surfer's funding against. the city starts july fourteenth. this is d w news a live from burning the deal revealed chancellor angela merkel secures new agreements across europe to curb migrant flows into germany but is the strictly us sign of policy a nod to appease rebels in her government and to save her job also coming up the world cup reaches its crunch face and it will be a conscious the titans outscore schools hockey team christiane are right now though
5:01 pm
battles it out with uruguay is a talisman no it's what it. might have been a home free glad he could join me it has been a make or break week for german chancellor i'm going to markland now she appears to have delivered a deal that could salvage her fractured coalition merkel has secured agreements with fourteen more you countries for the rapid return of rejected asylum seekers she's also called for migrant processing centers at germany's borders as detailed in a letter sent to coalition leaders merkel has faced a sunday deadline from a rebel faction in her government to overhaul the e.u.'s migration approach she told reporters in brussels the deal could be enough to end the standoff. well the state friendly all the very appraised the e.u.
5:02 pm
agreement saying that it was more than his conservative party expected but marcus cautioned that some of the measures were vague and that more would have to be done . what was agreed in brussels was a lot more than expected and it's definitely a step in the right direction a lot of the measures that have been agreed are things that alba varian c.s.u. policy was demanding i think the summit wouldn't have achieved as much as it did very and not pushed so hard so bavaria achieved a lot of its members and joining me now is our chief political correspondent melinda crane melinda judging by what we just heard there from marcus is that it seems that he satisfied can we now say that that conflict between the c.d.u. and the c.s.u. is resolved it's done and dusted no we certainly can't say that yet we will know more tomorrow that is when the leadership of both parties both the chancellor's christian democrats and this bavarian sister party the c.s.u.
5:03 pm
both of their leaderships will meet separately tomorrow to discuss this deal both the deal that was arrived at by the e.u. summit and also these separate bilateral deals that the chancellor arrived out with fourteen different member states and after that we will know more about whether the c s u's leader is ready to walk back his ultimatum to the chancellor basically he has been saying all along that starting monday he was prepared to use his powers and its interior minister to send migrants who were already registered in order countries of the e.u. italy greece spain back to those countries rather than let them into germany now whether he will back off from that or not we don't know yet we have heard the party leadership despite more conciliatory statements like that saying they believe that the e.u. summit agreement still leaves room for what they call national measures meaning unilateral measures that is not the chancellor's interpretation so there is
5:04 pm
definitely still room for conflict here so we're proceeding with caution we are waiting to see some more oh how high is the risk then that the government. still collapse i guess but really it's speculation is that they will find a face saving way to back down from the brinkmanship tomorrow and i think that's one of the reasons we're hearing those conciliatory statements like the ones in that in that short sound bite if you listen to what they're saying they're saying basically this was all are doing that finally we've got this movement at e.u. level and clearly that's a way to pave or they're paving the way for being able to say this agreement is ok important to remember this is all about the very in the elections this coming fall the c.s.u. is very eager to ward off gains by the far right f.t. what they've seen in recent polls is that the bavarian voters don't necessarily like the course they've been taking two thirds of the bavarian voters actually say
5:05 pm
they prefer the chancellor's approach so that's another reason i think they may have an interest in backing i mean that's a very important point let's zoom out for a minute because this is not just a story of politico survival what will this mean for the people fleeing war fighting violence it means basically that europe has got a step closer to becoming fortress europe if we look at the different aspects of the deal that was reached at the e.u. summit what it means for migrants let's say leaving africa is that if they try to come to europe by sea they may be picked up and brought back to so-called disembarkation centers in northern africa that supposedly will be run in accordance with international law but we can't be sure of that if they actually make it to europe they could be held in closed control centers on some of those peripheral in some of those peripheral countries there too we don't know about the conditions in those centers what we're looking at is a much try to europe will that stop refugees from coming probably not many of the
5:06 pm
people coming are fleeing for their lives whether they will be deterred by this new deal very much for me it's to be seen chief political correspondent melinda crane appreciate your analysis thank you. and indeed part of the e.u. migration overall goals for asylum processing centers eventually to be established in north africa that many of the countries seen as potential hosts so far want nothing to do with the proposed scent is aimed at preventing migrants from making that perilous journey across the mediterranean sea. they have been saved libya's coast guard drops people off on land after their boat over this is a daily occurrence off the coast of libya the e.u. wants to place people who have been rescued from the waters of the mediterranean in regional centers in north africa but critics say that is just outsourcing the problem and more importantly those countries where the center should be situated
