sister party here in bavaria which prides itself as being more conservative there's no secret it's no secret that hosty were for the now interior minister but still says you party leader was against the chancellor's migration policy from day one of what became known as the migration crisis now we're seeing this being brought to a head once again unexpected for many and the big question is is what angle america managed to secure those bilateral multilateral agreements she brought home from brussels enough to satisfy the expectations of the sea use you here in bavaria according to what angular machall told public television today she certainly feels so we're also hearing more moderate tones from someone like monthly to veba who's a leading c.s.u. figure but also happens to be the leader of the european people's party the conservative bloc in the european parliament so this still the big question mark what is actually being discussed now behind me behind those cloth closed doors and eventually it will waiting for the public statement on whether it is enough or whether bavaria the c.s.u.

this is all you migration story, not an economic story, bavaria is one of the richest federal states in germany, really low unemployment, things are doing very well, so this is about controlling borders and the thing we are seeing around the world of migration and how we cope with that. we have to keep a close by obviously on how this plays out, the euro is wea ker on how this plays out, the euro is weaker today, no big surprises because as you say this could have a serious impact on chancellor merkel‘s leadership. this is probably the biggest challenge she has seen for many years in terms of her position. this is her fourth term as chancellor, she's been in power for 13 years and a power be reckoned with, it is entirely possible she will win this power struggle and he will leave and the coalition cobbles on but that said if this goes bad and if the coalition breaks down or she is seen as an enfeebled leader what we could haveis as an enfeebled leader what we could have is what is supposed to be your‘s powerhouse member state weekend on certain and that isn't great to europe. abs

the conservatives from bavaria and they are in fact even though they're in the same political family they have been for many years also political adversaries so that must have been pretty interesting talk last night but in fact we don't know anything about it and we don't really know whether there was any progress on resolving this crisis between those two systems parties at the moment so likely talking over that deal that merkel brought back from brussels a deal that was hailed as a break three deal but was it really that because we also heard that the czech republic andriy denied approving its deal with italy is far off do you think that it will be enough to console the bavarians and stop them from implementing their i mesh is there's two ways of looking out at this one is a kind of rational way and one is a kind of emotional irrational way if you look at it rationally then you must say that i'm going to not call brought back from brussels a lot more than was expected she is potentially finding bilateral agreements to send back refugees with a dozen or more other e.u. countries tha

their race against the far right party the alternative for germany party who are doing pretty well in bavaria according to the polls now this discussion we've been hearing the last couple weeks has been making international headlines to the big question in the air was will chancellor merkel's government reap the parked during this crisis many say it's done irreparable damage to germany's political institutions how do you see two things. i think there it's done massive damage to any trust there was between the governing parties in the coalition especially the c.d.u. c.s.u. so that's why that's one issue and also i think. there's a word in jim and you know it terry as well as i do politics but they're also night people being disenchanted disgruntled to decide disillusioned with politics in the way politics is is carried out in berlin i think this is an episode in german politics where many people will look at what has happened in the last couple of weeks they'll say to themselves was this egomania at work was this all in any way necessary and they will be disillusioned with that political elite

up in bavaria in october. what this really is about is the election and a standing in the state and if they can keep their hold on power in bavaria. theiruld guess that if approval ratings continue to go down, there would be other reasons they would potentially be in conflict with the chancellor over. is there any possibility of delaying a decision on this until after those elections? chad: i think it is very difficult for them to do that. they have basically given the chancellor and ultimatum and they gave that ultimatum two weeks ago and then they extended the deadline. want to, they really have some sort of answer before the election in part because there is a populist party to the rights of them now here in germany called the afd and they are very concerned about their voters being sucked away by this populist right-wing party over immigration issues. they need the conclusion of some sort before the election to take that to their voters and say, we have gotten tough. a border state along the mexican border

