And how it will resonate across europe with our correspondents in brussels and madrid. Surprise in americas northeast, as it braces itself for one of the largest snowstorms in history. Well take you live to new york. Plus aaron is here also talking about greece the markets, watching so closely, aaron. Absolutely, lucy. Only today, the euro slid to an 11year low against the dollar. No doubt investors are very worried about what this election victory could mean for europe. So were going to ask the question, can greece renegotiate its 270 billion or will greece be forced out of the euro zone . . Good midday in london, 7 00 a. M. In washington, and 2 00 p. M. In athens where greeks have a new leader. It is this man, Alexis Tsipras, who leads the syriza party, and there is one policy that have persuaded greeks to vote for him, a promise to an end to austerity. Greeks have suffered years of punishing measures. Now mr. Tsipras says he will rewrite that deal looking at some of the numbers, you can understand why greeks might vote for change. Unemployment currently stands at 26 . Youth unemployment is almost 50 . The economy has shrunk by 25 since the start of the euro zone crisis in 2009 and about one third of the population now lives below the poverty line. But can mr. Tsipras really deliver on his election promises and still keep greece within the euro zone . Lets take it to mark lowe who is in athens where these are the two Big Questions today, arent they mark . Reporter Big Questions, indeed. Yes, hello, and thank you from athens where greece has a new Prime Minister. Alexis tsipras will be sworn in this afternoon. He go to the president and take the oath of office. Were told it will be a civil oath of office, not a religious one, a first in a country that is 99 orthodox christian. He will form a coalition with a small Rightwing Party here called independent greeks also fiercely antiausterity. But on social issues such as immigration, much more hard line. In some ways unlikely bedfellows. Alexis tsipras has made huge promises to end austerity and wipe out half of greeces debt. The problem is can he deliver on those promises. Now lets get the latest from our World Affairs correspondent, nick chiles. Greece and europe have woke up to a political earthquake and are busy digesting the political consequences. Its a dramatic change of the political guard in greece. It was quickly down to business for last nights victor. His landslide win didnt quite deliver an overall majority. So a vital meeting with the leader of the rightwing independent greeks party. They may be at the opposite end of the political spectrum from syriza, but they too, are fiercely antiausterity. It didnt take too long for the two men to work out a deal. The independent greeks confirmed theyve agreed to join a coalition with syriza. Now we represent the nation. And the greek nation its one government together. All the greeks will be together. Reporter for Alexis Tsipras, the moment of triumph swept to the brink of power with a radical message, rejecting an economic bailout plan that has seen the Greek Economy shrink by a quarter and led, he said to national humiliation. But what now . Translator the new greek government will be ready to cooperate and negotiate for the first time with our partners. We want a beneficial and viable solution so greek can leave behind the vicious circle of debt. Reporter his supporters may have been buoyant, but how can he now deliver on his election pledges and renegotiate greeces bailout, when the countrys creditors, led by germany, are so opposed. As german newspapers record greeces dramatic shift to the let, german and eu leaders will be bracing for what will be difficult negotiations and no doubt more Turbulent Times for the euro zone. After the celebrations of the night before theyre clearing up outside of greeces parliament. Many greeks may see the dawn of a new hope but many others still question what the price will be in greece and beyond. Nick childs bbc news. Now, tsipras has pledged to chart a new course for greece turning the country back on the debt agreement on austerity, and on four years of the bailout deal with the eu and the imf. That mr. Place athens in direct confrontation with brussels and berlin and the architects of austerity, which had greece vote with a party that said it would stick to the path of budget cuts and fiscal reform. So likely to reverbuate very much from here across the european union. And in brussels particularly where your zone finance ministers are meeting today. Our correspondent, damian is there. Whats the mood likely to be today . Hello from brussels. Those ministers are gathering now ahead of that meeting. I think a little bit of concern, because of the nature of this victory, the size of the victory, and quite what syriza will now bring to the negotiations here, but theyre waiting to see what the greek position will be. Just a few minutes ago, within the last hour, i had a chance to speak very briefly to the share of the finance ministers meeting, the dutch finance minister, he was arriving for that meeting. He stopped briefly and i asked him was there any room for compromise now in greece. This is what he said. Let me first of all, congratulate the greek government. Im looking forward to working with them. I think our joint issue, our joint goal is to strengthen the Greek Economy within the euro zone and that is also an ambition they have. Working with the