2:00 am
>> greece's economy in the balance. its parliament approves a bailout referendum for voters to decide as that country faces default. tourists are leaving tunisia after an attack at a beach front hotel that killed 38 people. a fiery explosion in taiwan needs nearly 500 people badly burned. we'll have a live report. welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm george howell at cnn world headquarters in atlanta. >> i'm becky anderson in front
2:01 am
of the hotel in tunisia where a gunman went on a shooting rampage killing at least 38 people. now the attack on this hotel behind me the imperial left this country fleeing this country last night. we saw demonstrators denouncing this attack and demanding better security. we'll have a lot more in a moment including lives lost in tunisia and now those visiting are trying to cope. i want to get to some breaking news out of athens where the greek parliament has approved a bailout referendum set for july 5th. that is almost a week after tuesday's deadline for what is a near $1.8 billion debt payment to the international monetary fund. that payment is most likely in jeopardy after debt extension talks with its creditors broke down on saturday. now the result a very real concern that banks in greece may
2:02 am
not open on monday. over the weekend, people have been queueing up at cash machines and at banks across the country. our editor is joining us now with more with you this morning. greece has been in the euro for 13 years. is there really talk of an exit at this point? >> that's the discussion we're having this morning, becky, despite all the wrangling over the last three or four years, the word grexit is now back on to the table and in fact the last hour it was suggested that it was inevitable. there's a very important teleconference taking place as we speak, that's between the greek central bank president and his counterparts at the european central bank. you can bet that emergency liquidity for greece is on the table. what would happen if there is an exit and how do you transition a
2:03 am
country for that? they don't want this to spiral out of control and there's discussion about capital controls being introduced over the next hour. this event could not have happened at such a worse time for the greece economy. they take in 20 million visitors a year the bulk of whom show up in july and august. there's concern about a contagion, if this is situation in greece could it spread to spain, italy, portugal. many are very upset about alexis tsipras putting this to a rern dumb. >> translator: tonight, the prime minister fully admitted his defeat in the negotiations a failure that he's now burdened the greek people with. >> so they are tugging there --
2:04 am
suggestion there they have these talks 11th hour proposal they could not succeed and now alexis tsipras is putting it to the people. now about a third of the party don't want to roll over to the bank and they want to fight austerity. of the 19 members of the so-called euro zone 18 voted against greece. this may be a great battle for tsipras to fight against austerity. greek people may pay a very heavy price after that referendum vote. >> and this crisis john has been going on for six years. what has been the toll on greeks themselves? >> it's a great point, becky,
2:05 am
because in the toing and froing we often forget about that toll. it's been a very painful toll. greek has the highest debt gdp. unemployment of 26% in the first quarter. that is the worst of any industrialized country. the per cap i at that gdp in six years has fallen by $10,000 for the average greek family. and we've seen $100 billion wiped out of the country's gdp. many talk about a recession over the last six years. if you lose 25% of your economy, you have to go back to the 1930s to see anything in likewise comparison. it has been a crisis. the debt level remains very high. first and foremost do they stay in the euro or not going forward and don't have the support of the european central bank over the months ahead.
2:06 am
>> yeah. keep an eye on that one, viewers. just behind me was the site of an horrific terror attack. it was one of three attacks on friday. others in france and in kuwait. >> reporter: even murderers come to say good-bye that's what zarif said to do here on thursday. his uncle recalls nothing different about him, just a normal regular visit to his parents now being questioned by police. but he does identify him in the picture isis released when they claimed the attack. neighbors stunned what became of the boy who loved dance class at school. he used to love soccer one says always him and his father playing in front of the house.
2:07 am
>> translator: he couldn't have done it. another said. it's like some radicals kidnapped his mind. >> the owner of this coffee shop didn't want to appear on this camera but described him as punctuation -- punctual. his facebook page beginning in 2010 with enimem and soon filling with islamic videos if jihad is a crime, then let the world witness me being a criminal. they insist here no clus of what would follow. nothing here either but perhaps nothing that his family lived on.
2:08 am
sharing this small room father mother sleeping on floors. his cousin didn't want her face shown. >> translator: it's a catastrophe. you never think it can happen in your own home. >>. >> reporter: the small world from which a cold killer emerge now public under scrutiny. he made victims of his own family too. nick peyton walsh, cnn, knew teesh -- knew -- tunisia. a resident here in the area joins me who used to work in the tourism industry is now unemployed and on friday he was here outside the hotel where horror was visited on friday protesting against what happened. just reaction in the first instance to the terror attack here.