politicians in bavaria in germany are trying to win over voters ahead of the elections in october the c.s.u. party which is in a coalition with the german chancellor angela merkel's christian democrats has moved further to the right in their attempt to stop people voting for the anti immigration party one hour from dominic. on a warm summer evening for many bavarians the beer garden is a must certainly that's true. and tonight accompanying the salads and schnitzels there's also political chatter because the local m.p. has dropped in to hear people's concerns as this is election year the christian social union is taking no chances this is a belief that once we're here to speak for the voters to persuade them that ours is the right way as a genuine people's party we can govern bavaria that we can keep our society pulling together not apart and so our economy prospers and iraq share in it. but that's the problem for his party. traditionally this parliament has been a stronghold for the c.s.u. in election after election since world war two it seemed to have a stranglehold both on parliame

s you party here in bavaria certainly this hasn't played out in the polls that well the c.s.u. is facing elections and various so the challenge here really is to separate out the implications for the central government and here certainly the c.s.u. is teetering on the brink of going it alone of the interior minister declaring that he might want to start rejecting migrants who are preregistered in other e.u. states at the border despite what some within his own party see as a pretty broad success of getting fourteen plus states although we see those visit brothers eastern states retreating from this claim already but certainly more willing to take migrants and they have been before but clearly horsy hopeful wants to be seen to be tough also to be tough germany's borders and this is the big question mark will he take his sea use you cross the sea crossed that red line which could end up shaking up government we are hearing that he is getting a lot of backing from his own party delegates in this building behind me but what he will actually announce in the end there are many questi

, we were also running in bavaria and that would be a threat to the csu. i think there is angela merkel fatigue, but i don't think people reckoned with stepping back so early in term. whether or not it collapses or stays together, angela merkel is still in post which will please many people that it's another chip away at her authority in already a much weaker governmental position anyway. how long can you go on operating like that? people realise that after the election in september she came out the winner, she still enjoys over 50% of support here. there doesn't seem to be an alternative at the moment. 0thers seem to be an alternative at the moment. others are lurking from behind that could perhaps step up although not at this moment. and i think she knows that. but she has definitely weakened but the other hand she's also framing this as a defence of the liberal international order. and with president trump on the other side most people also want angela merkel to stay and see this through, they'll know this will probably be her last term and don't necess

this comes from bavaria, this paper, csu heartland, escalation in the union. many people thought when seehofer said last night, or yesterday, but he was ready to step down that perhaps we would get clarity but just after midnight, he came out again and said i want another meeting with angela merkel. worth pointing out, these two are not best buddies in any case. it means the uncertainty goes on. we aren't sure where the leadership of the csu stands over this critical issue which horst seehofer as such a problem with, he doesn't want to allow asylu m problem with, he doesn't want to allow asylum seekers who have already registered somewhere else in the eu to be allowed across the german border at all. that's the big sticking point with angela merkel at the moment. that may be resolved later in the day because there has to bea later in the day because there has to be a further meeting between these two parties, but, as i say, still shrouded in uncertainty. andrew plant as the background for you. he is part of chancellor merkel‘s coalition government, but has b

and its sister party here in bavaria this cus you that they both the both share a common fate so. this really translates into this is a very long lasting marriage almost seven decades and at the same time they might be hitting a really rough patch but they've they're united for their political future while it certainly didn't look that way or doesn't look that way according to hospital for right now who himself put that litmus test out that whatever chance was to bring home from brussels which many delegates here recognize as being more than could have been hoped for but he basically says it's only hot air until it's translated into real action it's not. that the word mended everybody to learn in german ahead of this weekend it doesn't amount to the same as directly rejecting pre-registered migrants the german borders and this is something where hosty will for clearly appears to be very firm to say the very least and for which for him became a litmus test of his own political predator latino bridges were built there was a way out another deadline to give the chancellor more time a

time this follows the four conversation that horse suitable for this use you policy lead to here in bavaria had with the german chancellor last night he was remarkably tight lipped coming into here and we heard some very different voices from the vote for instance he's a leading c.s.u. a party member but at the same time the leader of the european people puts party in the european parliament and of course he has of more of a european brussels approach he gave a sense that the c.s.u. managed to rock europe yes you used those words and the sense that his feeling was that angela merkel managed to achieve more than even the sea use you has expected well we also hear some different voices coming in some skeptics particular him bavaria which bore the brunt of that migration crisis in twenty fifteen and a desire to have more control now that could potentially mean the interior minister hall seawolf acting pretty much alone rejecting migrants at the german border that could mean de facto closing of borders and that's something uncle america wants to avoid. as chancellor merkel has said she greenies