5:07 pm
have yet to consent morocco has already said no we do not want to act as police the . morocco's position regarding such processing centers is clear we have never supported this method of stopping refugees and we never will. tunisia is not yet a transit country perhaps due to its smaller size but it fears it will become one if the e.u. plans are realized algeria and egypt also dismissed that you plan to date egypt has remained on the sidelines of the refugee crisis. there is no isolation nor any centers for refugees these kinds of centers in certain regions just don't exist in egypt. libya is the nexus of refugee traffic to the e.u. human smugglers take advantage of the catholic situation due to the civil war observers say it's hard to imagine libya as a reliable partner we think that what's actually going to happen in reality is that
5:08 pm
these centers will be in europe. if there are centers in north africa they need to have the agreement of the country they need to have the support of the country they need to have the highest international standards they currently don't so anything that's happening in libya is excluded for countries to participate the e.u. may need to sweeten its offer egypt for example would welcome money for its flagging economy but numerous rounds of negotiations are likely ahead before anything is decided. weeks of infighting over migration have exposed. sinn merkel's government and germany's far right opposition now wants to capitalize on the division the party currently has around fifteen percent backing in a public opinion polls a slight improvement on last year's election result but still fall behind the conservatives now as he opened his party's coltrane's this weekend alex on the ground and the lead all the other ten a t of a for doj man said macko has left the
5:09 pm
country isolated on the international stage. is the answer i mean you know wasn't right now germany is enemies with russia again because of putin's and with the americans because of trump its enemies with britain because of breck said our relationship with poland hungary italy and even austria terrible light isn't gentleman think back to the last german leader who made that many enemies and gave a speech of good luck tonight. thank heaven he but you know i don't want to make that comparison. chief political editor may had a carefully as covering the far right parties conference she joins us now good to see me clearly a very provocative comparison there why do you think galland chose to make that statement. well first of all he was saying that germany is isolated when really
5:10 pm
what we're seeing happening is the exact opposite certainly the german chancellor didn't look that terribly isolated now being able to claim that fourteen countries will stick together take migrants back also with britain and germany having agreed that even after brics that they would still work together on defense and security policy clearly going and was alluding to out of there but he didn't want to say that each word and also i got the chance to talk to him afterwards and asked him about he said what everybody knows who was meant so he wouldn't use that name as such he certainly is news stranger of commons eluding to germany's nazi past and making it seem more harmless in the past so clearly this was an attempt to attack angela merkel who's so much part of the political campaign that the a.f.p. is after all it's an anti migration but also anti german chancellor angela merkel party and he certainly researched that here clearly not backing away from those
5:11 pm
comments even reconfirming. later mikaela so put those remarks in context for us how isolated is germany now internationally. well certainly germany was isolated over trying to see a hand european e.u. wide solution to the migration issue it's interesting that i who heard the exact same sentence from alexander golan and from german chancellor merkel which basically is that the issue of migration defines the fate in the future of the european union both said that but they just both see very different partners that they want to work with whereas here clearly the if do you would rather go along the lines of a victor over and in hungary. the german approach is moving much closer well to the french one now but it certainly has been restricted now through what looks to be a compromise at the european union level what we heard from the park two meetings going on is that on issues certainly germany did given in brussels but when it
5:12 pm
comes to german chancellor angela merkel is still seen as a beacon of stability in the european union she has more friends at that summit than she thought she had before and that certainly vocally would say they support the german chancellor. chief political editor. thank you. and now to some of the other stories making news around the world the syrian army has made further gains against opposition forces in southern province state television broadcast residents in the town on the dyad purportedly celebrating after the army entered rebels in the region say peace talks with government and i russia have failed. the u.s. is examining options for withdrawing its forces stationed in germany that's according to the washington post president trump has reportedly expressed interest in the movement tensions with chancellor angela merkel according to the reports some or even all thirty five thousand u.s. troops could be transferred to the u.s.
