reporter: despite the language of closure pearnl beiny being well-known to the germans in the past, mrs. merkel says she won't hear any talk of closed european borders. and with that, both pillars of success here are in doubt. >> and jonah joins us live now. it looks like haggling in ankara and brussels will go into the night. where do we stand at the end of the first day jonah? >> what we understand maryam is that european leaders are probably pouring over a draft proposal put to them by turkey, a new deal that replaces whatever understanding there might be at the beginning of the day. reuters has put it out. it talks about turkey agreeing to readmit all so-called irregular migrants, that's the term being used to include all refugees, economic migrants and others who made that journey from turkey across the aegean sea, turkey would take them all back in terms of the doubling of the money, a $3.3 u.s. dollars being paid until 2018 to help turkey on its territory, wanting to obtain schengen visas to visit europe, and a key provision here, a one to one resettlement plan being proposed by the turk

mr. merkel, you said the chancellor squandered european political capital by failing to coordinate better with others. who is around to coordinate with? even her erstwhile ally, austria, has gone for a nationalistic solution. given the reality of what she's dealing with, isn't this deal with turkey perhaps the best she can get? wolfgang: i don't think so. i don't think it was correct and right and politically wise that she first struck a deal with turkey and not with france. she negotiated with turkey, came to a deal, then presented it more or less surprisingly to the other head of states of the european member states. what she did not do very farsighted was not to get france into the boat. i think this is for the perspective of the european union one of the biggest mistakes she did in this refugee crisis. melinda: frankly, france hasn't been particularly helpful. france has said they are going to take next to no refugees. wolfgang: they have a good argument. it was merkel who opened the borders. merkel did not go immediately after the opening of the borders in september of the last year

mrs. merkel will say do not sell bmw to britain as a punishment. or mr. hollande will say to not sell that wine to britain, or do you think the leaders will tell the people, you must have lower profits and higher unemployment to punish the british? it does not chime with reality. countries do not trade with countries. companies sell to consumers. if they make goods and services at the right quality at the price people want to pay. there are lots of fluctuations in the global economy, currency being one of them. i think people have to be rational about all of this. this nonsense this morning from the cbi that we would lose one million jobs, what they are actually saying is if you look at the worst-case scenario, you would actually create a million jobs fewer than you might create in the best case scenario the between now and 2030. there are variables in that. >> how is the leave campaign addressing the economic consequences? europe is stagnating. the u.s. is doing ok but no one needs to shop at wh

some supported the general stance of the government and mrs. merkelis. ,he ones who were against this they voted for the original. that is not some muddled in between position that does not seem honest or sincere. hans: they would have done a little bit better, you would've seen some votes but they would have consolidated. >> they put because they gave an opening for the green party candidate and the spd candidate. they were the ones supporting the general government's position. we are not trying to sell out to the right-wing populists or take some sort of strange middle position. that weekend the candidates. will she be there to leave the party in 18 months in the general election? >> i think you can say with some certainty they will enter parliament. it's not clear that they will get 15% or 20% of the vote. they have a lot of groundwork to do. there is a lot of interparty discussion between extreme right-wingers who are against muslims and those who want a more moderate right-wing populist position. it's not at all clear how well the party will gel

who won the last election with a simple photo of her hand showing that you are in safe hands with mrs. merkeld 1.1 million people coming into the germany in the past year. and --y economic writer economic migrants? are they refugees? the german people have not been able to express their fears. they feel merkel has lost control, that her politics on this issue have not been right. one third of germans say they would consider voting for afd. make no mistake. merkel is definitely fighting for political survival on the migration issue. an issue,hat wasn't if this hadn't happened this year, where would merkel be? always been issues around the eurozone crisis and so on. but given germany's position in europe, merkel -- let's not forget that until a few months ago, she still had approval ratings up to 70% at times. that has slid tremendously, but it is still 50%. let's not forget the compared to other european leaders, merkel is doing well. .he's very machiavellian potentialpped all successors on the head. even if she were to do part from german politics, it's not clear who would take her place. let

