assassination, barakat was perceived as one of the tools legal tools that enforces the crackcrack downs causing many death sentences to be handed, and caused some of the deaths for the political prisoners who were denied medical aid because of he denied their permission to -- for them to get medical aid. so many have perceived him in such a way, this is an operation, a terrorist operation that obviously uses violence as a way to react to the consequences that was happening in egypt in the last two years now. >> and omar, the location of the attack is important. the district is residential, but it took place outside a military college. so heavily fortified area. there will now be questions as to who was able to gain access

commission president jean claude yunker who delivered a stinging rebuke to the greek et cetera. he said they were playing tactical and even pop even populace games. he said i was preparing to give the greeks a 35 billion euro stimulus package out of the funds of 315 billion euros. an enormous chance more than 10% for greeks and he said the greeks have not been represented in a worthy fashion by their elected leaders. i think mr. tsipras will come back with a point for point rebuttal on the substance of the

plan. that's what his office issued a short while ago saying what creditors presented to the greeks were full of recessionary measures, cuts to pension subsidies for low earning pensioners half a percent of gdp cut new taxes on vat consumer tax and there was an attempt to raise these taxes on the sensitive tourism sector which is responsible for so much of greece's prosperity from 13 to 23%. i expect he will detail all those points and try to get people back on his side. because the government position is no mix of the sorts of measures that were under discussion in brussels is acceptable. any combination of those measures would lead to further recession and turn endless cycle of austerity measures and further recession for months and even years from now.