2:09 am
>> well, as you said terrorism is the whole thing. we're in shock. the whole country in is in shock. we still can't believe it's happening and we can't believe so many people were dead and so many -- it's really terrific it's really terrific. we can't accept it. we're not used to it. this doesn't even belong to our country, violence killing, blood. >> this sadly, it seems, although it is a unique experience for this town there are youngsters around who it seems believe in a similar ideology to the young guy who caused this attack who murdered at this hotel. does that make sense to you? >> well, you know we have to have a bit of everything in order to make the world work. there are good people i would say the good people are winning.
2:10 am
they are just a minority. they don't represent 1% of society. most of us would want peace and most of us would avoid confrontation, terror at any cost. >> have you ever heard people of your age, friends of yours, talk about extremist ideology and supporting that kind of notion? >> i personally, i try to avoid those people. they do exist. i cannot lie about it. they do exist. as i said earlier, they are really a minority 1% of the whole society of my generation and what can i say? they are part of the world. we need those people because we make a certain equilibrium in this life. >> you used to work in the tourist industry. you are now employed. how tough are things are here? >> things are getting a whole lot tougherful i don't know how they are going to manage this how they are going to manage people are unemployed. we do have 100 hotels here
2:11 am
restaurants. how are they supposed to manage without those people not having something to eat and salary a life not being able to pay the bills, the food rent. >> as you walk down to this position today, you will have walked past some security at the top of the road. it's new. it wasn't here 24 hours or so ago. a little too late in this area. >> i have to roid it's a bit too late. they already knew every year during the same period we do have an attack. i'm not proud of it. but let's the face the facts. it's the way it is. they have been doing this for three years. for three years they have been striking us on ramadan. we have to be extra, extra careful or whatever you want. you have to anticipate this. you have to know what to do because in a hotel where you have 400, 500 people staying in
2:12 am
they can't be all by themselves without no policeman or a weapon to defend them. >> the tourism industry is so important to the country as a whole, some 500,000 people employed in the industry some 6 million incoming travelers a year it makes up 15% of the economy. the economy in bad shape before this attack. what's your message to the government? we're looking at high unemployment a very low base economy, a lot of poverty. people like you are unemployed. what's your message to the government here? >> to be honest and to be frank, i would say strike and strike hard. there is no mercy with them. the same thing that happened with you and 9/11. these people won't understand peaceful talk and debates on tv. those people you need to find them you need put them in prison and put them away. they know who they are. they need to act fast and be
2:13 am
efficient. that's the way it is. there's no other way to see it. no other way to proceed. you have to act fast be efficient, and do what you have to do to keep the country safe. we're really going down in a very fast pace. >> we wish you the best of luck. we thank you very much for joining us. >> you are welcome. >> you are very much reflecting the voice of many people we've spoken to since we were here. when we were here sadly three months ago for the attack in tuneis. this sort of attack providing what many people will say a nail in the coffin for an incredibly important industry here for people like ahmed and others. let's see what the future holds for this country. within the last hour kuwait identifying the suicide bomber in friday's mosque attack as a saudi national. authorities have also arrested this man. they say he drove the bomber to the mosque on friday.
2:14 am
we're live in jordan and we're joined now with what is the very latest information out of kuwait. >> reporter: this latest information coming out as you mentioned in the past hour or so kuwaiti authorities are identifying the man who they said carried out that devastating attack at the mosque in kuwait city on friday. they say as you mentioned, he is a sawedi -- saudi national. they say he arrived by air to kuwait arriving at kuwait international airport on friday. just hours before that attack at the shiite mosque. they are searching for more accomplices on the ground. questions on how he may have received logistics support and access to the explosives that were used at that attack. the identity has been revealed after a number of arrests have
2:15 am
been announced by queue waiti -- kuwaiti authorities over the last 24 hours or so including the man who drove him to the mosque. they say that that he -- there's not much information about him other than saying he's an illegal resident of kuwait and he was born in 1989. another seemingly significant arrest is that of the landlord of this driver. they say that he is aan who bears fundamentalist and extreme ideology so becky now all eyes on this investigation and officials there, the ministry of interior through state media promising more information as they piece together the detail of this devastating attack. the mayor of french town led a moving trib to the victim of what was a bizarre terror attack. residents gathered in his
2:16 am
hometown on saturday to honor his memory. he was described as someone who took care of others and was deeply involved in his community. prosecutors say an employee of his beheaded him and set off an explosion in a warehouse. investigators say the suspect is not cooperating. authorities in taiwan are trying to figure out what caused an explosion that injured hundreds at a waterpark. firefighters say a flammable powder exploded over a stage on saturday night, injuring nearly 520 people. i want to warn you what you are about to see shows the moment dozens of people become engulfed in flames. the video is very graphic. cnn's kathy novak reports.
