played. i'm sorry someone's going to get to have you with us italy and hungary say they will work together to push for a new hardline policy on immigration in europe hungary and prime minister viktor orban and italian deputy prime minister matteo salvini vow to make migration the central issue in european elections next year the two met in milan to cement their political ties on tuesday. with allies ceding that political alliance with a handshake hungers picture all about the man who built a wall to keep out migrants entering by land and not tell you solve the need who is closely tied in polls to most migrants arriving by sea it's time for leaders who think like them to take control they say. in europe there will be elections in may we want to change. things really new commission and

a new european parliament stand up on him because legally for the protection of borders and stopping migration is only going to make. it what starts today is a new journey that will lead us to a different europe we need to change the european commission european policies and focus on jobs the right to life on how. to. think outside the talks a protest against racism and intolerance these demonstrators are deeply suspicious of the right wing alliance taking shape. and obama trying to break the salvini wants to bring into the out of europe. to the south near rome those caught up in solving these new hardline approach after being prevented from disembarking the it's having coast guard ship to chelsea for five days last week about one hundred migrants arrive at a catholic church facility the standoff between into the in the e.u.

is over in this case but it's only a matter of time before the next migrant ship arrives and something has made it clear he's prepared to lock horns with brussels again. let's bring in our correspondent ben breaker and he is following the story for us from brussels hi there good to see you what does this vowed to work together between italy and hungry on a hard line approach actually mean what could it look like. gathering supports the european union among many member states already of poland the czech republic slovakia austria in this and the migration and outs of germany is shifting actually the german interior minister hosts as a hopeful is also on the same vein even they met a couple of weeks ago in salzburg so and you too in the aid already decided that the aim to fend off migration to deter migration and to close border as is a common name only the means different but this is the direction so the union all

but can push the whole you yet there they are fierce critics of how european immigration policy has worked on till now how are you officials reacting to this pledge to work together. with the commission of migration here buses of course is criticizing italy because it's it's acting unilaterally italy and the european rules to take care of these migrants to take them in but if you says no we won't take anybody this is all it's legal in soviet italy is blackmailing of the e.u. countries this is not a brussels bones of cause brussels one is a long term solution and the relocation mechanism for all countries but it's this is still far away because part of the countries say we don't take any margins anymore but then how united are italy in hungary here they do differ over their views on what should happen to my friends. well but it comes to practical terms the divil a lot because italy actually is to take some migrants from the rescue ships in the

us but hungary says fiercely knows so this sort of buried among nationalists of cause is very limited but they are papering this differences over hungary that says don't let anybody in so there's no need for relocation. all right good he's been freaking reporting for us there from brussels baron thank you. here in germany politicians are searching for answers after a violent far right protest in the city of kennett's the unrest was triggered by the fatal stabbing of a german man allegedly by two migrants from iraq and syria scenes of protesters giving nazi salutes and attacking people they took for foreigners have shocked the country now leaders are asking what can be done to stop it from happening again. violence. hate speech. and illegal gestures these scenes have touched of national debate in germany far right groups taking to the

streets of candidates insisting the city belongs to them not foreignness. video from sunday shows what appear to be vigilante attacks in cabinets targeting people believed to be foreign us. opcode over what. chancellor angela merkel has condemned the violence to stop plots some of them coming no place and no street for these kinds of unrests should the state of saxony need help to uphold the rule of law then the federal government is ready to support saxony regarding this issue he's a father to one of. the fatal stabbing of a german citizen over the weekend sparked the n.t. migration protests police have apprehended two men one from iraq another from syria over the stabbing now officials are also investigating several participants in the protests for giving the hitler salute

a punishable offense in germany. germany's political leaders a facing questions about what can be done about extremist sympathies in the country the problem of right wing extremism has to be on the top agenda of the government in six in the meaning that we have to finance programs. fighting for democracy daily daily daily programs and we have to finance a police. but germany's foreign aid party says the stabbing in candidates and the anger that followed highlight the failures of the country's current approach to migration this is. this is a nationwide story that happened in cabinets but as one can see during emotions average we're in germany and on both sides it is evident that the political class has failed here. for now candidates and the state of saxony remain on edge further protest organized by right wing groups are planned for later in the week.

