12:01 am
is prepare for something worse than we have seen before. prepare to be safe. if you're on the u.s. northeast coast, bundle up. hello and welcome to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world. i'm errol barnett. >> i'm rosemary church. thanks for joining us. we begin in greece with an historic vote and seismic shift in power. voters there have overwhelmingly chosen the anti-austerity syriza party. because this election outcome reverberates far beyond greece's border we have coverage all over the globe. we have correspondents in athens berlin madrid and abu dhabi to bring us reaction to the left wing win. >> first let's bring in our reporter from athens. i know you've been bringing regular updates. for viewers just waking up in europe now just getting out the door bring us up to speed on the election results and really the new political reality people
12:02 am
in greece are waking up to today. . >> reporter: it's a new political reality. the first time in recent history this a leftist party has come to power. syriza has won a big victory in greece in the last hours did. much better than expected. it's an anti-bailout party, a party this has said it will to what it can to fight austerity. now this is a big change in the political scene in greece. the reeves government was much more willing to go with -- with the line of dwroisgreece's creditors, the e.u. and imf. people were tired of that. five years of austerity have tired people here. they decided to vote for the syriza party. the party finally fell short of an outright majority. where we are now is syriza
12:03 am
trying to form a coalition with another party. a smaller party. and what we don't know is which way that is going to go. is it going to choose a party anti-bailout making yet a further move toward austerity, or is it going do something more moderate? that to be a centrist party and send the message to europe and predators that it's willing to negotiate on more even term? >> what kind of timeline are we looking at it i mean the results of the election make since more uncertain for the eurozone. markets don't like that kind of thing. we've seen the euro dip against the dollar to an 11-year low momentarily. how long will the new uncertainty remain? >> reporter: we could be looking for as short as hours or up to three days. this is how long the greek constitution stipulates that the leading party has three days before it can form a government.
12:04 am
so -- and we're likely to have something by the end of today. as you say, political leaders are very much aware that delays is not something that anybody likes any more not the markets, not other politicians. so i think we're likely to have a final result probably within hours. >> reporting from athens this morning. just past 10:00 a.m. thanks very much. let's go now to fred pleitgen. it is 9:00 in the morning in berlin. when was been the reaction so far to the outcome of the grocery store elections? -- greek election? >> reporter: there's been various reactions. on the one hand, of course there are those especially in angela merkel's party who call it a bad day for europe. [ inaudible ] >> looks like we have lost fred. he was saying a bad day for europe we mean attempt to reconnect with fred and get back
12:05 am
to him to get that reaction from germany. all right. first, we will -- we want to actually head to abu dhabi. we wanted to head to abu dhabi to get a breakdown on the huge financial implications. then a report from madrid how this election is being closely watched by anti-austerity parties there. all that in just under 30 minutes from now. there's another big story we're following. if you type the hash tag blizzardof2015 into the twitter, you'll see pictures like this. let's pull them up. grocery store aisles in the northeastern parts of the states picked clean of things like bread, milk and essentials. people are certainly preparing for the worst. most of the major airlines are now letting federal employeeiers change their flights for free because of the storm, what we're
12:06 am
talking about is the storm, the blizzard that's moving in the northeast of the united states. >> yeah. i mean they're saying it's dangerous. people should be prepared. we have information that united airlines canceling all flights on tuesday to five major airports in the northeast. delta airlines itself will cancel about 600 flights. all of that stars monday night. . let's get -- starts monday night. let's get more from pedram javaheri who's been watching this closely. this is a real problem. we were talking about, what, 50, possibly 0 million people. it's hard to -- 6 00 million people. it's hard to estimate. this is just monstrous. >> it will be a blockbuster storm system. it will impact so many here. the flight numbers, they're now about 1,800 flights cancel preemptively monday. 1,600 flights canceled tuesday. the models paint the picture and show why this is going to be a big dole. new york city, get up to 22 inches of snowfall in 12 to 15
12:07 am
hours across the region. notice how narrow the band is. this model drops it to nine inches around philadelphia. picks it back up to the north around boston to two feet of snowfall. again, you get over 20 21 inches you'll be putting yourself in the top three scale of largest snowstorms in new york city history. population for the metro, 19.9 million people. you know why this is going to be very dangerous when it comes to travel across the region. we were again with the flights cancel across the area if you were fortune enough to get off the -- fortunate enough to get off the ground you'd be expecting at least two-hour delays at the laguardia airport, jfk airport, newark similar delays beginning machine afternoon. continuing into tuesday afternoon. a blizzard warning has been issued for some 29 million people meaning the winds will be at least 35 miles per hour the visibility would be less than a quarter mile. and this will happen for at least three straight hours or more. so in new york city going to be in line for that. boston same for polar, maine. again, this is expected to
