party and they've basically said either machall gets something equivalent across the board with several european countries the right to then reject asylum seekers at the border essentially by monday or else the minister will use his right to the constitutional right he has to implement that policy whether the chancellor supports it or not so that's quite something that's an open rebellion that's right but the do conserve just bodies of all with different refugee policy hello why is the whole for the interior minister making such an issue out of this now. well they've always differed but they always agreed that they need to find a compromise in the end appears here that silver is not afraid of upstaging angela merkel clearly he is angered by the very fact that she pulled the plug on him presenting his asylum master plan as it was called past tuesday that had to be councils after machall clearly must have agreed with several points in there there's a lot of secrecy over this plan and there's a lot of complaints also from the social democrats that they are not bound in on this so we really

machall wants to strengthen protection of europe's external borders for instance by investing more in the european border agency frontex the hope is to deter people from attempting to enter europe at all see hope has paid lip service to this idea but after meeting with austria as chancellor on wednesday he called it a quote ideal scenario the implication is that since frontex isn't able to offer this ideal level of protection present national border checks should be reintroduced. and even within the c.d.u. itself there are critics who doubt in a european solution. of course we'd like a european solution that's always better numbers but we've been waiting for two and a half years we can explain to voters why we're not doing anything at our national borders. thus as desperate migrants continue to cross the mediterranean the debate about what to do with them has become a political hot potato for conservatives in germany. so as you can see the confidence building up pressure the rift between chancellor merkel and critics led by interior minister horst is getting wider now tracking the sto

machall finds herself torn between the political support she now needs and what she's expected to offer your boy. we want to support italy's desire for solidarity and hope that germany will also get understanding when we talk about solidarity in europe around the issue of migration so as merkel and mccall sit down to talk you out the back manor house both are under pressure to find an answer on e.u. migration and ideally a common definition of what european solidarity actually means. political correspondent simon young is just outside of berlin and our meeting today hi simon good to see you what kind of support is merkel looking to get from. signals from the french president that there can be movement forward on this of course the franco german relationship is the key one the one of the key ones at the very heart of the european union if these two countries can agree then that's a first positive sign that there could be some new agreement on the whole migration and the silent issue at european level and of course chancellor merkel is hugely under pressure she's got this crisis in your o

on tuesday machall and french president. agreed to aim for a common euro zone budget by twenty twenty one on. the c.s.u. is pushing back and germany's largest tabloid it criticized merkel for having made too great a concession to moscow machall c.d.u. allies are worried that this could spark more division at a crucial time you're seen in we are in a situation in europe in which everything necessary is being done to keep this europe together trump is doing everything he can to harass us we need allies in europe and that's why this is a key issue. unphased the c.s.u. keeps provoking merkel it's been very in state primary sudha met with austrian chancellor is a bust and courts in the austrian city of linz both want to clamp down on the influx of refugees. it says i'm in solidarity and europe will ultimately be decided by whether we succeed in bringing about a change on the migration issue i mean chancellor merkel will meet the leaders of key e.u. countries at a crisis summit in brussels this weekend the outcome of that meeting

netanyahu is calling on machall and her european counterparts to reimpose sanctions on iran. we cannot pressure economic sanctions on iran break this cash machine that feeds me really an empire that endangers everybody and dangers israel but indirectly also in dangerous germany and europe netanyahu claims that iran finances its fight against israel with the money and the terror around is continuing its work on a nuclear bomb. macko objected maintaining that the nuclear deal has ensured transparency but she did see some danger in iran's nuclear ambitions and promised to work against the. well nonetheless we believe that we share the goal of preventing iran ever having nuclear weapons and where we have differences of opinion is the question of how do we best achieve that i can get out of this. despite their differences machall and yahoo emphasize the good relationship that two countries enjoy and announced a visit by the german government to israel in october. on joint you know the big paper by our chief political editor of the color of nurses on the story for us tonight so. ya