is the conservative party in bavaria bavaria will be seeing regional elections coming up in the next couple of months they have made migration the main issue during this time in many ways to face off a challenge from the anti immigration deep party they'll turn to for germany party how much can we perceive of these moves to be just campaigning or have to do more with internal politics. well it no doubt has a lot to do with the regional politics here the alternative for german the far right anti migration party which is a single issue party moved from being a single issue party against the euro now a single issue party on migration got twelve point four percent in the last elections here the very end now that was a shock and a blow to the c.s.u. which traditionally strives for an absolute majority fifty percent plus well it's now about forty percent here and it has not been able really to gain ground against the far right through the standoff with angela merkel c.d.u. party so that of course raised a lot of questions internally here and this is also why we saw this use you taking a lo

here in bavaria and its elections and many here simply were afraid that losing that union with merkel c.d.u. party could also mean very bad news for them at those polls in october him varia. and finally melinda do you see any room for compromise between chancellor angela merkel and the various c.s.u. . absolutely i do and you've heard some rhetoric over the couple last couple of days that looked like they were ten sensually trying to create a face saving ability to. both sides the chancellor herself said that the c.s.u. had helped to bring a dynamic to the process if agreement within the european union a number of different members of her party have tried to get the same indication in other words trying to say to the c.s.u. hey look you've achieved something you know can't we now perhaps stand out but but really at the moment the cards have to be played in in bavaria to see what then will happen here in berlin and can occur in munich at the c.s.u. meeting and then the crane at the party headquarters of the city thank you. poles have opened in mexico's elections after the most violent

so we're going to persuade them that ours is the right way as a genuine people's party we can govern bavaria that we can keep our society pulling together not apart and so our economy prospers and agriculture. but that's the problem for his party. traditionally this parliament has been a stronghold for the c.s.u. in election after election since world war two it seemed to have a stranglehold both on parliament and politics here and yet if the opinion polls are accurate that grip may be slipping where once the c.s. you could count on winning almost half the votes now that's fallen below forty percent the nearest rivals. our the center left green party with the social democrats a few points back in third place and the far right anti immigrant close behind some people blame this man for the c.s. use present predicament horsed zero of federal interior minister and long time party leader his plan for tougher border controls and an accelerated program of deporting failed asylum seekers pleases the far right but it's also galvanized the left and center left in opposition and some analysts say some

this state of bavaria tightened controls at the height of europe's migration crisis in twenty fifteen since then hundreds of people smugglers and irregular migrants have been arrested. germany's interior minister has now gone a step further demanding that people who've sought asylum in another e.u. country be sent back there. is could be a number on that if a person has registered themselves in another country then that country's responsible for the person to speak with and it's reasonable for that person to be turned back at the german border on the grounds that sort of was a demand which has plunged germany's governing coalition into crisis and while the e.u. tries to find a unified migration policy the varia is forging ahead with its own plans a new border police force with five hundred officers will begin patrolling on monday for guard lists of what happens in berlin and brussels and we're back now with political correspondent ripper vader vault he's joining us from berlin as we mentioned so rupert you know we got some insight there into the major effect at the very end politics i

these are cows from bavaria. that'll ation system is running at full capacity but even that brings little relief . water tanks on the trucks have long since run dry and there's no way to refill them here in the gridlock. more and more animals are dying. suffering in the heat was no possibility of escape many of the animals injure themselves. just magnificent bull like many other animals is also facing death. it's an intolerable situation for both animals and humans. as many times as the also extremely angry that the transports to turkey function so badly and that things haven't changed and he is and that was to strive or has been waiting three days in the scorching heat because of a bureaucratic error and tag did not match the shipping documents. he's furious because he's not been able to give his animals any food or water for three days. but. i. know many say transposing animals to tick is a nightmare. some veterinarian offices in germany will not approve any transports to turkey during these top summer weeks. b

