Berlin (dpa) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday stood by her decision to welcome refugees to Germany, saying in a live television interview that she would continue to pursue her open-arms policy.
Merkel cracked a smile at the start of the interview when a moderator from public broadcaster ZDF asked if Germany's leader had surrendered political control and lost the power to enact policy.
"The federal chancellor has the situation under control, as does the entire federal government," Merkel said.
The chancellor's expression grew sober for the rest of the interview as she acknowledged that the migration crisis gripping Germany and the EU was an "especially challenging time."
Merkel asked Germans to have patience as she was determined to move forward with what she believed was a just approach to the situation.
"I am not the first chancellor who has had to fight for something," Merkel said.
Despite pressure from members of her conservative political bloc, the chancellor said she was not prepared to set an upper limit on the number of refugees Germany can admit.

She needs to turn on a TV or radio.
Baghdad Bob lives on.
Let’s see if she has that stupid grin tomorrow after the body count in France!
Did she say this before or after Paris went boom
“Baghdad Bob lives on.”
Nailed it.
Just like Odumbo and Hillary the night of Benghazi, I’m sure Merkel won’t lose any sleep. Clueless b*tch that she is.
Will Herr (sic) Merkel commit suicide when the muzzies kill a few thousand Germans?
and Obama said today that ISIS is contained. What a world.
She is the main cause for all of this turmoil and tonight she has blood on her hands.
You watch the media will spin this about how it’s not all Muslims, not all are bad, and they are hoping to get to a better life.
Yes, a predecessor wrote a book which he titled "My Struggle" He had to fight for what he believed in.
oh for the fairy in chief he called them the JV team, but don’t expect the media to mention this and his incompetence over international policies.
Just like Bambam, Angie LIES!
This women is insane.
And today Obama said that "ISIS is contained."
Weak minds think alike.
Insane? No, just doing what her handlers tell her to do.
This woman has gone around the bend..
The leaders of the West need to be very scared. They need to know the rage they are building in the people they pretend to represent.
