what we says about it. greece is seeking access to 85 billion euros, but it has to agree to target by it's lenders. producing a budget surplus by next year, and returning to a growth level of 2.3%, of gross domestic product by 2017. the doom had to be agreed by the end of the week, a political economist specializing in integration, thank you for being with us on the program, there's been
2:21 pm
definitely positive noises coming out of the greek government, about this deal, is it a done deal do you think. >> it seems an agreement has been reached although berlin is making weaves. so i think we have to wait. is it going to benefit greece. >> well, if you listen to the government propaganda, this is a fantastic deal. one wonders why greece hasn't done a deal like this before. well, it's a outrageous statement. this is an agreement that essentially converts greece into a german protectate. >> there's no government in the world democratically
2:22 pm
elected government in the world, that would have been allowed to carry out this reforms. but the greek government has been asked to carry out. it is outrageous agreement. hasn't it simply run out of options in. >> i am so, are i didn't hear the question. >> it's an agreement that greece has to agree to because it has running out of options. >> well, yes, the greek government will agree to the agreement, how will it be able to carry out the radical retomorrows demanded by this agreement is a different story. and i think this is the question mark in berlin's head. angela merkel seems to have second thoughts about this deal. i think precisely, because they don't trust the greek government in being able to carry out the reforms. >> the greek government the
2:23 pm
prime minister, seems to be very confident this will all go ahead, is he right? would it have go through the greek parliament, because the greek parliament has to agree to this. >> the far limit will agree to it simply because of all of the opposition will provide support. so that doesn't really have to have support from all of it's memberrens. but lit get support from all the other parties with the exception of the greek communist party. >> greece does seem to have lurched from one with financial disas tore another over the past whatever ten years. and, of course, even if this deal does go ahead, one of the key problems my guess is that it still has to find a bay to reduce it's massive debt. this deal doesn't do anything to address the debt that's one major problem. in fact, we can expect that
2:24 pm
the debt g.d.p. ratio to increase, precise as a result of this agreement. because the agreement carries so many recession marry measures. that will -- that will send the economy into a free fall. i mean major major economic problems with this agreement. >> it doesn't do anything to address development. growth. and, of course, if there is no growth, in development, that the debt ratio will also go up. >> good to get your thoughts that's c.j. joining us there live from the greek capitol, thank you so much. >> well fighting has broken out among hundreds of frustrated migrants on the greek island. police sprayed the crowd with fire extinguishers. the u.n. says 124,000 migrants have arrived on the eastern land since the beginning of the year.

night. they have been effected by government policies a the rest of the society. some of the refugees say they want to go to europe. the return to deported after having reached as far as even egypt. to cross over into europe. >> by the number of people who are living the government is simply the u.n. security council to help bring traffickers to justice. in here will disagree. russia is officially in recession, and the figures are worst than predicted.
2:34 pm
though they expect this is retaliation for the investigation into the shooting down of the flight over ukraine last year. in response to western sanctions levied for the annexation, and the war in ukraine, russia bans the import of many foods. in recent days it's been destroying embargo product, seized as the borders. less spectacular is what is
2:35 pm
happening to the economy. the figures just released show there was a 4.6 contraction in the second quarter of 2015. compared to the same quarter of last year. now that follows at 2.2% contraction, in the first three months of this year. there's no doubt about it, russia is in recession. of course, this was widely expected one with has come as a shock as that the contraction was slightly worse than analysts were predicting. in the second quarter we saw that the real wages of the population continue to decline, also the tail end -- and in my view this was constraining consumption. >> the pressure of more than a year of western sanctions is playing a part in this, so too is the renewed slide in the price of oil. it is. ing the rubble back down to a dollar value, not seen since february. the government here has been saying for several months that the worst with is over,
2:36 pm
and it doesn't seem to be yet. dutch prosecutors investigating the downing of flight mh 17 last year say some of the debris may belong to a russian made missile system. killing all 298 people onboard. >> if this is -- the this could be the missile system which downed the mh 17, if the that is true, then we have important material in the investigation which can hope us to find out where this was this missile commenting from, where does it made it shows how
2:37 pm
difficult coming through these fragments are for these investigators. >> indeed, and now her facing more daunting work. of whether they do belong to the system, and other systems. thorn the second step would be to establish causality. between the missile and the actual aircraft, because eastern ukraine is a war with zone, and there's a number of missiles being fired any time. even though there is a cease fire. so proving that that missile did bring down an aircraft, would be with very important step in the investigation. and there will still be problems and not necessarily proof of who fired at the missile. so proving the causality, and who shot that in the sky would be the final steps to actually supporting the theory.
2:38 pm
given that it is effectively a war zone where the aircraft crashed is it likely that it is part of a missile system? because there would have been others being used in that area. >> the investigators feel confident enough to go public with this information, there is a reason to believe they have strong indications that it is a part of a missile system, and they need to positively establish deputies in this case. >> yeah, the forensics are able to do that, i have to say proving who fires the missile, and indeed mr. it brought down mh 17 is another matter all together. and even if they do come one findings and say we assume, or presume, we are not convinced entirely, but we with do think it is and so and it did bring down the plane, those cues will be easily i guess defend themselves. >> taking place, that would
2:39 pm
explain the same chain of events that will be identified by the investigator. it is unlikely that they will simply just say that yes it was us. that's not a very likely scenario, in any case we with can have refuting of any of the theories. >> how much of what actually happened and the accusations that have been banned around, how much does that play into what has been happening in eastern ukraine. or is that something that is now forgotten. >> in fact, this was an incident that happened within the war. but it is not necessarily related to the actual on the ground or the motivations on either side of the conflict, what this particle is to trigger economic sanctions against russia. and that is probably the most important aspect of that story, that has been brought on by the actual crash.
2:40 pm
>> a separate fire, further north which has been burning since saturday was put out on tuesday morning. 80% of portugal is experiencing a severe drought, which has increased the risk of forest fires. and firefighters in spain are battling three wild fires in the northern region. the president in one village used garden hoses and buckets of water to help contain the fire. investigators believe these blazes may also have been started. deliberately. >> japan has restarted the nuclear reactor at it's power station, it is the first reactor to begin operating under new safety rules. the decision has been highly

2:42 pm
but one former nuclear plant designer says restarting a facility is fought with difficult by. >> the elements would have been stopped so it is harder, if you have tweaked something that part needs more inspection, and it is already more than 30 years old, they need to review the safety on that bases too. >> the prime minister who overturned the previous government decision to phase out the power, this is an important part of his economic recovery plan. fossil fuel imports that caused electricity costs to jump by a quarter since the disaster. and jet the majority still oppose as return to nuclear energy. the government says the restater was a decision for the power company, but the protestors here there is no question this process is being dish by the prime minister. outside the office here may be small, but polls consistently suggest that around 60% of japanese people are against the plan.