our political correspondent nina been following the story for us and joins us in our studio nina good morning right wing extremist extremism is not new in germany is politics failed in taking this seriously well of course section sex and is very much in the news right now and we have to also remember that sex in need became famous when father right. movement was founded in dresden so dresden has been very much in the focus now it's. and there are other smaller incidents that have happened in eastern german cities so this is something people are asking where's the link to maybe history to something that happened during east german called me in this times where people were not properly. they didn't learn properly about the disadvantages of totalitarianism but having said that there are lots of people who are cautioning against making selling this as an east german

problem at the same time we can also see the statistics in places where there are fewer foreign knows there's a big fear of foreigners and this is for example this is the case in we saw in a report that politicians are searching for answers and we heard chancellor merkel say there is no place for hate on the streets what do you think her government is going to do well i'm going back to is faced with this challenge of countering and immigration sentiment she is faced with it on the day to day level. far right party won tremendously in last year's federal elections they're now the biggest opposition policy on the national level so they are very much selling this idea of . failed immigration policy the open door policy they call it and so she is trying to take this very seriously she spoke out against right wing extremism her interior minister has come out and later this week a family minister will also travel to chemists to speak to people that exactly

looking at cabinets itself there are supposed to be fresh demonstrations i had as you said politicians will be traveling there what can we expect what we can expect this story to continue for at least a couple of more days because the moment there is a very strong sentiment politicians underestimate what was going to happen the police underestimated what was going to happen they didn't call for enough support they underestimated the possibility to mobilize hooligans also if you travel to kenya it's nationwide so this is probably going to continue for another couple of days all right our political correspondent covering this story for us nina thank you so much for joining us in the studio this morning. now to some other stories making headlines around the world u.s. defense secretary james mattis has said washington will not suspend any further joint military exercises with south korea the move comes during a breakdown in diplomacy with north korea over its nuclear weapons program at

a summit in june president donald trump surprised military planners by suspending the joint drills here officials in puerto rico now say nearly three thousand people died as a result of hurricane maria which struck the u.s. island last year the government previously put the death toll at sixty four although it admitted the real figure was likely much higher the update was prompted by an academic survey. flooding in the south korean capital seoul was killed at least one person after heavy downpours in the wake of. more than sixty people were evacuated around south korea local media reported that seven hundred buildings were flooded. see. me oh i. know. that was just one of the thousands of devoted fans lining up in detroit to pay their last respects to the queen of soul aretha franklin's body is lying in state in her hometown in detroit

a profit funeral will take place on friday the seventy six year old music legend died earlier this month from pancreatic cancer. this is where rita franklin learned to sing her father was the head pastor of the new bethel baptist church while she was growing up. with her upbringing here in detroit and her incredible talent franklin grew into a superstar. and for me to being here i grew up listening to meet the frankly my periods the upliftment to the privilege and the fact that she found the courage this is just an honor she's a hometown hero we love her she's the queen she was an african-american. you know music for. all of that. we appreciate everything that she brought to this cd this is out and gave for the world and never forget where she came along this is why we're here today franklin

is lying in state here at the right museum of african-american history in downtown detroit. despite her worldwide fame she always maintained a strong connection to her hometown and lived here until her time. here in the heart of detroit people have been waiting in line overnight final respects to the theme song people came from as far away as chicago and even new orleans and alabama is a real festive atmosphere here is her music is playing on a loop while people wait and everyone has a story of how she and her music touched not elaborate i was raised on a week of music that i had to come in. like a part of my family her music touches that everybody. here gave us hope when we didn't care for her to give people hope she told us that she slipped out you know. that's what i'm good at it and i love this so much that i heard someone say she's an icon. the making is the leaders she.