has just been so divided on this issue why is the solution so crucial for machall right now the e.u. is absolutely divided basically the system for distributing refugees has been broken ever since the huge influx of migrants in two thousand and fifteen and that has been imposing enormous strains in particular on the countries on the external border of the european union that's countries like spain like italy like greece it's one of the reasons that italy rejected that boat that we just saw and said no we're not taking on anymore it's one of the reasons that we now see a nationalist populist populist government in place in italy so one reason for uncle americal is simply fairness justice within the e.u. but beyond that this is also imposing strains on the european union as a whole it has absolutely been an ongoing dispute within the union which is why the chancellor has said again and again this is a european problem and we need a common multilateral european answer and she said it again in her podcast this weekend talking about the crucial issues that she'll be bringing up with presi

machall hopes to negotiate a european solution to the migrant issue when e.u. heads of state meet in brussels in two weeks' time she argues that germany shouldn't be acting on its own offering a quote to the effect that international problems require international solutions. if this was true then it world is highly integrated everything is too interconnected for any individual country to determine its destiny alone very wise words. but germany c.s.u. interior minister horst c. who for wants germany to refuse entry to migrants registered in other countries and he made issue orders to that effect against merkel's wishes the opposition sees this as a political putsch does ice just enough to make the government is on thin ice that's obvious. this is another attempt from the right wing of the conservatives to launch a takeover. time is running out for the two sides to reach a compromise if they don't under macro's government could be serious trouble. i spoke to do you have your chief political editor michelle occur and also with a chance to make you still had enough

demand machall was not willing to accept and the rift between the parties became wider and more evident by the day. when this oh by the if things go on like this we will have more refugees coming in than last year. the nazis no coordination. the government in berlin this not have a plan field. no matter how you look at it there won't be any other possibility than to limit the number of people coming in. trying to be quote by. i've said it before the system is collapsing. in the end its domestic policies that are threatening her tenure the influx of refugees sparked the rise of the right wing populist a.f.d. party in germany making them a real election threat and the various upcoming state election and that has seen the c.s.u. threatening to break with merkel and the c.d.u. a partnership that has existed since the second world war it's a major policy battle that could ultimately spell the end of mantles thirteen years in office. so the name is the controversy over the chancellor's migration policy appears to be coming to a head with a challenge from within her own government. what option

machall made him interior minister in march but then he used opposition to undermine merkel's authority the rift began in two thousand and fifteen the year when germany saw a massive influx of refugees in the end nearly one million people came to germany from war torn countries like syria and iraq but also from the balkans and north africa many believe the chancellor is someone who could save them from their circumstances then merkel made this statement that defined a pivotal moment in her government. the arms of feel a special fish offered us we have achieved so much we can do this since then there have been two sides to the world sees her as the most powerful woman who was close friends with us president barack obama and two other world leaders looked up to. but the other side of on the medical is how our own country sees her the long serving german chancellor head of a grand coalition that few actually wanted in the first place with tensions growing machall stime as chancellor could be coming to an end unless she can close the ranks between the c.d.u. and the c.s.u. from the beginnin

when it comes to european asylum policy where machall urgently needs results there is backing from the french president front supports the aim of sending refugees hope already registered in the e.u. back to the country where that initially been registered. both want to further strengthen your upset external borders and a strong franco german access and asylum policy at the e.u. summit at the end of june. we want to prevent europe from further division and instead we want to promote common solutions. this is also optimism on both sides when it comes to e.u. reform the issue that mccrone has made his own the euro currency is to be made more stable france and germany have agreed to invest millions in the euro zone however the euro zone budget will be a bit smaller than what mccrone wants as poem ackles wishes. she could have met it just cannot it's totally pragmatic what budget do we have today in the eurozone none what will we have to moral a euro zone budget and do it as a normal. being both pragmatic and ambitious the details for reform can be decided later nako i'm across say that a n

