6:01 am
and it's all about the swipe and it's big business. ♪ let's start with greece where uncertainty looms over the future of its roll in the euro zone after the government said it won't pay back 1.6 billion euro payment due to the imf today and thousands of people have rallied in athens to back the government's rejection of a tough bail out and on sunday they will accept or reject a deal and meanwhile the economy is slowly grinding to a halt banks are closed and people have been lining up outside atm machines to take out cash and they have been capped at 60 euros and barnabie reports. >> reporter: this petrol station at the edge of athens is closed until a tanker turns up with new supplies and as we
6:02 am
drove around the city we saw about a third of the stations were closed as a result of panic buying over the weekend but without the free flow of cash the greek economy could grind to a halt. >> translator: there is no shortage of petrol and there is plenty in the country but need to pay for it 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. the most volatile were pensioners many of whom don't have bank cards and antonias 82 weights outside the bank to collect pension with friends. he heard a report it would open at midday. it didn't. he waited an hour then gave up. so there are a lot of questions for the greek finance minister
6:03 am
although he wasn't answering them on his way into work. instead we heard accusations of betrayal from the european commission in brussels. >> translator: e egotism and by my efforts and other institutions involved in the process i feel a little be troyed because due consideration is not being given to personal efforts and the efforts of others who are very numerous and made a sustained effort. >> reporter: in germany angela merkel doesn't want to go down in history as the leader who presided over the break up of the euro zone. >> translator: if the euro fails europe fails. we have to fight for our principals. we could forget them for a second maybe but i say in the mid or long-term we would suffer damage. we will suffer because we will
6:04 am
not be a key player in the world anymore, that is why we have to call for compromises and principals in europe again and again. >> reporter: at dusk thousands of government supporters came to central athens and they say greek for no oxi, a simple word but evokes memories of the 1940s and resonates with defiance and say if anyone has been betrayed it's the greek people who 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 is still time for a last-minute deal between the greek government and its creditors, in practice the bad feeling between them that the chances of compromise are far slipping away barnabie
6:05 am
phillips athens. what does it mean if a country misses a payment to the international monetary fund? if greece fails to pay 1.6 billion euros they will be the first developed nation to miss a payment and join a list of late players including zimbabwe and sudan and somalia and owing 35 billion euros since 2010, over the rest of this year it has to repay 5.5 billion euros and if today 1.6 billion euro payment is not made greece could lose voting rights and risk being kicked out of imf and the chief says there is little chance greece will be left isolated. >> i think it's very unlikely. at the moment what we have seen thus far today is stabilization and set up in equity markets yesterday but the euro is holding up well and suggests to
6:06 am
me currency markets are sanguin and this is a difficulty that will be resolved if greece is in or out of the euro and it's unlikely that greece will be left to fend for itself and i think the gee yo political location says whatever happens with respect to the negotiations between the creditors and the greek government the ultimately greece will get help the only question i think remains as to whether or not that will be inside or outside the euro and we will get a clearer indication of that in the wake of sunday's referendum. >> and john is live for us in the greek capitol, john, historic moment as i was mentioning there, advanced economy facing this kind of situation, what happens at midnight what happens next? >> well we do expect that greece will find itself in arrears to the imf, the international monetary fund today because as recently as last night the prime minister
6:07 am
elect confirmed what we have been saying all along greece will not honor 1.6 million euro bond and a backlash against the government position asking people to vote no to the austerity package for to reasons because there will be a gathering on the square in front of parliament behind me today by the yes vote and last night we saw a powerful presentation here by the no vote and tonight it's the yes vote and the yes vote doesn't want austerity but what says let's go ahead and make the deal is worry the referendum will be an extremely blunt instrument with which to stop the jugs of austerity and don't think it will do the trick and think it will back fire on greece and remove greece further from the european core which is a position it hasn't joyed for the last 30 years and fear it
6:08 am
will put greece on a track of more confrontation with european partners and also perhaps begin to reorient the foreign and defense policy to the east towards russia and want the relationship with europe to be safeguarded and main fainted and maintained and that is the yes vote. also awaiting confirmation that the prime minister has in the last couple of hours turned down a renewed overature to come back to the negotiation table and with little changes take the offer on the table and one with referendum, that again is likely, if confirmed in a press conference taking place right now in brussels is likely to raise the ire of the yes vote further. >> reporter: all right thanks so much, john is there. u.n. accused the south sudan army of human rights abuses during fighting in the northern
6:09 am
unity state and include the abduction and sexual abuse of women and girls some of whom were reportedly raped and then burned alive, the mission in south sudan collected evidence from 115 victims and eyewitnesses and some were committed by groups associated with the army. south sudan military spokesman phillip joins me now on the line from duba and good to have you with us and as i said from the evidence there collected by the u.n. they are saying that soldiers or groups associated with soldiers have been committing rapes, human rights abuses and even burning women alive, your response to those allegations, are they true? >> i have seen the report.
6:10 am
and there was a investigationn investigation in the report and guilty of tragedies and were presented without a doubt. >> if you are supporting further verification will you allow u.n. investigators to the site of the alleged atrocities. >> definitely we will welcome the u.n. in the position and the victim and everybody. >> forgive me for interrupting if you welcome them so why has the u.n. mission been denied routine access to the sites is what the chief says routinely denied access to the army and
6:11 am
that doesn't sound like a welcome welcome. >> denial of access to me we need to go through the areas where the u.n. have been denied access because our role as an army with the facility and humanitarian and everyone needs protection. if the united nations has been denied access ultimately they tried to present those that come in to look at the government of south sudan. if there is protest of denial that is presented to the government then definitely we are a part of the government and ready to reform. >> all right thank you very

