this is d.w. news live from berlin a new leaders reach a deal on migration but is it a breakthrough germany's anglo-american calls it a step in the right direction but european council president on all talks says the deal will be difficult to implement we'll have all the latest from brussels also coming up mexico's silent witnesses one person disappears every two hours here as the country prepares for elections thousands of families say it is time things change. also coming up no more second chances for down to the final sixteen of the
4:01 pm
soccer world cup in russia belgium beat england to take that top spot in cheek we'll bring you all the highlights of that mansion talk about all the world cup news but there are two different sports teams. and as zimbabwe prepares for historic elections next month a few of us christine one talks to farmers still grappling the legacy of former president robert mugabe. i'm sumi so misconduct good to have you with us germany has forged an agreement with greece and spain to return migrants who previously registered asylum bids in those countries the deal announced by a german government spokesman on twitter was struck on the sidelines of a major e.u. migration summit in brussels leaders worked all night to hammer out a block wide agreement to tighten the e.u.'s policy on migrants and asylum seekers european council president on altos confirmed. the key points of the main deal
4:02 pm
reached processing centers for asylum seekers will be opened within the e.u. external centers in north africa are being planned and that there will be tighter controls on the e.u. ex journal border now italy which no longer wants to be responsible for all the migrants who land on its shores had threatened to veto one earlier statement now it says it feels its demands have been met well there's been a press conference with e.u. leaders and. has been covering that for us he joins us for more hi garrick we've heard that german chancellor angela merkel has been speaking announcing that germany's reach these agreements with spain and greece on asylum seekers tell us more. of course that was the part of the good news from the americal in particular she's come as you know under friendly fire from her own coalition partner about the what so called secondary migration that is migrations from migrants who have reached europe for instance in italy in greece or in spain and then moves on words
4:03 pm
to other european countries and that is something this flow of people she and in particular her coalition partner the c.s.u. ones to stem and here she has managed to hammer out some bilateral deals with greece and spain who have said ok look we will take back these people who have moved on who have arrived in our country who have been registered in our country and in return germany for instance is willing to reunite families friends and so if a family member is still in greece and the rest of the family is already in germany then that family member could be could be called over a little faster so it's a bit in that respect it's a bit of a tradeoff all right so you're saying i cared some good news for the chancellor but at the same time the european council president donald tusk struck a more sober target tone when he spoke to the press let's listen to what he said if we go and so do a migration it's a shot too early to talk about the success. we have to reach an agreement in the
4:04 pm
repeal. but this is in fact the easiest part of that us. to go. for a new start implementing it. so why are we hearing donald tusk there speaking with such caution. i'd say the german chancellor in that respect agreed to just listen to her press conference and she said of course it all depends now to what extent we can put that into reality what we have agreed but it is a leap forward from the you that at least there is agreement on more than just strengthening xstrata borders but the two key points that have been achieved which is if you want camps or they don't want to call it camps but registration centers or hotspot whatever you call it inside europe you still have to find the countries european countries who are willing to set up these centers german chancellor said they haven't even talked about which countries willing to do that only the
4:05 pm
countries that support this idea of setting up these centers and then also the same goes for the disempower cation platforms or whatever you will call them you need the countries outside the european union who are willing to set up these camps and also you need the support of international organisations german chancellor said it's absolutely key that the un is on board when it comes to setting up the centers so implementation will be difficult kerrick that what is your take then on the summit results. exactly it is all about implementation of the end it is it is important that they have finally talked these things over we have talked since three years now about potential external cams and how they could be set up what they could look like and it is now with pressure from italy but also pressure from inside germany that things have moved forward so there is a development here and i think it is that is important seeing of the larger picture is that the migration crisis is exploited by far right populist parties and that is
4:06 pm
