This is where it is is -- gets interest thing you know well well in front of the -- kind of drama.
It will be the Germans are insisting there is no time of -- authority.
At the moment you've got German taxpayers paying Greek pensions but situation called continue -- Greece is gonna get its stand on its own feet when it comes to financing itself on its services.
About what this -- is baffle.