euro zone means theyll comply with all the agreements we have in the euro zone and on that basis, we will support them where we can. Well open the talks with them as soon as they are up and running. We shall wait for them. But we are very ready to work with them and to talk on the future of their program. We have already done a lot to take off the debt pressure the debt burden by reducing Interest Rates allowing longer periods for them to repay loans. So there doesnt seem to be great urgency there. Writing off debt in nominal value, i dont think theres a lot of support for that in the euro zone. So a very clear message, i think, coming from here. The countries here saying they want to work with greece they want to be flexible but the basic rules stand. If greece wants more money from the greek here they have to abide by agreements already made and has to promise it will repay in the future. Mark . Damian thank you very much in indeed. One of the countries where syrizas victory is likely to inspire another populist antiestablishment party, is in spain, where the party is leading the opinion polls. Its leader, also young, charismatic, very antiausterity. Was actually here in athens last week, he was at the last athens rally of Alexis Tsipras. He came on stage at the end to wild cheers and a standing ovation. He was hugged ly Alexis Tsipras and spoke to the crowd in greek, which they lapped up and he said this is a new era for those who are challenging the policies of brussels and berlin. Lets turn to our correspondent who was in the spanish capital. What is he saying about these series of victories here in athens . Reporter its great news for them. Yesterday at a rally in valencia, we were there. This young, as you say, charismatic new leader who looks and sounds nothing like your average politician in spain, he was mentioning greece on a regular basis, talking about the level of social pain there because of the economic crisis and saying i dont want spain to be greece. The main party has been rattled and this party has jumped on to the scene. Last years election they won about 8 of the vote but now theyre taking around 25 of the votes in some of the polls. The era of twoparty governists, the socialists is and the right wing in spain is pretty much over. But the big question is can they actually win in the general election the end of this year. But a lot of people say his parties are populist radical, unrealistic. But his message does chime with a lot of people. The antiausterity medical, and particularly the anticorruption message. Theres been a string of Corruption Cases in this country over the last months and years. And a lot of people are fed up with the mismanagement, the bad politics, as they perceive it, in spain. Reporter so momentum is building clearly among the antiausterity party of europe. But from before, when greece was at the height of the crisis, there was a lot of fear from greece were to leave the euro zone, that could spread contagion, especially spain. How is the spanish economy doing now, and is there still the fear spain could go the way of greece . Reporter its interesting, mark, given everything ive said, you would imagine the economy is moving in the wrong direction. Actually it isnt. The spanish economy is expected to increase this year more than any other economy in the euro zone. Unemployment is still 24 , hugely high, but it fell by half a Million People last year. The Popular Party governance has quite a strong argument that his austerity policies are working. That it is moving the country in the right direction. But what you cant underestimate is this deep level of dissatisfaction with traditional Political Parties and so theyve jumped on to the scene with a fresh message, a real sort of message of change and hope and its really being listened to by a lot of people. Hes never going to take the deep rightwing but a lot of people in the middle who have used to vote for the socialists who have walked over. Change and hope theres very much felt here in greece as well. Tom burrridge, thank you very much, indeed. Nice to talk to you. Now, greece will have a confrontation with brussels and berlin in weeks, because in march, this country has to pay 2. 5 billion to the imf and 7 billion to the central bank. It simply doesnt have that money, and creditors say unless they stick to the path to austerity, it will not get the emergency funding from outside. There is likely to be a pretty fullon collision within a matter of weeks. Mr. Tsipras will say, ive been given a big mandate to not to stick to austerity, but how to lift us off the crisis. Well have live analysis and coverage from the bbc, but now back to you in london lucy. Thanks so much for that from athens. Aaron is with me now. Fascinating ties. Markets are watching this all incredibly closely. What happens . We didnt see the path many were predicting with an outcome like we saw late last night. And the last time i looked they were slightly lower. Earlier today, the euro slid. The single currency slid to an 11year low against the u. S. Dollar. Its gained some of that back. I think people are now digesting. A bit of a clash, but months of negotiating against the greeks. So theyre digesting it and also the rhetoric. The syriza party has softened. They are proeuro. So theyre taking into hand. One thing i did here, the suggestion that investors are perhaps also thinking some that the euro zone may be better without greece. Well have to wait and see. Weve just been hearing from tom that there are other countries as well, italy, a few problems in france. A Bigger Picture about contagion. I think that will be the crack, at least in the minds of europe and the powers to be. Again, i go back to germany, the pay master of europe when it comes to this renegotiation. How lenient will they be or do they want to be given that they have other austerity parties. Greek wants half of their debt written off. If they do that whos to say, the others come and say, you gave it to greece, we want that. A lot more coming up in half an hour. Some other news now. The u. S.

