has been made through els over time. has grease drawn that cash down or not? if there has there is no money for grease. if it hasn't perhaps there is some more money. of course, this is a drop in the ocean relative to the issue of grease grease's perhaps insolvency. we were, of course it has to make another repayment on tuesday, the 30th of june which if it feels to do will technically be in default. what's also emerged today is angela merkel the german chancellor is going to hold talks with the leaders of parliamentary counsel, her chance lori. and the reason that is important important. but there is an argument that says that if there is a binding, long-lasting resolution finally to greece's debt crisis t will have to be voted on also by the german parliament and other parliament, and it is questionable indeed whether

there would be a majority in favor of such more money for greece from the german parliament. hence, the importance of the meeting tomorrow for mrs. mrs. mrs. merkel to try to see if there is any form of consensus. she has a could al list witness social democrats and with her own party which has a grand majority but at this by no means certain that she could scrape together a majority in favor of more money and of course there is the uncertainty that goes with the markets. who knows house the stock exchange will open tomorrow following the developments over the weekend adding yet further uncertainty to an already uncertain picture. barbara? >> all eyes on the markets tomorrow. dominic kane outside the ecb. thank you. there are reports a deadline for a deal on iran's nuclear program will be he can tend beyond

we are hearing nasa says this fair your is not going to deter it from the ambitious space program with space x. should it? >> no. it shouldn't. these things h the budget represents this from happening. it really takes into consideration so there are six astronautz in the international space station. they are not in danger. there is another resupply vehicle from russia a capsule will come to bring more supplies. it's not a major thing from that point of view. a lot of things to learn because this kind of spacecraft is going to take in a couple of years time. the idea is to take us to the space station. this is the third failure they have had in the past few months of this one in january, one in april? >> yes. we have to be careful here they have launched 18 rockets in different access. 6 of them have been successful in delivering cargo to the space

station. these failures we are talking about is they have a very ambitious program. the rockets has two stages. the first stage and the second stage and they separate the first stage, the idea is that the first stage will come down. it will land softly on a barge floating in the ocean. that's the first thing it has been attempted in order to be reused and they tried to at least twice already and those were the failures we are talking about. this is the third one. the rocket has been destroyed the failure is to try to recover these first stage in order to relaunch it again. >> hasn't been successful so far. >> so you don't think that it should have cause for thought? there is no worry about the have national space station right now. do you think russia should have reconsidered the use of space x or its future plans? >> no, not at all. these failures are -- i mean,t these rockets have to be 100% reliable and it's not the case

unfortunately in some cases. if you like the video we just saw now the specificlation but it looks like the two stages were just about to separate after two minutes, over two minutes. the first stage is to separate by a pneumatic system and then a few seconds later, the second stage and it looks like the second stage started earlier from the video i could see but early stages. >> because we don't have a lot of time you have explained what went wrong. is it something that would be easy to fix? i guess? >> yes. i think it will be easy to fix. we have these failures with the space shuttle before and it was fixed. it was success after that. so these failures are important for learning. unfortunately in this case there was no human life in danger. >> francisco diego at the department of physics and astronomy university college london. thank you for sharing your expertise with us.
