oreach agreement and a crucial dead laindeadline is days away. barn bisibarnaby phillips please explain the situation. >> reporter: i think their mandate from the greek people they felt quiek clearly was to reject further austerity policies and they felt increasingly that they were getting no flexibility whatsoever from their european

partners but they were being condemned to imposing the same old policies which they would say were suffocateing asphyxiating putting the greek economy into a death spiral. unemployment has soared up and the greek people can take no more. from the creditors feeling this government negotiates in an erratic inconsistent way and it failed to show sears commitment to the strurlt structural reforms. that is an emotional eight reaction to the situation. but let me talk about pensions first. creditors saying that grease greece as a percentage of gdp they were

argue for cuts. the greek government saying no way we can do that. 50% of our young people are unemployed. in many families pensions are the only source of income for an extended family. there was tough talk about that. the greek government did move a little bit in their last proposals in the previous week in which they did agree they would phase in higher retirement age and the vat, it is very dry but when it is about 23% in some crucial areas including tourism the hotel business but if you like the greek business sector and indeed the imf saying it's

disastrous will sufficient to growth. the worker, perhaps seen as a possible way out tax the rich if you like, tax business more and perhaps we can deal with greece's deficit in that way. but again you have the business sector saying and indeed the imf saying that will be bad for the greek economy. so that's where talks have foundered, but against a backdrop ever stroort situation that has worsened in the last couple of months. >> now we've got a referendum called july 5th. how are greeks be looking at this and waking up to this this morning. >> it is just incredible. in theory, the referendum is next sunday. parliament is due to assemble in

a scum of hours and vote on it. there are all kinds of things that we simply don't know that will happen in the next couple of days. there are doubts even of the referendum. under the greek constitution you can't hold a referendum on fiscal issues. what wile happen to greek banks in the meantime, due to open obviously on monday. they've been surviving on essentially handouts, life support from the european central bank. will the european central bank want to carry on giving that life support? what happens to the almost $2 billion which greece says it doesn't have which it has to pay back to the imf in theory on tuesday? if it fails to pay that it will be in such exalted economic company a right wing paper and

this is how the right the center right will be framing this referendum. a referendum on bankruptcy, the euro or the drachma, this is a pro-syriza party it says referendum, forget it. >> barnaby phillips updating us live from athens. a day of mourning has been declared in kuwait. all kuwaiti security agencies have been placed on high alert. all out confrontation against terrorism. mohammed jamjum reports.

let's talk more with stefan a-uer. what do you think of this, was it a smart move? >> very self districtive very clever nobody can predict the immediate consequences of it. it might have caused havoc over greek society and greek economy over the coming days or weeks. it may be clever because tsipras refuses to take the responsibility for this mess, the currency many situation that the greek people are doing. not the leaders of the european union and not the greek government that is problem currently really. >> it seems pretty clear doesn't it stipts is hoping there is going to be a no vote in this

many frul. what is the deal that creditors are offering them? >> we don't even know what will happen next, what will happen on monday will the banks reopen in greece. they can only reopen if the imf keeps.supporting them. just for a couple of days some kind of bridge loan which will be some kind of fudge here. we don't know whether greece will be able to repay the debt on tuesday and the imf promised to not allow greece a grace period right? so for me the interesting question is who will pull the trigger? no one wants to pull the trigger, right? not the imf not the european central bank because the european central bank is not meant to make such a decision of far reaching consequences. not the members of the other eu

member states, not angela merkel doesn't want to go down in history as the german chancellor who caused the tragedy. we don't know whether the exit of greece from the single european currency will be. the wider -- what tsipras is betting on. >> some of the eu countries are saying we have to discuss plan b. what's plan b? >> well plan b would be obviously imposing capital controls and then the banks might not even be reopened on monday. the plan b would be a preparation for an orderly exit of greece from the european union. and mind you i've been saying for the last five years is the question of not when greece will leave but when it will leave.

i've also been writing about the need of the european preparation for an orderly exit. make no mistake greece will badly need help, whether it will remain in the single european union currency or whether it will find itself outside the euro zone. the imf is likely to help them if they default on it. >> stefan, thank you for joining us. barack obama has paid tribt to thetribute to the nine black americans who were killed at the attack in charleston, south carolina. the president ended his eulogy by singing "amazing grace."
