6:03 pm
to be implemented. finally we achieved the restructuring of debt and secured financing for the medium term. >> chancellor angela merkel was categorical that none of it would be written off. >> this success has come in spite of the fact that over the past few weeks and months, the most important currency, trust was lost between us. but as we all know, paper is patient. going forward the most important thing will be to implement what we've agreed during the night. >> these were grueling talks for everyone that spent the night at the european council but 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
6:04 pm
it clear that talks on the 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 whether he returns to face the parliament and people of greece. jacky rowland, al jazeera brussels. >> simon mcgregor wood is in the greek capital athens for us and sent us this update. >> the mood is a pretty gloomy one in athens. a sense of betrayal. eight days ago there was a sense of great jubilation. they thought in this referendum that would give their government a democratic mandate to secure a better deal from europe. it's not case. they got a worse deal. the politics gets extremely
6:05 pm
complicated for prime minister tsipras. he is meeting with members of his coalition government, on tuesday he has overy difficult meeting from members of the syriza party, there are people from the left-hand extreme of that party already threatening to walk out. he probably has the numbers he needs with the help of the opposition parties to get these laws through parliament on wednesday. if he doesn't do that, the whole deal is off the table. but it's an absolutely critical moment for him. he's got a deal but he's entering a domestic political mine field and it's by no means clear he's going to get through it in one piece. >> as later self-imposed deadline for iran nuclear deal draws close indication the discussions will continue into the night.

6:07 pm
by tuesday he said possibly. one analyst told me everyone involved in the talks knows what's at stake if they don't get a deal. >> if either party miscalculates and thinks the other side is in a position of weakness and is more keen to get an agreement than it is, i'm afraid this process can collapse. and if that gamble fails basically this opportunity is lost. i don't think it can be renewed a few months down the road. because not only the parties will lose momentum but a tremendous amount of trust will be lost and that's the biggest asset in the negotiations. >> reporter: for the diplomats inside the hotel and the journalists camping outside these have become mammoth negotiations. the deal still has not been done an the round the clock diplomacy continues. james bays, al jazeera vienna.

6:15 pm
line, on immigration environment and economy. i think he's going to go through a litany of things and try to reintroduce himself to the american public. while he was known the beginning of the year and people were talking about him he's ebbed a little bit and been a little quieter lately. >> even though he has been a conservative darling of late, he doesn't have much foreign policy experience. because of his experience dealing with the 100,000 protestors in wisconsin he had the ability to take on some of the challenges overseas and he had to very quickly backtrack and said he wasn't comparing the protesters in wisconsin to i.s.i.l. however it was somewhat of a gap. scott walker still leads the polling among the cawrkz caucus goers.

