and we're determined to do something here for the next generation the ideas the environment series of global three thousand on t w modern. audience. play. the boob tube. this is v.w. news live from perth play the german government in crisis mode interior minister was the day paul first says that his e.s.u. party will pull another meeting with chancellor angela merkel's c.d.u. later today in a last ditch attempt for the conservative alliance to mend fences today offer has been voiced to resign after a rift with merkel over migration policy. but there is no sign of compromise from

america's christian democrats who say that they in fact are policy of seeking in european solution to the migration crisis has rejected national solution favored by the c.s.u. . and in mexico exit polls point to a clear victory for the leftist candidate andres manuel lopez obrador and of the country's presidential election the former mayor of mexico city has promised to stamp out corruption reign in violence and with millions out of poverty. plus the world's top croatia books their place in the quarter final they squeeze past denmark in a penalty shoot out and will now face the hopes of russia. welcome to the program. the crisis dividing germany's coalition government has deepened

with last ditch talks among chancellor merkel's conservative bloc now set for later today on sunday her interior minister horse that they haul for threatened to resign his post after demanding a tougher stance on migration from the chancellor he also threatened to resign as leader of the c.s.u. that's the very and sister party to merkel's c.d.u. party but now he says that the c.s.u. will come together for one more round of talks with the sea the u.s. the future of their alliance hangs in the balance here's what say hoffer said after the c s u's crisis meeting on sunday. morning one of you we will talk one more time in the interest of our country and the capacity for action of our government which we want to maintain we intend to make a further attempt at reaching agreement on the central question of border controls and turning people back on this question alone. and i hope that this

effort succeeds this is a concession from me now that we're making this attempt. otherwise everything would have already been final today. here it is and we have team coverage ahead of those talks let's bring in max who is in munich where the c.s.u. leadership was meeting and political correspondent richard dieter bald as the very latest from the german capital berlin welcome to you both and rupert i'd like to begin with you because they offer as we just heard their pledge to talk one more time we understand that those talks will be in berlin later today what should we expect. this probably is going to be the final round of an ongoing conflict we have been watching for the past three weeks and what we're going to see today is that the boards of the c.d.u. over on the americas going to meet again in about half an hour's time there they will decide on how they're going to react on this very new situation this.

this resignation that holds the office has offered how they want to treat thought later in the day on them probably around midday there will be a joint meeting of all m.p.'s who is conservative bloc of c.d.u. c.s.u. and peace and i think there can already see how how things are able being how much backing she really has among the m.p.'s and also among the cs you m.p.'s. i think there we can already learn where how this last talk or see all files off it is going to take place this is been scheduled for five o'clock this afternoon we all don't know how long it's going to take we don't really know who is going to take part in this talks and to be honest i don't really know how much change this last talk could really bring both of them and holds the over already had a talk on saturday ok so so many questions remain i don't on certain time here and

max i'd like to talk with you and perhaps drill down a bit deeper into the fact that they offer has indeed offered to resign it's a big deal it shocks. what walk us through the bigger implications. yes it was quite shocking indeed it was just happening right behind me here the sea is you that the very conservative had quarters in munich last night when it rained the rounds that he may resign that he put the offer on the table in front of the c.z. posse leadership and it was only one of three options in fact so the other two options were that he would go forward with the agreement that merkel brought back from brussels but that he thought and large part of the party thought that that would cost them their credibility you have to remember that the sees you is heading toward state elections in october and they've made refugee policy big part of their political agenda for this and the other option would have been that they in fact

will break the union between c.d.u. and c. is you and that would have caused an even bigger crisis within the government as angela merkel the chancellor would then that would have to seek for a new coalition partner with her grown coalition with the s.p. the social democrats so the first two options so far are off the table so that's why he pulled the third option last night offering his resign mend it was then contested by the rest of the party they were saying they didn't want that he was reconvince he retreated from the retreat from the risk nation and now he wants to go forward and try one last time and the question is though if they will actually reach an agreement on this migration policy issue or if they will in fact maybe then break off the role rupert why does it records while fire him. things would be that easy. probably several times for several times the implication to just send him away but then you have to understand whole see all those not just

