european concert. to. be. visited upon us live from berlin fighting for political survival our german chancellor angela merkel holds a crisis talks with have a very and conservative columnist as she tries to end the dispute over migration the interior minister has threatened to resign we'll tell you what's at stake also on the program samba time at the world cup in brusha brazil have freights a tournament for the finals thanks in part to star not about to score the first goal of the game to send his country through against mexico.

and phil gramm welcome to the program will start with some breaking news just raising us here at the temple of thirteen people trapped in a flooded cave in thailand have been found alive the twelve boys and their soccer coach went missing in a cave in chiang rai province nine days ago navy divers have been trying desperately to reach the a since. germany's government is in crisis as a feud over migration threatens i'm going to macros coalition. the chancellor and her interior minister jose hoffa have just been meeting with the president of the german parliament and the conservative leadership is expected to begin further talks at this hour the interior minister sparked the crisis by pushing for a chance of america to adopt a harder line on migration on sunday he repeated his threat to quit her insistence on an eight you solution is resignation could lead to the breakup of the decades long conservative alliance and potentially rock the chancellor's government of its

parliamentary majority. angela merkel left alone. german interior minister and party leader of the c.s.u. the but very insisted 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. which i will mention. 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 hosty hoffa isn't about to back down quietly after a long meeting of his party delegates say whoever threatened in the early hours of monday to step down is interior minister as well a c.s.u. party leader. sort of said the 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. . to an official in the room with the two of you with. 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. and. my patience is wearing thin. so i'd miss it sounds i'm doing. parties in the opposition equally stunned by the escalation to try for answers and i doubt that the government will be able to work normally again they might save themselves from this face seal for will probably resign i suspect he won't get away with this he also quite a coalition is ending after only one hundred days the c.s.u. has basically accused the chancellor of mistrust and perhaps a discussion between coalition leaders in berlin later today will finally cool the heated debate between the union parties. political correspondent melinda crane who is outside the building headquarters of i'm going to see you welcome melinda and interior minister have been meeting with the presidents of the german parliament and the news. though no news on the

results of that meeting yet and in fact they are continuing to meet here at c.d.u. party headquarters also with other members of the top leadership of both parties and you can be certain they will be looking very hard to try to find a face saving compromise to this conflict both parties saying very very clearly throughout the day that they want to find a compromise they want to preserve their nearly seven decade long sister could not least because it's crucial for the varying conservatives if they want to have any power at all on the national stage but i have to say it's still hard to see what a compromise that could look like that would keep mr say home for in his post as interior minister because he has made it very clear that he does not intend to back down on his demand that he be allowed to proceed to unilaterally to turn back refugees as we heard in that report the chancellor meanwhile has reiterated today

that any approach to tighten european migration policy must be a europe wide approach a multi lateral approach so on the substance they're still there e far apart so you say you set out the arguments on both sides of. cross last week were saying that sunday was the deadline and if you didn't get what he wanted by yesterday he would go he would preach about threat yesterday he's still there so why is he still that what does he really want. very good question one compromise option would be for him to go his party would remain in government and the whole conflict could. the result but in fact the stand that he has taken essentially associates his personal political career with his party's fate you could say that it has become a personal matter for him a matter of saving face he clearly wants to continue the standoff with the

chancellor and and actually said that his decision not to resign last night was a concession to her as if she would benefit from that a peculiar statement indeed and and in fact one that makes it very very difficult to find any kind of a face saving compromise here although members of the chancellor's conservative bloc certainly have tried to find ways of deescalating this conflict not least by saying look the european union moved significantly at its summit last week toward a tighter approach to migration not least because of the pressure that the c.s.u. put on that was an olive branch but the c.s.u. and mr say how far haven't wanted to take it so far. stay with us if you take a look at the options facing. yes you do actually withdraw from the coalition. flits medicals variances the party decided to pull out of the

coalition. it would leave the chancellor without a majority in parliament but here's what could happen next. medical c.d.u. and her coalition partner the social democrats could go it alone and continue to govern without a majority but i'm sure in the lengthy negotiations to form the current government merkel 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 only be the environmentalists greens. or the business friendly free democrats it's unlikely that machall would be able to remain chancellor in this scenario.

if the varian conservatives were out of the coalition there would technically be a majority in parliament against machall 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. 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 i thought to melinda crane in berlin melinda is this instability in german's government having any wider international affects. it's absolutely damaging the credibility not only of the very in conservative party but

of the chancellor herself and of the german government and that at a time when the european union and to argue hopefully the international community need a strong europe and strong leadership within europe and that in fact has come from america and from germany in recent years and it's it's looking like it's not there anymore so absolutely and that at a time when as i say the turbulence on the international stage makes stability and strength absolutely crucial. in the crate thank you. for. bringing more now on the breaking news of the program with thirteen people trapped in a flooded cave in thailand have been found alive the twelve boys and their football coach went missing in

