government as a feud over migration cast doubt on the survival of merkel's coalition last ditch talks among the conservative bloc are now set for later today on sunday interior minister costas a huffer threaten to resign his post over chancellor merkel's insistence on an e.q. wide migration policy he also threatened to resign as leader of the bavarian wing of merkel's conservative alliance but now they hope for says that he will meet once more with merkel to try and resolve the crisis for one year 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. because we have more now we're joined by mascot shaikh with the latest from munich where the c.s.u. leadership was meeting and e.w. political correspondent the privy devolved is in the german capital berlin welcome to both of you rupert i'd like to begin with you first because we just heard they offer a pledge they're on this meeting later today what should we expect from it. in the end this is could be the final round of the conflict which has been going on for all three years now since the refugee situation here in germany in two thousand and fifteen began these final talks scheduled to take place sometime in the late afternoon some say around five pm local bill in time before that the c.d.u. board is meeting right now here in berlin trying to discuss and trying to find out how they are going to react on what they have found what they see as you has left for them in the last night especially this resignation threat or off however you

want to put it all for interior minister and sees huge salmon holes the whole film and the fact that he offered to resign a very big deal it shocked max what are the bigger implications. well. the head of the very conservative see is you and the federal interior minister outlined all the implications all the options he has and his party has last night in their quite dramatic meeting here they had cool to see munich and the three options he said were the ones for once they could go forward with the deal that merkel brought back all the agreements that most liberal back from brussels from the summit last week and just accept them which would cause them a lot of credibility which that one because they're heading to the state election the state elections him beriah in october and the other option would be that they

would just cause a rift that they would break with a union partner of this system party c.d.u. merkel's party which would then cause a rift in the coalition government and cause another bigger political crisis and the third option which he actually then put forward was that he would resign from both his party leadership position and from his position as the federal interior minister his party last night try to convince him otherwise so he pulled back his offer of resignation at first but he said yesterday as well that he wants this to be so within three days and that he still has the offer of his resignation up for these three days so what is happening at the moment is actually that all three options are on the table so the season is in danger of losing the credibility both to the voters here at home and the varia and to the coalition partners in berlin. is. at his leadership in the party and his position as a federal minister is at stake and the rift between the both coalition partners

over all three coalition partners that sees you as the bavarians the c.d.u. as the conservatives nationwide and the s.p. social democrats is widening so all the option that he actually put out are on the table at the moment and all the implications are quite grave and imminent back with the latest from munich were privy to all in berlin thank you so much to both of you . let's take a closer look now at what has been fueling this rift over migration the hardliners facing down merkel hell from the state of bavaria along germany's southern border huge numbers of asylum seekers crossed fair at the height of the migration crisis back in twenty fifteen since then there has been and significant drop off but with upcoming regional elections the c.s.u. is looking to shore up its right leaning base with tighter border controls. 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. was politicized ofer that there's no hope for to sue the federal police of increased border controls along this mine root. canal goal is to ensure an orderly inflow of migrants to prevent human trafficking and to help legal migrants to offer them protection an asylum in an orderly fashion can be. even. this state of bavaria tightened controls at the height of europe's migration crisis in 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've sought asylum in another e.u. country be sent back there. is could be a number on that if

a person has registered themselves in another country then that country's responsible for the person to speak with and it's reasonable for that person to be turned back at the german border on the grounds that sort of was 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 for guard lists of what happens in berlin and brussels and we're back now with political correspondent ripper vader vault he's joining us from berlin as we mentioned so rupert you know we got some insight there into the major effect at the very end politics is having on germany's governing coalition on the national level so what does they hope for really want to hear. well the big problem