should kill. herself. it's indisputable that aretha franklin had a global impact she was a legend in her own time and detroit was proud to claim her as its own. you're watching news still to come a golden statue of turkey's president so is confusion and anger in the german city of the spot and got that story for you in just a few minutes. but first a church service is being held in berlin today with a delegation from namibia part of germany's ongoing efforts to come to terms with a so-called forgotten genocide in the early twentieth century german and german colonial forces in the may be massacred over three quarters of the indigenous population now during today's ceremony germany will return the remains of around twenty victims for some descendants of the nama and herero people it is a sign of progress but many are still fighting for berlin to pay reparations as

well as issue a formal apology capertee reports rome was always in those months or does it mention some of them would chop off the prisoners heads. home and then throw the rest of the bodies in the water to feed the sharks. when i think about this history it makes me sad. for those and bitter. told issuances are well israel cannot is the only herero activist in germany one hundred years since the end of german colonialism the seventy one year old namibian is calling for the german government to take responsibility you are more than just demanding three things in apology recognition of genocide and reparations if you break something you have to fix it was everybody and remember scuppered come october. it was here in berlin that the fate of africa was decided at the eighteen

eighty five conference the continent was sliced up and divided among european powers prior to world war one germany had colonies around the world have to lose in the war german overseas land was in redistributed unlighted d. colonized. millions were affected by the brutality and greed of german colonialism. an attempt to exterminate the herero unama people in german south west africa today namibia resulted in the murder of at least eighty thousand people out of fears of costly reparations german parliament has never officially recognized the murders as genocide but the government has promised of several assessment of the country's colonial history. germany's commissioner to africa is involved in the process doesn't. mean we are of course holding reconciliation talks with namibia right now. trying to formulate what happened

a hundred years ago or more so that we as europeans can apologize for the terrible things that and take responsibility. but also say that this is accepted by the african side so that our future is not because we talk about the past. but what we can do together now. but israel talks excluding herero unama people count for nothing some activists have gone as far as filing a lawsuit in new york against the german government calling for their participation . their return however of some twenty herero unama human remains at a ceremony in berlin's french church is being regarded as at least a step in the right direction if you do those who do i think this is a positive from what isn't good is that it's taking place in a church why not in parliament and then recognize the genocide at the same time

focus more on the like many herero unama activists israel once all planned out work and human remains to be returned to their home country the german government however favors more provenance research by museums. but israel isn't about to give up like mice of his fellow activists his campaign for germany to recognize the murders of herero unama people is genocide is a personal one. i also have german ancestors that means that my history has something to do with germany and i tell you no i will fight until i die. authorities in the german city of the spot have been forced to remove a four metre tall golden statue of turkish president to one of the art installation was intended as a protest against air to one but divided local residents forcing organizers of the local art festival onto the back foot. this gigantic statue in the center

of a spot and was meant as an expression of criticism against the turkish president and his authoritarian form of government the director of the v. spot an art festival sees art as a means to provoke debate as. they certainly appropriate to conceive of that as a controversial figure and one that we're allowed to discuss freely here in this country it's very regrettable that's not allowed in other countries but here we can have a discussion about the stuff she on this my district you know. but some locals fear the ironic statue could fuel conflict in their community and provoke the turkish government more localized. and i don't think it's ok if you ask me it's not it's a provocation and it damages the good relationship between turks and germans. this at yvonne supporter saw the statue as a tribute to his hero prompting a heated exchange with a critic of the turkish president. and you know everyone has their own opinion

which they're entitled to voice and i'm a voice in my mind of mine and that's the kind of man was this isn't an opinion it's a provocation this is a man who has hundreds of people on his conscience oh i phone why. he's got people on his conscience well as he should because he lied i'm told his way to power he's a dictator he is and i picked up doorstep. in the end the debate proved a little too much for the local authorities the statue has been removed with the city council deciding it couldn't provide the security needed to keep it safe. all right we just have one sports item for you a spanish striker. coming to the bundesliga dortmund will pay two million euros to barcelona to get him on loan for the season the german club will have the option of buying a set at the end of the loan he scored fifteen goals and fifty games for barcelona

when it was legal once and the spanish. now a new north american trade deal is in the making but christof it still needs to get a key player on its right soon now it's up to canada to go shirish and the rest of the country will all romaji join a fresh north american free trade agreement and roll resume later on wednesday the atmosphere during initial talks in washington was described as optimistic despite the pitfalls canada's prime minister so far insists on keeping terrorists that are meant to protect the country's dairy farmers u.s. president all trump says these terrorists must go there's a lot it's stake here. between the united states canada and mexico totals more than a trillion dollars. after the u.s. and mexico reached a preliminary agreement signed kind of the two like soon be on board. what's. really leave the a black candidate believe you could lead. to that next.