a cave in chatham right province nine days ago navy divers trying to reach them have a sense so let's go to florida nor should the thai capital bangkok welcome florida so what more can you tell us. well this is definitely the. information the news that pretty much all of thailand has been waiting for for nine days now and even though hopes were still high here. it was not really realistic to find the boys anymore that's at least what a lot of people here on the street said and it was actually due to a chaotic search that started out and there were different maps being used so the left helping hand didn't know what the right helping hand would do and there was a lot of criticism for it but after a few days international helpers poured in they were helpers from britain they were helpless from australia from the u.s. from neighboring countries and they apparently they made the difference and they

actually with the help of the thai soldiers that were there in masses there were about a thousand soldiers that were searching for the boys and have been searching for the boys for nine days now but apparently they found them just a few minutes ago so there's not that much information yet so i don't know if it was the divers that actually went in or if it was part of the people that actually tried to find sort of a back entrance is the cave that had been drilling new entrance is into the cave apparently the boys have been found about four hundred meters away from the from the spot that everyone thought they would be found but from what we're hearing and what the chiang rai governor has said all the boys are fine and now it's just a matter of getting them out which i don't know but it might still take a few days because depending on how the rescuers actually found them they might have to be. taken out through the water and i guess that's difficult if you have

someone who's not an experienced diver to actually get out of the water but we'll see we'll have to wait for that everyone is happy to see the boy that they are see the boy that they are safe in the house been there. the rescue sites have been quite stoic about it this must have come as great news for them. definitely and there have been heart rendering scenes there have been buddhist monks celebrating performing rituals the parents would camp outside even though it has been pretty much incessantly poor ring down there so this whole area was basically a flooded area there was mud there was rain but they wouldn't get away from the entrance to the cave because they were waiting and praying for their boys to come home safely and apparently. this is what just has happened even though the boys are

not out of the cave yet but they're safe. by florida in bangkok thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world french president emmanuel mccraw has arrived in the monetary union on the final day of the african union summit was greeted by his mauritanian counterpart of general abdel aziz the security issues will be high on the agenda especially the challenges facing the french backed g five have forced task of fighting jihad is the surgeons and criminal groups in africa region. iran's president hassan rouhani has arrived in switzerland for talks on the future of the nuclear deal between iran and international western european cultures china and russia trying to salvage the agreement after the u.s. pulled out in may under the daily rounds promised to curtail nuclear activities in return for an easing of economic sanctions. that is presidential candidates undress

manuel lopez obrador has one sunday's election official projections put him on track to win more than fifty three percent of the vote with a vote as rejecting the two major parties that have governments go for nearly one hundred years the president opened a door made to fighting corruption essential campaign pledge and his promise to help the country's poor performing bear of mr city's been runner up in two previous presidential elections and has also been a shock critic of u.s. president donald trump despite this directive president used his victory speech to hold out an olive branch. this. we will cost you a relationship or friendship and cooperation with the united states. always rooted in mutual respect and in the defense of our fellow mexicans who live and work on ripley in that country. is good movement leader

because for them to feel harms our duty in mexico city well from a failure so look has offered all will be the most left leaning mexican leader for decades what voters towards him and away from the established parties. well mainly the big corruption the violence the crime that no parties so far no politician have been able to fight as a rather has promised to break down what he calls the power mafia that holds great of mexican society and some of his proposals to end corruption are cutting high ranking official salaries he even wants to cut his own salary as a president to the house he wants to sell the presidential plane and turn for example the presidential palace into a park all of these measures to start fighting this huge corruption that is affecting mexico for so long and many will see in him what no one has done before and probably just taking a chance on

a leftist for the first time and how does he stomp out corruption how does he take on mexico's drug cartels given the country's. police and law enforcement agencies. well one of the very controversial proposals that he made during his campaign was to cut two to grant amnesty to some chop through uk leaders criminal leaders that was very controversial but he did not present a specific plan on how to actually fight the violence and crime in organized crime that is involved in all levels of politics especially in rural areas but something he wants to do differently than others is that he's opening a door to legalizing drugs he also says we what we see is that he wants no confrontation with the criminal organization he doesn't want to keep the war on drugs as his predecessors did and he even suggested to take out the military from

police like work against these mafias in mexico. so what does this victory. for all of us over there actually wrote a book against donald trump but what we heard from him last night in his victory speech is that he was very much looking forward to working with him we also saw that donald trump congratulated him so the relationship will not be as bad as many predicted. something that people some analyst have been saying is that they are actually quite similar and there are not only outsiders but they are both economic nationalists and as a writer will probably try to stand up to donald trump. towards his migration policies but he does know how important trade agreements like nafta are and he

already has someone who will be negotiating this deal with the u.s. and canada. mexico city thank you. as for tonight's top story germany's crisis is hit with the economic perspective it's time to fill is pretty tricky a lot of countries look to germany for leadership and economic leadership as well basically there are so many big global issues to deal with right now that they which could have big economic impacts that trade is a quite nervous about the political situation here the german dax sliding today mirroring that sentiment live to frankfurt in a moment but first here is what economist got the fed the maya had to say about a prolonged political crisis in germany. so many things where he ripped needs german leadership there's so many crisis out there be it the trade

