french president franÇois hollande has been pressing for an end to the gridlock as greece goes towardsdefault. well, let's get the latest on that now. marcus is here with the business news. gridlock, that has been the situation between greece and the others. are we any closer to a deal this wednesday? marcus: this wednesday, the greek prime minister and the greek government, they have taken their bid for this, and prime minister alexis tsipras is there, holding talks with head of the european commission jean-claude juncker, and others also in the room. a 7 billion euro lifeline for greece is in the balance. without that money they will have trouble paying their debts, but differences remain with what creditors want in return. before leaving for brussels, the prime minister called on editors to be realistic. let's listen in. alexis tsipras: today, it is important for the institutions and leadership. they are negotiating the rights of the greek people for the benefit of the united europe, which today is more necessary for the people than ever before. markus: he set a deal could be days a

angela merkel, the french president francois hollande and others will meet in brussels. it is the last chance to strike a political agreement on that level. so it is really urgent. brent: we have heard these warnings of urgency before. what is really going on here? it feels like this poker game is just continuing. >> it feels like it but if you look at the facts alexis seems to be caught between a rock and a hard place. some politicians especially under angela merkel believe he is honest during the last weeks of talks that he really does want to have an agreement with the european union. he wants to keep his country in the euro. it seems like his party won't let him do that. he speaks with two tongues. expressions in brussels and a completely different language in athens. and that exasperates the eu increasingly. some say that they are losing patience. in the last day the german parliament can take the plea to take the money is this coming monday. time is, in fact, running out. brent: barbara reporting or us from brussels. thank you very much. sarah: the white house pres

french president franÇois hollande said they are getting closer to a deal. are getting closer and closer, but, still, the rhetoric continues. the asset management, investors are going to pay more attention to the possibility of the downside risks associated with a potential default. not that it was not there before. now they are like, oh, yeah. joe: there might be a hint that there is some nervousness. meanwhile, another is saying there is so much money leaving the greek banking system even now before any default, he does not see how they are going to be able to pull it off. about otherking things moving the stock market, we talked about m&a, and this came out yesterday, so kind of on the radar. california home builders, standard pacific and another group that are going to be merging, although at the end of the day, it is kind of like standard pacific buying the company, and i think it will be the fourth biggest homebuilder in the u.s., and on the conference call, the standard pacific ceo said the risk would be that we do it too late, so it is really for loo

halla: the french papers today dominated by an official visit by francois hollande to algeria. what is the significance of this get-together? emma: libercion is looking at algeria as a whole. they think this is a country on the verge of some catastrophic movement. they say hollande is meeting the president at a time when he is weakened because of the country's economy, which relies entirely on oil, and that has staggered, as they put it. inside the newspaper there is a negative tone about this one. the headline says that the algerian system of power is both repressive and robin. there is no successor, they say and he is rapidly changing his image from the status of an ironman two, they say, a strawman. of course, his failing health is something that a lot of people are talking about. many are saying that the french president is making a compassionate visit to a metaphorically sick government. he is 78 years old. you might remember he had a stroke when he was here in paris in 2013. he was reelected in april 2014, but almost in absentia, he just was not seen on the campaign trail

the current french president francois hollande says such a security breach is unacceptable. he is holding an emergency meeting today with legislators to discuss these allegations. we turn to vote 2016 and louisiana governor bobby jindal was expected to announce whether he plans to run for president today. in may, he established a committee to evaluate a presidential bid and created a website touting his possible entry into the race. he joins a dozen other candidates seeking the republican nomination. a dramatic rescue after a 10-year-old girl in kendall county texas got stuck in a creek hike. it was a countywide effort with road crews and firefighters. rescuers say the little girl stuck her feet in the water and became trapped inside the pipe. witnesses say she could barely keep her head above the water. >> she was in up to her sternum. her aunt was holding her from behind. the current was pushing her hard against the pipe. we were worried if she got loose, she would not be able to get out the other side of the eye. jummy: firefighters took turns holding their breath and goi
