merkel 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 u.s. bishops' fish and us we have achieved so much we can do this since then there have been two sides to angela merkel 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 americal 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 th

chancellor merkel: i think it has to be normal again for u.s.dents to meet russian presidents. 90% of the world's nuclear arsenal is held by these two countries. reporter: on migration, merkel said she remains concerned about how the issue has divided europe . chancellor merkel: it is quite obvious that this puts you are under a lot of pressure. -- puts europe under a lot of pressure. the fact is that this issue affects every eu state and it means of course that it will take longer to solve this. it shows how divided we are over the issue. i believe finding a common solution for migration is crucial to the future of the european union. reporter: not only in europe. in recent weeks cap policy has exposed divisions that threatens to break our governing coalition. but at friday's has conference which he showed no sign -- at friday's press conference, she showed no sign of being trouble, only that she look forward to a few days rest. phil: have the same press conference chancellor merkel took aim at donald trump's plan to impose tariffs on the eu au

got the deal she says she has got —— merkel deal she says she has got —— merkel deal she.ople are discovering. the irony is she's edgy came back with a political agreement, it is up to horst seehofer, the interior minister, to come up with the details —— she's just minister, to come up with the details —— she'sjust come back. we will have to see what happens. thanks very much. these two had a meeting on saturday and horst seehofer said on saturday he got nothing out of it, it was ineffective. were another meeting will go is anyone's guest. —— where. but as matthew was saying, at 5pm there's a meeting between merkel and seehofer and that could decide everything. thank you, david, we will speak to you later i'm sure. now to mexico, where it's looking increasingly likely that anti—establishment candidate andres manuel lopez obrador will become the country's next president. the left—wing candidate topped the exit polls and his two main rivals have conceded the election. president trump has already tweeted his congratulations to mr obrador, saying he's looking forward to workin

and chancellor angela merkel c.d.u. have found a compromise for their ongoing fight over germany's migration policy. after very intense negotiations between the c.d.u. and the c.s.u. we've reached an agreement we have a clear arrangement for preventing illegal migration at the border between germany and austria in the future. the two sister parties have decided to set up so-called transit centers on the german austrian border from where asylum seekers who have already registered in another country would be transferred. that's who would also put us in addition we will undertake domestic measures and covariates with refugees countries of origin as well as with other nations. we will set up transit centers and from there we will consult with other countries especially as island seekers home countries and the countries where they are already registered in europe then we will make it possible to return those asylum seekers accordingly this is precisely no cordons with the spirit of partnership in the european union after nob

angela merkel still unchallenged. no rivals.overnment isrman not as weak as we thought it would be. this should allow her to stay in office for another three years. however, there is a regional election in bavaria. you mentioned a little bit earlier on, the spd. they have broadly signed up for this. which questions do they want answered? they were against, in theory, some of the things that have been agreed. inia: this was an issue back 2015. liken socialist do not this idea of a transit holding center for migrants. how long can you hold people? under what conditions? that's what we're waiting to hear. anything they do will have an impact on merkel but i do want to point out a poll came out and germans don't want any more political drama. people do not think a germany and angela merkel are to blame for the problem, they think it's a much different issue. the spd has no incentive to try to destabilize merkel any longer. guy: thank you very much, indeed. . today are joining us. join us.tadeo at the, we take a look stocks of a move

headquarters in munich and not on the other and of course you have the german chancellor angela merkel who doesn't put this issue of political crisis credibility or personal credibility on the table as much as hostile for did but it really is a question of credibility for her too because she's the one who championed this idea of finding a pan-european solution from day one. rejected her migration policy from day one and here we are this came to a head now and became very personal and very hurtful and harmful to this union of c.d.u. c.s.u. indeed with of course potentially dramatic consequences for the stability of the german government now melinda you are in berlin and just a short time ago at this general secretary of the city you. are made a very brief statement to the media what have you been hearing following her words . well basically. there is no clear indication of where this conflict a conflict goes from here despite what she had to say her statement amounted to an endorsement of the chancellor's position that any policy on this issue of secondary migration meaning migrants who

