to reach agreement on. armen: if you take the figure of 1500 as i mentioned, that is really not going very far to meet the challenge at a european level when you consider that this year that has in a 20-fold increase in migrants trying to cross the mediterranean. now we have several months ahead of us of warmer weather, so a sea that is not too dangerous until early october, really. i think europe has two big problems. first, libya where chaos has given unrivaled opportunities to human smugglers for stop it is no quiz it is that the worst mass drownings have occurred this year off the libyan coast. second, the issue of asylum-seekers is toxic in european politics. that is what european countries are driving such a hard bargain over the system proposed by the european system. some countries are saying we have already taken in a lot of migrants and the quota system to take that into account, not just obvious factors like the size and population of the host country. molly: all right, armen

in the palestinian unity government will resign later today according to president mahmoud abbas, however hamas rejects any lunar aderholt -- rejects any unilateral move. i'm joined in the newsroom by stephen carroll. you will start off with greece. stephen: warnings from the country's central bank, if they cannot reach an agreement over economic reforms, the consequences will be drastic. no deal will likely lead to a greek default, the country's exit from the eurozone, and likely the eurozone as well. this is over its latest debt crisis. international lenders talking for months now trying to secure the last 7 billion euros of its bailout loans. eurozone finance ministers only tomorrow to discuss the progress in those negotiations or lack thereof, but on that note at least the bank agrees it is somewhat optimistic thing there

is only a little gap left between the two sides. but seattle with this impacting the markets -- let's see how that is impacting the markets. down is lunch time obviously worried about what is going to happen with greek. down .75%. one company bucking the trend is up over 1% in paris after the results. next to the paris air show airbus and boeing continues to heat up. boeing still in the lead at the end of day two at the end of tuesday, compared to just over 16 billion for airbus. that was likely due to the aircraft leasing company for 100 737's. more deals being announced today, but boeing still looks to be in the lead.

the paris air show is not just about the manufacturers of course but also the thousands of companies that supply them with parts and technology. 3-d printing is playing a larger role in billing aircraft. airbus revealed the more than 1000 parts of its a-350 had been used using a 3-d printer. i spoke with -- about the advantages of manufacturing for companies like airbus. >> the benefits is the wait compared to the cause, compared to the value of the part. you can build layer by layer, sunset of building a lot of material, you can build the inside with the structure, which is going to make it much lighter. so the benefit for the manufacturer will be the low conception of fuel. stephen: let's stay in france for our next story. a much loved brands disappear seven years ago but is making a comeback. it was a mail-order business

that originally opened for teachers and their families to supply them with cheap goods. it lasted 61 years but closed back in 2008. now the firm has come back from bankruptcy with a new owner and an online focus. nick has the story. >> i remember when i came in 2009, it was all like this. reporter: shades order by catalog just the year before. the company had become too large to survive the financial crisis. >> it was created in 1947 for teachers to resupply. it was quality furniture historically but textiles, for es gras, and wine, i do not think it is the best. reporter: the owner did away with the old catalog system, keeping the firm exclusively online and hiring former staff. >> it is a different business to

start up when thumbing is always happening. i knew it was right for me, and i wanted to be involved. reporter: however, a company is more than just a staff and he set up ties with camif's former suppliers, this time on production. >> about 80% of the old suppliers have taken us back. it does not happen from one day to the next. we had the first meeting with 300 people who had lost their money, it was not easy explaining i was starting up camif again. reporter: jacquillat's bet seems to have worked. he has found favor not just with suppliers the many of camif's old customers too offering a 7% discount for life. stephen: finally for me, amazon looking at a new way to deliver products to customers.

according to the "wall street journal," amazon is considering paying ordinary people to deliver packages. the project is being internally called "on my way," and wood used local -- and would use local retail is to store packages. people can drop them off as they go about their daily business. the idea may not get off the ground, but it is in addition to amazon for the increased of cost of deliveries, that went up 31%. would you do amazon delivery? molly: i am not sure. on my way. not there yet, i will get there. stephen, thank you for the look at today's top business stories. it is time for a look now at today's press review. i'm joined in the studio by florence villeminot. what are we starting off with, flo? florence: egypt, somalia, upholding a death sentence for

ousted president mohamed morsi. it is interesting to see how egyptian papers are reacting to the story. "al akbar" supports the death sentence for the "traitor president." the paper's great critical of those bringing up the issue of bill of rights. he says those people are defending criminals, terrorists and not take into consideration the rights of egyptians. another paper, this one is a saudi paper, which is more critical and warned education authorities that it is only going to -- warned ejection authorities that it is only going to fan the flames and will increase egypts -- warned egyptian authorities that it is only going to fan the flames and will increase egypt's problems.

molly: let's go to the issue of race. florence: rachel dolezal, you can read about in the "new york times," she appeared on national television for the first time that she has become part of the debate on racial identity. what is interesting is she cannot really claim a hint of black ancestry, yet she keeps on saying, as you can see in this quote here, "i identify as black ," and that is what a lot of people see as a problem. over the course of the day, she also referred to herself as "transracial," and this term has drawn criticism. "the daily beast" today is critical of this, talking that are damaging transracial game, not only to appropriate blackness but also the rhetoric of transgender identity. what is more troubling to the "daily beast" is that she is getting away with it. she is initiated yet again a

national debate about the meaning of racial identity. molly: searchingly it is very -- certainly it is very interesting. let's stay stateside. presidential. florence: and then there were 12. donald trump announcing he wants to run for president. what a spectacular speech he made yesterday at trump tower. you can read about it here also in "the daily beast" with memorable quotes, this one getting attention, "i am rich," so it was a festival of narcissism, that is what an article in the "washington post" said his announcement was a bragfest. the journal actually read the transcript, he uttered "i" 28 times, "me" 22 times, etc., 227 self references.

another funny detail that is getting some attention is the fact that the entrance music that he chose 21 on stage yesterday. it was actually a neil young song his anthem "rockin' in the free world," and 1% of said about this -- that is neil young himself. what is interesting is the song, which dates 1989, is critical of the rich and how they do not care about the poor. neil young issued a statement saying "donald trump's use of the song is not approved," and he is a longtime supporter of bernie sanders who wants to run on the democratic ticket. molly: here in france, flo it is exam date. florence: that is right baccalaureate kicking off today. the subject of philosophy. each year when the baccalaureate rolls around, the same question pops up in the press, and you can see it here -- what if we got rid of the baccalaureate?

so france's end of year exam. a lot of people want to get rid of it, it is very expensive, and people question how useful it is. this question has been around for over 100 years. according to a poll, a lot of people think the changes necessary. 60% of people in the poll today are in favor of a year-long assessment, not just one stressful exam at the end of the year. 48% of people are in favor of making the test harder. they say it is actually too easy these days to get your baccalaureate. molly: certainly a stressful time. i do not miss taking exams. i have to be honest. corsica in the spotlight. tell us why. florence: this story is getting a lot of attention in france today, a little town in corsica, the end of the or school celebration has been canceled. you can read about it here. why is that?

the school actually received threats from parents of students who were really upset by a plan to get the students to sing "imagine," the very famous song by john lennon. why would they get upset about "imagine"? it is not a particularly offensive song. well, they wanted to get them to sing it in five lingwood does, including arabic. the school responding saying obviously those parents are not spent enough time in school. let's end on a lighter note in school. the first official french fry school is going to open its doors of course near belgium in a town called -- the article quotes the school of the director, it says?çqoq
