lives as a fireball light up in taiwan at a water park. brazil crashes out of the copa america on penalties. to paraguay. all the action later this hour. worried greeks have been waiting in line at cash points as the european central bank continue to discuss whether to provide cash. the emergency funding is separate to the bailout. ministers have been locked in an increasingly bitter argument with european lenders over the terms of the bailout deal. the government called a referendum on that deal. and parliament gave its backing after a long and angry debate.

the pro european parties voted against. but prime minister alexis tsipras's parties past the votes needed. >> translation: this game has finished have a verdict verdict of the greek people on 25th and will end next sunday. >> reporter: earlier the opposition leader was withering in his attack, arguing that the government is recklessly endangering greece's membership of the eurozone. >> translation: i say this from the beginning that we want the creeks to be in the heart of europe dominique kane is at the european central bank in frank further and we'll speak with him in a moment. first to john psaropoulos in athens, there'll be a

referendum. give us a flavour of the arguments that went on about it in parliament. and what the greek people think of this? >> well, as we reported last night the opposition believes all of this was planned by the ruling leftist in order to create political uncertainty that would gave rise to a greek exit from the euro. the opposition says that that has been syriza's plan all along, and they were never negotiating with creditors in europe in ernest. the government says we cannot we do not have the authority to rejected the deal the creditors have given us on the basis of the 36% vote in january, nor do we have the authority to accept it. the people have to decide anew. this is a referendum that will foreshadow a renewed election. if the government which has

advised people to vote against the creditor's deal receives a yes vote it is likely possible that this country will face another general election because the government has been reprimanded for a confrontational stance. 47% of greeks are being polled as saying they want the deal to be made. it is a large majority. two-thirds in the same poll in one of the leading sunday papers two-thirds are saying as they have done for years, that they want greece to remain within the eurozone. that's a consistent majority that we have been seeing. it looks for the moment people are veering towards a compromise a yes vote. all of this is on a political level. on a financial level, events on the ground may shape public opinion in the days to come.

greece has been fighting an uphill battle at the e.c.b.s governing board that we'll hear from to maintain liquidity assistance. there's a minority on the board. and the voices in favour of doing so have been increasing over the last two weeks. at some point greece may be outnumbered. indeed that's the next big question - are greek banks going to open on monday. let go to dominik kane in frankfurt. all eyes on the e.c.b. who is holding an emergency meeting on the issue. >> that's right. we expect the meeting to be held at some point with a teleconference or video conference with the other eurozone countries and greece. the issue is that theuals so far

as loans and other institutions they make the loans like any other bank against collateral and does the greece central bank have the collateral to allow them to make the loans. i was here reporting on the fact to give the latest central request more e l.a.s, this is a sticking plaster to tide over a country. the greek economy is an open wound and no sticking plaster can cover over the insolvansy. worth remembering the 1.5 billion needs to be repaid on 30 june. standing in front of the building costing 1.5 million, perhaps there are greeks that say there are priorities that are wrongly centered. the german newspaper, it has

printed in ancient greek the word exodus translating exit. and they are aligned. now greece stands alone, which sums up how some in the media, and some political figures are portraying the situation.. >> dominik cane in frankfurt a man that carried out the attack in a mosque was a saudi arabia national. he landed at kuwait at down on friday, hours before detonating explosives at the shia mosque killing 27. on saturday mass funerals were held for those victims. let's go to mohammed jamjoom joining us from the city. are we getting information or motives from the bomber that blew himself up.

