at a showcase for the best and brightest ideas in innovation and he did sign. ♪ ♪ hello, everyone, u.s. president barack obama says he's determined to beat isil. the u.s.-led coalition is intensifying its campaign against the group with some of the heaviest bombing since it's began airstrikes last september. at least 19 of these air strikes were carried out in a rack and syria on sunday. president obama says the folk soys taking out isil's leaders and its infrastructure and the reason knowledge players in the middle east are united in the fight. >> isil's strategic weaknesses are real. they are surrounded lie countries and communities committed to its destruction.

it has no air force our coalition owns the skies isil is backed by no nation, it relies on fear, seems executing its own disillusioned fighters. it's unrestrained brutality often alienates those under its rule creating new enemies. in short isil's recent losses in syria and iraq prove that isil can and will be did he defeated. >> that statement is backed up by able crease in the air campaign in the last 48 hours as well. the u.s.-led coalition carried out 11 air strike in iraq, near beigebeiji, fallujah, a kirkuk and sinjar, over in syria it targeted isil fighters in eight strikes. they struck al qaeda positions near aleppo. the u.s. defense second ash carter will face a sennas commit on tuesday to defend the coalition campaign and it's $2.9 billion price tag. he says the airstrikes are working with the help of kurdish peshmerga forces on the ground. it was the peshmerga which

fought off isil attacks on several of their positions near kirkuk on monday, killing nearly 40 isil fighters, carter says the increase in coalition airstrikes is to bolster kurdish gains on the ground. >> we are doing more in syria from the air. i think you saw some of that in recent days. and the opportunity to do that effectively is spoe rided in the case of the last few days. by the effective action on the ground of kurdish forces, which gives us the opportunity to support them tactically. >> let's take to jane arraf live in baghdad. tell us first of all about the air strikes arc as i read there were a number of places that were hit just in iraq a loan. >> reporter: absolutely. and it's an indication that isil is indeed, able to fight on many front. when president obama described them as nimble, this is really

what he has been talking about in areas where they have been driven out they are attempting to come back and coming back in full force. one would think that that fighting force would have been weakened by now. but in many of these places they are coming out with multiple suicide car bombs or truck bombs even using armored vehicles take friend iraq forces which were originally american vehicles. followed by gunmen and other suicide bombers with suicide vests. so on. days there are more than a dozen suicide bombers trying to detonate themselves. we have spoken with the ministry of defense about this and say a lot of these people are still foreign fighters, still coming in through syria via turkey. and they say that is part of the problem as well. ca ma. >> we keep talking about the peshmerga as well, i wonder if you can explain to the viewers the significance of them and what they are doing on the ground and if the airstrikes would be as effective without them. >> reporter: they absolutely

wouldn't be is the consensus among pretty much everybody whether they are iraqi or coalition officials. we is that you when the kurdish capital erbil was in danger of being attacked by isil last year. it was the u.s. coalition strikes that came in that were able to turn the tide on that one. and we have seen that time and again. the problem is, that the coalition, led by the u.s., is very cautious about when it is implementing these airstrikes. we are not seeing fallujah, ramadi mosul, they are staying away from populated areas because they want to limit civilian casualties but because because they don't want to be drawn in to a very politically difficult conflict that involves iran iraqi forces, and a host of other factors. they also don't have the intelligence on the ground that they need to pinpoints a lot of these areas so while those airstrikes are definitely having an affect in some areas, there are places, particular lit cities where iraqis are launching increasing campaigns civilians are increasingly being

hurt and killed and that is an area really where the u.s. doesn't have a lot of impact, kamal. >> thank you, jane arraf live in baghdad for us today. it is a day of crucial meetings about the future of greece. european leaders and the greek government are trying to agree to a plan to keep athens in to the single currency. here is where things stand right now. banks still closed. and expected to remain so until at least thursday. the european central bank has increased pressure them by demanding more class corral challe collateral in exchange. mine minister a lexus tsipras will address a meeting of european leaders at the european parliament. there have been tough words from the german chancellor angela her cell asmerkel. ing a greece needs present credible residence lunges, but they are open to the