People there are saying there are going to be historic levels of snow blizzard warnings are in place, boston new york people all being urged to stay indoors. Thousands of flights have already been canceled as well. And new york itself the mayor, bill de blasio has told residents to prepare for the worst. Sarah is with us from the weather center. Hes also saying prepare for the worst and hes also saying this is going to be the biggest storm new york has ever seen. Thats right. It could be a recordbreaking storm. Huge amounts of snow and very powerful winds. Why is this storm quite so big and so dangerous . Its a combination of meteorological factors. First off, mild air across western parts of the u. S. , very cold air in charge in the east. And when these two air masses meet, a strong jet stream is driving the area. Its already brought some snow to the south of the great lakes, but as it pushes its way eastward, it heads out across the atlantic increasingly across the atlantic it picks up warm, moist air. And thats really going to energize the storm. Rapidly deepening, and its going to be very heavy, exceptionally heavy all across areas, including philadelphia and pushing up towards maine as well. Not just snow but winds will be a big factor. Some of the gusts could be up to near Hurricane Force around the coast, some really big waves around as well. So its got that combination of very heavy snow were likely to see perhaps 20 to 30 inches of snow falling over the next couple of days. Travel disruption is likely for many areas. And Power Outages as well. And it could be a couple of days before things get back to normal due to the strong winds and the very heavy snowfall as well. Damaging wind likely some Power Outages and problems for travel too. So we will see that heavy snow continuing through the course of tuesday, for the likes of boston and new york too. Into wednesday, some rest the storm pushes to the north, but before we get there, a lot of Severe Weather in the cards. Keep a close eye on it over the next couple of days. Everyone stocking up in the shops, as well getting all their supplies. Thanks so much. The burmese government say investigations are continuing into the rape and murder of two teachers last week. The young women were from the seniority ethnic group, and activists and locals are blaming soldiers from the burmese army. On friday more than 10,000 people attended the womens funeral in the state capital. From myanmar, heres our correspondent, jones fisher. They came to welcome and to say farewell to two young women. Thousands lined the roads at the state capital to witness the final stage of the bodies twoday voyage home. They had worked as teachers in a small village in a neighboring state. She was a beautiful and selfless person, this friend says. Thats why she went to teach kids in a place where there was no other school. A week ago, soldiers from the burmese army arrived is and occupied their village. That night, both women were raped and murdered. The teachers were christians, like most, and thousands of mourners packed into a Theological College for the funeral. The wounds are deep here for most of the last 50 years, they have been fighting for independence from the buddhistdominated burmese state. Many see this as the latest case in a long line of atrocities committed against them by the burmese army. The government has ordered a police investigation, but few believe it will deliver the truth. The government shouldnt hide things anymore, this pastor says. They must be brave and admit what has happened. There have been persistent and welldocumented reports for many years about the burmese armys use of Sexual Violence against ethnic women and young girls in conflict areas. In this recent case if it is true, and all indications are that these allegations are correct, that it was perpetrated by the Burmese Military it demonstrates once again that the burmeses military behavior on the ground hasnt improved at all and theyre just as abusive as ever. Reporter six months ago, hopes were high that an historic ceasefire was about to be signed between the government and the many armed ethnic groups, but not anymore. The women were murdered in northern shan state, which in the last few months, has seen frequent clashes. In ka chin in november they shelled a rebel Training Camp at laiza. Many of the clashes are linked to transport routes and access to lucrative natural resources, like jade and timber. Over the last four years, the government and the country here as a whole has changed in quite a remarkable way. But for there to be a lasting peace, its the army not the president and his advisers that really matter. So far, theres been no indication from senior generals that theyre really committed to this reform process or that they want to stop their