[chanting] celebrations at the u.s. team bags a record win at the world cup. ♪ so the news out of greece this morning is the finance minister has a resignation for a no vote on the bail out and stepping down will help him come to a much needed agreement with creditors and says european partners prefer his absence, however, the prime minister has a lot of challenges ahead of them and greek banks are on the edge of collapse and not clear when they will open and meeting with greek party leaders to talk through the plan of attack as he plans to return to the negotiation table. well, the resignation of yanis

varoufakis cames hours after they voted against the bailout offer and central athens went well in the night and final numbers were 61.3 greeks supporting the government and voting no to bailout conditions which were crippling and unreachable and 38.7% voted yes and john is live in athens to talk through all this, for our viewers who may be looking at this, and mr. yanis varoufakis and his party got what he wanted from the vote why would he resign then? >> the party got what he wanted mr. yanis varoufakis was asked to resign to facilitate talks to continue and created this across the table with euro zone partners and there was a meeting in april the 24th when his partners rounded on him and criticized him heavily with not coming up, with more concrete proposals for a debt relief program to be able to be approved and that came to a head

again at the euro group meeting last saturday in brussels when he was excluded from a second session of the euro group which decided not to extend the period of the greek bailout that he had requested. he was also rebuffed at the european central bank since february where he went forward with proposals that yanis varoufakis didn't accept for a debt swept that would have obviated negotiation that has gone on in the last several months and he has not been able to convince partners to accept greek positions. he has therefore been seen as an obstacle and in grease many people said to me privately any meeting that mr. yanis varoufakis is going to is not going to end in agreement so we know what the crowd come outcome is going be and the comment that is made here and heard in the last couple hours that the coordinator of the greek team

another economist is thinking of resigning but he is remaining because mr. yanis varoufakis is gone and here there were problems with coordination with him. >> he rides off in the sunset for now and tell me about the people in greece, the ones who went out and voted on sunday what happens to them as far as their money and banks and atm, the everyday things which is what they will really worry about? >> that's right, that is the key question and the speed with which talks conclude and the key importance is the speed with which greek banks are relieved. that is the number one issue because today is the last day the head of the greek banking system has said that greek banks will have liquidity from the central bank and we are

expecting that the removal of yanis varoufakis and replacement presumably by some more softly spoken candidate, perhaps a man involved in talks up until now on the development minister will soften the stones and the hope of bankers here they tell us is acb will be induced following a recommendation perhaps by key european leaders to release a slow trickle of funds to the greek banking system to keep it going, keep it going at current capital control levels through the talks over the next few days because even with capital controls the banks can no longer continue to keep atms open beyond today and told electronic transfers being made with net losses to banks everyday are even greater than the half billion dollars being removed in cash through cash machines. they are now obviously

completely depleted, the banks' reserves and need relief badly. if the ecb interprets the removal as a token of good will we may see a trickle of emergency assistance today. >> thank you john live in athens for us. to other news two blasts hit the central nigerian and one bomb exploded at restaurant and a mosque and with someone who was critical of boko haram was preaching and earlier at least five people were killed by a suicide bomber who targeted a church violence brings the number of people killed in boko haram attacks to more than 200 this week. let's go to abuja to talk us through this one and first is the death toll which seemed to have spiked in the last hour or so. >> well that's right, initially, kamal we were able to make contact with the state

police command which is the capitol and managed to speak to the police who told us the death toll was around 15 but in the last few minutes or so the national emergency management authority, that is the government department if you like charged with trying to rescue people caught up in this kind of violence says, in fact, that the death toll is significantly higher than that. they are saying that around 44 people have been killed and at least 67 people injured. what we understand speaking to people on the ground is those who survive the blast are being treated in the main hospital. >> so where do we go from here as far as boko haram goes evon and i said to this you last hour because we have been discussing this for years and attacks going on for years and there is a new government in place now which i guess the people would be expected to do something about this finally. >> well that's right, kamal and

that is what everybody is asking. the new president mohamed buhari and the new government came to power to eliminate boko haram and there was a sense and feeling that the ex president goodluck jonathan was unable to eliminate the group and many voters went to the polls thinking boko haram would be defeated very swiftly by the new government on the 29th of may when barahi was sworn in as president he moved the military command and control center from the capitol abuja to capitol borno state where most of the violence is taking place an ordered release of 21 million u.s. dollars of treasury to support soldiers and lots of diplomatic effort by the president and went to g 7 meeting and the african union in south africa and visited chad and the nigeria republic and caught up in violence by boko haram and leaders have been hit

minister zarif that we have never been closer at this point, this negotiation could go either way. if hard choices get made in the next couple of days and made quickly we could get an agreement this week. but if they are not made we will not. >> reporter: foreign ministers have been arriving again in vienna and expected to stay until 7 july the new deadline but what happens if they don't reach a deal by then? do you have a plan b? >> no and the rule is and i said it on another occasion and the rule is if you work on plan a you stim stick to plan a so that is staying. >> reporter: i'm told we got to the stage where all the sticking points could be laid out on one sheet of paper for the foreign ministers, some are technical
