couldn't accept the proposals yet because they had not been gibb fluff time to digest them. >> we consider it a step in the poses tip direction. so it's also an opportunity to get the deal with week.. that's what we will work for. >> reporter: two people at the press conference but the boss of the i.m.f. stayed behind. one of those greece has to pay. at the last meet on the ground thursday it descend ed in to something more heated. she kept out of sight this time, theo fills were keen to play down her no show. as evening fell the ire ozone leaders arrived. they had to the cameras were waiting. while they catch up over dinner they won't be a able to toast any lasting deal. >> translator: what greece presented today is a certain progress, but the discussion made it clear that there is still a lot of work to be done.

>> translator: we need to continue the negotiations for a few days, a few hours. the next for days. and that's precisely because we don't want a fragmented short-term agreement. we are seeking a comprehensive and viable solution. >> reporter: this is about showing solidarity. being slightly bullish convincing the world the euro zone is strong. dissuading speculators from pulling out of greece. phil lavelle, al jazerra, at the european council in brussels. >> jane foley joins us now she's a senior currency strategist in london. thanks very much for being with us. yesterday the talk was all about a deal having to be made and the markets were pretty positive on that optimism. the deal hasn't been made yet. but are the markets still looking good? >> they still are this morning. the fact that the greek government came back and put something on the table finally

suggested that perhaps we really are going to get a deal. what we have seen this morning again is signs of relief in the market that the market is willing to take on a little bit more risk. the stock markets, et cetera, being pushed higher. certainly optimism now but as you say we haven't had the deal yet. hopefully getting something down by the euro group meetings scheduled for tomorrow night. evening then we may not be out of the woods. this deal also has to be agreed by at greek government and certainly the very far left factions within the far left government may still not want to sign parts it have. but that said, we are closer than than we have ever been and the market for now is hoping that we will get this deal done. >> and if it is done, do the numbers add up? is it going to save greece? >> well, once again the proof is in the pudding. there is a long way to go. this is certainly a short-term figures for greece, but whether or not it's a long-term fix it's

dubious it's likely that greece's problems will keep them come back in to the headlines probably not next five years maybe even beyond that. what this program is aiming to do is trying to get greece in to a budget surplus this year 1% of g.d.p. at 2% next year and 3% onwards, if it does have that budget surplus it can go towards paying down its debt. paying off its creditors. but once again if we look at the greek economy particularly this year, a lot of damage has been done in materials of greek growth. a lot of investigation tours are put off by the shenanigans going on this year and that could be very damaging. so to ask an economy which is already crippled to create 1% budget deficit is quite a big ask. if you consider that the u.k. economy for instance has growth but its budget deficit is in the region of four or 5%, that's a contrast. a big ask for greece and it's likely these problems will extends for some years to come. >> a long road ahead indeed. jane foley thanks very much for
