out on his legal victory against the government and whether he is really satisfied with the outcome. pimm: it's less than a week to bailoute greece's expires an agreement to lockout emergency loans and lockout remains in reach but you lucid. the euro area finance ministers meeting in brussels broke up today with no deal for greece. not yet. olivia: hans nichols still in brussels with the very latest. what is the current state of play? at the sites come together or retired for the night -- have the sides come together? >> financing ministers are still having meetings. i just walked out trying to get him to give me insight for what is happening inside the negotiations. what he said earlier is negotiations will continue as long as there is not a deal, meaning they are willing to stay here a long time. earlier a finance minister

almost needled reporters saying i will see you all saturday. saturday morning seemed to be his implication of when the euro finance ministers would meet again. all of that is the long way of saying there is a short amount of time and long amount of time. sunday until saturday or to have some sort of agreement in brussels so it can go to the parliament in athens for a vote sunday and potentially a vote monday. there is a lot of time between now and then. it looks like we may be here until saturday. pimm: i am just wondering if you can describe where you are? the wondering whether negotiations have become their own mini economy? well, they have become their many economy, but here inside the european union, the commission press building it is subsidized. i bought a cup of coffee for $.80. outside it is at least two

dollars $.50. the economy is doing just fine, but it is subsidized. you see the flags behind me. one of the strongest arguments for keeping greece in the euro, at least one of the strongest arguments greece has is no one wants to take down a flat behind me. that is ultimately the implication if there is a greek exit. the european union would fundamentally change. that is one of the arguments most left unsaid, but it is really looming over the discussions. what happens the day after greece defaults? what happens to the european union, the project 60 years in the making? nicholsthank you, hans joining us from brussels. pimm: one of the biggest challenges greece faces is not financial but colts role. olivia: we asked larry summers whether this can create cultural change in greece. >> you could coach me or pressure meme or

all you want, and i will not be high jumping seven feet. it is just not going to happen. happenedhings that more naturally in one country are less likely to happen at least immediately in another country. on the other hand, i think that it is very much a mistake to determinismlts role -- cultural determinism. people believed 50 years ago that south korea could never prosper because of its culture. in earlier time people believed a confucian culture met china was forever doomed to slow economic growth. there are many, many statements of this is the way a certain culture seems, and therefore, it .annot economically

i don't think that is right. i think with the right kind of leadership people spoke even 20 years ago, less than 20 years ago actually about germany as a sick man of europe. theory of soltural much attention to this and that and so much need for social protection that germany cannot become competitive and prosper, so i think obviously every countries historical context is different, but it is a matter of putting in place systems. it is a matter of leadership. ,t is a matter of incentives and i do not think there is any reason why greece cannot overtime prosper and converge with the rest of europe. that needs to be the objective. how do negotiators in

brussels today lay the groundwork for the kind of cultural change you talk about that happened in south korea for example? >> part of it i think is that unreasonable and excessive demands. on greece.mpose part of it is that they provide in the way that the united states after the korean war provided generous support to south korea. it is they provide the kinds of technical assistance and help and large numbers of experts for reforming, helping performed the greek tax ministry. to take an example much closer said in it was famously

the end of the 1980's that mexico could not collect taxes. mexico's economy has challenges, the society has challenges him up but nobody says today mexico .s incapable of collect taxes so this is a problem that can be solved. it does not get solved in a day, , but a month or a year with leaders that had the political courage to punish competentwith assistance these are problems that are solvable. olivia: brendan joins us now onset. is summers confident we're going to get a deal with greece? no debt deal is ever the last debt deal. advocateig proponent,

of the idea we do not really know what is going to happen. state, the word they'll which is what reese could potentially become. state.words failed that is the point, that the cost to europe of having a failed state is far greater than bailing them out. the debt load also is going to have to be restructured. that is why we are to be here again in two years, because they're going to fail to restructure and we will be right back at the table having this conversation. olivia: thank you so much. pimm: is that really what your german mother would say? i hear a lot of nine. pimm: more on the pivotal news of the day. the u.s. supreme court upholds -- uphold subsidies that will continue the affordable care act

done intentionally. if they could provide statistics there was discrimination in .lace, they could sue the obama administration has used this statue to get hundreds of millions on civil rights cases through the justice department against top wall street banks. big business was very opposed to this. they have been trying to get this to the supreme court for the better part of the past three years. the obama administration is been working behind the scenes to keep this from happening. that is how sure they work they would lose the case of the got to the supreme court. in the last few minutes they settled separate cases before it got to the supreme court. they want today. that was a big surprise. -- they won today. olivia: i was struck by the blistering dissent from justice scalia. at one point he said words have no meaning. dissents are always

fun to read. it was 6-3 with john roberts more or less saving the law. he made very clear the law is flawed in several different ways. he said intent matters and cited specific statutes in the past where he was intent, not specific language. on some level justice john roberts will go down as protecting obamacare, but also trying to stick within statute and president as he made the decision. pimm: thank you very much, phil mattingly following all of the decisions by the supreme court. still ahead, should driverless cars get to decide who lives or dies in an automobile accident? olivia: it is a scary thought. we will take you to the heated debate between technology and philosophy in the auto industry. ♪

