should result in hopefully more clarity lesson certainty as to what is the determination of the greek people and what is the authority of the government. >> let's get the latest now from barnaby phillips who is live for us in athens and so it's the feeling among the tsipras government that they are fighting not only for their terms but because for their political lives now. >> reporter: yes. i think it is. i spoke to a minister in the tsipras government yesterday sami and i asked him what happens if there's yes vote. you are in a real hole then. he said well, we would probably stand down. we would look at the referendum results if it was a narrow victory for yes there are some people in the government who would be in favor of staying on. buffy think it would be virtually politically impossible. you saw there from that clip, from christine leguard of the i.m.f. we are hearing the same message
