this is d.w. news live from berlin until america's political future hangs in the balance as a key partner casts doubt on the migration deal germany's interior minister or stephen for who also has the chancellor's bulgarian sister party is expected to announce whether his party will balance the agreement she struck with you but if it doesn't it could spell the end of germany's government our reporters are on the scene. and a massive shock at the world cup host nation of russia knocked two thousand and ten

champions spain out of the tournament russian advance of a quarter final after a nail biting penalty shoot out in moscow and will face either denmark or croatia. thanks for joining us on marian i haven't seen a political showdown within the german government chancellor angela merkel is awaiting the outcome of a make or break meeting her bavarian sister party of the c.s.u. fronted by interior minister of course they will four are deciding at this moment whether to accept a migration deal that the chancellor reached with the european union as a whole for has called for a harder line on migration and reportedly says the agreement does not go far enough to reduce migrant numbers he's threatened to take border security into his own

hands if the party leaders meeting today project that deal. well speaking in an interview just a short while ago chancellor merkel urged as a whole for and his party not to act unilaterally here's what she had to say. everyone knows that things a serious i would like to see you in the sea is you to continue working together because we're german success story together we are strong. people have expectations of us and i will have this in mind when i hold discussions for me it's also important not to act unilaterally and at the expense of others. and our political team is covering this story we have developed as michelle occurred in munich at the parties the it's your leadership meeting and melinda crane is standing by in berlin at the chancellor's c.d.u. party headquarters in china i'd like to begin with you so or stay home for apparently says he doesn't think that the e.u. deal is enough and is reportedly it to make an announcement to this and soon does

that mean trouble for the governing coalition. well this whole standoff that we're experiencing here is already trouble both makeover whose leadership has been weakened by this but also for the c.s.u. party the very insistent party here that has proven so rebellious on this particular issue of migration. has told delegates here that this after all was also an issue of credibility this indicates that this also seems to be an issue of how he's perceived whether he's perceived as credible when he says he wants to see more control on the border what angela merkel has achieved on paper is rallying a dozen or so and i'm deliberately vague there because some of those eastern states already backing out of board operative told agreements while she secured commitments for them to take back all previously registered migrants horsy were first line at the beginning and from the beginning was he wants to see people

basically turned back at the border and the big question here is is this only about this very issue which could see a potential compromise where there might be some rejections at the german border all this is this more on principle and on political psychology here of course it's no secret that hosty was against what became known as angela merkel's open arms policy on migration back in twenty fifteen she always he always criticized her from day one she has somewhat now or down the policy there but doesn't feel it's enough right now all right so melinda or save or hope for indicating he does not think merkel has gone far enough what are you hearing at the c.d.u. party headquarters our party members getting nervous about what's coming next. the party leadership are meeting now and have been meeting for some time and as

various members of the leadership were entering this building they were very tight lipped essentially no commentary whatsoever today but certainly in the past few days we have heard senior members of the party declaring there resoundingly support for the chancellor following tao to european union summit last week many of them saying she actually achieved a great more than they had anticipated both in terms of the overall summit agreement but also in the bilateral negotiations that she held with various countries on the european union's southern perimeter with an aim to getting there agreement that germany would be able to send back refugees who had been registered in those countries when they first entered the european union that is the absolute core of this conflict. just outlined and the chancellor basically has been saying

all along and continues to say today that she does not willing as she is not willing to see germany go it alone on this issue that such a turning back of refugees can only be effective if it is agreed upon with other european union members and she feels and most of her party leadership do also seem to feel that she came a good step further in achieving doubt a kind of multilateral agreement this past week so solidarity here right now with the chancellor. all right and now if we assume that say over a dozen decide to step down over this just briefly if you can what would this mean . well it would create more political uncertainty it would certainly not be the direct so down seeing her having to fire him but if he seeks to do this

by himself he could leave more on his own terms but it still leaves the governing coalition on the c.d.c.'s you with a very uncertain situation and the chance to sit in a difficult situation as well so a lot of questions few ounces right now. and melinda do you see any room for a compromise between chancellor merkel and the bavarian see if you also briefly if you could. i absolutely do see room for compromise what we saw come out of that european union summit this past week is definitely a tightening of europe's outer boundaries it is a stricter approach to migration of course it still needs to be implemented that will take time may be difficult but there definitely is a shift there and that is what the c.s.u. as been looking for and in fact we've heard a number of members of the chancellor's party offering a face saving way to deescalate to the c.s.u. basically saying without their pressure this movement wouldn't have occurred so at

