>> eurozone leaders emerge to announce they avoided the worst scenario a greek exit from the euro. >> today we had 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. >> but it's no laughing matter for the greeks. they need to adopt a large package of reforms in the next two days and agree to sell off 50 billion euros of state assets. a clearly exhausted alexis tsipras tried to put the best possible gloss on it. >> translator: the deal is difficult but we have prevented the transfer of public property abroad. we have prevented the plan of financial asphyxiation. recently started to be implemented. finally we achieved in this hard

fight the restructure of the debt and secured financing for medium term. >> reporter: chancellorchancellor merkel said they had looked at restructuring the debt. >> over the past few weeks and months the most important currency trust was lost between us, as we all know, paper is patient. the most important thing going forward is to implement what we agreed to during the night. >> these were grueling talks this process is far from over. the idea is that half the money raised for the privatizations will be used to recapitalize the greek banks. a quarter of it will be used to pay off the greek debt and the rest will be reinvested into greece. but eurozone leaders have made it clear that talks on the
3:04 pm
bailout cannot even begin until the greek parliament passes the whole package of measures into law. so the european leaders drive away into the gray light of morning. most of them can now catch some badly needed sleep. but not the greek prime minister. for sure the night was bruising for him. and he could only expect another bruising when he returns to face the parliament and people of greece. jacky rowland al jazeera brussels. >> let's get the news from greece now, simon mcgregor wood is live for us in athens. how difficult is it simon for the prime minister alexis tsipras to get this through parliament? >> it's certainly going to be a challenge. he's not been back in athens for very long but forced into a series of difficult meetings this evening with his junior coalition partner the right wing independent greeks, they've come
3:05 pm
out load led by the finance mirchts, saying they can't support the deal as it stands. that's 13 seats in parliament. he's got a rising rebellion among his syriza party couple dozen of that party will probably vote against or abstain. it is manageable because the opposition parties in the main are going to vote with him. so i think mathematics are still very much in his favor. but it's a difficult one in the medium term maryam because he may lose the majority from his governing coalition and there's increasingincreaseing speculation that he may perhaps go for a government of national unity better equipped to push through these reforms beyond wednesday wednesday is crucial but there are other legislative deadlines that has been settle by europe
3:06 pm
next week and beyond. he need much needs a much stronger government going forward that's for sure. >> how about cash supplies, supplies of food and medicine are decreasing, closed banks. what is the atmosphere in the greek capital? >> it's pretty gloomy. there is a sullen resignation that this is deal, the only real option for greeks. but let's not forget. the extraordinary turn around in this story if you like for last eight days, it was eight days ago that 61% of the greeks voted no. a resounding majority in the referendum that mr. tsipras set them. he said vote against the concept of austerity the package that was on the stable then, and i will negotiate a better deal for you in brussels. they did vote no. but he was unable to deliver a better deal. he in fact brought back what appears to be a much worse deal.
3:07 pm
one of the things i think people were hoping for once the news emerged from brussels is at least the banks would start to get more cash from the european central bank, that's not going to happen. we layered from the greek central bank that the greek banks are going to stay closed for at least until wednesday. i think it may be beyond that. and then we have this other macroeconomic cash crisis. we've got some deadlines that the greek government have got to repay debt coming up the next week. the big one is monday, 3.3 billion euros back to the european central bank. where is that going to come from? and a bridging loan, again that is contingent on mr. tsipras getting a majority for those controversial laws, all hinges on wednesday. >> that crucial point these negotiations have not yet finished, they have yet to be concluded, simon mcgregor wood in the greek capital athens.

3:10 pm
yesterday 24 hours ago i was sitting with mr. adnan after he was released from what is known as administrative detention. now administrative detention basically means that israel can arrest a palestinian and effectively hold them without charge or trial and basically for six months and they can renew this administrative detention every six months which effectively means they can hold people without charge or without trial indefinitely. now as we've mentioned in our intro mr. adnan has been arrested several times by the israeli authorities. for six years of his life he has been held in administrative detention and he has had now two successful hunker strikes against administrative detention. this last one lasted well over 50 days when the officials agreed to release limb that in case mr. adnan died it would

3:13 pm
on the balcony of her hotel. >> is there a chance for a deal today her representative? are you making progress? so there you go. answers by sign language from the eu's top foreign policy official. and a little later on this pantomime way of getting news continued. because the iranian foreign minister came on to his balcony and again we shouted questions. he said he was tired and overworked and said when asked when there was going to be a deal today monday he said no. would there be a deal on tuesday he said possibly. so i'm afraid that's the only sort of information we have and no detail no nuance at all on this but we know behind the scenes they're working away. the interim deal with iran that's been extended so many times is also expected to expire in a couple of hours' time so if