with this whole conflict is that if we look at the details of it the differences between chancellor merkel and her interior minister so big role and we also have to take an account that i. came back from the e.u. summit and of last week where she had reached a big conclusion with all the of the e.u. countries saying that we have to step up on the european borders that in the end refugee policy has to change the quite a lot of things in there everybody him believe in thought yes this is something the whole seal for can agree agree to this would save his face as some people said but no he said no in the end of the problem is it's not about details it is about symbolism he sees you as the conservative little party in bavaria has had the feeling from the very beginning of the refugee issue here in germany that uncle americal has made a big huge mistake when she let people in in two thousand and fifteen and has set so from the very beginning and from then on she has tried to make the point to say

we have to change refugee policy we have to close the borders we have to try to get people out of the country and to a certain extent america was willing to go with them but only to a certain extent and that's something the seas you can't really cope with they have the feeling that i'm gone michael has left some open ground or has created a vacuum on the conservative side of the political landscape a vacuum the right wing populist a.v. party has trying to fill very successfully we must say this is something the c's use feeling and they are threatened by the safety party that's the reason they want to change the migration policy of i mean that effort to change the debate to you know puts push the conversation a little bit farther right they hope for has really hung his political future on this ultimatum that he has issued to the chancellor he says that he will resign if he doesn't get what he wants why does america just fire him. well it sounds like the easy solution but it would be the worst case scenario if she would have to fire

the leader of the seas you party if she would have to fire him as an interior minister that would in the end mean ending her coalition government her coalition or corporation with the seas you party a corporation which has been ongoing for the last seven decades this is not just like a coalition government of several months or years this is a cooperation between two parties who have been acting as one party for many many decades have created stability here in germany too so. by sucking hole seal followed by firing him she would force the seas you poncy away from the c.d.u. so in the end his offer to resign could also mean a back door for your provider falls with the very latest on what could prove to be a very critical day for the german government we thank you so much for your reporting from berlin you know go. to mexico now where the leftist presidential candidate andres manuel lopez obrador has won this sunday's election

by a wide margin official projections put him on track to win more than fifty three percent of the votes he made fighting corruption a central campaign pledge and has vowed to enact policies to help the poor he was the runner up in two previous presidential elections in two thousand and six and two thousand and twelve has also been a sharp critic of u.s. president donald trump. but in his victory speech he held out an olive branch to trump here's what he had to say this doesn't need us who's got the most we will pursue a relationship or friendship and cooperation with the united states. but always rooted in mutual respect and in the defense of our fellow mexicans who live and work on ripley in that country. in the in his it bites. i'm joined now in the studio by madhu is a political scientist at the latin america institute of the free university and

berlin welcome thanks for joining us this morning thank you for inviting but we mentioned that he's a leftist leader what does that mean for mexico well this is say he's to recode victory in mexico after seventeen years of fear i go over meant then twelve years of d n a government and then six years again of so this is a huge challenge for from mexico and i think this is a you appear to need to be to see a new way of doing politics and also is this completing the cycle of the macross he finally he's coming in with some very very big promises i mean he's basically promised to completely change the country what do you make of what he's promised first of all what is he promising and is it realistic in the in the ne in the last twelve years because this is the third time he percents or he runs for the election is he didn't to fight very will probably the two larger problems are issues in

mexico on the one hand you have corruption and on the other hand you have a social inequality so he promises that. cutting corruption with the money he will save from these she will be able to fight social inequality so we are talking about according to his own calculations around a twenty six billion years that our spirit is year which should be reassigned for social spending you think you can do it we should see it ok ok we'll see if it actually comes to reality meantime we know that relations are very much strange with mexico's northern neighbor of the united states the u.s. president there throwing than. trade agreements into flocks also a lot of issues surrounding immigration the u.s. president actually congratulated him on his win and i'd like to just read that out for our viewers of course donald trump using his preferred maybe twitter as always he writes the following congratulations to and respond well lopez overwrought i'm becoming the next president of mexico i very much look forward to working with him