something the french president is focused on this is the real threat it's not a migration crisis as such the numbers are way too low but it is the fact that other parties for far right wing parties are exploiting the subject in order to gain in local elections and therefore it is important that europe now finds a viable a long standing solution for the issue of migration and i did of his garrick motus reporting from brussels for us thank you carol. and there's another stark reminder today of the dangers facing people trying to reach europe from north africa around a hundred migrants are feared dead after their boat capsized off the coast of libya authorities say the incident happened east of the capital tripoli it's not yet clear how many people were on board the vessel in total some fourteen people are understood to have been rescued. in thailand rescuers searching for a soccer team missing inside a flooded cave have lowered survival packages into
4:07 pm
a fissure in the mountain hoping they might reach them there's been no sign of the twelve boys and their coach since they entered the cave complex on saturday despite warnings it is prone to flooding nigeria is facing calls for improved road and vehicle safety after nine people were killed when an oil tanker crashed and burst into flames in lagos the fire which happened during thursday evening rush hour engulfed more than fifty vehicles it is not immediately clear what caused the crash . to the us now where a gunman has killed five people and injured two others at newspaper offices and the state of maryland police say it was a targeted attack scene within sixty seconds after the emergency call came in officials have praised the rapid response saying it may have saved lives. they went immediately into that building without a moment's hesitation and demonstrated incredible courage we are so deeply
4:08 pm
appreciative of their great work it could have been a lot worse. more than one hundred seventy people were evacuated from the building and brought to safety one reporter gave a harrowing account of what he experienced. there is nothing more terrifying than hearing multiple people get shot while you're under your desk and then he the gunman reload. the suspect has been identified as a white male in his late thirty's he was taken into custody at the scene police say he talked to the paper reportedly because he has a grudge against it's tough. president donald trump tweeted that his thoughts and prayers were the victims and their families but he later wouldn't answer when reporters asked him about the shooting robert. thank you.
4:09 pm
remember. the capital because that has been an institution in maryland for centuries today in annapolis surviving staff at the capitol worked through their grief to put out the paper. on social media many users have been expressing their shock over what happened in maryland some have also criticized president trump for repeatedly attacking the media and accusing them of spreading fake news these people say trump created a climate that could have caused this shooting one lawyer from england directly addresses the u.s. president tweeting you create a hostile environment and someone else pays the price but to a worker who's a democratic candidate for the senate from texas says thinking of the families of those killed in maryland and the news team at the capitol does that to remind us that reporters across the country are not the enemy of the people he and many others are referring to donald trump who were paid only claims at the fake news
4:10 pm
media is the enemy of the american people while others are accusing trump the capital gazette in maryland is honoring its dead colleagues by telling their story saying gerald fishman's per personality was so quiet and withdrawn that it had the brilliant mind raii wit and wicked pen that his colleagues would treasure and in many of the papers readers are showing their support like this user saying she's fighting the good fight our community is forever in your debt for your courage and your passion for what you guys too. the group stage of the world cup is over we have nic mechanic line from sports with us to wrap it all up for us so nick yesterday saw the last matches of the group play there and we saw belgium against england and belgium still looking really good surprising actually sent out there between both teams did because there was more there's less to play for they didn't want to go in the group they want to finish second but last night they were two very good to the teams.
4:11 pm
go there in his first for the country and the interesting thing is he used to play for manchester united in england at the time about making a naturalized citizen so he could play for anyone they set up the people of the f.a.a. last night he's from scratch their heads thinking had we had we just he would've been scoring for us instead of belgium i'm a bit what about a number because they've lost a bit of momentum and they've arrested the starting line up in the last time they did that was two years ago the euros and they went on to boost iceland in the next round so it doesn't bode well but there's no iceland so it couldn't it was going to happen this time around well there's certainly a lot to play for a group and if you look at colombia yesterday it looks like they got things back on track absolutely yeah they started to win with a defeat against japan but one next game against poland last night they want to get the only goal in that game coming from gary mina in the seventy fourth minute and it meant that colombia won the group the tougher thing though is actually for senegal who were the losers in this particular game they were the last african team who could have qualified for the last sixteen and because of the way this game
4:12 pm
