　　Hello, I’m Sue Montgomery with the BBC news.

　　Greece has become the first advanced economy ever to go into arrears with the InternationalMonetary Fund. It’s failed to pay back 1.6 billion Euros to the IMF and its international bailoutagreement has also expired. From Brussels, Chris Morris.

　　“This is not how international diplomacy or finance is supposed to be conducted. A series oflast minute proposals are in an atmosphere of mountain chaos. At the end of a topsy-turvyday, another Greek request for an extension to its current bailout has been rejected. Butthere will be more exploratory talks on whether a third bailout is an achievable aim. Withoutone, Greece is in dire straits, cut off from all international financing, and skating ondangerously thin ice. If it can’t repay a debt to the European Central Bank on July 20 that wouldprobably be the end. It’s already failed to pay the IMF on schedule and it’s running out ofoptions to keep it in the Euro zone.”

　　The Greek Economy Minister George Stathakis says the government will continue to look forsolutions to the Greek problem despite its latest bailout request being rejected. He told theBBC that he thought the solution was sure be found that kept Greece within the EU. “I amquite relaxed because I think that what most of the time we are talking about make sense. It’srational, it’s compromising solutions. And I think that whatever else is highly dangerous, and Idon’t think that anybody would try to follow the very dangers, but which is a huge cost for theGreek society and the European economy.”

It involves getting 20% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020 and ensuringits emissions of carbon dioxide peak by 2030 at the latest and increasing its forests.