2:17 am
>> the man at the head of the company that has organized this event here in taipei has apologized and has accepted full responsibility as prosecutors look into the reason behind this disaster that happened here at this waterpark and as you say we need to warn viewers that this story contains very graphic images of the moment that these flames erupted on the stage that many viewers may find disturbing. it was supposed to be a fun night out, dancing with friends, partying at a waterpark, music, flashing lights. then this. a massive fire ball engulfing the stage, terrified people screaming, running for their lives, through flames that seemed to come out of nowhere. the injured carried in the arms
2:18 am
of others some dragged out on inflate inflatable rafts, fellow partygoers doing what they could to school -- cool the skin of those burned in the blaze. beds made available in military hospitals across the region to accommodate the casualties of what the local mayor has said is the worst incident of mass injury in new taipei. it's believe that colored powder that was sprayed on the crowd ignited causing the midair explosion. these events have been held here before. video on the organizers facebook page shows bags of the powder for sale. people throwing it in the air and on friends, a bit of fun, similar to the indian festival or running event around the world. seemingly to blame for this terrifying disaster.
2:19 am
it is very regretful that this accident that caused injuries to many victims. a marketing company had leased out a space for the event. the mayor immediately shutdown the waterpark and ordered an investigation. now, of the more 500 people injured in this incident more than 180 today are in intensive care. grave fears held for those people. we've seen some of their families actually arriving at the waterpark behind me. it of course is closed as this investigation continues. the families have been invited here to actually pick up the belongings of their loved ones and the brother of one of the victims told us that they felt that was quite insensitive and added to the pain to come here to the site of this disaster to pick up the belongings of this person who is now in the hospital with grave fears held. >> how long do they think this
2:20 am
investigation is going to take? >> well, they have been in the park today looking into exactly what went on trying to match up some of the information they have with some of the scenes on the ground. someone involved in it actually showed me some pictures of what it looked like inside and i can tell you it's sort of a sea of sandals and flip flops that people left behind as they obviously ran away from this blaze and now investigators are looking into the stage itself. there were kind of propellant guns that were throwing average amounts of powder into the area. investigators think this is what's to blame for this giant fire ball and they are trying to figure out exactly what it is that ignited the powder. i was shown some of the powder bags that were given to the partygoers and when they are in these small quantities that people were -- everyone was given about three bags each we're told that they shouldn't be flammable but what investigators think what happened here is because there were such large quantities when it mixed with the air and
2:21 am
whatever it might be that ignited it perhaps a light or a faulty wire that is what caused this huge flame that went up in this stage, but the investigations continue. we know that the organizer is being questioned by prosecutors as are the people behind the stage design. so we're waiting to hear more information. >> kathy novak with us this morning. stay with cnn "newsroom." my colleague george howell will be back with more on what is this frantic search for an escaped killer in new york state. taking a very short break. back after this. this summer, get ready for suspense. unbridled jealousy. she's still there. new beginnings. goodbye. and sheer exhilaration. and sheer exhilaration. lock and load. roger. it's the event you don't want to miss. it's the summer of audi sales event. get up to $3000 bonus on select audi models now during the summer of audi sales event.

