this is d.w. news live from the clock is ticking on a key decision that i'm going to macros coalition in a couple of hours have a very insistent call to you will decide whether to accept the shaky migration deal she struck with you if the deal doesn't go far enough for them they're threatening to define their course migration policy potentially unraveling the german government. and that the world cup will superstars all out your acquire live in a tip or in elders' portugal in front spoil the most spectacular goal of the

tournament so far to send home the n.l. messi what could be the legends last match tina. i'm having a home free thanks for joining me is a meeting that could determine the fate of i'm going to mccool's government one coalition partner the bavarian conservatives will decide whether to accept the deal of migration that the chance was secured at friday's european union summit merkel's bavarian sister party the c.s.u. had demanded a hard line on migration threatening to blow apart germany's governing coalition that sake a look now at the crack that became a chasm for the chancellor. it seems like ages ago but not even one year has passed since our gov 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. 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 horsey hoffa 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 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 human special 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 on the manacle 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 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 version number of people allowed into our country.

but then fifty of them 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 but if things go on like this we will have more refugees coming in than last year. quoting that says 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. train because i. have said it before the system is collapsing. in the end its 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 elections 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. and also to more about the dangers faced by the merkel government d.w. political correspondent hans but is with me firstly hans we have that meeting we understand last night between the chancellor her interior minister who say who for of course we should point out he's a committed member of the c.s.u. possy 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 by the 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 this some sense it may

have gone less badly than one my fear 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 uncle america has said she's made well looking i've ruled 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 system policy moving 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 didn't move the party further to the center for the in the 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 saddam seekers have become more and more tightened

over the years macko has in fact responded to this pressure from both his 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 an 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 does not want to do that

and that she has now fallen to a ball to dozen or more european union countries who market 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 has planned all political correspondent good to have your analysis and now some of the other stories making news around the walled mexican's all set to very soon what could be seven zero zero elections later say the leftist who mayor of mexico city on the days when a win over the lopez holds a twenty point lead at the polls currently now open to an opus is promising to crack down on the country's rampant corruption the election campaign has been launched by unprecedented levels of violence. eight days off to

parents they marched on the east coast thousands streaming across new york slammed mock brooklyn bridge. they staged mass protests in the west coast cities of san francisco and los angeles from chicago in the north to florida in the deep south. crowds gathered outside the white house in washington still angry at recent emotional scenes of children being separated from their parents at the us mexico border there was particular scorn as protesters filed past the trump. they called for the scrapping of the u.s. customs and immigration agency known as ice right now is that it's inhumane and it's recess and it's also completely ineffective i want them to my life my family moved to the u.s. when i was a child we have a great one for one and when i came here i wasn't in a cage i think it's important my duty now to be here sure immigration is a huge issue for any country but to be. actually teaching these people the decency

of his or i think really passionate about their families also gathered on the mexican side of the border with the u.s. to protest against separations and deportations. since donald trump took office policies of hate have begun we all know people only migrate out of necessity we demand an end to the racist policies of donald trump you know the president may have backed down on unforced separations but not all families have been reunited and immigration from mexico remains an incendiary issue. at the world cup eight in russia the knockout stages start of the real thriller argentina eliminated by france in a rollercoaster of a match in ca's on the game so seven goals and very likely the last well cup appearance of one of the world's greatest players. a blistering run from the phenomenal killian pay was too much for argentina to deal with marcos rockhold

brought back a down and anton griezmann stepped up to convert the resulting penalty but praise paris and german teammate i go to maria equalized with this stunning strike just before half time and just after the break argentina went in front thanks to gabriele medic out of but then benjamin powered struct a fine half volley all the way into the back of the net before kilian paid quickly scored the game's fifth and then soon afterwards six three goals in eleven minutes to turn the tie completely on its head. sergio where i've got one more additional time but to no avail argentina are heading home. so the second knockout match of the day so a year ago i take on portugal in such the first place in the quarter finals of the world cup you're a quite getting off to a dream start as edinson cavani and louis were as cross says the seven men if the