fiction does play a role. the laws from the author of irobot in the 1950's say a robot should do no harm to a human. that is the first rule. there are other things called morality math. you try to determine how many lives will be saved or how many harmed, but then you are putting a value on the lives. each of the rules they might come up with have downside. there is still very much working through them. olivia: some people say there has to be a principal that only humans should be able to make a decision between life and death and there needs to be some kind of hybrid functionality whereby you combine decision-making of humor on -- humans and robots. how would that work? >> the automakers say this, too, that the human is always

ultimately responsible for the car, and in the situations where a crash is unavoidable they will ask the human to step back in, grabbed the wheel and swerve it out of the way themselves. that all sounds good in theory, but a -- if you have been inattentive, reading a book, doing your e-mail, then how can you come back to the situation and make a snap decision and make a good one? pimm: we want to thank you on the ethics of driverless automobiles and potential automobile accident. scary. olivia: it is scary. something they will work out we help. i will leave it to you. olivia: thank you. much more to come. don't go away. ♪

understood the facts pretty quickly and made the right decision on that. betty: i know you are appealing. you made the decision a few days ago. why was the decision not enough for you? it was a moral victory. >> shareholders involved in that. there were 275,000 shareholders involved in that. did you hear from them after the decision? what was the some wereou got? >> happy that we did win. disappointed in the fact that here the government did something improper, overstuffed -- overstepped its authority and benefited to the tune of $23 million or more, and the one who overstepped their bounds got

rewarded, and the shareholders who were the victim of that did not. betty: new had said before, and i understand you were representing a class action lawsuit. , and itad said before is a class action lawsuit, two hundred 75,000 shareholders. how much of the percentage would you get of the settlement if you think it would i be between 10% and 12%. it is not me. betty: what would you do with that money? >> a very small part. betty: the funds that you got, what would you do with it? would begin to charity, and some would be invested. what do you normally do? betty: i don't know, i have never been

in the situation before. during the trial you were there. you saw the witnesses. i was not. i was not permitted to attend the trial because i was on the government's witness list. the rule of the court was that i could not appear there. the government did not call me betty:. --the government did not call me. betty: but you did go to d.c.? >> i did go to the last discussion. betty: what bothered you the most? what bothered me the most is the way the senate acted and went beyond the authority that they had. 13-3 is this attitude call , the federal reserve act. congress decides how much authority the executive branch of government has. had authority to lend

money, and they did. they lend money to many institutions. they were not authorized to take equity. that's got that 80% of aig. got 80 percent of aig. that is one of the major issues in the case. who isn't? those in charge of that area. the three people were polson, bernanke, and geithner. -- pualson. aulson. betty: whose testimony did you find the most revealing? want to get into personalities. i think they each said what they believed in. wasink paulson straightforward. i just read some of the testimony. i was not in the courtroom; not tell you. timothy geithner i was a little

surprised by. defending what they did. the law seemed quite clear. i read it. i know you disagreed with wheeler's desertion it would have gone to zero had the government not stepped in. tell us why you disagree with that and what options were there at that time? >> with all due respect to judge wheeler who i think is a judge, to suggest that you know what a bankruptcy court would do and what the outcome would be is a little puzzling to me. first of all, there are many had.ns aig they were being called on for collateral. aig did not have a solvency -- had athey had let

liquidity problem all of the rest of the institutions had. they all had liquidity problems. morgan stanley got far more money from the fed then aig did. got 180 odd billion but paid it all back. the government made 23 billion on that transaction. if you did not have the authority to take equity, what aig would have done, they could have sent to the counterparties the securities that you were as aaa rated were not . why would we betty: respond to a collateral call? that boils down to leadership doesn't it? absolutely.

but if you are going to go to bankruptcy court, how do you know now with the bankruptcy do? aig did not have a solvency problem. they had about 80 billion of net worth at the time. betty: and you said before, they had assets. >> they could have sold them to raise the money. of course they could have. they sold later at a huge value. every insurance company they owned was more than solvent. they had plenty of collateral and assets. going ahead with the repeal. will you seek redemption if you win? >> yes, we will. betty: are you finding this case alone? i know you are representing 200 75,000 shareholders -- 275,000.

>> a couple of contributors that yes. langone, is he teaming up with you caps off >o? >> yes, he is. betty: you and i have talked about this for many years. you will take this to the highest court if you need to. so why? why is this so important to you gekko tell the world why is this so important to you? >> if the government overstepped its bounds in the executive branch, they have to be held accountable for it. without a constitution, what are constitution, if the government can overstepped its bounds, they are going to be held accountable. i am serious about that.

this is not just conversation. i can feel that. the supreme court decision is another example of this. go, you are much more than just an aig case. you are quite concerned about trade in the u.s. the fast-trackon authority in the senate. how do you feel about this ? >> i think there was damage. a 40ad the president has for that. we need to have trade agreement. we don't want to isolate ourselves. glad the president has a deal for that. it will take 10 years to negotiate. betty: it has fallen on deaf ears. >> i know that. betty: you think it will continue? >> for a while.

betty: hank greenberg, the former longtime chairman of aig. back to you. you.a: thank still ahead, we will hear from virgin group founder sir richard branson on why he is backing a company that is waiting to build a constellation of satellites to provide broadband services to every corner of the earth. ♪
