michelle, is it looking good as we head toward the deadline?> reporter: it is looking good in terms of securing the deal. the numbers that have been reported by the wire services suggest that a deal will get done not necessarily high enough to avoid triggering the credit default swaps, but we're not done yet. like you said, the deal expires, the offer expires at 3:00 p.m. eastern time. then, when you look at the timeline of events, they suggest that in fact maybe things are going well because we now know that they're going to announce results 1:00 a.m. new york, 8:00 a.m. athens time. and then tomorrow 3:00 p.m. athens time, 8:00 a.m. new york time, there's going to be a conference call with the euro group finance ministers where we presume they will make a decision about whether or not they're going to trigger the credit default swaps. one piece of news out in the last hour, the ministry of finance, the public workers there, their pension fund has refused to go along with the debt deal. they will not tender even though it's the ministry of fin

>> hi, michelle. the saudis have made some pretty stunning moves.etly, they've increased their daily output to 10 million barrels a day, more than they've pumped in the last 30 years. in the last week, they've contracted 11 vlccs. those are supertankers. in order to fill with 22 million barrels of oil. they're going to send that to the gulf coast of the united states. i don't know what they're going to do there because we're a net exporter of gasoline. they've been storing oil very quietly in rotterdam and elsewhere in europe, trying to plan for a supply problem. and finally, they're going into some very old oil fields and trying to revitalize them, some of which, again, they haven't touched in 30 years. and all of this points to a deluge of crude that they're going to put on this marketplace in order to try and bring prices down. unfortunately, i kind of see it the opposite way. and to me, what it is, it's the saudis trying to plan for something that they feel is inevitable, and that is, real supply shocks that are going to be coming in the next co
