weekend, barnaby films is in athens where anger is growing over the predicament. >> reporter: they have come to the european union office in amount ends to shout their defiance. these left wing protesters say no to a bailout. no to the i.m.f. but this crowd is small. a majority of greeks are simply frightened of what could happen in the coming days. and the prime minister is struggling to reassure his people. >> translator: what is required over the coming days is sobriety and patience deposits in greek banks are fully insured as are the payment of pensions and salaries. whatever difficulties might arise should be faced with resolve. the more coldbloodedly we face these difficulties the quicker we will overcome them and the milder the consequences. >> reporter: even as the prime minister spoke, more greeks were rushing to the cash machines to get money out while they still could. sophia told us she had 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 really talking about a return to these drachmas on sale at the athens flea market. beautiful over money but it doesn't evoke much nostalgia. most greeks see euro zone membership as proof of progress after the turmoil of the 20th century. greek people are now in a very difficult position. their government is telling them to vote no to what it says are inning cutting terms from foreign creditors. the opposition warn that his it's the government that has brought greece to the edge of economic catastrophe. imagine trying to run a business in this environment. this lighting company is doing well. perhaps because it exports most of its lamps to other parts of europe and the middle east. but the man in charge tells me the uncertainty is now

situation calling this emergency referendum with banks having been shut for the entire week up to the vote, he would have balked at that i would imagine a week ago. and he is very much on the back foot now. ultimately if there is a vote next sunday in greece, and that's a long way away still many things could happen before then, i think the greek people will have for evaluate who they believe, do they believe their opposition parties who are saying greece, this is a vote to stay in the euro or in the drachma, make no illusions about that. or do they believe alexis tsipras, when he says no, no, no, this is a vote on whether we want more austerity or not. and a no vote in a referendum would strengthen my hand in renewed negotiations with the creditors. that's an uphill task in my opinion no the prime minister to make his version of the situation the facts facing groce

mere plausible than the opposition at this point in time. >> in the meantime the greek banks remain closed. this is afternooning not just domestic households, but also greek businesses. and presumably visitors and tourists to greece as well. >> reporter: that's the big concern, one of the few shining lights for the greek economy in recent years certainly last year was a record number of tourist visits, it's about a fifth of the overall economy. i think there were people in the greek government who were very worried by pictures coming out yesterday of worried tourists joining those long cash point queues that you saw in my report report. that's why explicitly in the announcement that came in the early hours of this morning the greek government saying to foreign visitors, don't worry your cards won't be subject to the same restriction that his greek bank cards are in the

coming days. but people understand that the situation is changing all the time. and words of reassurance will only get you so far. anecdotally, my e-mail box this morning has several messages from friends in the united states who are planning to come to imprese in the coming days, asking for my advice on what to do. and the best i can tell them is to monitor the situation very carefully, but bring plenty of euros cash. >> indeed. by, thank you for that. barnaby phillips in athens for us. world markets have been reacting to the weekend's events in greece as they began trade on the ground monday. in asia stock markets fell sharply as greece shutdown its thanks and imposed capital control. tokyo stacks down through bee%. the euro down by 2%. the u.s.
