and. this is due to the news coming to you live from berlin german chancellor angela merkel hails an e.u. deal to stem the flow of lighter employers who will in the stricter european asylum strategy be enough to satisfy her hardline interior minister and save her job also on the show mexicans gear up to cast their ballots in a presidential election on sunday but the vote follows one of the deadliest electoral seasons the country has ever seen with candidates targeted for assassination. and in sports the world cup reaches its crunch phase the knockout

round the start later today with big hair such as argentina looking to have their stripes. i mounted on a good to have you with us while german chancellor angela merkel says that the agreements reached with the e.u. leaders had friday's key so missed on migration could be an elf to avert the collapse of her government merkel has faced intense pressure at home over her migration policies and was given a deadline of july first by her own coalition to overhaul the e.u.'s approach here's what she told reporters shortly after the deal was struck. his arm and the other stuff it's also if the existing agreements between the twenty eight of us are implemented together with what we've agreed upon today is that's what i would say it is more than sufficient. so do crazy acts within merkel's

own coalition agree well the deadline was imposed by her hardline interior minister harth a who for of the bavarian conservative c.s.u. party he's threatens to introduce border controls in bavaria the german states was for the brunt of migrant entries during the peak of the crisis three years ago they hope for is that two names this weekend whether what's been agrees goes far enough and the clash between the two could spell the end of miracles governing coalition. well to assess this all i'm joined now in studio by bryant thank you for joining us now do you think that this is enough to quell the rebellion in her government she certainly sounds confident that it is america's very confident and we have to remember what the interior minister and his party is in bavaria to mando it was that germany closed down its borders on its own to certain categories of migrants and knock over said she's only prepared to institute such as regime in cooperation

with our european partners and she's not brought back a call for a package from brussels which i think should actually be enough to satisfy the demands of the console from bavaria but at the moment they have not really said very clearly whether or not they're going to accept that there has been some positive comments from certain members of the leadership of their party but the interior minister holds the hole for himself and to the very end leader the prime minister and bavaria the major players in this dispute have not yet said anything they have said they want to reconsider those they want to think about this for a day or two so i think it should be enough but it's not clear whether it's going to be enough so there's some thought islands and there's a mixed reaction from the c.s.u. do you think that this move has been a no if then to avert a collapse which way the c.s.u. in the c.d.u. i think of the. and what will happen is that in the next couple of days when

various party committees on both sides of this divide within the conservative camp meet that they will have all the some sort of safe phasing formula facing formula that they will build a kind of bridge between these two camps that both sides can cross and meet in the middle as it were so i think yes once monday comes are all and maybe possibly even tomorrow on sunday already when most of these meetings will be taking place i think yes that there will be some sort of agreement in the end and both sides will say that they have been successful that they are as it were the winners of the dispute but i think the government is unlikely to collapse i'll have to wait and see and brian thank you very much for your insights. as out in america that the new e.u. asylum plan will curb migration better and tightly controlled at germany's border and despite a steep drop off in migration since its peak in twenty fifteen hardliners in the

c.s. you still want stricter rules so what controls are in place already let's take a look. crossing the german border without being checked by the border police may soon be a thing of the past if the interior minister does signs in favor of this the authorities will have to look more closely again as of monday like here at the very end border crossing into where controls have been in place since twenty fifteen when despite its size. it is the hope focus of looking to the federal police have increased border controls along this mine route. and the goal is to ensure an orderly inflow of migrants to prevent human trafficking and to help legal migrants and to offer them protection asylum in an orderly fashion. week. since the refugee crisis began three years ago the area has become strict along its borders last year alone three hundred smugglers were arrested as well as seven

hundred fifty people that were attempting illegal entrants but that's not enough for the interior minister now he wants to deport refugees that have applied for asylum in another country that's been a point of contention within the conservative parties for weeks now is. this in his register themselves in another country then that country's responsible for the person he's issued office because it's reasonable for that person to be turned back at the german border. in order to do this but very wants to build up its own state border police in addition to the federal forces one thousand extra officers are going to patrol the bavarian frontiers but these plans sound more impressive than they actually are as these new troops won't be on the ground until twenty twenty three. and some of the stories making news around the world. in mali the headquarters of an international antiterrorist forests have been

attacked in the tennis ever a official say that the tigers detonated a car bomb and exchanged gunfire with mali and troops at least three people were killed along with two attackers. canada is imposing more than ten billion dollars worth of reciprocal tariffs on us good starting july first the country's foreign minister and as the move which comes in retaliation for president the decision to stop tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from trading partners including neighboring china canada rather. well voters and mexico head to the polls this sunday to elect a new president the lead candidates left us and dressed. but our door has to take on mexico's endemic corruption and drug related violence that's not an easy challenge in a country where more than one hundred politicians have been killed in the current election campaign. millions of ballots going out across mexico through what will be