only hope interior minister holds the is the leader of the seeds you party technically c.d.u. and sees you are sister parties bush but in fact what they all they are coalition partners and if you send away fire. the leader of your coalition party as a minister well you're losing your coalition partner you're losing your paws so it's not so easy for her to just fire him and her government's time so in the end the resignation of whole see who could also be a back door for anglo-american little soul of this whole conflict without losing power and without shooting herself in the foot there as well so tell us because of the will that exactly merkel's christian democrats meanwhile there said to me today as you've articulated i just want to listen briefly to what their general secretary said after talks on sunday evening and have a listen not soon on mosque. with national measures such as increased security among many others we believe we will

significantly reduce secondary migration in a coordinated sustainable way with the e.u. member states student and not against these of a hunt to move these negotiations need to be continued just quickly as possible so that we can deliver and get real results you know actually turning people away at the borders we believe would send the wrong signal to our partners in the european union who ph english placement. so that was the general secretary of their party and it's very clear from what she has just articulated that merkel seems to have the strong backing at least within her own party when it comes to a european solution to the migration crisis and max i'd like to ask you does they offer have the full backing of his. well. i wouldn't say at this point the full backing so what was quite interesting to see

compared to two weeks ago when they had the first crisis meeting here at the headquarters there was a complete unified front at the c.s.u. you could see everybody who may have something to say rather being tightlipped and not uttering anything yesterday there was a different situation there was a different feeling to the whole event so what we saw at one point is first of all that we heard several members of the sea is you being rather outspoken contesting the migration plan contesting certain points in it to having a controversial debate about the whole thing and then of one point when say whole for put his resignation on the table he richey to it to the first floor of this building here for their headquarters of the conservative but very very conservatives and talk there with his confidants with close allies of the party while the rest of the party was waiting out downstairs and in the end the vote to it's his plan two words the meeting today one for with only one veto so

there is a huge backing behind see over at the moment but it's not the full ok back with the latest from munich were privy to all in berlin and it's going to be a very interesting day here in germany and the two of you i know will be with us throughout the morning also the afternoon following it breaking it all down and we thank you very much for your initial assessments as well. of get some more analysis on all of this are joined by our fellow correspondent peter craven to go a little bit deeper into the details and what this means for the german government and peter you know it's quite unusual to have a very public reffed at least between the c.d.u. c.s.u. or is it well they owe as rupert just pointed out they are sister politics they've been working together as a conservative caucus here in germany for many many decades but now they're really at each other's froze this is not the way that i'm going to medical normally don't think she's normally cool calm and collected very much the pragmatist but she's now

been drawn into it what it what has been described as as an end game with hosts a whole you know there's been all sorts of talk about ultimatums guns being put to the chancellor's head and you know that's of that's not the angle america world as we know it to will metaphor that's been used to describe jose hope his behavior is that he's climbed up a tree and then climb still further and climbs and he doesn't know how to get back down he's in a panic and he's shooting sort of right and left and you know that's the situation where he's out of control but does he have a gun to our head because i mean just a need to say yes it does she she could just for example consult the greens or it she has other options right well that the c.s.u. are a small regional party with not quite fifty seats in the bundestag but she doesn't need those those seats for a majority in the bundestag yes she could shift to the left she could create a left liberal coalition with the greens but that would leave the whole field of

center right politics in germany open to whole say hold to the c.s.u. to the a.f.c. the populist alternative for germany party. i don't think wants that to happen i think she still wants to be covering the central ground as it could be a bit of a pandora's box as you articulated i want to talk of it more about that tree that you say is they offer has climbed up because what is his endgame here i mean you know it's been poles for example where there are region. elections that take place in bavaria that at this policy is not really playing but the electorate there so what are they doing there i think there are two things going on that i mean the c.s.u. all the policy as a whole they do have one eye on the october elections obviously and they're in a real panic because they how to hold an absolute majority in that state that defending an absolute majority they know they're looking looking very likely to lose it and they thinking immigration might be the issue they could win votes all of this point in time at the same time this is very personal between wholesale hope

it goes back an awful long way goes back decades literally to when they were sitting opposite each other and helmut kohl the coalition government rupert said you know it goes back three or four days it goes back three or four weeks he goes back three years to when i get medical opened her metaphorically for germany and let people in a lot of those people were let into the to the front line state here in germany that has been very the state of the seahorse a hope a c.s.u. comes from they think that they were very very hard hit by this and they've been very unforgiving for that decision on anglo americans part does anyone come out of this crisis stronger no. and i fear when we talk about whole say hold for an angle i'm outta luck here i fear that you know he is going to put himself in a position where she you know i don't think she is going to fire him she's going to wait until he fires. himself but i'm going to medical is in big trouble she's tarnished now more than ever as a result of this at least of the whole therapy has been called into a very very great credit it's a credibility gap now with her own for up to and it's this is also

