greece scheduled a referendum for sunday on whether or not to accept europe's terms. emergency cutoff a credit line to greece, the move had already caused panic over the weekend sending people atms in droves, and they were taking out so much money the greek authorities imposed a 60 euro limit per day. >> as we drove round the city we saw about a third of stations were closed. the result of panic buying over the weekend. is but without the free flow of cash the greek government could grind to a hold. >> there is no shortage of petrol in the country but the patrol stations need to pay for it in cash now that the banks

are shut. >> now the banks are firmly shut. 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 carts. antonius 82, waits outside the bank to collect his pension with his friends. >> he heard a report it was open at midday. it didn't. he waited an hour, then gave up. >> soreso there are a lot of questions for greek finance minister though he wasn't answering them when he went to work. instead we heard accusations of betrayal from the european commission in brussels. >> translator: egotism plop last games took precedence, and

my efforts and those of others, i feel a little deprayed because due consideration is -- betrayed because due consideration is not being made to a sustained effort. >> in germany, angela merkel doesn't want to go down in history as the minister who presided over the breakup of the euro. >> if the euro fails europe fails. we have to fight for our principles. otherwise we will suffer because we will not be a relevant partner in the world anymore. >> reporter: but in greece alexis tsipras tomentd national told government television that he's upholding their values. >> translator: i am under the impression that the creditors are be confused, they do not want a referendum in greece. they don't want any noes.

>> the prime minister's supporters those urging a no on the referendum were out in force in central greece. in greek no is oxi with resonates with defiance. these say if anyone has been betrayed it is the greek people who have endured five years of austerity and see no economic recovery in sight. the consequences of defying europe could be catastrophic. but these people are prepared to take that risk. in theory, there's still time for a last minute deal between the greek government and its creditors. in practice, there's such bad feeling between them that the chances of compromise are fast slipping away. barnaby phillips, al al jazeera athens. >> 77% of the gross domestic product, wholesale retail

prayed communicates, public administration defense and social security along with tour i. 4% of the gdp comes from agriculture, forestry, hunting and fishing. greece is the leading somewhereers producer of olive oil and pistachios. facing what he calls a death spiral, puerto rico, he session the country needs to postpone its debt payments for years. the white house says there will be no debt bailout for puerto rico but will determine about the country is eligibility for chapters 9. andy gallagher reports. >> he talked about the nation pulling together but the essence of his speech was that puerto

rico can simply not continue in the same vein. it cannot generate enough money to pay back its debts and all that means major restructuring and major pain for this island. one of the things he did say is that he wants the u.s. to allow puerto rico to declare chapter 9 bankruptcy. under the current rules that is not allowed to happen. puerto rico is a commonwealth. it doesn't come under the main line united states. but all that means is there is no really good scenario here. cuts to education the university is going to go through 50% cuts in the next few years, it means teachers will be laid off teachers who get 30 days paid vacation, will go down to minimum and there is really no good scenario here. they owe $73 billion the governor himself said they're heading towards a death spiral. this is an extremely series situation, one that has been in

the making for years. for the past eight years the puerto rican economy has been stagnant unemployment is about 15%, and you have people leaving the island to get better jobs and that reduces the tax base. so whatever happens, whatever negotiations are done over the next few hours and days with the creditors, puerto rico really is in for hard times in the years ahead. >> andy gallagher in san juan. john mudd is a lawyer and partner at puerto rico clearinghouse. the organization provides independent research and analysis to restructure the commonwealth's debt. he joins us from puerto rico. john good to have you with us. why is puerto rico such an economic mess? it has been in recession for a better part of a decade. >> there are many reasons really. bad political administration, 936 corporations, which was a tax break for have -- by the

congress. it was phased out by 2006. construction fell down. the bubble that the united states had over housing happened in puerto rico about a year before. so we had all those problems. the american economy slowed down. and that sloatd slowed down the puerto rican economy a lot. we simply don't have the entrepreneurial spirit to bring about the changes that are needed from the public, from the private sector. >> and tonight the governor said that there's simply no choice, that he cannot stop paying police and teachers in order to pay the debt. so do you think puerto rico will succeed in finding some sort of a negotiated settlement and avoid default? >> i don't think so. the problem is that of the 73 billion basically we have about $23 billion that are cawgd called

g.o.s, general obligation, a constitutional obligation to be paid. if you can't pay everything you first have to pay the bond holders. >> so what would the consequences then be for first for people on the island and then for people on the mainland? because three out of four municipal bond funds in the united states own puerto rican bonds. >> well, for the puerto rican people any problems with the bonds creates problems in the government. and since the government employs 28% of the people in puerto rico it will create a hoouch huge huge cash flow problem. as to people in the united states, there are a lot of retirees that have bonds from puerto rico, they pay pretty well and they pay triple attention. that's why many of the bond holder companies and hedge funds have been saying don't give puerto rico chapter 9. >> and so well, all right. let's talk about chapter 9, that