soldiers abusive ways. Embarrassment for the uks Security Services after a hoax caller was put through to the Prime Ministers phone. The caller heads to be the head of the uks intelligence gathering hq. The Prime Minister ended the call when it became clear it was a hoax and said that no Sensitive Information was disclosed. The same caller earlier managed to obtain a mobile phone number for the director. Officials say the procedures are being reviewed. Robert brand has more on the story. Firstly, this person called gchq in the west country and managed to brag the mobile phone number for the boss robert hannigan, the man who runs the place. And that person then rang down to the switchboard, which prides itself on being able to get ahold of anyone anytime, anywhere. They pretended to be mr. Hannigan and got put through, almost unbelievably to the Prime Minister. Now, were told David Cameron realized very quickly and put the phone down in a matter of seconds. And also were told that no Sensitive Information was revealed during the conversations, but it is frankly very embarrassing perhaps more for gchq the fact that someone can ring up and brag the phone number for the man in charge of the governments listing post the people responsible for looking at emails and phone numbers across the world, the people responsible for spying on the british people.

This hour celebrations in india to mark republic day. In delhi, a spectacular display of the countrys military might and culture. And this year a first, barack obama becomes the first u. S. President to attend the parade. Live in delhi, the parade has finished. The hard talking between president obama and Narendra Modi has just started. Also on the program, aaron is here, and and a possible boost to the coin. Thats certainly caused a lot of controversy. A first license exchange in the United States. It will be called coin basis backed by the u. S. Stock exchange, allowing you and i to trade in bitcoins. And well be talking to our tech guru to find out if it finally makes this currency legitimate. Welcome back to gmt. It is public day in india, a chance to celebrate. And this year a special guest has flown into town. U. S. President barack obama. He was invited to be the chief guest at the military parade in delhi. Well, lets take you live, straight to the capital now. The weather hasnt been great, but still pretty spectacular today for president obama. Yes, its a bit gloomy a bit drizzly, but it has been a day of exuberant celebrations. The parade has now finished. The tough, hard talking between president and Prime Minister well, that has just started. The images the pictures youre referring to just a short while ago, well the two leaders trying to actually have that as the backdrop. The message they want to portray is this is a strategic relationship between these two countries, that is fast developing. And of course they have shared interest common threats, a bit of a hope they can make progress on trade, on fighting the terrorism, and also Climate Change. John kerry, the american secretary of state was here only a fort knight or so ago, laying the ground work for the meetings going on on Climate Change. And there was some heavy briefings for the americans. They really hope that significant progress can be made. Those are the pictures from a bit earlier. Lets talk a little more about the Climate Change though. Because i was saying its been pretty gloomy here in delhi. Just a little earlier in the day, i went to the outskirts of the capital to have a look at the pollution, the delhi fog that the capital is famous for, that rolls in every day from the river and envelopes the city. This is delhi fog. The haze, the pollution, that hangs pretty much permanently over the capital. It now ranks as the worst air quality on the planet, even worse than china. When you breathe in, you can generally taste the pollution here. Its worse at this time of year when its colder and its a combination of things. Its the rapid growth of the capital, its coalburning power stations, its 7. 4 million cars in delhi. Thats more than mumbai, calcutta put together. And the geography of where this city sits doesnt help. Its in a bowllike setting, trapping the dirty air. Well that was just a little earlier outside of the capital. Lets talk about this for the next few minutes with the environmentalist whos joins me here. Good to have you to join us here on republic day. I asked a question is Narendra Modi committed to Environmental Issues . What do you think . I think the fact is he has to be. He breathes the same air, he has to drink the same water. There is garbage in our streets and our rivers are getting more and more polluted. I think any Prime Minister is going to want to clean up the country. So you keep it in the future tense. You acknowledge that perhaps not at the moment. Im willing to give him the benefit of doubt, because hes just coming and the fact im only making the point that i thinks is too real an issue for any Prime Minister to avoid taking action on. It really is but we know he is focused, laser like on the economy and growth so is that an uncomfortable thing . I dont think so. And i think thats where, for too long in this country, we speak of environment versus development. Lets be very clear. We do need clean air. If we want clean air in delhi, for instance we will have to cut on diesel have to cut on the number of cars and increase public transport. To do that