to breach the naval blockade on gaza and dali-lama wows the crowds at one of the largest music festivals. ♪ share prices around the world tumbled in reaction to a growing crisis in greece where the banks and and stock markets shut down a week and wiped off the value of companies and germany's main stock exchange opened 4% down and bank customers in greece where greece closed the doors on monday they are desperate to stop a run on the banks and concern has been growing since the government announced referendum on bail out deal that want cutbacks in return to cash and in the past few minutes the president has been speaking about the crisis in greece and

defending the eu and says the eu doesn't deserve criticism for not being able to reach a solution and says greece has an attitude not worthy of the great greek nation and the nation is not being given the true picture and we will speak to john in athens and john many greeks worried about the facts that banks have closed, the stock exchange has closed and they have restrictions on the amount of money they can actually withdraw from atms. >> that is right, the withdrawal is 60 euros per kurd per day and of course as you said those banks will be closed for a week so you can't make physical withdraws going inside to the teller. there will be normal web banking and phone banking in the country but not internationally and credit cards will operate as normal. we don't know what the restrictions are set at for companies and is the key because

consumers can probably get by a week for the basis they have been withdrewing in weeks in anticipation of a bank crisis like this one and knew there would be a confrontation with creditors and don't know if businesses will be able to transact and remain open and trade normally that is something the bank of greece still has to clarify there is obviously a different set of rules for enterprises than there is for individuals but the worst case scenario is with banks closed for a week there may be no international transactions on the corporate level for that period of time either julie. >> that will affect the greek economy and they are saying eu doesn't deserve the criticism that has been directed its way and that seems to be a reference to the greek government saying the reforms that the eu wants are completely untenable. >> well the greek government

put forward a proposal on monday by was mulled over for a couple of days and what creditors including the eu came close to the greek good evening positions and there are of course important conditions and the greeks do not want 23% rate on restaurants and hotels because that hits the tourism industry and half of the economy here and the greeks did not stay to thrash it out further and stayed on for another day but on saturday they left as the euro group president said while talks were still in process taking everybody by surprise so i think what he is implying here is that the greeks are trying to disguise the fact they got something fairly close to what

they themselves had proposed maybe not 100% but didn't have the guts after that to bring it back home and put it to the greek people with their signature on it even though many people fell this was a document the greek government could have defended in parliament and i think what he and other creditors are now guarding against is being painted as the people who made the agreement end possible. i think the war of words between greece and its creditors is probably going to ramp up during this week's referendum. >> thank you for that john updating us from athens there. now egypt's public prosecutor has been injured in an attack and a bomb targeted his car behind a military academy in the capitol cairo and he and three others taken to the hospital and was appointed to the general in 2013 and froze the assets of 15

means that the israelis have broke international law again and means they took us as prisoners acting like pirates. it means again they have prevented us to reach gaza and reach palestine and means that we are now sitting there and waiting for you to act and we are waiting on our government to act, we are waiting the international bodies to act. israel's prime minister praised his navy for detaining activists on the flotilla. >> protest at the state of israel, the only real democratic state in the middle east to fight against terrorist and deliberately fired citizens and deliberately hide behind civilians and this flotilla has democracy. >> began in 2007 after hamas won
