we will see if there is an impact when market opens in about a half an hour. rishaad: greece being told to accept more austerity and win back trust, or be forced out of the euro. creditorspras faced in brussels and was told he has 72 hours to drive through measures he has already rejected to secure more eight. talks have come to a head with patients running out. divisions at the heart of europe, germany wanting to cut greece this, and that's it loose, and a warning from italy. it seems like the creditors have finally had enough. it certainly does seem that way. what we have seen today is the eurozone finance minister is put forward a document with a list of reforms that greece has to
9:04 pm
make. measures we have seen before, a lot of them actually reiterate things greece did not implement from previous bailouts. it is things like cutting pensions and raising sales taxes, but also giving greece's full access -- creditors for and also transferring as much as 50 billion euros of state assets to an independent company for sale. we have heard that has been the 50 billion euro of state assets, one of the biggest sticking points. but that actually greece is starting to relent on a lot of the points. the meetings have been going on for hours. we were hearing they could wrap that is looking unlikely now given that we are hearing alexis tsipras has gone meetingther bilateral with angela merkel and francois hollande. the reason is because
9:05 pm
they are taking into account how much greece's economy has deteriorated over the past couple of weeks. also there has been a loss of trust. that could be one of the biggest things standing in alexis ' way.s is wa finance ministers are not sure that greece will put these changes into law, they are given three days. angela merkel really summed it up as she went into the meeting today. she said that actually the biggest currency that has been lost now is trust and reliability. back to you. rishaad: thank you. alexis tsipras must convince lawmakers before the setting you -- 72 hour deadline expires. can he do it?

guarantee or corollary -- or collateral. that would be state accents in -- assets in luxenberg. when there was a bow over the weekend, he got that support he needed. but the dissenters were from within his own party. what he's got to do is decide what kind of politician he wants. he can use the opposition to push the measures that creditors are seeking through, almost certainly. but he would be using some political capital and expending his own political support within his party to do that. that could mean all kinds of political turmoil here in greece. that could mean early elections, and almost certainly reshuffling of the government, changing government ministers. he probably wants to do it, he probably can do it, but it requires a lot of pain in offense. -- athens. we will be revisiting

things are certainly coming to a head, aren't they? not quite look like it. at the moment, alexis tsipras, angela merkel, francois hollande are in a bilateral meeting, their third one since the start of these negotiations. i have just heard that they are not back in full session yet with all the eurozone leaders. we were talking before about this possibly all coming to a head in -- at 4:00 in the morning brussels time, but that is looking unlikely with every minute they goes by. they are discussing these proposals, a document put forward by eurozone finance ministers insisting that greece implement harsher reforms in three days time. they have given them a three-day deadline to do that, too actually passed these measures s these measures into law before getting any sort of bailout. the reason we are seeing harsher
9:37 pm
measures is the economy has deteriorated with the capital controls. they have taken that into account. that is part of the reason for that. there has been a lot of trust in greece and actually being able to do what it says, which is why they are saying it has to put all this into law before any steps are taken with the bailout here to what angela merkel had to say on the way to the meeting. hand,llor merkel: on one the economic situation of greece and the deterioration over the last month. on the other hand, it is because the most important currency got lost, and that is trust and reliability. we will have rigorous talks today and there will not be an agreement at all costs. >> you heard it. most important currency is trust. that is one thing that the greeks are going to have to try to regain at these meetings today. rishaad: the question everybody
9:38 pm
wants to know is, is a grexit anymore or less likely? >> that is very hard to call at this point in time. one thing i will say is that the germans were talking about greece taking five years out of the eurozone. this has manifested itself as well in this document that eurozone finance ministers put forward. they talked about a timeout for greece. this is part of the discussion. that the maltese prime minister pointed out is that the bigger meeting of eu leaders has been canceled. they were set to talk about the mechanics of a grexit. the euro is a little weaker against the dollar. it seems investors are reading that a grexit is perhaps not in the cards, but the ball is in greece's court. the question of a grexit will
9:39 pm
rest on whether the parliament in greece decides to pass these measures into law. back to you. rishaad: thank you. , the parliament in alexis tsiprases have to do now? ryan chilcote is in the greek capital. you skin away, if the noise, you effectively have to do two things. one, he has to push more austerity and pain his country's parliament. number two, he has to frontload that pain before he gets a chance at the bailout money from the creditors. very different from when i was here five years ago, when they were talking about the verse bailout. that government got the money from the creditors and the eu and was able to impose its own austerity program. but this time, because of the credibility problem that this government has, that is the new twist.
9:40 pm
they want the reforms first and then they will think about giving money. likelihoodat is the he will get what creditors want through parliament? ryan: here is the thing. two of the measures that the creditors are looking for, raising sales taxes and raising them on more things than they would have been talking about in the past and cutting pensions, is something that 251 out of the 300 parliamentarians here in greece actually gave their , gave the greek prime minister their support on over the weekend, in a vote. they did not turn it into a law, though. that would happen -- have to happen by wednesday. we are pretty much insured support on that front from the broad spectrum of political forces that exist in greece's parliament. the issue is this -- not all of his own party, not all of the members of syriza, supported
9:41 pm
those measures predate they do not like some of the new ones. the creditors are now asking that all measures that were imposed by this new government that were not agreed with the creditors, those have to be rolled back. the moreon to austerity, what they want our guarantees. they want automatic spending budget greece misses its targets. a tough sell, particularly on the left-hand side of the political flank. finally, they want -- this is coming from the german finance minister -- a 50 billion euro fund to set up. this would allow greek state access that would serve as collateral should the greeks not repay the 86 billion euros that the eu and its creditors are talking about giving them. if they do not, they would have to privatize it. this is something that west germany, if you will, did or
9:42 pm
demanded of east germany when east germany was brought into the fold in exchange for the financial assistance it gave east germany. will people here like that? i do not know. in a nutshell, the prime minister of this country has to decide what kind of allocation he wants to be. he could probably get a lot of this through the parliament, though that is debatable. he will have to do it at the expense of some of his own support. that might mean a reshuffle of the cabinet and snap elections in this country. thanks for that. ryan chilcote joining us from athens. we are going to take a break. up next, a new deadline for greece and we are discussing some key trade data out of china. we look at what is moving markets in asia and what is likely to move markets in asia in the coming days. ♪
