He says the war footing is unusual despite years of tit for tat attacks. We have had this before. We had occasional exchange of fires. In my recollection, however, the north Korean Leader raising the level of alertness for the military up to this, right next to the war declaration level is unusual to me. So, indeed, exchange has been there, they have been there before. But this kind of stated level of alert itself is quiete quite un. Some people say we should offer reconciliation, not backing down on the military side of t i dont know whether that kind of solution would be realistic or not.

They will form their own movement. Theres been dissent since the leader accepted a Bailout Program with eu creditors. The split comes just hours after he resigned. Lets get more on this from athens. What does this do for plans now that the decenting members of his party made it official and are now going it alone . Reporter as we have been saying, this split is one of the key reasons why the elections are taking place now. They have to clear its own house. They have to sort out who is going to be with him in the new government if he is reelected to power roughly a month from now and who is going to go their own way into a pro National Currency party, one that will presumably join forces with other leftwing parties, to clear the 3 threshold in the popular vote and oppose all austerity whether it comes with bailout money and reform or not. Now, this 25 figure that you mentioned really stems from a list of mps who signed an article against the new bailout agreement about a month ago and who sided with the back ventures who were a very small number, about half a dozen. So it is clearly this third bailout loan that he signed on to and done its uturn on austerity that caused the rift and caused up to a third of the 149 mps to part ways with the Prime Minister. How are people in greece reacting to all of this and the prospect of yet another electi election . Its not a welcome prospect to most people that i have spoken to. People do know that the average Life Expectancy of governments has fallen since the crisis in 2008. In fact, its fallen by at least half. The conservatives ruled for two and a half years, but socialists before them for two years and there was an interim unelected Prime Minister for four months, if you remember, at the end of 2011, the last time that greece nearly dropped out of the eurozone. Its become the new normal, if you like. Politics here are unstable, that governments are insecure and that the opposition to austerity which accompanies all of these bailout loans that greeces european creditors have provided is a growing camp. The trouble is that its also introducing an asymmetrical triinto greek politics. The popular vote is against austerity on the whole. You saw that on the july 5 referendum. 62 of greeks voted against moral austerity. But in parliament, once people get to parliament, a compromise is made. Lawmakers tend to opt for austerity in order to keep greece within the eurozone preferring to choose the responsible option. Because nobody here really feels that they have got the Political Authority to take greece on the adventure that it would be to go back to National Currency. That is unchartered territory. Its unclear that greece is in any state of preparedness for that venture. Australia is considering a request from the United States to carry out air strikes against isil in syria.