12:08 am
continue potentially until wednesday midnight. around midnight when the winds will die down and the snow will finally taper off. this is what we're looking at this time tomorrow night. it certainly is a big developing story in the world of weather. >> certainly is. many thanks to you. we'll check back in soon. >> thanks. all right. now we did although our fred pleitgen. we have him back on the nine berlin. fred, we were talking -- actually we have him live. fred we were talking about the reaction there in berlin to the after math of these elections in greece. talk to us about how much concern there is for the uncertainty of this -- that this create across europe. >> reporter: we've sorted out our technical defendants. therefore, we'll get from the blockbuster storm to the block buffer political storm here in europe. certainly there is a lot of concern that this could spell out a lot of trouble for the eurozone. in fact if you believe germany's largest newspaper,
12:09 am
"the billed" t "the billion," the translation is the greeks elect the political scare. a lot of politicians are coming forward from especially angela merkel's party, the christian democrats saying this is a bad day for europe. they're also telling the greeks and mr. tsipras in general that they have to stick to the contracts that they made with these european countries. they have to keep their reforms going. they're also going to have to pay back debts. all of this is something seen as very important here. one of the things that especially folk in angela merkel's party fear is that if the greeks renege on reforms they've started, if they want a debt haircut, for instance that could lead other countries in the eurozone to also cut book political reforms which, of course are painful for these countriestosh cause them to cut become on their reforms, of course the talk is of italy, of portugal as well. that's something of great concern here in germany.
12:10 am
the head of germany's central bank the bundis bank came forward saying i hope mr. tsipras did not promise something he cannot deliver. he said if the greeks want to have the continued of other eurozone countries, they are going to have to stick to reform even though those reform will be painful. there are also people on the other sides of the aisle, like the german green party upon one of the largest opposition parties in this country. maybe we have to take a haircut. maybe the grocery store have gone through so much pain at this point this it wanted to get them out of it. other eurozone country will have to take a haircut. it is a big debate. by and large if you talk to parties loyal to angela merkel the parties in government in germany, you'll find a lot of concern but also quite a hard attitude toward this new government or the one that's going to be the few government if greece. >> indeed. and germany watching that closely along with a lot of other countries across europe.

12:34 am
the euro did s down in early trading. we have all the numbers from abu dhabi. we're joined now live. john the immediate reaction in markets to the win of not positive. what specifically are investors concerned about after the victory? >> reporter: well i will say investors are listening carefully to when alexis tsipras was saying. the first word uttered during his acceptance speech was that the troika for greece is a thing of the past. basically suggesting they might be looking for an exit strategy. in a sense the euro down to 11-year low again the u.s. dollar now trying around $1.10 and change again the euro. and this could cause disaster to be very very candid and put the 15-year euro project in question. now what he wassing issing here is that -- was suggesting is that you have the european
12:35 am
union, international monetary fund tropics athe package greece has had since the crisis three years ago. but this vote and no doubt about it was against desperation. a vote against a german-led austerity program. again, really a vote against the dire situation on the employment front. a 27% unemployment youth unemployment. and the youth economy has lost over a quarter of the gdp in the last five years alone. we've never seen anything like it for an industrialized nation. we've done into emerging market status. what happens going forward with alexis tsipras? does he go to the european partners especially those in the north who have transferred foundation greece in the bailout package, and say i want debt forgiveness? if they balk about that plan maybe he has to exit the euro. that could be a very slippery slope going for. >> the greek economy is mess. if there western enough challenge for the eurozone i'm
12:36 am
wondering if you consider the election its result the move away from austerity now the biggest test yet for the european economic bloc and its members. >> reporter: there's two different camps here. of course the prime minister before this election followed basically the german model. the brussels model. the troika model suggesting let's finally clean up our books, try get our debt situation under control. get sboursz a primary surpolice -- get ourselves into a primary surplus where greece is no longer slipping behind. the economy is about to grow 1% to 1.5% in 2015. the greek view after i talked about the unemployment rate and seeing a quarter of the economy disappear over the last six years is we've had enough. the greek crisis, of course is a major bump in the road for the euro. if the greeks decide to exit from the euro going forward, this could be the car that takes the euro over the cliff. this is a 15-year project for the euro.
