Hello, I'm Justin Grain with the BBC News.
The French Prime Minister has warned that European society could be totally destabilized if it tried to take in every refugee who arrived on the continent. In a BBC interview, Manuel Valls said the migration1 crisis was putting the entire future of the European Union in real danger.
“It could disappear. Of course, the European Project is not Europe itself, not our values, but the concept we have of Europe, the concept the founding fathers had. Yes, that is in very grave danger. That's why you need border guards, controls on the external borders of the European Union.”
He described the German Chancellor2 Angela Merkel as courageous3 for her open-door policy on migrants. Mr. Valls said it risked provoking major shifts in population.
President Obama has praised Mrs.Merkel for her leadership in the refugee crisis. In a phone call, Mr. Obama also asked her to back his plans for Migrant Summit at the UN later this year.The German and Turkish governments are due to hold a joint4 cabinet meeting on the crisis in Berlin later today. Jane Hill?reports.
“Angela Merkel is under pressure to reduce the number of asylum5 seekers in Germany. Many of them traveled by Turkey. Europe's leaders have urged Ankara to strengthen its border. In return, they've promised money and concessions6. But there is a degree of impatience7 in Berlin. Some fear the Turkish government isn’t doing enough to tackle the criminals who smuggle8 people across the country's coastline and into the EU”

This man was at one of the restaurants when it happened.
“I was there for about 30 minutes spending time with my friends when we saw bullets raining on us. We started running towards the door. But before I reached there,we heard a loud explosion. I saw some people jumping from the second floor.Bullets were flying all over the place. And there was another explosion.”
At least nine people, including six policemen, have been killed by a bomb during a raid on a militant10 hideout in the Egyptian capital Cairo.

For the first time since the return of democracy to Spain 40 years ago, the King will today chair coalition14 talks between the country's main political parties. Last month election was inconclusive. This report from Piers15 Gofield.
“King Felipe would like to propose a candidate for Prime Minister on Friday. But hopes of a swift resolution to Spain's political deadlock16 look slim. The outgoing Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy won the most seats in elections.But his conservative Popular Party failed to win an outright17 majority. Mr. Rajoy has called on the main opposition18 Socialists19 to join him in a grand coalition.They rejected that, but have problems of their own. So the most likely scenario20 remains21 fresh elections.”

法国总理警告称,如果欧洲试图接纳每个抵达这片大陆的难民,那么欧洲社会就有完全被颠覆的危险。曼纽尔·瓦尔斯在接受BBC的采访时说,移民危机将整个欧盟的未来置于危险之中。
“欧洲可能会消失,当然欧洲项目不是欧洲本身,不是我们的价值观,而是我们对欧洲产生的观念,我们祖辈的观念,是的,这是非常严重的危险,因此我们需要边境警卫,需要对欧盟的边境进行控制。”
他说德国总理安吉拉·默克尔对移民实施开门政策的做法很勇敢,瓦尔斯说这有导致人口重大改变的危险。
奥巴马总统赞扬了默克尔在解决难民危机中的领导作用,奥巴马在电话中请她支持今年联合国移民峰会上他提出的计划。德国和土耳其政府将于今天晚些时候就柏林危机举行联合内阁会议。简·希尔报道。
“安吉拉·默克尔面临减少德国难民的压力,很多难民是从土耳其过来的。欧洲各国领导人敦促默克尔加强边境控制,作为交换条件,他们承诺提供资金和妥协。但柏林已经有了一定程度的不耐烦,有人担心土耳其政府在解决罪犯方面力度不够,这些罪犯将人口在土耳其各地之间走私,然后运到欧盟。”
