the nagsle football team makes -- national football team makes history, winning the copa america for the first time i'm at speed way where n.a.s.c.a.r. fans have been asked not to display the confederate flag. many are ignoring that and we'll tell you why. greeks have started to vote in a bailout referendum that could map out the country's future. voters must decide whether to put forward reforms to decide on eight. prime minister alexis tsipras favors a no vote insisting it will give him a chance to negotiate a better deal. let's go live to the greek capital. gave us a sense of what is at stake for greece.

>> at stake is whether banks will open on tuesday or weather they'll remain closed and go bankrupt. the question of whether the government will fully default on creditors, following on from arrears of nonpayment of fund and whether the private sector goes into a recessionary tail spin or picks up emerging into a growth era, at stake is the european perspective of greece. the yes vote saying if the greeks vote know they would have signalled they are no long are interested in the eurozone or retaining their we were and european persectionive. >> much is at stake. material and virtual.

>> what are the outcomes which way could this go. >> well if you had a no vote. this will be taken in two ways. internally it will be seen as support for the income bent left wing government. it will be empowered, going to brussels and finishing the negotiation. we'll see the prime minister presumably as he announced in the next couple of days spending monday and tuesday in brussels. bringing home a document the contents of which we know his finance minister said there'd been renewed variations on the document, at the end of the week. and we expect that that will be a new bale out plan or pleased -- bail out plan or at least for the next few months

that the government will bring to parliament. if there's a yes vote. the position will be in doubt. the authority will be questioned and it will be seen as a censure motion, in effect, not by parliament, but by the people. in that case there's a good chaps that the government will have to resign and invite the opposition to form a government of national unity, through which to net the next package or in fact hold a general election which greece can ill-afford therefore an enormous amount of turmoil is on the way. >> we'll follow events. john psaropoulos there in athens. thank you tunisia is under a state of emergency, the president made the announcement a week after 38 tourists were killed in a beach resort. the measure necessary to maintain security. the move gives military and police extra powers as peter sharp reports. >> announcing the emergency

police said the gunmen was one member of a sleeper cell, part of a network stretched from london to tunisia. the president openly criticised security forces for their delay in responding to the shootings, and made a promise on friday to guarantee the safety of future visitors to tunisia. >> there's a big venture facing tunisia this date, and a state of emergency is something that is quite legitimate to impose in such a situation. the problem is that state of emergency in such new and young democracy is a double-edged sword. it is, from our side, going to stop the threat of terrorism, and advocate return to

authoritarianism and the police state we had before 2011. >> reporter: the declaration of a state of emergency comes on a day, the last of britain's 30 dead were finally flown home. an online video set to show the u.s. led provision carried out 16 air strikes on raqqa on saturday. the attacker choked key supply routes and stopped movements of i.s.i.l. fighters. i.s.i.l. released a video showing members executing 25,000 soldiers. the killings happened in may on the footsteps of palmyra. spectators, and children watch itted all unfold. in the video i.s.i.l. claims to have blown up a gaol used by the syrian regime where the political prisoners were locked up. >> a u.s. hopeful accused china of hacking and stealing u.s. government information. speaking at a campaign ech, the former secretary of state said she want china to rise peacefully but warns washington to be vigilant. >> they are also trying to hack

made conciliatory comments trig to put herself a little on the moderate stance. i think her strategy is to occupy the center outflank democratic opponents on the right and outflank the republicans on the left. the problem with russia is that she was scene as the principal administrator, if not architect of the obama administration to move closer to russia - at least in its first term. and that did not succeed. and i don't know if that would hold the administration responsible for the failure, it didn't work. and so she's in a delicate position. she needs to defend her position to pursue the policy, and imply that she can do better than anyone else and in her speech cited the fact she had a lot of experience more so than any other candidate. and argued that was an asset.

and that she believed more smartly than her rivals. clinton expressed hope that her deal may calm iran and that it may be a destabilizing effect. a talk to reach nuclear deals are taking place in vienna. the head of the nuclear watchdog is returning there. more diplomats are due in the austrian capital on sunday. they have until tuesday to reach a deal on sanctions to iran's nuclear sites one of the negotiators said the time deal will likely be a 3-stage agreement. >> the first stage will be the day we draw up a deal which will be announced and the security council will issue that. finally when the procedures are over and the countries are ready. it would be the date of agreement. when that day comes sanctions

should be listed and iran implement its commitments. >> diplomatic editor james bays is in vienna with the latest. >> reporter: the i.a.e.a. chief is back from tehran. they vn to know how it got the know how and components for the nuclear programme. these issues are related to the talks ongoing here. although there are sticking points at the talks, it's clear that both sides now are also looking at how to sell a deal. that is why i think it was in the interests of the iranians and the p5+1 for the i.a.e.a. chief to make this public statement. >> with the cooperation from iran, i think we can issue a report by the end of the year, on the assessment of the issues

-- of clarification of the issues possibly related to military dimensions. once an agreement is reached on the joint comprehensive plan of action, the i.a.e.a. is ready to implement the nuclear-related elements when requested. >> we are expecting more foreign ministers back here in vienna from sunday evening, and they are expected to stay in the city, joining negotiation, which are going on around the clock. western diplomats say 7 july, that's tuesday. is their final deadline time for a break, when we cam back elections in guyana empower citizens of african dissent giving rise to race eggses and in animal in australia in danger of extinction, and what is being done to save it. more on that

the arrests, if will not weaken hamas, we encourage them to stop the crackdown and free our prisoners. >> reporter: there hasn't been a security crackdown on this scale since 2006, when hamas seized power in gaza, sparking years of bitter division between the two main palestinian political factions, with fatah confined to the west bank, and hamas in control of gaza. in a rare sign of hope, differences were put aside just over a year ago with the formation of a consensus government, a government which is a failure because it hasn't made major decisions. the timing of the arrests calls into question the palestinian's president's attempts holding in effect the government, including fatah and hamas, a government on the verge of collapse, and why some believe the crackdown is politically motivated.

this woman's son was a supporter arrested, and she says it's painful during the holy month of ramadan. >> translation: last ramadan he was in an israeli prison, this ramadan, he's in a palestinian gaol. it's hard when a fellow countryman puts chains on your son's hands. >> reporter: this latest crackdown has been building for months, on wednesday, the israeli military announced the arrest of 40 supporters. for allegedly planning attacks on israel. palestinians warned of more arrests to come soon. >> the arrests are related to civil peace and security, our priority is the palestinian interest, and that is to maintain civil peace and security. >> whatever the case, the arrests will deepen the political crisis between hamas and the pa.
