second time the trump effect. an early lead in the race to become the next u.s. president. hello. a planned meeting of all e.u. leaders on the future of crease has been cancel. the eurozone finance minister are meeting now to discuss the latest bailout proposal. they'll have 24 hours to convince creditors that they can secure the bailout. the creek parliament backed a list of economic reforms and further austerity measures in a last-ditch attempt to stay within the eurozone. however, some analysts believe that it needs more.
6:02 am
a new loan is in addition to the 240 billion euros that greece received from the creditors, since 2010. we have our correspondence gathering the story. jacky rowland is in brussels. and john psaropoulos is in athens. john how are things in athens. is there optimism that the discussion can commence? >> well there's optimism regarding the fact that at least we are back to the negotiating table but in a sense we are back to where we were two weeks ago, when we decided to stop talks and hold a referendum. since then we've had a no vote, a ditching of finance minister who had become disliked at the eurozone table, and a yes sfrot the greek parliament on the greek measures that the greek people voted against. now the greeks have gone back to
6:03 am
look. we know popular opinion in the country is against this. we'll take the responsibility route as the government and pursue these measures, what the greeks are asking for in a third contractual agreement with creditors is a completion of all the measures not done under the second bailout because talks ran through that deadline. the money that they are asking for, the 54 billion, is less than the money left over from the pre-approved 240 billion of the first two loans. not all was dispersed. about 70 billion was not dispersed because greece stopped receiving bailout in july when it failed to meet up with requirements of the quarterly reviews. you would thing with all of that the greeks are on good ground. it turns out they are not. after time has been lost with
6:04 am
syriza, kicking the can down the road. there has been a loss of trust. that is now the main issue, the credibility of the greek government position. >> thank you for that. let's turn to jacky rowland. you are in brussels for us, what is on the agenda. >> what is going on is the eurozone finance minister resumed talks about an hour ago, talks went on for eight hours on saturday. we were expecting them to continue into the early hours of the morning. they wrapped up at around midnight local time. we are hearing reports that things were getting pretty heated there were quite heated bad tempered exchanges between the different camps within the eurozone, those taking a tough line with greece who lost patients and haven't got much trust with the team in greece
quote
6:05 am
and those that are sympathetic and really wanted to save greece in the eurozone at all costs. the president of the euro group, the finance minister from the mether lands he decided to wrap it up about midnight when the tempers were getting a bit frayed. they started to meet again, continuing to look at the proposals to see if there's a credible basis there to begin new talks for a fresh bailout. the conversation will continue at the level of heads of government starting later in the day. shortly the heads of government from those 19 eurozone countries, including key figures, like the german chancellor angela merkel, seen as a leader of the tough hard line group, and also the french president francis hollande seen as being in the french. the powerful allies of greece
6:06 am
arguing greece's case. apparently the meeting will go on as long as it takes. the president of the european union council says they'll talk until a decision is reached, and that will be yes, we are going to embark upon fresh talks to work out a new bail out, or in a more gloomy scenario the talks will be how to manage the damage, damage limitation of greece potentially going bankrupt and dropping out of the euro. >> do you get the feeling that this is a case of tough love coming from the germans. they want greece to get the house in order, in order for them to have a stable future. what allies does greece have remaining within that group. >> well leaders of the eurozone countries say in public that they want greece to remain in.
