this is g.w. news coming to you live from berlin a record high for germany's environmentalist green party a major opinion poll shows the greens will get the most votes in a national election edging out chancellor macas conservatives are we witnessing a major shift in german politics or so coming up. migrants head to mexico to the u.s. border but they could be amongst the last as mexico tightens concurrency to avoid the u.s. threats to impose tariffs on its goods. and the women's world cup kicks off in

france feel so many favorites in their running but it's shaping up to be the toughest and the most exciting competition in the tournament history. and unwelcome i wonder if that shima the greens the political high flyers in germany right now in sports you would say they have the momentum and they of germany were to hold a general election next sunday it would show a truly historic result for the very 1st time the greens would get the most votes 26 percent of america's conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. bloc would be right behind between 5 percent then comes the rightwing populist f.t.v. with 13 percent merkel's a current coalition partners the center left social democrats would drop to 4th

place with only 12 percent the market friendly f.t.p. would get 8 percent followed by be left with 7 percent. joining me from the organization that conducted the civic intra test the map is. good welcome to you know how surprising is the rise of the greens which is also reflected in the recent european elections. well we were not thoroughly surprised when we had the results of the european elections because we've made possible the vote as you know it's it was the main reason for your choice of doctor ex-president and the main reason is climate climate change and try to guess it and you know we had so many demonstrations of young students in the road that everybody now thinks that's the main issue we have to tackle in germany ok we'll come back to you in just a minute but 1st let's take a deeper look at how the environmentalist's explain the success our report begins

with today's find find if a future demonstrations here in berlin. demonstrators have been protesting for weeks to get the politicians to act on climate change many think the green party has at least some of the answers does that explain the support for the greens. vertically invite would vote green i think the greens have the best goal. the best thing you know how do you think of my i think many people see them as an alternative if you feel it also the lesser evil or that's claimed so many they have fresh ideas and they stand up for the environment and done everything in advance barely only a political force who are doing anything at least i say that idealism. in the recent year of p. and elections green parties more than doubled their seats in brussels in germany they took one in 5 votes giving them the 2nd highest support of any party greens

leader robert hobbit thinks he knows why. the party is open to changes its young people are involved immediately and you don't have to climb a long ladder before you get it instead you can prove yourself quickly. that makes a success a bolder and open to social changes as new forms of communication new issues and fresh reaches of card. some polls now show the greens as germany's most popular party is it time for them to start building up the personality who might lead the next german government and now they are reticent. at the next farm election in germany or into one of 3 years away so we're definitely too early to talk to such about such a thing like the chancellor of the green party especially because we have a couple of very very complicated to lexus coming in the east of the country so i

wouldn't rule anything out but it's definitely too early to talk. for now the anger about climate changes lead to a blossoming in the greens popular support only a national election will show if we can take them back into government. so the green party is winning support for a number of reasons the survey indicates a gentleness believe that the green party can deliver better outcomes compared to other parties the posters are rich party has the best solutions for the future with 27 percent the greens have a big lead chance america's conservatives come in 2nd with 12 percent our current coalition partner the center left social democrats 4 to a devastating 2 percent let's think of figures for the greens are higher than all other big parties combined is this a snapshot of a major shift in german politics in your opinion. number one it's

a snapshot number 21 is missing in this graph and that is that 42 percent of the german population say no party has the right answers for the future interesting however that when you look at the numbers the figures of the green party is the young generation $18.00 to $35.00 who say 26 percent tell us they have the green have the right answers but the only elderly's the over 65 they say that it's 35 percent saying it's the greens who have the right answers that's interesting because the generation older than $65.00 has always been save for a city you for the s.p.d. ok so one reason for the green strength may also be a result of the weakness of the other parties the opinion poll suggested this body is not paying enough attention to the issues people really care about don't hit