netanyahu thinks president trump was right when he withdrew from the deal netanyahu is calling on machall and her european counterparts to reimpose sanctions on iran. we cannot let pressure economic sanctions on iran break loose cash machine that feeds me really an empire that endangers everybody and dangers israel but indirectly also in dangerous germany and europe netanyahu claims that iran finances its fight against israel with the money and the terror around is continuing its work on a nuclear bomb. macko objected maintaining that the nuclear deal has ensured transparency. but she did see some danger in iran's nuclear ambitions and promised to work against them. nonetheless we believe that we share the goal of preventing iran ever having nuclear weapons and where we have differences of opinion is the question of how do we best achieve that and get out of this. despite their differences machall and emphasize the good relationship that two countries enjoy and announced a visit by the german government to israel in october. and you know the big table by our chief political editor of the

despite their differences machall and you know who emphasize the good relationship that two countries enjoy and announced a visit by the german government to israel in october. on joint you know the big table by our g. political editor of the color of their issues on the story for us tonight so. yahoo we know that they agreed that there could be no nuclear weapon in iran but they seemed to it's almost impossible for them to find common ground on reaching that position why is there. it's because binyamin netanyahu always saw the iran nuclear deal as part of the problem whereas most european union states including previously also the u.s. china russia i mean they are not going to agree on anything really they see this as part of solace in the case of the united states is part of the solution of trying to hem in iran basically giving it some economic incentives in exchange for buying time and this is what. doubt once again that buying time simply wasn't enough for him because he firmly believes and he provided what he says evidence that iran was off to a nuclear bomb it would still tryin

postponed and we'll see more at the end of next week whether or not the roadmap that anglo machall has in mind now is actually going to produce results she has a full agenda she's going to be meeting with european partners she's going to try and forge a compromise but she has also been very clear that she doesn't want to accept this ultimatum by the c.s.u. she doesn't want to go with hosty will close the borders essentially on the first of july put this in perspective to us you know how much of a crow big of a crisis has this been for the chancellor oh it has definitely been her biggest crisis she has been attacked before mainly from opposition policies from political rivals aussie who has not exactly been a big fan of her he's made that very clear from the very start but so far the two parties worked together in the in the migration crisis but he was never a fan of ackles open border policy and made that very clear and now of course on the weekend it looked as though he was going to be willing to risk the coalition and even that sisterhood between the two parties that goes back decade

who set the tone for today's meeting between anger machall and france's president in monterrey. borders our european borders instead of being divided in europe about solidarity and responsibility we must all act together with a multilevel approach. that very solidarity just backfired on the german chancellor at home to avert a government rebellion she promised to deliver a new pan-european deals on this so today's meeting with the french cabinet near berlin is key to bringing paris on board as most other e.u. partners chattering past each other like the tower of babel despite a mountain of problems to solve with travelers home the long list france and germany want to discuss has just been refocused to what was already top of the list migration here french president mccall two wants to see progress. systems that were designed to work with quotas did not deliver we must find suitable mechanisms that. machall finds herself torn between the political support she now needs and what she is expected to offer. you boy didn't you we want to support italy's desire for solidarity and hope

commonplace not just in bavaria but also across many of germany's other borders something angular machall and the e.u. institutions strongly oppose because of their commitment to the shang and border free area of the c.s.u. proposals don't stop at just policing borders. asylum seekers will be prevented from working and receiving benefits or violent applicants would be jailed alongside criminals then deported such moves go way beyond what chancellor merkel has proposed the price for not toppling her coalition in. erging many people agree with them they like your typical merkel invited them all now she can't handle it see the other european countries don't want to play along either they have had enough we are a christian country and we want to stay like that in two hundred fifty years you will barely find a german. mr mr home he's right to be humane but at some point we have to protect ourselves it doesn't work anymore he's not about racism always in a phobia but at some point we have reached the point where we have to say may first country then the others at a state wide level there are so

downplayed hopes of a breakthrough in europe's migration crisis during a visit to lebanon going to machall described emergency talks planned for sunday as an initial exchange that would not yield a joint statement or indeed any action. with the rising in brussels will be a working and advisory meeting and there were no final communique. at the actual summit next thursday and friday we know that there will be no solution at the level of the twenty eight member states for the overall package of migration questions. so the meeting this weekend as about talking to member states that are particularly affected. about all of the problems of migration both primary and secondary. and looking to see if we can reach by try or even multilateral agreements. the chancellor's cautious approach comes after it's a this new populist government objected to a draft statement circulated by brussels and some central european leaders weightings of their own. almost a rail before it even begun sunday's summit looks set to be an acrimonious one invitations have gone out but only to ten of the e.u. twenty eight mem

