10:09 am
one hand there is more of. a possibility of moving from the asylum side of coming in to germany to becoming more official officially accepted in germany and on the other hand this official acceptance in june is going to become easier for people that are currently outside germany also of the european union and want to come and work if they have the required skills in the required language language performance germany currently does not have a comprehensive immigration law but rather just a patchwork of policies that many say are not coherent are we witnessing the current government developing this more comprehensive approach is i think you can say that this is the first step to a more comprehensive approach german the german economy is doing very well at the moment and it does need a lot of skilled workers and these are not available within germany in recent years
10:10 am
they've come mostly from the european union obviously that is not a problem of toll but that migration from the group of european union to germany is also. being reduced germany need skilled workers and it's not going to try and make it a lot easier for people from outside the european union actually to come to germany now the governing coalition has also announced a deal that should prevent a ban on diesel cars in major german cities that could have been imposed it seems the government is no help being able to work together the three parties in the coalition government they've not been very harmonious to date are we seeing are we seeing a new way of working well i mean that's been under a lot of pressure all this bickering within the government of the pa six months or so has led to the polls showing that the governing party is a very very doing very badly in public stand in the public standing and they ought

10:20 am
a defense all the same it has a cruise to it to know went on friday despite the setback coach nico covert she's the head of the clash with iraq's. suppose you have to stay positive after a draw and a defeat you can't just throw everything it's a question when things were going well the forehand there was optimism among every single player and also myself and the expectation is that we will win our coming games. and robin will expect to play against his fellow dutchman as buy and look for a creative spot clearly lacking in the last week. the game at the allianz arena gives five time winners buy on the chance to make it two victories from two in the champions league but four times when his eye x. will be tough customers and believe they can spring a surprise. it would just be calm and believe in our qualities you know we'll be very. because buying these one of the best teams on the board and for sure can do
10:21 am
that for. champions league to be champion but we need to. to believe in our philosophy by and face a tricky obstacle in that bid to rediscover their best form. so business is no helena and she's looking at the future of diesel in germany that's right the future of diesel potentially decided last night six hours of late night talks and wrangling. a deal has been reached germany's governing coalition has agreed on a plan to prevent diesel powered vehicles from being banned in the country's most polluted cities details all to be released later and are expected to cash incentives to replace older models as well as retrofit calls for adoption in diesel pollution ramps up in the wake of the diesel a crisis when it's emerged that a number of german car makers were producing vehicles which pumped out emissions well above legal levels chancellor angela merkel probably hadn't counted on
10:22 am
a meeting that would go on into the night she and transport minister and today i show you how to aim to avoid new bans on diesel cars but it took more than six hours before the three coalition partners were able to agree on a compromise so far they've revealed little about its contents but it does seem merkel got her way the concept is reportedly intended to stop cities from banning access to older diesel vehicles that had been gaining momentum hamburg has closed off to roads because of increased nitrogen oxide emissions and other cities such as stuttgart and frankfurt had already threatened to impose large scale driving bans car owners are worried use diesel is have lost much of their resale value this is about five years old driven less than fifty thousand kilometers not long ago it would have been a highly desirable used car but the problem is it only meets an older environmental standard threatened by the new driving benz. these look these are since the diesel
10:23 am
prices prices have taken a tumble to be able to sell them they had to be reduced by several thousand euros. but even a discounted diesel isn't much help for drivers hoping to get to work in the city center the government placed its hopes in a technical solution retrofitting diesel engines a car like the seattle could be equipped with what's known as an s.c.r. catalytic converter manufacturers could reportedly cover most of the conversion costs but it's not clear this was in the agreement. the manufacturers of these retrofit systems have to guarantee this will not lead to engine damage carmakers will not pay for that. on the market they opt to stock on the thing that could leave them open to huge costs another approach the government has been investigating would be premiums for owners of older diesels to buy new models that could reportedly amount to as much as ten thousand euros per car but what is
10:24 am
actually in the agreement will only become known later in the day. so for more on this let's get the latest with our correspondent in frankfurt. we just heard that one approach would be premiums for as a whole the diesels to buy new models we're talking ten thousand euros per car without enough to take care of the problem. ten thousand euro sounds really great but it isn't actually that much considering how much of a bargain discount you can usually get at new car sales and of course you won't get ten thousand for a small sized car that will only be for premium cars french carmaker renault has already said this morning that they will offer these kind of premium so that shows how how easy this is and it's already been tried before in twenty seventeen pretty much the same offer was made to diesel owners and it only got about two hundred
10:25 am
thousand people to switch and trade in their cars so that wasn't that successful because most people won't be able to afford a new car despite these premiums they're going to have to look at retrofitting at getting their their car fixed and they won't be willing to pay that believing that car makers are really the ones who are responsible for making our era dirty and the other options on the table. long term all of this isn't going to be enough we're going to have to think rethink that mobility and tiredly the problem is if we have less diesel we're likely to have more fuel cars and that will mean more rise in c o two once again which the e.u. is also trying to put its thumb down on so that doesn't take care of the problem we're going to have to look at more electric cars and car makers german car makers have them lined up but most of them aren't ready for a market yet the industry is terribly slow moving and even the ones
10:26 am
that are in the market are pretty expensive and the infrastructure is difficult for people who want to buy an electric car they often can't find a charging station nearby so they're not going to buy one right now financial correspondent. in frankfurt and. paris made to show opens today with electric. calls set to go on the mass market is a chance to see what will soon arrive in showrooms dima c.r.d. to ship presented the key you see the car makers first all electric vehicle it goes on sale next year the new factories have invested billions the new battery production has regulators clamped down on vehicle emissions but analysts worry consumers aren't willing to pay more in volume a lecture calls with concerns about range and those lack of charging the cities. now could cryptocurrency be the secret to saving venezuela's ailing economy