she asked if he agrees that merkel is beholden to russia.t trump lash out at that breakfast this morning saying he was complaining about the germans not spending enough on -- high enough percentage of their gdp on defense spending saying that they are a very wealthy country, they could easily do so by tomorrow. then he said they are hold totally captive by russia because of the gas pipeline going from germany to russia. macron was asked if it he agrees on that sentiment, they were beholden. president trump said he was glad the reporters were asking him that question. there was a little bit of laughter if in the room. macron weighed in, saying, no, he did not agree with the president and that germany, the chancellor specifically, merkel, are beholden to russia. so a little disagreement there in the end. but a chummier in the beginning than we saw with the one-on-one with merkel and the president earlier. even though he complains about both of them not doing enough on defense spending, can you say how that plays into each of their different re

you know mrs merkel very well. is that true? i cannot say that this is true for sure.ions with others, with mrs merkel, junker and others, to get what is possible and others, to get what is possible and what is not possible. mrs merkel will stick to the negotiation line of the european union agreed by 27 nations and the european parliament and commission and therefore mrs may will understand the negotiations in future, where it might be easier to find an agreement. i don't want to sound cynical but if you look at the broad outline of mrs may's plan, she was to maintain frictionless, free trade in goods, playing by the eu rulebook as she says. but she doesn't expect the same, for example, from services, including financial services. i can't imagine an arrangement more likely to please you lot in germany. it means your car manufacturers for example continue unfettered trade exports to the very big market in the uk, while your financial services sector in frankfurt can expect to pick up a great deal of business from the city of london because there is no deal on services.

merkel's future, the and more. ricardo van holt joins us. -- burkle to event holt varnholt also joins us. its firsthas elected left-wing president in link -- in recent times. the earliest figures announced by the electoral board gave him 53% of the vote. handing a crushing defeat to business friendly parties who have run the country for decades. in a televised address, he promised steep changes and preference to the poorest and the forgotten. he also made a point of allaying market concerns, respecting the central banks autonomy. attacked trump has opec, accusing them of manipulating oil prices. he has caused confusion over whether or not saudi arabia will increase crude output. the president said the kingdom had agreed to pump an extra 2 million barrels a day, a claim the white house had to roll back. opec is manipulating and they allowed less them with thought last week. they have to put out another 2 million barrels in my opinion. china has almost halved oversee import duties on cars to 50%. set to him in five d

news live from but it's crunch time for angela merkel's coalition today how the variances to party will decide whether to accept the shaky migration deal she struck with the ease of the deal doesn't go far enough of them they're stretching to define macros migration policy potentially unraveling the german government also coming up. hundreds of thousands rallied nationwide protests against u.s. immigration policies calling on the trumpet ministration to quickly reunite families that have been separated at the country's borders. and at the world cup more superstars are out europe while i'm in asia the n.l. those portugal and from school the most spectacular goal of the tournament so far to send home the n.l. messi what could be the legends last match for argentina. any. time helen humphrey thanks for joining me well it's a meeting that could determine the fate of i'm going to merkel's government took coalition partner the bavarian conservatives will decide today whether to accept a deal on migration that the chancellor secured at an e.u. summit on friday have a very insistent posse the c

the but very insisted party to merkel's c.d.u. was absent from the conservative parliamentary group meeting on monday germany's conservatives are falling apart at the seams but merkel's conservatives remain optimistic. i think whoever has good intentions will in the end find a compromise so i say is deputy party leader we also support our party to angela merkel because she has good arguments. which i will mention the dispute is about the details of germany's migration policy the bavarian c.s.u. party wants to turn away migrants who have already registered in another e.u. state or have already applied for asylum. the chancellor has always made it clear that this wouldn't be part of germany's migration policy something she reiterated once again to her own conservatives earlier today but the c.s.u. boss and german interior minister hostie hofer isn't about to back down quietly after a long meeting of his party delegates save over threatened in the early hours of monday to step down as interior minister as well the c.s.u. party leader

