this as an emergency summit gets under way in brussels today. there's two, pressing issues to be resolved here. one, the terms of a second bailout package for greece and also a way to keep the crisis contained to prevent it from spilling over to larger e.u. economies, such as spain and italy. there has been a hint of progress overnight. france and germany have reached an agreement on how to deal with greece. the details of the plan are sketchy so far. but nichololas sarkozy and ange merkel will be presenting it to the e.u. today. jim, it looks like we've made headway when it comes to greece. but the deals of this proposal are complicated. tell us about them. >> i wish i could tell you what the grand agreement was that was reached in berlin last night. we don't really know. but there's a number of ways that europe has been looking at to solve the greece problem. they need a second bailout plan. but how do they involve bondholders of the original plan? how do they involve banks? will they tax money in europe. lowering the greece interest rate, as

reporting for us from brussels. now calling economic head down this path young says the bailout is little more than hype than when stop the domino effect from the debt crisis. more money has been thrown at the greek economy in the hope that that can stop the contagion but really a lot of it just looks like hype and i'm very very concerned that we haven't actually find a cure we've just got another sticking plaster what really the european union are trying to do here is they're trying to staunch the blood that's flowing the money that's flowing out of the greek economy the can has been kicked down the road the danger of contagion still leaking to other countries such as ireland portugal even italy and spain are there and therefore we don't have a cure what we've seen so far unfortunately looks like hollow words unholy words do not inspire confidence in markets and that has got to be some degree of a problem for the euro in the longer term. cassava sounds of the gloom of the deal or forty thousand time as is the failu