mrs. merkelsays she won't hear any talk of closed european borders. >> jonas hull reporting. >>> and just a couple of minutes ago. angela merkel said she is optimistic about the negotiations, but that europe needs more time to consider turkey's proposal. and still ahead, oklahoma shaking. the state's new plan to deal with frac-ing-related earthquakes. >>> and the families of disappeared flight mh 370, are still looking for close sure. >> we're here to fully get into the nuances of everything that's going on, not just in this country, but around the world. getting the news from the people who are affected. >> people need to demand reform... >> ali velshi on target. >>> oklahoma is expanding regulations on oil and gas companies to reduce the number of frac-ing earthquakes bat v -- rattling the state. in 2013 frac-ing companies injected more than a billion barrels of wastewater into the ground causing the earthquake. heidi is the answer simply to cut back on the amount of water pumped into the groun

mrs. merkel is in trouble because she said we will take whoever runs fastest furthest and that left trouble for children being stranded on the other side of the situation. you have a lot of single young man who could get to germany quickly before the germans eventually put up the gates. that has been a big worry. it a lot people's minds, it is who are the migrants coming at europe and what will that impact have? when you look at the u.k., you have clearly the best performing european economies at the present time leaving the euro zone wall behind. to put that in context, we are constantly being told in the referendum in britain that membership of the european union is key to our economic uccess, which does beg the question why is it then that over 20 countries with the highest unemployment, 16 are in the european union, and why of the top 10, only one is not in the european union that is turkey? if it is so great for economic performance, why is it not working for almost everybody else? the gover

. >> despite closure, well-known to the germans in advance, mrs. merkel, the original author of the open door policy some iss she won't hear anything about closed borders. with that, success is in doubt. jonah hull, al jazeera, brussels. >>> the turkish prime minister ahmed davutoglu. >> our desire is to rescue the likes of the refugees, and discourage those who want to use and disploit th exploit the ref. if a nato vessel is close to people in stress at sea we are obliged to according to international law to help those people. and then they will be helped and we agree that the defense minister on meeting will be sent back to turkey if they come from turkey but this has to be done in accordance with international law and international regulations. >> let's bring in jonah hull live from brussels. this meeting, i'm sure the words blackmail and bribery won't come up at least in open conversation but in fact saying, given us double the money or we won't play ball. make sure we have good talks joining european union or we won't help you out, one in the same th

i don't think in the short-term this will only strengthen the resolve of mrs. merkelo push for this european deal. they wants a deal with turk ey that doesn't put any one european country, be it german or greece or austria at a disadvantage but to have a pan european solution to turkey. she tried to push through with this. plan b will only come in to effect if the deal falls through. >> good to hear your thoughts on this t thank you for joining us. director of the global public policy institute in berlin. thank you. >> thank you for having me. >>> egypt's justice minister lost his job over iraqis remarks he made about the prophet muhammad. he asked if he would jail journalists. he applied saying he would arrest someone even if it was the prophet, himself. he was cogdetermined by human rights watch after he made comments to advocate the killing of muslim brotherhood supporters. >>> time for an update on the world weather on the nehour wit richard. sorry, richard. apology. we are looking at pakistan there will, many people dead? >> some rally really torrential r

mrs. merkel's party. it has been bleeding support.share of it has been going to the alternative for germany. the party that has been campaigning against immigration and it has gotten a real lift from the refugee crisis. hans: campaigning against immigration with some controversial language at times. around theg went media about one of their leaders saying that we should be ready to shoot at refugees at the border if they tried to cross illegally as a last resort. you get the idea. let me jump in. let us say that that kind of language in this kind of politics works for those campaigning against merkel. what happens post that? what is the next story? ofthe thing they can be sure is that she will face of a lot more criticism for her refugee policy. we know what her policy has been. it has been widely revealed. to maintain europe open borders. she is looking to turkey to help stem the flow of refugees from syria and elsewhere. that whole construct will come under fire especially from inside her party block if the party does badly in all t

mrs. merkel is not backing down.'s opened germany's doors to more than one million refugees since last year. [ applause ] >> translator: today, more than 90% of people are say figure someone really is fleeing from war, terror, the i.s., and hardship, must get protection among us. it's all the more important that we succeed in sending back those who are not coming from war and hardship but for economic reasons -- which is understandable, but which has nothing to do with the asylum or geneva refugee convention, that we tell them you have to leave our country again. those who want quick decisions must vote for the christian democrats union, a trademark this sunday. [ applause ] >>> repercussions are packing more venom into the u.s. presidential race. police in chicago have charged four people for clashes friday between trump supporters and protesters. concerns about violence led trump to cancel a rally there. it did not stop these protesters from disrupting a trump event on saturday in missouri. the republican front-run

