In his first big speech before Parliament, the Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has said he will raise the minimum wage and rehire public servants who were sacked as part of the previous government's austerity measures.

David Grantic reports.

Alexis Tsipras told Parliament he will rehire thousands of sacked public sector workers and reopen the same Broadcast which was closed to save money. He said Greece wanted to pay its massive debts but under a new deal. Germany is Greece's biggest creditor. The nation has given massive loans to Athens insisted that it must stick to reforms.

And they weren't to be pleased either by Greece's new Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis. In an interview with Italy's RAI Television, he described the euro as fragile, and said the single currency was like a castle of cards, adding if you take out the Greek card, the others will collapse.

The leaders of Ukraine, Germany, France and Russia have planned to hold further talks on Wednesday, to try to find a diplomatic solution to the conflict in eastern Ukraine.

Emileo Bekannents reports.

The proposal appears to be broadly a resurrection of the previous Minsk deal reached last September. It would likely involve an immediate ceasefire and the creation of a demilitarized zone to keep the war inside the part. The problem is Russian backed rebels have advance since last September, and then new truce position would mean Ukraine losing control of yet more territory. Even if a deal is agreed, many wonder if the rebels on the ground will stop fighting.

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei has said he firmly support negotiations with western powers, aimed at securing no compromise on Iran's nuclear program. This comment came as the Iranian foreign minister met the US Secretary of State John Kerry in Munich.

Jonnathan Marker reports.

The signals are increasingly positive that deal on Iran's nuclear program maybe in sight. Mr Zarif said afterwards "we are reaching the point where it's quite possible to make an agreement. And I do not believe anything would be different a year down the road.

There's a reference to the possibility of extending the current interim agreement beyond the end of June. But the most significant comment probably came from Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was reported to say that he would go along with the deal as it is in the making. The hope is for progress on the central issue, the scope of Iran's enrichment activity. And if movement can be achieved here, then it could the key to resolving other areas of disagreement.

Egyptian state television says at least 14 supporters of the Zamalek football club had been killed and many others injured in clashes with police outside the stadium in Cairo. Other reports say the casualties are much higher. Fighting broke up before a Premier League match against the ENPPI team. Police used tear gas to disperse the Zamalek supporters.

Jordan says it's carried out 56 airstrikes in three days against Islamic State militants in Syria. The head of Jordanian Air Force General Mansour al Jbour said the attacks had degraded nearly 20 percent of the group's fighting capabilities. Jordan intensified its air campaign in revenge for the killing of the captured pilot who was burnt alive.

United Nations' Envoy to Yemen has said all the political parties there have agreed to resume talks on the future of the country. Jamal Benomar says the negotiations will include representatives from the Shiite Houthi Militia which recently took over the government. President Hadi resigned last month after Houthi rebels tighten their military control of the capital Sana'a. The Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon said the Houthis had created a government vacuum.

The situation is very very seriously deteriorating with the Houthis taking power and making this government vacuum in power. There must be a resurrection of legitimacy of President Hadi.

A researcher in England has discovered a forgotten copy of the Magna Carta., the political charter that established the principle of the rule of law eight centuries ago. Agreed by King John in 1215, the Magna Carta set limits on the power of the English monarchy and inspired the American Declaration of Independence centuries later. Only 24 copies are known to exist.

The final the Africa's most prestigious football tournament the African Cup of Nations has gone into extra time. No goals were scored in 90 minutes of play between Ghana and Ivory Coast in Equatorial Guinea. The two African football giants also met in the final in 1992 when Ivory Coast won on penalties. Ghana has won the competition four times but not since 1982.