centers at germany's borders chances hardline coalition partners had set sunday as a deadline for machall to secure an overhaul of the e.u.'s migration approach the german chancellor told reporters the deal she forged could be enough to avert the collapse of a government. that is arm in the other stuff it's often if the existing agreements between the twenty eight of us are implemented together with what we've agreed upon today is that's what i would say it is more than sufficient. well the question now do critics within merkel's own coalition agree the deadline was imposed by her hardline interior minister zia who for probably varian conservative c.s.u. party use threatened to tighten border controls in bavaria the german state which bore the brunt of migrant entries during the peak of the crisis three years ago they were over is set to announce this weekend whether medicals done enough the clash between the two could spell the end of the governing coalition. and with me now in the studio to talk through this all is our political correspondent hans brandt hans i'm going to marco has come

tensions over immigration policy the varian conservatives often referred to as a sister party of machall c.d.u. they've been sisters at odds basically ever since twenty fifteen in that big influx of refugees because the bavarian conservatives simply didn't support the so-called open door policy but the reason for the current urgency and the reason for this absolute standoff is actually tactics of politics there's a local election coming up in the very end heartland of the conservative c.c.s. you and the c.s.u. wants to look very tough on immigration in order to ward off gains by the far right immigration party the f.t. so this is all about essentially tactics do you see any way out of the crisis melinda i think there is definitely room for some kind of face saving compromise it might take the shape of something whereby the chancellor would be given a couple of more weeks to look for a sustainable multilateral e.u. wide solution in the run up to the european union summit that's to be held at the end of the month she has said there has to be a european solution that's the only solution tha

this is news coming to you live from berlin machall on the return to head of an emergency e.u. summit on migration the german chancellor withdrawals a draft statement she hoped would clinch a swift migration deal as follows objections from the italian prime minister. also coming up with turkey's election just days away the economy is weighing heavily on voters' minds we get a briefing from our correspondent in istanbul and also this hour we're heading to the world cup in russia where a spectacular error by argentina's goalkeeper moves his team to the brink of crashing out of the tourney. with. a low i'm terry martin and welcome to the program emergency talks on migration are planned for sunday and italy has confirmed now that it will take part but only after german chancellor i'm going to michael agreed to scrap a prepared joint statement she hoped would clinch a swift deal and immigrant leaders from central europe meanwhile said they will not attend the summit in a sign of worsening divisions within europe. just two days to go before german chancellor angela merkel's mini migr

getting through at this very moment in time so we're certainly seeing a change in those relationships machall him up doubt that it is vital to find common foreign policy positions but also to find a core common approach to sign him here in the u. otherwise that would be danger for the european union as a whole but he doesn't talk about potential failure as in monaco was not shy of saying as america has been the only one reacting to the outcome of this week's weekend's the seven meeting let's take a look at some of the other reactions. canada's pm didn't want to talk about it but the flux of reporters we do the we do. know the reaction. he dodged the questions about the u.s. a surprise rejection of the summits closing document. canada's foreign minister objected to the substance of trump's decision rather than his style what is insulting and what i object to very strongly is the illegal and unjustified in position of tariffs on canadian steel and aluminum on the street the national security pretext is absurd and frankly insulting to canadians meanwhile european leaders have joined in the criti

machall repeated that she does not want to close germany's borders to certain refugees without first having made agreements with neighboring countries. be months later and then whichever way you look at it migration is a european challenge perhaps the greatest challenge at the moment the cohesion of the european union is at stake. it is the role of peace in u. . a former refugee said an emotional highpoint a tamil who as a thirteen year old fled to germany without his parents and then grew up and started an impressive career here. it's been a tried list i didn't become a refugee voluntarily but i did come to germany voluntarily because it's so wonderful to live in a country where democracy reigns where we respect the constitution we must never allow our fundamental values to be threatened if it. and see who seem to be moved by the story of a man who went from refugee to heart surgery. to two conservative leaders or at least trying to mend fences. which obviously i didn't hear any remarks against me when the chancellor sat down i said nothing about ramped up today did it with the boy

