>> greece's finance minister steps down after greeks reject the european bailout. will the move keep the nation from running out of cash? >> we are not yet where we need to be on several of the most difficult issues. >> they've never been closer, but the u.s. threatens to walk away from nuclear talks with iran one day before the latest deadline. >> they are america's golden

girls, taking the world cup defeating japan in record setting fashion. >> this is aljazeera america live from new york city. i'm stephanie sy. greece is trying to get back to the negotiating table after a resounding rejection of a bailout offer sunday. today the finance minister resigned taking some euro zone ministers would prefer he not be a part of future talks. the resignation comes a day after 61% of greeks rejected creditors' demands for more austerity in he in exchange for rescue loans. tomorrow leaders discuss the future. dominic cain is in frankfort but lets begin in athens with john. the finance minister's resignation was unexpected since

the vote went his way. what's been the reaction? >> well, stephanie, it was going to come at some point the finance minister had moved very far from what euro group members were willing to accept. all of his proposals over the last six months have been non-starters all rejected within a day or several days. in the last two weeks beginning on the 22nd of june, greece started to talk to creditors on the basis of their proposals and that has made the process that much more realistic but it excludes mr. varoufakis. a weekend ago, he was not included in the second session of a euro group meeting which resulted in greece being refused extension of its financial

assistance program. after that, i think the euro group members simply didn't want to see him anymore and he himself said in his resignation that that was the case. i don't think that we will know how euro group members will now receive his replacement until we know who that will be, but we've heard. >> said that the question now is whether greece can remain within the euro zone. that's what has to be tackled. >> let's talk about the referendum yesterday. greeks came out in huge numbers but there is so much uncertainty. what is the mood there today the day after the referendum? >> my sense is that people are optimistic. people are glad that they've spoken up. they're glad that they've reasserted their democratic position which is that they want to remain within the euro zone but not on the basis of austerity measures alone. they want hope, they want growth, they want development and that means that while the

government does still have to cult its expenditures and balance its books this can no longer be done by horizontal cuts. policies have led to 25% unemployment. it's insuppressible. it stood at that level or higher for the last six years. it's led to companies on the verge of collapse. they cannot draw liquidity from banks and banks in turn are owed norm owls amounts of money from their non-performing loans so the entire economy needs a reboth, and no one seems to have the right idea about how to restart it. >> as far as restarting negotiations between the greek government and e.u. creditors do we know when that might

happen? >> well, we know there's going to be a euro group meeting at lunch time. that was scheduled just a couple of hours ago. we expect the new greek finance minister will be sworn in today and be in brussels perhaps as early as tonight. he or she will have to pick up negotiations more or less where they left off. alexis tsipras said i will have a deal with creditors within 48 hours of a no vote, which is what he asked for in this referendum. he's got that in spaced. now he needs to deliver on his 48 hour promise. he needs to move quickly forward to name his finance minister and that means he also has to formulate the negotiating framework, the brief that that minister will be sent to brussels with. >> ok. >> up until now, so far today he's been caught up in the meeting with other party leaders here in greece in order to

decide what greece's position will be. >> john live from athens, thank you. let's turn to dominic cain in frankfurt where european finance leaders are reacting. germany is central to the creditor part of this. dominic, what are germany and the european central bank saying today? >> >> well, stephanie the european central bank has several meetings with teleconferences scheduled today. we know there is conference with senior euro zone officials and there is a meeting here today. the questions before them are do they want to give anymore e.l.a.'s, emergency liquidity assistance the lifeline keeping greece going these past several months. the level of maintain from that

is something aren't 90 billion euros. that sum was capped at the level of the previous friday, so about eight or nine days ago and wasn't extended the weekend before last. the question is will they be prepared to extend more to the greek central banks or just say no, no more money there. alternatively if they wanted to be punitive, they could decide to ask the greek banks for more collateral, because of course, the greek banks had to put forward collateral when they were in receipt of these e.l.a.'s effectively the loans being given to them. if that were to happen, there have to be question marks over whether the greek banks would be able to meet that collateral, and if they couldn't, they might all go to the wall. certainly those are the circumstances that the e.c.b. is wrestling with as it were. there's the fact that the euro zone leaders the big leaders of the big economies namely germany and france will be meeting this afternoon in paris. angela merkel, the german chancellor meeting the french

penalty francois hollande and this crisis will be at the top of the agenda for them. >> dominic is anyone talking this morning about a publicly greek exit from the euro zone? >> certainly the german media would have you believe that. i have the local newspaper which says no wins. clear factual statement there. more interestingly perhaps this issue, 09, reporting that they did not want this to happen. the sense from media and opinion polls, there seems to have been an increasing trends from germans to say they are not

prepared to see more money spent on saving greece, bailing greece out. that's red to r reflected in the way the germans speak about things believing that the bridge had been burned. he considered negotiations with the greeks to be barely conceivable, barely imaginable. we've also heard from the press spokesman of angela merkel today that although there is the possibility still of negotiations between the two sides, they believe that there is no base for negotiations. >> dominic cain from frankfurt thank you. >> greece's former finance minister was in office when the debt crisis erupted and was the principle architect of the first bailout. he joins us from athens this morning. thank you for being with us. i assume you being on the other

