needed to be picturesque drama there you go it's all that good ok look i'm rachel join me from meet the germans on the w. . post. this is news coming to you live from berlin a record high for germany's environmentalists. a major opinion poll shows the greens a would come plastic in a national election edging out chancellor macas conservatives i'll be rick missing a major shift in german politics also coming up migrants head to mexico to the u.s.

border but could be the last as mexico tightens controls to avoid the u.s. try to impose tariffs on its goods. and a misreading of this german politician was found dead with a bullet in his head the police say it was not a suicide so cool might have been behind his killing. plus the women's world cup kicks off in france there's so many favorites in the running but it's shaping up to be the toughest and most exciting competition in the tournament history. i'm on with that she welcomed we begin with german politics where new open in polls show for the 1st on the environmentalist green party is ahead of chancellor angela merkel's conservatives it's emerged as the number one party in the nation if elections were held on so. this would be the outcome the greens would come in 1st 2

to 26 percent on the america's conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. bloc forced to 2nd place with 25 percent coming in 3rd to the right wing populist f.t. of 13 percent another joked meccas coalition partners the center left social democrats to 4th place with only 12 percent the market friendly f.t.p. would get 8 percent and the father left left bhatti with 7 percent so what do those results mean a senior political correspondent hans brandt is with me welcome hans surprising on these results and we used to thinking off the green party at one point as a fringe as a nice body but now it's number one in the polls it has for a long time been a single issue party environmental issues that's the basis on which it was founded as the name indicates what's really surprising about this is it coming in in 1st place in other words what's more surprising than the increase in support for the

greens is a decrease in support for the conservatives in other words that the conservatives are being beaten into 2nd place the greens have been on an up since roger year and a half ago or so when we look at the opinion polls before the last german election in 2017 general election at that time it was traditional issues such as migration social justice pensions that kind of thing were top issues and environmental concerns were very far down the list i think possibly because we had such a very hot summer in europe last year everyone felt that environmental issue is in fact affecting them in their daily lives and that's really giving the greens a push ok before we continue let's take a deeper look at how the greens have been doing and what that's taken them to the top spot in the polling for the 1st time. it's been a long time coming for decades in the wings on germany's political stage the greens have come into the spotlight they almost joined on the american government after

the 2017 general elections they won big in recent european elections more than doubling their seats in brussels what's their secret the party leader offered his theory following the european election result. it changes its young people involved immediately you don't have to climb a long ladder before you get hurt instead you can prove yourself quickly that makes us accessible and open to social changes shifts new forms of communication new issues and fresh views. but the greens also find themselves at the right place at the right time though no longer a single issue party they've always been foremost about the environment and it seems enough of the electorate now is to climate change has become a top issue fridays for future has grown from a weekly student strike to an organized movement with political influence meanwhile

the german auto industries diesel cheating scandal has hurt america's climate reputation and her government has had to admit it will fall short of its climate goals this is fertile ground for green momentum but only a national election will show with growing popular support translates into real political power. so the green party's winning support for a number of reasons on the survey indicates agendas believe the green party can deliver better outcomes compared to. which party has the best on says for the future the post as honest we're trying to 7 percent the greens have a massively. americans conservative and 2nd basemen just 12 percent and the coalition partners the center left the social democrats 4 to a devastating 2 percent. how is this or looks like a major shift in how people perceive that political bodies the greens appear to have moved beyond being a single issue party is to be heard in our report and people seem to feel that the

big bodies no longer resonate their concerns yes i think that is the case obviously that has to do with the fact that environmental concerns climate change are at the top of the agenda at the moment and that's simply an issue on which the greens are completely credible something in which they have been consistent for many many years but of course one would only put one's trust in a pot if one has more of a feeling that the party as a whole is trustworthy and on us the other issues as well at the same time there is a major weakness amongst the governing with a still currently governing party the conservatives and the social democrats both are having lots of trouble finding new leaders amongst others that are going to america has decided that she's leaving the political scene within her party there's a fight going on redefining what the party stands for who's going to lead it and so on and the social democrats is even with worse than that so they have no need to do all at the moment and political program is in a shambles i think one has to say under those circumstances it's the greens that

come out on top so how do appear that one reason for the green strength appears to be other bodies weaknesses the opinion polling off this body is not paying enough attention to the issues people really care about and can other results for the governing bodies 77 percent of all voters say that about the c.d.u. and c.s.u. 72 percent have the same verdict on the social democrats. these are a very damning numbers for the governing coalition but let's remind ourselves what does it mean for the greens the greens have been at the national coalition level twice and the leading at the state level in one of the country's states but do we decide rethinking the green party and looking at it as a lot of the political mainstream now yes i think that is there for definitely the case the greens themselves are pretty surprised by the speed with which this is

happening and are saying themselves that are not completely prepared actually to take on this kind of role but one has to say there have been as you say in the coalition with the social democrats early in the century. and left me a lift leaning coalition at that time they are also leading the government in federal state and southern germany there they are cooperating with the conservatives so that means that they are able to form coalitions on both sides of the political spectrum but so far it was the greens who were being asked to enter coalitions with the major parties was turned around oh is that it's quite possible that the greens themselves will be leading such coalitions that they will be choosing coalition partners for a government led by a green chancellor for instance that's completely new so that is in a sense playing the kingmaker in a jail in politics hans bruhn thank you very much for that analysis on the bay interesting opinion poll which is come on come out on jail in political potties. u.s. and mexican officials say they're making progress on

