this is the w. news live from berlin chancellor on the american secures new agreements across europe to curb migrant flows into germany but is the stricter e.u. asylum policy enough to appease rebels and hard government and save her job. also coming up mexicans go to the polls on sunday to elect a new president and congress the presidential frontrunner promises to tackle widespread corruption violence and to do more to reduce poverty. and with the first knockout round under way the twenty thousand world cup and russia oracle i

took on portugal in the second of the days the last sixteen matches two goals from edinson cavani were enough to see all christiane over and all those sighed and said more of what enjoy the quarterfinals will bring you all the gold. welcome to the program i married. it's been a make or break week for german chancellor angela merkel and now she appears to have delivered a deal that could avoid the breakup of her coalition a letter to her coalition partners reveals that she has secured agreements with a further fourteen countries for the return of asylum seekers she's also called for migrant processing centers at germany's border as the various state premier has welcomed the deals and has c.s.u. party is meeting on sunday to decide whether to accept the concessions that merkel

secured in brussels a minor parties regional convention usually arouses little international attention but times are different since the dispute over migration policy threatened to divide the c.d.u. from the bavarian sister party the c.s.u. the bavarian state premier gave an indication of how his party might respond to the compromise reached by e.u. leaders in brussels a week to go should india have to go it's a step in the right direction some things remain very unclear and have to be expanded our european partners have explicitly agreed that they must also be supporting national measures that means it's been decided that now we in germany must also take action. but the center left social democrats insists there are some issues they would certainly not accept most of these i would like to make it clear once again that unilateral actions and the rejection of refugees at the border are off the table in

a lesser merkel informs her coalition partners about the results of the e.u. summit it said the chancellor had secured agreements with fourteen countries for the rapid return of asylum seekers already registered in those countries such a deal already exists with greece and spain but there's no deal in sight with italy one of the main transit countries and the czech republic and hungary deny any involvement in the agreement it's still unclear how quickly the situation will change for migrants seeking refuge in europe. and let's get some analysis now for that i'm joined in the studio by our chief political correspondent melinda crane melinda so from what we heard in that report some conciliatory words from one of the c.s.u. leaders that this mean the dispute between the c.s.u. and chancellor merkel is now resolved no we can't say that and we won't know for sure i think until tomorrow when the leadership of both parties will be meeting to look at what was agreed last week and decide sensually on the part of the varying

conservatives whether it is enough for them to essentially back down the main sticking point here still remains this question of unilateral action as mentioned in the report so as you remember the conflict began because the head of the very conservative party who was also germany's interior minister had essentially said that he believes germany can and must go it alone to turn back refugees who were already registered in another european union member country normally the countries on the periphery of the e.u. the southern border like greece like spain like italy and send back to those countries now despite the conciliatory tone that we heard in that report we are hearing c.s.u. leaders saying that they believe that this summit agreement allows them nonetheless to still proceed unilaterally the chancellor definitely doesn't see it that way if

i look at the agreement the wording of what was agreed on by the e.u. leaders i don't see it that way either and i don't see her backing down on that point all right so perhaps some vague language in the declarations or the agreement from the chancellor different people understanding it in different ways so is there still a risk that the government could collapse over there is there absolutely is a risk if in fact mr say hope for the interior minister were to move forward on his threat. and say well we are going to act unilaterally after all i think the chancellor really would have no choice but to fire him for insubordination that would set in motion a cascade of events that essentially could explode her coalition and lead to her term as chancellor and but my prediction and it really is mostly speculation at this point is that both sides will look for a face saving way to deescalate i think that's what this conciliatory language from the c.s.u. means we've heard them saying hey we paved the way for the movement that happened

this week at the summit and why are they now deescalating well for the same reason that they started this conflict in the first place domestic politics they are looking toward a very important but very unstable action in the fall worried about the gains by the right wing wanting to look tough on immigration but it turns out voters who were polled recently don't like the way they're going about it and actually two thirds support the chancellor's approach right so we say with a stake of domestic politics also the chancellor is a future perhaps that we mustn't forget this is about human beings these migrants are coming from places where there is war there's all kinds of violent conflicts what does do these new rules of migration actually mean for the people significantly higher obstacles for people who are trying to enter the european union there is no question this is the first step toward tightening europe's borders fortress europe is what many people are calling it that means if you even

make it to see as a migrant you well might be sent back to a so-called disembarkation camp in northern africa it is not clear whether international law will really be enforced in these centers the e.u. leaders are claiming it will but right now the centers that do exist in northern africa have been condemned as has very very difficult places for migrants if you do make it to the shores of europe you might wind up in a so-called can. center an anchor center a holding place that would be closed also a very difficult hurdle would stuff refugees from coming probably not all of them many are fleeing for their lives melinda crane our chief political correspondent many thanks indeed for all your insights well mexico is gearing up for presidential and parliamentary elections on sunday following a campaign that's been marred by violence dozens of candidates running for office have been killed by the country's powerful drug cartels most polls show

