jones in the meantime we want to tell you that german chancellor angela merkel's ruling christian democratic party and its sister party the bavarian see as you say that they have found middle ground on their long running dispute over refugee policy the deal came after tough talks on sunday night the leaders say that they have agreed to try and keep the total number of refugee cases in germany. the number that they accept here in germany every year to around two hundred thousand in special circumstances the two hundred thousand figure could be exceeded there would be no change or limits on asylum laws for people claiming persecution on an individual basis including dissidents they could still apply for asylum just as before now this agreement it will see however the rules for highly qualified migrants change party leaders say that laws for this group of migrants must reflect the changing needs of german employers well since the refugee crisis began back in two thousand and fifteen merkel said that she would not accept a cap on refugees speaking at a press conference a bit earlier merkel said that t

not huge anymore but you know socialist party and christian democratic party they're both really you know they used to be really big parties and they're also a little suspicious because that gets a lot of people are reminded of of the big socialist party and in the r. and and also you know they're very varied there are many reasons i guess why is it feel. left out by by those parties bank of america by i should say not where they feel those are not the people who. who pride for us you know who understand who we are and what happened to us and and so now there is this new party and this new party just you know all those different people and they just you know speak out about this think and i guess this is what really a lot of people have missed in the last i don't know almost thirty years to speak out you know there were and so many opportunities now too and now all of a sudden in hours there is and they just use that chance interesting comments voice what is the perceptions from the polish side of the border when they look across to germany and the latest developments in the big neigh

this is confirmed in this major dispute between chancellor merkel's christian democrats on one hand and they have a very insistent party the christian democrats the c.s.u. on the other hand i mean this is such a longstanding dispute assuming they've solved that that would remove a huge hurdle. towards making progress with the with two other small parties the free democrats and the greens and securing a stable government for germany absolutely yes one of the key figures of one of the key issues right now in or one of the biggest stepping stones in forming this new coalition the so-called jamaica coalition with the center left greens of the free free market liberals f.t.p. was the c.d.u. and this is you which together form a union that's at least what the name means was that this union didn't show any unity at all no they half perhaps this union on one of the key figures one of the one of the central points and now they can go and speak with one tongue to the other parties to the greens and to the democrats and of course those two parties both want an immigration law as well certainly outlines of an agreement. beginning

forming a new government in germany, as javier was saying, chancellor angela merkel's ruling christian democratic partynd the csu say they have found common ground over the long-running dispute on refugee policy. the announcement came after tough talks on sunday night. the leaders say they have agreed to try to keep the total number of refugees to around 200,000 per year. since the refugee crisis began in 2015, chancellor angela merkel said that she would not accept a cap on refugees. our political correspondent is here at the table with me. good evening. did the german chancellor just accept a cap on refugees? reporter: she did and she didn't. there is no upper limit in the document. it is more a statement of intention. she says in the very press conference where the 200,000 were given as a maximum number that is the 200,001st person to come and claim asylum would also be treated in due process. so yes, it leaves a lot of room for new for, both for -- and a lot of room for maneuver, but for her and the csu leader. it is something widely supported not just in bavaria, but across germany. a lot of germa

subsequently became the new deal, and then became the democratic party, he said in return for that give up democracy. forget the democracy stuff. called the christian democratic party. get rid of all that and we'll give you all of these social goodies, and that deal that underscored german politics in the 19th century, continues today. it's essentially what the left offers. we'll give you the goodies but don't insist on power, let us have the power. instead of a government of aristocracy from birth, it's a government of aristocracy from schools. i went to oxford, cambridge, and you pour pet wait yourself. so that -- purr pet wait yourself so the european union is an effort by the bureaucrats to i assert they're power over the populous and over the average person. was one of the leaders of the brexit campaign and that analysis -- [applause] -- thank you. and i had a cute moment there. they were talk to me about their issues and all sorts of stuff, fish, farming, manufacturing, currency, immigration, and they said, how do we put this in slogans? so i said, your slogan should be: no! help me pronounce the way a three-year-old wore. no! so, we took the

