what else has merkel offered? naomi: she has offered to revitalize the eu talks i alluded to earlier. there is talk of financial aid, some 3 billion euros on the table at the moment, and crucially, something that turkey probably once more than financial aid is international recognition and access to the european union through an easier visa system. sarah: naomi conrad in berlin, thank you. after this talks, chancellor angela merkel is visiting her own constituency. at her party's traditional new year's reception, she emphasized the importance of turkey and curving the flow of migrants to europe. she also thanked thousands of germans returning to help the recently arrived refugees. joining us, our guest standing by. fabi and, merkel under a lot of pressure over her open door policy, allowing refugees into germany, especially under pressure from her own party. what was the atmosphere like today? guest: it was the exact opposite. people stood up, clapped their hands, listen carefully, were very supportive of her. eve

what was chancellor merkel hoping to get from the turkish prime minister when he arrived in ber len.reporter: what she really wanted to hear is how he could speed up the efforts that he says have started to slow down the number of refugees comes to europe. germany took in more than a million migrants in 2015. for that reason she is under intense political pressure right now. the prime minister at the joint press conference they gave just a few moments ago said that turkey has started to implement measures to allow syrian refugees in turkey, and there are 2.5 million or so, as mrs. merkel was reminding us, turkey started to allow them to enter the work force, to get an education and so on, but at the same time, we have been hearing from angela merkel that all of that pressure has the not convinced her that germany should as some other leaders are saying start to put a element, a cap on new arrivals. she said that the humanitarian situation makes it imperative that refugees are in fact offered a legal way to make their way into the european union. >> translator: we have once again hear

i'm sure he will receive a warm reception from angela merkel. one of the strongest allies that david cameron has in europe. while this decision, any final decision on eu reform, is not done without a miracle, and she feels the weight within the eu. i think there is no doubt whatsoever about the willingness on behalf of germany and angela merkel in particular to find some kind of accommodation that allows david cameron to effectively camp can keep the u.k. in the eu. david cameron is racking up the air miles recently to try to persuade his eu colleagues about the need for reform. you mentioned angela merkel seemingly being on his side but there are 20 or so nations that to not seem so amenable. >> that's true. outcome of time, the last month's eu summit in was surprisingly positive the prime minister in that there was a remarkable show of goodwill for the u.k. it's almost certain they will find some kind of compromise that he can take back home to show to voters. no one knows what the shape of the compromise will be. angela merkel has been clear

so what was it that merkel was seeking from turkey? and do you think she got it?> reporter: it has been fascinating listening to those comments by angela merkel because they stand in such sharp contrast to everything comes out of other european capitols. show was saying that those refugees are going to keep coming, but europe needs to find ways of turning illegal immigration, into legal migration, making it possible for those hundreds of thousands of people who are risking their lives as she put it, crossing the mediterranean in places like the greek island of lesvos, coming from turkey, trying to find alternatives to them having to risk their lives to make it into the european union. this comes at a time when so many country toughening their border controls, and germany has started to implement some checks at its border. this all goes against the schengen idea of free movement within the e.u. angela merkel seems to really be allying on ankara to start stopping the flow from turkey, but in terms of turkey's wiggle room, it says it hasn't received enough money. it
