conditionality for two reasons so please very local electorates and also to make sure that this money can eventually be repaid by a more sustainable bridge that they have set some very rough conditions that great politicians find very hard to stomach. and there are also other issues in the sense that. you can't really pass anything and everything will. they have at the beginning of this whole process to make an example of greece so others don't go down the same road and if they don't disperse the money quickly which they haven't done it increases their leverage of the great politicians of the good government to pass the kind of measures they want. your washing r c r so plenty more to come for you dashing through the snow to take a look at how russia's president dmitry medvedev shows his killing skills in sochi . also progress in the sun bounce find out how a dog from ukraine has become something of a legend just