a crisis for germany let's talk a little bit more about that actually going to my next question because we talk so much about the politicians the power players that are here what does this mean for the country and especially the direction in which it is going because you know. it's been said that she has very much pushed her party to the left just generally speaking over her over her tenure are we seeing the german government being pushed to the right here. we're seeing what we're seeing what we've seen since the german election what we've seen in the last three years in politics calmly because of the populist policies that has so much dominating the debate so much dominating the agenda in german politics and european politics everything these days is about immigration do you remember the days not too long ago when we used to say jobs were what won elections nobody in gym is talking about jobs or social issues at the moment although there are many many people who wish that politicians were doing everything is focused on immigration that is incredibly damaging for german politics and for european politics it's toxic you know craven our political

correspondent i know you'll be back a little bit later in the hour to give us some more analysis and we very much appreciate it thank you and as we can see a major difference of opinion inside the governing coalition and at the heart of the rift location immigration as we have just heard the c.s.u. party is based in the state of the feria along germany's southern border huge numbers of asylum seekers cross there at the height of the migration crisis back in twenty fifteen though there's still been a significant drop off since then but facing up coming regional elections the c.s.u. is looking to shore up its right leaning base with a tough stance on migration but what controls all already in place and how much tougher can they get here's a look at the situation in bavaria. spot checks at the german border with austria. and they could be stepped up if germany's interior minister gets his way. but already police control busy entry points into the

country. when despite its size zero four it is the whole practice of looking to the federal police have increased border controls along this mine route and from the ground from the goal is to ensure an orderly inflow of migrants to prevent human trafficking and to help legal migrants and to offer them protection an asylum in an orderly fashion can be destroyed i answered all human even fits with. this state of bavaria tighten controls at the height of europe's migration crisis and twenty fifteen since then hundreds of people smugglers and irregular migrants have been arrested germany's interior minister has now gone a step further demanding that people who have sought asylum in another e.u. country be sent back there. is could be a minimum on that if a person has registered themselves in and now the e.u.

country then that country's responsible for the person he's issued office because then it's reasonable for that person to be turned back at the german border on the grounds that sort of us a demand which has plunged germany's governing coalition into crisis and while the e.u. tries to find a unified migration policy the varia is forging ahead with its own plans a new border police force with five hundred officers will begin patrolling on monday regardless of what happens in berlin and brussels. and what impact is all of this having on the economy helen humphrey has a story sara thank you very much of course this only going political crisis in berlin is alarming investors and business economists are concerned that was the coalition to collapse it could weaken germany's business sector experts fear that important fact is the geminis future for example the development of high speed digital infrastructure will become bogged down in political wrangling and of course

is europe's largest economy germany needs a strong government to negotiate in trade disputes with the u.s. and china so to put all of this in perspective now we can bring in marco boggo he is the chief economist at germany's possed bank thank you very much for joining us now currently we're faced with the prospect of his evil for resigning and of the guy governing a coalition collapsing what about to happen how problematic would that be for the german economy that what you can frequently see is that investor sentiment is suffering so you have like sort of a negative impact on investments on the on the one other hand you can also have another negative impact on private consumption which in the some of them will lead to a slowdown in economic growth on the other hand we have a quite good shape the draw for the german economy so gross is quite high and broad based overall so i wouldn't expect that the ops being would come to an end however

on the in the long run of course you know that might have a negative impact as well along on the growth potential because we friends might be postponed and when the government is weak or as he points to what could potentially be a slowdown in economic growth we're not just talking about the health of the german economy that's not the only thing at stake also of course germany is europe's largest economy what could uncertainty do for the health of the year is art. you know of course we would also have another negative impact on other new countries or e.u. countries when germany's growth comes down because there is very close trade relations between these countries and also on the other hand we have. maybe some sort of postponement in emu e.u. reforms which are quite necessary given the vast huge imbalances we have seen in the past years so if we see another crisis and we don't have

a any more economic reform reforms on and you basis or level than the might and and maybe even end of it break up of the in you or you i mean that's quite concerning isn't it because a week and a eurozone is a time when such big economic issues are on the table internationally the european union and the u.s. on the brink of a trade war so what would you say all the main challenges facing the german economy right now internationally yeah the trade was certainly very very big topic because we are a very open economy half of our g.d.p. goes into experts so we really have to prevent in a trade war try to prevent of trade war with with the u.s. and other countries of course and for that we need to other countries because or e.u. countries because customs custom policy is basically a common policy and so nope no country can do it on the its own and then of course we have other topics like that if you tell the nation or will

