can merkel overcome a party rebellion? the chancellor's liberal response to the refugee crisis has earned her praise across the world, but there are calls in her party to stem the flow of new arrivals. a recently by her interior minister caused further controversy. thomas de maiziere challenged the chancellor prevailing policy. he suggested stopping automatic recognition of asylum-seekers and preventing family members from coming to germany later. is that chancellor still captain of her ship when it comes to the refugee crisis, and how much support does she still enjoy within her own party? coming to you from berlin, "quadriga." your host, terry martin. terry: hello and welcome. she has become the goto in europe, brokering deals on everything from the debt crisis to the ukraine conflict. says she iszine" now more powerful than barack obama. but even angela merkel has her limits. could she have finally met her match in the current migration crisis? that's the question we are exploring this week on "quadriga ." we have three

german chancellor angela merkel recognizes this. message has to get out. ,> as judy dempsey mentioned the chancellor is under considerable pressure within the political elite, including her own sister party, the christian social union. leader has given her an ultimatum saying that if she doesn't come up with limits on immigration by next sunday, there will be trouble. it is unclear what trouble exactly, but does that explain her cave in on this at all? >> at least partially. i think this points towards the porting afghan asylum-seekers. it is part of a strategy to stowe -- show strength. this strategy has been targeting so-called economic migrants from the west balkans, and now it is shifting to afghans as the numbers of asylum seekers from the balkan countries are decreasing. when hehook your head says that partially explains it. judy: explain her shift. german chancellor angela merkel is alone in this crisis. she is alone at the top, not only germany, but alone in europe. so much for european solidarity. german chancellor angela m

angela merkel still a very popular politician. i don't see a real threat to her chancellorship at the moment. anchor: simon young, thank you for joining us today. turkey has excepted 2.5 million refugees, mainly from syria. most of them find shelter in crowded camps in tent cities. many are desperate to make it to europe. we spoke with two syrian refugees in istanbul. reporter: the square has become a central place for refugees in turkey's biggest city. human traffickers pickup customers hoping to reach the eu. mohammed has thought about making the trip himself. he fled syria two years ago when he was 18 to avoid conscription in the syrian army. as always, he finds men selling lifejackets for the trip to greece. one time he almost went with a trafficker, but then backed out. but just barely eking out a living himself, he has regrets that he stayed. >> imagine the different life here. i had hoped to send money back to my family and syria, but i don't even make enough to support myself. reporter: mohammed shows us where he lived unt

in the end, mark role -- in the end angela merkel left with no applause. those rather extraordinary. sarah: correspondent there in munich. we have to take a short break. when we come back, a check on our top story. a malian officials saying all of the hostages being held at the luxury hotel in bamako have been freed. at least 18 people, though, were said to have been killed. security forces say two of the attackers are among the dead. all that and more, stay with us. us, let's get a check on our main headline. a malian official says all of the hostages being held at a luxury hotel in the capital of bamako have been freed. at least 18 people have been thought to have been killed. two of the attackers are among the dead. suspected jihadists took an estimated 170 people hostage in the radisson blu hotel at the city center. for some perspective on all of this, let's bring in the head of the friedrich ebert foundation, based in bamako in mali. a lot of people are saying they are not surprised about this attack. the country has been tense with political unrest a

i think that angela merkel is really out on a limb here. isis is trying to saw through that as quickly as humanly possible. i think angela merkel doesn't understand is, she feels very emotional about this issue it reminds me of the east german background and the unification. it was enormously expensive and very challenging but everyone in europe and the united states were behind the germans. they wanted them to succeed. here she says i will take leadership on the refugees. equally challenging, incredibly expensive. she doesn't have the europeans behind her. she doesn't have americans behind her. she doesn't even have the majority of the american -- german people. for is incredibly unnerving merkel. think what -- incredibly different from the wall coming down. i do fear that the backlash she will receive is really going to undermine her leadership. the one thing we have been able to count on since the financial crisis hit europe was strong leadership from chancellor angela merkel. i fear that is no longer something we can count on at all. >>