machall hopes to negotiate a european solution to the migrant issue when e.u. heads of state meet in brussels in two weeks' time she argues that germany shouldn't be acting on its own offering a quote to the effect that international problems require international solutions. to the in the world is highly integrated everything is too interconnected for any individual country to determine it does ice just enough to make the government is on thin ice that's obvious. but is this is another attempt from the right wing of the conservatives to launch a takeover. on. time is running out for the two sides to reach a compromise if they don't. government could be in serious trouble. along this stage of his chief political editor michelle acosta joins me from the german parliament of the bundestag michelle how does it seem to you is the german government on the verge of collapse. i think we're still quite away from that real threat but certainly that is something that is hanging in the air there is a sense of nervousness here in political berlin and we saw that fake tweets

germany's best known institutions the world cup team the car industry and the usually unshakeable machall the german squad is struggling and russia the diesel great scandal is still rocking the car industry and the chancellor has been attacked from within her own party our reporter charlotte tell some people took to the streets of berlin testaments about their summer of discontent. once upon a time germany was known for these treasures three a benign unstable leader and industry it might fall in line and a team of unleavened brave men capable of making their country proud. then came the fateful summer of twenty eight the german chancellor has been facing the greatest threat to her leadership since coming to power the diesel prices consuming germany's call industry has taken a dramatic turn with the balsa voice lock in subsidiary audi behind bars and let's face it germany's world cup have had a disastrous start losing the first world cup opening game since one thousand nine hundred eighty two. so what exactly is going on. everything's going wrong that's what you think is not the fairy tale

in the end that the opposition would have the opportunity to discuss the refugee policy of anglo machall at large and this is what especially the far right wing parties in parliament especially the a.v. want to do they want to. pull on go in front of some sort of a tribunal and this is going to put much pressure on the government to w. political correspondent rupert reed of all thank you very much. they're the students who raise their voices after a mash you think killed seventeen people at their florida high school in february now as the senior is that marjorie stoneman douglas high school are such a graduate they're looking ahead to their futures while mourning those who can't do the same and the nationwide movement the survivors inspired for stricter gun control in the united states shows no signs of slowing down thousands rallied across the country on saturday which was national gun awareness day our correspondent alexandra phenomena reports from a march in new york. were among contreras this march is a personal issue together with his friends of over exodus a ninety year old student

be a little bit difficult so essentially we would be on the path to new elections and possibly see machall step down because she has said this would be her last term as chancellor so the stakes are very high indeed absolutely from what you're telling me even into the is an awful lot riding on in these talks that take a look now at exactly what is dividing america and is the who for and what both sides want in this report now. the standoff pits chancellor merkel against her interior minister horst zee hoffa who is also a leading figure and the various conservative c.s.u. party zele who are fat and his party are challenging merkel even though they are part of the national governing coalition in berlin z. hoffa wants germany to turn away refugees at the border if they have already applied for asylum in another european country but merkel does not want germany to go it alone and is pushing instead for a european solution to the crisis. z. hole for however says he has lost faith in the e.u. civility to act and is threatening to move unilaterally if merkel and see whole fail to resolve their dif

watch over your children machall is still in power that's the rallying cry here and candles oldtown these marches have become part of everyday life ever since mia a local school girl was murdered allegedly by an afghan refugee. over the weekend about one hundred people from the women's alliance a far right group showed up thousands have turned out every month drawn from the right wing and neo nazi groups across germany most residents are outraged artist amin and his daughter nina say it's unbearable you know i don't miss our homes our country i'm freezing they are abusing our town for their own purposes even going forward they pretend to have certain reasons which onto the real reasons they're here and they're paralyzing us here. in kunduz. barricade yourself in your house all day with the children because it's talk dangerous just not thousands of kin both amin and nina are involved in efforts to combat right wing propaganda and town but army is now afraid to put up anti nazi signs outside his house. for the let's go with the more dealing with the last big demonstration i couldn't even pi

