plus... .. ..what does art sound like? we visit an exhibition in london we begin the newshour in china's government is scrambling to stop the main stock market from crumbling, the chang high composite closed 9.5%, a staggering one day lose. this is the tip of the iceberg. all in thaul $3.2 trillion has been wiped off the stock market. almost a third of the value, in the past 12 months stocks rose 150% despite a struggling economy. it's made many people rich. the problem, though is that many investors have literally mortgaged the house to pour money into the mark. chinese brokers loaned $339

billion to traders. scott heidler is following the story from beijing. continuing a 4-week slide, market in china closed down. the biggest indicis, the shanghai index closed down 6%. adding to 30% of markets. the markets saw a sell off, 3.2 trillion. something else we see continuing on wednesday, and that is more companies are taking their stocks off the market. they are not allowing them to be traded. the total numbers are 1400, a few more hundred taken off the markets. the central government has reacted to what is going on. state controlled enterprises will continue to be traded and is encouraging senior managers and stock holders to continue to trade on a mash. the central government called what has happened a panic and irrational sell off. as we see, mechanisms put in

place, statements and commitments - the market sell off is continuing. tony nash is chef economist for chief intelligence and explains how the slump in china will spillover. if you look at the markets in china, hong kong taiwan and japan. 730 billion was lost today. so what does it mean? it's lost wealth. and i think the potential spillover of this is greater than what is in the headlines over the past week which is grease. china is the second-largest economy in the world. it is the driver of north-east asia and greater ain economies. if you know with this lost wealth in the stock market. that means there's less liquidity in the system in china, and that means people and companies spend less. that can have an impact on asia

europe and the states. this is not state government that people look at and say it only effect china turning to greece another financial crisis e.u. leaders set a deadline for a deal on a bail out. if there is none it will cut support to greek banks. prime minister alexis tsipras received applause and cheers as he baulk walked into the parliament of strasburg. dominik gaen is there. in an ig passioned address to parliament, alexis tsipras outlined the pain that his county endured. he acknowledged some errors by his government, but said other governments had a responsibility to bear equally, and outlined the sorts of proposals his country will make to try to get

one last bailout from the european union and it was, in effect, an urgent call for help. >> translation: we demand an agreement with our neighbours, but one that gives a sign that we are on a long-lasting basis exiting the crisis, that demonstrates there is light at the end of the tunnel, an agreement bringing about incredible reforms. . >> the problem alexis tsipras faces is the eurozone leaders, the president of the european council and yoourp een commission have put a time limit on the negotiations. mr donald tusca said proposals need to be put forward by thursday and there must be a deal on sunday. overriding this is the greek economy owe considerable sums of money to creditors. the i.m.f. payment was meant to be made on june 30th they are in arrears to the tune of 1.6 billion, and must make a payment to the e.c.b. on july the 20th of 3.46 billion euros,

there's no sign they'll be able to do that. let's get the view from athens with john psaropoulos, who is standing by for us. as we saw, sunday was said to be the deadline and some ideas of proposals must be submitted by thursday. any developments on that from greece. >> that is a good question. we know the government predicted that it would collect close to $3.5 billion from tax evasion before it was elected. that has not materialized. we do know that a bill has been prepared in the finance ministry we have seen it clamping down on corporate transactions between greece and overseas subsidiaries serving as a form of tax evasion and it

would champ down on fuel smuggling estimated to cost the government a billion. had has not come to parliament. nor has it been posted for public consultation. we don't know how serious they are, that alexis tsipras talks about quite often and mentions in the european parliament. he seems to be extending your hand and asking for help. he doesn't seem to do anything on the ground. from any assistance from overseas. he doesn't reign in the economy. he spoke of a collusion between the established political parties, the oligarchs and the bankers, he hasn't taken steps against them. he hasn't checked them really. now we expect to hear that he is going to no forward with roughly what we saw last week in terms

of propose a which is the package of austerity that he accepted before the referendum was held and that the european union proposed to him, we expect that's the only real basis for discussion, and nothing radically different will be put forward. >> in the meantime as the sunday deadline loorges the greek banks are running out of money, how are ordinary greeks coping on a daily base. >> well the economy is slowly as fixiated, in the words of the president of the trade federation here. businesses cannot cost money or draw loans contracted from banks. they have to live hand to mouth, and don't forget 90% employment is provided to small and

medium-sized businesses. these are companies with not enormous cash reserve, but with exposure to firsty attitudes and are at the first your of levels and demand is dropping. less money is being spent and the position is becoming more and more desperate. >> thank you, john psaropoulos there with a pact of how greeks are hoping on a daily basis. reporting from athens. >> well, it's a year since israel began a bombardment of gaza, a war that went on for 50 days. despite pledges to rebuild the strip, an simented 100,000 -- estimated 100,000 are displaced. more than 2,000 palestinians were killed more than 10,000 wounded. a u.n. says 75% of the victims were civil yoons, among the israelis 66 soldiers and five

civilians, the u.n. said 89,000 homes in gaza will be damage and will cost nearly $8 billion to rebuild. people that lost their homes are lying among the ruins of what is left. we spoke to a homeless man that can barely make ends meet. >> this man has not climbed these steps in nearly a year. they used to lead into what was a large home he shared with his extended family. now all that is left is rubble after israeli tank shelled it. they lost more than his house during the 50 day war, and they lost most of his family. the photos are all they have left of his wife, sons, daughter and grandson who were killed in a strike. for the past year, he and the surviving members have barely been able to make ends meet. and that hamas which controlled gaza and fatah, a party of

palestinian president have not done enough. >> translation: hamma and fat e are too busy fighting each other to help us. they give money only to their own people only god can help us. international donors pledged billions of dollars to rebuild gaza, but israel's siege meant badly needed instruction -- construction materials lining cement have not been allowed in. despite offers by the united nations o oversee the process. israel's continuing blockade of gaza means just 1% of reconstruction material needed for gaza has been delivered. according to the united nations, the influx of goods is so slow that it could take up to 30 years to rebuild. which is why around 20,000 palestinians live in temporary shelters like these. most don't have electricity and

running water. families have to share one room. as living conditions worsen, many are angry. senior hamas spokesman says he understands the frustration. >> people are suffering. we have to do everything to help people. we have to do everything, for example, to open the crossings. to give chance for construction. this is now the mission of hamas, and fatah, to work together and put the differences behind their back. >> reporter: that is small comfort to this man, who at 80 years old is the guardian of four of his grandsons after their parents were killed. he finds it difficult to worry for their futures when their lives now are hard. stay with us here on al jazeera, we'll have more on the debt crisis engulfing greece.
