u.s. company spacex whose unmanned rocket broke apart shortly after launching. welcome to the program. greece's prime minister has confirmed that the country's banks will keep their doors closed monday after a weekend which saw growing numbers of people queueing up to get their money. athens moves towards defaulting on a huge debt payment to the international monetary fund. the ecb added to the pressure sunday announcing it would not provide extra support. also on sunday the greek prime minister called his ministers together for an urgent cabinet meeting renewing his request for an extension of the bailout while reminding capital controls

will be imposed. >> the refusal of an extension of a few days is an insult and a shame to democratic europe. today i sent another application to the president of the european council. the 18 euro zone countries, and the head of the european central pac and the european paroleal. i expect them to respond. they are the only ones who can reverse the decision and restore liquidity to the banks. >> let's chat now to john who is our correspondent in athens. he's been following this storm over the weeks and months it's been happening. we heard the prime minister trying to reassure greek people earlier but just how worried is everybody about what this next week might bring? >>reporter: well greeks are

very worried. they've spent the last almost 48 hours with the news that greece is now going to have to decide essentially in a referendum whether it wants to stay in the euro or not. the specific question they face is whether greeks want to accept a package of austerity measures suggested to their negotiating team on thursday which the government has said it doesn't have the authority to accept or reject. everyone understands the broader question is do you want to stay in the euro zone so it's really a euro referendum by proxy. the government is lobbying very hard for a no vote. earlier this evening in response to the european commission's making that plan public which for some inexplicable reason the greek government didn't the government issued a rebuttal making absolutely sure that it's on the record about the points with which it disagrees in this

plan and putting itself firmly in the no camp. now, this is in a way playing it safe because if the ruling left wing party remains consistent with its re-election promise, no more austerity measures in greece and greeks decide to accept them they can say well the people have spoken but that also presents the government with a danger. but if there is a yes vote for the euro and for austerity measures the government's standing and the government's understanding of the popular will will then be put into question by the opposition which is already saying that if there is a no vote that will am to a vote of no confidence in the government and there should be an election. so the popular perception here is that whatever the result of sunday's referendum political turmoil remains ahead. >> and, john how do greek people feel about having to answer this question? do they feel that the

government's essentially just abdicated their responsibility? >>reporter: many do feel that way. some feel the government has upheld its electoral promises and stuck literally to the letter of what it said in january, that it will not accept any austerity and that is a red line. but the fact is that most people at least according to opinion polls, two-thirds want greece to remain in the euro zone and feel that they elected this government to negotiate greece's remaining in the euro zone on better terms. therefore, the government has stepped back from an authority which it was given and many believe that is an abdication of responsibility and an act of political cowardace.

by putting the package directly to the greek people it's elevated the level of political uncertainty here enormously and it's also done something else. it's dividing greek voters between the yes camp and the no camp and that is further eroding social cohesion here by bringing in political strife among voters which is essentially putting greece into a preelection mood and if you listen closely to the speeches made in parliament last night, politicians are now swinging fully into election mode believing that it's only now a question of time. >> john for that update thank you. .com nod or shake caine has the latest from the european central bank in germany.

>>reporter: central bankers here at the ecb decided to maintain the emergency liquidity arrangement that greece had already in place which was agreed on on friday. what's most clear is whether that means there will be anymore money available to the greek central bank because it's received a series of elas in recent months to the tune of perhaps 90 billion euros. if all that money has not been drawn down there perhaps is some available. if it has, there's nothing more available. now, that sum is a drop in the rogues compared to the issue of insolvency that has dogged greece. another development emerged sunday, the chancellor is going to be holding a meet leaders of parliamentary parties on monday. that's important because if there is any kind of long lasting deals for greece another bailout, perhaps more

money, and it may need to be agreed by parliament around the euro zone and indeed the german parliament. and although she has a grand coalition and a large majority, it is by no means certain that she could put together a majority which would vote in favor of anymore money for greece and then of course there's is issue about the stock markets around europe and the stock market here, how will that open on monday morning. the deadline to reach a deal between world powers and iran over its nuclear program is expected to be extended. a framework agreement was struck in april but major differences remain on the details of a final deal. iran's foreign minister is returning to at the ran for more consultations. >>reporter: the u.s. secretary of state john kerry face-to-face with his iranian counterpart.