a more than twenty percent lead for a leftist candidate on the list manuel lopez obrador the former mayor of mexico city has vowed to end the violence and tackle and demick corruption his nearest rival is this man ricardo a niam who leads a left right coalition of parties. and he's only a correspondent ophelia harms our rooty is in mexico city and she joins us now for the latest so ophelia there have been these reports of some people being too scared to go out and vote because of all the violence just what sort of turnout is expected. well yes there is fear in some states that are very. filled with criminals which is colima get out on behind where people think that maybe criminal organizations might be disrupting the electoral process but this is actually expected to be a historic turnout with about sixty five percent of the electorate going to the

polls on sunday and it will be historic because mexicans are fed up with the corruption and violence in this country and because the traditional party that has ruled mexico so far have not been able to fight this problem and that is why we might be seeing a leftist candidate becoming mexico's next president for the first time but is also going to be historic but because it is going to be the first time mexicans vote for so many political position it's not only president but they are renewing their congress and many other local offices all right so voters not to turned by violence but what about violence against the candidates themselves apparently dozens have been killed in the run up to the poll was behind that violence well behind that violence are brutal drug cartels and other criminal organizations all over the country which i have killed one hundred thirty one politicians since the campaign started in september and this has worsened we have seen this before but it

has never been so transversal with all political parties and that is because drug cartels and organizations have taken over and want to gain more political influence in regions where they have strategic businesses and some of these candidates might not have stuck to what those organizations are interested in those specific regions where the candidate to for victory on the dish manuel lopez obrador has promised to tackle crime just how does he intend to do it briefly if you could. well just like all the other he has promised to fight corruption and and impunity will try the main reasons for this violence but he has no specific line or strategy in his program that we can see but one very controversial proposal from and doesn't look at all rather is to grant amnesty to some criminals in order to end this

violence which something might actually worsen it in the end all right correspondent ofeibea harms reporting for us from mexico city many thanks indeed. while the soccer world cup continues to bring a lot of thrills and the first day of matches was no exception followed foley alias went into his force is here now with me in the studio to talk all about it pablo so many goals today so many goals why don't we begin with that match between argentina and france it was just a blur seven goals so in total i mean it was it was one of those games that everyone wants to see at the world cup it was exciting it was dramatic like you said i'm like i said so many goals best thing to do is let's take a look at them all the action by took place not do that. i place during the run from the phenomenal killian but he was too much for argentina to deal with marcus one hopeful down i'm told griezmann converted the resulting penalty i am

pais paris a german teammate. to equalize with this outstanding strike just before half time just after the break the new way to front thanks to a clever little touch from god. to still live overseas. but the pendulum had another swing in. benjamin powered stroke to find hoff ali all the way into the back of the net then the result this map a school. and immediately afterwards see three goals in just eleven minutes to turn the tide completely on its head substitute sergio aguero did one more mean it should time but it wasn't enough for an ambitious argentina side it's a disastrous exit. so really impressive results by france just how far do you think they can go i think they can go the whole way and of course everyone was talking about messi and argentina before that much but in reality all the focus is

actually turn now to this this relatively young team and that france have there was a lot of criticism geared towards their manager today the champers for this because france obviously they got through the group stage just to be here but they didn't really impress and they sort of only really began to impress in the second half of the match and one player in particular of course a nineteen year old whose name people are going to start talking about a lot is clearly on him the best thing is let's hear from him and you're also going to see and funk raise money it was also very excited that result. of course they did it could be. pretty good though i'm pleased i feel good people said that we hadn't done anything good up till now but we had a complicated group and now it's the great team with great players we did well. all right let's turn now to the second match between portugal and or apply and very excited with that result yeah exactly of course this is

a small country small population just three less than three hundred million people there so it's a massive deal for them but the best thing is if we take a look at all the actions from that game they got off to a dream start with edison he met an absolute cracker of across from nice what is so after seven minutes of your of why we're in front as we can see there in really thrilling start about match but that's not forget the portugal managed to equalise with pepe he managed to head the hole the goal in the ball into the back of a match and then he was the hero of the hour he scored an absolute sumptuous winner to send europe wide into the last eight and there was a little bit of bad news of course for me because at the end of the day he was you limped also helped by none other than christiane arnaldo played in as well as a worrying at worrying thing right there for europe or well what are then your guys' chances against france i think it's going to be a really really close tie but i think france looked at a little bit better today they were they were much better they were stronger overall and definitely a side people going to have to keep an eye out for and we'll probably see them i

think in the final it remains an exciting world cup of many thanks indeed as always thanks maria. you're up to date now on details for you news will be back again at the top of the hour in the meantime don't forget you can always get the latest news and information on our website that's dot com american everything for all of us and for live thanks for watching. my first. most sewing machine. i come from women are bones by this social influence and there's something as simple as learning how to write a by psychosis and. since i was a little girl i wanted to have them by sight below my goal but it took me years to been despite their. finally the gave up and went on buying me on my say that but returns people sewing machines sewing i suppose was more apt procreates for goes than writing advice.