[cheering and applause] >> you know as kids my brother david and i used to love to go over and visit one of our neighbors by the name of clear condon. he was a legend had served the country in world war i and world war ii.
6:19 pm
[cheering and applause] >> then like so many other veterans he came back and served his community. over the years we used to love to see him down at the concession stand at legion baseball. he would help out at the church and he was a leader at my boy scout troop. i remember he would organize me and all the other scouts as we would go through and put up flags on the graves of the fallen. it was impossible to be around mr. condin and not share his love for god and country. you know i think back 30 years ago, mr. condin's american legion post, it was there i learned about state and local government. along the way it was interesting. i got the chance to be selected to represent wisconsin at a program out in washington d.c. called boys nation and there i met another veteran a vietnam
6:20 pm
veteran from georgia named bob turner. they taught us about the federal government and national elections, they shared their love for our country and they inspired within me the importance of public service when it comes to defending our liberties. veterans like that remind me that what makes america graik is great is that america is a can-do country. unfortunately we have a government in washington that can't seem to get the job done. washington what i call 68 square miles surrounded by reality. it's not too late, we can turn things around! [cheering and applause] >> to do that we need new fresh, leadership.
6:21 pm
leadership with big bold ideas from outside of washington, the kind of leadership that knows how to get things done like we've done here in wisconsin. [cheering and applause] >> since i've been governor we took on the unions and we won! [cheering and applause] >> we lowered taxes by $2 billion, in fact we lowered taxes on individuals on employers and property owners, property taxes today are lower than they were four years ago. how many other governors can say that? [cheering and applause] >> since i've bens been governor we passed lawsuit reform and
6:22 pm
prolife legislation. [cheering and applause] >> we enacted castle doctrine and concealed carry so we can protect our families ourselves and outer properties. [cheering and applause] -- and our properties. and we now require a photo i.d. to vote in this state. [cheering and applause] >> if our reforms can work, in a blue state like wisconsin they can work anywhere in america! [cheering and applause] >> as i travel this country though i got to tell ya i layer people are truss traited with politicians, telling them what they're for and against for
6:23 pm
someone, so tonight let me tell you what i'm for. i'm for reform, growth, safety, i'm for transferring power from washington, into the hands of hardworking taxpayers in states all across the country. that's real reform. [applause] >> i'm for building a better economy that allows everyone to live their piece of the american dream. that's pro-growth. [cheering and applause] >> and i'm for protecting our children and our grandchildren from radical islamic terrorism and all throughout the world that's true safety!
6:24 pm
>> my record shows that i know how to fight and win. now, more than ever, america needs a president who will fight and win for america. [applause] >> so first so first let me tell you why i'm for real reform in washington. you see our big bold reforms here in wisconsin took the power out of the hands of the big government special interests and put them firmly into the hands of the hardworking taxpayers. today, today in this state people who are actually electeds by local property taxpayers literal run our schools. that way we get rid of seniority and tenure, pay based on performance and put the best and the brightest in our classrooms.
6:25 pm
[cheering and applause] >> now think about that: four years later four years later graduation rates are up. third grade reading scores are higher and wisconsin's act scores are now second-best in the country. our reforms work! [cheering and applause] >> that just goes to show that government closest to the people is generally the best. which is precisely why we need to take power and money out of washington and send it back to our states, in key areas like medicaid and transportation and workforce development and education. [cheering and applause] >> sadly though, sadly though, washington seems to think that
6:26 pm
success is measured by how many people are dependent on the government. [ boos ] >> we measure success by just the opposite, by how many people are no longer dependent on the government! [cheering and applause] >> we understand that true freedom and prosperity do not come from the mighty hand of the government. they come from empowering people to control their own lives dignity of work, of work, that's what we stand for! >> now, as a kid my first job was washing dishes at the country side restaurant. then i moved up to the big time. i started flipping hamburgers in high school at mcdonald's to save up for college. my dad who you heard before was a shawl town preacher and my mom
6:27 pm
was a small town secretary and bookkeeper, they didn't have indoor plumbing until my parents went to high school, my brother and i thought throughout the years we realized we didn't inherit fame and fortunate from our family, but the believe when you work hard and play by the rules you can do, and be, anything! [cheering and applause] >> that's right. you see that's the american dream. and that is worth fighting for. when we help, when we help people, when we help people, adults are able to work
6:28 pm
transition from government dependence to true independence. we help people live that piece of the american dream. we have a program right here in wisconsin that requires people to be signed up for one ever our employability programs, before they can get a welfare check now as to the budget i just signed we make sure people can pass a drug test before they get employed. [cheering and applause] >> that's right. you can only imagine what the defenders of the status quo felt when i was proposing those reforms. they said it was hard he to get government assistance. i said no, i'm making it easier to get a job. isn't that what it's all about? [cheering and applause]
6:29 pm
>> now, you know strong families are important in this whole role as well. you see we know that children are raised in a household with both parents involved they're more likely to finish school, to get a good job and to live a life free of government dependence. we need a federal government that will actually stand up and support strong families by getting rid of the margin penalties, welfare policies that make it harder for families to play an active role in the lives of their children. we need to encourage families -- [cheering and applause] >> i know thinking about my own family i know for me, both my parents were so important for david and me as we grew up as kids and now for tonette and i our children have turned out to be pretty impressive. haven't they?
6:30 pm
[cheering and applause] >> we're so proud of them. i think about matt and i think about alex and i think about all others in their generation. for them i want to grow up in a free and prosperous country. that's really about the american dream there. [cheering and applause] >> now, to ensure that prosperity we need to be for a pro-growth economic plan that enables our individuals and our families to earn, to save, and to achieve their piece of the american dream. now there's a real contrast out there. instead of the top-down government knows the best approach that you hear from so many in washington, we need to build the economy from the ground up in a way that's new and fresh and organic that says as long as you don't endanger the health and safety of your neighbor, go out and start your own business, live your own life!
