nicholson. catherine, walk us through this meeting after a week of heated exchanges. it certainly does, and i'm sure, molly, you and our kindrs will know that this of conflict between an new european leader and it established one is often or formality. you see we have the guards ready to go. everything looks like it would for one of these visits, but the atmosphere is tensor than usual. thatentioned the row happened between emmanuel macron and the italian prime minister inr italy's refusal to take an ngo ship with more than 6000 migrants in the mediterranean. there's a row and emmanuel being said that italy was cynical and acting irresponsibly. and outater not out

apologize -- he did say on the mean to ushe did not and italy or italians. this meeting was almost scrapped, but as you can see, it is going ahead. we expect the italian prime minister to shore up intensive we expectes time -- the italian prime minister to 10 to 15 minutes time. italy is a country that has seen itself doing a lot of the 50 -- heavy lifting in the migration crisis, it is a main point for migrants crossing into the eu. a lot of people seeing these ngo ships as helping smugglers, providing a transport service across the med and italy being the place were these people are delivered and processed because eu rules they

have to be processed in the country where they first arrive. than half are million unregistered migrants. you mentioned this will be a dominant topic, but also a for the eu.ue we have the key eu summit coming up in two weeks time. that's quite right. while decisions are made and announced at the summits, a lot of the work is done in the run-up, through meetings like this one. e speaking to cont a maxima clone about issues like this one. we know that there is a hard reaction to the migration issue.

italy has what is seen as europe's first populist government. the deputy prime minister from the northern league has become interior ministry and he has vowed to get a new stance from europe on migration policy. he also has support within europe where it has to be said worderman -- he used the axis, raising eyebrows for the use of words. countries, ite does not look like -- it does look like it is an area where europe will have to start rethinking its migration policy. and we will, of course, be covering it here on france 24. you foratherine, thank that. catherine nicholson joining us from the french central palace in paris. threatens toon

break german chancellor angela merkel's government coalition. she is facing rebellion. the interior ministry has rejected compromise offered by the chancellor. let's bring in nick pfizer who joins us from berlin. we have seen essentially that chancellor merkel is fighting to save the government in a heated battle over immigration. we did have a short time ago a twitter hoax that certainly rattled nerves in germany. bring us up to speed where things stand. coupleet me show you a front pages to give you an idea. this is published in you can, where this man is from -- he is in openterior minisister, conflict with his boss, angela memerkel, who is, , of c coursee german chancellor. that is the headline "an open

conflict." it's about whether migrants can b be allowed into germany. he would like to expel them at the border. the newspaper is filled with talks of an ultltimatum for merkel, andd basasically he is saying monday i am going to start expelling people who have apply for exile in bebeen rejecd in another european country but have an applicacation underwawan other european countries. she does not want that. he i is part of the christian social uninion, which h is the sister party of angela merkel's own party. i will underline how strange this is. you could expect a coalition government to split along ideological lines with the social democrats. it''s the coconservative bloc tt is split over immigration. angela merkel offered s some compromise deals, , asked him to waitit for twowo week's for the european summit at the end of the month. we were just hearing about it. that was too long a wait for

him. and it needs to be said that he and his party, the christian bigal union facing elections in bavaria, regional elections in october and that undoubtedly has an on his position. it's monday when we find out if things are going to come to a head. molly: how are we seeing public opinion split on this? ick: thehe newspaper i just showed you p put -- publishehedn 87% of poll sayingng that germans want to see a hardening of immigration policies. is a a certain amount of fatigue in germany, which welcomed over a million refugees, manany of them from syria beginnnning in 2013. inin m moment o ogreat genenero, many have saidid. it has been hard integrating

those people. there have been heavily publicized crimes where people were stabbed to death, , the latest demand from iraqi kurdistan who allegedly raped girl and wasberlin extradited. all of this makes migration look as an undesirable thing, though if you look at the crimemes numbers, the numbers are not thehe among immigrants than german populatation. however it does not look good. it does not look good for merkel to have toto consider whether to accept what he is saying or possibly fire him and it does not look good for her internationally within europe to be so weak when she has so many international decisions, including at the european summit at the and of the month on this very issue. molly: thank you for joining us berlin. migration is a top issue in the

united states as well. president donald trump's zero-tolerance border policy is filling up sheltered hundreds of children are being separated from their parents after lunch the u.s.fter injuring illegally. some congressional republicans .ave distanced themselves the white house highlighted the bible in defending their approach. it is donald trump's face that greets the children that live here -- welcome to ca sa padre. want to walmarar it is thehe minors.shelter for mostly the trip to the central u.s. alone put before being put in federal custody. but some were forcibly removed from their parents because of

what can we expect? really the top game because at least these teams are expected to make out of these group stations -- stages into the knockout stages. they will be battling for the top spot. they will have a chance of finishing at the top of group a. egypt has been posting on the fitness of their top star. the coach yesterday announcing that he was fit to play. he is not in the starting lineup. in the end he will be on the bench. fans are little disappointed because he is the best player by far in the ejection squad, egypt

making their big return to the world stage 28 years after their world cup appearance. it will be very hard. uruguay has kind of gone under the radar. uruguay are the favorites in this group, and of course they have that lethal upfront power with luis suarez of barcelona. so, it uruguay on paper, the favorites, but the egyptians have quite a bit of support, a lot of fans making the trip to be in russia, whether it is in moscow, or actually at the .tadium to support their team and if you are in ejection fan or rooting for egypt, one that should make egyptian fans

hopeful is uruguay has not won their opening world cup game since 1976 without winning the first game. let's see if they can turn it around. molly: thank you very much joining us from moscow. it is coming up on 15 minutes past 1 p.m. in the french capital. let's get an update on the headlines. in many macron is hosting the italy, 20 put of a dispute on migration behind them. -- emmanuel macron. angela merkel faces a rebellion over immigration and her party. russia world cup host posts the tournament opener. uruguayt will be facing