there is much to be done that will benefit both the united states and mexico what do you make of the relationship going forward now with this new president in mexico well the foreign policy profile of. your complaint. if we don't know because we he hadn't had the chance to to run off is. done responsibilities what we can think about what he's going to do in foreign policy and not only with the us used to. play according to the rules of the national a mexican constitution which we call the principles of foreign policy our regarding de us which is our more important for in relation i believe that he will try to use the moral institutional path she's not going to be i believe he's not going to be there dissent the folks were asked or used to do with president bush jr this

is not the relation of friends so this is a relation of close close close neighbors but not necessarily friends and. i trust he will develop this profile is let's protect going into and trying to do to reduce the tensions ok thanks so much for telling us a little bit more about the mexican elections and the consequences going forward if you know when the political scientist at the latin america institute of the free university and berlin thank you you're watching d.w. news still to come on the program croatia beat denmark to reach the quarter finals of the world cup but how will they fare against the host nation russia. but first we are heading over to helena humphrey thank you very much sero taking a look at the ongoing political crisis in but it's alarming investors and business

economists were the german a coalition to collapse it could weaken the country's business sector experts fear that important factors for germany's future for example the development of high speed digital infrastructure will become bogged down in political wrangling and of course as europe's largest economy germany's a strong government to negotiate in trade disputes which currently ongoing with the united states and china. i want to bring in our financial correspondent comment on who's in is standing by for us at the frankfurt stock exchange now conrad right now we are limbo regarding the status of the german coalition how are investors reacting to that well and the stock market here in frankfurt has opened on a very negative notes this morning because not only do investors hate limbo most investors and i would say also a majority of business leaders in germany hate every political movement which puts

in doubt the success story of the european union because this is how many people in the financial world are seeing this dispute not only a dispute between the chancellor and her minister for the interior but a dispute about how the future of europe should be governed the interior minister is siding with forces of the european union the chancellor of austria the prime minister of hungary who stand for a renationalization of the european union while despite all her reluctance to see the german chancellor is seen as a force for more integration of europe and this is at stake that is what people here are concerned about and the decks are flexing that opening down despite the fact that this was meant to be a day conrad all celebration the dax turning thirty. absolutely a lot of people in dark suits came to the trading floor this morning to comment

commemorate this thirtieth anniversary of the german dax which by the way was originally planned to be called the kiss index this acronym in german would have stood for price information system but eventually of course the makers realize that this is not exactly a twofer out reputation on for a share price index for that's really was a success i have to say if one invested in for example the dax fund thirty years ago the annual return despite all those ups and downs in the course of the thirty years was more than eight percent much better than any savings account. germany's to sinclair and tata steel as well r t unite tell us more about that much. well this will become the newly formed company will become the second largest steelmaker in europe and the legal seat of the company will be in the netherlands

which means also that it's very likely that the influence of the unions in the supervisory board of this new company will be much smaller than it used to be at the otis and group still the unions agreed to the deal the competitiveness of the two companies was if they had stayed alone too much in doubt the right color had risen for us in frankfurt thank you conrad. the malaysian investors have started the week tentatively as they prepare for the u.s. to impose heavy tariffs on a range of chinese imports the levies on billions of dollars worth of goods and to come into force at the end of this week is a follow on the heels of data published over the weekend showing that chinese manufacturing activity slowed in june as the world's number two economy shows signs of a slump. another dramatic day at the world cup in russia with the host pulling off

a big shock to beat spain i'm joined here in the city of by tom tonight from database for it's a huge surprise tom an incredible game and they knocked out one of the tournament favorites they did yes by an massive side there were a lot of people's pick to go all the way this year. and russia let's not forget before the tournament started with a lowest ranked team to even be at the world cup finals and so had to be something spectacular it was was good fun to watch let's not let's take a look now and see how they go. when marco asensio swung in a deep free kick on the on sergio ramos made himself a nuisance sergei ignatiev it was overwhelmed and an unfortunate goal sourced by dummy front but the hosts pulled themselves back a corner shortly before half time was met with a hand boo from gerrard ok the referee gave a penalty which also in juba smashed home to bring russian and i am incredible