negotiations with agents ends. >> reporter: together their country's economies account for nearly half the sewer ozone so the views of the german chancellor and the french president are crucial as europe grapples with the fall out of the greek referendum. angela merkel has taken a firm line on greece's need to live up to its commitments. while french officials have hinted at greater flexibility. the time had come for france and germany to speak with one voice. >> translator: it's now up to the government of mr. tsipras to submit proposals so they can remain in the euro that is sustainable. greece needs to stay in the euro. >> translator: it is not only the greek population and the greek people who have a say here, it's also the other 18 countries. whiff one common currency and want to keep it. therefore all sides need to be responsible and so solidarity.

>> reporter: the euro zone is moving in to unchartered waters, no mechanism exists for a country to leave the euro. so greece's european partners are worried about setting a dangerous precedent. other countries in the euro zone such as spain will be watching the next developments closely. like greece, spain has lived through difficult economic times. the spanish government has been forced to impose unpopular austerity measures. so will be wary of greece getting special treatment. >> translator: i believe that from the point of view of the greek public, some errors have been made by the so-called institutions, but i also say it's inevitable that greece macon form because there are other examples of other countries who have already put them in lace and already emerged from recession. >> reporter: it looks like a bad omen, workmen taking apart the euro symbol outside the form murderheadquarters of the european

central bank, her just repairing the sign and it will be back in place on thursday. the process of revival the currency this sign represents will doubtless take much longer. jackie row lands, al jazerra paris. >> live to john in ago ends now. we were talking 24 hours ago john, and i kept asking you when might the banks open? that's what the greek people want to know. we have our answers and it's still just going to be closed. >> reporter: they will be closes for sometimes it seems. >> reporter: well, i think the banks are taking a bullish stanchion here, kamal. i mean, they are lasting as long as they possibly can. but we are not where we were two weeks ago when there were still emergency assistance flowing in to the bring banks because greece was still negotiating and doing so in good faith. since then the declaration of the referendum, the walk out of the talks by the prime ministers

ministers. now the banks are living day-to-day and happened to mouth. here is an example of how precarious the situation is. yesterday one major bank here in athens was only able to keep its atm open you would of its atms open thanks to the fact that two major companies deposited their payroll in cash that, amount of money between eight and 10 million euros literally went from those two company's payrolls in to the atm machines. they are living hands to mouth these banks now. and it's even worse for them in the last 24 hours because the european central bank has decided to further demote, devalue the assets they have been commit to go it in order to draw the emergency liquidity assistance, we don't know by how much. it's a closely kept secret, but it means that they are even less able now to borrow more money against that collateral should

things go well in bulls today and should liquidity continue to flow from the ecb in coming days. so the situation is becoming objectively, financially worse not just politically more difficult. >> extraordinary. >> what is due to happen today? >> reporter: as mrs. merkel said the door is still open and mr. hollande said it's up to mr. sip respite the greek mine minister to bring forward credible proposals. we'll see if there are any positive reactions because that would be the first indication of whether a technical agreement can be hammered out and signed off on in the evening. it's difficult to imagine that process beginning totally from scratch. there has to be elements from

the existing program carried over in to the discussion. otherwise there wouldn't be enough time to begin the discussion anew and conclude it today. i think what you are looking at, is the basic document there was delivered as the object of the referendum but with serious changes on both sides. perhaps the greeks will ask for a greater commit to him debt restructuring than the next four years. perhaps they'll ask for a more long-term approach than that. but that will be politically difficult for the creditors to deliver and in toured get it the greeks have to make some very serious reform proposal of their open, we are now in an area of extremely narrow political maneuvering room where both sides have to make concrete and committed proposals. >> thank you for that. john live in athens for us today. in vee en with iran for the last-minute deal in teheran's nuclear program. the tuesday deadline is, of course looming.
