line. they've been kept afloat by emergency funding from the european central bank. or the e.c.b. added to the pressure on sunday by announcing that it would not provide extra support. also on sunday greek prime minister alexis tsipras called ministers together for an urgent cabinet meeting and renewed his request for an extension. bailout, confirming that capital controls will be imposed. athens has until tuesday to re pay $1.8 billion to the international monetary fund. from athens barnaby phillips has the story. >> reporter: they have come to the european union office in athens to shout defiance. the left wing protesters say no to a bail out, no to the imf. this crowd is small. a majority of greeks are frightened of what could happen in the coming days. the prime minister is struggling to reassure his people.

>> translation: what is required over the coming days are sobriety and patience. money in the greek banks is insured. the more cold-bloodedly we face these difficulties the quicker we overcome them the milder the consequences. >> as the prime minister spoke, more greeks were rushing to the cash machines to get money out while they could. sophia told us she'd been here for four hours waiting for the machine to be restocked. she said she never thought it would get like this the government has to go. so are we talking about a return to drachmas on sale at the athens flea market. beautiful old money. most greeks see eurozone

membership as proof of progress after the turmoil of the 20th century. grook people are in a difficult position. the government is telling it to vote no to what it says are insulting terms from creditors. the opposition warns it's the government that brought grook to the edge of catastrophe. >> imagine trying to run a business in this environment. the lighting company is doing well. it exports most of its lamps to other parts of europe and the middle east. the man in charge tells me the uncertainty is crippling. >> translation: if you don't have stability in business you can't operate. prolonged negotiations, where something different is going on it will happen outside, not just to the business me but customers as well. >> reporter: athens is humming with rumours about what will happen next.

euro or drachma, economic collapse or belated salvation. the week ahead could shape greece's destiny let's get more from john psaropoulos standing by in athens. the prime minister obviously tried to reassure people earlier, but the week ahead, to some degree is stepping into the unknown. >> t indeed. greece is sailing into u.n. chartered waters because it not only is having capital controls for the first time in its eurozone experience and a bank holiday tomorrow which we hear could be extended for six business days until next monday but because on tuesday it faces the repayment of an international monetary fund bond which the government or members so far suggested that they will - the government will not

honour, without an agreement with creditors. that has not taken place, despite a week of talks, and we expect that greece will choose to default, unless the european central bank - another of greece's creditors - agrees to spend money made on - money that was made on older greek bonds it purchased to repay that debt to the i.m.f. in other word one creditor paying another. there's no response on whether they will agree do it. going further into the week we have a climate of political uncertainty as greeks realise that the referendum that they are holding next sunday is in effect, in effect a referendum on euro membership or not. the question put is specific - will they accept a set of austerity measures proposed by

creditors last thursday - the broader implications of the answer affects whether they remain in the eurozone or not. if there is a yes vote it's unclear how greece will affect a new relationship with its creditors to help ensure it remains in the eurozone because its oversight and financial assistance programme ends on tuesday. it's a week full of financial sh legal senatories and it's raising more questions than anyone can answer at the moment. >> john what, is it that people are telling you, do greeks want to vote in the referendum or do they feel the government's abdi kating its responsibility. >> well, the government is abdi kating its responsibility. because it was elected in january to keep greece in the eurozone on better terms, not on the austerity terms of the past. it had a clear mandate and

recognised that this was the nature of its mandate. when it came down to a deal when it came down to the creditors coming back to the greece negotiating team in brussels last week with an offer that greatly approached what the greeks had put forward on monday of last week the greeks ultimately didn't take it. they walked away from it. they did not assume the responsibility of saying "this is the best deal we could negotiate. we are bringing it back to the greek parliament to decide on whether this being the only way forward with our creditors, we accept it or not. instead they went back to the greek people and said we don't think you should accept this. this prompted cries from the opposition of betrayal, suspicion, that the ruling leftists had a secret agenda to upset greece's remaining within the euro to derail what was its

course of recovery of balanced budgets the last two years of a return to financial markets last year and to ultimately bring about an environment of political and financial instability that would ensure that greece would have an exodus from the euro zone because this opposition members believe is a political priority for the ruling leftist. we shall see what happens this week. if the greeks decide to go for this package of austerity measures, it will translate into a censure for the ruling leftists, who will be revealed to have misread the popular will. john psaropoulos live from athens thank you dominik kane has the latest from the european central bank in frankfurt. >> reporter: after several hours