attack to target the tourism, the backbone of the economy in tunisia. authorities are working hard to work out. >> a lot of questions to be answered. the government announced a number of new measures to improve security. not everyone is happy with them are they? >> well basically we have issues here. the authorities saying they'll beef up security across the country. i came out from the area where the gunmen killed 38 people and you notice there has been a problem. he managed to walk a long distance on the beach carrying an ak-47 opened fire and left the area. there was a patrol in it stationed nearby. this is why they managed to kill him. people are saying that this is most important sector this the economy, and it has to be protected by the government. the government says at the same

time it will try to deal with radicalization. which is why they'll clampdown on mosques operating outside the ministry of foreign affairs, but it will take time because human rights activists are concerned it could be used by the government. a delicate issue for the government. >> thank you very much for that coming up here on the newshour - climbing into controversy, a black female activist is arrested in south carolina for pulling down the confederate flag. also coming up... >> they do things differently in a tiny russian village. each making their own currency. the russian authorities are not happy about this. i'm rory challands, watch to find out more later, history for women at

interesting covering india, bangladesh and myanmar. where it was two days ago was behind the pakistan boarder, halfway through including karachi, that's where we got to. where the consequences of that suddenly leaped forward. we have 124% of the average so far. we are well ahead of where we should be. interesting. consequences of that is it fell heavily. mumbai was flooded as well. a meter of rain in approximately two weeks, and there was some people hindu pilgrims stranded because they weren't expecting the rain so early, this in the north-west of india, this is what happened last week in the last 48 hours, it changed. look at the brightness of the white cloud east of the bay of

bengal. what happened to the west. in the last 24 hours, no rain in carola, fair amount in myanmar, one or two in nepal. that's the case for the next week or so at least. thank you very much indeed for that the tiny national palau is fighting back against growing numbers much fishermen. it impounded a fleet of boats. as nick clark reports, palau wants to send a message to potential voters. >> reporter: the vietnamese boats were spotted in palau waters last month. on board eight tonnes of sea cucumbers and fish destined for the market. the vessels were towed out to

asian waters, never to be used again. palau is clamping down hard. in the last year 15 vietnamese boats have been captured with 25 tonnes of protected species on board. >> there are four vessels vietnamese boats burning right now, and the message is palau is no longer an option for voters, it has a marine line enforcement team, and we guarantee that you will return with nothing if you are caught stealing. in pal awe waters. >> reporter: palau is a tropical archipelago, lying in the midst of vast unpatrolled waters, an easy target for illegal fishing boats. it is seeking to protect rich seas, creating a marine conservation zone, putting 80% off limits to commercial fishing. for a nation calling itself an ocean state rather than an small island state, palau is defending its lifeblood. >> everything that drives palau's economy, food security, national security, involves the ocean in some way. with porous borders in

the philippines and indonesia, it's easy for the vessels to sleep in and out of palau's waters. because there's a rich history in conservation, there's a lot to poach. >> vietnamese fishermen were released and sent on their way on two boats loaded with fuel. the captain remains in custody. palau hopes the billowing system of defiance has the desired effect to keep the poaches out. you're why al jazeera. still to come two years after a building collapse in bangladesh survivors are still waiting for justice. tapping into the digital revolution. how now reforms could change the lives of cuba and an olympic champion -

welcome back, the top stories on al jazeera, queues at cash points in greece as they debate whether to supply emergency funding. it is separate to the bailout fought about kuwait says the man that carried out a suicide attack is a saudi national. on saturday there were mass funerals for 27 people killed in the attack.

tunisia put 1,000 extra police on tourist sites and beaches after a massacre at a popular resort. tunisians rallied. a gunman killed 38 people mainly tourists. before being shot by police. let's go back to the bailout. a political economist joins us live from athens. good to have you with us. we know the european central bank will hoed a meeting. will it continue to spr greek banks? >> it's hard to say. it all depends on the game that they want to play. if they want to ensure that greece will we main in the eurozone, i presume the message they want to send is they'll provide liquidity to the greek

banks, at least until the referendum. >> given that greek banks are relying on european funding it stay liquid why is alexis tsipras making the astonishing decision to put the bail out deal to a referendum. it seems like such a gamble. >> yes, it is absolutely a gamble on the part of the growing prime minister. it is essentially a machiavellian plot in order to remain in power, because he probably senses that his games were numbered. it is an s axe m referendum, to put it mildly because the bailout programme expires in a few days and it is uncertain as to what the greek people will vote on. >> indeed there's an i.m.f. repage due on tuesday, june the 30th. if greece doesn't make that