jason: merkel has been in the ajason: merkel has been in the headlines around the world.hink of that iconic image of her standing over donald trump at the g7 meeting. a lot of global implications for a what happens in germany. joel: massively global. i think this is the most politically global story we are all watching right now. sure, there is trump, but the delicate balance merkel is playing between russia, china, a the rest of europe, the u.k., it is sort of like everything is on a string right now watching to find out if she can preserve her to find out if she can preserve this balance of power she has or if something gives away. and then what happens with germany after that? we know the history of germany youwe know the history of germany and the delicate balance it plays, not only with europe, but with itself. carol: very important story for europe but really important globally. joel: you think about the fabric ajoel: you think about the fabric of how the world has been constructed in this globalist moment. it seems to be receding. in here's one of the last people a

this morning said he will give merkel one last chance to negotiate. an agreement, a compromise i think merkel's compromise was what she achieved in brussels. she has no room to maneuver because she ruled out turning back at the borders. resigning is the only possible solution. >> she acknowledged in this interview with us yesterday, she called that summit because of this pressure from the csu she agrees with them that things need to change, but there are elements that she doesn't want to see changed, including turning back of migrants at the borders. in terms of that long-term agreement between the cdu and the csu on policy, are there growing gaps or just this one issue, do you think? >> i think there are growing gaps there have been gaps since 2015, the refugee crisis but the problem is that political advisers thought it was possible to overcome them. but now, even if she resigns, what a problem now for the csu see hover because he had to step down because of angela merkel, i don't see them staying in the german government anymore. i don't see them c

he spoke specifically again about chancellor angela merkel. >> and i said, you know, angela? guarantee it, but we're protecting you and it means a lot more to you than protecting us because i don't know how much protection we get by protecting you. and then they go out and they make a gas deal, oil and gas from russia where they pay billions and billions of dollars to russia, okay. so they want to protect against russia, yet they pay billions of dollars to russia and we're the schmucks paying for the whole thing. >> okay. let me take the first bit first. president trump is saying i don't know what we, the united states, get out of essentially protecting you, germany, you, europe. could you answer that first? what's in it for the u.s.? >> of course, yes. two points. the first one, once in our common history of nato, almost 17 years of nato now, article 5 collective defense has been triggered and that was with the horrible terrorist attack at 9/11. we all stood side by side with our american friends in afghanistan, fighting the terrorists. and we're still there. so this example

what are the implications for angela merkel?: what are the implications more broadly for the european union? >> merkel is on the back foot at the moment and essentially over her liberal policy. but specifically on migration. now, merkel has a coalition government and one of the three parties in the coalition, her bavarian sister party, is kicking up against her policy. bavaria is on the front line of the migrants who traveled north from the mediterranean sea up through europe and into the richer countries, mainly germany and sweden. and they say she's essentially opening the border to too many people, and they want to send these people back. carol: this is a fascinating story because we are seeing this globally, this wave of nativism, people pushing back and not allowing immigrants in. you talk about the important role of germany, especially when it comes to the european unification. this is a bigger deal. we've been worried about italy. but as i think your story says, maybe the black swan is germany. alan: germany is the bigges

and also to more about the dangers faced by the merkel government d.w. political correspondent hans but is with me firstly hans we have that meeting we understand last night between the chancellor her interior minister who say who for of course we should point out he's a committed member of the c.s.u. possy what do we know about that meeting. very little in fact we know that it took place that it took about two hours that they sat together until pretty late last night and of course we also know as we've just seen that these two politicians are not only allies by the adversaries and have been for quite a long time. there is some sort of speculation that they looked pretty grim when they came into their meetings and they looked a little less screwed when they came out of the meeting so this some sense it may have gone less badly than one my fear but we don't know in fact and we will need some time today probably whether or not the bavarian conservatives are going to accept this deal as uncle america has said she's made well looking i've ruled policy we kno