significant. it's up to their. cars and easy steps. are valuable into canada and the united states at the same time their job know it's interesting. the canadian prime minister said he would only sign a deal that was good for kind but he praised the progress that was being made. we're pushing hard to conclude an agreement that is win win with a modern and progressive agreement that is in line with our values and our ambitions and that will benefit not only canadian businesses but all canadians the u.s. treasury secretary steven minutiae believes an agreement with all to well could come later this week he said the talks have met many people's demands of working with me and are trying to work. this is

a complicated big rayment there's lots of things in here that are whole new i would think again it would be very much on board with stronger intellectual property a stronger protections modernizing the agreement so i'm hopeful that the open issues with canada can be resolved. without a deal to us present almost trumpets threaten to impose tariffs on canadian made vehicles but that could weigh on the automotive sector on both sides of the border because the neighbors rely heavily on each other's parts if talks with kind of wrapped up by the end of this week trump only plans to seek approval from congress for the bilateral deal with mexico. all right let's get some more analysis claimants first who's the president of the for institute one of germany's biggest economic research institutions and he joins me via skype from munich good morning to you sir looking at the issues at hand here the discussions about cars and agriculture are there lessons to be learned for europe regarding a potential trade deal with the us. good morning yes there are lessons i think the

first lesson is that the u.s. is tightening to its bilateral deals and away from macho leftward agreements that makes things more difficult we see that canada is now in a more difficult situation so u.s. trade policy is becoming even more strategic and europe needs to be count all of the other thing is trade deal means opening up european markets as well and opening up markets in sensitive areas in particular agriculture so these will be depicted negotiation about negotiations about the good news is we are talking about free trade rather than talking about increasing tariffs not canada only wants to sign such an agreement if it's a win win win situation for all three parties is that even possible. that is certainly possible everything's better than a trade any trade agreement will be better than increasing tariffs which would be

bad for both sides still we need to see that the u.s. is counting too was heavily regulated trade agreements we are not talking about having regulations on the wages for instance so forty five percent of the chapattis that. on the american market on the us markets we need to be produced using labor with at least sixteen dollars an hour wages so this doesn't make it more difficult in particular for mexico to use its comparative advantage so these are free trade agreements but they are not very free they are highly regulated that's presume a revamped anathema or north american free trade agreement that does come to pass how much of the global trade worries those that would that solve. i think it would. solve all of the worries but it is a change in direction we are all johnny towards new free trade agreements just

a few months ago we were talking about introducing new chariots tromp stopped the pacific agreement so this is really a change in atmosphere are it one gets the impression that trump has understood that just destroying trade flows an increase in chatter is bad for the u.s. . president of the people institute one of germany's biggest economic research institutions thank you for your insight this morning. thank you. the italian pilots union has approved a collective labor agreement with ryanair is the latest breakthrough in the budget airlines efforts to quell staff protests in europe after a deal with irish pilots last week a large majority of the more than three hundred ryanair pilots in italy approved the agreement following eight months of negotiations it ensures better job security isn't pre-conditions strikes by right now pilots across europe have led to the cancellation of hundreds of flights in the past two months.

and a reminder of the top story we're following for you today here on the government prime minister viktor orban and italian deputy prime minister matteo so has said that they will work together to forge an e.u. alliance against migration ahead of european elections next year the two met in the land to cement their political ties and today. you're watching the other news coming to you live from berlin with more coming out at the top of the hour and don't forget you can always get the latest news and information around the clock on our web site that's d.w. dot com for now thanks for watching.
