sister party the c.s.u. coalition partners fell out over my brief policy the big move for reportedly unhappy with the deal chancellor merkel agreed to with the european union. american evanston thanks for joining us let's go straight to d.w. is correspondent michelle the krishna who's in munich where the c.s.u. leadership has been meeting and joining me in the studio is usually a political correspondent you know has a you know a do stand by i want to go directly to michelle so we just heard that horse a hole for the interior minister made a very brief statement a short time ago what did he have to say. well basically he wouldn't talk about his offer of resignation that he clearly made behind closed doors this evening to see you so you don't see in the german parliament what he did say though is that the c.s.u. would launch another attempt of finding common ground with anglo machall c.d.u. party this of course being an attempt to save that union of these two parties that this decades old old political marriag

party. now. this is really been a very long evening and enormous delay of before we're hearing anything from horace home for why have things been taking so long. well clearly this was no longer a question of finding common ground we did hear the criticism of. course of migration after she was able to secure more than a dozen bilateral multilateral agreements that e.u. summit we saw a couple of bridges built here from the sea use you side basically saying that she had achieved more than many people had expected and it appears that this became a much more personal 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 eff

was well more so than in the c.d.u. where the german chancellor saw quite a bit of criticism particular of the issue of migration and still sees that criticism. and it raises the question of what that means for the central government whether this would amount to the sees you taking a decision to pull back all three of its ministers proper ministers in the cabinet of german chancellor angela merkel and that would be the real destabilizer in this equation and reach far beyond what is a small tremor here but could amount to a political earthquake once it hits berlin but we still don't have any official confirmation yet all right so this situation could indeed bring down germany's long standing concern alliance if in fact or say hope for does announce his resignation melinda could you please bring us up to speed on how we got here. this conflict essentially started about two and a half weeks ago or less it came to a head two and a half weeks ago there have been long simmering differences on migration policy between these tw

party headquarters our party members getting nervous about what's coming next. the party leadership are meeting now and have been meeting for some time and as various members of the leadership were entering this building they were very tight lipped essentially no commentary whatsoever today but certainly in the past few days we have heard senior members of the party declaring there resoundingly support for the chancellor following tao to european union summit last week many of them saying she actually achieved a great more than they had anticipated both in terms of the overall summit agreement but also in the bilateral negotiations that she held with various countries on the european union's southern perimeter with an aim to getting there agreement that germany would be able to send back refugees who had been registered in those countries when they first entered the european union that is the absolute core of this conflict. just outlined and the chancellor basically has been saying all along and continues to say today that she does not willing as she is not will

leadership meeting and melinda crane is standing by in berlin at the chancellor's c.d.u. party headquarters in china i'd like to begin with you so or stay home for apparently says he doesn't think that the e.u. deal is enough and is reportedly it to make an announcement to this and soon does that mean trouble for the governing coalition. well this whole standoff that we're experiencing here is already trouble both for uncle a makeover whose leadership has been weakened by this but also for the c.s.u. party the very insistent party here that it's proven so rebellious on this particular issue of migration. has told delegates here that this after all was also an issue of credibility this indicates that this also seems to be an issue of how he's perceived whether he's perceived as credible when he says he wants to see more control on the border what america has achieved on paper is rallying a dozen or so and i'm deliberately vague there because some of those eastern states already backing out of. opera tension bilateral agreements while she secured commitments for them to tak

that's the bavarian sister party's two to merkel's c.d.u. party but now he says that he will join one more round of talks as the conservative alliance hangs in the balance here's what say hoffer said after a crisis meeting on sunday. one year we will talk one more time in the interest of our country and the capacity for action of our government which we want to maintain we intend to make a further attempt at reaching agreement on the central question of border controls and turning people back on this question alone. and i hope that this effort succeeds. this is a concession from me now that we're making this attempt. otherwise everything would have already been final today. let's get more now we're joined by max shake with the latest from munich where the c.s.u. leadership was meeting and d.-w. political correspondent brigade evolved is in the german capital berlin welcome to both of you but i'd like to begin with you first because we just heard they offer a pledge there on this meeting later today what should we expect from it. in the end t