ended they were the messi of the fi fair play rule and of course japan who play the same time yeah let's talk about that japan game there's some controversy there against poland so poland won their first game atonement is a good thing but you knew that if results went away they would advance the last sixteen so the situation here is that beginning with the goal for poland young bednar it's going that only go in the fifty ninth minute quite a nice header. this is his first goal for the country but after we have this scene we're seeing here as they have a myth. it wasn't a shot of the head of the japan players hit just part of the hold on the back and the reason why they were doing that is because they were trying not to lose the ball to concede a goal because they were in the same number of points number of goals scored as. senegal but they had to be less yellow cards so this fair play rule means that if everyone's equal then the yellow cards counts because japan had less they went through and that means as you said senegal is going home and that means there is no african teams going to the next stage of the tournament why is that exactly i mean
4:13 pm
that's the west because the african teams west performance in one nine hundred eighty two and we've seen some decent displays of the last years cameroon one nine hundred ninety senegal two thousand and two gone and two thousand and ten who has made it the semifinal in the reason why these teams aren't making any further in my opinion just chances they're not given the chance if you put into perspective africa their fifty five african countries you could in theory qualify for the world cup but only five qualifying spaces the way from the hand also fifty five countries get thirteen fourteen if you include russia who are the host this time around or the south americans or ten south american countries who can qualify for the world cup four and a half places going there so it's just there's no equilibrium african teams have a very small chance of actually going to the world cup it's all and then they're in groups against pretty big teams and they just don't have the opportunity to advance the same way as teams from europe south america to the right they're not the only ones or sixteen teams now going home who we missed the most probably panama even though they lost six want to get sing them just the way they celebrated scoring a goal being at the world cup it is incredible to see and it was so nice to see
4:14 pm
a team gets the world cup for the very first time just enjoy what it is right will definitely a lot to look forward to in the knockout stages nic mechanic line from good news for thanks very much well today is a rest day for the remaining world cup teams before the next crucial knockout phase begins on saturday so how is russia handling the world's biggest football festival it's the halfway mark so let's take stock. there's everything from russian folk music. and dance a multi-cultural festival to delight the eyes and ears of thirsty football fans no matter which team is winning or losing on the pitch. went to take a look if you want to know what the mood is like at the halfway point of the gold cup here and also you have to come here to nicole's castrates in the heart of moscow because so much is going on here this is why the party is.
4:15 pm
owners have issued a drastic warning be surprised could be running low but even after two weeks of them a brand new others have been completely refurbished. it is well the couple is a matter of great prestige for russia. it's an opportunity for us to show our country in a new large way different from our image in the west everything in russia has been meticulously prepared. for. fifteen thousand volunteers have been recruited to help the fans from all around the world extra english lessons have been laid on to counter the cliché that russians can't speak any other languages thank you very day that might get us out of the most important thing is smile so this every this is a feels welcome. to smile when we aren't you and we keep smiling.
4:16 pm
at the. good. it all feels very positive but many are asking what will happen in russia after the final whistle blows. over a charter towards russia will be what it has always been an all thora tarion state reactionary and listless the full. all will be quickly forgotten and sold through internationally putin may not be seen as sore isolated for that but that doesn't take anything away from the importance of the world cup. over the next two weeks the world will be watching as the fans party on in celebration of the world's biggest sporting extract. let's bring in our moscow correspondent yury rich shadow for more on this hi yuriy so the world cup has brought a positive atmosphere to russia will it also bring lasting change
4:17 pm
well i think this world cup is definitely changing russia at least temporarily and this is the more the most important work for four weeks it even goes further than that it's turning the country completely upside to down things that seemed impossible forbidden to be suddenly allowed you can walk in the evening with a beer through the city you can celebrate the loudly you can be fried in your feelings and even the russian policeman who usually look at you greenlee seem to be more approachable and then usually and of course that's all thanks to the thousands of fans from other countries who are currently traveling in russia and celebrating together with the russian fans of this world cup so you're a from what you've seen what has surprised you the most with the country hosting this event. well moscow where i live has always been a very special city where people off friendly are more tolerant and three year than in the rest of the country and of course i know that the most russians are very fond of meeting for in the us and welcoming other cultures as well but i never
4:18 pm
