it is time to rethink europe. it opened with the question, will the greek people choose austerity or alexis tsipras? what will happen? >> i'm not sure that's the question. public opinion is torn at the moment. i wouldn't make any predictions at this moment, but it is definitely a very strong debate going on in greece. my only fear is that the greek people will end up divided. melinda: who is the good guy and who is the bad guy? >> it depends on who you're talking to. the bad guy is usually the finance minister. number two would be the angela merkel. it is actually what we take upon ourselves. so many years of bad administration and bad governing. it has to do with the people as well. we the people have a huge responsibility of what going on today. and we have demands. there are promises that we have two, at some point, start to figure out what it means to people. in between the east and the west, we have to decide this for ourselves. maybe this is now the time to decide. melinda: and you would agree the bad guys a

you do not like europe, we love europe. and i hope you will be able to come up with a program, finally. thank you. [applause] >> clearly, this is a lively debate. we are aware of that. i don't think it is a bad thing. we are particularly pleased to be here today, but i now call the leader of the social democratic group. >> thank you, presidential's. schultz. >> europe, without grace, is something unthinkable. as a social democrat. greece is an essential part of europe and the euro zone. without greece in the euro zone, europe would no longer be itself. and that is why we have opposed and will oppose extremist political speculations to our calling for greece to leave europe. i could quote what mr. verify varoufakis would say. or i could reply to statements that have been made by our colleague, mr. weber. but i would prefer to undermine the sobriety, the seriousness the constructive miss of the ness of the president. who has for all of these months work to find a solution. a positive solution. today is not the time for friend

europe? a prime example in the situation in greece. this process is a reminder that the union is indeed a process and a club that demands cooperation, solidarity and compromise. it is moments like what we have witnessed over this past weekend and into the early morning of yesterday that tests the mettle of the union. and i am encouraged by the fact that the parties came to an agreement for now and wish to see that the greek parliament came the necessary decisions in the upcoming days. hopefully in the future such crises can be stemmed earlier in the game and not lead to man ship involving such stakes. i just returned from latvia where i discussed these issues with foreign ministers, citizens and members of the european parliament. they clearly see the benefit office a successful european union and american presence on the continent. during the cold war, they lived on the other side you under a regime that did not allow the freedoms and prosperities they have today. in latvia, i also shared a

robert: germany is trying to say that if you want more money from europe -- europe has already given them 280 billion euros -- you need to do more things to put your economy on the right track that will reduce your deficits. in fact, the last government was making progress in this direction. it had a lot of unemployment but the fiscal problems were improving. tom: and then the finance minister resigned last night. brendan: if you want more money a lot of that money went to greece and back to french and german banks. looking at greece, is it a strategic problem or economic problem? robert: it's both. they have had generous pension plans and do a lot of things internally which are not consistent with good fiscal policy. there is a bigger political problem and that is if you do not give greece anything and it deteriorates and collapses, that is horrible for the great people and horrible for europe. if you give them too much, other governments say why should we do the kind of tough fiscal measures the europeans want us to do? he will start protesting and asking for more liberal terms. th

the lack of leadership in europe and everywhere in europe. also, the lack of political personnel in greece, as well, is a huge problem for europe today. also, in the beginning of the crisis, nobody had any idea about what to do, how to deal with this crisis. and five years down the road, we're still struggling with the basics of the crisis. the euro or not the euro. i mean, these issues should have been solved a long time ago. >> but only in greece. the other countries, spain portugal, ireland, they're quite better off now. >> is it so though? is it really so? >> it is so, of course. >> there is still very high unemployment in spain. >> but -- but -- employment traditionally comes after the turnaround of an economy. it takes half a year a year before employment picks up, after a recession like spain had. that's how it goes so -- >> but this is a lost generation even is saying. it's 25% of young people in spain. in greece, you've got 50% of young people unemployed. how can this possibly be turned around in a couple of years? >> well, i think i

