he is expected to bring his new government together. then time is of the essence. creditors of october will review the situation of the bailout and reform the implementation of that bailout in exchange for a 6 billion euros, then they are going to have to look at capitalize asian of the country's banks. a 25 billion euros has been set aside for that. at the moment the ecb's going through its reviews of the greek banking system and stress tests that will be finished by the end of the year. along with that, alexis tsipras is new government says they will -- alexis tsipras's new government say they will push on new reforms and privatization. there is expecting that there is expected to be some tension with creditors. targets may be missed, they may exacerbate that tension. it will be a tight rope walk for alexis tsipras. creditors will be watching carefully to what he says.

alix: our thanks to tom mackenzie in athens. joined by thee senior fellow at the institute of international economics, in challenge for a change. you heard what tom said about what prime minister alexis tsipras has as a mandate. and won on an anti-austerity platform and now he has turned around completely. jacob: he is the most popular politician increase. it is remarkable the amount of trust the greek population has shown him. he basically has gone right to the rink -- gone right to the with the same voter support, basically. for doing everything he campaigned his heart out not to do in january as a political escape act.

was stillhe exit risk at 20% to 30%. what do you think about those odds? jacob: i think those are too high. greece, five years in at the end of the day when you get close to the exit, close to the abyss, people always turn around and do the other thing. at the end of the day it is always going to be more cost effective to let a country go. at the end of the day when you , theat the process decision, which always these to be done by the people, all of us wake up on monday morning and don't have our banks anymore, it tends to clarify their mines. -- their minds. --hink the possibilyt

ithas political stability, is going to get a sizable monetary stimulus, and it has a pretty new fiscal target for the next 12 months. and they are at the bottom. the only way is up. is the imf going to walk away from that, being the global rescue organization that quits? i don't think so. 2% to 3% next year is well within reach. 2014 beforeck in the election greece was growing. aw they are going to have more lenient fiscal target short-term and a significant monetary stimulus. scarlet: has his understanding of global economics involved in a similar way? jacob: i think it is clear his political incentives to make this deal work is very clear. he's to implement the things --

he needs to implement the things the troika want. he needs that relief relatively shortly. and for that he is going to have to pass a lot of bills through the greek parliament. i think he will be able to do this within his parliament. is does theebate greek sector have the capacity to limit these things? in the short time i think he will play ball and do what the troika wants to do. alix: thank you so much. he is senior fellow at the institute of economics. -- institute of international economics. scarlet: we are watching the markets. we will be right back.

alix: let's get straight to a look at some of the top headlines this afternoon. it has taken more than three

years to get to this point but today new zealand extradition hearing for on-chip and internets make it tycoon kim.com is officially underway. a u.n. agency said iran is making significant progress in cooperating with a nuclear deal. the atomic agency inspected a key research building and said linking to atomic weapons were found. iran's president is not ruling out a prisoner swap for a jailed reporter. cbs news was told the reporter could be freed if the was freeze and iranians the sin who is being held. beingerican reporter is tried on espionage charges. the u.s. has agreed to take and thousands of more refugees from

syria over the next two years. secretary of state john kerry made the announcement in berlin where he met with germany's foreign minister. this year the u.s. cap the number of refugees being allowed in at 70,000. secretary kerry: we are going to go up to 85,000 at least. it is not a ceiling, it is a floor. over 10,000 that in syria specifically. -- over 10,000 in syria specifically. in the next fiscal year we will target 100,000. as manyrmany may taken as one million refugees this year. will direct more than $100 million in humanitarian aid to the refugee crisis. the money will go to health care and rick and water. commitmentrings the -- the amount brings the total commitment to $4.5 billion.

displaced persons has reached 60 allion people globally create ball of that crisis is centered in syria. a recent survey told -- survey howed how recent -- governments are handling immigration. the politics of people flows, where she highlights the four key risks globally. i asked her about election risks. you mentioned public attitude toward immigration, which has been more negative. we see this playing out in the u.s. election campaign, as well as in europe. and the reason we identify political risks come out rather than market or economic risk as particularly important is because of what we call box

popular risk. pulihat we call vox po risk. are they expressing themselves through mass protest or the ballot fox? in europe, where we track closely the rise of these nonmainstream parties, anti-immigration sentiment, which is strongly correlated with euro skepticism, is rising and has been rising rapidly. and that is even in countries where we have seen growth. at is why there is the potential crisisration and refugee to be the thing that could break europe in a way that hasn't happened in either the greek crisis or russia, ukraine. >> to what do you attribute this rise in radicalism we are seeing on the left and the right in these countries? a lot of this was before the refugeenflux of the

crisis be it if it is not about growth, necessarily, why is it happening now? tina: as you remember in new occupy wall street was a flash in the pan, perhaps. it got some people out with its message. --t it did succeed in duty it doing is instilling this notion that we are the 99 -- we're the 99%. if you add this almost structural antiestablishment world,nt in a low trust which is part of what we are and that the moment, low trust is with institutions, and that includes the media and business, people are looking for alternatives. they are more willing to experiment with alternatives. in europe where we have many countries with parliamentary systems and more choice than a

