announcer: this is al jazeera. hello, and welcome to the newshour, i'm martine dennis in doha - these are the top stories. >> i believe a good deal is at hand for everyone to benefit still optimistic, iran's foreign ministers meets his counterpart days ahead of a deadline foreign tourist fly out the tunisia after a gun attack on a beach. mosques accused of citing
9:01 am
terrorism are shut down greece accused of closing the door on bailout talks after calling a referendum on the latest debt deal. and ... i'm rob reynolds in california, this is part of what is called the way back machine, an effort to preserve vast amount of data that would otherwise be lost on the internet first, talks aimed at reaching a deal on iran's nuclear programme are under way in vienna ahead of a tuesday deadline. both the u.s. and iran believe a deal is achievable but admit that a lot of hard work still needs to be done. the u.s. secretary of state john kerry and iran's foreign minister are holding face-to-face talks acknowledging that significant differences still remain. well, the deal has been a long time in the making.
9:02 am
the world powers want a tough inspection regime to fer vi that iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapon, and want strict limits on the number of sentry fuges used to enridge uranium - the basic part of a nuclear bomb and a restriction on stockpile of nuclear fuel. iran says it wants to produce nuclear power for energy and medical purposes, and wants sanctions lifted as soon as a deal is agreed. >> that will give access to valuable oil and financial market from which it has been cut off, having a catastrophic effect on the economy. james bays is in vienna for the talks. there's nothing like a deadline to focus the mine is there. >> absolutely. the deadline is days away. this is supposed to be the final round of talks that got under
9:03 am
way in the pal asian room behind me. they sat down for 90 minutes of talks, then adjourned. they are starting again now for more talks. it was interesting that the iranian foreign minister zarif when speaking to the iranian press corp who is travelling with him said we can get a deal if the other side do not make excessive demands. later when he spoke if the u.s. secretary of state he was slightly more diplomatic. >> we all look forward to getting down to the final effort here to see whether or not a deal is possible. i think everybody would like to see an agreement. but we have to work through some difficult issues. >> maybe not on the issues but on the fact that we need to work really hard in all this to be able to make progress and move
9:04 am
forward. we are determined to do everything we can in order to be able to make this important milestone. >> so it sound as if they have a heck of a lot to get through to make the deadline on 30 june. >> they were supposed to be at this stage, dealing with the technical annexes. there are substantial parts of the deal though i'm told which have not been dealt with. things like the inspections that international suspectors will be allowed to do in iran to make sure iran is not cheating and the idea of lifting sanctions, and the global sanctions in plates with the u.n. security council resolution. i'm told that here in vienna work is going on too on that resolution. the international community, the p5+1, as they are called are drafting in the capital, and the general direction and some of the precise wording of that resolution is supposed to be agreed na vienna.
9:05 am
that's for a simple reason. once they get a deal if they get a deal it will go to the u.n. congress and security council. documents are wary if iran got a deal here they might, down the line, come to new york to the u.n. to renegotiate. that's why they are trying to buy in on the language of the resolution james bays diplomatic editor keeping his eye across developments in vienna the tunisian government is dismissing reports that a group linked to i.s.i.l. was behind friday's attack on a beach resort. the tunisian said the gunman had not trailed aboard and ordered the closure of 18 mosques for siting violence. pictures from sousse moment of
9:06 am
terror for tourists and locals in the area. 39 people were killed including the gunman who opened fire on sunbathers on a beach outside two hotels a beach linking two hotels. >> everybody suddenly stand up and were running fast fast. everyone crying run, run, run. security cry run, run, go to your rooms, run away. everyone pick up only what they had. only - nothing, everyone was running. he told us go inside go into the bar, go to your rooms. and it was - it was like in the war. >> well, meanwhile, there has been a rush of tourists at the nearby airport trying to leave the country, thousands of british visitor are being flown home in specially chartered
9:07 am
jets. this is the scene the day after the attack on the imperial harbour hotel. few tourists remain. security has been stepped up on the batches, which are pretty much deserted. the tunisian prime minister as i mentioned earlier, ordered 80 mosques, beyond government control, to be closed down and accused them of inciting violence. >> we'd like to emphasise that the war on terrorism is ongoing, and requires cooperation of all parties. it's not just security forces and army but a national duty. we should unite to fight terrorism. >> and we'll go live to sousse. a day after the murderous attack by a single gunman and the tunisians are feeling the effect aren't they? >> yes. well the hotel behind me once a popular resort has been turned into one of tunisia's
9:08 am
biggest ever crime scenes. i have seen forensic officers going in and sweeping the area. they say they have their man, say he was a lone gunman a student with no affiliations with any group, the government said, and no indications that he had travelled abroad. this is about more than the crime scene. i think the investigators will be looking at the motivations behind what inspired a young man to carry out one of tunisia's worst-ever attack. we know from the bardo museum attacks, they were trained in libya, carried out by tunis yaps, and they were from ordinary middle class backgrounds. the tunisians are trying to work out why thousands of young people are travelling from iraq syria and libya to fight with groups like i.s.i.l. in those areas, and some are returning and posing a threat to security here in tunisia.
9:09 am
>> it's a fundamental question for the tunisian authorities. are questioned raised yet as to why these visible signs of increased security why they were not put in place earlier, given what happened in march? >> well i think people are focussing on the lessons that should have been learnt before the bardo museum attack in tunis. you have to remember there are thousands of tourist spots and hotels along the coastline in tunisia. the focus on the security was at airports, at key tourist locations. now there is a big presence. how long can that last. how can you have a 24 hour presence at a tourist area. some say it's better to put those resources into trying to get to the heart of the root causes of why people are deciding to turn against their open country, and turn on
9:10 am
foreign forces here in tunisia. >> okay. talking to us live from sousse. well most of the dead in that attack were british nationals. so far eight have been identified. the british prime minister david cameron says his government will do everything necessary to get people home. >> we are working with the tunisian authorities to identify a final number on the british casualties, i'm afraid that the british public need to be prepared for the fact that many of those killed were british. these were innocent holiday makers relaxing in enjoying time with friends and families. like the victims in france and kuwait yesterday, they did not pose a threat to anybody. these terrorists murdered them because the terrorists oppose people and countries who stand for peace, tolerance and democracy. >> simon mcgregor-wood is our correspondent live in london.
