and the u.s. women's team defeats japan to take home a third world cup. >> this is al jazeera america live from new york city. i'm stephanie sy. greece's prime minister is making influence attend a summit with eurozone leaders as they try to negotiate a new bail out deal. alexis tsipras spoke with chancellor angela merkel on the phone. he'll present a new proposal tomorrow. john spropolous has the latest from athens. >> we have yet to hear from prime minister tsipras. he's trying to form a consensus

position across the parties that are anti-austerity as well as those that have been in the first pro austerity a memorandum of understanding for creditors. that has been the political divide in parliament so far. forming a decision that bridges all of those gaps between the parties on greece's negotiation with creditors obviously difficult. it has taken many hours. there have been, we understand, telephone calls between mr. tsipras and other world leaders during that meeting. what we hope to achieve during the day is a communique between all of them that forms a national position. this was asked for by the opposition before the referendum took place despite the fact that mr. tisipras has handily won that election, it is good faith on his part and political courage and now he needs to strike a credible deal that's trying to line up politics

behind his position. >> chad sporopoulous from athens . greek banks are now closed but were supposed to reopen tomorrow. let's go to frankfurt where finance ministers are reacts to what is happening in in greece. what about creditor who is are holding the purse strings. what are they saying this morning? >> well, that is the crucial question. what will the european central bank, the imf and european commissions make of the resounding no vote that the greek population gave to them yesterday? and what can they do about it? now procedural terms the ecb behind me, the european natural bank can extend elas emergency liquidity assistance, which has been the lifeline.

it has been made available to greece in recent weeks and months as it's lifeline. it was referred to by the french prime minister a few days ago as rations. the equivalent of starvation agencies. agenc--rations. they could decide to make more money available but it's unlikely in one sense because they decided to cap the level of elas two weeks ago at that $19 billion level. now another option available would an nightmare scenario for the greek economy which is where the ecb could say the greek lenders who took down the loans from those elas may be forced to add more collateral because the ecb could say that the value of the assets the greek banks have in return to those loans have depreciated so they have to offer more. if that were to happen then

greek banks may be in serious trouble and may not open at all. clearly it would seem that all sorts of possibility it's would face ecb and it is prepared to precipitate such a crisis without final would words with the other two institutions, the imf and the european commission. that's under question. >> taking the political angle on this despite what the greek government may say those creditors are not beholdened to greek voters but they're beholden to their own voters including angela merkel. how is domestic pressure on her playing in to these talks? >> well, that is the question, isn't it. what sort of leverage do the greek government have when it is very clear in germany that the desire to be--to show sol layerty financially with the

average greeks is definitely dropping over recent months opinion polls the trend has shown that people are less likely to say yes let's pay a bit more. then we have to remember that the finance minister not so long ago said that he felt it was unlikely he would be able to generate to get enough support through the germany parliament to get more bail out money for greece. we've heard from different elements of the government, the vice-chancellor said that he felt that the greek government had burned bridge world trade center eurozone. that shows the sense of the level of displeasure among media, people and german government. >> dominic kane thank. earlier i spoke with greece's former finance minister. he was in office when greece's

debt crisis began. he voted yes to the referendum. >> a lot of people who voted no thought they were giving more negotiate negotiating power to the president, in fact, he was a playing in the hands of those who would like to see greece out. i'm afraid that it will make his negotiating position harder than what a yes would give. and we believe that there will be a deal that would give exit from the eurozone. i am worried that from last night's result may embedden those both within our country and outside of the country sometimes opposite find each other who want to see greece out. i don't think this is what mr. tsipras wants. it's certainly not what the majority of greeks want who 80% want to stay in the eurozone. but at the moment you have a greek government facing tough times ahead. banks run out of cash mid next week. there is no money in their

coffers to pay wages salaries and pensions. the window of opportunity is a very small one. i really hope that both sides make the effort tomorrow night starting tomorrow night at the meeting of the eurozone--first the euro group and then the leaders' meeting to find that elusive compromise that we so badly need. the alternative would be cat trough. >> okay. he said that despite the vote he believes that greece can stay in the eurozone. david sweat who spent three weeks on the run. sweat was shot twice when officers recaptured him last week. he was released sunday morning and transferred to a correctional facility in up state new york. matt was shot and killed by the police during the manhunt. a train derailed last week dead fish have started showing up in a vehicle near knoxville
