jacky rowland al jazeera brussels. >> let's get the news from greece now, simon mcgregor wood is live for us in athens. how difficult is it simon for the prime minister alexis tsipras to get this through parliament? >> it's certainly going to be a challenge. he's not been back in athens for very long but forced into a series of difficult meetings this evening with his junior coalition partner the right wing independent greeks, they've come out load led by the finance mirchts, saying they can't support the deal as it stands. that's 13 seats in parliament. he's got a rising rebellion among his syriza party couple dozen of that party will probably vote against or abstain. it is manageable because the opposition parties in the main are going to vote with him. so i think mathematics are still very much in his favor. but it's a difficult one in the medium term maryam because he may lose the majority from his governing coalition and there's increasingincreaseing speculation that he may perhaps go for a government of national unity better equipped to push through these reforms beyond wednesda