a lack of full skilled workers which is a very important topic for germany so we have to go on on that as the fields as well so one of the questions these issues are at stake by this political turmoil in but then at the moment when we look at the issue on the table that's cause they spat between america and the it will that is the chance this migration policy up until now would have been the consequences of her migration policy for the german economy. you know on the one hand you have of course a sort of a weight on the fiscal fiscal budget which means that you have to spend more money you know like for the for the immigrants of course which was it wasn't that bad because the german budgets a school bus it budget was quite balanced and we even had a surplus in past years so that if it wasn't too bad it even helped growth because if government spends more you have sort of a gross growth impact. especially and then in the long run i would say what is more

important is that we might overcome sort of all of these pomp partly overcome the electoral skilled workers if we manage to train the immigrants. to then come into the labor market to the german labor market but this takes some time as we know about five years on average if you look at past experiences before really immigrants reach sort of a ratio of labor participation as domestic. population population to does so potentially a boost for the labor market. the chief economist at germany's post bank thanks for your perspectives you're welcome and as i'm sorry now for a look at the man who is set to lead mexico again so much helena yes indeed in fact it is leftists presidential candidate andres manuel lopez obrador who has won sunday's election by a wide margin official projections put him on track to win more than fifty three

percent of the vote he made fighting corruption a central campaign in his pledge and has vowed to enact policies to help the poor lopez obrador was the runner up in two previous presidential elections in two thousand and six and two thousand and twelve he has also been a sharp critic of u.s. president donald trump but in his victory speech held at an all of branch he held out an olive branch rather to trump and here's what he had to say. new rules. will cost you a relationship or friendship and cooperation with the united states. but if you are always rooted in neutral respectful and in the defense of our fellow mexicans who live and work in that country. and from our we are joined by correspondent ophelia harmes who is joining us in mexico city welcome to you ophelia the fact that he is a leftist leader how significant is that for the country.

well you can see how emotions are running high behind me people definitely expect a drastic change in a country were the social inequality is very high up as a brother has promised to change this he has promised to reduce poverty that is more than forty percent of the population and he has also said in his victory speech said he will track down all of those politicians involved in crime and corruption which is one of the biggest problems in mexican politics and is also one of the reasons why violence is so high he will say he said he will track down every politician from every political party even his own so i mean with this valid out to completely change mexico voters are really expecting a lot from him just walk us through those expectations and whether or not they are realistic. well some people that i have talked

to say if he if he ends up turning out ten percent of what he promised they will be happy enough people are so fed up with their political class with the party that have ruled mexico so far and that have not been able to fight violence corruption and all the social inequality that they are giving a leftist populist chance for the first time what he has as well is a majority in congress which will probably give him the chance to make major reforms especially in the energy and the telecommunications sector and he has also said that he will well maintained the good relationship to the u.s. something that we didn't expect from him that he knows how important these relationships are we can see behind you people just really overjoyed by his when they're out on the streets many people celebrating honking the horns of their cars . we mentioned a bit earlier that he issued an olive branch to the u.s.

president donald trump of course that relationship with the northern neighbor was was a very big factor in this election u.s. president donald trump also congratulating him what does that mean for the relationship going forward what you say. yes the relationships to the united states weren't a big topic during the campaign because i think none of the candidates wanted to make any mistakes we're related to this topic especially as nafta negotiations are going on but we saw that love us over there was already choosing someone to enter these negotiations when he becomes the next president so he does know how important these relationships are most of the expectations from mexico depends on this agreement with the united states and canada and maybe this is not the neoliberal system he would like to see for his country but he does know how important the united states are what i have very common saying and mexico is when the united

states gets a cold mexico gets a new moon and. ophelia holmes joining us from mexico city where as we can see people are celebrating thanks. still to come on the show you're watching d.w. news will this man bring down angela merkel's government political drama as german interior minister. threatens to resign over migration we will look back on how it got this far. and croatia have folks there facing the quarter finals of the world cup they screens past denmark in a penalty shoot out and will now face the hosts russia. all that mark coming up in just a few minutes time i'm sara kelley in berlin you're watching news.