guy: merkel goes.does that do to the european bond market, to the grounding that germany provides economically? >> 10 years ago, germany was on the mend. we had a situation where all those market reforms came through. all of a sudden, the economic miracle is being tarnished by the weekend -- weakness we are seeing in the international market. off.s are sort of drifting you can see other countries outperforming, like italy. italian gdp is outperforming expectations. germany is losing its step in being the lead economic power. guy: she has functioned at the core of europe, cap the eurozone together. provided reasons for keeping greece in. it was hollande that brokered the deal, but it was a situation that angela merkel was determined to keep it on the rails. >> you can imagine a story where suddenly -- guy: who is the core of europe? who is the person that you call? >> opinions divide on whether the eurozone survives or not. arguably, britain votes to stay in, and the eurozone fails, i would argue that b

other than that, merkel would have to go to parliament. [indiscernible] rochelle: we are having a slight problem with the clarity there. we will leave it there for now. thank you. france's lower house of parliament has voted to extend airstrikes against islamic state targets in syria after the group claimed responsibility for deadly attacks in paris. the national assembly voted to approve the measure with 515 votes for and just four votes against. french fighter jets joined the u.s.-led coalition against i.s. in iraq in 2014, but expanded their targets to syria in september of this year. news, theorld surviving pilot of a russian plane that was set -- shot down by turkey says a turkish jet issued no warnings beforehand and stressed his plane did not enter turkey's airspace. ankara said it was unaware the plane was russian, but says it gave 10 warnings before shooting it down. the issue has raised -- the incident has raised tensions between moscow and ankara. julia kim has the details. >> [indiscernible] julia: indiscernible, but the turkis

this war of words between merkel andens the bar barrens have be . over the weekend, and over the past few weeks we've seen merkel's position significantly hardening including new immigrant populations. >> you can never appease everybody in politics but will she have gone far enough in the short term at the moment do you think? >> in the short term she has bought herself some time. she had a crisis summit and she has managed to since then at least agreed to sign up to a lot of the things that the barbarian premier was calling for. she will have the heat off in the short term however in the long term it is simply unsustainable if 10,000 are arriving in germany every day. now merkel will have to look at other issues, working with transit exeant, particularly. >> they have agreed to transit zones and i think something else which i can't quite remember off the top of my head. but what are these elements going to buy her? what do if tran is it zones mean? >> it's this idea that at the poured of judge germanborder ofe found not to be asylum seekers or refu

we were talking about angela merkel and how her politics survived the events we saw on friday. the european project is bigger has angela merkel, but she been so crucial to it over the last decade. how much should we link two? her ability to survive this and the broader european story? kristin: i think merkel must being there anymore is one of the key risks for the european project. she has been very important in establishing this help for reform approach we have now. if the country does reform, it does get the help. that even applies to greece. she has established that rule and fought for it in various negotiations. she has always been able to commit germany to helping in the end. who replaces her has huge boots to fill. not only in at the negotiations, but committing germany to helping. anna: you don't think she is going anywhere anytime soon? kristin: even though her popularity ratings are down, at 49% she is still above any other. much,thank you very kristin scholz. up next on the program, a rate hike. what it would mean for emerging markets. ♪ >> we have a fragile, cyclical

can merkel survive?here are big mutterings now from some for members of parliament saying actually shows up the policy could be a disaster. be something to like this happening in germany and it is shown to be it was a refugee that caused it, i think even a merkel's position would be unobtainable. you see the risks. manus: you will be with me through the next 30 minutes, stephen isaacs, stays with us for strike 2 for abenomics. japan falls into a second recession as shinzo abe took office. live in tokyo. ♪ > you are right to say france is> mourning and we need today and tomorrow and a long time. all of the french are reflecting and the capitals are reflecting. ample seem the french and and money was around the world show french -- people sing the french at them and monuments around the world show different colors. manus: that was the french prime minister, manuel valls, talking about the morning them people are going through -- mourning people are going through. i am manus cranny. back to guy johnson. guy

sarah: is this a defeat for angela merkel? a couple of months ago, she basically opened her arms to refugees arriving from syria. is this a defeat for her? >> we will look of the situation, maybe in 10 years time, and then see whether it was a defeat or not. i think it is one of the strongest points in her whole chancellory that she has said right from the beginning, we will manage the situation. we have not created it, but it is there. we are strong enough to deal with it. we have a strong enough economy. we will work together as our european partners -- with our european partners. that sends a strong message that should resonate. sarah: thank you very much for your perspective. now to some other stories making news around the world. investigators in cairo are investigating the black boxes of the russian plane that crashed in egypt. unconfirmed reports say noises and characteristic of a normal flight were recorded in the cockpit just before the crash. there was a heat flash. all 224 people on board were killed. turkish police

