this is the news live from berlin a showdown over migration throws germany's government into crisis interior minister jose hoffa c.s.u. parties due to meet with chancellor merkel seem to you in this hour as the conservative alliance tries to mend fences it's a hole for has threatened to resign of the chance was migration policy. out of the world cup croatia book that sponsor the quarter finals from using past deadlock and a penalty shoot out to face hosts russian.

welcome to the program germany's government is in crisis as a feud over migration threatens on america's ruling coalition the chancellor and her interior minister jose hall for just been meeting with the president of the german parliament and the conservative leadership is expected to begin holding of the talks in this hour spot the crisis by pushing for chancellor merkel to adopt a harder line on migration on sunday he threatened to quit over her insistence on seeking an e.u. solution to the problem is resignation could lead to the breakup of a decades long conservative alliance and potentially rob the chancellor's government of its palm entry majority. i'm going to merkel left alone. german interior minister and party leader of the c.s.u. the bavarian sister party to merkel's c.d.u. was absent from the conservative parliamentary group meeting on monday germany's

conservatives are falling apart at the seams but merkel's conservatives remain optimistic. i think whoever has good intentions will in the end find a compromise so i say is deputy party leader we also support our party to angela merkel because she has good arguments and then. the dispute is about the details of germany's migration policy the bavarian c.s.u. party wants to turn away migrants who have already registered in another e.u. state or have already applied for asylum. the chancellor has always made it clear that this wouldn't be part of germany's migration policy something she reiterated once again to her own conservatives earlier today but the c.s.u. boss and german interior minister hosts a hoe for isn't about to back down quietly after a long meeting of his party delegates say hoover threatened in the early hours of

monday to step down as interior minister as well the c.s.u. party leader. sort of said that both posts will be fake and that this will happen in the next three days and that we will now again take an intermediate step to reach an agreement with the c.d.u. . it's wonderful because if you of. both parties want to try again today to find a compromise to save the conservative parliamentary group the social democrats or s.p.d. the third party in germany's governing coalition has been watching in disbelief from the sidelines it's been brought out i'm ready to continue with this government but there must be some action from the c.d.u. and c.s.u. . my patience is wearing thin. parties in the opposition are as equally stunned by the escalation to try to insist that the government will be able to work normally again they might save themselves from this

phase will probably be resigned i suspect he won't get away with this because of course the coalition is ending after only one hundred days the c.s.u. has basically accused the chancellor of mistrust and the hats the discussion between coalition leaders in berlin later today will finally cool the heated debate between the union parties. so three sets of new things to happen today the first of those between a wholesale for the chancellor the president of the german parliament has been hopping in the last. chief political correspondent belinda crane who's at the headquarters but i'm going to michael's c.d.u. welcome milind what's news from these meetings. no news yet and in fact the meetings go on there will be many meetings in the course of this evening that first meeting was with the president of the parliament he is very highly respected both by angela merkel's c.d.u.

her branch of the conservative party and also by the varian conservatives so he will have been acting in a kind of a mediation resume but we don't know results and then the meetings will continue right here in cd you headquarters scheduled to begin right now and basically both sides will certainly be looking for a compromise we're told that they are taking this matter very very earnestly indeed and there were a vowels both from the chancellor c.d.u. and from the varian c.s.u. that they want to keep the party's long term decades long sisterhood together that they want to maintain it but. we've also heard both sides essentially saying that they are standing on principle neither one indicating a real willingness to give in on substance and that substance is essentially on the one hand the chancellor saying that any change any tightening of migration

policy of european borders including germany's border must be done through a european wide multilateral approach whereas her interior minister the head of the c.s.u. ms to say ho for is saying no he wants to proceed unilaterally to send back refugees who have been registered already in other european union countries the countries on the external boundaries of the e.u. so the standoff remains we're told a very small group of members from both parties has been looking to whether they can find a compromise that would include a few concessions to the c.s.u. position but the chancellor actually has said along with the c.d.u. party leadership they are not ready to give in on this central point this is an odd standoff where the interior minister who a week or so ago said but he he would resign if sunday came and he didn't have what