will also mean growth. So what chance is all of that you talk about clean energy and Narendra Modi mentioned that. And yet, 60 of energy is coalfire ed coalfired power. The fact is we are to cleanup our coal okay . No part of the world, other than germany, has actually gone out of coal. Not even the United States. India has a huge demand for energy as well. So in that sense, the Prime Minister is not wrong in saying i have to bear energy. And all of us are saying we need energy we need clean energy. The americans want to get more involved in the civil side of things. They complain that the Nuclear Liability laws here make that almost impossible. Do those have to change . I think theres been a lot talk over the last few days. And my understanding of the pollution is somebody is going to give. The Liability Law has been cleared by parliament. And the fact is liability is important for Nuclear Power plants. So i think they will be some give and take but the fact is that we will need to move ahead on many of these issues. Thanks for talking to us. We will keep an eye on this one, see what if anything is actually agreed and signed up. Just a quick point here because president obama has just stopped those roundtables with 100 ceos. Well look at that the next time youre here with us. And a reminder that ul of todays Global Programs will come live from delhi with me. You can join us. Back to you, lucy in the studio. Good to see you. He is following president obama and looking at where they are as they celebrate their national day. Lets take it back to the u. S. At the moment, they are preparing for a massive storm in the northeast, by being told historic levels of snow are expected. Hundreds of flights have been canceled. People have been told to stock up and stay indoors. Well, lets take care of it to rob marciano a reporter for abc in boston. Has the snow started yet, rob . It doesnt look like it, but everyones bracing themselves. Very much so, lucy. We are preparing here in boston. Behind me this isnt snow what you see behind me this is sand and at a sand factory, which is bustling this morning. 35,000 tons of sand theyre going to use to try to clear the roads and keep them melted here in boston. But its going to be an uphill battle for sure as some of this is actually coming all the way from new mexico and chile, even. We could see as much as a full meter of snow in some spots. And the winds could get over 100 miles an hour. This is going to be a blizzard an historic one, scheduled to arrive later on this afternoon and continue on through tomorrow night, lucy. Rob, will most people stay at home or are people going outside and going to take their chances . Reporter you would hope they would stay at home. I think today a lot of people are going to work. The advice is to maybe leave work early if they can. Schools are open for the most part today, but most certainly will be closed tomorrow and then you can imagine just how many cancellations will be in store tomorrow. That is the advice that were giving folks, is to stay at home during this snow. The worst of which will come tonight through tomorrow. At times, the visibility will be blinding blowing sideways visibilities will drop below a quarter of a mile. Its going to be flatout dangerous to be on the roads. It has been a relatively quiet winter compared to last year. Theres been very little snow, a snow deficit, of sorts, and this is going to completely distinguish that as some place will easily get a half a meter and maybe in some spots, a full meter of snow. Its going to be quite a storm. Basically, are people feeling like they need to stock up on supplies and things if theyll be indoors for a while . Reporter yeah for sure. There was a run on everything at the Grocery Stores yesterday. People just clearing the shelve of all the supplies they need to be basically stuck in their homes for several days. Very very busy not only here in boston but in new york city in philadelphia, the whole northeastern seaboard. Its going to be more of a coastal event. That means, thats a highly populated area. Were talking about tens of millions of people that are going to be impacted by this storm. All these people yesterday and today, you can be sure have been scrambling to stock up on supplies and prepare potentially for some Power Outages. You can imagine with all that snow and wind therell be some trees and power lines that are coming down. With temperatures that will be low below zero thats dangerous types of cold. That type of preparation has to be made as well, to be in your home potentially without electricity or heat for several days. Lots to think about as this storm approaches lucy. Thanks so much for the update from boston there, bob marciano, from abc in boston. Aarons with us now for all the business. Everyone watching greece so closely today. Today and the next day and the next day. Hello, there. Certainly as youve been hearing, the antiausterity parties have won greeces general election putting the country, lets be frank, on a collision course with the eu over its massive bailout. The youreuro has already fallen briefly hitting its lowest level against the u. S. Dollar in more than years. Of course, greeces finances and the new leaders pledge to get rid of austerity, thats what the markets are mostly worried about. Lets take a quick look at the state of the Greek Economy and ill warn you, it aint pretty because as you can see from these graphs