Angela Merkels Christian Democrats (CDU) are expected to announce the deportation plans on Thursday. However discussions are set to be awkward as five rebels are already strongly opposed to the planned deportation of Afghan asylum seekers.

Mrs Merkel recently told a meeting: For the next few months, repatriation and more repatriation.

We all know we have to do more about repatriations - we need a national effort, according to Der Spiegel.

Her plans will include a joint centre for return in order to take deportation controls away from the states.
