4:05 am
athens. >> another day of tough talks john siropolous. syriza is same germany is trying to humiliate greece. >> reporter: saying it is clear some countries who have nothing to so with the reforms or the program do not want an agreement. and this is in combination with the greek side again that members of the eurogroup do not seem to be favorably disposed to greece, the creditors are more favorably disposed, the greek side said they gave a positive recommendation to the eurogroup. even outlined a sort of time line and road map for the measures the greek parliament voted in, in principle early
4:06 am
saturday would be implemented. but we have seen the early proposals like the one referred the by my colleague simon mcgregor wood for a greek five-year time out for which to set its house in order. >> john do you get the feeling now that the possibility of a grexit becomes more and more of a reality? >> well, i think that seems to be true because increasingly people are seeing not only that the greeks are becoming, the greek government that is, more and more desperate in its efforts to keep it in the euro eurozone, saying and doing things it wouldn't of dreamt of in the spring. in fact the greek side was rejecting the proposals brought forward, they rejected it even
4:07 am
in late june. only because the world is seeing that the closure of the greek banks tantd and the closure of the greek stock market, the fallout has not been noticeable. therefore less of an inhibition of the european finance ministers to have that happen. and the finnish have pushed for that to happen. the greeks are not asking exactly for a third bailout. this would involve a third contract for sure but all the measures are the remainder of the second bailout and all the money that is asked for is the remainder of that 240 billion euro loan amount that creditors have already proved for greece but not all of it has been disbursed. about 180 billion has been
4:08 am
disbursed. what they are saying is let's recaptainrecapitulate. >> thank you john, diplomatic editor john siropolous there. now palestinian prisoner held for a year without charge in an israeli jail last been freed. hada adnan transferred out of jail when it happened. 1999. the practice is used by israel to jail palestinians indefinitely without charge or trial. well hada adnan was one of the hundreds of palestinians held in jail without charge. 396 palestinians were being held there were 477 administrative detainees last september. now back in 2004, the total was
4:09 am

4:10 am
as i have said many times there is no text that is entirely satisfactory to all parties and response to all the demands. i'm confident that in the weeks ahead a key decision will be made that will address all sides and issues. is. >> reporter: representatives of municipal councils and tobruk representatives were there but the residential militia were not there. urging them to drop their demands. >> we want a name play in a dialogue. we have tried our best and have agreed to compromise on many issues. however, the other side has not tried to meet us halfway. it insisted on this point because it has support from the international community and this is why we have not reached an disagreement. the u.n. envoy and other parties try drag us into an agreement that do not satisfy all of our demands. >> national unity government
4:11 am
4:12 am
has denounced the united states for its arrogance. they are now trying to get a deal done by monday. goodness third week james bays, our diplomatic editor there in vienna, where are we today? >> reporter: it's still dragging on. but i think there are some important developments worth bringing you up to speed with. first the comments of laurent fabeuse the french foreign minister late night meetings that went on after midnight in the hotel behind me but he has now left vienna, to brief president hollande on the situation in greece. but he will be coming back in a matter of hours. those late night meetings have
4:13 am
progressed indicating this is reaching a peak in terms of activity here. also worth telling you we're getting reports not confirmed officially yet that the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov might be on their way back to vienna. putting that all together, suggests to me that maybe in the few hours time with the russian chinese and all the foreign ministers that have stayed here that perhaps we'll have everyone in place. that doesn't necessarily mean they're close to a deal. they could be blowing through an announced extension. but i do think that perhaps something is coming in a couple of hours. >> just very quickly james president howfn rouhani has been speaking and they have impressed the world with their diplomacy. >> i think they have even
4:14 am
impressed those they have bet been sitting around the table with. john kerry and his iranian opposite number mohammed javad zarif, have been making phone calls through this long process they have each other's e-mail address. i think it's fair to say if they don't reach a deal here, no one thinks this is going to collapse. i think the only other way forward is some sort of postponement. no one wants that. this is supposed to be the final stage of the final deal but i don't think things will totally collapse. there has been quite a rapport with both sides they are not saying much about it but i think both sides would like to talk about other issues once the nuclear issue is resolved. but of course had a hasn't happened yet and they're still working towards this very difficult last part of a deal. >> okay tiny steps then.
4:15 am
4:17 am
4:18 am
leaders and greece, failed to reach a deal overnight. final ditch talks is set to get underway in just a few hours in brussels. return for a fresh 54 billion euro bailout. a prominent palestinian prisoner has been freed after being held a year without charge. hada adnan was under administrative detention where israel holds palestinians without charge or trial. some of libya's warring factions have agreed on the framework of a peace deal after months of talks. let's look at the greek debt. 323 billion euros are owed to
4:19 am
ecb and the imf. that is equivalent of 175% of greek gdp or national income. repayments will last for another generation and that's about 40 years. in this latest plan greece is asking creditors for 54 billion euros. now that would cover its debts just for next three years and that includes a $1.6 repayment that's owed to the imf. that should have been paid off at the end of last month. its next payment 3.5 billion euros to the ecb due on july the 20th. greece can't pay any of that without another injection of it. yannis cozomides, what is your position of the position we're in today? >> there are two basic problems
4:20 am
for reaching a deal. one problem is, there is a lot of trust from the greek government to rowshz other governments. inrorsto eurozone othergovernments. the proposal was rejected. now creditors of the eurozone are asking for political reassurances that it will have a wide majority of the political position parties in order to give them approval. the second problem is that several not several but two or three governments of the eurozone do not want to close an disagreement with the greek government. they don't have a mandate to accept new loans for grease. so today the eurozone leaders who will meet in a few hours to ask the greek prime minister how he can reassure the rest of the eurozone that he is willing to
4:21 am
implement the proposals he's been submitted also if he's willing to take further steps to reassure on the reform side and also the political side, that they're ready to sign a new agreement. >> do you really think that greece has got anything else to offer? i mean the country is on the brink, isn't it, they are asking for more and they want these reassurances. what more has greece got to offer? >> well i think there can be more to be offered on the side of the reforms. the fiscal side i think it's already too tight. not too many things that the greek government can do but it can do a lot more on the reform side of liblessing liberalizing the government to show to the eurozone leaders that it's willing to go on with this package. i suspect in the coming week a
4:22 am
lot of new legislation will be submitted to the greek parliament in order to show to the eurozone leaders that the greek government is willing to do the reforms. the second part is that there will be some kind of government rereshuffling. two days ago there was a vote in the parliament and the government party lost some mps now there has to be a big majority in order to bring this reform to a large majority in the parliament. >> yannis cozomatis, thank you for joining me from greece. be joaquin guzman of the sin sifaloasinaloa cartel, known as