of discussions the central bank decided to maintain the emergency liquid assistance that greece had in place, agreed on friday. it's not clear whether any more money will be available to the greek central bank. it received a series of e l.a.s, some say to the tune of 89 to 90 billion euros. if it has not been drawn down perhaps there's some available. if it has, there's nothing more available. it's worth remembering that that sum is a drop in the o compared to the issue of insolvency that dogged greece during the crisis for several years. a development on sunday was that the german chancellor angela merkel is understood that she will hold a meeting with leaders of parliamentary parties at the german chancellery. if there is a long-lasting deal for greece a bail out, more money, it may need to be agreed by parliament around the

eurozone and, indeed the german parliament. angela merkel has a large majority there's by not means certain that she could put together a majority voting for money for greece and there's the issue about the stock market in europe and how will the dax and frankfurt open on monday. more from an associate economics professor. warm welcome to the programme. wh does the next week look like for you, from your perspective, how you think it will unravel. >> it will be a tough week for the people in greek. banks will be cut. there'll be capital control, no money will be taken out. there'll be a lot of anxiety as to what will happen in the next week and after that. we don't know what will happen. it will not be good. >> how do we get here. is there a larger debate that needs to be had, they just don't

work. the u.n. voted on it. we have seen it in other parts of the world. >> there is a need for a wider debate. the fundamental problem is that the eurozone as set up doesn't work. there's a common monetary policy and currency but nothing like it on the physical side, so if there's a problem with a country like greece the eurozone doesn't have the means to deal with that. we have seen over the last in my view years that it has not worked out well for greece. that's a long-term debate we need to have. how can we reform the us open but in the short run we need to fix the problem. the house is on fire. how can we put it out. >> do you believe the eurozone would let greece go? >> at this stage it's speculation, i don't know. my guess is as good as anyone.

there's a huge risk in letting greece go and i do not believe germany wants that to happen, greece doesn't want it to happen, the united states doesn't want it to happen. everyone has a common goal. how do we get there? >> we heard the prime minister making defiant statements and it's his belief that what is happening a part of a plot a ploy, whatever you want to call it to get rid of the government and replace it with one more amenable, one that eurozone ministers want. i'm asking you to speculate is there a truth in that or are we just in a great greek tragedy. >> it's his view. known if it's true. it doesn't matter if it's true. we need to get over the issues of personality clerks. -- clash, we have to talk about

the greek economy. the proposals will not be helpful. increase of bft will not help. it may be great in general, but not now. >> reporter: why haven't they focused on growth. it's about cutting and collecting taxes, why haven't they focussed on growth. >> i think because it would imply that they made a mistake. and the measures imposed are the same old thing we heard over the last five years. it has not worked. there's a lot of evidence that it's been bad for the greek economy. do you want to admit you have been wrong? it's about other countries down the line. what if other countries get in trouble, like spain, portugal italy and greece. this is something that the euro group is worried about. >> thank you for joining us with your thoughts.

we'll be glued to the stream in the next few weeks coming up on the newshour - people power in armenia. 50,000 take to the streets to rally against electricity hikes. counting the cost of violence in burundi, as the country gets ready for controversial elections. find out if sri lanka can stop pakistan piling on a large lead from the second test in sport later the deadline to reach a deal between world powers and iran over the nuclear programme is expected to be extended. a framework agreement was struck in april, but major differences remains on the details of the final deal. the iran foreign minister is returning to tehran for more consultations. james basereports from vienna.

>> the u.s. secretary of state john kerry face to face with his iranian counter part zarif much it was after this meeting that it was announced that mr zarif would return to tehran for consul sayings. experts are not clear whether there's a problem. >> could be there's a snag or a detailed programme on the table that he needs to take to tehran. the news that zarif was leaving came as others were arriving at the talks. german foreign minister steinmeier, the british foreign secretary philip hammond, and the e.u. foreign policy chief. >> i'm positive that if the strong political will will be there from all the parties

they'll get there. >> it will be tough. it has always been tough, but not impossible. it's all about political will. >> reporter: mr zarif's gat tur means the dead line is unrealistic. all sides seem relaxed fighters from the islamic state of iraq and levant have stormed several kurdish villages close to the northern syrian town of kobane. it comes a day after kurdish forces announced they'd push i.s.i.l. out of the town. for the second time this year. they go door to door searching for i.s.i.l. fighters. kuwait says a man that carried out a suicide attack on a mosque was a citizen of saudi arabia. he has been named. he landed at kuwait's airport hours before detonating

