9:01 am
rebel-held territory. >> family values and helping the poor. pope francis spreads the message during his south american tour. >> now talks between the six world powers and iran over its nuclear program will go beyond tuesday's deadline. the e.u.'s foreign policy chief said negotiations will continue over the next few days to reach a possible break through. the interim nuclear deal, which was set to expire has been extended until friday. u.n. sanctions on iran's bliss system missile program and an arms embargo remain the sticking points. iran wants international sanctions to be lifted, which have crippled its economy and slashed oil exports. >> we are continuing to
9:02 am
negotiate for the next couple of days. that does not mean we are extending our deadline. i told you one weeing a more or less, we are interpreting in a flexible way four deadline, which means we are taking the dates that we'll need to finalize the agreement which is something that is still possible, even if now we are getting into the difficult times. >> we can go live now to our diplomatic editor james bays there at the talks in vienna. james, so again just giving us an indication of how tough these negotiations are at this particular point. >> absolutely. we're hearing this from a number of the key figures in the last hour and as i speak we heard from the e.u. foreign policy representative in charge of the foreign policy of the european
9:03 am
union. we heard from sergey lavrov, the russian foreign minister lose heaving shortly. he said there are eight or so problems that they have to face and deal with, but he believes it will be possible to get a deal in the next few days. the french foreign minister, as i speak is just a few meters away from me, addressing the french press pool about the situation now and the state of these negotiations. our understanding is that mr. lavrov, and the chinese foreign minister plan to leave vienna for now but ready to return when we are closer to a deal, when they're able to deal with these final sticking points. no new deadline has been set. they say simply a matter of hours and days as they continue negotiations, but tellingly the interim deal that was done back in geneva quite some time ago has been extended until friday, until the 10th of july.
9:04 am
i'm sure some people will seize on that as potentially a new deadline, but of course that could be extended again. >> diplomatic sources who are always briefing their favorites in the press corps have suggested that there is this demand by the iranians to include iran's ballistic missile program as part of the bundle of arrangements that are dealt with under the banner of its nuclear program and that this is what the other parties to these talks are taking exception to. is that how you understand it? >> well, that is one potentially one of these eight sticking points that are on the list. yes, when you look back at the u.n. security council sanctions that are against iran and are related to its nuclear program there are sanctions that aren't directly related to nuclear. they're related to conventional
9:05 am
weaponry and there are those ballistic missiles and also the overall arms embargo on iran. we believe that is part of the difficulties and most of the difficulties we're told are about the whole way this deal will be implemented so about that u.n. sanctions route and the timing of that. we believe that is one of the sticking points, but not the only sticking point. we do believe certainly from mr. lavrov's comment he didn't speak to all of the press he spoke inside and only invited a small group of russian media outlets in to hear his words, we do believe that the issue he says, of the military use of iran's nuclear program and its past activities, his words were that that seems now to have been solved. that was previously another of the sticking points, but we only get from each of these ministers
9:06 am
some indication of where the sticking points are no one is prepared to give us a full readout of the substance and exactly where the differences are. from listening to all the briefings, we try and put it altogether and give you the most complete picture possible. >> you're doing a very good job james, thank you very much. >> now there have been strong words against greece, as the european finance ministers have been raving for last stitch bailout talks in brussels. latvia's central bank governor said greece has voled itself out of the euro zone after sunday's referendum. germany's prime minister repeats that berlin opposes an overall cut in greek debt. tuesday's meetings have been build as the last chance for greek to stay in the current currency. greek banks are down to their last reserves of cash and remain closed. >> the prime minister alexis tsipras with him address the emergency european leaders summit car later on tuesday. the creditors say they are prepared to talk even after
9:07 am
mr. tsipras walked out of negotiations june 26 and then proceeded to call a referendum but said they want concrete proposals from him. >> we have reporters in both athens and in brussels. john is in the greek capital. first let's go to jacki roland in brussels. it seems as though euro zone leaders and european leaders are placing it firmly on the shoulders of the greek prime minister. >> very much so. they have safe it's because the greeks refused they last proposals put forward by the euro zone, a resounding n from sunday. it's very much in the greek court, it's for the greek prime minister to come forward now with new proposals. it made it very clear that they're not going to cut the greeks much slack on these proposals. they say it must be serious and cell. certainly one of the finance
9:08 am
minister arriving for the meeting was stressing that if in fact the greeks think this is a result of the no in the referendum that somehow exempts the idea that they will have to make serious reforms and that would go a big mistake a big error in thinking. in fact, the onus is very much on the greeks to make serious concessions, to come forward with serious proposals otherwise it really will be the end of the road. we must remember they've already defaulted on one loan repayment installment to the i.m.f. they've got another deadline back on the 20th of july, another large sum that has to be paid back. really, they are looking at the end of the road now. the european leaders are saying it's urgent and they need to come quickly. most analysts and economists in europe would say that they expect it's more likely at this stage for greece to leave the euro than to remain in it. >> jacki roland live in
9:09 am
brussels. john i suppose it's actually, it's cash veil in the banks that is really the clearest indicator of the situation that greece is in today. >> well, the banking crisis may simply also vent on the ground no matter how well or badly the discussion is going in brussels. the real economy is dying suffering poor months as these talks have been going on and the political uncertainty here has put a stop to any investment greek or from overseas. greeks are saying things can get worse, and they just have in the last week, banks shut their doors. they stopped financing businesses that have taken out loans, they can no longer continue to finance themselves using those loans. everything's come to a halt and the banks are now in trouble waiting for the healthier customers to pay in payroll to take that cash and put it into
9:10 am
a.t.m.'s, the greeks have gone to brussels with a cross party mandate, which was negotiated here over a seven our conference yesterday, and it empowers and encourages mr. tsipras the prime minister to do four things. he is seeking an agreement which finances his government through the next few years at least two years, the i.m.f. thinks he's going to need $50 billion for that alone. secondly, he wants this program to be socially fair. he doesn't want to burden the pensioners again. he wants a development prom attached to it and restructuring discussed. that's a very difficult agenda for the europeans. it would be particularly generous on the german side to discuss that debt restructuring. >> ok, live from athens. >> we've got a lot more to come on this al jazeera news hour. taliban strikes twice in the

9:18 am
is not true that we want two armies. we just want that -- we believe it will take a period of three years. >> the problem is, isn't it, with a new garage jail country like yours any kind of conflict is going to fall into ethnic lines, isn't it, because now effectively what we have in so you had sudan is a war. >> this we have avoided so much if we look at the leadership of our government and south sudanese is spreading in the

9:38 am
competing forms under the auspices of the ruling party has been problematic. this current agreement consolidates a number of agreements they have signed in the pass, so there's nothing new in there that anyone would be worried about. the issue is whether there is enough in there to keep both parties faithful to the agreement and whether the parties brought around the table have enough leverage to keep both parties true to what they sign if they sign anything on the 19th. >> ok, thank you very much for giving us an idea of how complex these talks are. thanks. >> silence is held across britain on the 10th 10th anniversary of the july 7 attacks in london. people gathered at tube stations that were attacked to remember those who died. 52 people were killed as well as the four bombers on three trains and a bus.
