration will also be discussed here in berlin today as the german chancellor angela merkel needs with the spanish prime minister petro sanchez and the european commission president john called junker the chancellor is now backing bilateral agreements with countries instead of e.u. wide refugee quotas but will that be enough to satisfy merkel's coalition partners her interior minister from the varian christian social union wants migrants to be turned back at germany's borders and he's 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 hons 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. consists of party from bavaria the christian social union the interior minister is from that 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 insisting that his day moms 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 sign of the new the bavarians 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

well 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 hard and 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 down with the losing face presumably if that is not the case they hope for the interior minister has threatened to do this on his against. because we'll 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

discussed that she has sort of scaled 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 pasta week and 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 are 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 those than his predecessor was and we don't quite know how the other countries involved are going to react to it do you debbie political correspondent hans brandt thank you. well now to the united states where the trump administration has scaled back a key element of its so-called zero tolerance immigration policy border officials say that they put a temporary halt on prosecuting parents who enter the u.s. illegally this after president trumps reversed a policy that separated migrant children from parents facing criminal charges but confusion remains over the fate of around two thousand three hundred children already separated from their families and immigrant rights activists are suing the trump administration lawyers allege the government is still using separation 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 parents 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 ice 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 ministry 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 all. 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 that nobody can see and. the government agency that contract 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. now let's get a quick check of some other stories that have been making news around the world

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 the farmers and semi nomadic herders in the central plateau state climate change and population growth are intensifying hof edition for pharma. the search for twelve boys and their soccer coach believed to be trapped by flash flooding in a cave in northern thailand enters its third day navy seal divers and underwater drones have joined the search rescuers believe that there is enough air inside the cave complex for the missing soccer team to still be alive. and british lawmakers have voted in favor of building a new runway at london's heathrow airport prominent opponent foreign secretary boris johnson missed that boat the london m.p. had previously vowed to lie down in front of bulldozers to prevent an expansion. of helena humphrey is here now and we're talking about harley davidson hitting the

road so to speak. with the iconic all-american brand which is motoring on now to pastas new 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 surprised that harley davidson of all companies would be the first to wave the white flag i felt hot for them says the president but it's unclear why trump goes on to say that the company would not have to pay tariffs all through the u.s. put import tariffs on motorcycles whiskey and a host of other u.s. products in retaliation for shops import tariffs on steel and i mean yes. we can bring in our financial correspondent now daniel is in frankfurt for us daniel companies like harley are really getting hit on two fronts aren't they because still an out of the new tariffs could hit them and then of course countries

striking back with tariffs making shipping more expensive. yeah hi there helen i can tell you that you could feel some sort of gloating here among traders on the trading floor donald trump has been saying and saying it's all about jobs and now his protective actions are even killing jobs in the united states just to put this into perspective harley davidson used to pay about six percent of tears to export their famous motorcycles to europe this went up now with the european tears to thirty one percent but that's not the only issue the company is also relying on a limb in you for their production and we have to remember that donald trump also enforced tears earlier this year on steel and aluminum all of this is now making the harley davidson motorcycles much more expensive at least two thousand two hundred u.s. dollars and for them the european market is an extremely important business in the united states was lately not anymore a big success they've already announced that they would close one of their

production facilities there so their decision makes sense and cost the u.s. president by surprise and daniel tensions over the prospect of more trade barriers between china and the u.s. have also been playing out old wall street have. yes you're right a wall street reacted to those comments about possible rules that would block firms with at least twenty five percent chinese ownership from buying companies involved in industrial significant technology all of this could be already announced by the end of this week trade for fears are the main topic on global stock markets wall street close with big losses last night shares in the dow jones industrial average are even getting closer to a possible correction territory let's have a quick look here now in the european market the ducks also went down sharply yesterday with three hundred points we have recovered a little bit but we are expecting quite some volatility here during today's trading day done for us a frankfurt daniel thank you. well the bulk of the u.s.

is concerned with china is its china twenty twenty five policy and its investment in high tech like a lecture mobility that china is determined to become wildly when it comes to ema but a team together is subsidizing call prices issuing produces with quotas among other rules including overhauling pollutants public transport now a city of shenzhen days leading the way. of light humming instead of the roar of a diesel engine in just three years all of change and sixteen thousand buses have gone electric the city's bus drivers have been retrained and there are now five thousand charging points at bus depots. a fully charged bus can travel two hundred kilometers that's about a day's driving. genting you is spearheading the changes woman up on hides out one song we can charge the bus in the evening when services have stopped

for the day. with all that's good because electricity costs less in the evening only you mean so the bus company saves money she did the reasons why electric buses cost about twice as much as diesel ones but because power is relatively cheap in china the city council says electric buses cost less in the long run it claims the local economy has benefited to. the buses or made by b.y.d. a car maker based in shenzhen b.y.d. is a global market leader when it comes to electric buses supplying cities like london and budapest. that trick bess's is just a stunt it's just a baby step but he was in the fish we didn't already we did not only want to actually fight those specimens but also want to thank you dr file of texas to try and audio that. china's government has an ambitious strategy plan when

it comes to electric mobility and the administrative regions are doing their bit two thirds of taxis have already gone away trick. you idea runs charging stations throughout the make a city which the taxi drivers use at the end of their shifts it's peak period then not everyone however is happy. to look at it because all the lawn is always in the wall it's not worth it might have to charge my car for two hours every day that's a loss of ten or twenty years of business instead of earning money i said around the play games on my phone. and that gets boring after a while. but the city's government is having none of it and says the low power prices make up for any other losses and drivers have to make sure they take regular breaks anyway. and sarah's got you while cut latest now.

