surprised of what was happening today in austria. they hosted a conference on the refugee crisis without inviting greece and also some other key member states in the european union. an unfriendly act and a migration minister also said that this is something like a coup d'etat. it can be that european leaders agree on a common policy for tackling and solving the refugee crisis. in just a few days after that, some ministers decided that this agreement is not valid anymore. brent: is greece, tonight, on its own?