6:07 am
angela merkel the german chancellor is portrayed in greece as a villain, and is seen as being the leader of a hard-line camp. she says that she wants to find a way to keep greece within the euro, not just for the interest of greece and europe as a whole, the stability of the currency. what we are looking at, what we saw during the late night, fractious discussions on saturday involving the finns, he has dug his heels in saying no - is that these ministers, prime ministers, chancellors, presidents are not just representing themselves. they have to be sure that whatever they agree to will be acceptable to their coalition. german chancellor angela merkel is concerned about people more right wing than her. in finland the coalition
6:08 am
government is held together by a far right government. it's not just natural interests, the european interests. the internal politics in the various eurozone countries, what they can agree to in order to keep the government together. >> jacky rowland would leave it there, thank you for that the new proposals put forward by greece is similar to the deal rejected in the national referendum last week. pensions are seen as the back bone of the welfare system. they'll be hit. a fifth of poorer pensioners will lose a top-up payment. military intending will cut by 300 million euros, come next year. tourism targeted hotels and restaurant would pay 23% sales tax. that's a big rise and tax breaks for most tourist hot
6:09 am
spots would be scrapped. some are worse 30." businesses could be hit hard. >> a science professor from yale universityins us live. thank you for joining us. let's say the deal goes through, and they get the remainder of the second bailout, the money, does it solve their problems? >> they'll have to do more than getting the laws through. they'd have to institute new reforms, structural and institutional to make sure that the economy operates. a lot of these institutions had been promised in the past since 2010. that politicians had been reluctant. now they have no choice. they have to go through that. if the deal goes through as i think, and hope it will. you'll have a certainty. right now economic uncertainty
6:10 am
is killing the greek economy more than in the past. bups you restore the economy, it's the situation right now. >> let's look at the economy. so many think as long as the money comes through, the bail outcomes through, greece is fine. greece is not fine. what does greece have to offer long term what are the resources. >> it will have to go the hard road of big reforms, including things like the justice system that doesn't operate. for the moment it will take time liquidity to restore the way the banking system operates. the most important factor is restoring certainty, dissent, that greece is not about to exit. it is in to stay that should do miracles for the economy, in and
6:11 am
of itself, it's necessary, and we are about to witness a political resolution. you have the same people arguing against the measures, in favour of the measures, and the prime minister will have to reshuffle the cabinet and usher in a broader cabinet. he has the knowledge, he is likely to succeed to do it. he has to tell the greek people they are in for a couple of difficult years. he should restore the situation in greece. if he does it properly, he has a chance. >> thank you for that. >> the u.n. says some of libya's warring factions agreed on a framework for the deal. a report from a rival government is that they have rejected the deal. >> in a ceremony rival factions
6:12 am
signed an agreement. a sixth meeting. the u.n. envoy sees it has a breakthrough. i want to emphasise and enhance this message, the door is open for those not present. they played a critical role in the text. as i said many times, there's no move that is safe for all parties i'm confident a decision will be made to address all sides and issues. >> representatives of the council were there, representatives of the militia were not there. >> we are the main play in a dialogue, we tried our best. the other parties tried halfway.
6:13 am
it has each community - that is why we don't agree. the u.n. envoy drags it in to the least of our demands. >> there's disagreement in the rifleal government. a unity government in tripoli. they want a body to serve as the highest body. implementation of a ceasefire in the drafting of constitution. it is hoped that a g.n.c. consultation may return to confrontations of aid. this man is a key sticking point. they want the general removed. he's been declared the army chief. after years of chaos, many want
6:14 am
politicians to end the political tussle and the fighting on the ground. joining me via skype is mohammed from the hariri center for the middle east. thank you for joining us. first off, if you are not including one of the biggest players within libya, how is the deal going to work. how do you see it working? >> first of all, actually, most of the players have signed the deal. it's only one player out of about five players did not sign and that is the g.n.c. >> surely this is - surely they are important. >> yes. >> they have to be included. >> yes, they should be included. however, the international community made it clear that a single party caned hold the whole process hostage, and that is what happened. i think the international community decided to buy that but opened the door for them to
6:15 am
join. it is important to realise that the allies of the congress including the powerful city of misrata signed the deal. also the municipal council in tripoli signed the deal. many others did as well. >> in a way, it achieved the milestone, as you rightly pointed out, that there are many issues to sort out including the g.m. c, in term of how many players are involved. how important important is it. >> i think. i believe we will see the
6:16 am
