abroad for the compromise on immigration policy that they hammered out earlier this week that deal followed a bitter that threatened to bring down the government it calls for so-called transit centers near germany's southern border with austria to hold asylum seekers already registered elsewhere in the e.u. those not entitled to settle in germany could be deported merkel is meeting with hungary and prime minister viktor orban for talks here in berlin all one is one of the fiercest critics of chancellor merkel's decision to keep the german border open and has taken a hardline stance on immigration let's bring in melinda crane our chief political correspondent she's covering the story for us hi melinda good to see you so what can we expect from those talks with viktor orban today. we can definitely expect them to be tense these two have been bitter opponents on migration policy in the past after hungary closed its borders to refugees in two thousand and fifteen and erected a wall the chancellor said in his direction that for her as an eastern as

a person who had grown up in east germany behind a wall she would have thought that eastern europeans in general understand that erecting walls and isolating oneself doesn't solve anything but given recent developments here in germany mr orban could well arrive thinking that berlin has shifted in his direction and that in fact he has the upper hand and in fact it is the case that the chancellor has said she only wants to go ahead with deportations of migrants registered in other european union member countries countries on the external boundaries of the e.u. like hungary if those countries of first registry agree she wants agreement from mr orbán he has said he's very ambivalent about giving it on the other hand there are a few things he would like from ms merkel berlin has a lot of say e.u. budgetary negotiations there has been talk of using budget cuts cut funding cuts to

eastern european countries to penalize them both for undermining the rule of law in their countries and also for refusing to take in refugees if there were berlin were to indicate some flexibility about whether it would support such cuts he might be willing to make a deal now melinda as part of those that diplomatic push germany's interior minister what they hope will be a meeting with sebastien cts that's austria chancellor now germany does need austria's cooperation to make this new border scheme work so what will we see there . right austria's cooperation in fact is absolutely vital because this three point plan the the two conservative parties agreed on on monday for c. is that for any migrants who have been registered in countries that refused to take them back that those migrants should be sent to austria and austria said after hearing about this agreement wait a minute nobody talk to us about this and we are not going to take on germany's burdens without some kind of agreement so it's a tough job mr for mr hope for and he has in fact been walking back expectations

today saying he knows it's tough he doesn't expect an agreement to happen today so in fact he seems to now be pushing it toward the chancellor and saying these agreements are going to be so difficult to reach actually they should occur at or the negotiation should should occur at the highest level of government all right tough talks ahead today our chief political correspondent melinda crane for us thank you melinda not some other stories making headlines around the world officials in thailand are warning that rescue workers face a race against water to extract a young soccer team who have spent twelve nights in a flooded case water is being pumped out around the clock reducing the flood level by iran a centimeter every hour but heavy rains are in the forecast and could jeopardize the complex rescue operation heavy rain is continuing to cause severe flooding across central and south western china in who bay province water flooded hundreds of roadside stores and what villagers described as the heaviest down for in years

is an issue these are the privately of course but modes of transport that are available to the public and they're used by different people for that reason we've concluded that they're permissible. in china cameras watch over nearly or public spaces using surveillance software created by companies such as magazine the startup in beijing it's software can identify objects on mistreated and recognize movement patterns or faces the technology has long outdone the human eye on accuracy company spokesperson and religion said. the security services system analyzes facial features and compares them with the database. as soon as a camera catches my features the system looks for my photo in the database and then automatically shows my name and all the information it has about me just because being with it means a citizen see that china's authorities keep secret exactly who's data they enter in

the database but regime critic jungly fun is highly likely to feature he's been surveyed for years. with as. they no longer send agents to trail you the unpleasant feeling of having someone following you around has gone instead they use technology you hardly notice but don't let yourself be fold this still there it's like in george orwell's novel nineteen eighty-four. yeah i want to know just how accurate the software is a transit authority employee takes a photo of me and uploads it into the system then images from six taxis appear mine is not among them. so are the words but all of them are foreigners this man looks of it like you i took a maybe we just need more data from foreigners to improve our accuracy. even

here in china surveillance systems are not perfect but the country is working hard to fix that. reporting their. now the world cup in russia has been as much about the fans as it has been about the teams they've come from all over the world to watch the term and bringing vibrancy and color to moscow and the other host cities for some it wouldn't be a party without a special outfit we followed a trio of fans who wanted to stand out from the rest of the crowd. i'm pretty. these three fans want to dress to impress. on affecting the president not the fans come to us before the game they want to share that love for their teams with these costumes. the employees of this shop have been busy with fans for three weeks they didn't just rent out the costumes they make them in the house and for football fans there's a discount twenty percent off that they have costumes really put us in the party