they gave 70% of the money to the christian democratic party that it raised. in italy during the 1960s and 70s to stop the communists from taking italy. with it went disinformation and sabotage and the whole deal. but now brennan and holder turned those agencies from bright red to deep blue. they became apostles, , not of capitalism and of democracy, but of the left-wing tenets, of the global governance, this collectivism of the whole obama agenda. but they still remembered their playbook. they still remember the moves but now they were deploying them on behalf of the left, not have the right. and when trump got elected, surprisingly, they called all the guys together and they said stager desks, don't leave, don't quit, don't resign. remain at your position and we will transfer you to civil service jobs so you can't be fired. and over 1000 top officers at the cia and the fbi within a ten week time frame were transferred from appointed to civil service positions for precisely that reason. they said your mission is to stay behind and sabotage this administration

is nevertheless the defeat already has spurred the debate within the christian democrats on the party's future political orientation. it's untrue sure to show our entire political program it must be clear that an alternative to ass on the right side of the political spectrum is not necessary. i believe a shift to the right would simply be the wrong signal that people want us to solve their problems. pressures also coming from the cd used to variances to party c s u the party fears losing the elections in bavaria next year and sees its only viable chance of moving further to the right members of the scene those with a lesson learned is that we need to form a stable government in berlin and the near future. a government in which we as the c.d.u. and sees you leave a distinctive conservative moderate. conservative. so confident. the center left green party is one of the two potential coalition partners of america's christian democrats together with the free democrats both also have lost votes during the election and those saxony and both made it clear today that they do not want to give up

again and how long this is all going to take at the moment all three parties that were involved this morning the christian democrats of angular marco sister party the christian social union from bavaria and the free democrats the market liberals all said that this first initial talk went well but they expected to take a lot more time and a lot more effort actually to bring results but john still michael is not going to be talking to the green party another potential coalition box know what are expected to be the pressure points in those talks that are going to take place in the building behind you. well exactly this is the parliamentary association it's a kind of private members club of parliamentarians see a sort of neutral ground i think you can say for all of those involved and obviously the green party they're the most left wing party involved in these talks on in terms of these talks on the left spectrum and the furthest away from them all the big variance the christian social union they are trying to push anglo-american into a right wing more right wing policies the greens obviously have no intention of going

americal seaview on the social democrats and what we see in here is the kind of very some of hoped for the national level you see the old parties the big old parties the christiandemocrats i'm going to mackerels party on the social democrats have a very tight race here indeed there was a fierce debate between the two top candidates and it's a neck and neck race it's very much back to the future it's a kind of election race we're used to here in germany back from the nineteen eighties so the parties feel more comfortable with yet and yet it's much tighter we simply don't know who's going to make it all right it's a blast from the past to say what kind of implications could the result have for the coalition talks with the national government that begin this week. well those coalition talks about until this is all over because the big question here is what kind of coalition could be formed here in lower saxony it seems quite evident that a continuation of the social democrat green coalition we've seen here is most likely not going to be on the cards there are different mixes indeed we could see a left leaning social democrat green left party alliance and if that h

it shows the weakness of the christian democrats, and then they have to sort things out among themselves. the problem was not so much the green partyit is the christian democratic union that is not able to. guy: good morning. the story of the morning is the breakdown in relations between the united states and turkey. turkey is a big feature of the political landscape in germany. do you anticipate a forced merkel term will bring this course -- will bring --? it is difficult to for see, because it is not even see who will form it and how it will look. deal withon, how to it will be an important issue to sort out among the coalition partners when the coalition is to be formed. guy: can i brought it out? i --n i brought -- and u -- can i ben roaden it out? do you think fiscal policy is to take? sensed: it doesn't make from the german perspective. it is too low. public property declined in value very much. you can see this. many bridges are broken. we think we should increase investments that are good for germany, and it can also help. matt: it is shocking how out of shape the autobahn is. anyst the entire length in direction. you think

for that for now fighting here in germany chance for all the americans governing christian democrats and their sister party the bavarian c.s.u. say they found middle ground on their long running dispute over refugee policy. came after tough talks late sunday night the leaders say they've agreed to try to keep the total of refugees germany excepts to two hundred thousand per year since the refugee crisis began in two thousand and fifteen although americans said she would not accept any cap on refugee numbers for the very latest on the story let's cross over now to our political correspondent thomas sparrow thomas chancellor machall has said time and time again that she's against any limit two hundred thousand has been the magical number there is she now backing down. brian in a way she is backing down in particular after this agreement that was reached yesterday it's seen as a concession to the sister party the c. as you head of the very difficult coalition talks but very important for. two it's one if you look at the wording of the agreement it clearly state that it's a it's a goal that they want to reach