party will meet again with chancellor angela merkel c.d.u. later today in a last ditch attempt for the conservative alliance to mend fences they call for high pressure to resign over migration policy but merkel's christian democrats say that they backed her stance of seeking a european solution to the migration crisis and rejects the national approach a favor by the c.s.u. . and in mexico exit polls point to a clear victory for the leftist candidate entrées manuel lopez hoped that those in the country's presidential election the former mayor of mexico city has promised to stamp out corruption reign in violence and lift millions out of poverty. plus out the world cup croatia books their place in the quarterfinals they swedes passed denmark in a county shoot out and will now face the hosts from russia. welcome to the program. chaos grips germany's governor. does a feud over migration cast doubt on the survival of america's coalition last ditch talks among conservative blocks are now set for later today on sunday the interior minister horst as

the bavarian sister party to merkel's c.d.u. was absent from the conservative parliamentary group meeting on monday germany's conservatives are falling apart at the seams but merkel's conservatives remain optimistic. i think whoever has good intentions will in the end find a compromise so i say is deputy party leader we also support our party to angela merkel because she has good arguments and then. the dispute is about the details of germany's migration policy the bavarian c.s.u. party wants to turn away migrants who have already registered in another e.u. state or have already applied for asylum. the chancellor has always made it clear that this wouldn't be part of germany's migration policy something she reiterated once again to her own conservatives earlier today but the c.s.u. boss and german interior minister hosts a hoe for isn't about to back down quietly after a long meeting of his party delegates say hoover threatened in the early hours of monday to step down as interior minister as well the c.s.u. party leader. sort o

that's the very and sister party to merkel's c.d.u. party but now he says that the c.s.u. will come together for one more round of talks with the sea the u.s. the future of their alliance hangs in the balance here's what say hoffer said after the c s u's crisis meeting on sunday. morning one of you we will talk one more time in the interest of our country and the capacity for action of our government which we want to maintain we intend to make a further attempt at reaching agreement on the central question of border controls and turning people back on this question alone. and i hope that this effort succeeds this is a concession from me now that we're making this attempt. otherwise everything would have already been final today. here it is and we have team coverage ahead of those talks let's bring in max who is in munich where the c.s.u. leadership was meeting and political correspondent richard dieter bald as the very latest from the german capital berlin welcome to you both and rupert i'd like to begin with you because they offer as we just heard their pledge to talk one

party but that also has t.v. sake and the german chancellor who described this as a very serious situation indeed and the only way to make sense of it all is not to just talk about the details of migration policy. interior minister was against not closing the borders in twenty fifteen he's criticized her throughout he at one point threatened to take up before the constitutional court so they've always been political allies and enemies at the same time on policy but you have to take a kind of shakespearean outline right on this because this turned deeply personal at the very latest today when hosty who far said she simply won't be fired by somebody who is only tonsil because of him which actually i would challenge. but that certainly is his sentiment if this c.s.u. were to leave this union with anger marcos party she would no longer have a majority in parliament but there are others who might play ball with the greens just to mention one party but why this the whole migrant issue is a non-issue at the moment marga

prides itself in having its own party line is resents being seen as the smaller sister party of the c.d.u. so i would expect those critics of anglo-american also to have their say behind me in the room but also those and there are quite a few we're hearing who say this has gone far enough let's get back down to work and that would mean working with the german chancellor angela merkel as our chief political editor we can occur for standing by for us there and thank you very much . the polls have opened in mexico's elections after the most violent lead up to a vote in the country's history at least one hundred thirty politicians have been murdered since campaigning began presidential frontrunner andras manuel lopez obrador arrived early to cast his vote it's his current bid for the presidency and that's when former mayor of mexico city could i asked the two parties that have governed mexico for nearly a century. in the u.s. hundreds of thousands of demonstrators have been taking part in nationwide protests to show their opposition to the chump's immigration policy iranis comb despite presid

leaders in both parties have said that they do as well we've heard some of uncle americal c.d.u. members very explicitly commending the c.s. use efforts to get the debate moving in the european union saying there wouldn't have been as much movement in brussels if it hadn't been for their contribution in other words offering the very and conservatives a face saving way to deescalate this and we've also heard members of the varian conservative party saying in fact there is now a greater momentum toward discouraging what's called secondary migration that is to say movement by migrants who have been registered out border countries to move on to other countries a significant movement to try to limit that we know that europe works slowly but i think there certainly is a feeling here in this party's headquarters that that some wheels have been set in motion that wouldn't have been otherwise so a potential for compromise if there's no grandstanding in munich and then to crane in berlin and devaney's mechanica as well and munich thank you both. israel has stepped up its security in the bo

