hoda abdel hamid travelled to see how people were getting on. >> reporter: for 20 years his coffee shop was the pulse of the neighborhoods. barely anyone here during these days of austerity. >> now three or four customers every day. >> reporter: so how do you keep it open? >> i don't pay anyone. [ inaudible ] nothing. all of this here you see? no pay. no pay. >> reporter: this man is not worried his landlord will throw him out, most of the shops on his street have shut down and no one is investing in new businesses. wherever you look there is this same scene of abandonment. the blinds are down doors are shut windows look scruffy. sometimes there's a phone number, in case someone is interested but by the looks of it no one is. >> reporter: those who survived have had to downsize. he recently let go of two employees. >> of course i was upset. they were together for 20 years with us. it is a trip to unknown waters okay. but we hope for something better. so i prefer to have the hope instead of something i know is going to make me close my business. >> reporter: this is not just a story of b

in the greek capitol of athens and jackie rolands in brussels where talks have been taking place and hamid speaking with residents most effected in greece's second largest city. so john let's start with you, at what cost for greece then? >> reporter: well, this is going to be a difficult package. i mean we are already beginning to see how the greek political scene is shaping up which is way we discussed an hour ago. we had a post that went up on the website run by the far left saying that this is going to be a catastrophic memorandum for greece. that site however has now gone down. we don't know if it's technical reads or editorial reasons but it's an indication of how the far left wing is going to react to all of this and they will be at the heart of defectsions if there are any if greece is called upon to pass. also hearing from the labor minister, a very figure in this government there could well be elections in 2015 and that is hardly surprising and we are expecting that because once these measures are put through parliament i think the likely result will be a bigger split in the rulin

copilot fariq abdul hamid's hard drive was also found not to be suspicious. fariq was 27 and lived with his family. he joined the airline in 2007 and had transitioned to flying the 777 after wrapping up his simulator training. mh-370 was his first unsupervised flight in the jumbo jet's cockpit. a month before the plane disappeared, cnn's aviation correspondent, richard quest visited fariq in another cockpit. that day, the pilot described his landing as textbook perfect. and he had entertained other guests in the cockpit too. this woman took photos while she was in the cockpit with fariq, where he and his colleagues smoked cigarettes. after the crash, malaysian airlines said they were shocked by the allegations. by the time those final words were spoken from mh-370's cockpit to air traffic control, the airline said someone had already started to alter the flight plan so was it the pilot? did he disable the plane's communication systems and turn off the transponder? the transponder helps those on the ground locate the plane. if this wasn't just a terrible accid

next to jennifer is shadi hamid who i often have to face on a show. moderating today i don't have to worry about shadi getting the best of me because it often happens. sha di is one of washington's most leading experts on muslim brotherhood and thought deeply about issues of reform, what is reform issues of extremism what is extremism, and so forth. so i welcome him. and of course, shadi is at brookings institution just up the street and soon to be the american enterprise institute's neighbor. and last but not least is my old friend abbas kadhim. i met abbas in the u.s. military lecturing. he's probably one of the best connected americans to the internal religious state inside nedjaf. he's a senior fellow at johns hopkins, he's also founded indes pencible shiite studies. what i will do is open the conversation to my panelists with the very basic question, we often talk about how islam needs reform. but what exactly is a reform in the -- what is reformism in the islamic context? >> i'd like to start by rejecting the concept of reform. i don't find it h