thought suit me that spark over delight if you want to pass on to the russians so quickly from the times mexicans brazilians and others and infect everyone with the joy would also surprise me it was an enormous wave of sympathy toward to the german team i have lost count of the number of times i was asked in the last few days what's up with the german footballers germany is still very popular here in russia and to the german team used to be also very liked to better they are now not here anymore too bad indeed you're a so that's in moscow eleven cities though are hosting these games has a world cup fever had them as well well i think you can feel the very special very festive mood all over the country even though russia isn't a football nation compared to spain for example as studies say that only twenty percent of russians are football fans in the spain thinks if he is eighty five percent of the population so much higher but this world cup is more than football
4:19 pm
first the enthusiasm rises and falls everywhere with the performance of the national team and eve they play surprisingly well the joy become boundless the russian team has been a sensational a good for russia so far that makes people happy here everywhere and the second is that the russians are of course very happy with that this world cup hasn't to be and ignore it and that they are not isolated in this country it's not just president putin and this state be the ship about the millions of ordinary people who are happy when guests come come from all over the belt as you said it's gone off really well in russia and sports is also all politics there were calls even to boycott this event before it started tell us what this is meant then for vladimir putin the russian president. well looks to me of course this is also a huge success for a lot of new putin because he can show that a firstly he is not isolated and secondly that he can mask the big challenges like the world cup but that to must to obscure the fact that any criticism for example
4:20 pm
is completely restricted to during the tournament. then de facto british and off protests applies in all eleven cities of the world cup and many are wondering how long this summer dress twenty eighteen will go in russia what comes after the world cup do the smiles disappear from the faces of the police. exuberant mood of the streets disappear and who will russia be again what it was before from many critics and the thought of terry and state that doesn't tolerate critical thinking people and state that it has to close its hospitals because there are no drugs and stayed in the region many elderly people hardly survive because their pensions are so small in the state finally that the surprise is more and more with an increase in greece really aggressive foreign policy which is supported by state propaganda directed at me as you're a shadow for us from moscow thank you yuri mexico heads to the polls this sunday to
4:21 pm
select the next president voters will be casting their ballots across the country and beyond thanks to recent reforms more ex-pats will vote in the election than ever before and that gives a large number of u.s. based mexicans a powerful voice as washington correspondent claire richardson reports. with the world cup to win and an election coming up it's been a big week for mexico. while mexicans everywhere cheer on their national team those living in the united states will have more power than ever before at the ballot box . almost ten percent of the country's population made here. close to twelve million mexicans live in the united states and for the first time in mexico is allowing them to register to vote from here without having to return home but are people taking advantage of the new rules is a vote this and if i get here and i understand the c. and s.
4:22 pm
and me the papers and how to like fill it up and send them back it's my fault i didn't do it and i got to feel very bad about it yes my friends told me like you can't do you more. razor but i never did it because i have a lot of things to do so i could end the actions are they send they but i vote like one month ago so here even though they make up a small fraction of all registered voters the number of mexicans casting their ballots from abroad is expected to hit a record high this year thanks in part to the lifted restrictions a poll released last month by the firm latino decisions shows most years support the discussion are on the best manuel lopez obrador and with his commanding lead in the polls and many of their ballots already saying there's likely just one thing to worry about. meanwhile in mexico itself the election campaign has been overshadowed by violence
4:23 pm
a stunning one hundred thirty local candidates have been killed in the run up to sunday's vote the country has long been racked by violence linked to gang warfare and drugs more than twenty five thousand people were murdered last year and tens of thousands more are missing many of the victims have been missing for years amid allegations of widespread corruption we met with one family struggling with loss. we will never stop looking for you. that's margarita's message for her brother while though she hasn't seen for almost four years and whose whereabouts are unknown are. not a good night of it or even very i still don't understand. not that i can't accept it the day you are there for me tomorrow i believe that he will come back any time and will say that i'm hearing what are you doing why are you looking for me and i must hear. what their members going to see see your kids. with their
4:24 pm
