into. sunday more. job comes more t.v. . this is d w news live from but it's crunch time for angela merkel's coalition today how it was very insistent policy will decide whether to accept the shaky migration deal she struck with the e.u. deal it doesn't go far enough and then they have presence to find their cause migration policy potentially unraveling the german government. and at the world cup

more superstars are out your acquired emanated from al those portugal and from school the most spectacular goal of the tournament so far to the n.l. messi and what could be the legends last match for watching t.v. . i'm going to humphrey that he could join me. it's a meeting that could determine the fate of i'm going to america's government one coalition pilot of the bavarian conservatives will decide in the coming hours whether to accept a deal on migration that the chancellor secured at friday's european union summit macos bavarian system party the c.s.u. had demanded a harder line on migration threatening to blow apart germany's governing coalition we'll have more on the likelihood of the german government's collapse over the thorny issue of migration in just a moment first this look at the crack of that became

a chasm for the chancellor. it seems like ages ago but not even one year has passed since i'll give a miracle and her party won the last german elections for the fourth time in a row. but since then it has become lonely and the berlin chancellery americal could be undermined not by the opposition but by her closest allies because they simply cannot stand merkel's liberal refugee policy the impetus came from this man horses the whole for head of the small bavarian c.s.u. party the sister party to on the americans can survive c.d.u. medical made him interior minister in march but then he used the opposition to undermine medicals authority the rift began in two thousand and fifteen the year when germany saw a massive influx of refugees in the end nearly one million people came to germany from war torn countries like syria and iraq but also from the balkans and north

africa many believe the chancellor is someone who could save them from their circumstances then merkel made this statement that defined a pivotal moment in her government. the arms of u.s. bishops' fish and us we have achieved so much we can do this since then there have been two sides to the world sees her as the most powerful woman who was close friends with us president barack obama and two other world leaders looked up to. but the other side of angle americal is how our own country sees her the long serving german chancellor head of a grand coalition that few actually wanted in the first place with tensions growing machall stime as chancellor could be coming to an end unless she can close the ranks between the c.d.u. and the c.s.u. from the beginning of the refugee crisis the c.s.u. strongly opposed policy of opening the borders the two party leaders frequently clashed as at the c.s.u. party convention in november two thousand and fifteen years since. we are convinced

that this is a story task for the integration of rep. g.'s into our society will not win the approval of the german people if we don't have a maximum cap for the number of people allowed into our country. but in fifty is called. a demand model was not willing to accept and the rift between the parties became wider and more evident by the day. when the so by if things go on like this we will have more refugees coming in than last year can you quote the nazis no coordination. the government in berlin does not have a plan field. no matter how you look at it there won't be any other possibility than to limit the number of people coming in the. train would be equalled by. i've said it before the system is collapsing. in the end it's domestic policies that are

threatening her tenure the influx of refugees sparked the rise of the right wing populist a.f.d. party in germany making them a real election threat and the various upcoming state election and that has seen the c.s.u. threatening to break with merkel and the c.d.u. a partnership that has existed since the second world war it's a major policy battle that could ultimately spell the end of merkel's thirteen years in office but. also what more about the danger faced by the merkel government the political correspondent hum's plant is with me firstly hans we had that meeting we understand last night between the chancellor or interior minister who say who for of course we should point out he's a committed member of the c.s.u. policy what do we know about that meeting. very little in fact we know that it took place that it took about two hours that they sat together until pretty late last night and of course we also know as we've just seen that these two politicians are

not only allies but adversaries and have been for quite a long time. there is some sort of speculation that they looked pretty grim when they came into their meetings and they looked a little less screwed when they came out of the meeting so there's some sense it may have gone less badly than one might feel but we don't know in fact and we will need some time today probably whether or not the bavarian conservatives are going to accept this deal as i'm glad markel has said she's made well looking at overall policy we know of course that machall has been talking tough about populist policies the far right the alternative for germany in particular but with ha sister party leaving to the right as well has she not been forced to change position tenchi or one has to see that i'm going to medical in fact ever since she took over the leadership of the conservative party did move the party further to the center for the in a leftist direction although it's not a leftist polity at all it's still a centrist party but further into the middle and that has left open some space on

the right of the political spectrum into which the have to move but also has to say ever since the migration peak in the late two thousand and fifteen germany's policies towards migrants of the silent seekers have become more and more tightened over the years macko has in fact responded to this pressure from both a sister party the conservatives in bavaria and from the right from the f.t. . certainly on the issue of migration on other issues one can still discuss this matter whether or not the party that i'm going to knuckle leads is to centrist or not but sitting on the migration if issue she has given in let's talk about that deal that she came back with from brussels and it was dramatic. it was town to this big dramatic a breakthrough moment that said we know that countries including hungary the czech republic have denied approving it we're a long way off from that deal we've italy would it be enough do you think to