delegates and under the mackerels own critics within her own party's cound who suddenly closed ranks behind the german chancellor when they felt the c.s.u. was now trying to dictate the terms and who is chance and how long machall can be chance that well they certainly close ranks behind that but so she was strengthened somewhat internally but here you could sense from what she said that this was a hard fought come from my eyes she is not somebody who uses very emotional language for this but for the german sausage this was quite something to say that this was tough it must have been very tough indeed if she puts in those words and she gave ground there is no doubt about it so they will felt also mention that he felt that he this proved that fighting hard was worth it clearly he says this is my political victory here and i delivered it to myself if you party but there's a not a fall out from this a lot of damage also of the c.s. use credibility that they're serious about the stability of the government and of europe as a whole has been done yet and we know now that there are people w

party will meet again with chancellor michel c.d.u. later today and a last ditch attempt for the conservative alliance to mend fences they hope for had threatened to resign for michael's migration policy but the chancers christian democrats say they've backed her stance of seeking a european solution to the migration crisis and they reject the c.s. use national approach. in mexico exit polls point to a clear victory for a leftist candidate and based on well lopez obrador in the country's presidential election the former mayor of mexico city has promised to stamp out corruption. and at the world cup croatia booked their spot in the quarter final they squeeze past denmark in a penalty shoot out and will now face hosts russia. i'm sumi so misconduct good to have you with us chaos grips germany's government as a feudal for migration endangers uncle merkel's ruling coalition last ditch talks among the chancers conservative bloc are now set for later today on sunday interior minister hosts a whole five threaten to quit his post over michaels

party so that of course raised a lot of questions internally here and this is also why we saw this use you taking a lot of credit for what the german chancellor was able to achieve in brussels but at the same time seeing those figures in the polls not rise significantly only about one percentage point so the c.d.u. is struggling it knows it has a tough challenge from the f.t. but i just came back from the f.t. party conference which was yesterday and today and i know that they are adjusting their campaign by basically using a slogan which says vote for the original so this doesn't really seem to take that terribly far and haasil far has been under criticism for quite a while there are internal fights on who really has a say and who has the future leadership claim here so a lot of internal politics at play with a lot of repercussions for the whole of germany i dare say the whole of europe because germany is perceived to be the beacon of stability in the european union and the former foreign minister from the social democrats said if germany. trembles the whole of the e.u. shakes so a lo

and then we have in the end a crane as well the very at the c.d.u. here in berlin. now i'm going to start off with the mckayla in munich and say hoover has apparently said he doesn't think that the e.u. deal is enough he said he sees no alternative to turning people sees no alternative to turning people back at the german border does that spell trouble for the coalition. well it certainly suggests that he wants to take a rather tough line and his closed door meeting with anglo-american might not have achieved a kind of compromise that all sides can live with but then one has to see the person the political person of course is evil for almost separate from his own party many here coming into the building behind me who are now talking about whether this is enough that machall brought this whole series of bilateral agreements that in effect would mean that countries are more willing to take migrants back who were initially registered in their country whether that is enough for horse is a separate question this might well mean that he takes himself out of this equation

disagreement between anglo-american c.d.u. party on hold. interior minister's see is you policy basically is all about toughening up border controls at the german border especially at the very in border to all syria. they want to introduce a so-called on the already mentioned transit centers where they want to filter out asylum seekers which have been over the register in other countries and there's also another plan on the table by the chancellery. which would introduce a drac not controls on all other german borders through european countries also with the goal to filter out asylum seekers which have already been registered somewhere else this will mean a fundamental change to migration policy here in germany. although the open border policy of three years ago house had been changed since then very much this fundamental change would in the end mean that germany would seal off itself from the influx of foreigners from other countries so richard you know as we heard this compromise between merkel and they hope for this is not the end of the

the party members walking into this building a bit earlier to attend a meeting of the c.d.u. party leadership were very very tight lipped indeed if they were nervous they certainly weren't showing it what we have heard from party leadership in the past two days following the european union summit is that they too believe as michelle it just described that if anything the chancellor actually accomplished more than would have been expected to both in terms of the overall summit agreement but also in her bilateral dealings with european human union member countries many of which are on the external boundaries of the european union and which she had essentially been requesting to declare their willingness to take back refugees who had already been registered in their countries that in essence has been the core of this conflict the interior minister horsy hofer saying that he will proceed unilaterally to send refugees back to those countries the first registry if if essentially the european union member states couldn't get some forward movement at this summit so basically c.d.u. l