congress joining the table, and they'll make demands in a different way rather than making the deal or suspending participation in the reports. >> you touched on the fact that so many are involved in the discussion both internally and externally, the international influence on this should not be annoyed. how difficult under the conditions is it to discuss a framework. this is where we are at the moment. we don't have the deal, this is the framework. >> there are four annexes to be discussed. the first is the formation of a unity government. the second will be the security arrangements. the third will be the demands of the general national congress and the fourth will be the formation of the state council, the highest consultative body in this agreement. these are very explosive files. they'll require a lot of compromise and work. we can see months to get the
6:17 am
files sorted out. >> thank you very much. speaking to us from brussels. stay with us coming up aid agencies say millions of yemenis could face famine as the truce falls through, within hours of coming into force. >> deported from their akopted country, rejected from their home, we meet the haitians with nowhere to go. and in the sport, find out what is next for serena. the dennis player holding every major title there is now, senior iranian officials said a nuclear deal with major world powers is within reach. including u.s. secretary of state is trying to get the deal
6:18 am
done by monday. john kerry told reporters on sunday there are tough issues but he remains hopeful of a breakthrough. joining me from vienna is james bays. you have been watching this so very closely. are we any closer? >> i'll be honest we have no hard facts, we certainly have a wave of optimism by is sweeping the diplomats involved in the situation. let me tell you what some are take. fredericka mogga reenee the e.u. high representative for foreign policy a key negotiator has been on the twitter for the last hour. all working on the talks. we had comments from the secretary of state john kerry, catholic secretary of state, went to mass this morning, and after leaving his hotel to come
6:19 am
to this hotel where the talks are taking place, he said of his meetings that went on in the early hours of foreign minister mohammad javad zarif, that they were good meetings. they are getting to real decisions, and we have a few tough things to do. i remain hopeful. positive words from two of the key players negotiating with iran. the other thing that is important to tell you is the movements of some of the other foreign ministers. the french foreign minister was here, they went back to paris for discussions with francis hollande on greece. we are expecting him in the next hour. we are hearing that the chinese and russian foreign ministers are on their way back to vienna. all along we said it's likely if they do a deal all of the countries involved have to be represented at foreign minister neville. i'm not saying a deal is eminent, but all the foreign ministers will be here in a
6:20 am
matter of hours, which makes the possibility of a deal open. >> thank you very much. >> a palestinian prisoner who was on hunger strike has been freed from prison in israel. he has been held for a year without charge. he started his 55-day hunger strike in april and was transferred to hospital last month. it's the 10th time in 15 years that he had been held under the administrative detention. it's used by israel to gaol palestinians without charge or trial. >> i see the happiness among palestinians flowing, and the pain and hope for the freedom of all prisoners. the occupation made a mistake arresting me the first time and son time and all previous arrests israeli police say they have
6:21 am
arrested several suspects at a catholic church, from the loafs and fishes - it was set on fire last month, damaging a roof and building. moss aics from the fifth century was unarmed. it was an important stop for christian pilgrims visiting the early land in yemen, a truce failed. the u.n. hoped he'd allow the beginning of desperately needed aid. fighting continued on the ground. we have this report. >> reporter: in this area people heard conflicting opinions about whether a u.n. brokered humanitarian truce would mean a lull in violence during the final days of ramadan. >> there's no truce.
6:22 am
at the same time they shell us. no one disagreed with what the human tare yaps call a kat as -- humanitarians call a catastrophe. that's all that we need from the truce. 80% of the population needs food and medicine. the humanitarian truce is supposed to last for a week. during the previous truce aid groups made deliveries from yemeni, with the worst fighting. they hope to do that again. as reports came in of air strikes and fighting on the ground on the first day of truce, the u.n. asked for restraint. >> there's a truce. the blood of yemenis were
6:23 am
spreading in aden and tiaz. >> reporter: both sides expressed doubt about the truce. aid agencies say one thing should be clear - if they can't deliver supplies to critical cities more than 6 million yemenis could be facing famine. >> now, if the latest u.n. opinion poll is correct. trump is the republican party's front runner to replace president obama. has ben henderson reports, the tycoon's controversial comments on mexican immigrants are popular with conservative americans. >> reporter: for americans angry over immigration, and there's a lot of them, one candidate speaks louder than the relevant. >> we have to stop we have to
6:24 am
we have to. they are killing us at the bored esh, and they are killing us in trade. >> for many the clarity of that message, from a member known for bluntness resonates. despite pressure from the republican party to tone it down. >> they are bringing drugs, crime, they are rapists. >> that is likely to limit efforts to attract hispanics. the fastest growing segment of the american electorate. some made their voices heard in phoenix. >> i wonder if the mexican government sent them over here. i think so. >> i think he's hurting them in the long run. because the republican party needs to do the opposite. they need to get more hispanic votes. i would not disregard his candidacy as something not serious.