repayment, does it mean exiting the euro? >> no it will not necessarily mean exiting the euro but again it will depend on the course of action that christine lagarde want to take. all indications given from her so far is that she'll consider this as a default. a default meaning that greece will have severe problems tapping into international credit markets probably within the next 10 years. if it manages to get its offenses in order, it will not have access to the credit market. it has been on a disastrous course for the last five years, and the government decided to

engage in a major catastrophe. there's no other way to describe what is happening. >> okay. can i ask you, you are a greek, you are in greece. the grease government says that the measures imposed on it by europe are too harsh and will force the economy to contract and that is the reason it will not agree to a deal offered by european minister do you agree that the reforms offered are too restrictive. >> well, we could get into a long discussion as to what reform means within the context used by the euro masters and the i.m.f. representatives. these are reforms that essentially have destroyed the greek economy, sending it into a free fall. they have created unbelievable

extreme levels of unemployment so the bailout programme has been absolutely catastrophic. that cannot be denied. the question is how do you approach your negotiations with them in order to obtain a better deal. i think the way the greek government went about if went their own way. it was their own way for a lot of reasons. they underestimated their opponents, and at the same time overestimated themselves. that's a cardinal sin. you cannot do that in politics. the people have proven to be amateurs, and i think that growing people will pay the price. thank you very much indeed. cj speaking to us live from athens. >> u.s. and iranian diplomats are in vienna trying to reach agreement over iran's nuclear programme by a deadline on tuesday. if there's a deal it could mean the lifting of international

sanctions allowing more countries to resume trade. for some indian businesses lifting restrictions is the last thing they want. >> rice is one of many indian exports to iran. trade fell as indian companies are priced out of the market because other countries are doing business with iran. >> iran was importing 1.4 million tonne of rice it will this year not gross half a million. >> reporter: many countries used to export through other parties to get around restrictions. trades reached almost $5 million. now the worry is that a trade deal on the iran's nuclear programme negotiated with the u.s. will open up the market at india's expense.

for the past three years india brought oil from iran using indian rupees give the benefit of saving the deficit and using it to buy food and other indian product. if sanctions are lifted. some indian companies worry their business deals and exports. some believe iran trading with the u.s. is not a bad thing. members of an export association is urged not to worry their trade advantage will end. >> had there been a european president, we may not have had the market. >> reporter: india signed a deal to build a report in southern iran despite u.s. objections, using it to increase trade and countering china's growing presence. india is looking to use the port and its relationship with iran to build its presence into central asia.

>> india is interested in developing rail and road links, and leading up north to the borders. this will hope up a lot of business opportunities for india. as of now, business with iran accounts for less than 2% of exports. companies hope an indian built port will counterbalance the economy. also creating new markets for them. eventually eastern europe. >> survivors of bangladesh's worst extreme accident face a wait for justice two years after the tragedy. 1200 garment workers were killed when an 8 storey building in dakar collapsed. the building's owner and factory owner face charges, but they refuse to show up in court. >> reporter: this woman is no getting better. she was working inside the rana

plaza building when it collapsed. her arms were crushed under piles of debris. two years later she has to make regular hospital visits much >> translation: the rest of the world might be ready to forget what happened. you can't forget if you are suffering. i'm in pain every day, it's not easy to forget. >> the rana plaza disaster has been slipping from consciousness. few turn up at the memorial site. lack of public pressure means not as much attention is paid. to those responsible for the disaster, and their lack of punishment so far. >> translation: garment owners knew better, yet forced many to enter the building. they flouted so many rules with so many dying. >> justice has been far from swift. it's taken more than two years to complete the investigation.