other results for the governing parties 77 percent of voters say yes that is true about the see the u.c.s.c. a 72 percent have the same say the same for the social democrats so right actually get this is quite stunning stunning 3 quarters of the voters think that the governing bodies do not pay enough attention to the issues people really care about so if people are so unhappy with their representative democracy could this discontent fuel support for anti democratic moderates. but this is a bit messy have a look at this situation here in germany is small then 80 percent 85 percent to say the economical situation is good it's more than 3 quarters of the population say my own financial situation is good so they don't fear the future they don't fear that they that they will have. a bad life in churches so they find other other fields but they are afraid of and one thing is climate change it's always been

a big issue here in germany when we asked people what are you afraid of they are afraid that the rain forests will be cut down the germans since they don't have a lot of problems they can concentrate excuse me. more than other people other countries in germany. little bit forward it subjects and you know that people demand that we shut down our coal coal mines and we are already shutting down all atomic. installations so germany is special they're moralizing at the moment ok so let's look at finally add one other aspect off field pinion boat chance that michael has announced that she will not seek reelection after the system which ends in 2021 but a designated successor on a good complicated bottle doesn't seem to be connecting with just one vote is what 53 percent say the a satisfied or very satisfied with america not even

a conflict that only 24 percent say the same about comp. so let's take it that that's quite interesting given those numbers how probable it is that that on a good come cotton ball will succeed. chancellor. we pauses a moment a. fortune teller but when you look at the at the result of the question do you think that this is comparable to you could translate it's 30 percent political over population in germany and it's only less than 30 percent of voters of the c.d.u. who say she would make a good chance or it would be difficult for her to be nominated in 2 and a half years but there are other people in the city you were waiting if they could have a turn. right so we have to remind of course says this is only an opinion poll but nevertheless fascinating outcomes from this opinion poll reinhart's lincoln

managing director of the in fact as the map pulling in states thank you very much for talking to us on the w. pleasure. moving on to other news in the u.s. and mexican officials say they are making progress on a deal to avert new tablets that president donald trump has threatened to impose a mexican goods now trump is trying to increase pressure on mexico to stem the flow of central american migrants to the southern border of the united states u.s. life president mike pence says that although he's encouraged by mexico's latest proposals the fullest wave in an escalating regime of talents is set to still take effect on monday. the fear of u.s. terrorists 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 do we going to go back to our country and suffer we have no choice like killing us back home. 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 they 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 is. where 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 the. room 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 rice 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 little bit struggling to apiece 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.

dr when the mission joins me from lancaster university he specializes in the american politics welcome doctor mission no we heard mexico's phone could deploy an extra $6000.00 troops to stem the flow of migrants would that be enough to avert the imposition of escalating tabs being proposed by president trump. well not necessarily because if you look at the front here 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 proper chula and city of tenn care on the mexican side these are the 20 points where they can be deployed but what about. the mountain still forests so there will be a steady trickle of migrants who can escape these 6000 national troops who have been stand there and the other thing that you have to remember here is that the united states is also considering sending the home and security officers to go get

them on site so they can also try and stop the flow of migrants from there and so there is a cordon is and 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 don't see the migration halting at this stage so given all of this what are 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 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 all the parts of the wall have not necessarily refugees so the mexican state doesn't have an will against them provide them with economic sustenance hobby jason 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 go listen see between the citizens and the outsiders and also we have to remember that there is a massive doff war going on so far although narcotics is concern and with these increasing evidence that many of these migrants are also becoming a part of that space pick nexus and that is very worrisome for mexico as well so it is in the interest of both united states and mexico in the long to stand. and documenting the mission from lancaster university thank you very much for that assessment and. if we now bring up to date some other stories making news around the violent jimmie's a little house of parliament has approved a controversial new signing legislation the bill would make it easier to place asylum seekers in detention centers or even jails and deport those who whose claims

after he reportedly publicized intimate messages from a woman it was an attempt to defend himself after she accused him of rape the woman recently detailed the allegations during an interview on brazilian television naima has an ankle injury and their drive at the police station in a wheelchair. no. name on how to make his way through a media scrum to reach the police station in his wheelchair he was there to give a statement denying the rape of a brazilian woman he had invited her to paris where he plays after exchanging messages on social media the front of people meant to hop the rest of the way. his accuser appeared on brazilian television to acknowledge she expected to have sex with him but alleges that when he became violent and she said no he didn't stop . i had a desire to be with neymar at 1st it was all ok everything was nice the messages

