the conservative union and the conservative coalition of which. is a member defended him as somebody who had spent a lot of time trying to bring about a european solution he's also saying that if germany goes it or learn and brings in refugees into germany this year of c.p. and solution will become more difficult to find because other european countries would feel that while germany can do this on its own on the other hand there was a severe criticism from the left of the political spectrum people on the left called his attitude on christian inhuman and called on him to make very swift changes to all of that and then of course you have the very right wing spectrum of the politic will parties that has the right wing populist alternative for germany party the f.t. they obviously do not want any refugees to come into germany they are opposed to any of them coming from moria i spoke to their deputy leader beatrix from stores

yesterday let's hear what she had to say. yes i think this is a severe human crisis and we have to help we have to very rapidly have to reconstruct the refugee camp i think this is important but there's also a very strong message we have to send is we cannot get those migrants now into our country because this would mean to reward what we have seen setting the the refugee camp on fire by purpose at least they have been attacking the firemen who are going and trying to extinguish the fire they have been there have been attacked by the refugee so rewarding this would set a very wrong signal some people who work with the refugees say that they are so frustrated after 5 years in this that nothing has happened there has not been refuted policy from the european union they have no perspective that is why they have taken this kind of step have you got any understanding for this kind of

frustrations no i don't have any kind of respect or we cannot we cannot reward it as i just said but setting up the refugee camp on fire puts innocent lives in danger some will die and then claiming to be a political asylum seeker means to abuse political asylum and we will set a very strong signal we would set a very strong signal that this abuse of political asylum is not accepted for no one they have to know if they burned down the refugee camp they will have to stay and they will not improve their situation if they can improve their situation if they if they succeed in what they are looking for their right for exile and the right of immigrating to germany they will set the next refugee camps in fire and we have to prevent this we have to stop it and this is what is would be our very strong political signal there are several german politicians even conservative politicians

from america's christian democratic party who are saying we should immediately bring a 1000 or maybe even 2000 of these refugees to germany in order to help them what do you feel about that i think if we give in and if we take those migrants now to germany this would chris create answer and we should not do that. ok hansen despite those objections from the a.f.p. the interior minister did announce earlier that germany will take in some of the 400 miners who have already been moved to mainland greece human rights organizations say that is not enough what are germany's options well what's at issue here is the question of whether shermie should bring in refugee is on its own or whether it should be done within the european union framework the interior minister is saying it should be done only within this european union framework that includes these $400.00 miners that we are talking about whereas there are very very large sections of german society more than 100 minutes

a product of several of the german federal states and including several dozen members of the conservative coalition government. members of parliament from the conservative coalition who are saying we need to bring in this crisis situation we need to bring in people immediately we need to not take any regard of european plans european. how should i say reticence germany should lead on this issue and should bring people in who are in desperate need immediately but this is something that the german government is continuing to refuse to do whereas the pressure from the grassroots as it were from churches from aid organizations really is increasing there from day to day. political correspondent hans broad reporting for us thank you hans. let's take a look now at some other stories making news around the world at least 11 people