the economy has been shrinking almost continuously since 2008 only exiting a prolonged recession late last year. Subsequently, greeces National Debt it has spiraled. The total is now at 175 of its gdp. What does that mean . Basically it means, greece is the second most indebted nation on the planet. Heres a tricky one. Greeces European Partners and the imf, the International Monetary fund, have committed this, 240 billion euro in loans to support the country since 2010 and the current round of funding expires on february the 28th. And we know that talks with their lenders have stalled about arguments, and it is the austerity measures that this man right here Alexis Tsipras, his Leftwing Party say they want out. Lets get more on this. Christopher is professor of economics at the London School of economics. Hes also a nobel prize winner. Christopher, great to have you with us, as always. Can i start with syriza. Syriza wins on pledges of what spending more government money, cutting taxes, increasing the minimum wage. But up until now, greece has survived on borrowed money. If that borrowed money stops, what happens . Hopefully borrowed money wont stop. We should think that syriza will go and in expect to get all these things they demanded before the election. Theyll have to prioritize and probably start with the debt. They cannot afford to spend a little bit more because the parliament budget. So they probably will spend more. I sympathize with the idea that the recession is not the best time to pay your debt. And also the idea if youre going to structure reforms to improve the competitiveness of your economy, those have a much better chance of succeeding if youre not imposing at the same time austerities. Im glad you talked about austerity, because i want to mention that. Isnt part of the problem is this . Because many would say, in particular, the germans, that greeces austerity and the reforms were already working. They were a work in progress. Last year, after six years in recession, they saw growth unemployment dropped, and for the first time in 40 years, greece stopped adding towards debt. But that message doesnt filter down to the millions who have been suffering. Well exactly. What the germans want to see is finance so they can get their money back. But what the ordinary greek person wants to see is an economy that starts functioning again. And you said that the economy has come the economy hasnt. When you lose 25 of your income and gain some its neither here nor there. And this is what were going to see with these numbers for the greek people. We need to see more investments. Thats a valid point. But giving were seeing the momentum of other antiausterity parties around europe france portugal spain, et cetera brussels and germany, when it comes to renegotiating, they have to be careful, arent they . Theyre not going to want to give too much away and set a precedent. Exactly. They have to be very careful not to give too much away but on the other hand they have to be careful to give something away because then all these parties would gain more popularity and power and then what would happen to the euro zone . Probably collapse. I think what a good approach would be would be to make it easier to repay the debts. Not to say you dont have to repay these debts, but maybe give longer periods of time in which you pay, which would be more important to say, you can pay when you start growing again. You dont to have to repay recession. Its the lesson we learned in the Great Depression and were committing the same mistakes now we were committing in the 1930s. We never learn, do we . Christopher, we really appreciate your time. Thank you for joining me on gmt. Now to a subject that we talk about a lot right here on the business the controversial virtual currency. Were talking bitcoin. It may have got a boost today, this monday because the first licensed Bitcoin Exchange is set to open in the United States. Its going to be called coin base and importantly, its being backed by the new york stock exchange. Let me just go straight over to the one and only tech guru. Is this finally, i guess, what legitimatized this currency . Well a bit of background, aaron. Bitcoin has been through a terrible time. It was very, very fashionable a year or so back. Its coming back down since then. Its had an image thats been mainly used by drug dealers and various criminals. And the most permanent exchange basically collapsed, leaving a lot of people out of pocket. It needed this good news. This is good news. Coin base is a Company Based ton west coast. Its classic Silicon Valley startup. Its received 75 million of backing just a few days ago, from investors including the new york stock exchange, and now its going to be able to run an exchange in the u. S. It already does that outside the u. S. , but the crucial thing about this its got regulatory approval. Not everywhere. It has to only deal in states where it has got prior approval. And thats not every state in the United States. But it is seen as a bit of a step forward towards respectability, perhaps. And thats a good point, because its also like the assurance for trade is what individuals or institutions that will be in short, it will be covered, so we hopefully wont have a scenario repeat. But im just wondering, what do you think the appetite will be like for people to start trading. And why are we seeing it being widely used. I think there are two separate things.