side of the political spectrum from the current government, that you voled yes in the referendum? >> >> yes this is a correct assumption. this was not an easy vote. the yes was not an easy one but the question is does one wanting to into approach with the rest of europe. even though people who voted yes, a lot of them thought they were voting to give more negotiating power to the prime minister. in fact, sorry no, even though a lot of the people who voted no thought they were giving more negotiating power to the prime minister, they were playing into the hands of those in the rest of the euro zone that would like to see greece out. a strong no is going to make his position harder than a yes vote would be. >> all of the people we saw celebrating last night who voted

no to further austerity what does that say to you? >> the country has been through some very, very difficult times and people are hurting. there's a lot of unemployment. fortunately, austerity is never a goal, the question is whether you can have a loan without conditions attached to the loan. the answer to that is no, we cannot. mr. tsipras will hopefully negotiate a deal and it's going to be a difficult one. there is no deal that does not involve some kind of austerity. >> shouldn't the deal also require some sort of -- sir shouldn't the deal also require some sort of debt relief from european creditors because the greece economy hasn't grown substantially in the last five years. g.d.p. fell 25% shortly before your government left office, things started to turn around, austerity clearly isn't growing

the greek economy. jewel absolutely. there's no question that a deal needs to have debt relief. in fact, this was the one thing that syriza was right on from the beginning and could have been achieved right after they came to power. unfortunately, they missed that chance. if they were willing to continue the reforms of previous governments, to continue freeing the economy, continue changing the public administration, then they would have gotten as counterparts from our european partners some additional debt relief. they didn't want to do that, so debt relief was off the table. now perhaps it will be back in a new deal, but it will not be without additional fiscal and structural efforts on behalf of the greek government. >> you seem relatively calm this morning, even though your side lost the referendum. how confident are you that greece will remain in the euro

zone at this point? >> well, we're all hoping and we believe that there will be a deal that will avert exit from the euro zone. i am worried that last night's result may embolden those both within our country and outside our country sometimes opposites find each other who want to see greece out. i don't think there is what mr. tsipras want. it's not what the moisturety of greeks want who 80% want to stay in the euro zone. at the moment, you have the greek government facing some very tough times ahead banks ran out of cash mid next week. there is no money in the government coffers to pay wages and salaries and pensions. at the same time, you have 18 other governments that are not going to simply buckle down and agree to all the conditions that mr. tsipras will bring to the table, because they have their

own electorates their own parliament who will have taken last night's vote as a no to greece's position in the euro zone, so the window of opportunity is a very small one and i hope they make the effort at the starting of the meeting of the euro group and leaders meeting to find that elusive compromise that we so badly need because the alternative would be catastrophic and would be for greece and bad for europe, as well, but the damage in greece will be much bigger. >> former finance minister, thank you so much for your time. >> it is down to the wire in vienna where iran, the u.s. and five countries are working to reach a deal on tehran's nuclear program, the deadline tomorrow. secretary of state john kerry says negotiators are making progress but object stackic al s remain and the u.s. said says prepared to walk away from the talks if key requirements aren't

met. james bays is live in vienna. good morning. kerry said the parties are not where they need to be on several of the most difficult issues. do we know what those issues are? >> >> they have made progress here, but there are key stumbling blocks. it was always going to be like this. when you do a deal like this, you leave the most difficult parts to the end. the most difficult parts include the issue of sanctions how the sanctions would be lifted, what sanctions would be lifted, for example, would the arms embargo on iran be lifted, would sanctions relating to iran's missile technology be lifted, those are the source of sticking points, also sticking points on research and development the

length of any deal, and also how the inspectionors will be allowed to operate inside iran. those are the sort of problems, problems have language, but also of substance technical issues, but in the end all political issues, because they are political decisions that now need to be made and that's why all the foreign ministers have arrived in vienna from all the seven countries involved, the six countries negotiating with iran. >> i heard you ask about a plan b. in the last press conference. what happens next? >> everyone is saying there is no plan b., the deadline is on tuesday, just 24 hours from now. led me just remind you the last deadline, it was last tuesday and they extended for a week. i think in reality no one's really talking about this publicly, but they will tell you behind the scenes, they don't want this to fail.

they don't want this to be a disaster that brings potentially iran and the rest of the world to a state of war. if they don't get a deal, i suspect they don't want to because there's a deadline on the ninth. if you go past the ninth it goes from a 30 day preview to a 60 day review. they don't want to extend that, but i'm treasure they will. >> what would a successful deal mean for our u.s. foreign policy interests? >> it could be very important indeed. they don't like talking about that either. if you ask the question as he has been asked, secretary of state john kerry, he said this is about the nuclear program and the threat from ran's nuclear program. that clearly is a very important issue to people around the region, but if you had this sort of diplomatic agreement to iran,

privately diplomatics on both sides tells you it opens up deals potentially for the u.s. and iran, to talk about other issues and the most pressing of those issues is the issue of isil. they are on the same side effectively with the u.s. and iraq fighting isil in syria much more complicated the fight against isil, because there of course the u.s. is fundamentally opposed to the government of president bashar al assad and iran is his strongest supporter so iran really a pivotal country in the middle east right now. if you've got this deal, then the possibility of talking about some of those other issues is then there. >> thank you for that context. james bays reporting from vienna. >> the u.s. is vowing to professionals counter terrorism support to nigeria after boko haram attacks over the weekend left dozens of people dead. the latest attacks took place sunday in the city, killing 44 people.