dissuade the bavarians from implementing the road measures but what's very important is that the bavarian so said they want to close their border effectively it's the bavarian border. on their own merkel has said she doesn't want to do that and that she has now fallen to a ball to dozen or more european union countries who might agreed to deals with germany to take back refugees that have already been registered in those countries effectively that should be enough to satisfy the demands of the bavarians but at the moment we really don't know whether or not they're going to accept that absolutely judgment day for medical and home migration policy hands planned all political correspondent good to have your analysis and now to some of the other stories making news around the world mexicans are set to push the poser what could be seven elections later today the leftist fool mayor of mexico city and that is one way over the lopez holds

football world cup continues to serve up plenty of thrills in the first day of a knockout much as was no exception they wus very own all the moody joins me now from moscow good to see you ali the match between argentina and from certainly lived up to the hype but what do you make of it. it did indeed in that would an incredible start to the knockout stages that these games are often quite nervous affairs no one wants to make a mistake in france of course in their previous game drew nil nil so perhaps there were a few worries that the game wouldn't quite live up to the billing of two giants of the world what we got was completely different about those seven goals phenomenal many of the goals of such a high quality as well argentina just blown away by this french attacking performance especially from one young man. who was just far too much for the argentinian defense to handle now and we can take a look at some of the highlights from that game right now. a blistering run from

the phenomenal killian pay was too much for argentina to deal with marcus russell brought pay down and one treatment stepped up to convert the resulting penalty. paris and german teammate i'm healthy maria equalised with this stunning strike just before half time and just after the break argentina went in front thanks to gabrielle medic out of but then benjamin todd struck a fine hof volley all the way into the back of the net before killian paid quickly scored against fifth and then soon afterwards sixty three goals in eleven minutes to turn the tie completely on its head. sergio aguero got one more additional time but to no avail argentina are heading home. now sensational stuff that let's talk about some of the other matches year ago i looking at very impressive against renault those portugal would you say only they now rank among the favorites.

quite possibly i think there's certainly one of my stubborn defenses at the tournament i mean they they didn't concede a goal throughout the group stage the only team to achieve that and with that kind of fighting spirit that they have with two very solid sense of backs i'm with some excellent center forwards as well they've certainly got a chance we expected the game it's when you're going portugal to be a kind of battle of the forwards with luis suarez and you're a guy and christiane are an elder of portugal but in fact it was the other euro why for its edinson cavani we really stole the show two goals that were just too much for portugal is first showcasing some brilliant movement and then something had to . equalize through the defender pep a. go to get a brilliant finishing to the far corner. if vani and suarez can keep performing as they have done at the tournament so far that it would take a very brave person to bet against them of course the result also means that we say goodbye possibly to christiane who are now there from world cup football it's very much possible that he won't be here again same with lee and all messi from

argentina so the two possibly greatest players of all time in the game departing the world cup on the sunday potentially some of the departures of the greats today though we've got to host russia taking on spain under some difficult conditions i've heard early. yeah the weather is changing just about every minute here in moscow at the moment moscow orthorexic has sent out a storm warning but yesterday and today and the russians he will be hoping that they just mean the rain that's been coming down periodically and not at all the red theory spying they have obviously been one of the themes of the tournament so far three excellent goals against portugal in their first game and russia really on paper do not have a team to put up a fight against them but with the home support behind them with the atmosphere there's been generated in moscow there was a chance all right audie maybe for us in moscow stay dry and enjoy thank you.

and as on he just said that russia will have huge support from the home crowd so had it that much against spain we went out to see how the muscovites. did so very good said trash come to the next stage of discernment and twelve very happy for our country. and we're happy that russia will play with a strong team like spain yes i believe that russia xavi will be in because we. you know it's there and now account through and. supporters will support i would say you think russia will win at that but ok it's not a version tradition to dream they will do their best and goes far as they can. i live a good live in our team there and if we weren't so no no predictions no

predictions at all and. i. fancy more coming up at the top of the hour hey on it on humphrey in a ballet in for me and the entire news team thanks for your company and to see you very soon. we speak different languages we fight for different things that's fine but we all stick up for freedom freedom of speech and freedom of press. giving freedom of choice global news that matters to a w made for minds.
