governor scott walker is now a serious contender for the presidential nomination. >> after hours of intense negotiations and months of arguments and emergency summits a breakthrough in the greek debt crisis. euro zone leaders reached a unanimous deal for a third bailout from greece, which means no exit from the euro zone for now. there will be a new loan package worth between 82 and 86 billion euros. the greek parliament must immediately adopt laws to reform key parts of its economy by wednesday. the reforms include streamlining the pension system, boosting revenue, especially from the sales tax or v.a.t. liberalizing the labor market, privatizing electric network and extending shab hours. greeks will have to transfer $50 billion worth of euros into
9:02 am
a fund to prepare for an eventual privatization which will remain in athens. we have more now from brussels. >> a deal at last. after talks that lasted all night, ruer zone leaders emerged to announce they've avoided the worst dozen nearer, a greek exit from the euro. >> today we have only one objective, to reach an agreement. after 17 hours of negotiations, we have finally reached it. someone can say that we have an agreekment. >> the greeks need to adopt a large package of reforms in the next two days and sell off 50 billion euros of state assets. a clearly exhausted alexis tsipras tried to put the best probable gloss on it. >> the deal is difficult but we have prevented the transfer of
9:03 am
public property avoid. we prevent the final asphyxiation on the collapse of the financial system, a plan designed up to its last detail perfectly. recently, it started to be implemented. we achieved the restructure of the debt and secured financing. >> chancellor merkel concerned they would look at restructuring the debt but was categorical that none would be written off. >> this success has come despite the past few months, trust was lost between us. paper is patience. in other words going forward what will be important will be to implement what we have agreed on during the night. >> these were grueling talks for everyone. this process is far from over. the idea is that half the money raised for the privatizations
9:04 am
would be used to recap lies the greek banks. a quarter will be used to pay off the greek debt and the rest reinvested into greece. euro zone leaders have made it clear that talks on the bailout cannot even begin in my the greek parliament passes the whole package of measures into law. the european leaders drive away into the gray light of morning. most of them can now catch badly needed sleep but not the greek prime minister. for sure, the night was bruising for him. and he can only expect another bruising when he returns to face the parliament and people of greece. >> john is in athens, jacky rowland in brussels. we're going to start with jacky rowland. there is a lot of things that have to happen before greece is out of trouble. can you walk us through that? >> yes the key thing now the
9:05 am
key events of the next 48 hours will be happening in greece. that is alexis tsipras after being subjected to what officials described as a mental waterboarding here in plus sells. it's now got to take this document back to greece, where he can expect as i mentioned in my report a bruising from his fellow members of the syriza party and people who voted against the kind of package he just agreed to. it's down to the greeks now the greek parliament have got to vote on this package of proposals. then there have to be other votes, for example the french parliament will be voting after that and the german parliament, all of them agreeing and getting a mandate for talks on that bailout to begin. although everyone's breathing a sigh of relief and we saw cautious smiles here. we have to stress this is just the end of the beginning. there are still a lot of hurdles, a lot of arguing and
9:06 am
debate that's going to happen before we can actually get to a position where here in brussels, officials will sit down and hammer out the exact terms of that new greek bailout worth approximately $85 billion. juke key roland live in brussels, thank you. we will have the announcement -- the announcement has been met with mixed reaction. here's what some people in athens had to say. >> relief, i feel relief, because we had to have a deal. we couldn't help it. it would be a big mistake to go a the drachma at the americans say, he would go down. >> i'm disappointed. they were dynamic at first. we had a glimmer of hope. we were prosecuted for something bad to happen, then the worst happened. this is what most people think. >> it is some sort of victory
9:07 am
but they are strict. people have suffered the past five years and more to come now. this is what makes things difficult for us. we wanted to stay in europe, but what about the terms? they are a bit difficult for us. let's hope we'll make it. >> throughout this negotiation there has been outrage on line. this was a coo was the top line on twitter. here's what some people had to say. are we ready to take solidarity out of the list of e.u. values? you're union is ethically dead. let's talk about trust now. message to all you citizens, vote for the wrong government and the wrong policies and the troika will destroy your country. >> we have live in athens.
9:08 am
how is the greek parliament going to welcome this deal? >> well, a lot dependency on the delicate balance now that will stretch across parliament and how that balance is going to change in the next 24-48 hours. now, there is no question that there is going to be a split within the ruling party syriza. we expect a worse one than that which we saw on the morning of saturday when the first package of measures was past, the one syriza thought was going to be final. you had 10 defections from the ruling party in that, including two cabinet ministers. you've got far left elements within syriza, a party made up of many different components, saying that this agreement should not be voted for that this should be voted down, and i'll give you one example. the communist trend is one of those components. that group within syriza is saying we should have a party congress and vote for a
9:09 am
different party leader to replace mr. tsipras instead of having this vote on wednesday on the new measures. we've heard from another far left m.p. who said that this agreement is like the communist resistance to world war ii, occupiers the nazis handing over undearing their weaponry at the end of 1944 and what was then seen to be a very difficult moment for the communists to decide whether they were going to make a bid for power in greece or whether they were going to surrender and law civilian governments to take over. this is the sort of thing being said along the leftwing of syriza, but on the mainstream of syriza we've got the parliamentary spokesman now trying to whip the m.p.'s into shape, saying anyone that doesn't agree needs to resign. that's directed at those two ministers who voted but who did not vote for the measures on saturday morning. it is directed at any other
9:10 am
leftwingers, thinking of also voting against them on wednesday. we do have essentially a balance of m.p.'s whoville volt the measures through on wednesday because the communists, excuse me the conservative and the socialist parties have agreed to go into an alliance with syriza on this vote. in other words the opposition will support these m but if there is a major split in the ruling party that could be an issue for the stability of the government and the prime minister. >> difficult days ahead for the people of greece. john, thank you. >> let's go live to hoda. how is this news being received there? >> i'm just outside of the port. this port is now up for sale.