says it can no longer wait to see a change in machall migration policy. again we've made it clear what needs to be done more agents lead to restore order borders we should take the stand turning refugees away from our borders who are already registered in another european country. or. c.s.u. leader host and chancellor merkel had battled over the issue late into the night but no compromise was reached both science agree a european response to migration is needed but says that's taking too long mankell is still hoping for a deal with other e.u. states at a summit in two weeks time. to me the question of how to tackle this migration issue is a litmus test for the future and cohesion of europe it therefore needs to take every country into consideration the chancellor is putting the focus on beefing up the e.u. sexten all borders in the hope of deterring people from attempting to enter europe at all. wants to allow the austrian approach where x. journal controls don't work national border checks should be reintroduced his party says as interior minister he alr

party there who found his party a challenging machall even though they are part of the national governing coalition in belin. zero four wants germany to turn away refugees at the border if they've already applied for asylum in another year paying country. but michael doesn't want germany to go it alone and he's pushing instead for a european solution to the crisis. they hope for however says he's lost faith in the use ability to act and is threatening to move unilaterally if maclin they fall for fail to resolve their differences the alliance between the two parties could unravel lead to the collapse of the government. so that is what is at stake melinda how likely is it that you know about a compromise this weekend. it is likely and certainly that's what we're hearing out of the c.d.u. would self and the american conservatives we're also told however that there are a number of leaders of the c.s.u. the bavarian sister party of the interior minister who are more intransigent more rigid and the question is whether they can find a good middle ground which for example might be that they give

trying to find solutions she also says she would consider dealing directly with separate countries machall is facing a revote by have a very conservative allies over the issue which could break up a government. that may now bring you up to date with some of the stories making news around the wild monsoon season is wreaking havoc in boss of india this was the aftermath of a storm that hit the nation's financial capital one by two rancher rains have triggered severe flash floods across india as well as in neighboring bangladesh killing dozens of people and displacing more than a million in thailand and rescuers are searching for twelve teenage footballers and their coach who went missing two days ago in a cave that has since flooded so far the search mission has not been able to reach the part deep inside the cave where they are believed to be tracked. sunday was the highest scoring day at the was caught so far to share that excitement i had with me ed mccambridge sports desk and to take us through all those goals are welcome ed you must be ecstatic with that panama england result well this

at the same time there's a sense that this still is an anti anger machall party they don't just want to see a change of course on migration policy they want to see uncle americal leave office now the signs or the notable silence that we're hearing from this use you need to believe that it will not come to the crunch at this weekend that both sides will try and find a way to climb down from this very high tree that they've climbed up on to trying desperately to find a way out of the situation again. school some political points and it's in a sense needs. to know what they are against because this is a party that is still. fighting what it actually stands for and not just what it stands against the kid thank you very much for the us. and some of the other stories making news around the world. the headquarters of an international terrorist forces have been attacked in the town of the very officials say that the attackers detonated a car bomb and exchanged gunfire with mali and troops at least three people were killed along with two attackers. a permanent cease fire has taken effect in s

actually also what they see as you have been saying all along that they're actually helping angulo machall to get the european partners to agreed to europe. solution they said that we need to make clear what germany's national interests are and we can't be pushed around like war by everybody else and the american has already said that she is going to try and use the little time that she's got left between now and the end of next week when the summit takes place and to try and hold bilateral meetings with countries like france and italy that have a sort of on the on the southern part of of the european union and potentially we're also going to see a special meeting this weekend with countries like hungary and italy austria so it could be a reprieve from now but far from over it we're going to come back to you in just a moment but let's take a look now at the issue at hand the political tensions over migration have been building for a long time and those tensions have been fueled by high profile crimes involving migrants one is the case of an iraqi asylum seeker suspected of raping and killi