no. because i'm scared. it's probably what they wanted. i have two children at home that i miss. and, yes. >> translation: i feel sad for the tunisians who face hard times in the future. it's a country that needs to boost its economy so people can find jobs. >> the government says it will increase the number of troops it has on the streets, and will shut down mosques accused of inciting violence. for the tunisians that work in the tourism industry the march on the beach is a message of defines that they continue to work despite the uncertain times. this is where the gunman came from an open fire killing 38 people. the attack raises questions and led to an increase in security procedures in one of the most popular tourist destinations in

north africa now footage has been released of the attack on the beach. it appears to show the gunman running along the beach, away from the scene after the shooting. there's shouting for help. the gunman come close, the bystanders filming take cover themselves police in armenia are threatening to break uch a rally with a report of 50,000 on the streets of the capital. it's the ninth night of protests beginning in anger. armenia's president is promising the government will shoulder most of the 16% live. but has done little to apiece protesters that are unhappy with russian influence. let's talk to the managing editor of an independent online television network. can you tell me what it's like there this evening?

>> it's tense, the swags. it calmed down right now, as police had threatened to disperse the crowds at about 11:00p.m.. because there are thousands and thousands of people occupying a major thorough fare they seem to be tolerating a bit long are, but we have heard from different sources after 2am they'll start to use force to disperse the crowds. >> are the protesters - i'm looking at the pictures. are they from all different parts of society. it looks varied when i look at the pictures. >> actually this particular protest has shattered a lot of serial text that armenians will take unlimited abuse by the government. and it has really mobilized society. we have seen ordinary citizens intelentuals. we have seen opposition members. it really has created a very interesting dynamic, and changed

the narrative in armenia. the people protesting are not necessarily the people who can't pay, but they - they are very frustrated because of the process, and the lack of transparency. >> what is at the heart of this. i know originally it started because of the hike in electricity prices. what is really at the heart of it? >> certainly it was because of electricity. this is not the first time that electricity rates have been increased. most commodities and utilities are high compared to the living standards of the pop u laughings. the russian -- population the russian managed company accumulated debt and was acting the -- asking the citizens to shoulder the debt. and the commission decided to approve the appeal by the russian-managed company to increase the rate. but, you know there's a lot of undercurrent here this is

probably the straw broke the people's back. because of russia's influence. organizers were careful to say this is not a maidan an anti-russian protest. but, you know armenia joining the union and russia's influence, the fact it has a military base all were not vocalised but are at the core of the issue. >> the government offered to shoulder some of the cause, do you think it will apiece people. >> not at all. the president assistances that the government will bear the burden of the increase until an international audit is conducted. and people you know - they are pretty bright and understand that when the government shoulders the burden as you said earlier, they will be because it will be coming from the state budget. which is from their taxes. it did not apiece people. it made them more angry.

especially to the lower legs. >> everybody was running and pushing each other. we saw a lot of people whose skin was burnt. it is like hell. almost 200 were reported to have been seriously injured, some in a critical condition. >> translation: everyone was screaming and bleeding. there was blood everywhere. >> paramedics a were called to the scene. some were treated on the ground where are this lay. others made their way to the hospitals. in the morning, some of the parents arrived to be by their bedside. >> translation: just a small child that went out to have fun, now on the verge of death. >> reporter: his 18-year-old daughter suffered burns to 90% of her body. >> translation: today it's with a feeling of sorrow that i visit these people injured by the powder explosion.

government agencies sponsoring these things to private agencies - there'll be accidents. that's why at the moment agencies transport unmanned cargo. whilst it's a tragedy for the people that lose if something goes wrong, it's not a tragedy. and so from the accidents, the private companies like orbital skinses and spacex will learn from their mistakes and keep getting better to make sure what is happening again. >> is a danger of these failures for the politicians looking at funding this sort of thing, that they go off the idea because they think there's too much of a margin for error? >> especially with an agency like n.a.s.a. which is at the whim of the government. other space agencies have funding secured for a lot longer. at n.a.s.a. it can challenge every four years, which is -- can change every four years,

which is no time at all in terms of space science. some people will use this as an opportunity to say should we be funding this and will use it to change the way n.a.s.a. is funded and use it to stop space exploration or move in a different direction. spacex is trying to change things. how does that work? >> well at the moment space travel is pretty much one use only. imagine what the - what air travel would be if every time you took a flight you had to build a new plane and throw it away. that is what happens in space flight at the moment. what companies like spacex is trying to do is make as much of the process, recyclable and reusable. what they were attempting to do

