capital grounds. >> this is al jazeera america live from new york city. i'm bisi onile-ere. more twists and turns in the greece financial drama. athens has named it's leads bail out negotiator as the new finance minister hours after the old one resigned. prime minister alexis tsipras will meet with leaders tomorrow. tsipras said that the stance is backed by sunday's referendum. we have more from athens. >> confirmation that his position. they said look, we can't argue with the figures from the referendum. it was an extraordinary achieve

achievement from mr. tsipras. 60-40 roughly in his favor. we as opposition have to fall in line. we have to support our prime minister at a time of national crisis, and he needs to carry that message with him into these crucial european negotiations that he's speaking for all greeks. so perhaps i should say virtual virtually all greeks. all the parties in the political center are signing this document saying that mr. tsipras will be speaking for them on the extreme left the communists and on the extreme right the golden dawn were not involved. now mr. tsiprs will hope that this swell of legitimacy and political support will give him a fair wind, if you like, as he goes in to these crucial negotiations. it is not going to hurt. but is it really going to make european governments and european imf more flexible.

i'm not sure that it, but he's king. >> they did not waste time naming the new finance minister. what is the mod like there? well, they had to name a new finance minister very quickly because the country is perilously close to a collapse. they got rid of the yanis p varoufakis a very charismatic and and divisive man, they have euclid tsakalotos to take his place. he was jaded in educated in the u.k. but this is not about personalities ultimately. this is about substance. it is about the fact that greece owes more than 300 billion euros

namely to its european partners, and it's struggling to find a way to pay back that money. in fact, it's arguing that paying back that money would be detrimental to its recovery aspect. >> barnaby, at last check i read that the banks could possibly reopen tomorrow, is that still a done deal? they'll be closed today closed tomorrow.

they're afraid to open their dollars because the greeks will rush in and take out what is left there. >> let's turn now to dominic dominic kane where they're reacting to what is happening in greece. any idea yet on how much longer the european central bank will report greek banks? >> the question is what will they do? they've given a lifeline something in the region of 19 billion euros already in what is given elss emergency liquidity assistance deals.

they were capped at an existing level. the question is whether the ecb will relent, as it were to make additional money available. if it does, it won't be vast amounts of money. certainly not. it will be liquidity. in other words an injection of cash the ecb has difficulty in acting as a lender of last resort. it's not supposed to do that. it's supposed to regulate currency. whether it's able to make bigger decisions is very much open for questions and of course the decision politically will be between the leaders of the large eurozone countries which is why the meeting taking place between françois hollande the president of france, and angela merkel,

the chancellor of germany are so crucial. germany holds the liyo share of the debt that greece owes, so nell' have to make decisions. if that the greek economy the greek government has to repay the european central bank 3.4 billion euros, and it has already missed a payment to the imf of 1.6 billion euros on the 30th of june. if it does not make it's next payment it will be in real trouble, and there are those who are saying that it's a real crisis. >> a short time ago new finance minister was named. what are creditors saying

imagining what barnaby just reported that we could be days away from the banks' reopening. i imagine that the motions there are pretty tense. >> well, the german possession was that the government was not prepared to negotiate with the greeks whereas the french government said that perhaps there was some room for negotiation beforehand. that's all history now because the referendum result has thrown everything into question. here in germany there is a sense of exasperation amongst media amongst the opinion polls that are taken increasingly over the last few months there has been a greater degree of indecision perhaps of bea leave that the german taxpayers don't want to bail out greece and then the german finance minister just a few days ago was say to go other

finance ministers at the eurozone that he didn't believe that it was possible right at this minute to get further money for greece adapted through the german parliament. we heard from the vice chancellor from the social democrats yesterday evening react together referendum feeling that the greek decision was effectively burning bridges between greece and the eurozone and it was unimaginable how negotiations could take place. so how mr. tsipras is stronger relative to what the german government has been saying, it's difficult to see what possible strength he has given those conditions. >> dominic kane. thank you. well, it's getting late in vienna where another round of talks over iran's nuclear program are under way. negotiatingnegotiators have

until tomorrow to make a deal. the u.s. said it's prepared to walk away from the talks if key requirements requirements are not met. james bays has more from vienna. >> we're told by all sides both the negotiating countries without iran, the p5+1 and from run iran itself that there are only a few sticking points left on the table. what has happened over the remaining hours all the foreign ministers, the five permanent members of the u.n. the security council and germany they'll arrive here. there are problems that still exist, their view of the problems and their view of the negotiating strategy. that happened at their meeting. that meeting ended a couple of hours ago. and most importantly the meeting

has started and this is an important one. the meeting of all the p5+1 foreign ministers and foreign minister zarif plus one all trying to resolve these remaining issues. i've been to a briefing by senior iranian official saying that iran still has red lines that it will not cross. but in iran's view those red lines are compatible with a deal. the deadline is on tuesday. everyone suspecting that possibly it might go past tuesday but we are really getting, i think, to the final crunch moment to all of this. >> james bays in vienna. the south carolina state legislature will discuss what to do with the flag flying on the state capitol grounds.