war against europe the urgent reform of the eurozone and that means if germany force itself another here of paralyzes or of stays is that would really be costly it would involve an enormous amount of uncertainty not just for germany itself but for the entire european union and we are in no situation to be able to afford that. and let's get the take from call my boos in our financial correspondent in frankfurt comrades is it all that dramatic i mean germany is in a very strong economic position. that's true ben germany's economy is strong but germany's economy is also one of the most interconnected in europe which means that it's really depending on smooth easy relationships with its neighboring countries. the countries that germany does most of its business with notwithstanding the fact

that we are exporting so many goods and services also to other places in the world that's why it's so such an important dispute for businesses to follow and that's and i can tell you that if you talk to people here that don't really like to talk about potentially cloves in the borders in germany. so how confident are investors that merkel could save the day. well as you know america really has a reputation of being very strong manager of crises so also here if you talk to people on the trading floors a majority of them are convinced that also this time will make it and manage this crisis but also obviously her authority is waning and also here in germany it has become much more difficult to argue for a liberal case to argue for some of the fundamental achievements of the european

union which is open borders the free movement of people of goods and services a legacy of germany stays open and open for business and there in frankfurt things . taking on a flood of cheap chinese steel a prospective new metals giant is trying to correct the imbalance in world markets . and india's tata have agreed to merge their european still making operations after two years of talks regulatory approval is still to come along with job cuts. the joint venture comes in response to the problem of overcapacity on the global steel market as the new firm which will be known as crop tata steel will become europe's second largest steelmaker air. defense is really the issue to move successfully forward. globally existed as if he had also cost tremendous additional imports into europe imports into europe all time high level

which if the increased the price pressure on that much. to tie up is expected to result in about four thousand job cuts and savings of hundreds of millions of euros each year the mad scramble employ some forty eight thousand workers in countries including germany the netherlands and the u.k. and it's expected to generate an annual revenue of around fifteen billion euros. the world cup in russia favorites brazil come for the big beating mexico kind of client is here to take a story to. brazil games over what happens there quite effective shutting out the mage at the most once in madrid i mean mexico of course offense and it took them fifty one minutes to actually open the scoring neymar scoring that opening goal and mexico did fight back they try to score the same name as goal right now

a top team from close range. going to try to fire back in the last couple minutes but they failed and they will actually they have a couple chances which they will be quite upset that they missed the second goal of the evening because brazil want to know was from brevets a familiar of liverpool in the eighty eighth minute which now means of course that is this is seventh time that brazil advanced the cause of final stage of the world cup some time the row i'm brazil of course a step closer to a record six title indeed it be foolish if you didn't bet on brazil to win this title they do have the harder route to the final i mean they are now in the quarterfinals no play either belgium or japan and then the semifinals the other face provided they build people to one of those two teams france or you're a guy so they do the path is there it's not particularly easy but if you want to win the world cup you need to be the best and that's. to brazil to feel that route so yesterday's result means hosts russia now face croatia in the quarterfinals how do they look in that game against and they're missing the razzle dazzle we've seen

in the first two games of the tournament when they beat nigeria to know when they when they thumped argentina three no to the surprise of many yesterday's performance wasn't quite didn't quite have the quality that we've seen but we'll have a look at it. denmark got off to the perfect start as mathias your vincent hoped to side dish the second was but croatia struck back just moments later to keep firing his side level in the middle was like a penalty mr luker moderate said it's tied to a penalty shootout event record teaches sealed victory for the way she was setting up the quarter final showdown with russia. so this is the first time since one thousand nine hundred eighty six that two games were decide on penalties on same day creation however on this on this particular game overall just that much better than denmark and i see them going over to the finals going to because their best players look a moderate huge even rockets which merriman's you catch cliques and they're

fantastic players for their clubs but they're not playing for themselves actually you can see they're playing for their country which is a very good omen in the latter stages of this tournament it's a bit a pill to swallow the casbah smikle the demarc goalkeeper because he saved three of the six penalties he faced one in extra time to go to the penalty shoot out and two more so a man of the match performance from him but question held their nerve in advance to face russia in the quarter final yeah but russia facing russia with the huge support huge hopes support of russia fans behind absolutely in the russian fans are the twelfth man on that pitch but my gut feeling says that creation will win that time but i've underestimated russia throughout this whole tournament so don't trust my worst the russian remind me of germany in two thousand and six when a team which was expected to do much managed to reach the semifinals i can see russia doing a similar thing so my logic says croatia win the game but with their fans backing russia can do you still need to make with a little thank you for. it's time to remind you of our out top stories at

this hour the same people a truck in a flooded cave in thailand has been found alive patrol boys on their football coach went missing in the case or in that channel right province nine days ago promises governor says rescuers will assist the group until they can of course ops i'm out of the trade which is still sold off nose. to jump shots i've been matchless fighting for her government survival as the conservative leadership post hopes to resolve a dispute over migration policy on sunday night interior minister between two sets of preside over the issue a move that could cost a coalition it's politics free but you are sick. sick sad your update more of course of the top of the hour. online all the time i d w dot com come today.