with this launch was a launch rocket. that is the stage that has the fuel to get a probe into space. they planned to land that on a barge. it was the third time they were going to try to do this. they failed two times already and hoped to do better. something went wrong during the launch and it never made its way to all this. >> dr elizabeth pearson, thank you for joining us via skype from bristol police in afghanistan say they don't have the weapons or the ammunition to battle the taliban, saying foreign fighters are supporting the armed group as it gains territory in the north. they are taking over parts of tak ark r province. jennifer glasse reports from kabul. >> afghan officials travelled into this province by helicopter. the taliban controls roads and checkpoints in the area. they came for a security meeting to discuss how to push out the

taliban from two distributes. it's a battle involving foreign fighters including some that claim allegiance to the islamic state of iraq and levant,ar d.a.e.s.h. as the locals call it. >> there's a strong conflict between taliban and i.s.i.l. we can't confirm i.s.i.l. is fighting along side the taliban. there's no doubt in the past 2-3 days several foreign fighters have been killed. >> the deputy chief of the army says they have new forces in the fight. >> the president in afghanistan, the head of the forces gave us the authority for the operations. we can enter any house, shame on the foreign fighters bringing the women with them. >> it's not just the army fighting. afghan local police like these are on the front line and say they can't compete with an enemy that is better armed and equipped. >> translation: for two nights and three days they fought with

us. the government didn't support us. the enby vouched. they were scroping. -- enemy surrounded us. we ran out of ammunition and had to leave. >> reporter: the taliban released a video of fighters showing buildings that they had captured. the army said the taliban went from one distribute. but must be -- district but must be driven out from adjoining areas. >> they are in control of areas of lands south of kunduz. fighting in the east and south. the interior minister told parliament a reason security is volatile is week communications between army and police forces. they are fighting for the first time without the heavy weaponry and support they used to get from n.a.t.o. a record number of migrant rescue operations in the mediterranean is taking place now. 21 boatloads of migrants have been rescued. the biggest number in a single

for clean water. >> translation: this is not a life. we are humans. okay. we are not animals. >> reporter: many migrants say people smugglers are charging up to $2,200 to get them across the border, like this man who arrived not to be identified. >> by this restrictions and measures of the government you are supporting them. the governments of europe are fighting these people the macedonian police say they'll stop people entering the country illegally. as the number of migrants increases, so too, do the police patrols. some people do make it across and here in this town if they say they'll apply for asylum within three days they are given documents allowing them to use public transport. many make use of that to keep going. this young baby was born in the

in russia for village work, you used to get a bottle of vodka for village work. we are doing the same thing. we don't use vodka, we print pieces of paper. >> reporter: he and friends use it for loans and to trade goods and labour with each other. it means their real money can be saved for more ambition things like building a village bathhouse. for anyone interested in the cut and thrust of currency 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 leanings, 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 all laughed. suddenly, 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 they think collion was money, or what criteria there was for a money surrogate 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 federation. >> the next appearance in court is july the 1st. until then, he's staying on the farm, looking after his animals

and slightly relishing all the fuss. earlier this month researchers said the earth is in the midst of a mass extinction period linked to human activity. climate change pollution, hunting and destruction of habitat are causing the disappearance of animals of all kinds. in san diego, an animal at risk of extinction was visited. >> reporter: she's literally one of last of her kind. nola a white rhino, lives in the san diego's zoo safari park. >> nola is amazing. she's rare in that you can get close to her. nicky is one of the devoted keepers. >> she's a quite girl. >> reporter: frenzied demand drove the subspecies to the

>> reporter: barbara is the director of reproductive physiology at the zoo's institute for research. >> it's like a treasure chest. >> reporter: she's part of a futuristic rhino plan. >> she has cell lines, converted into stem cells, and then we could fertilise the eggs. we could potentially fertilise - have sperm and eggs from two animals that died many years ago, creating a new embryo translating into a white rhino. it sounds like science for example, but it's scientifically feasible. >> we are not doing it recklessly, we have science behind it among the criminals on ice in the frozen zoo are samples taken from nola. >> she may be a mother after all, perhaps, one day. >> we hope so yes. that's the goal. >> reporter: preventing poaching and preserving habitat are

essential to stop species disappearing. but with an assist from genetic scoips, the northern -- science, the northern white rhino may one day again roam wild, perhaps in a wider world. >> reporter: still ahead on the programme - all the sport, including another indy car race - more crashes. it's a matter of time until there's a fatality warns a driver - robin here in a pit. -- in a bit.