>> criminal negligence involving powerful businessmen can take years in bangladesh, and in cases where there's a large number of death. a trial looking into the deaths of 300 children given fake medicine in 1991 was settled last year, 23 years later. delay was inevitable. says the public prosecutor. >> we were talking about historic crime of immense proportion. we have had to interview thousands of witnesses for six times. so from our point of view this is not an abnormal delay. >> that doesn't go down well with frustrated survivors. >> it doesn't look like the government wants to punish these people at all. i want justice, i want those responsible to be hanged. i want them to understand what my suffering is. >> while the police

investigation has been completed survivors and labour activists fear that a trial could take many decades it's a tough prospect for survivors who believe their government owes it to them to do better colombia's president blames f.a.r.c. rebels for what he calls the worst environmental disaster. the president santos says the group damaged an oil pipeline in a bomb attack on a port city in southern colombia. around 150,000 people have been left without safe drinking water after oil spilt into the mario river sharing selfies on social media and other quirks of the internet largely passed cubans by because only 3.4% of households are online.

know nothing of. >> reporter: this is the alternative, the telephone company's navigation center where people surf the web. you can stand here for hours, and you have to buy a guard costing $2, and allows you to surf for an hour. though cheeper than before the price is exorbitant on the average salary of $20. cubans are not allowed to have internet at home. while not legal, the resourceful cuban pace a foreigner for a home connection to buy him a line. the only option available - a painfully slow out dated phone line connection. in the meement there's the cell phone clinic where cubans go to down loot apps. an interactive guide to

restaurants and more. >> translation: the database included on the phone, because people do not have internet on the phone. >> reporter: that is set to change promises the government. according to cuba's first vis president, the state will guarantee secure and widespread use of internet for the development and will strive to make the resource available, access illegal and affordable to all. it's a major shift for a government that has been reluctant until now to grant access to millions of cubans impatient to join another revolution, the one linking them to the digital world. now, you won't find it in an exchange you won't really find it outside a tiny russian village. the collion is an invention that has russian authorities in a

and thrust of trading, the vital question is what is it worth? 10 eggs, two colions. this bucket of potatos, five. and a goose here a not unreasonable 60 thus the collion proved resilient to the storm buffeting the rouble. when purchasing power is pegged to the potato it doesn't matter what is happening in the money markets. this is a man with anarchist leadings making it difficult for authorities in the past. and they are non-too impressed. >> translation: they came last summer and winter and in spring and wanted to see the collion. i made them chop wood to earn it. we laughed. a month ago i was summonsed to court with words like urgently withdraw this money and destroy

it because it threatens russia's economy. his lawyer says the case against him is hopelessly confused. >> translation: the prosecutor himself, when i asked him, or the central bank representatives, no one explained why he think collion was money, or what criteria there was or that's what the claim was about. also they couldn't explain where they received the threat to the payment system of the russian operation. >> the next appearance in court is july the 1st. until then he's staying on the farm looking after his animals and relishing all the fuss. still to come - all the sport and another indy car race is full of crashes. no one was seriously hurt one driver says it's a matter of time before there's a fatality. details coming up.

conservationists estimate there's only 150 left in the country, a result of hunting, trafficking or loss of habitat. uganda is home to 11% of birds, and thousands of tourists flock here each year to see species including the african fishing eagle or the long-legged jucana. >> our small size has 50% of bird species on the continent. you can't find it anywhere. we have more species per square meter than any other part of the world. >> reporter: the bird-watching industry generates $6 million. with better marketing that could increase. now, many tourists say they have no idea where to go to see the birds, unless they have a good guide. >> you go on the highway. there's nothing to tell you anything about the birds. so animals - there's a good mark

of course, tourism. for birds, you need to do better they are beautiful birds. the world needs to know where to go. things are starting to change. tour operators developed a mobile phone app to provide information to tourists on the bird they may see on safari. uganda has an extraordinary resource with huge potential. after years of violence and turmoil, it's natural beauty and astonishing array of wildlife is making the country a draw for tourists. let's get the sport now. >> the brazil coach dunga blamed a virus affecting many of his players for their exit. for the second time in a row brazil was beaten on penalties at the quarterfinal stage.