6:25 am
>> he had to move his event from a hotel, driving thousands to the phoenix convention centre, which holds thousands more. many came to hear his message on immigration. >> he has brains, he can get us out of this hell hole. >> i would love to see what he does for the economy. >> trump is not shy about criticising his rivals. hillary clinton was the worst secretary of state in the history of our country. the polls came out. and i'm tied with jed bush. i said that's too bad. how can i be tied, he's terrible. >> reporter: or the many companies that cut ties. >> i was cut from macy's. here is the bottom line. thousands of people are cutting up the macy credit card. >> even supporters say the businessman and reality tv star will have to tone down the rhetoric to be taken seriously as a presidential contender. . >> especially when we get into the heavy political scenes
6:26 am
these are slip-ups. they can't happen. now that blunt message resonates behind the convention hall. okay, we have the weather next with everton. chan whom - was that coast spared. >> i think they got off lightly, we are looking at the system collapsing on itself as it made its way to the east of china, to the cooler waters, 21 celsius. above 26 degrees celsius. you see shanghai not showing up. we are in the clear. lots of heavy rain there has been some flooding and we were looking at the heavy see, and the storm surge. hard to pick up the storm on this picture alone, so i put lines on the short. there you go it's out in the yellow sea and will swirl away
6:27 am
briefly over the next 24 hours or so. we are looking at the system making its way across north korea. we will go from draught to flood in north korea. sustained win, 25 k/hr, and falling. this is the key thing, look at the speed of that 33 k/hr. it's moving at a fair old lick. bringing heavy sees in to south korea, and we'll see the stormy weather, making its way northwards. heavy rain, 174mm of rain in 24 hours. looking at the heavy rain setting in across north korea. monday into tuesday. it will be a thing of the past. we'll have to watch out for the next system by the end of the week thank you. still to come on al jazeera... >> i'm in india, one of the largest milk producers in the world.

6:31 am
g.d.p. or national income. incredible figure. repayments will last for another generation, around 40 years, in the latest plan greece is asking creditors for 54 billion euros. that would cover debt for three years, including a 1.6 billion euro repayment that should have been paid to the i.m.f., and the next repayment is coming up fast. it owes 3.5 billion euros due to the ec b, and that will be in july, towards the end of july. greece can't pay without another injection of cash. greece is asked the eurozone for a re-profiling of its long-term debt. so if eurozone leaders agree on a new bailout for greece much of the burden will fall on germany. the country is greece's largest creditor and its parliament
6:32 am
would have to approve any deal. many do not support a bailout. >> french and german students prepare a well-known landmark this sign is as old as the single currency. like the euro it had to survive all weathers and for these, it feels it is preparing more than a monument. >> it's our currency and symbol and represents the unity of our country. it's important to take care of it. looking after the monument is how we look after that. >> reporter: border trade and properation helps. sky scapers vie for pride of place in the banking district. >> frank urt is seen as the financial capital of germany, is business friendly city. a houses the stock exchange and

the bundis bank. it's been the decisions made by the european central bank that resonated through the us open and caused concern occasionally to big businesses. when the debt crisis emerged. several german damages were proposed. two bailouts and billions lair some business analysts say a grexit will not be too damaging to the economy here. >> short term i don't think the impact will be too heavy. there has been five years now for the business community to prepare. so many companies showed themselves against the grexit. longer term thi may think about investing in greece again. >> if there is a bailout guaranteed by german money, the burden will fall on cities like frankfurt. more taxes collected per capita than any other german city. >> the discussions are
6:34 am
contradictory you almost don't want to hear about it. it was almost a hobby not to pay taxes, we are not like that. >> it's not the solution to give billions more euros, we need to restructure the debt otherwise the greece will face the same problem and be in the same situation again. >> fixing the euro sign took a few months of work. restructuring the eurozone may not be easily done right. the top mexican drug lord elcapo has escaped from a maximum security prison. this is the second time he's done it and his capture in 2014 was hailed as one of the biggest blows to the drug trade in decades. at least one airport has been shut as the hunt for one of the most wanted men gets under way.