but the pushback we've heard from angela merkel is this. you cannot just measure a country's financial contribution. germany commits long-term troops, it commits trips to afghanista afghanistan. we heard from the european council president yesterday saying 870 european men and women, service members, have lost their lives in afghanistan. so these are the lines we ear likely to hear or president trump may hear from angela merkel pushing back about this idea that it's about dollars and scents that there is another level. >> collective defense and coming to the aid of one of our allies that article five lays out which is what our nato allies did after 9/11. stay with me. let me bring in lieutenant general mark hertling and political and national security analyst david sanger. let's listen to this exchange back and forth between president trump and jan stolenbeens stolt the breakfast. >> despite our differences we have been able to unite around our past to protect and defend each other. we are stronger together. two world wars and the cold war

they've been at odds over migration for years but now german chancellor angela merkel is calling on hungary's prime minister the top to bottom line on asylum and we'll bring you the latest from those talks involving. welcome to the program police in britain have confirmed that two people who fell critically ill near the city of souls break well poisoned by a nerve agent from the nabi chalk family now this is the second time the area has been at the center on the poisoning incident in macho former russian spy and his daughter were attacked to their home kristie miller road that's less than two kilometers from queen elizabeth gardens where it's thought the latest victims came into contact with the substance but its health minister says the second poisoning looks like an unfortunate after effects of the first investigation is being led by counter-terrorism police. this is the british couple at the center of a new mystery surrounding an english town charlie rose lee and dawn sturgis were exposed to the nerve agent novacek the couple are in a critical condition at salisbury hospital it's the same

on saturday had no effect merkel is hoping a deal security in brussels earlier this week would ease the fears of a very in allies who are demanding a significant hardening of germany's immigration policy it's been out to dominate cain who's been tell us more about what horsy offer has been saying. he's been making clear to his colleagues at the sit in the c.s.u. in their executive board meeting in munich that he believes that this deal that merkel has come back with is insufficient he's he's rejected outright the suggestion of what are called anchor centers places where migrants are either in the e.u. or in states in north africa would be processed he's rejected that completely and he said that the effect of the deal that's been brought back brian going to merkel is not what he wanted this idea that he wants people to be turned back at the borders and for border controls to be reinstituted in such a way as they were in place several years ago in some senses this is not particularly surprising because two weeks ago mr zero four was reported by german media as having said to colleague

he feels he has got enough from angela merkel to stay.on of immigration and the top of policy and one specific point. with me is the chief europe correspondent for politico. what has he got? he got a commitment from macro or two to set up commitment from macro or two to set up refugee camps in transit zones on the austrian border. —— merkel. what that means is, it should allow the germans to accelerate deportations of people who have been registered as refugees in other eu countries. this is not exactly what horst seehoffer was looking for but it's a compromise, showing voters that they are taking a hard line. it is not going to be about a lot of people? at the moment, not about a lot of people because the numbers of refugees coming into germany has falle n refugees coming into germany has fallen precipitously over the last few years so we fallen precipitously over the last few years so we are now fallen precipitously over the last few years so we are now down to levels that are below where we are —— where we were in 2015 but it has huge

mrs merkel will hold hers with her own party leadership.but at the moment it looks as though mr seehofer is going to play hardball. we're joined now by stefan kornelius. he is the author of a biography of angela merkel, and the head of the foreign policy department at the s ddeutsche zeitung. well, this meeting has gone on for a lot longer than many anticipated and we don't know what the outcome will be, but no matter what comes out of it, do you feel that mrs merkel‘s authority is seriously dented by what is happening here? seriously, but not necessarily fatally. it is a serious crisis, a crisis the conservatives in germany have never seen for the last a0 years. angela merkel is in a corner, but in public opinion and factually, she is not the reason for that prices. the crisis is home—made by the bavarian csu. it boils down to a leadership struggle between the outgoing party chairman horst seehofer, who is fighting for survival as party chairman, and might be willing to ta ke chairman, and might be willing to take angela merkel with him. c