direct competition with the far right if tea party but it got more than twelve percentage points of bavaria in this past general elections now with recent elections coming up this sees you was cleared. visibly in fear of that if the posse and the f.t. credits itself with having pushed the agenda on migration that of pushing the c.s.u. to to really clamp down become boy stream i mean their campaign as of next week is vote for the original this is what i got from the end the party conference at the weekend so but it didn't pay off it didn't pay off and that's what we saw the other leading figures in the c.c. already build bridges know that pasta week we saw a willingness to endorse what most secure in brussels and we saw possible for tell all those present and he made it all about himself and i what i don't understand now is trying to understand this yesterday when there when this latest crisis began to erupt. xavier for pushed the chancellor and said given the ultimatum and said you go to bring to brussels you could at this summit and you come back with a plan or else. that and why didn't he

have transit centers and the border and we want to make this clear for our viewers the border between bavaria in austria we're not talking about the entire external border of germany right exactly the german austrian fouda also the bavarian border which is the home state of the interior minister or they or for us they will see as you posse is currently fighting an election campaign particularly against the far right party the anti migration single issue policy right now and it needs to contest those elections in mid october and the attempt by the c.s.u. to sound a lot more like the f.t. backfired over the past week we simply saw them slip in the polls but we also didn't see the far right if to gain that terribly much from this so this simply wasn't working for the c.s.u. there's also political infighting a lot of this was about regional politics and lot of it was about the political persona of course. him simply wanting to see eventually the german chancellor admits that what became known as the open arms well was wrong and he was never going to hear a say that but he certainly pushed beyond

the thinking in bavaria was that hosty will fund needed to prove that she can deliver control at the very border having moved what i mean now currently there are three border crossings there's a mobile post where these border texas take place so this is the beginning of essentially tightening a borda which songs is staying in but he now delivers on his promise that people who would he says illegally try to enter but if you even if you have apply for asylum elsewhere it's not illegal to come to every national caves also of the fine points. but it's proves that he's willing to put real infrastructure in place to tighten up for what i mean that's what the c.s.u. has promised it's first as both of you final final question what does this what we've seen in the last twenty four hours and this agreement tonight no one was fired no one resigned everyone still in power what does this tell the world though about. germany and its chancellor. that the longest serving european political leader is not no longer a sixth of european politics and that she too can be pushed to the brink and that germa

some people say that to be born in bavaria is to win the lottery of life and now here at least wednesday's winners have gained a prize of a very different kind don't it came. back to scar. and that's it for me for now but i'm going to be back shortly with more twists and turns at the u.s. white house as the president donald trump seems to change direction again on russian influence on the twenty sixth elections from. the promise of peace in the middle east not. enough but a new dilemma after the death of the man at the center of palestinian struggle. now more than forty years after the status meant how far as the p.l.o. come to achieving its hopes and dreams concluding the turbulent story of the struggle for palestinian homes p.l.o. history of a revolution on al-jazeera. to stand the differences. and the similarities of cultures across the world. al-jazeera. to song they aren't worth millions of dollars to the nepalese they are living god. the best against the fight to reclaim the poles stolen idols not a zero. building a new life on an entirely beach living off the sea and the last. a dre

fight for almost between america and her interior minister the sort of leader of this use you hear in bavaria there was a lot of talk course the office saying that this was also a question of political credibility and certainly it is a fight that. appears to have won for now but the big lingering question both munich and berlin enter this next political week is whether these trembles here in bavaria within the sea use you what kind of effect they will have in berlin whether they have the stuff to become a political earthquake that could threaten the stability of the government of anglo-american in the end potentially chancery itself. china do stand by with me in the studio is our political correspondent nina hazare so nina. as we wait for example for to make his statement what kind of a reaction are we likely to get from angela merkel what are her choices if they hope for doesn't fact announce he's stepping down. it is slightly more complicated than that because he can only offer to resign. and then that will have to be accepted by the c.s.u. party leadership and then uncle americal has to le