the c.d.u. still appears at loggerheads with its bavarian sister party the c.s.u. over the issue of migration instead of a compromise there are signs of new turmoil interior minister horas a home for who's also the leader of the c.s.u. has reportedly offered his resignation to his party. the c.s.u. is now reported to have pushed back a planned press conference after its leadership discussed whether to accept or reject a deal that miracle struck with the e.u. on migration policy as a whole for had reportedly said he was unhappy with the agreement and felt it didn't go far enough they hope for want to germany to turn away sums asylum seekers at the country's border but the chancellor insisted on europe wide solutions. well with me in the studio is their political correspondent so nina we've been waiting all evening for a statement by whores' a whole for all of these reports coming in suggesting he's resigning and yet there's going to be no statement how do we explain this we don't even know the fa

well there was a meeting of the parliamentary party of c.d.u. c.s.u. today with machall and whole zeal for presented their agreement from last night and one said we will be consensus in the end great relief within the piece that some agreement has been found and they also at least the sees you parliamentarians are very happy that they have the feeling that they their party has more or less marched through brought everything through they wanted. the c.d.u. parliamentarians say that the agreement that has been found is a good agreement the only thing that house to have happen right now is that the other coalition partner of the social democrats has to agree they also held a meeting of the parliamentary party today and what we can sense there is that there is wide skepticism that they are saying well it's good that there's an agreement it's good that we have got something that we can look out but the big problem here is that the social democrats say well what you have agreed on is something that has been on the table already three years ago these transit

the c.d.u. has two hundred seats other parties the social democrats that she's in in coalition with they have one hundred fifty three and the christian social union they have this party has forty six so together they have a majority if you take the c.s.u. out and merkel would be short of a majority by a couple of seats the tree just two seats the green party are standing by in the wings they really don't agree with the c.s. use migration policy and there's the suggestion that if the c.s.u. was to fall actually government to say no this is a red line for us we are not prepared to go back on what we said you have to do that's the america that is there is a suggestion that perhaps merkel could could cobble together some sort of stable majority with another party with the greens which is why many analysts look at the situation now and say what are the c.s.u. really doing because anything that they do which threatens their position in government is going to be effectively electorally suicidal because

indices you party. that this agreement could be could be found but we also see is a meeting of the social democratic m.p.'s just over there which has just finished and the social democratic party chief and leader of the parliamentary party m.p. are not as just told the press she's not at all convinced of this agreement and there are so many questions still open. ok well let's listen to exactly what she had to say they have now is the leader of the social democratic party in germany she's offered qualified support i understand for that deal that the chancellor's worked out the interior minister. says good decision by whom it's good that the two sister parties now agreed on one issue which appears to have been very controversial. issue on which to mr. feeler frog there are still a lot of questions which need to be cleared up which is why we will take the time we need to come to a decision. still a lot of questions that need to be cleared up what could those questions be rupert . well one of the biggest pr

first it was only a struggle between her party the c.d.u. and his posse the c.s.u. chancellor angela merkel and her interior minister. may have agreed on a compromise after weeks of discord over immigration but now they have to convince the third party in germany's grand coalition the social democrats to accept their hard fought for agreement and this struggle is still far from being over the s.p.d. made it clear from the start that the posse wouldn't be pressured we've held intensive discussions this evening and we were able to make progress but we're not quite in agreement yet that's why we're going to continue to talk this week and have agreed to me she again on thursday evening that's all we can say at this point . in the towards in the start. the s.p.d. has a lot of questions about the plan to establish what are being called transit centers on germany's border with austria to screen asylum seekers they were already ruled out in coalition talks between the parties earlier this year and this is for losers in accepting it's unacceptable that we've been in a virtua

from the bavarian system party the c.s.u. the bavarian state premier gave an indication of how his party might respond to the compromise reached by e.u. leaders in brussels and if they go should in the least to get it's a step in the right direction some things remain very unclear and have to be expanded our european partners have explicitly agreed that there must also be supporting national measures that means it's been decided that now we in germany must also take action. but the center left social democrats insists there are some measures they would certainly not accept most are ideas i would like to make it clear once again that unilateral actions and the rejection of refugees at the border are off the table in a lesser merkel informs her coalition partners about the results of the e.u. summit it said the chancellor had secured agreements with fourteen countries for the rapid return of asylum seekers already registered in those countries such a deal already exists with greece and spain but there's no deal in sight with it