we decide to live with dignity in europe, and to progress and prosper to the fairly in europe. believe me, nobody has a right to threaten that they will cut greece from its physiological geographical area, because no one has to right to threaten without dividing europe, greece, our motherland, east, west and will be the cradle of the political, the european civilization. from this place mythology arose from this place the technocrats of austerity we say no to them on sunday, those technocrats of europe. we won't allow those to take it -- we don't want to take europe democratic values democracy from solidarity mutual respect. men, women of all generations who today, we are flooded the square of constitution. you have flooded inundated the roads, ignoring the crescendo of all the scare mongering of these days the crescendo of citizens of athens. citizens of athens, greek people, greek people has in its history for many times it has proven that it now announced to return the ultimatum. they are being sent back the ultimatums. the most pride is pages of the history of this country

and europe that tends to favor europe as well. >> i want to ask you very quickly on the uk. we've heard the dollar strength is hurting, it's a benefit for a lot of the european corporates. what about sterling? we've seen sterling looking pretty good here too. they also have that exposure. >> for the ftse 100, you have pretty much 40% of ftse 100 companies paying dividends in dollars. >> exactly. >> there's an immediate currency negative effect there. the ftse 100 is also heavily weighted towards commodities which we've been negative about all year. that story is continuing to unfold. the ftse 250 is a much more attractive part of the market. we think it's relatively more domestic. it has higher growth less of the commodity exposure. although it's not so cheap, we think that it's still a much better place to be within the overall uk stock market context. the uk economy is relatively robust. >> peter, always a pleasure having you on the show. peter oppenheimer, chief global equity strategist at goldman sachs. >>> we show you the video before. uber cars were attacked and pelted

it would have put europe in the hole. alan: what if we guarantee the banks -- what if merkel said, you take the hit eubanks, and we will tell the financial markets that we will support the banks? the way obama did? ursula: do you remember the situation in 2010? i don't believe that would have worked. greece had its haircut a few years later. in terms of investing in greece, trusting greece as a place to invest and bring your money to it happened. the main mistake has been made in 2010. i think it is a better situation. no one knew what would have happened if they had made this kind of haircut you recommend. melinda: that was then and now is now. ursula: if you look at the world economy, we have a comparable situation. china on the brink of recession. we are in a time where the economy is comparable. melinda: let's come back to that later. let's stay with the question posed by our title this week of whether merkel is to blame for the current impasse. if we look at the present, is that the case? she is horribly alone in dem

we belong in europe. we need europe and europe needs us. >> all for one and one for all. the words in childish paint strokes at, at polling station. on this day, greece finds itself divided and alone. jonah hull al jazeera, athens. >> let us bring in the analyst with open europe joining me in the studio. we have just seen on the screens of one of the greek t.v. stations out with 52% saying no to the terms of the deal. 48% yes. of course, that is just a telephone exit poll. it doesn't give us very much except perhaps to say it's going to be pretty close whichever way it goes. >> i know. and whatever the result is the bottom line is there is no good option for the greek people because even if it is a yes and they, thereby, continue to have those talks with creditors, the fundamental problem is that greek debt is unsustainable. so any kind of deal going forward can only be an extend ant. it won't be long until greece is in the situation where it's been where creditors and the greek government is at odds about what to do again. >> let us assume that it is going to go the way

>> it would be better for us if it did and better for europe if it did. >> better for us and europe? >> yes. >> for everyone? >> absolutely, better for everyone. >> so let's just talk about dealing with this greek problem for a second. >> because some say to deal with the problem in you listen to the greek prime minister he came in on a mandate of no austerity. and yet, in this agreement, there is austerity. do you see any debt relief in this agreement? because some will say, and you're the economist here if greece is going to get back on its feet, it's not just austerity. it's austerity with debt relief so it can begin to grow again. can you talk a little bit about that? >> yeah. it mean there's no doubt you need a combination of the two. you need some degree of fiscal rectitude because greece is a country that historically has run very large and persistent government deficits. but given where the debt is now, you clearly also need debt relief. and i actually do believe there is very credible prospects for debt relief included in this agreement. because what it does is that it basic

that's how we see europe. reporter: if one were to tell you it's not easy bilal kamara: i wouldn't believe them. because africa is difficult. i can't compare africa suffering and europe. i know that whenever happens in europe, it happens in africa. reporter: the next day we want to film footage of a truck pulling out towards the sahara. goods from algeria are being offloaded. on the return trip, the driver will be carrying human beings. young men from a variety of countries are waiting to get on board. no one is willing to speak with us. they are probably afraid we might hinder their chances of reaching europe. we resort to a hidden camera. we meet bilal again and he tells us of a surprising turn of events. he's decided to return home to sierra leone. this his second trip to gao. two months ago he tried to reach italy but he was beaten by criminals in the desert. in libya, he paid 500 euros for a place on a boat. but the smugglers disappeared with all his money. then came news of the hundreds of refugees who'd