. >> they're overwhelming countries on the path to germany which mrs. merkeland i think that's going to cause further resentment inside the eu adding to their existing problem. stuart: we have reports that italian troops are moving to a border, not their border, some other border. what a story. all right, mr. ambassador, thank you very much indeed. check the futures again, we should because we're going to open just a tad higher. okay? maybe that's the result of janet yellen yesterday. we're pretty close to being positive for the dow for the year. you'll watch it in a moment and later this hour, one of the stars of the passion live, a music cal interpretation of one of the bible's most passionate story, it's on tape-- no, it's not on tape, but it is on fox. .. i appreciate you coming by. absolutely. the market's been pretty volatile lately. there is a lot at stake here, you know? look jim, we've been planning for this for a long time. and we'll keep evolving things. so don't worry. knowing what's on your mind and acting accordingly. multiplied by 13,000 financi

i think it's far less catastrophic for mrs. merkel than people say.y to the hard right. frankly, a lot of people who won were supporting her in different parties. so i think it's premature to be talking about her end, but the refugee crisis certainly isn't over. >> how do we fix it? or is it too little to fix it? this is a problem that has been building for so long. >> the fix only comes when the war stops, obviously, so until you can stop the syrian war, then you're going to have a hell of a lot of people coming out of that country. amazingly, if you had me in three weeks ago and said to me, is this cease-fire going to hold, i would have said, probably not. but it's actually held better in more parts of syria, not all of it, but more parts of it, than most people would have guessed. that's providing some hopefully more than territory reprieve at the moment. temporary reprieve, both for the people inside the country. we've got 2,000 staff inside syria doing water, sanitation, basic work to keep people alive, and they're having a reprieve, they're able

mr. sparks observes ms. merkel and ms. clinton will be busy and influential this weekend.linton difference within their cultures? >> angela merkel has been in power 10 years. they are both familiar faces. they are both people respected more than they are like. they are people who project confidence more than works -- warmth. the important difference that angela merkel is now seen as someone willing to take a big apple whereas hillary clinton is a wreck versus -- risk-averse candidate. tom: all the pundits are america, america, you have spent serious time in paris and across europe as well. what is the cultural distinction between women there and women here? >> and europe, it varies from country to country. i think the big issue, you mentioned they have a big week ahead, angela merkel has a big week ahead because there are regional elections this week in germany that are seen as a referendum on her migrant policy at large. it will be important not only for germany, but for europe. hillary clinton has an important date in florida with the florida primary and a third woman, j

mr. trump: they have to respect us. they do not respect us at all. they don't respect a lot of things happening throughout our country. what angela merkelas done to germany is an outrage. i know german people here all the time. people who love germany and people tell me two years ago, they were saying it is the greatest country on earth and now they are going to leave germany. the first thing you have to do is get them to respect the west and respect us. this has been going on for a long time. i tell the story about general pershing, where there were problems, where they had radical islamic terrorism in the philippines and it is a well-known story. they had a huge problem with the terrorism having to do with islam or having to do with radical islam. he was unbelievably harsh. they didn't have a problem for 28 years. >> people and the islamic world respect the west more? mr. trump: i don't think you can do anything or will be successful unless they respect you. >> let's talk about nato. maybe the u.s. should have a different role. that nato might need a different type of mission. people say america needs to be the leader of nato. do you

merkel's party did not do well. are you concerned this will effect her policy on migration and europe's overall tackling of that issue? mr. earnest: i'm certainly no expert in german politics. i read some of the news coverage of the elections that you cited. we've talked about how countries in europe have been under increasing strain based on the surge in migrants that they've had to take in over the last nine months or so. and that has posed a significant challenge to countries based on the nancial impact of that large population influx. it also has had an impact on the culture of some of these countries. this will be a challenge that europe will be dealing with for at least a generation here. as they determine how to strengthen the unity of the european union, how to manage border controls, but also how to manage the large number of people who have now appeared in their country. there are some who have said that the potential economic benefit is positive. some of the european economies were facing a pretty significant challenge in the form of an aging population. many of these countries have pretty generous benefits fo