it cannot be taken down unless two-thirds of the legislature agrees. there has been a call for its removal after nine people were shot and killed at an ame church in charleston. the suspect was shown waving the flag in photographs. for the first time nascar asked fans not to display the confederate flag at the daytona international speedway. despite pleas fans flew the flag any way. >> in the annals of racing there are few praises as historic as the day tone nan the daytona international speedway. fans have watched for years as their favorite drivers would take to the track. but there is an image crisis on its hands. officials asked long-time nascar fan to leave confederate flags at home but it's not a

concession that some are willing to make. >> i'm southern. i'm proud of my family. i'm proud of being in the u.s. and having the freedom to display whatever flag i'm allowed to display. >> throughout the track many others were flaying a flag that is increasingly seen as a symbol of oppression and slavery. nascar banned the flag a decade ago but cannot stop fans from displaying it. that could take make some uneasy. >> i deal with it all the time. so i mean, it's just something that you adapted to and you just keep on losing. if you're ignorant like them, then you just have a bunch of ignore respect people. >> officials are key on not flying the the confederate flag that they've offered to exchange the flag for the american flag but few have taken them up on

the offer. >> officials have trying to attract a more diverse fan base, but they'll look at the business for the years ahead. >> whether it's a voluntary program or policy changes we have to look at the future. we want people to attend sporting events and have a good time and feel comfortable doing it. >> the confederate flag was once ubiquitous at nascar races b in recent years it's been on a decline. for some it will always have a place. >> new worries in tennessee where a train derailed last week. dead fish started showing up in a creek in maryville nery knoxville. that's where a train carrying toxic chemicals went off tracks and caught fire leading to mass evacuations. they're conducting tests and urging the public to avoid any contact with the fish. a record win for team usa defeating japan to win the

>> well, it's over after a month, after 52 games. the women's world cup in canada took them on in 2015. they've finally had their final act, and the american women in vancouver, bc. it's been an extraordinary run for this team. and while are the fans so happy? heres why. just three minutes in captain carly lloyd scores with a left-footed one timer. she adds another one timer into the back of the net. at 14 minutes into the match another goal. this one by loner halladay lauren halladay, she caps off off the hat trick over the head

lowell valley died. bob valley said news of his death was the worst pain of his life. but trying to bring home the remains prolonged that torture. >> it followed us all the way. i'll tell it like it is. >> to understand the nature of that fight is to understand how the sailors on the oklahoma died on december 7th. >> the oklahoma has sustained anywhere from to 11 torpedo hits. she literally had her guts slashed out of her and now she's turning over. and those crews are at the general quarters. >> the bodies of the crew remained underwater for years. when it was brought up remains wound up mixed together in the graves at the system cemetery pacific known as the punch bowl. when he was told the navy could not tell him where they were

buried, he began to catalog it himself. >> i spent many moons up there. i went after all navy, everything in world war ii that was buried in that cemetery. >> after nearly 40 years of work his crusade helped to convince the department of defense, which has argued that the mixed up graves should be left alone to disband it's existing department for handling the dead and creating a new lab in hawai'i through identifying the remains through dna. still identifying the crew of the oklahoma will be an enormous challenge. >> we exhumed one casket in 2003. there were five skulls in that casket. but we know that there are over 100 individuals represented in that one casket. we know that these remains are highly co-mingled. >> researchers believe they'll be able to identify 80% of the remains over the next five years. perhaps lowe ll valley will be

english channel. he has lived in beijing for 12 years and is one of only 8,000 people who has what is called a green card. this gives foreigners permanent residency. with similar rights and access to social services as a chinese national. >> it gives a feeling of being part of the community. and not having the hassles that i used to have when i came here. show your passport and all this sort of thing. >> getting the green card was not easy. the rules for it were put in place in 2004 but only those who made what the government called exceptional contributions to china were even considered. it is now easing those with qualifications. of the 1.4 billion people in china, 1% are foreigners. without green cards they're issued special visas. these visas only allow them to work at specific jobs in a specific company for a limited time. but to further development and

competitiveness in the world market the chinese government wants to increase the number of foreigners to at least 10% of the population. and the main target is getting chinese immigrants to come home. >> the government realizes it has not just top skills in their profession but also they have knowledge of chinese language, chinese culture. chinese business practices to make them ideal candidates to attract back to china. >> marvin came back from new zealand. and he successfully launched several internet companies. >> basically for me it's the set up in china to want to go global, it's more advantageous for people like us to do business here. >> abouter the government might be succeeding in making the
