greece to repay $1.6 billion euro zone or $1.8 billion. we now know that it will not be repaid. greeks have been queuing to withdraw their maximum 60 euro limit from bank machines. barnaby phillips reports. >> this petrol station is closed until a tanker turns up with new supplies. we saw about a third of stations were closed, the result of panic buying over the weekend. but without the free flow of cash the greek economy could grind to a halt. >> translator: there's no shortage of petrol. there's plenty in the country but petrol stations need to pay the up front in cash now that the banks are closed. >> reporter: and for now the banks are firmly shut.

with confusion on the streets outside, some people could take the daily limit of 60 euros from the machines. others weren't so lucky. most vulnerable the pensioners. many of whom don't have bank cards. antonius 82, waits outside the bank to collect his pension with friends. >> translator: he heard a report it would open at mid day. it didn't. he waited an hour then gave up. >> reporter: so there are a lot of questions for greek finance minister although he wasn't answering them on his way in to work. instead, we heard accusations of betrayal from the european commission in brusms. brussels. >> translator: egotism made, i

feel a little betrayed because due consideration has not been given omy personal efforts and those of others who are numerous and made a sustained effort. >> reporter: in germany gervelg doesn'tangelamerkel doesn't want to go down as the minister who presided over the breakup of the euro zone. >> if the euro fails europe fails, we could forget them for a second maybe but i would say in the mid or long term we will suffer damage. we will suffer because we will not be a key player in the world anymore. that's why we have to call for compromises and principles in europe again and again. >> at dusk, thousands of government supporters came to central athens. oxi, they say greek word for no. it evokes images of fascism in

the mid 20th century. five years of austerity and seen no economic recover in sight. the consequence of defying europe could be catastrophic. but these people are prepared to take that chance. in practice there's such bad feeling between them that the chances of compromise are far slipping away. barnaby phillips al jazeera athens. >> and thousands of peep have gathered in the greek capital athens in support of the government position. these are live pictures coming to us from the greek square where thousands are calling for a no vote on that referendum set to stay place on sunday. john slop lust joins us siropolous joins us from

athens. >> i was downstairs talking to a group of students at the athens university of business a few minutes ago and asked them why they want to vote no. and their view that the incessant austerity votes lead nowhere but good. one lady put it to me this way we're going to end up selling our country piecemeal to foreigners, end up working on very low salaries, how are we going to get married pay for mortgages, and have our own families? these young people see only despair in the job market around them. even though they are working hard to complete degrees they are in no practical sense be of any use to them.

they are going to graduate into a job market that is degraded and doesn't value their skills. >> you know john warnings have been coming thick and fast from european leaders that this referendum that's going to take place on sunday is effectively a vote on greece's membership of the euro zone, do people there see it that way? absolutely. they do know everything is at stake, the fate of greece is being decided in the next few days and it's up to them to seize the moment to say we're no longer going to continue the vicious cycle of austerity measures leading to the necessity for more austerity measures. the trouble of this option is that an exit from the current financial oversight program by european creditors and even an exit from the euro doesn't end the nightmare of austerity for greece. because the country remains

over-borrowed and unable to service its debts which means that if it goes into a devalued national currency, that task becomes even more difficult. but these young people that i was talking to here say even that is preferable because at that point the greeks will have the ability to make their own policy changes. they will assume authority over their future once again and they can then at least begin orebuild. things may get worse in the short term but in the long term there will be a perspective for growth. >> all right john thank you very much indeed. john siropolous in athens where thousands have gathered, we know negotiations with european partners terminated, a referendum set for sunday on these specific conditions that have been laid out for the deal on the table. we'll keep an eye out on what's

happening there. top story the killing of egypt's top prosecutor barakat. he joins me live now from boston good to have you with us. this is not first attempt at targeting a senior official. >> good to be with you maryian. >> wonderful, just asking you this is not the first attempt to teargt a senior official in the past few years in egypt. but does the killing sphal some sort of turning point in the country? >> yes you're absolutely right marmayor yam. mariam. there has been a study campaign of violence waged by so-called

islamic militants against the army and more generally against the regime of president abdel fatah al-sisi. so this latest assassination the successful assassination of the prosecutor general doesn't so much in my mind represent a turning point as a success for this movement, something that has been trying to do for quite some time which is to wage this battle against the government. >> will they be able to do that? given the possible consequence of this attack? we've already seen a crack down on dissent in the country. what might the regime's response be now? >> yes, so it's very hard to see how the regime could respond more harshly to dissent than it already has. remember egypt right now is by many accounts, has a much more

constrained political space than it has at any point in its recent political history. we certainly know that the government and in particular the ministry of the interior has been quite assiduously clamping down on islamist activity. so it's art to see that that could intensify. the only thing i could imagine would be that the regime would become even more hyper-sensitive oany possible displays of islamism in society. so for example somebody walking around with a beard might now be a subject of suspicion in a way that they might not have been prior to this assassination. but like i said, the regime has been very alert and has been really doing its utmost to prevent these acts of terror. so it's hard for me to see what more they could do. which is of course what makes this latest attack so frightening. >> over the last few years certainly, events in egypt over

the last few years would suggest that president abdel fatah al-sisi has settled quite comfortably into power. aside from the threats he's facing from the muslim brotherhood there are other threats to his power in the country? >> oh well absolutely. remember it's not just the muslim brotherhood. we have an insurgency in the sinai which is quite significant in which the egyptian government and the egyptian army have been fighting quite fiercely. there are, you know, so it's not just the muslim brotherhood that represents a threat to this regime. and remember also that the muslim brotherhood has by now kind of splintered and there are these free agent groups of islamist sympathizing groups who are engaged in all sorts of terror vigilante jufghts againstvigilante justiceagainst police.