is one of the things the governor mentioned today. he compared puerto rico to detroit and new york and said hey they are able to go into chapter 9 and come out of it and why not states or puerto rico? >> well, we're not eligible for chapter 9. number 2 detroit was eligible, new york never did go into chapter 9. in those days in '75 i believe the law did not allow it. what happened was new york state made a financial commission for new york city and actually held them out. something like congress did for d.c. in 1995 to 2001. which i think is a better proposal than what the governor is doing. >> is asking for. now what if the economy does get worse and people keep struggling, are you going to see more of an exodus of people moving to the mainland? >> oh yes. you see it allot here, the population is age as it is in

the united states. but here, the problem is that anybody who gets out of the university and many talented people can get three four times what they would make in puerto rico, they could get in the states. and taxes are -- nurses are leaving in droves. doctors, you can't get a specialist to give you an appointment up until six months. you have to wait six months or more to get an appointment and that's a problem. >> john mudd it's good to have with you us, we'll stay on top of the story. thank you we reesht your insight. president obama offered assistance to the government of tunisia. teungsian authorities have made several -- tunisian authorities have made several arrests. hashem ahelbarra has more. >> reporter: a show of solidarity with tunisia.

french british and german ministers pay their respects to the people who were gunned down in the coastal city of sousse. the victims are mainly from europe. the governments say they will help tunisia in its fight against armed groups. >> and we have had a meeting this morning with my interior minister colleagues, which was shown the determination that we all have to fight against this perverted ideology that is causing this death and destruction. we are very clear that the terrorists will not win. we will be united in working together to defeat them. but united also in working to defend our values. >> more than half of the victims are british. prime minister david cameron had this to say after attending a

government emergency meeting in london. >> these were innocent holiday goers. the most brutal attack against british in many years. >> president asimsisi promised to crack down on extreme is. and crack down. the authorities have arrested a group of suspects . >> we started to arrest a number of those who we will not identify but we will say they are not tunisian. everything is still open and all questions are still valid. we are still in the beginning of our research. that's why we can't give journalists all the information yet. as our information is still incomplete. >> reporter: a ministry campaign is still underway against fighters in the shambi mountains on the border with algeria. but taking on these groups won't be an easy task.

in march 22 tourists were killed in an attack targeting a museum here in the capital tunis. i.s.i.l. said it was behind that attack. the armed group has also said on social media that it's responsible for the stack in seufs but thatsousse but that hasn't been confirmed. tunisian investigators are under mounting pressure to find out whether the dwunman gunman who killed 38 tourists on the beach at sousse was acting alone or with groups. hashem ahelbarra, al jazeera tunis. >> on this anniversary a new report documents the number of execution i.s.i.l. has carried out in syria alone during its rise to power. the london based syrian power

said i.s.i.l. executed 223 people were executed during that attack. meanwhile i.s.i.l. for first time is now reportedly make significant gains in afghanistan. officials today said fighters loyal to the group have seized territory in nangarhar province. witnesses say they also torched opium poppy filed that helped fund taliban's campaign to overthrow the government. the fighters are believed to have seized at least six province he from the taliban. the deadline nears. why negotiators may have to extend negotiations with iran. and later, the campaign against boko haram leads to

deadly result. in chad.

>> the deadline for iran and six world powers to reach a deal to limit iran's nuclear program is less than 24 hours away. and it's looking more likely that the negotiations will go on past that deadline. diplomatic editor james bays has more from vienna. >> reporter: one u.s. official has described the atmosphere of these talks like a roller coaster. and it is true, these past hours have become more a relaxed atmosphere ministers have left because the iranian foreign minister zarif is in tehran. even though there aren't many meetings, this could be the most important day of this long process because he is speaking to the leadership in tehran, including the supreme leader and the president.

i asked one expert who has covered this whole process very closely what he thinks is going on in tehran. >> one explanation is that the requirements of the deal that was acceptable for the p-5 plus one was pushing against red lines of the supreme leader of iran and he had to go back for consultants andconsultations. the second possibility was there was a new possibility for the pierchthep-5 plus one that descreech that zarif didn't have instructions for. and the third close consultations with the spreed leader so they alone don't accept accountant for whatever the outcome is, failure or success. >> everyone here agrees the talks will go on after tuesday

however tuesday will be the arrive of sergey lavrov and zarif. >> we're joined by senior white house correspondent mike viqueria. mike. >> they are conceding the june 30th deadline is going to come and go without a final deal. remember in april april 2nd they came to the interim deal, many felt the heavy lifting had been done, the white house i pointed out the deal came two days after the last deadline. they are trying to play down the angst that the day is going to come and go. the heavy lifting still some in place. the red lines from ayatollah khamenei by international nuclear inspectors, the iranians say it's not going to happen.