in an attempt to resolve a political crisis over migration merkel travelled straight from parliament to the c s u headquarters in the capital palin she often has offered to resign from his position as c.s.u. leader and as the interior minister in the medical government he's unhappy at merkel's new migration agreements with the european union but she feels still does not offer enough protection to germany's borden's let's bring in dominic a new joins us live now from berlin and dominic tell us more about these meetings what's been happening. well it seemed rather chaotic over the course of the last twenty four thirty six hours nick because at one point we understood that the interior minister had effectively tendered his resignation or offered his resignation at least because he really couldn't agree with angela merkel about the way ahead regarding immigration his party seemed to talk him down from that today there's been a series of meetings there was an unchangeable meeting the most as a whole for an angle america had the parliament behind me with the speaker of parliament the forme

party will meet again with chancellor angela merkel c.d.u. later today in a last ditch attempt for the conservative alliance to fend fences they hope for has threatened to resign over america's migration policy. but merkel's christian democrats say that they back her stance of seeking a gherkin solution to the migration crisis and projects the national approach favor i said yes you know. i didn't mexico exit polls point to a clear victory for a leftist candidate andres manuel lopez obrador in the country's presidential election the former mayor of mexico city has promised to stamp out corruption reign in violence and lift millions out of poverty. plus at the world cup croatia have books their place in the quarter final they squeeze past the denmark and penalty shoot out and work out face the host russia. i'm sarah kelly welcome to the program thanks for joining us. chaos grips germany's government as a feud over migration cast doubt on the survival of merkel's coalition last ditch talks among the conservative bloc are now set for later today

needs in order to keep the continuity for businesses so i wouldn't go so far as saying angela merkel is endorsing the u. case position and they already mentioned the u.k. will have to make for the concessions that i let merkel is very much aware of the difficult domestic politics the trees the man she's keen to keep the negotiations going on johnston for anyone who doesn't follow the money you show of british politics with the governing conservative party in such disarray where is the political opposition to surely with this mess they should be riding high in the opinion polls and would the opposition labor party be any better at delivering brigs it than the governing conservatives will certainly we've seen that labor party have not been able to fully capitalize in the polls in terms of taking over the conservatives. they have a problem also with threats at their bricks that position is quite ambiguous for them i think at the moment as the opposition that works well they're able to allow the conservative party to tear itself apart and they only really have to face up to coming up wit

what are the applications for chancellor merkel?: what are the implications for the european union? >> she is on the back foot at the moment. this is over her liberal policy. specifically on migration. angela merkel has a coalition government. this is kicking up against her party. this is on the front line of the migrants who traveled north from the mediterranean sea up through europe and into the richer countries, mainly germany and sweden. they say that she is essentially opening the border to too many people. they want to send them back. carol: we are saying this wave of nativism in terms of people pushing back and wanted to those of borders. what is interesting about your story is you talk about the important role of germany area especially when it comes to european unification. we have all been worried about italy but maybe the real got -- black swan is germany. >> germany is the biggest economy in europe. it is the most populous country. under the chancellor merkel, it has been the driver of europe for the past decade or more.

about what does this say merkel's leadership?he might have stymied this particular eruption, but it just does not look that stable, does it? >> exactly. this is a diminished chancellor. clearly hurt election performance was a sign of that. angela merkel has been able to cut a deal, a migration deal in brussels, and three bilateral deals when it comes to migration with the governments of spain, greece, and austria. this is a government that still yields a lot of power and can get things done. no one to this point is willing to challenge her openly. angela merkel diminished but still powerful in office. manus: thank you very much, maria. she had the latest twist and turns on the german front. joining us now is saker anwar nusseibeh from hermes fund managers. iset the feeling that there political risk building, and perhaps we are underpricing in germany. would you agree or disagree? saker: there is certainly political risk, i think. that's true, but also, be careful not to underestimate chancellor merkel. she is a very good dealmake

