German Chancellor, Angela Merkel set to unveil plans to significantly increase deportations of failed asylum seekers

   German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, is set to unveil plans to significantly increase deportations of failed asylum seekers.

   The measures include allowing access to asylum seekers' phones and Sim cards to verify their identities and increasing the amount paid to voluntary returnees.
   The German chancellor is meeting with state leaders later to discuss a new 16-point plan to speed up deportations and a new deportation co-ordination centre will be set up in Berlin.
Exit centres could also be set up to hold rejected asylum seekers in the days or weeks before they are deported.
   The federal government also plans to spend 90 millionponds this year as part of repatriation and reintegration programmes. More money will be given to voluntary returnees who make their decision quickly.