the west assist insists that it will. the west insists that sanctions are going to be eased over time, after a deal is reached with iran if a zeal is reached with iran, and iran is insisting it will be lifted day 1. josh earnest was trying to stay positive, trying to say the administration will stay tough in the final phase of the negotiations. >> after more than a year and a half of negotiations, we have got the final agreement within our sights. but ultimately it's going to require some serious commitments by the iranians to shut down every pathway they have to a nuclear weapon and the most comprehensive lock downs and whether they are serious to make those commitments. >> as james reported, talking with international inspectors he says everything is still on the

table. nothing has been decided quite yet. antonio. >> now mike, congress is also keeping a close eye on this. have lawmakers said anything about the possible extension of the talks? >> it's touch and go. and as we approached the interim deadline we saw intense negotiations between the white house and leading republicans as to whether congress will have a vote on this up or down. the critics are still seizing on this latest delay the june 30th deadline evidently coming and going. they think it's a bad idea to begin with and not just congress antonio. prime minister benjamin netanyahu famously addressed the congress, warning against the deal with iran. he has also been vocal in the last several hours against deal that may or may not be emerging

in vienna. be antonio. >> currently a fellow at the washington institute one of the signatories calling for a strong deal with iran. ambassador always glad to have you with us. you have said that you are worried the administration will rush to a signature and cave in to what you have described as recent and severe red lines by the ayatollah. has the administration responded to your letter? >> the administration has. the letter was provided in advance to administration officials and many of us have worked with this administration. the response was positive but general. essentially, officials in the white house and the state department said, we want the same things that the people that wrote this letter want. we don't doubt that the president would like the deal he talked about on april 2nd or the deal we laid out in the paper but we think there's a

real possibility that the president will get any deal that the ayatollahs grant limb or are willing to go along with and we will see compromise after concession after compromise and that's what we're worried about. >> let's talk about those red lines. mike mentioned the inspection of military installations. today an administration official has been widely quoted, that the entry point isn't that we must get into every military site. that has been reported as i said widely. the media outlets are jumping on that that the administration is caving to the grand ayatollah saying we won't have to go to all the military sites. what is your reaction? >> first it is not we the americans, it is the international atomic energy agency. a highly professional group of pros who know how to inspect and track down possible violations of atomic energy agreements.

and they would only want to go to a military site if they had absolutely verifiable confirmed intelligence that something is amiss there that something is going on there that shouldn't. it is not an arbitrary act by us or anybody else. it is a scientific effort to try to track down what we know the iranians have done in the past, weaponization that they did again, as they did start nuclear enrichment without revealing that. of course we have to have access to these sites. >> you want the negotiations to continue until there's a good deal. that the red line shouldn't be inspected, but if there isn't a good deal, it changes things, because congress will have 60 days to review it instead of 30 days, that means more time for opposition to grow here and in iran the iranians aren't going to be happy because that will delay the lifting of sanctions.

if this goes on for too long couldn't that be a problem? >> i don't think so. 30 or 90 days, we have been negotiating with the iranians at least the european union since 2003. one more month 60 days versus 30 days is not important. we need to stay at the table in veen napvienna until we had at least the agreement the president thought he had on the 2nd of april. it won't be a good agreement it might be a better agreement than the alternatives. to set up a yet another arbitrary deadline which is the 9th of july to get whatever agreement that the iranians are willing to offer us at that point that would be a huge mistake, take the 60s days. >> ambassador, the military measures will be taken from iran getting a bomb if it gets o, that if there is no agreement how great does risk war grow,

not just with u.s. and israel but the sunni divide is worse than it's ever been. >> there is possibilities for conflict all around the region but specifically on a nuclear account. the only state that could do real damage on an iranian rush to a nuclear possibility would be the united states. this has been our policy that president obama has reiterated many times. he just also questions the military option constantly at the same time. so this leaves be confusion in our minds and confusion in the minds of the iranians. that's not good. >> ambassador james jeffrey always good to have you with us, thank you. as the iran nuclear talks reach a climax the sister of a marine has petitioned for his release. his death sentence were later

overturned. sarah hekmadi says her brother is innocent. >> diplomacy moving forward with the deal would probably make it easier for amir. unfortunately our family resists the idea that amir should be even associated for something he last nothing to do with. we keep putting pressure, whether it goes well or not amir's case needs to be addressed and he needs to come home. >> being hekmadi has been held for 1400 days. why the daylight killing of the country's top prosecutor could mark the escalation of a violent campaign by islamic groups. and as the greek debt crisis reaches a climax,en a look at argentina and its own debt default.