europe. robert: not rest of europe at all. the greek economy would have gone into a major economic meltdown. because anybody, greek who had euro liabilities, a new dratch ma -- drachma and the i.m.f. was right that the drachma if it had come back would be devalued by 60% or 70% against the euro and would have meant the greek banks and greek companies, greek individuals -- guy: so talking about this earlier. -- talking about the banking system is potentially instability. robert: you have three stress points on greece. number one the banking system which is absolutely credit tal. the fact the banks are closed, is jamming up the economy at the moment. and absolutely critical that we get the greek banking system reopened. and that's why this bridging finance and why the e.c.b. decision today on e.l.a. is so critical. and more money needs to be put into the liquidity and needs to be put into the greek banks. anna: bob, what chances would -- for grexit last week and what chance this week? robert: i

does europe not need to react to this somehow? could we not see a softening of the european position? >> i certainly hope this is the case. i certainly hope that this message is taken abroad. i do worry, however, that this will vote will play into the hands of the hard liners in europe. the ones that would like to see greece exiting the euro and the ones that like a euro zone without greece because they think it's more manageable. so even though i, you know -- we're all hoping that this will the softening of terms, it's not emanating from capitals at the moment. >> martin schultz said that greece can't be abandoned to its fate. interesting comments from the german finance minister suggesting that perhaps there might be some room to maneuver on germany's part as well. >> well, obviously what we're looking at here is not some kind of humanitarian jes tu of europe. we're looking for a viable solution, which includes substantial new financing. that's the deal mr. tsipras needs to come back with. he said that unfortunately he can cut a

in this europe, there is room for solidarity, solidarity is everywhere in europe. there is also responsibility, this balance between responsibility and sol dater solidarity must be the lightning rod of our behavior today and tomorrow. >> al jazeera, jacky rowland has been following those talks in paris and sent us this update. >> the focus very much is on two key meetings that will take place in brussels on tuesday. first a meeting of finance ministers of the euro zone and then afterwards a meeting of leaders of the euro zone countries. they will be look to greece to come forward with new proposals for how to resolve this crisis. they've said that there is still a channel of communication open but those proposals must indicate that greece is serious about remaining within the euro. clear language that they are not willing to write a blank check and that the greek proposals would have to be within certain parameters. also indications that despite all the tough talk of the previous days, europe is not going to abandon greece and the greek people to their fate. the ge

that europe could possibly accept. since that became clear the only plausible solution was a regime change essentially. a change of government in athens and i think this referendum makes it inevitable. i literally mean inevitable. it makes it very likely by next week if tsipras loses the referendum and the vote goes yes. but even if the vote goes no i don't see how he can stay in power for more than a few weeks because the chaos unleashed in greece will make the current situation look like switzerland on a good day. he's not going to be in power in a months time. >> how do you rate how he's played things? it sounds like you're saying this is bad for his political future but good for greece's future. >> he made one mistake by the other. the mistakes were made by his finance minister that had the game theory idea that if he pushed the other side to the brink they would surrender first which was never at all plausible because the cards that greek had were very weak and everybody understood that. they refused to make the r

and this is why we talked about united europe and that is not a devoted europe. at this time we are told establishment to produce a lot of fear compromise which will avoid a great amount of negotiations and this is line with the traditions of european and all of us have taken the measures of the situation and i believe together we can rise to the challenge.

[applause] >> translator: i think that they showed their -- they stood up and were counted. this was a voice of democracy. and we have to listen to what they said. as i was saying. this was a courageous choice by the greek people. and this is not a decision of breaking off negotiations with europe, it's one of going back, it's a turn to the informing principles the founding principles of european unification. at the start of democracy and of solidarity, going back to mutual respects and going back to equality. it is crystal clear message. in surviving under the challenges circumstances. these ongoing negotiations between the greek government and its partners arrange to reconfirm the dual forms of respect in europe, both for the grand rules of the european union, and also full respect for the democratic choice of our peoples. my government, i myself personally and our government came.