moment for the hosts in front of and in light speed travel time they continued to grind through the second half and extra time with the favorites finding no relief this one was destined to go the distance. it was the russians who had the nerves converting fool out of four penalties by when ego acking fayez saved for the second time this incredible set was complete russia continue to write history i dream world cup campaign marches on i and opal i did the fans react to that when. yeah that was elated as you can imagine russia have been playing incredibly well so far this tournament like i said they were the lowest ranked team going into it and yesterday's game was a really an upset they've really been exceeding expectations. last night was a place that i would very much of liked to have been in fact i wasn't but some of our colleagues and the books on the back for us to take it would. unparalleled

joy on the streets of moscow many fans are struggling to comprehend russia's latest win few russians ever expected so much of their national see. a man happy with move in but i don't believe about it it's impossible i think so. i mean it was incredible and very proud of my contract and i'm very happy that's many foreigners hereafter in there sharing are we with us with the first majority of fans coming from russia passionate support was surely a factor against spain. but i think it was really worth the food at the places you must go to day and are the best louis did you and the france it was really good that served with that was well aware twelve players today i think it's a russian the be contra and all together and when i was famous russia and we we

know. if you can beat spain you can beat anyone that's the mood coming out of this game and some daring to dream of the ultimate price i hope it's we'll be fine oh. no. you if you're good this is the last game. it's down to live over there nicole. whatever happens next russia's fans we proud of what this team has achieved this is more than they ever dreamed of. and some of those fans there we can see they are daring to dream you know that russia they play croatia next face to denmark how do you make of how they played in that game slightly disappointing from croatia in fact they have been so brilliant in the group games they've course and got that fantastic three no victory over argentina and we didn't see quite as much of that last night the game was a little bit cagey was not much action but what their walls we've managed to bring

together into a live report solicitor. denmark got off to the perfect start as mathias novins and poked his side in front it's not just the second was the but croatia struck back just moments later marry a man zookeepers firing his side level in the fall when it was like a penalty miss from luka moderates set its sights on a penalty shootout the event reckons he's kicked sealed victory for why she was setting up the quarter final showdown with russia it was. now usually if you saw one hundred twenty minutes of football condensed into a short report like that you'd be well within your rights to assume that you missed quite a lot. i can offer you the she's there for a should then mark last night really didn't offer much else to miss there were two goes in the first four and a half minutes and between then and the final fifty five minutes of the second off of extra time it was quite tedious croatia looked like they played nervously for

the first time like i said we've been seeing them playing so i feel asli going out opponents you know as big opponents as argentina maybe taking them apart denmark on the other hand have previous when it comes to defending so it's understandable that that was the tactic that both teams went with it also happens to be the tactic but it is a team at this tournament has perfected that tactic it's russia and that means that it's going to be a big challenge for croatia in the quarter final. had a lot of unexpected ends and that's why i think it's fair to say that anyone's game much the final i think you can do yeah i mean there are no easy matches at this tournament that's what's often said about the world cup but it's really come to by a few teams on the back side they've gone into games against. teams that are regarded as lesser opponents and none of the fixtures have been predictable now so far we've already seen germany spain argentina and portugal crash out of the

tournament those are four teams you know if they if those were the last four teams in the semifinals nobody would be surprised they were top picks and the fact that they're gone means that the chance for a small it seems ready to go is enormous this year so what do we have to look forward to today today we've got brazil against mexico that's definitely going to be a big game you know brazil is classically a huge world cup team but like i said there are no easy games the smaller teams have been unpredictable and mexico could be a stone that brazil trip and later on this afternoon this evening up leave them against japan who you know two teams have also raised some eyebrows at fontwell and that's another exciting day of fixtures lots of action tom janai and i spy stats frank it all down for us thank you. it's. and with that you're up to date now on news i'm sorry kelly in berlin thank you so much for watching have a great day.