>> welcome back to al jazeera america. i'm antonio mora. coming up in this lax hour of international news-z half hour of international news, why tons of food given to the be nepalese people are being given away. the block will remain in effect until the high court decides if it will hear an emergency appeal from several clinics. that could come as early as this fall. another victim of the church shooting in charleston, south carolina has been laid to rest. the funeral for 59-year-old myra thompson was held at the emmanuel ame church. firefighters in eastern washington state are looking to control a wildfire that has

burned through 3,000 acres. hundreds of people have been be forced from their homes. now trowrng our returning to our top story, the greek debt crisis. president obama spoke with francois hollande and angela merkel today. cps the financialthe financial crisis is triggering be crisis on markets. >> the u.s. exposure small in terms of our direct exposure. for that reason, this was even true sort of at the previous height of the greek crisis back in 2010 and 2011, that greece does not pose a major risk to our banking system. >> greece is not the only nation

that has had to face financial ruin. argentina still struggles with its debt today and what that can mean for greece. protests erupted in athens against further austerity measures. greek banks are closed, an emergency move to save them from financial ruins as greeks desperately tried to remove their money. in 2001 the country of argentina couldn't pay its debts. funds ostay afloat came with a catch. spending cuts and austerity measures that were deeply unpopular. when argentina failed to meet its deficit targets creditors cut off payments. a bank run led to a freeze on deposits and long lines for cash. the discontent led to street demonstrations some turned

violent. argentina defaulted on $93 billion in sovereign debt. the mispayment led to a sharply destabilized peso. >> for argentinian people, the default didn't mean a real change. they continued to use the same currency the country continued to operate under the same circumstances. for greece it's going to be quite different. >> that's because argentina is rich agriculturally. it has oil and gas reserves that could make it self-sufficient. on the other hand greece relies heavily on imports and does not have argentina's resources. it also faces other challenges. should greek citizens vote to leave the european union the country would be forced to revert to its old currency,

drachma, in greatly devalued form. that could spell disaster for private sector because its finances are tied to the euro. greek banks could become insolvent immediately. >> translator: greece is at the most critical moment of its modern history faced with a disaster true disaster unpress accidented in times of peace. >> joining us from buenos aires emily hirsch. good to see you again. ffts they seemthey seem to skirt over the fact that what came at the turn of the century, it didn't get out of its great depression. >> right, well i think that what needs to be sort of taken very seriously is that argentina was in a crisis or was in a deep depression for about three or 74

years preceding what -- three or four years preceding what we saw was a crisis in 2001. then argentina had two types of crisis a currency crisis and a bankingbanking crisis. they unpegged or left the 1 to 1 dollar peso currency board. they devalued their currency if 75% lfnlg overnight. what we are looking at with greece is somewhat of the same thing. they have been in a depression for quite some time, high unemployment for quite some time. they essentially can't devalue their currency or let a little bit of inflation soften the economic below. but greece should look at argentina's two decisions separately. do they default on their debt and do they leave the euro zone. furthermore greece is essentially in a situation where the most recent i guess drama from this crisis comes from the

recent elections in this january, of a prime minister who essentially promised them they could have two things. he promised them they did not have to take on austerity, cut a lot of corners and he promised them they could stay in the euro zone. what we are seeing now is an economic possibility that those propositions may not be able to coexist. >> if greece has the euro, if it ended up dropping the euro things could be very different and much harsher than in argentina. >> right. >> despite greece should follow argentina'sargentina's example greece is in a far worse position than argentina was. >> it is in a far worse situation because leaving the euro is unprecedented. we haven't seen yet a currency

union form and then a member leave. the markets essentially would punish greeks more than other cases because this simply has never been seen before. secondly, argentina was able to benefit from a decade of higher commodity prices and the fact that it's a much larger economy than greece and it was essentially able to regain global competitivity. whereas greece imports a lot -- >> despite all that emily greece was able -- argentina,'s economy isn't what anyone would argue is a great success story. >> no, i mean argentina's success story i would say is the facts that it was able to recover its monetary independence and sort of regain having the peso not be tied to the dollar. that being said, the default has not been resolved and

argentina's decision not to be in international capital markets right now is largely political. an administration uses the fact that it stands up to international creditors, it stands up to the imf as a political tool to maintain support with the power bases here. so if you see greece try ofollow argentina's example over the long run you could see a default leading to 15, 20, 25 years of being locked out of international capital markets and thus being unable to fund large infrastructure projects, for example unable to fund oil and gas projects. so you sort of see a situation where populism in argentina has led to a long term problem so when you hear economists argue that by leaving the euro -- >> we are seeing something similar in the greece with the populism there. we'll have to leave it there