sister susanna and her brother in law margarita has come to a monument in mexico city that has been dedicated to victims of violence the shaba sisters salem while there was executed by a local policeman his case is one of over thirty four thousand disappearances in mexico i mean we had a man or me or my my brother disappeared on december twenty second in two thousand and fourteen it was in the wake of such a had a problem with a local police officer and sued out quoting all can one see by this is that what they move it is written to him with death on the phone telling him he was going to disappear on the limb one of them was in the believe others about is there and that's what happened see. the most it was the government's noise the policeman was never called to testify but he went missing to his corpse was later found in. the city will run wild all had gone missing i look at what that was executed by an armed condo on may fifteenth two thousand and seventeen in the center of ciudad
4:25 pm
wate mark in the center of this is that what was it with the equalness and since then our hopes of finding my brother this one this job and this is the last picture on waldo took on his phone says on his gather all possible evidence on her brother's case after authorities did little to investigate. she shows us the file she's been creating with the documents provided by a human rights organization that is helping her but they are from the prosecutor's office in. a city in the northern state of chihuahua where i'm waldo had moved to work in a mine. i want to make it clear that we disagree with the prosecutor's office because they say room well don't just got lost. we know it was a forced disappearance. but it's awful to people that it is estimated that one person disappears every two hours in mexico but less than ten percent of cases are solved. activists see the authorities often have little
4:26 pm
incentive to investigate. those guys was a bit of sincerity in cases of human rights violations where the army or the federal police is involved they would have to investigate themselves. the case of the thought in three missing students where the army and the prosecutor's office is involved why do we think they would want to do it a big some let's go get get reality check i believe that if we are able to separate the fantasy a bit we know they are not capable of doing it. but the drum while those family has not lost hope as a sister wrote in the monument to mexico's missing their search will never end. you're watching news still to come on the program the european union has agreed on a new migration deal but what does it mean for migrants already living in the e.u. we have to greece where some have spent more than two years in camps. a new era for
4:27 pm

or being neutral it's about being truthful. funding is more involved and. climate change. waste. pollution. i mean isn't it time for good news. africa people have projects that are changing are ones are meant for the better it's up to us to make a difference let's inspiring others. to let it go environment magazine. on d w. welcome back you're watching news our top story at this hour a leaders have reached a deal on migration after marathon talks in brussels german chancellor angela merkel called the agreement a step in the right direction but here the council president sounded
4:30 pm
a note of caution saying it would be difficult to implement. so what could this deal mean for the migrants already in the e.u. since europe began cracking down after the height of the refugee crisis in two thousand and fifteen thousands have been trapped in greece some have been in camps for more than two years and able to move on dude i spoke to several fear their hopes of a new life could be dashed forever. log of e.q. is not a place many people in europe know of it's a small village in northern greece eight hundred refugees are housed in a camp here that is twice as many as the camp was conceived for. this is due to more refugees coming to europe via turkey despite the refugee deal between turkey and the e.u. eight thousand people crossed into europe in the first half of twenty seventeen in the first half of this year that number has risen to twelve thousand and the current discourse in europe regarding refugees is unsettling for those sheltered
4:31 pm
here like being in greece for two years before i came here i was in last boss our future is being stolen from us with all this going on in europe. that i could increase to one and a half years but what's going to happen with all this no one knows. just down from the refugee camp is the village of lot of e.q. with only six hundred citizens it is smaller than the camp many residents can relate to the situation facing refugees they are the descendants of people who were forced to leave pantos in what is now the eastern black sea region of turkey. nevertheless there is a lot of sympathy for the rise of right wing parties in modern europe. i understand why people would look to right wing parties francis they want fewer refugees the gist of it is. but it have a problem with right wing extremist parties getting elected elsewhere i'm just concerned about what happens in greece over the snow. and what about their
4:32 pm
neighbors the refugees. as the weeks in the camp turn into months or even years are they where the political developments in the e.u. are making it harder for them to leave here. and. we definitely do not want to travel a legally into another country like we did in iran and then get to greece i was hoping at some point the borders would open for us but now it's looking like just the opposite to me just a bit i want you to look at after crossing deserts and oceans of the refugees a lot of e.q. could end up getting stuck here if the political winds in europe continue to blow in their current direction. and we can speak to you when you see he's the regional director of the international organization for migration office for the e.u. on norway and switzerland do you have your thank you for joining us what is your perspective on this new european agreement is it a coherent migration plan for the e.u.