-- parliamentary system then system like in the u.s., we see the rise of these options. i think it is underpriced and underappreciated. at core countries of the eurozone, germany to a certain extent, but perhaps more specifically the netherlands and austria, the creditor countries, these nonmainstream parties, which tend to be on the right, are doing well. alix: that leads you to the conclusion of what it may for a it -- it -- for a greg's for a grexi.t favored staying in the eu might change their mind because of the immigration issue. yes, this is one of the ironies of public opinion, which we do incorporate into research

and track closely. this may cause a dissonance in public opinion. people can hold two conflicting ideas at the same time. i don't like immigration, but i want to stay in the eu. even though those things may not be completely consistent with one another. >> do you see any prospect of this turning around in the near term? is there some hope that politicians and business leaders in the media will gain trust or do you see this worsening for a long time? i was having a conversation with a pollster her -- looking at the structure at this trust issue quite closely, what struck me was the growth point. most economists would say when growth returns and unemployment returns to a more manageable level, the sentiments should be road --should the

should erode. take the u.s. as an example. i think there rise of donald trump on the right, bernie anders on the left, this is little bit of what i call flatter politics. politics.rth these people are campaigning on policies they can't implement. what is interesting is their followers don't seem perturbed about their electability. they like is these leaders are espousing ideas they agree with. there has been a lot of academic to an extent on this that our ideas are reinforced, not challenged. alix: what is the end result of all of this? what gives here? tina: one of the most important

factors is going to be global growth. even a modest come of growth may be necessary but not sufficient, if growth were to worsen, save china were to have a recession, what i would expect to see is more of the fringe and more radical aspects of the nonmainstream political party to do better. was truly a fascinating conversation. for more i am joined by my cohost for what you missed, joe weisenthal -- for what you saw, joe weisenthal. joe: this refugee crisis could accelerate this whole phenomenon of radical anti-immigration right-wing parties. something that was fascinating and the greek election was on the greek island where the refugees are making their theance was a big spike in

number of supporters for the golden dawn, which many would describe as a neo-nazi party. -- gotden dawn gotten third place overall. you saw those gains were people were experiencing the refugee situation firsthand. people may be changing their stance based on the immigration crisis and how germany and france are different. we will be talking about this story with david jervis of jeffries. joe: he has a better understanding of the intersection between politics and finance then i would say just about anyone. alix: it should be a great conversation. thank so joe weisenthal. eastern.t 4 p.m. we will be hearing from jeffrey, the chief market strategist. anything you name it, we got it.

alix: a report released today say warnings keep coming that the u.s. stock market is putting in a bigger top than eight years ago. head and shoulders top pattern on the dow industrial with a rare downward slope in that line is a recent to run for cover. what does that mean? i am joined by scott roessler, a live partner at teach free -- at t treee live live. a lot end down? there

are two shaded areas. is that what the head and scott: theyok like? are showing the dow jones industrial average. it is way too early to tell whether or not we are going to get a decline like in 2007, 2008. from a fundamental perspective i don't think we are in the same environment. had the housing market, which imploded because of the interest only loans. i think fundamentally this is not the same landscape. i think we are in the same -- i think we are in a correction. we are not in the same pent-up bull market. this one may just be a look at lower. alix: i have charted the s&p versus the two day moving

average over the next year. that is pretty much the longer term trend but only in the past year. scott: you need to be careful. you need to have some cash. if you look at the chart, where he broke down in august, that was healthy. they are not just kind to be long every set. if you look at lower, you will see there is that lower you havetion, where the low of 1867, then the reflex move on the fed where they didn't raise rates. that was 2020. we are back in this range. a retread ofe out each and 67. i thinkmble opinion of the market closes higher than today. you have a lot of dynamics working.

alix: i look at the strategists who rate the s&p. everyone is higher. to your point it just like people want the market to go higher. scott: they want to get a break when the markets go down. traders are watching closely. they are going to be under water for 5%. if they wait and we] 1990. 1990 -- close back at alix: i went back 10 years. , what does a0 day technician see when you look at this chart? scott: the active trend goes up to the 200 day.

240 -- thataround was right around 2040, 2060. we found support around that 1860. if you go over here, a little bit higher, you will see where that support is. right now we are below the broken trend of the 200 day. saying issbc guy is this could be the right shoulder of the -- of that pattern. if we build the right shoulder, that support could turn into the nextaybe at some point year, if we do have deflation in china as still a problem, then maybe that 1860 gets broken, and then we could get all the way 17 three, which would be a significant move to

the downside. alix: the number one stock you look at in the morning used to be apple and netflix, what is it now? scott: it is still apple. apple last week on wednesday showed some signs of weakness before the fed didn't raise. i still think apple is a decent barometer.- a decent it could be a problem if the banks don't hold. alix: of stuff breaking down the technicals on a monday. -- good stuff breaking down the technicals on a monday. we talk about the greeks and the fed coming up.
