had a tough time supporting greece remember when greece was in a crisis there was so-called trio there that came in the european commission the e.c.b. and the i.m.f. and they impose strict conditions and it doesn't look likely as of president everyone is going to accept conditions from anyone at the moment so that's unlikely i.m.f. basically same story and there you have the u.s. donald trump as the main factor behind i.m.f. funding that looks very unlikely either at present at least a difficult situation there now looking at the broader picture all the markets are recovering today and fresh data coming from germany is this enough to ease the fears. was really bright data. zero point five percent g.d.p. growth in the second quarter and that's more than expected and that's means that germany is steaming along one economist said it's a golden decade that's keeping on track but another guy warns another expert says you know even if the trade looming trade war with the u.s. is not yet visible in the data it's already a burden on the economy here in germany because you have businesses heade

big question now is will germany be able to get similar deal or even best the one with its city in greece those are two press appoints for what is known as secondary migration those migrants who register elsewhere in europe and then come to germany ok because thanks for that turning to jaime in spain now what is the spanish perspective on this migrant return deal. well i think for spain especially for but there are signs that this is war. strategy i think that this is something that merkel in germany needed something to give to. in germany on the borders american government in germany. for spain if all the issues that are more important like mainly resources for them to manage the. war there your sense of want to address the situation in spain. agreement with america can work for the tyrant or and i'm sick of that right spain because they know that they are not going to manage to get to to germany or they go to germany that will be sent back to spain and it's not a very attractive country. for them to settle so for for maybe the asylum seekers that can be a deterrent which is going to com
