barnaby phillips has more from athens. >> this petrol station on the edge of athens is closed until a tanker turns up with new supplies. as we drove around the city we saw about a third of stations were closed. the result: panicked buying over the weekend without the free flow of cash the greek economy could grind to a halt. >> there is no shortage of petrol. there is plenty in the country. but stations need to pay for it up front in cash now that the banks are closed. >> 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 who don't have bank cards. antonious, i didn't 2 waits outside the bank to collect his pension with friends.

he heard a report it would open at mid day. >>. it didn't. he waited an hour then gave up. so there are a lot of questions for the 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 brussels. >> egotism took precedence over aspects. after my efforts and others involved in the process, i feel a little betrayed because due consideration is not being given to my personal efforts and efforts of others who are very numerous and made a sustained effort. >> in german angela merkel doesn't want to go down in history as the leader who presided over the break-up of the eurozone. >> if the euro fails, europe

families. we have to fight for our principles. we could forget them for a second maybe but in the mid or long-term, we would suffer damage. we will suffer because we will not be a key player in the world anymore. that's why we have to call the compromises and principles call for them again and again. >> reporter: at dusk thousands of government supporters came to central athens. they say greek for no, oxi. it e volks. >> if anyone has been betrayed, it's the greek people, they say, who have endured 5 years of austerity and see no comic recovery in sight. the consequences of defying europe could be catastrophic but these people are prepared to take that risk. >> in theory there is still time for a last minute deal between the greek government and

its creditors. in practice there is such bad feeling between them that the chances of compromise are far slipping away. barnaby phillips al jazeera, athens. >> joining us from sydney is the director of the international economy plan. if we could start first with what's happening on the markets. we saw global markets falling in response to the greek crisis but some asian markets do seem to be gaming some ground. do you anticipate any kind of longer term global fallout from what's happening in greece? >> so, it's a good question. i think there is a degree of uncertainty at the moment about what the implications will really be. it's probably hard to see the implications being terribly big. so greece has a very very small economy. the amount they owe should be

large enough for markets to absorb. there is still this feeling of uncertainty. there may be a nasty surprise coming around the corner. and so i think that's pretty much what people are concerned about right now. >> we heard the german chance seller angela merkel saying if the euro fails, europe fails. is she exaggerating or speaking truth? >> it's in their interest right now to talk a very very tough game. it's -- if the euro does break apart, if greece leaves -- and i think that then there is some sense that something is lost. now, i don't think that you would see if greece leaves the entire european project fails. i think that is a very large stretch. but i think to some degree t makes it a little more fragile.

>> expand a little bit more. what you do you think the repercussions of the greek exit from the european zone could be? >> the repercussions would be quite large for grease. in the short-term you would think perhaps they are going to be quite negative. in the short-term, there is going to be a degree of chaos. in the short-term, you might see a lot of bankruptcies especially if they exit and they introduce a new weaker currency that's going to make it harder to people who pay back those debts. in the medium to long-term, it may be a beneficial thing to greece. greece will have its own currency. it may be able to float and they would get some benefit economically speaking. but if they are part of the eu my understanding ask that eu

countries except those without an explicit cause like the uk in denmark, they are bound to try to get back and join the euro. so if they -- if they exitt the euro and remain in the eu there are some difficult choices to make. >> leon burkelman at the loi stint tut, thanks for joining us. >> the u.s. territory of puerto rico is facing a $72 billion debt crisis. the white house says it won't bail out by wednesday. puerto rico needs to make debt free payments of hundreds of million of dollars, the territory's government wants to defer that while he negotiates. some imf officials said they need to put in place austerity measures to get finances back in shape. anti-gallagher --
