politics like never before we saw proof of that today in real time when chancellor i'm going to americal accepted it all to made him with a deadline of july first by then merkel will have performed a political miracle in europe or she herself could be headed for the history books . we believe that uncoordinated rejection of asylum seekers at our borders in the heart of europe could lead to a negative domino effect at germany's expense in get that these things will not happen automatically we in the c.d.o. believe it is important that we first discussed the situation amongst ourselves and only after that will be enter into discussions with the c.s.u. . we saw in spain you know workable decision is made i have decided and the party leaders agree with me that at that point it will be necessary to turn away refugees at all borders. and joining me tonight here at the big table is julian lehmann he is from the global public policy institute think tank he has advised the german foreign office on migration policies and right next to me our very own political correspondent simon young gentlemen w

on the americal scene here in lebanon needs an international deal on migrants to quell a rebellion within her own conservative camp in germany her domestic opponents want germany to reject some refugees at its national borders malcolm favors a european solution but is dampening expectations. on talk on the brussels is just a working meeting there won't be a final declaration. given but we know as well that there won't be any solution among all twenty eight member states on the level of the council next week to the entire package of questions on migration. a good illustration of merkel's problem is italy which says it is overwhelms the country is rejecting migrants rescued by n.g.o.s from the mediterranean and says it won't take back any from germany either. for eastern european member states are boycotting the brussels meeting their leaders also don't think much of reimposed german borders within the e.u. . they were going to get around to. very thought of preventing illegal migrants from entering e.u. territory has to be done at the coast of europe or at the coast of libya not inside the

things have to change but the block is bitterly divided to stave off a crisis back home towns on the americal for her part cannot return home empty handed from the summit she's facing or overalls from her conservative c.s.u. allies over the issue of migration that's threatening the very stability of germany's government and the pressure. the german chancellor must deliver domestically a concession on repatriating migrants is essential for her political survival but it doesn't look like she's getting there it's a tricky problem enough that it's on the one side of course countries which taken refugees need protection and support at the same time refugees and migrants koncz choose where they seek asylum. for followers of. the cold. fronts as america's side president in one eye micro is pushing to set aside national differences he's got little to lose politically francis not on the front lines should refugees be sent back he's going to do we want national or european solutions and cooperation from fighting for european solutions and european cooperation. going you're all been the center shing goo

uncle americal was also treated to a putin performance when she met the russian leader at his summer residence in sochi in two thousand and seven putin had his black labrador with him the german chancellor doesn't like big dogs and moscow had already been informed of that but the kremlin stated later that unfortunately the president knew nothing about the chancellor's discomfort with dogs. that couldn't play it was an underhanded power game he knew perfectly well that an america was afraid of dogs nevertheless he had konnie his labrador with him. fear of dogs it was plain to see she tried to play it down by laughing and making a joke. but her head movements were a lot stiffer than usual sims but medical overcame her discomfort after a moment and thus beat putin at his power game. uncle americal has had plenty of experience with power conscious men she has been through a tough school once coles girl and a seemingly shy environment minister from east germany she has become one of the world's most powerful women the way she presents herself shows a tremendous development but how much of

that might be enough to satisfy them but these are national solutions the problem is that angle americal doesn't want that she wants a europe wide solution and at the same time you've got countries like italy threatening to let people through and send them through to germany so the situation is critical simon young in berlin barber those with brussels thank you. hunger as prime minister viktor orban has emerged as a leading figure of the e.u.'s hardline anti immigration wing today and the country's conservative led parliament approved a raft of tougher new bills on migrant related issues the package of legislation known as stops are us makes it illegal to help asylum seekers who are not entitled to protection in hungary a change of the constitution was also approved outlawing settling foreign populations in hungary this is seen as a swipe at e.u. plans to distribute migrants by critter. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world british prime minister theresa may has won a crucial vote in parliament so a lower house on bret's and legislation a governm