9:11 am
the mood wasn't great. they have been hearing about privatization for a while even know no one has explained that would happen, the details of this privatization. they are very worried they will lose their jobs. some said we have been working here for 20-30 years, we have our social security now pension. if we go private what will happen to all of that? they are not very happy. they are warning that if they don't like the deal, that they will go down to the street and make their voices loud and clear. they pointed to the fact that further in the islands the mood is not happy tim ply because so far the islands were spared from much of the taxes from this country, because they were considered remote territories. under this deal, there could be a hike of 23% for hotels and catering businesses and those
9:12 am
islands live on tourism. the mood is not great. that would translate in increasing prices and greece would become less competitive on the tourism market. that's a real worry, because it's about the only industry doing well at the moment, about 15% of the annual g.d.p. what they say is basically very much along the lines i heard earlier in the day when i was walking in the city center, people used words like i'm speechless, in disbelief i feel betrayed, where did any vote go? this is a humiliation for the country. we thought that by voting no at the referendum, we are restoring our dignity then our leaders went to brussels and came back with nothing for us. >> thank you. the iraqi government is making gains against isil as part of a new military offensive in anbar. the government said the operation began early monday
9:13 am
morning. shia militias, government forces and sunni tribes taking part. isil seized the capitol of anbar in may. we have this report. >> the operation was announced on state t.v. by the interior ministry spokesman saying that it began on 5:00 a.m. it involves at least 5,000 troops within the province. they are saying there are another 6,000 troops surrounding the province, likely to try to stop isil from getting out of the province and toward baghdad. it is a little confusing, they have been fighting in rimadi for a number of months now. that town fell to fighters in mid may and has been an operation there. this operation is like will to come toward the town of fallujah under isil occupation for a number of months. the timing is crucial, as well. the iraqis will be looking to
9:14 am
announce around, this may be it for them. coalition airstrikes have reportedly hit an isil radio station and media based west of rimadi, as well. there's a number of things happening. this operation does seem like it is quite big bigger in nature than we have seen in recent months to try to retake anbar province. shia militias are taking part, as well as iraqi security forces and police forces. >> media affiliated with isil said the armed group was behind blasts in baghdad, two bombs killed 35 people in shia neighborhoods sunday. in the north of the city, a parked car exploded near a busy market. a suicide bomber blew himself up as the crowds gathered. >> joining me now from amman is
9:15 am
the publisher of inside outside iraqi politics. this announcement about on bar province, what do you make of it? >> thank you for having me. the main thing to bear in mind is that this announcement is for media affect. there had been on going operations closer to baghdad so the capitol of the country and this has been going on. i think that the timing of this has to do with the fact that the mostly shia militia led offensive in around fallujah has been having success. they've been taking some areas they have not -- the north part of the city, areas around it, they've encircled it. they've had success and now that they have got success and momentum in that area, they want to go ahead and announce the offensive. there is a certain amount of public relations value in that. the problem is that there's not
9:16 am
really much central organization in the sense that they started off going toward ramadi. after the fall of ramadi, they were focused on that. in early june without warning the main shia militia leader, the head of of the badr organization decided to shift toward fallujah. the militias pulled back and focused on fallujah for about a month right now. that offensive, which was at the initiative of the militia organization is now bearing fruit. now i think this is the reason for the timing of this announcement. >> is it a bit of a delayed reaction to what's been happening in anbar? >> i think all of it's been very reactive. that was the main criticism with the defense of rimadi is the united states there were just standing in place most of the time. then there was that withdrawal which precipitated a collapse on may 17. there was an immediate reaction toward rimadi. the real problem is that there's
9:17 am
no genuine command and control so nominally, the prime minister abadi is the commander-in-chief. the popular mobilization, an umbrella group for mostly shia militias some noon's involved, some christian involved in this organization, but is an umbrella group for militias, they, each of those individual militias, i mentioned badr, their fighters are loyal to their own leader. the prime minister has colorado over the army units and interior ministry runs the police units. the militia leaders run these individual militias. there's about a half dozen big ones and a couple dozen small ones. what the federal government i think is trying to do is captain lies on this, essentially make the best it can of a very disorganized situation. >> ok, thank you so much. >> thank you for having me.