has insisted on europe wide solutions now melinda could you perhaps take us back to what exactly merkel was able to agree on with her european partners at the summit in brussels that we're hearing is not satisfactory for as a whole for what is he rejecting exactly. well the first thing that they were able to agree on is something that also angle americans conservatives and mr c. ho for is very young party the c.s.u. do agree on namely a tightening of the external borders of europe both by creating new centers offshore in mostly northern african countries that would be so-called centers of disembarkation that means that people who attempted to go to the european union via . the sea would then theoretically be intercepted and taken back to these offshore processing centers and would have to apply for asylum from there that's point number one another thing that the european union leaders agreed on last week was that there should be closed control centers in european union countries in those first countries of registry that migrants would not be able to leave while their applications were b

wants to go it alone and potentially blow up its union with angela merkel c.d.u. party will they risk going that far that is the question as chancellor merkel says she does agree with her sister party that migration must be reduced but they do disagree on how to do it do you think it might be enough to say we agree to disagree. well they agree to disagree for a very long time and the feeling certainly the german chancellor got after signing that coalition agreement is that they had a roadmap on how to deal with it at the track record of legislation in germany shows that anglo marco already tightened her migration policy partly pushed by a conservative system party but he evidently in bavaria the c.s.u. is being pushed by the far right if tea party which it has to contest against in those upcoming reached our elections and this of course is the big issue here how much of this is about political point scoring ahead of regional elections how much is the regional factor here and how much of it is political psychology my prognosis is that this won't go beyond the brink

talking about angela merkel. germany just started paying billions of dollars for energy needs for russia. not stacceptable. all nato nations must meet the spending percentage of 2%. i think the politicians here and diplomats were expecting to tie up the loose ends from yesterday. there was a communication that was outlined with the final statements. i think that potentially we are not quite out of the woods yet when donald trump shows up half an hour late and he tweets like that this morning. remember, he put all these points on the record yesterday. he made those punches yesterday. he comes back with this today. you know, we don't know what it adds up to at the moment. i think we are trying to see what is happening behind closed doors now. >> the president's next stop is the uk for the long awaited visit to america's closest ally. he will have tea with the queen. what else? >> reporter: you know, he will get to have a wonderful almost state banquet dinner. that should be very much to his taste. the lenin palace

how will merkel respond to that?te the leader that upholds the global rules-based system to use the jargon that has existed broadly since the end of the second world war. she would like to position herself as the guardian during whichriod of time during the trump white house stays in power. whether she can actually do that, she will have to reinforce her own domestic position if she is going to play the international states woman. all of domestic stories and european stories, italy, austria, greece, poland, czech republic, the list is extensive, all play to the fact that she cannot operate at the supranational level. tom: if there are all these little stories, and the buttress is nine big figures in europe, that makes for a fragile economic backdrop for europe. when the president comes to europe, london, when we see the protests that are expected, what will be european economy be like? is it slowing down enough that eakened economy that the president addresses? forhat i see is an appetite aggression in a managed way.

this is developing news live from berlin german chancellor angela merkel faces the media today off the toughest year at the top of migration is likely to lead the agenda of her annual summit news conference just weeks ago it almost toppled her fragile coalition government put off to more than twelve years in charge malcourt has again shown her staying power or have a preview of that news conference for you in just a second. also on the program. plays setting up sound out how these young chinese. genuine three years ago for a campaign against sexual harassment we'll be finding out about the situation today about the country's growing me to campaign and will then talk to one of its protagonists in the u.s. auto industry speaks out against president trump's plan to impose tariffs on car imports workers from america's biggest car makers have been taking to the streets in washington d.c. . and to sky tightens its grip on this year's tour de force but it's the right thomas in the yellow jersey rather than chris froome that's after a long busting victory on the driver's rides. hello and welco