in terms of president sisi himself and his consolidation of power, in my view the major threat to consolidation of this regime is not necessarily acts of terror and assassinations like we saw today but more the increasing emiseration the inability of the government to right the ship of state and get the economy up again. there is a lot of hope that the new suez canal should be open in august if something goes wrong there then one could imagine that that would further destabilize the country and this particular regime. so i think the major sources of threat to the consolidation of the new order really do lie in the economic realm. it's the same problem that egypt

has faced for the last 30, 40 years, every regime is going to rise and fall based on how well they can do for their citizens. and so far this government has been struggling. >> tarek massoud, thank you for sharing your analysis with us. now coming up for you in this al jazeera newshour, i.s.i.l. may be gone from their town but residents from one region in the area say they now fear another conflict. we'll explain why. israel intercepts an international aid ship. and now all the sport serena williams, takes the first step to doamghts domination of all tennis

sunday. al jazeera's diplomatic editor james bays last more from vienna. >> described the atmosphere of these talks as like a roller coaster and it's true, the last few hours have been pretty low tempo compared to the frantic hours earlier. that's because many of the foreign ministers have left vienna apart from the u.s. secretary of state john kerry. three have left because the iranian minister is in tehran. this is in many ways the most important day of this very long process, because he is speaking with the leadership in iran, including the supreme leader. i asked one expert the awhat he thinks iswhat hethinks is going on. >> the requirements of the deal which were spebl were acceptable for the

p-5 plus one, he had to go back and see if there is any flexibility. the second possibility is that there was a new proposal from the p-5 plus one that zarif didn't have instructions for and have to go back for consultation. the third which is overlapping with the first two is the fact that both rouhani and zarif were compelled to have consultations with the supreme leader so they alone don't accept accountability for whatever the accountability here, failure or success. >> everyone agrees that the talks will go past the deadline which were supposed to be on tuesday. however, tuesday will be the important day with the return of sergey lavrov and zarif. >> use of a controversial drug

in paris. this is not only country where uber has been facing backlash. is this likely to get worse? >> it doesn't surprise me. france is a country with very strong trade unions. a company like uber coming in and expecting a country to roll over, in favor of an offshore upstart doesn't surprise me. i think we'll see more of it. some think it rolled over and died, obviously it hasn't. >> you have uber, you have airbnb, a lot of different businesses stringing up -- not a good choice of words in this case. but, you know, effectively they're more efficient making use of spare capacity whether it be flats that are vacant, or cars that could be made available to hire. but the problem is that they're not subject to the same regulations and costs that other businesses are. how -- i mean how difficult is it going to be to bridge that?

>> it's not a level playing field, i think that's the problem with all these sharing-economy businesses. the platform is clever and disruptive. the problems are they don't have the responsibilities and it's unfair of the incumbent businesses that they have to carry the cost. for london it is for carrying the cab driver cost. they have to carry these costs and yet these cities are letting these sharing-economy businesses just come in and start up. they are quite rightly quite angry about it. >> will the companies like uber have to be subject to the cost that other businesses face and will that perhaps stop them from growing or even surviving? >> i think it's going to halt their growth a bit. in california, uber lost a case and a person driving for them

has been determined to be an employee. whether it's in london or paris or new york or mexico city or wherever, they want to roll in the city and i think in return you have to be a responsible part of the city and that includes looking out to the people who are going to use your services, not just providing but using them. >> looking at uber more is closely, there is a darker side to this isn't there? >> issues with people have accidents, attacks on women particularly an attack on a woman in deli. a traditional company or the licensing authority in london or new york or somewhere would follow that up immediately. uber's view is you're largely on your own if that happens and they don't want to get involved unless they have to. there is not that sense of responsibility to not only their users but also their service

providers. >> okay kate bevan, thank you. a solar powered plane has finally the set out on its next leg of its attempt to cross the pacific. its departure has been postponed several times because of poor weather. finally plenty more still ahead for you from the al jazeera newshour, all of that in your sport plus a new art exhibition dedicated to the later works of american artist jackson pol pollack. more on that later.

peru heads into the match having crushed bolivia in the quarter-finals. there is a long history between the sides but account for little once play gets underway. >> i don't see this in a complex way. the bottom line is, in the match we are 11 against 11 and we are the people participating in the spectacle. and i brief that we are professional enough to face this match both the chilean team and a peruvian team. we can put on a good show. sw. >> on tuesday the two most successful teams preparing to go led to head. >> germany and the u.s. the only two curches to win the world cup twice. germany has scored 20 goals in their five games so far but come back victory over france on

of almost exclusively black. the black pourings were made with sticks and bubble syringes used for basting food but the style is still there. the unrepeatable gesture. as pollack's alcoholism progressed, his work slowed. again a departure from previous. color is reintroduced and the artist whose name is synonymous with abstract expressism is expressism is so expressism is so recognizable. >> address for our website is aljazeera.com. that's it for me. my colleague felicity barr will be here, a full bulletin coming