except i thought it would be fine the when i got there he was aggressive totally different from the guy i chatted to in the messages that. neymar left the police station on crutches his dream of leaving brazil to glory in this month's cup or america has already been dashed by injury now he must face a different kind of fight. for the world cup that is what i just want to thank everyone for the support and the messages that i see. i just want to say to my friends to my fans to everyone who has supported me thank you thank you for the affection i have to say that i feel very loved so i thank everyone for when. he drove off to an uncertain future. the women's world cup starts later today and it looks to be the most watched women's football tournament ever anthony how it

can be deadly sports says is to bring us up to speed up to speed as to what's going to happen and to tell us about the tournament how would it be unfolded $24.00 teams to $52.00 matches 9 host cities including paris that's where the action kicks off tonight that's where france the host will make korea they're hoping to emulate what the men's team did back in 99 he had as high as they won the tournament and generated all sorts of excitement what the departure is with this tournament is not going to come to a combination in paris though the hitting all the way through 9 cities to leon now leon his home of limply on the french women champions and they're also the champions league champions now so leone is a real seat of power in the women's game both in france and in the world god and you have a favorite but if in doubt say the usa they've won of 3 times so they are the favorites america's but i guess you can also add in there japan and you can add in germany inside the gym my career and my eyes. story they were broken 8 years ago and the bob marley foundation shifted money to get them here to get them up and

running financially and that's really the overarching theme in the piece that we're prepared looking at at the favorites it's a really broad field as we countdown to kick off in pairs. 7 games separate these players from immortality the usa have won the world cup 3 times making them the most successful country in the competitions history but they've never retained the trophy the team has the quality to do just that this time around 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 yet they are defending champs but at the same time i think the game has evolved so much i think that there's going to be challenges that presented itself in there in france the u.s. could well come up against a familiar opponent they face japan in the last 2 world cup finals captain seche kumagai will lead the team at her 3rd world cup she scored the winning penalty when

japan took home the trophy in 2011 and to my guy has an extra motivation to repeat those heroics she plays her club football in leon 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 alexander pope 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 voss tech number 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 it was wonderful. indeed the former champions are all in contention to win football's

biggest prize but with the c's world cup promising to be the most open tournament ever many saw it's will arrive in france dreaming of glory. full of content does that mean there's been a group in women's football and what's driving this interest begins and ends with with t.v. $206.00 associate nations all have individual broadcast agreements now with the women's game the feeling being that if it can be seen all of we can talk about it we can fall in love with the main characters and and we can witness the growth of the game and the improvement in the standard of the guy nearly a 1000000 tickets sold for people to say the game inside the stadium so everything screaming progress that's the conversation of the turning on race day in the in the lead up to this by a lot of the captains and a lot of the leaders in these teams and it's about parity now it's a real priority for them but then you look at the prize money that's up for grabs in russia 2000 and i think the men played for a part of 356000000 euros the women will play for 27000000 euros

a point 5 percent now a lot of these ladies a saying well you're saying it's a priority yes we all agree there's been progress progress but until we can squeeze that up a loss or to even think about roland garros in the tennis imagine for a moment the women not playing for the same as the men it's unimaginable that that would be the case and this is really the start is this going to be the countdown to parity when this tournament kicks off i really hope so anthony holic from says thank you very much men's the full on the netherlands hosts portugal in the final of the inaugural nations league on sunday the beach england $31.00 in the semifinal last night 2 massive areas spying in an extra time handed the dutch victory portugal beats it still ended wednesday's 1st semifinal. andrew tennyson checks teenager on the sofa has powered into a 1st grand slam final by beating britain's you had a come to in the french open semifinals the 19 year old won in straight sets to