much. amnesty international accusing egypt of crushing an entire generations hope for a brighter future and says thousands of young protesters have been arrested or jailed in the past two years after unfair trials the human rights watchdog says egypt is in a state of all out oppression but egypt's foreign minister denies the allegations and says the government is not targeting young activists. thousands have attended the funeral of the chief prosecutor and people of sisi's government who died in a car bomb attack in cairo on monday and the first assassination of a top official in nearly 25 years. nicholas is the egypt researcher for amnesty international and joins me from london and good to have you with us and reading through your report it sounds like this is perhaps the worst oppression in egypt's modern history, is that what we are

talking about here? >> right, egypt is facing an unprecedented human rights crisis, a generation of young people that grew up with mubarak and challenged in february 2011 and now behind bars and a sweeping crack down on dissent and seen thousands of people detained and far beyond muslim brotherhood and today we have seen internationally renown leaders and human rights defenders and even a young student jailed for wearing an antitorture t-shirt and all of these people are behind bars in egypt, 2011 generation protest has become 2015 generation jail. >> so many reports now as well as false interpreting and women who are ill and do we know the number of people that are behind bars? >> no, because authorities never published the numbers on the
6:14 am
crack down and dissent but it's all encompassing and all of the spectrum and mass protests have given way to mass arrests and the law is a fast track to prison and seen dozens or hundreds of protesters in each case hold before the courts in grossly unfair trials. what is clear is the authorities are trying to tear the heart out of egypt's protest movement and trying to make sure that a new generation of protesters doesn't rise up to challenge them. >> do you think the international community has ignored this? when you look at the past reaction to human rights abuses in other parts of the world it does seem to be a stunning silence here doesn't there? >> right, world leaders are breaking the promises they made to egypt united statesyouth to stand beside them in with rule of law and we have seen egypt's partners ready to sell arms and equipment to
6:15 am
egypt authorities ignoring gross human rights violations like torture and killing of protesters and forced dis disappearances and what we saw yesterday killing of egypt prosecutor was a cold blooded act of murder but that shouldn't be used as a pretext of further oppression and neither should egypt's international partners use it as excuse while egypt launches another wave of mass arrests. >> thank you very much for your thoughts there nicholas. still to come on the news hour a selection in burundi, the opposition boycotted, the african union observers stayed away. deadline looms for a deal on iran's nuclear program with sanctions and in sport we will tell you if chile has done enough to put themselves on the tusk of the copa america title. ♪

6:32 am
week. this is where this began and imposed sanctions on iran in 2006 and after they decided to suspend the program and world leaders have been negotiating a nuclear deal over the past two years and in april the parties agreed on the main outline of a deal and james base is live for us in vienna and the foreign minister heading back with big guns from tehran and a good sign is it for this deal? >> reporter: well, he is back now inside the hotel behind me the palace austrian palace used for the place for the talks and sat down with u.s. secretary of state john kerry and went back 24 hours to tehran on clarification on various points and has come back with an even bigger delegation and that is interesting, the people he has come back with and he has come back with president rohini's
6:33 am
brother who has been involved at various stages in talks and was there in the final days before that so that is interesting and also with him is saley and he is the nuclear expert of iran and head of the atomic energy authority. negotiators from the international community p 5 plus 1 says it's good news he is back here and the reason he wasn't back here is because of ill health but he has now returned to tehran and we understand that certainly the p 5 plus 1 believe he played a very helpful role in the run up to that interim deal three months ago in lozan and he is someone we are told has a very good working relationship with his opposite number the u.s. energy secretary earnest and one other interesting point that has just come out, sammy, is the negotiations started here
6:34 am
behind me in the hotel, the supreme leader sent a tweet and said i respect they are trustworthy and committed and brave and faithful so basically a full endorsement of the negotiating team back here basically putting the ball in their court as we reach the final stage, what is possibly the final stage of this very long process. >> the ball is in their court james and how big are the gaps that ball is going to have to bounce over when it comes to things like access to military sites and the process for lifting sanctions? >> well, i think those are the two main areas but i think it's also worth bearing in mind what they came up with in lozan was perimeters of framework and in any framework you have to add all the detail and in some ways and we have been saying this all along the devil is in the detail and they have to look at evening
6:35 am
and not just the details you mentioned and we are hearing there has been some progress. the sticking point there has been the iran people say sanctions should be lifted once the deal is signed and the international community p 5 plus 1 saying no, we need to see you are complying before we lift sanctions. the sort of deal that may be done there is at the end of this you won't get a signing, the signing will be delayed so they can stick to what the iran people want by signing and delayed process, a series of phases for the sanctions really to kick in. on the issue of inspectors that is still a phony issue. iran saying that it will not allow inspections at military sees quite possibly find former words to deal with this because it's not just about the substance, it's about the language and how that language will be interpreted way beyond here in vienna. >> james base there, thanks for

6:37 am
dialogs and we are confidence that the communities are now safe for the safe return of the people that are here. some have chosen other communities and assisting them to get through the u.n. as they are. >> reporter: many of the people here are concerned that despite assurances that the areas are safe they actually have no way to go and they are prepared to sleep in the streets, what support is there in place to reintegrate them successfully and when it comes to work as well as shelter? >> in the past few weeks we have been discussing with the u.n. of application to assist them back into communities and given packages based on family size and includes transportation and also includes other things and some who had businesses before have been promised if they apply they will be giving a package to assist them to restart their businesses. unfortunately that is our site