12:37 am
if the greeks exit, interest rates could shoot up and put pressure on the greek economy going forward. it will make it more competitive. there's a lot of pain along with the decision, as well. >> absolutely. our emerging markets editor giving us insight from a very sunny abu dhabi this afternoon. just past 12:30 there. thanks. let's get more european reaction now. al goodman joins us live from ma dread. al it is what about 9:37 in the morning in madrid. spain has been watching this election outcome very closely along with portugal and italy to see what happens next. what has been the reaction so far there? >> reporter: you're talking about the time the leader of spain's anti-austerity party. pablo iglesias of on greece thursday at the closing campaign regulary of syriza to give
12:38 am
support to the anti-greek party in spain. as results were pouring in he said the clock is ticking on a conservative prime minister. he says the sometime coming for change. now the party which means we can grew out of anti-austerity floift spain protest in spain. the noipt rate in spain is -- unemployment rate in spain is 23%. 5.5 million people out of work. this is putting wind into the sails of this new party that already according to some polls would beat the incumbent conservatives and main opposition socialists. the prime minister speaking to his people on sunday said we can't play russian roulette with the future of our children with a party like this. he says he played on words, he said no podemos, we cannot. rosemary? >> al the problem here in greece they've been making
12:39 am
these ambitious promises to the people. and the reality is there just isn't the money there to fund promises. they're either going to have to walk back or could be facing default. and spain must be conservative concerneded about -- must be concerned about that. >> reporter: when john of talking about a moment ago on the program. you're looking at a potential snowball effect. the national elections in spain are due in ten months' time. more light is being shed on elections. spain also has a debt. we were with a podemos leader top aide friday. she said no serious economist, what she's claiming think that the debts from southern europe, greece to spain and portugal, can be paid in full on the
12:40 am
current schedule. they also would like to renegotiation the debt. they're trying to get the money that they say is going to the financial powers they want that into the pockets of the people so they can breathe a little more. same issues possibly not as dire in greece. clearly the same issues in spain and across the southern front of europe. >> a lot of people watching what is happening there in greece. we'll see in the coming days, weeks, and months. reporting live from madrid many thanks. the british government is carefully reviewing security procedures after two, counsel them two hoax phone call incidents sunday. >> one call of forred to u.k. prime minister david cameron from someone pretending to be one of the government's top spy chiefs. let's bring if max foster from london with details on the fake phone calls. it has to be asked, how does a home caller get through all the
12:41 am
checks and balances and end up talking directly to the british prime minister? what security changes will loyal be made to ensure this does not happen again? >> reporter: we had the official line from downing street last night which is pretty much as you've described. some more details coming out to in the "sun" newspaper because the hoaxer involved actually ran up the "sun" newspaper between his calls to brag about it. "the sun" claims he was drunk, on cocaine. he thinks it's hilarious. the point being there's not a major sense of concern about security right now because it wasn't done by anyone who posed a threat. it was literally a joke a hoax. the fact it could happen is extraordinary. what "the sun" is saying is this this guy ran one of the three spy agencies pretending to be a downing street aide. asking for the director's mobile nmber. he received the mobile number
12:42 am
