Taking up jobs that cant be filled by locals. European leaders say sunday is the final deadline for greece to secure a deal over its debt and save the economy from collapse. The European Central bank said it has stretched its rules as far as they can, and will cut off greece as soon as it can. Greeces Prime Minister told the parliament in strasburg that all they are asking for is a fair deal. We demand an agreement with our neighbours, but one which gives us a sign that they are exiting from the crisis, which will demonstrate to us that there is light at the end of the tunnel. An agreement that will bring about the credible and necessary reforms that is clearly necessary, but we have to recognise that over the past 5. 5 years, reforms have been put into place which have been which have been on what pensions can take what employers can put up with can stand, and ordinary citizens lets get analysis from al jazeeras dominik kane who is outside the European Party in strasburg, and John Psaropoulos in athens. An impassioned debate in the European Parliament right now. Members of the parliament heard from Alexis Tsipras within the last hour and heard him describe the effect of some of the bail out conditions on the country, and he felt that greece had been turned into an austerity laboratory, and a serious resolution had to be found. We heard from the other e. U. President , mr they said it was a race against time and there was a deadline coming on sunday. Mr Alexis Tsipras said yes, he had to accept some blame for the measures that he leads, and he has been responsible for the taking of 5. 5 months. Other governments had responsibility for the mess that greece finds itself in over 5. 5 years. Its important to say there wasnt the necessary level of concrete proposals, that they have been asking for. Beseeching them to come out with, the sense from the German Government and the french government and others that now is the last chance for greece to make concrete proposals. The media in france and germany have been saying that a french paper talked about a game being played comparing him to a fireman knocking down his house, and not being bothered about it. The media and the establishment in france and germany is beginning to consider as they said that grexit may well happens. Lets go to athens. John psaropoulos is there. What will the people in greece have made of what Alexis Tsipras is saying . Well look we have had a lot of ups and downs. We had the greek government declare the referendum. There has been a no to further austerity. Now we have gone back to talks. What will they be based on. Alexis tsipras went without specific proposals we are told yesterday, but therell be specific proposals on thursday. Today there is another euro group teleconference to discuss what the status is or the progress is. There has been a roadmap that has been discussed by Alexis Tsipras and the leaders of the eurozone. I wonder what will be thought of between tuesday and thought of. I think the basis of the proposals has got to be the previous plan. Theres precious little in the speech, to suggest that he is about to burst forth with a slew of ideas, that crossed the lines held up until now, by either side. For example, is he proposing to cut any of the state expenses that he wants them to cut. 55 . Budget. The two biggest expenses. Theres no sign of that. He harped on about the past failures, and the fact that his predecessors the other parties that held power, colluded with oligarchs and bankers to corrupt greek politics but didnt say much about whether he can break that and he didnt bring forth any proposals to legislate against corruption. He said we await creditors proposals. On the whole, it doesnt sound hopeful that mr Alexis Tsipras is heading forth and breaking new ground to conclude an agreement with creditors to change politics at home in greece or lift them out of the doldrums.

Says 75 were victims. 56 soldiers and five civilians died. 89,000 gaza homes were damaged and it will cost up to 6 billion to rebuild over the next 20 years. The war was just. Reporter the war which lasted 50 days in the summer of last year was costly in terms of human life and economic impact. More than 70 israelis died and more than 2,300 residents of gaza were killed. The structural damage in gaza is estimated at 8 billion and israel says the provision cost it 2. 5 million. A year on the Israeli Government says that the war was justified and successful. Hamas suffered the hardest blow since the day it was established. We follow events in the south of the israel and respond with full force when required to do so. Others though are not convinced that all of the ambitions for the war were successfully achieved.

Victims had been forgotten. Israel says it had two main goals for what it called operation protective edge. First was to stop the rockets fired into israel by armed groups in gaza the second aim was to destroy the network of tunnels. The doctor is a retired israeli colonel, now a military analyst, and believes the aims were largely achieved, but at the expense of damaging headlines and international criticism. It did cause damage. We dont take this image that it is trying to take innocent civilians, tens of thousands of civilians have lost their homes, and have to find a solution during the cold winter. And now its revealed it is a major problem, we dont like it or want it. There are signs of optimism using outside intermediaries. Israel and hamas are negotiating for a ceasefire. There is mistrust on both sides, 12 months after the Israeli Forces withdrew perhaps its too soon for objective assessment of the longterm impact of the war. Lets get a view from our guest from stockholm, chairman of european jews. You were part of a flotilla turned away again in june. What was the point of that. What did you achieve . For the first i will correct you, we were not turned away. We were attacked on international water, 170km from sure. But we were kidnapped into israel. We were imprisoned and sent out of the country. The purpose of our continues flotilla is to break the siege of gaza. To point to the world, and gaza is the port of palestine to the world. They had no right to prevent people of palestine of free movement. They are entitled to the same right and obligation of people of israel or other people. We have been attacked as i said imprisoned and we have kind of experienced the same crimes that israeli is doing every day. You grew up in israel. You served as a paratrooper, and you said as far as the flotilla is concerned, doing it as much for the people of israel and gaza. Already 1970, when i was sent to gaza i refused to operate in territories, because the israeli army and no other should work among the civilians, armies are unfortunately has to fight other armies and not civilians. Israeli policies are leading israel and the israeli people into an abbees and worse abyss, and wars and hate. I would like to help the people find reconciliation and peace. It is the only way to avoid a blood bath. I was weeks ago in south africa and there we can to the transition process was achieved because the people were ready to speak to each other, and to try to work for a just solution.

Nowadays, with all this information going on and so we were the signals were positive, and this greek story could, first of all, impact our confidence, which is bat. Since the start of the crisis the eurozone tried to limit the contagens. Many of the smaller parties felt embonded by the action and emboldened by the action and now is saying italy should hold its own referendum on the euro.

Spain has the secondhighest employment, and suffered painful cuts in public spending. Here, an antiausterity party saw its support sky rocket in the polls, and empathy for the greeks is high.

They were internally displaced by decades of war, and would like to thank the pope for effort in the conflict. We need peace and an end to the violence the pope spoke out against war and violence thats ravaging not just parts of latin america, but the world. In a clear illusion to i. S. I. L. It has executed scores of christians. While in the world, especially in some countries, various forms of war and conflict reappear.
