. >> simon mcgregor wood is in the greek capital athens for us and sent us this update. >> the mood is a pretty gloomy one in athens. a sense of betrayal. eight days ago there was a sense of great jubilation. they thought in this referendum that would give their government a democratic mandate to secure a better deal from europe. it's not case. they got a worse deal. the politics gets extremely complicated for prime minister tsipras. he is meeting with members of his coalition government, on tuesday he has overy difficult meeting from members of the syriza party, there are people from the left-hand extreme of that party already threatening to walk out. he probably has the numbers he needs with the help of the opposition parties to get these laws through parliament on wednesday. if he doesn't do that, the whole deal is off the table. but it's an absolutely critical moment for him. he's got a deal but he's entering a domestic political mine field and it's by no means clear he's going to get through it in one piece. >> as later self-imposed deadline for iran nuclear deal draws close indic

simon mcgregor-wood has more on the developments. >> reporter: with this announcement it's sweetening bitter pill for mr. tsipras who pushed through this deeply contentious package of laws last night at great political cost to himself. it is a little bit of relief a little bit of reward from the european creditors, if you would like, to allow a little bit more money into the system. we are even hearing rumors that some banks may reopen as soon as monday. so it's a little bit of breathing space. we're by no means out of the woods yet. one of the things he did say that was encouraging for the greeks as well i think, was he spoke very confidently about the greek government paying back a $3.3 billion interest payment on a european central bank loan which falls due on monday. in that would suggest, the experts say, that this bridging finance of about 7 billion euros that the greeks desperately need in the next few days is pretty much going to be confirmed probably tomorrow. so, again, the connection that mr. tsipras can make to a very skeptical greek public we take these difficult situatio

simon mcgregor-wood has more. >> reporter: the greek prime minister the hard part of implementing thiss now begin. in the greek newspapers deal has given greece a bloody nose. the ruling party was elected to reject austerity, but on wednesday their mp's will be asked to support more of it. the most immediate challenge looks achievable getting these laws through parliament by wednesday night. with his own party he has a bigger problem leftest factions within it are now in open revolt, and the fact that he made such a comprehensive u-turn will damage his credibility. outside parliament loyalists repeat mr. tsipras's line that this is the least bad option. >> translator: i repeat that what is important today is that the government gives an answer to the coup. >> reporter: economically things have never been worse. businesses close every day. this brother and sister running their furniture business are clinging on but customer confidence has disappeared. >> now they are afraid to spend some money to -- to purchase a new chair or a new desk. or even starting a business to take some furnitur

. >> simon mcgregor woods two pieces of good news, how are people reacting. >> well, i think it is verycertainly embattled greek prime minister, i think it is important for him to make a connection between pushing through all these painful legislative changes which he successfully did on wednesday night and this motion, that if the government continues to do the bidding rewards will follow, and they have done today, and i think another important issue for him is the connection that he made with the possibility of debt relief, remember the i.m.f. report suggesting that the greeks aren't going to get out of the hole unless their debts are restructured. he repeated that, that will be very welcome but it is the business of trying to do away with the daily cueing up at the bank. i think will plea mr. cypress. the extra liquidity dripping into is system, which is announced today rumors are not confirmed that some greek banks will probably open their doors on monday, and that the cop toll controls to make sure that people don't pull their deposits out immediately, will stay six city euro as da

simon mcgregor wood is live in athens. how big of a task does tsipr as have to get this through? >> well, it's absolutely crush. the big issue for him is that he has absolutely no flexibility at all. the deal is on the table only for as long as he's able to deliver this legislation by midnight wednesday guaranteeing the prior actions the increase of the tax and moving forward of various other key legislative issues that have been imposed upon him. he has to deliver those votes or the whole deal is taken over the table. the immediate political challenge for him is to try to sit down this evening. we understand with the defense minister who is the leader of the union coalition party the greeks, a right wing party for him. he is in coalition to try to keep him on side. and then tomorrow to have the slightly more difficult task within his own ranks where we know that there are at least two dozen people who may not vote with him. the technical delivery of the vote wednesday he's probably okay because the opposition parties so far are signaling that they'll vote with him. but in the me

let's go to the greek capital now, simon mcgregor-wood joins me life. watched in athens but signed of possible al at this returning withnormalities returning with the openings of banks on monday >> reporter: yes. greeks grasping good news whenever they can find it and the central bank agreeing to put cash in the banking system will provide a bit of respite. the banks we understand will reopen on monday and the capital controls are going to slightly relax instead of being able to pull out just 60 euros a day if you go back only other every day, pull out 120 euros. big deal. but still something for alexis tsipras to grass top and sale to a very skeptical public. for him the politics of this business continue. a reshuffle his government to try to deal with at least the five government ministers from his own party who voted against these measures on wins night in the parliament, we were expect something movement on that yesterday. today is friday, he may act on that. because the difficult decisions in parliament keep coming for him, jane, on the 22nd of jul

but as simon mcgregor-wood reports from agents ends many greeks are opposed to this. >> reporter: hee convinced some of his european creditors but selling seeling it to the greek parliament was a tougher challenge. after all to many of his own party members this deal looks like something they have already rejected. it was some u-turn. and he admitted none of this was going to be easy. >> translator: despite the closed banks despite the huge difficulties is that have woven their way in the social fabric, the greek people made a difficult, brave and historic decision. which surprised most of us, they rejected the ultimatum. they didn't give us a mandate to break with the e you feel. instead boosted our mandate in the negotiating process for an economically viable deal. >> reporter: outside many thousands of greeks who had hart voted no to more austerity gathered yet again with a sense of betrayal and anger. >> pensions are going to be reduced radically, they have already been cut when the state doesn't have anymore money they'll cut pensions even further. >> translator: what's happened

they have agreed to give greece a short-term loan to pay its business simon mcgregor-wood has more from >> reporter: i think mr. tsipras and the greek people will accept good news wherever they can find it. the comment today indicating that the european central bank will be allowed to -- or willing to drip feed more ca, in to cash in to the banking system will be a bit of good news. they are suggest you but it's not finally confirmed that the banks may reopen as soon as monday, they have been shut for three weeks, i think capital controls the amount of people that people can take out the kind businesses and transactions that people can do will be here for sometime yet. but given how unpopular the laws were his political outlook is extremely complicated. up to 40p. ms refuse today support the mesh us, he has a rebellion on his hands. we were expecting thursday he would conduct a reshove toll strengthen his government. that hasn't happened. it will happen in the next few days for sure. in the medium to longer term i think the political instability here remains very much a factor. his own