a deal to avert new tabs that president dollar trump is threatening to impose on mexican goods he's trying to increase pressure on mexico to stemming the flow of central american migrants up to the southern border of the united states vice president mike pence says that all those encouraged by mexico's latest proposals the fullest wave in an escalating regime of tablets are still set to take effect on monday. the fear of u.s. tariffs has reached mexico's southern border mexican authorities are sending hundreds of central american migrants back into guatemala every day the government has pledged to deploy up to 6000 troops to stem the flow of migrants headed north despair spreads fast among those being turned away. or we going to go back to our country and saw far we have no choice like killing us back to. an agreement on illegal migration between mexico and the u.s. could see an overhaul of asylum rules across the region with central american

migrants having to seek refuge in the 1st country to enter after leaving their homeland it's thought that would drastically reduce the number of migrants reaching the u.s. border. mexico has repeatedly rejected the so-called safe 3rd country agreement but the increasing pressure could make the country buckle. i hope we reach an agreement. i'm confident that we will reach a deal. put in place the unilateral measures expected to start on monday but. this. due to its strategic location free trade agreements and low wages mexico has become an attractive destination for international companies companies that would all be hit hard by the tariffs. according to donald trump they would start at 5 percent and steadily rise to $25.00.

minutes and you go this is because the decision mike is they don't have a red line that the united states is violating the rules of the free trade agreement. that the. struggling to a piece u.s. decision makers mexico has broadened its migration crackdown in recent days not only turning back but also detaining hundreds of migrants and freezing the bank accounts of suspected human traffickers. but there is a risk none of the measures will be enough for donald trump despite mexico's efforts many in washington still expect the tariffs to go into effect on monday. doctrine when the mission joins me from lancaster university he specializes in latin american politics welcome dr michelle no we heard mexico's phone could deploy an extra 6000 troops to stem the flow of migrants would that be enough to avert the imposition of escalating tabs being proposed by president truong. well

not necessarily because you have to look at the front here and it is very poor is it is mountainous it's full of jungles and we're only talking about true office and entry points and they are the city of copper to la and city of tenn care on the mexican side these are the 2 entry points where they can be deployed but what about . the mountains of forests so there will be a steady trickle of migrants who can escape these 6000 national troops who have been sent there and the other thing that you have to remember here is that the united states was also considering sending the home and security officers to go with them on site so they can also try and stop the flow of migrants from there and so there is a quote innocent between the mexican side and the good somalian side supported by the department of homeland security then there may be some kind of progress on that

front part of the words i do see the migration halting of the states so given all of this one of the prospects that the u.s. and mexico can dissolve this immigration issues which have put such a strain on their relations. well the truth is that this is no longer a problem for the united states it's also a problem for mexico it is an internal security so now it is a hybrid conflict one could say because obviously those who are migrating from central asia sort of central america and or the parts of the walled have not necessarily refugees so the mexican state doesn't harbor nubile against them provide them with economic sustenance or habitation and so on and so forth so throughout mexico you can find these people live you have and that is putting a great strain on the economy on the listen see between the citizens and the outsiders and also we have to remember that there is a massive doff water going on so far as the narcotics is concerned and with these

increasing evidence that many of these migrants are also becoming a part of that space nexus and that is very worrisome for mexico so it is in the interest of both united states and mexico in the long to stem it. and documenting the mission from lancaster university thank you very much for that assessment and. let me now bring you up to date but some of the stories making news around the british prime minister to resign may stepping down as leader of the conservative party today but she remained prime minister until a successor is chosen me announced her resignation 2 weeks ago 11 conservative lawmakers are now in the race to replace him as the party head and ultimately as the next prime minister. more bodies have been recovered along the danube river in hungary following last week's collision between a sightseeing boat and

players from immortality the usa have won the world cup 3 times making them the most successful country in the competition is history but they've never retained the trophy the team has the quality to do just that based on the round of striker alex morgan is one of the best goal scorers in the world and she has support from stars like megan rapinoe and carl you know it they are defending champs but at the same time i think the game has the ball so much i think that there's going to be challenges that present itself in there in france the u.s. could. well come up against a familiar. they face japan in the last 2 world cup finals. he will lead the team at her 3rd world cup she scored the winning penalty when japan took home the trophy in 2011 guy has an extra motivation to repeat those heroics she plays her club football in leone where the final will be held on the 7th of july.

germany to have a star in their ranks creative midfielder jennifer marijan will be one of the key players for the 2 time champions in front of her captain alexandrov part will have to be on top form for germany to have a chance of a triumph the 3rd title would be a monumental achievement for coach martina limbaugh given that she only took over the site earlier this year. we have to look at france but also england spain and the usa japan have shown time and again that they raise the game at tournaments there's the scandinavians we as germany always get mentioned the netherlands are european champions i've already mentioned so many teams. indeed the former champions are all in contention to win football's biggest prize but with this year's world cup promising to be the most open tournament ever many sides will arrive in france dreaming of glory. full of contenders that