9:11 am
so this is being seen particularly as an attack against british nationals. what kind of government response has there been? >> well david cameron speaking saturday morning on downing street having chaired an emergency meeting. cobra security cabinet, a connection of his close circle of cabinet ministers and security advisors the kind of thing that happens in the aftermath of something like this. i think there is a sense within the british establishment, given that the vast majority of the victims of the shooting attack will be eventually identified as being british, something that he needs to for political reasons and domestic consumption, need to be across. interestingly, following his statement, there was another statement from a senior police officer from the london metropolitan police saying that in view of this attack and
9:12 am
although there are no specific threats at the moment in the uk security at a number of event throughout the u.k. is being raised. it's u.k. armed forces day. there's a number of military parades up and down the country, and a large gay pride march in london. security will be increased. that is about reassuring the public given the level of hysteria that there is in the press, following the terrible attacks. >> simon mcgregor-wood live for us in london. thank you now, european creditors are accusing greece of closing the door on any future bailout deal. the greek prime minister's did you suggest to hold a referendum on a deb deal angered disagrees -- debt deal angered international lenders. they meet in brussels for what is billed as last-ditch talks on a bailout.
9:13 am
greece must make a crucial debt repayment of 1.5 billion euro to the i.m.f. next tuesday. >> i'm very negatively surprised by today's decisions by the greek government. they have apparently rejected the last proposals on the table from the three institutions and on that negative basis proposed for parliament to have a referendum with, again, a negative advice to the greek people. that's a sad decision for greece, because it closed the door on further talks, where it was still open in my find. >> the greek prime minister alexis tsipras called a snap referendum following late-night talks in athens rejecting bail out proposals calling them a humiliation for the greek people. >> translation: tomorrow with a letter i will ask from the european leaders and institutions an extension of a
9:14 am
programme for a few says so the greek people can decide free of blackmail as the constitution dictates. >> let's look at the main sticking points. the fus is pensions. cred -- first it pensions. creditors want to fade out a solidarity ground to pensionersment the greek government is resisting a hike on household energy bills and service industry and wants to raise corporate taxes reasoning the creditors call for a marchinal increase. andrew simmonds is in brussels where the eurozone finance minister are gathering again for the last-ditch talks. first to john psaropoulos live from athens. how are greeks reacting to the late-night surprise decision of a referendum having been called. how are they feeling today?
9:15 am
>> well the first reaction from people is that those who were up late and as soon as they heard the referendum went to atms to withdrawal last paychecks to prepare for a closure of banks, as the crisis reaches a further climax. the reaction from politicians is they are swinging into election mode. during the debate taking place in parliament behind me the opposition law-maker told the government if you do not win this referendum - in other words, if greeks do not vote against the austerity package and remain within the euro they be i hope he said well see the government ministers tender resignations. they'll reject who syriza asked to do with i is to be against any austerity package.
9:16 am
that is rapidly turning, therefore, this referendum on a question of what is one austerity package into a proxy referendum of euro membership as a whole. it nearly happened four years ago, it's coming back again. the same conservative law-maker said what are you asking people to do speaking to the interior minister, you have a strong mandate to negotiate, why don't you negotiate. what you are really acting people to do is endorse their own exit from the eurozone. to which, of course the interior ministers responded by saying this is a moment of independence for greeks. we have the two sides, the opposition supporting eurozone membership order being painted in the financial system and the government saying enough is enough time greece went its own way. creditors appear to have dieded that greece will go its own way.
9:17 am
the statements we heard, one which you already played out, is that greece almost certainly will not honour a document put out today or those produced earlier in the week. we'll see whether, of course greece decides to honour i.m.f. bonds on the last day of the financial assistance period june 30th on tuesday. it seems unlikely at the moment that it will do so. >> let's go to andrew in brussels. they have taken the gloves off haven't they really. is there a sense in brussels that the creditors and other european institutions are preparing for the greek nation to leave the eurozone. >> it would appear that that is the case because as many ministers said when they arrived for the meeting, what could they do now that greece has, in the words of the leader of the euro
9:18 am
group, closed the door. then they weren't prepared to talk or do anything more as other ministers said that's the case now, and they want to go to a referendum that's their affair. as far as these talks were concerned. there was a deal on the table. the greek government turned its back on it walking out, turning the situation into more of a crisis than before. now we have a situation like this. by tuesday, as john was saying you have the deadline to re pay that 1.5 billion to the international monetary fund. and then the extension of the bailout deal will not happen unless a decision is made to extend it. it's unlikely that will take place, and we are in a situation where the european central bank
9:19 am
feels they have to keep the situation going, there'll be the danger of effects on the whole eurozone. the e.c.b. will find itself in a situation where yes, it can continue to bail out the greek central bank in terms of passing on billions of euros into the system, but there's a point where the government may be insolvent, and then it isn't legal to carry on doing that and we have the whole default turning into a meltdown. that is the potential for what could happen. people are saying that there's always the chance that there could be a last-minute deal to some extent. but it will be surprising if that took place. it looks now that we are heading towards what many feared and that is the exit of greece from europe all right. thank you very much. andrew simmonds our man in brussels today at this particularly critical juncture it would appear in this
