harsher than those that greeks rejected last weekend. overalls,ncludes tax curbing pension costs, and more. hans nichols, good evening. from most people it is more than likely the greek parliament will pass this because all of the opposition members are going to vote for it, right? 251-vote know, that that gave him the authority to negotiate when he lost 70 members of syriza this weekend, that is the baseline number. it looks like he can get these proposals through. this is the timeline. this is what is coming into focus. there will be a wednesday vote in athens, a friday vote, if all of that is approved, then you have the negotiation, and here is the part where i think mark crumpton needs to cancel his

august holiday. it looks like it will be a aur-week negotiation, not two-week negotiation. for weeks on our calendar puts us into early august, and there is no consensus on what you do for bridge financing. morewill need 7, 8, maybe through august, 100 $50 million due to the imf today. there is something that could happen potentially on bilateral loans, but a eurogroup loan, the finance minister does not have the mandate to do that. mark: speaking of a mandate, do you get a sense that the greek people feel betrayed from their government? syriza and alexis tsipras ran on an anti-austerity platform. what is being proposed is even harsher than what was originally proposed by international creditors. mark,that is undeniable,

2:12 pm
blackmail. he says, no, he is hopeful. it is going to be difficult to get the political support, but he is fairly confident he will get it. listen to this. difficult task for everyone, because they have to what they have not done in five years. instead of undertaking those reforms, they were trying to avoid them and they were taking all of these parliamentary measures -- that means cutting salaries, pensions -- and that has proven to be the worst choice. so, almost everybody thinks he will be able to find a those votes. more pressing for the people in athens, when are the banks going to reopen? i spoke to the mayor about the damage done in greece. and here is what he had to say about that.
2:13 pm
>> speaking at least for the city of athens, we have a very heavy loss, and it is so sad, you know, because all of the forecast before the crisis were we would have the most terrific tourist season for both times. i do want to stress though finally it is not chaos. athens is not turned into a cash only economy. i have not run out of cash. there is a sense of relief. there are short lines outside of atms, not long lines. i have not seen a lot of atm's that of run out of money. perhaps the people most panicked in people who are working tourism. taxi drivers are waiting twice as long as they used to. olivia sterns in athens.

i read that they produce the most oil since ever, even the 1980's. alix: this is saudi arabia, so it's pretty staggering. 10.5 million barrels of oil per day. that is a ton of oil. that is the most it has ever produced. supposedly the reason why saudi arabia is actually doing that is because of the demand for 2016. that means that currently opec is still overproducing by anywhere between one million barrels in 2 million barrels per day. last week saudi arabia cut the official price. this was big news for the market . oil is not down tremendously. matt: 52.09 per barrel. that is the oil here. is tos part of their play try to produce as much as they can to put u.s. shale drillers
2:34 pm
out of business. but it is not working, is it? alix: it is not just about u.s. shale, it is about targeting non-opec high cost producers, like russia, brazil, and mexico, saying last week that they were going to see no production growth out of these countries next year. the u.s. will grow but not as much as expected and in that way you could say that the plan is working and doing what it should be doing. look at the take a other themes of the day, the stronger dollar never helps commodities when there is not a lot of news flow going around. matt: probably a huge part of the price action. alix: right. so, the iran deal, inching closer to having less. and there is 40 million barrels of oil floating around waiting to be sold once the sanctions are lifted. is wonder about gas prices related to oil. alix: of course you do. matt: because i drive a lot.
2:35 pm
alix: we are having very high global product stocks. we now have enough to be about 30 to 31 days for demand. the more that you have a build in product stocks, the more the refinery margins will shrink. you know what? i will not produce a lot of products, this means they use less food. it startnd of seeing to play out right now. this is an area where barclays is watching. good for you. matt: the v8, you will stick with me, stay with me now, top ukrainian policymakers are meeting with u.s. officials in washington today for the first ever u.s. ukraine business forum. heart of the agenda is obviously boosting investment in the ukrainian energy sector. joining us with more on this is
2:36 pm
the ukrainian energy minister. thank you so much for joining us . we appreciate your time. first of all, let me ask how the industry -- how the infrastructure of the industry is doing. obviously with a war going on, it seems it would be difficult to maintain infrastructure. >> in reality infrastructure has been doing fairly well. notwar is taking part endangering pipelines. the falling oil prices positive .eel -- positive for ukraine with 60 million barrels per year of oil, 20 billion cubic meters
2:37 pm
of gas, this price event is positive for ukraine. alix: minister, you have produced from the union. you obviously have suspended purchases from russia and what ?s the risk as of todayodymyr: the pumping of the gas that is coming into storage has larger storage facilities. until the beginning of the heating season we need 5 billion to 6 billion cubic meters more and our infrastructure does not allow us to get that volume into the storage. so now the key problem is funding. funding as in having the
2:38 pm
money to buy the gas or find the gas? minister volodymyr: no, funding buys the gas. today the ministry of finance has announced significant be -- wes, so we will expect an increase in production over the next few years. but for now we need to prepare with a heating season need to buy this four to 5 million cubic meters of gas for storage. therefore we are discussing with european investment banks the for theity to get money volume of gas required.
2:39 pm
matt: what is the interest in investments in ukrainian energy industries? is there a lot of international interest in that? luckily volodymyr: there seems to be, regardless of the war, a lot of interest. we have started recently massive , like thermal power generation and distribution. there are other companies that are up for sale and they seem to be attracting a lot of interest from european and american investors. we see a lot of interest from investors. you mentioned that you were looking for funding. as we know really an economic
2:40 pm
has taken a backseat -- as we know, the ukrainian economic situation has taken aback, with the eu committing to ukraine compared to 200 billion euros for greece. this makes no sense. ukraine does all the reforms, while greece has ignored similar demands for years and now openly opposes them. ukraine has four times as many as greece and is far more strategically important for europe. what do you think about that igument? minister volodymyr: feel that is right. in reality today we spent a lot of time presenting progress on reforms and today there is the prime minister of ukraine here in washington. minister with the infrastructure under the economy of finance, everybody was trying the international
2:41 pm
community that we are preventing and making hard decisions and trying to make things different in ukraine. on the other side, we expect support. yes, imf has been providing a lot of money to the ukraine. i think that apart from institutions like imf, we would ,ike to see support from other like private investors. we are therefore opening the market for privatization. this specific issue of trying to prepare for heating season is wey important, but i think will see progress in those directions. support fromal those and others, it should be fine. it does not have any specific influence on transportation from russia to europe.

[laughter] here is an important question that some people may
2:48 pm
want answered. did you have to do something special at a board level that either of your company's, because it's public, because of the fact that you are personal investors to make this corporate investment in the building happen? do not invest in other companies. of our development hasn't quite a lot through the acquisition of specific holdings. we have never invested in other companies. that has never been a part of a we do. the first we works building, we did a piece on it for an old program here called rewind. it was exciting and fun, the new building sounds even more exciting based on what you built it for. with this problems area here is that there is no place to go get a beer. there isn, manhattan just not a suitable bar for everyone's needs. in the navy yards, is there a place to get a drink after work?