he wanted yesterday he repeated his threat to resign but he's still there so what does he really want. it seems that he wants the chancellor to bend to his will and it seems that as well that his attempt to save face has become essentially a personal battle for him that he can no longer separate his party from his own personal political career since as we heard in that report he said that he views his willingness to reconsider resignation a concession to the chancellor so indeed it is it is a very peculiar early personal battle at this point and there is no question whatsoever it is damaging not only the bavarian conservatives but the government as a whole political stay with us if you will let us now take

a look at the chance of us options if wholesale hoffa does pull his party out of the coalition. if medicals bavarian system party decided to pull out of the coalition. it would leave the chancellor without a majority in parliament here's what could happen next. medco c.d.u. and her coalition partner the social democrats and it could go it alone and continue to govern without a majority but i'm sure in the lengthy negotiations to form the current government machall already made it clear that this is not a route she would be keen to take. to avoid a minority government the c.d.u. and the social democrats could look for a new coalition partner this could really be the environmentalists greens. of the

business friendly free democrats it's unlikely that machall would be able to remain chancellor in this scenario. if the bavarian conservatives were out of the coalition that would technically be a majority in parliament against magical if all the parties in the bundestag got together they could table a vote of no confidence against her this is unlikely however given the huge divides between them. all finally new elections could be called again this is not a scenario many would relish the last general elections were held less than a year ago and it took months to form a new government so it's hard to see how fresh polls would bring more stability. so these are really all seen as a surge early and indeed the international public is not used to seeing here in

germany let's go back to the douglass chief political correspondent melinda crane belinda how is the public the german public reacting to all this political brinkmanship. as far as we can see from the polls and from the interviews we've done with people on the street with exasperate sixty seven percent of germans said in a poll released this morning that they think that mr is a hole for the interior minister and the head of the varian christian social union the bavarian conservatives say he's acting absolutely irresponsibly and sixty nine percent of germans say that they agree with the chancellor that there must be a union multilateral european wide solution to the challenge of migration and not a go it alone approach by germany so we have the public viewing holes a whole acting irresponsibly one wonders why the chancellor just doesn't rate herself of this turbulent priest why did she don't just sack him. because

theoretically that could provoke his party to take themselves out of the governing coalition altogether setting in motion one of those scenarios that we just saw in that report namely the coalition would then not have a majority in parliament anymore and potentially new elections would have to be called and that would probably be the end of the chances last term in government that would deeply rock not only germany but the european union at a whole at a time when cohesiveness determination and leadership could not be more important the question we will doubtless speak again and again through the course of today richard well for now thank you. i was always the world cup there is no. brazil battling it out with mexico. and on

sunday the light clash so croatia take on denmark for a spot in the quarter finals after three outstanding matches in the group phase croatia are one of the favorites to win the tournament but there. able to spark against that deadlock in the game went to penalties. denmark got off to the perfect starts as mathias you'll concede his side from the top to just the second was but croatia struck back just moments later a man to keep firing his side level in a few minutes was like penalty misirlou for moderates set its sights on a penalty shootout even reckons he's kick sealed victory for the place you're setting up the quarter final showdown with russia. russia took on spain also temped as tournament win this but the spaniard struggled to find a way through the hosts defensive wall. when marco asensio swung in a deep free kick on the on sergio ramos made himself

a nuisance surrogate matter of it was overwhelmed and an unfortunate goal sourced by going to front the but the hosts put themselves back in the corner shortly before half time was met with a hand boom from gerard piqué the referee gave a penalty which also in juba smashed to bring russian that i am incredibly moment for the hosts in front of him in one thousand travel was and they continued to grind through the second half and extra time with the favorites finding no really this one was destined to go the distance. it was the russians who had their nerves converting throughout so for penalties was when ego acking fayad saved for the second time this incredible upset was complete russia continue to write history five dead dream world cup campaign marches all of the was in cycling tour de france champion chris froome can't race in this is a french classic cycling's world governing body the u.c.i.
