difficulty keeping his own coalition together. significant opposition to accepting a deal and with the appeal to the greek people he seems to be setting himself up for disappointment. the only way out is to accept these terms and to move forward with very difficult internal reform decisions. if he does that he risks division in his own party and great public dissatisfaction. he said he might have to put such a deal to referendum with the greek people. speech as a today's way of setting up the great people for a bigger decision at the end of this month. they've now postponed payments until the end of june. alix: grilling the creditors in greece are haggling over 7.2 billion euros. it is a drop in the bucket.
3:36 pm
why not just pay it? how much money is that really when they go so much more -- owe so much more? guest: a lot of this is about politics and keeping his coalition together. a lot of it has been brought about by the inexperience of this greek government. he came into office several months ago they immediately took on the german government by asking for war reparations. it took on the u.s. and the russian leadership. they have made a lot of mistakes and find themselves without any country supporting them. there is unanimity on the european side. go but toowhere to accept this deal and to move ahead with these reforms. that would be very unpopular,

winning. right now it is opec producers. but we have to be mindful of is that what opec says and what opec does our two different things. historically they have never held to their own self-imposed quotas. it is revenue for their countries. everyone of the smaller countries has incentives to put more barrels on the global market. alix: the saudi arabian oil minister saying that oil production is a sovereign right, your point -- to your point when his shale going to become the new opec? they could affect this really quickly when it comes to production. dan: part of my new book is this changeover of this marginal swing barrel that has been in the hands of opec for as long as we can remember. in the unitedhere
3:51 pm