4:33 pm
i think it is to a large extent it is in fact the enforcement of a series of measure of the already been taken or are being implemented and also the introduction of a few new aspects to be can see there the in terms of both the support to disembarkation and to of search and rescue operation in the mediterranean and also cooperation with the with their company i think there are some aspect that still needs to be considered right now the focus is very much own producing irregular arrival but as the report that you just showed clearly indicated we have also an issue of we deal with the people that are already in europe and i think much more needs to be done both in terms of active measure for integration of those who have reached european country already and out of legally staying in utero there are different protections status but also start looking for two needs for legal
4:34 pm
migration for those that are trying to reach the european continent not for protection but for economic or other reason one of the person you interviewed said we don't want to move irregularly but we don't find board that open and therefore we don't know exactly what to do well i think it's important to start also considering those aspect i do want to return to this point on that document of migration because before this meeting you called on the e.u. to come up with a new plan to stop the drownings in the mediterranean do you think there's been an agreement on that from what you have seen. when from what we have seen so far and of course we will need to see exactly the conclusion will be amended in practical terms these are overall guidance that member states agree on but from what we have seen very fauresmith of the basic principle that saving life is a priority. therefore once that happen december cation should take place
4:35 pm
rapidly based on international law and the money time law indeed i think are important element to be reinforced and that is also a call for increased cooperation with all countries that are looking on to the mediterranean on both shores so i think there are some steps forward in that direction and i think is important saving life remains the top priority for european country and for any other country that is concerned with what's happening in the mediterranean sea but what about these centers that could be taken that could be hosted outside of the e.u. which countries do you see as both willing and able to host such facilities. well i think that is the element that these more complex to implement right now we don't have any indication that there are country outside of the european union of the willing to hold such center i think also we need to exactly understand what it
4:36 pm
means. to have these type of center some country in north africa notably tunisia he's already responsible for the search and rescue area and so it's sort of the rescuing the people and bringing in bringing them back to the tunisian shore so that is already happening within be anything new but if we are looking or if the e.u. is looking at something else or something more in terms of holding centers will that right now doesn't seem to be an option for any of the country outside of the e.u. the not a concern and also the decision would have to be taken in the definition would need to be reached as to what's the purpose of the center if they are external processing center then you won't be able to have a lot of doubts about their efficiency and the appropriateness of such center ok many details still remain to be cleared up. the from the i.o.m. thank you so much for joining us on our program thank you. time to head
4:37 pm
for to ben with business that we're going to go into a weekend on a good note been for financial markets that we haven't had this for a while his sumi the weather is good as well world stocks enjoying a relief rally this friday both in europe and asia but currency markets tell another story as those trade tensions refuse to go away the specter of a full blown frayed war has already frightened the chinese you one but this month was even scarier a three percent drop against the u.s. dollar investors pulling their money from a market likely to suffer from higher barriers to trade have been speculation china could move to devalue its currencies cook to compensate the tariff hikes however analysts today say there were no signs of a concerted effort to do so. so legitimate jitters for the uighurs on and despite today's rebound for global equities it got a lot of catching up to do the trade war is what one point seven five trillion dollars of the value of stocks since june twelve that's a lot of money let's pull in frank kish from the university of single and he
4:38 pm
specializes in how companies can defend themselves in a trade dispute. first of all protectionism and stealing tech there the main gripes about the chinese beijing rebutted those claims yesterday and someone located in neutral switzerland who's playing fair here. so when we look at the chinese. if the question is whether they're protectionist or not well the answer to that should still be yes not so much in the realm of international trade where everything is quite liberal in terms of stance but in fact in terms of domestic policies we call that industrial policies and that china still provides a lot of advantages to their own businesses so they are protectionist in your view are they also stealing tech i mean companies tell me the chinese play europeans and americans off each other to get the lowest price the bidders thinking no raise it
4:39 pm
for the next order but there is no next door to the chinese copy the take and make it themselves does that still hold true. so this is the typical strategy is strategy in the last few years has actually been that companies chinese companies buy up corporations in in other countries like in the you in the u.s. they fund startups through venture capital so that they get direct control over technology and this is this is nowadays there their main strategy ok but tell me the tariff strategy of trumps to stop these sorts of practices the stealing of tech and the protectionism as well is is it going to even make a difference. it is very difficult to say whether that it makes a difference in the in the short run i think it is the only thing it does really is
4:40 pm
put pressure on two companies in the u.s. especially the types of manufacturers who produce with steel using steel like harley davidson which is the last prominent case here so i don't think in the even in the short run it has any positive effects on china ok so you reckon it can backfire on the u.s. and to talk about harley davidson what do you think about its reaction to this pushing its production out of the us all rather increasing its production at other locations around the world it's one of these multinationals that has facilities all over the world and is able to do that is that the way to go. that's correct that is the way to go for most multinationals who like harley davidson as you said already have production facilities in other countries that are not subject to for example the european terrorists other multinationals have
4:41 pm