the country's largest election to date it could be a total rewrite for mexican politics but first candidates have to survive to election day. the influence of organized crime plays a role in many election rice's in recent years are a lot of politicians associated with organized crime have had to go that's forced to cut tails to openly intervene at times and they intervene not by backing candidates but by assassinating candidates they don't like. the influence of crime from both within and without has been a major concern for decades and that at least doesn't look to be changing the front runner by a big margin is on the race when you are lopez obrador from the left wing morena party he's campaigned on a strong anti corruption platform but he's also come under attack about his own conduct as the former mayor of mexico city. over those closest rival ricardo and accuses him of improperly awarding government contracts and i had

a right left coalition at thirty nine he's the youngest candidate to ever run for president he's banking on undecided voters to close the twenty point gap. mexico's national electoral institute has said it doesn't want quote differences in the election to affect the fabric of society. but given the estimated eighteen thousand government posts up for grabs on sunday society's fabric is likely to at least wrinkle. some sports news now and friday was an odd day for football fans the first in two weeks with no well called fixtures to watch today though the tournament continues with the round of sixteen half of the teams have already gone home and this weekend the knockout stage will claim its first victims titans like argentina and portugal are in action as well as surprise success stories like aleisha let's take a look at the lay of the land ahead of this weekend's. belgium

croatia as you require all still have perfect records at this tournament three games three wins croatia go into their game against denmark as favorites coaches that coach has given his side a solid structure in which stars like rich and even rockets which are no bigger than the. belgium have already got no in world cup goals against japan they know what they need to do. don't respect generations will call them respect individual names. will cope and i respect winning teams europe wide to the delight of their fans still haven't even conceded a goal but they only really looked impressive in their final group match they'll have to build on that against portugal. argentina finalist in two thousand and fourteen only just made it out of the group this time around their opponents france have to be anything but convincing so far one of these world cup heavyweights is

going to be going home. baby blue and yellow will be the colors of the tournament the swedes are delirious because the swedes with their solid grafting football have been the biggest surprise so far winning group ahead of mexico south korea and world champions germany sweden go into their clash with strips. and. of course stands to making their mark on this world cup how far can christiane over now know carry his team he scored four out of five goals maybe his rival leo messi will take his final chance to get some international sue. england side can also go far this year and he scored against colombia his performance so far five goals already has to be one rule favor igloos new slogan god save the kaye. joins me now from moscow and he's standing in front of the stadium where some of

the big games are being played and only half of the teams their eyes have the fans going home as well at this stage no certainly not they're certainly packing out moscow anyway right here where i am in the city center last night another huge party going with people from all around the world a lot of mexicans there a lot of brazilians of course by team still at the tournament a lot of belgians too not so many europeans as americans but a great atmosphere between all the people from different countries of course the hosts enjoying themselves as well with the party helps of course that we have two games in the round of sixteen phase here in moscow including the host russia taking on spain in the stadium right behind me. of course if the hosts then go out and again we could perhaps see a bit of a change in the atmosphere but i think really the football festival is definitely still going on for the time being. there being special anyway you know we've had to go a whole day with

a full. they're not case begins and there are two fantastic forward to talk to me about. well that's right i mean what a great game to kick off the knockout phase france against argentina two footballing giants two former world champions as well of course although it's also two teams that haven't really hit form at this tournament so far especially argentina they've really struggled in the group phase and they needed a late goal in their last group much to just make it through to the round of sixteen and they'll be hoping that they can get themselves together and of course that messi the absolute star can pull some magic out of the bag again like he did against nigeria france were a bit more comes when the group stage they they made it through ok but they also for the team that is possibly the best in the world on paper didn't really sparkle just a few goals scored and they of course played in the only nil nil the tournament so far so i think we'll be hoping for

a bit more from both teams are not one but it could be a real cracker. and the other matches well it is a real highlight. yeah absolutely portugal uruguay of course the european champions reliant heavily on their big star christiane i were now though school hattrick in the opening game and another one in the game after that but he will be coming up against the most stubborn defense of the tournament so far as we heard in the report there. yet to concede that the only team yet to concede at the tournament so it will be a tough nut to crack for christiane or now though and his opposite number should we say luis suarez and the euro guy team has scored a couple of goals already at the tournament he'll definitely be a danger for the portuguese defense i think is to stubborn teams in this one but i think it will still be a good one to watch for new tools for the portuguese and fans alike a great one to watch all over me in moscow thank you. and that's it for me for now you are watching ditto the news coming to you live from berlin that we