this point the exit path is there they could deescalate the question is will they. melinda crane reporting from berlin and in new nick many thanks indeed to both of you now voting is underway in mexico after the most violent lead up to an election in the country's history at least one hundred thirty politicians have been murdered since campaigning began presidential frontrunner on this manuel lopez obrador arrived early to cast his vote if his third bid for the presidency the left wing former mayor of mexico city could oust the two parties that have governed mexico for nearly a century. well all the candidates in mexico's presidential election have attacked the trumpet ministrations hard line against illegal migration and in the u.s. hundreds of thousands of demonstrators have also been taking part in protests to

show their opposition the rallies come despite president trump's decision to end an existing policy that separated parents from their children after they were apprehended nevertheless thousands of children remain in custody. they marched on the east coast thousands streaming across the york's landmark brooklyn bridge. they staged mass protests in the west coast cities of some francisco and los angeles from chicago in the north to florida or 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 but 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 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 had great fun for when i came here i wasn't put in a cage i think it's important for my duty now to be here sure immigration is a huge issue for any country but to be. the case that these people the decency of his or i thought 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 president trump may have backed down in forced separations but not all families have been reunited and immigration from mexico remains an incendiary issue. at the soccer world cup host nation russia have pulled off a massive shock and part of fully force is here to tell us all about it so pablo

this was a really a huge surprise russians are through and spain is out yeah and you're speaking to a spaniard tonight so obviously i'm trying to hold it together for you marianna but it was it was a real shocker has to be said but russia have done incredibly well at this tournament and the best thing to do though is take a look at this report and we'll see have a game plan that. when marco asensio swung in at the free kick on you and so ramos made himself a nuisance so ignatiev it was overwhelmed and on the unfortunate goal sourced by front but the hosts pulled themselves back a corner shortly before half time was met with a hand boom from the general case the referee gave a penalty which also in juba smashed home to bring russian that i need credible moment for the hosts in front of i'm elated how proud i am they continue to grind through the second hall on days time with the favorites finding no relief this one

was destined to go just as. it was the russians who had then converting who out to four penalties i went to go ack in favor saved for the second time this incredible upset was complete russia continue to write history i dream world cup campaign marches on i. are a problem i have to tell you i was also among those who just wrote off russia right from the start they are the lowest ranked team in the tournaments and look how far they've come how much further can they go well you're like many people and i have to say i was like you as well i didn't think they would go very far at all of course they want to have their three group stage much as they beat saudi arabia they lost to europe why and they also beat egypt so going into this match not many people really thought that they could do anything against spain but spain haven't really played all that well in this tournament they've been quite underwhelming let's not forget that just a couple of days before the start of the tournament their thanks all star manager

because there is and there is a big manager change and whatever else but let's hear from the captains because you can really see the difference in how they're feeling after this game. i have a total god of community against the host a great team that force us to go to pendleton us but you know we did it was very tough very physical. we did everything we could as it seemed you know we donated for most of the game created chances pretty much all the time we gave it our all out there is a difficult time because the world cup is a dream for every footballer that's going home early years very painful this year but i am with a lot of i should but you must thank you for all the supports you know that i already said before the tournament we have to believe in ourselves and we did it that would have been an amazing championship and it's not just the russian founds it's the fans from other countries that have been affected by the atmosphere here and they understand that russia knows how to how far the that's the only that and so that's all right some euphoric russian fans pablo just how important is the home

advantage for russia bugsy were here in berlin we weren't in the stadium we were watching at law if we could even tell from watching it here that the fans were essential like the twelfth player out there of course to playing in moscow everyone super excited but our colleague barbara moore was there and she sent us this report from ard. what a drama what an incredible day for the russian fans i say this is their victory spain with clearly the better team they had more quality more pole position but russian menace to hold strong make it through extra time into the penalty shoot out and then also have the nerves to win i say this is because they have this enormous crowd behind them there was little going lots of cheering also in that sense the victory was absolutely deserved and the support as we have been so skeptical about their very own team ahead of the tournament they still supported the team all the way through so i say having russia win here as the best that could happen to this world cup. well there you have it russian fans obviously super excited barbara even

seem excited because she was watching if they're alive and who will they play next well of course croatia or denmark two great teams i think rice are going to go really far in this tournament they look absolutely fantastic all right there remains a very exciting world cup. always for it's many thanks indeed. and you're up to date now on the news thanks for watching. nico piece in germany to learn german. english to me. why not learn with him online on the mobile and free shots from the w.c. learning course because the.