that is now in office cohesion was one of the really big watchwords and it's very much an angle or merkel word cohesion compromise. consensus these are very much anglo-american concepts and the very point here was. the figure that was quoted sixty percent of the population suddenly don't think compromise is important there's a very strong notion there of a very changing german society yeah let's go back to a chance i think she's building a question now about relations with israel i think that the protection of minorities as part and parcel of democracy is crucial and i think that since there's been an appeal to found the state of israel and i know it is to be an issue of course i can understand that this is a very controversial debate but it is an israeli based debate and i wouldn't want to interfere. into marketing on this law this controversial law that was passed the national assembly all that has just been passed to the disadvantage of arab israelis they would say. obviously benyamin netanyahu sees it a very different way and his likud party but it's interesting just to point out for

pull back all three of its ministers proper ministers in the cabinet of german chancellor angela merkel and that would be the real destabilizer in this equation and reach far beyond what is a small tremor here but could amount to a political earthquake once it hits berlin but we still don't have any official confirmation yet all right so this situation could indeed bring down germany's long standing concern alliance if in fact or say hope for does announce his resignation melinda could you please bring us up to speed on how we got here. this conflict essentially started about two and a half weeks ago or less it came to a head two and a half weeks ago there have been long simmering differences on migration policy between these two parties which are sister parties the varian conservatives and the chancellors christian democrats but they haven't been behaving very sisterly with each other actually for some time now and migration definitely has been part of that dissension but it came to a head about two and a half weeks ago when who are safe so far as the interior minister essentially gave

merkel, an extremely skilled person.heresa may has less skills in those departments but she seems unable really to know which way he's going to go. >> stay with us. next, we're going to talk about what trump said about immigration in europe. he called it a very negative thing. it is changing the culture. i want to know what people think of trump weighing in on that and broader european politics, when we come back. across the country, we walk. carrying flowers that signify why we want to end alzheimer's disease. but what if, one day, there was a white flower for alzheimer's first survivor? what if there were millions of them? join us for the alzheimer's association walk to end alzheimer's. register today at alz.org/walk. ♪ hawaii is in the middle of the pacific ocean. we're the most isolated population on the planet. ♪ hawaii is the first state in the u.s. to have 100% renewable energy goal. we're a very small electric utility. but, if we don't make this move we're going to have changes in our environment, and have a nega

merkel is a political mastermind.here have been these previous that before and ultimately an agreement reached. that is very much the base case here. people be very concerned if the coalition does actually fall, but don't want to see the confirmation before they trade the negative story. euro sank a little bit on this news, but it is not too much priced in yet. it is a very similar situation with erdogan in turkey. she is under pressure and under stress and continues to survive. the surprise it seems to be in the blank market. oil continues to go up since the opec market. if you are saudi arabia, do you listen to trump or stick to your strategy? mark: there is definitely a supply pressure concern that was going around the market last week. suddenly, we have this weird exchange over the weekend between saudi arabia and trump and then iran coming in and saying saudi arabia could not increase output. suddenly, i think it emphasized there was thisat kind of idea that wait a second, if the opec increase hasn't work , that

very hard for chancellor merkel to get the support for her perch. what is not correct and what i hear a lot in the united states is that the situation in germany and that crime is rampant? we know that crime in germany has been going down. so people react ray sensitively a partents, that is it of the irritation between trump and merkel. .ost: let's go to henry good morning. to the i want to mention people that nato was put in place for the protection of the allow nuclearto leaders to. -- to not take place. but now with the white house turning their back on europe, i wouldn't put it past them to unite mightier than they are and -- becomeo cooler super nuclear powers who then turned their backs on the united states to protect themselves. it's a shame that an individual in the white house is thinking of enriching himself rather than americans and democratic institutions. from russia to germany, the united states has and equal tong going on from mexico the united states in houston, texas. they have a pipeline with a transfer of oil and gasoline. same th