is growing in the authorities are left having to the side how to share them out now a german town in bavaria saying some may have an answer as the mccain reports. nestling in the alps best discard seems like a picture postcard here the pace of life from cradle to grave is slow and after a long life many locals want this to be their final resting place but the years demand for new grave plots has outstripped supply now the council thinks it's found a solution a lottery for burial plots the town's mayor says he thinks it's the fairest for his community. we tried to figure out how many places we could give how many graves we could give to the people of us discard and it's about two hundred and so we decided to do a lottery to make it the best way. possible the fairest way for everybody to get one of these major industries and so two hundred eighty people put their names forward for those two hundred burial plots all hoping there's would be the first name to be drawn so. he's. that privilege failed to see linda sc the van meaning she gets first choice of all the available plots and there she kno

teachers are trying out the new format twelve year old sophia is watching a math video at home and bavaria she doesn't have much time to learn the new material. yes yes. yes. it's great because you can always really watch the video if you don't understand something. then immaterial from the video is then discussed in the classroom with practice helping the students to internalize the information. in the students can watch the video when and where they want as often as they want so that also means i can start at a more advanced point in the lesson because the students are prepared. to go i. produces the videos from home with a lot of practice he's able to make a two minute video in a half hour he says the film's lessons have improved the students' math skills. and . more school teachers are now using these instructional videos especially for math and physics. knowledge at your fingertips online also helps to level the playing field among students. some students work or have families or doing night school. now they can take all the time. they need. they can fit this in with their domestic li

a battle vote has begun in the german state of bavaria which could have an effect on chancellor angela merkel's coalition one of her partners the c.s.u. has moved further to the right it wants to stop people voting for an anti immigration party that has made gains in the last few years dominic came reports from but they are. almost warm summer evening for many bavarians the beer garden is a must certainly that's true in galle school and tonight accompanying the salads and schnitzels there's also a political challenge because the local m.p. has dropped in to hear those concerns as this is election year the christian social union is taking no chances this is not really what. we're here to speak to the voters to persuade them that ours is the right way as a genuine people's party we can govern bavaria that we can keep our society pulling together not apart and so our economy prospers and. but that's the problem for his party. traditionally this parliament has been a stronghold for the c.s.u. in election after election since world war two it seemed to have a stranglehold both on parliament

or say hope as conservatives down in bavaria the c.s.u. they together have been the bedrock they've been the cornerstone of the central elements of the architecture of german politics for the last twenty five years there was the inter interim government in one thousand nine hundred eight to two thousand and five. social democrat led government that largely for the last two and a half decades three decades it's been these two conservative sister puppies uncle america would like to keep it like that for the time being i'm sure because these are as i've already mentioned very volatile times the times of trump the times of putin the times of edwin the times of trade wars we just had an election in germany we had a long negotiating phase after those elections far too much uncertainty i'm going to want some stability there she needs it desperately what's the endgame for the c.s.u. here because their electorate has been polled they're in the area where the thank you very much an election is coming up and it's not playing with them this is ultimat

in germany conservatives in the state of bavaria are to decide on sunday whether the e.u. deal clinched by chancellor angela merkel.

in bavaria and that will be borrett a threat to them. they've just had an election, them. they've just had an election, the government has barely been in office, i don't think people reckoned with her stepping back so early in the term. so whether it colla pses early in the term. so whether it collapses model stays together angela merkel is still in post which will leave a lot of people, that's another chip away at her authority ina much another chip away at her authority in a much weaker governmental position anyway. how long can you gone operating like that?” position anyway. how long can you gone operating like that? i think most people realise that even after the election in september she came out the winner at the weekend, but she still enjoys over 50% of support here, there doesn't seem to be an alternative at the moment. there are others looking from behind that could perhaps step up but not at this moment. and i think she knows that. she has definitely weakened but on the other hand she is framing this as defending the liberal