the first two groups have been decided at the world cup and joining me now in the studio to discuss the latest is chris harrington from new sports welcome to you cross thank you there was a dramatic and both games and we have to talk about that first right morocco was the only side in group b. that had no chance of it dancing they came out swinging versus spain and put up quite a fight in the portugal iran match crescendo in company crescendo and although of course in company they survived a scare in avoided a major upset sarah we have all of the action in a report let's take a look in the fourteenth minute of blunder by andres iniesta and said most gifted the baltimore rocco and slotted home for his team's first goal of the tournament that moved portugal top of group b. . but in yesterday redeemed himself five minutes later teeing up disco for the

spanish equaliser by. 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 no rinaldo 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 this city ten minutes from time and spain's chances of topping the group looked over. but spain jury level in injury time thanks to jagow us plus the lines minute ruled it offside but v.a.r. confirmed it counted to all the final score portugal though still lead the group.

but karim ansari followed confronted a last gasp penalty for iran the whole point you go to a draw sending spain back to the top of group b. . so after those performances cries how do you re spain and portugal six ounces ok so portugal they face uruguay this is going to be a tall order for portugal you know it's clear that christian or not it was a major star on that side so it's going to be their true major test they did compete with spain and only had a draw during their group stages so little more difficult for portugal in company. you want to talk about a cakewalk in my opinion spain and russia is going to be a cakewalk russia yes they performed they had more exceeded expectations in terms of reaching the knockout stage but now i think they'll be brought down to reality you know even their fans are split and think that there's a little biased in terms of support and actual the likelihood that they'll advance further but i think spain will show them where they're at real and of course that

is always the big question who is going to advance for there you know we have another exciting day of football today and actually a little bit earlier i spoke with our correspondent in moscow jonathan crane and he had this to say about what's coming up. well the teams in group c. and d. will have their fates decided today let's start with group c. because one of those matches takes place in the luzhniki stadium behind me it pits france against denmark and france are already three and denmark would join them with a win or draw a defeat for the danes would open the door to australia they must beat peru to stand any chance of going through and then later in group the all eyes again will be on leno messi and argentina nothing other than a win will be for argentina against nigeria and even that might not be good enough argentina's fate is out of their own hands because if iceland gets a better when i have a croatia who have already qualified argentina. it's close it's complicated but it's are you so exciting and that was jonathan green a short while ago in moscow of course cries everyone is in it to win it so to speak

but who has the best chances do you think to make it to the next round will you know let me just focus on argentina nigeria i think everyone will be watching this mess pacifically lionel messi he's made a mess of it thus far with his side i'm looking for the i've said no nigeria is looking very strong right now they do have a history although if nigeria were to succeed this would be the first world cup victory over argentina because they've only had friendlies in their way thus far so i'm pulling for the african nation ok. thank you so much because harrington sports for breaking it all down for us we appreciate it ok. we have some more news to bring you now here in berlin a court has sentenced a teenage refugee for verbally and physically assaulting two men wearing jewish skullcaps a video of the attack went viral and sparked fears that germany could again be plagued by its worst prejudices. the court pronounced the case unequivocally as

in the old city of jerusalem a tradition take center stage here was in resolute tattoos christian pilgrims tourists and anybody else who wants to get a lasting souvenir from the holy city the place is always busy because of the four programs to come. to the program. sometimes we would choose across. another morkie flight the crucifixion of jesus or the resurrection of jesus the residents a coptic christian family from egypt have been tattooing pilgrims visiting jerusalem for more than five centuries now was took over as tattoo artist from his father a decade ago what makes this place so special are the wooden hand carved stamps that serve a stencils for the religious designs the most famous design is the jerusalem cross one version of it is believed to have been on british royalty crown prince albert

edward the future king edward the second and later also his sons when they visited jerusalem in the one nine hundred century. the diaries of the of the british kings. who has come to drusilla and did and did the cross and did the tattoos we know for sure that they had received the truth crossed or two this is the jerusalem cross this is what i would suggest for prince william to do if he is if you decide decides to do it or two this is the old block which was probably was the one that was used to do his ancestors or to go to his ancestors chances are that tattoo was done by a member of the resurrection family a very special tattoo that's something the future king of england prince william might contemplate when he visits the old city this week they residents are