angela merkel's feature is also in question. if you were to go back five or seven years and say we are going to have negative interest rates or even very low interest rates, i think we all would have thought we would have inflation or more growth and we've got low growth and no inflation. what will the monetary authorities do if this does not work? what does this mean for currencies? does this mean they are going to keep pushing the theme of a currency war? ultimately a zero sum game. francine: is in a bubble? jane: by definition, we can only really tell for sure afterwards. certainly there is a feeling that we are potentially in a bubble and as hans mentioned, there's a lot of talk about property bubbles in germany. if we look at other countries including switzerland, sweden, australia, new zealand, yes, there are or have been property bubbles and this is a function of the same trend, which is cheap money. jane foley from rabobank. we will be talking a little bit more about japan and abenomics. let's look at live pictures from

david: i am curious about this standard by merkel.s this really an effective tool to deal with isys? i thought they were self funding. they are not involved in the international monetary system. michael: i think you are right. merkel is going to be saying things quickly and aggressively right now. john: it does not feel very big, doesn't? david: it goes to the heart of isys. we are going to cut off your bank accounts. john: that is what the french are doing, and it may be a different approach. hans, do you have something else for us? seen a precipitous decline in angela merkel's approval rating. she is under 50. that is wanting to watch on the angela merkel side of things. the other thing we have to watch for is the relationship between the e.u. and turkey. there is a back-and-forth right now about one of the terrorists. turkey is saying that they were informed twice that this individual had been to syria and could be coming back. the french authorities have no record of it. it would call into question how good french authority -- fre

chancellor merkel: we want to better fight the causes of migration. and by doing so, reduce the number of refugees. all member states were agreed on that. sarah: and now, just a few minutes ago, our senior european correspondent summed up the day's developments at the malta summit, stressing that action will speak a lot louder than action plans. reporter: the eu's short-term problem is on the southeastern border. of course, the migrants coming through syria, then turkey, taking the western balkans route into the european union. what the european union is trying to do against it is an action plan with turkey. that one is not finalized yet, but it contains more money and closer cooperation. that's what they are trying to do here. but if you look at the scale of the problem and compare it to africa, it almost seems tiny. because africa, of course, is a huge continent with huge problems, millions of people on the move, dreaming of the field -- of a better future. what's the answer here? another action plan, closer cooperation, more money. but if this is r

merkel seems open to it. she's going to listen to mr. hollande. anna: something that president hollande must be mindful of, his finance minister in france, saying that it's possible the terror attacks could affect french growth. give us the details. we saw it come through in the pmi numbers. it looked like france was tapering a little bit because of the effect on the hospitality industry. what we have is the french state saying that this could impact our ability to have growth. already, last week, france made it clear that they are going to do what it takes to have security above the stability pact. looks like brussels is going to give them the green light. all the signaling from brussels is that they are likely to give france some sort of dispensation. it doesn't seem like that will run a of the brussels rules. we do have to monitor what this is going to do to french recovery. last quarter, they were at hero .3% growth. this is not exactly a resilient or robust economy. anna: thank you. hans nichols and ryan chilcote. a chilly looking moscow this

there are huge domestic pressure is on misses merkel. this was one of the reasons why france has been apps from the european debate on migration, because marine le pen was seen to be rising, and france has not affected european policy. now mr. hollande can no longer shy away from this. anything he says that has to do with more liberal, open policies, continuing what europe has been offering, a safe haven, is going to cost him domestic political capital. anna: are you surprised to see the french acting so quickly to take the fight to is in a more intensified form overnight with the launch of bombing activity? sony: i am surprised and perhaps a bit disappointed. the biggest danger from an attack like this is a knee-jerk reaction. what we have seen in the past come all the way from the u.s. going in with the iraq war, etc., is a tit-for-tat counter escalation going on. yesterday, there were bombings on isis. some of the bombs had fairly ,hildish statements scrawled on "this is for paris," and so on. we need a measured response. perhaps it i
