it was so that the person applying for side can be dealt with much more quickly and decisions made but it's not just about to make my certain deportations necessary or nike voluntary repatriation possible to you but we've also said that if you can print they've got a job in germany you go you can come to germany illegally so i think this is an important component that all gone and it's systems and it can be helpful as a prototype agreements with other countries so for example skilled workers immigration arachnoides focuses on our own german interests. but it can also be structured so that it can be helpful when it comes to partnerships and agreements with other countries which is why when it comes to. managing migratory flows better is significant credit from mr bush do you have a microphone near you that's on so that we can take your question. and

so if we cannot hear your question this. hour at a political correspondent peter craven watching this press conference with us peter we should say that you have been to many of these summer annual summer press conferences and you did mention that you know i'm going to call started this is very typical on the american way talking about ordinary issues facing ordinary people yet the questions that we start just face are the ones that have been really dominating the headlines both trans-atlantic relations the pressures facing beyond german borders and also she immediately talks about an international framework very much where you have the world of trump angle of merkel of the european see international politics always based on values based and based on international agreements and can consensus how difficult has it been for her to hold that line which has come very much under fire hasn't she recently donald trump has just marauders across europe. chucking grenades at nato chucking grenades in a number ten downing street are calling germany a foe on the international trade it's tough times for germany very keen to hear

what i'm going to merkel has to say about her relations with donald trump at this point in time and the other issues she was asked about right there is the one that's put her under pressure here at home in our conservative alliance which is migration and she talked about an immigration law what can we expect when talked about for so long here in germany there's always been resistance to it kind of point system maybe they're kind of their australia has into greece integrating foreign workers into their society where the real emphasis is on the integration of those at this point in time it seems more like a stopgap measure here in germany the german the german economy has a shortage of skilled workers so they say we need more skilled workers and immigration law let's try and work it that way it needs to be a much broader based project with affirmative values about immigration and germany being a country of immigration right let's listen back into the chance i understand she's building some questions about the right wing terrorist cell here in germany the national socialist underground. everybody says it has not been concluded because i believe that my job is in another dimension it is not to ensure that

court cases take place in a certain way that's in the area of the judiciary but i need to ensure that there's a conducive environment that ensures that the law enforcement bodies work together better and that we can be sure that what happened in the end as you situation will never happen again. and there's another question at the back. yes. peter put that into context for our viewers we're talking about the n.s.a. as we said this is a right wing terrorist cell that carried out a series of murders that over nearly a decade's time and the only surviving member of that cell received a set of life in prison this week so i think it fits in with what we were just talking about about immigration and integration into german society because this was this was a race rampage over a decade effectively ten people were killed one was

a german policewoman another was of greek origin the other aides were of turkish origin here in germany and that has created much dismay amongst the turkish community here in germany and until america was i think asked about whether she believed that the outcome of the trial went far enough in teaching us about who was involved in this in this killing spree as it is sometimes called over a ten year period and how they managed to get away with it what that tells us about present day german society and the disillusionment of some of the immigrant communities here in germany how do you think that trial in particular is affected the debate over immigration migration i think it's been very dismaying for people because the what happened was that there were the killings began and then the the the force the law enforcement forces there initially put the blame on the turkish community itself they said it was that these were turks killings this these were this were turf wars or gang warfare and it never was and those prejudices that were

exposed in the in the law enforcement sector here in germany as i say were very very dismaying for many people in germany especially in the turkish community the circus german community and this was an example of where the chancellor promised that there would be justice served and a lot of people think and i think you could actually promise that i mean we you know we're talking about them didn't neutrality of the courts you know. she was cautious she was cautious about you know what she said that could have been achieved but i think the this is an investigation it was a criminal investigation but it's also a political and social investigation that will need to go on for. many many years to we really know what is behind this terrible series of killings all right well let's listen in to what the chancellor is saying now. you've talked about social cohesion in the government. and you've talked about deep divisions and our society. i

wonder if you could say a bit more about that. and how your own government policy is perhaps exacerbating these problems or how it intends to solve them as. there's been a part of what we're always facing the problem when we have differences of opinion nice and they will continue to be differences of opinion in the future it's not the last time. one should always have a dispute of this kind the question is always should we have a dispute about these things or should we brush it under the table i feel we should always have an open dispute about this things now it's going it will it can never when i understand that we were distributing these things i can say that the tone was harsh. and i have to say it was you will let the erosion of the language is something i will always try to combat because i believe that language

expresses the way we think which is why we have to be so careful with the language skills and i think you can many have tried to take some of these ideas on board and i believe it's an expression of political culture and it can sometimes exacerbate want to visions and that's the case but any kind of you know avoiding any kind of dispute so that society doesn't even divided that's not the way forward we can only achieve reconciliation in society if we openly dispute the issues that are there and the format. the time could of course be improved. what do you think about the fact that sixty percent of the population do not think that compromise is necessarily the way forward in the government. the view of the album business feeling is that we need to try and get people on board we need to

make people understand that compromises are important and that finding an appropriate compromise can take time it can't go on forever and it has to generate clear results but i believe it's crucial in a complicated world like the one we live in now i mean people just have to look at their lives their home i mean if you're trying to agree on something in a family the bigger the family the more opinions there are and the more complicated is and in a sense the world of politics represents this on a macro level the message is the same if everyone is to have their opinion heard and have a chance to express their opinion you have to take time to ascertain everyone's opinions. and it will always be my approach to say that a compromise is a sensible approach i have always said that compromises are results in which the advantages outweigh the disadvantages on the whole but political decisions are rarely one hundred percent decisions they are often decisions that are made as the

result of a long debate and. this debate this cultural discourse is part of the process and all i will.