2:29 am
i'm becky anderson in tunisia. here's an update on the top stories we're following for you this hour. greek lawmakers have approved a bailout referendum set for july 5th. that calls on the people of
2:30 am
greece to vote on whether to accept the terms of europe's bailout. creditors rejected greece's request for a one-month extension. as things stand, if tuesday's deadline is mot -- not met, greece will be in default. nearly 500 people were hurt at an explosion in taiwan. it happened during a party put on by a marketing company that rented out space at the park. hundreds of tunisians took to the streets denouncing friday's terror attacks with rallies outside of this hotel where i'm standing where a gunman murdered at least 38 people. the u.k. says 15 of its citizens are dead and then officials say this is the most significant attack on its countrymen since the 2005 transit bombings. kuwaiti police have arrested the suspected driver for a
2:31 am
suicide bomber who killed 27 worshippers at a mosque. thousands kuwait easy buried the victims on saturday. isis claimed responsibility for the attack. i want to get back to the greek debt crisis says. the eu says it would mean it's in default and potential of being forced out of the european union is very real. i'm joined by elinda lalaprolou. the government will say this is an exercise in democracy. we need to bat this proposal back to the people. it's not up to the government to make a decision on its behalf. they are putting the country in an awful lot of danger at this point. how do people feel? >> well, you are absolutely feel. they are putting the country in a lot of danger and this is why i'm going to show you this. this is a poll that came out today in one of the greek papers
2:32 am
saying that 57% of greeks if they had to answer the question between euro or drakma she would say euro. this was very interesting. this poll was conducted three days started on the 24th ended on 26th midnight just an hour effectively before the prime minister made the announcement of a referendum and it also shows that the vast majority of people would actually agree to pay bailout -- to a bailout deal if this was proposed to them. so the timing of this is very significant because the euro group said that they were actually working on yet another proposal and an improved proposal when the greek prime minister made this announcement. we're also waiting for a number of political developments here of course as we follow the bang situation but i think this clearly shows that the support for the euro is still there in greece. >> she's reporting for you on
2:33 am
what is a story that we are continuing to cover as -- as these developments happen. here in tunisia, visitors say they were on the beach, enjoying the sun for one moment and scared for their lives the next. i'm talking about the beach behind me through the lobby of this hotel just some 100 yards away. phil black spoke with some of the stunned survivors at a local hospital. >> reporter: on the second day of her third holiday to tunisia, chris callahan was chased about a terrorist and shot in the leg. her right femur shattered. what were those moments like? >> they were terrible. absolutely terrible. i couldn't believe it was happening. my right leg was laying across my stomach. >> she knows she was lucky. chris says a woman in the panicked crowd next to her was shot four times. >> this lady was bleeding so
2:34 am
heavily, and i was laying in her blood, trying to keep her awake. she drifted off and i witnessed it. >> in another room we meet this ukrainian. like some of the injured, she's still wearing a bracelet that shows she's a guest of the hotel. she says the impact felt like a kick. she tied a towel around her leg and tried to hide in the sand. belgian claude pisare says he was close to the gunman but remembers little about him. he was too scared. this is the x-ray. you can see the round and where it's hit the bone breaking it. claude usually visits tunisia
2:35 am
twice a year but no more. he says he's sorry for his tunisian friends, they are good people but it's too dangerous and he thinks it's going to stay that way for a long time. phil black, cnn, tunisia. local tunisians filled the streets outside this hotel behind me denouncing friday's terror attack on saturday. the prime minister has announced a crackdown on what he calls illegal mosques. i want to bring in terrorism expert who is the international security director of the asia-pacific foundation joining me live via skype in london. at the end of the road there is in security. there is none on friday or saturday when the media arrived. there is at least a show of force in this town where this terrible crime was committed. but your thoughts on what the
2:36 am
government is saying what sort of actions it's taking at the moment shutting down mosques. >> it is important that the government reacts and takes appropriate measures to try and prevent something like this happening again especially as tunisia's tourism industry is vital for the country's economy, but i would question whether closing down mosques is going to change anything in the long term and if these mosques that the government describes as being venom venomous incubators why wasn't action taken after the museum attack. what needs to be done is to assess where are the tunisians are getting radicalized especially with the fact that so many of their nationals have
2:37 am
gone to link up with terrorists in iraq and syria. >> it's not clear where the attacker who killed 38 people in this hotel friday was radicalized or how. we just spoke to a local here. he is unemployed. he used to work in the tourism industry. he's now unemployed as i say and i asked him whether he had come across people youngsters of his age in their 20s, who bought into this extremist ideology and he says he has. they are around. he keeps away from him. they are around though. the government cannot close down on everybody who is learning to be radicalized, for example, on social media. they don't have to be in cells at universities for example or radicalized in libya or syria or iraq do they? the challenge is enormous.
2:38 am
>> it's a substantial challenge because as you mentioned it's one dynamic, of course people getting radicalized through the internet. the other dynamic, especially tunisia is there are high levels of rural unemployment especially also in the outer suburbs of the major cities like tunis and you have the knock-on effect from neighboring libya. libya has an isis affiliate operating in the eastern part of the country. there is this concern that it's potentially seeping into neighboring tunisia. many tunisian radicals have gone and joined that movement itself. this is a huge problem for the government. they are going to alter their security substantially. they are going to have to the security like they have in egypt and jordan. what tunisia is experiencing is what egypt had in 1997 following
2:39 am
the luxor massacre. >> thank you. this country held itself out as a beacon of hope post 2011 with a democratically elected government. the idea now that its number one priority must be going forward security and it begs the question what happens to this democratic society going forward. in kuwait thousands of people turn out for the funerals of 27 worshippers killed during a suicide bombing at a mosque during friday prayers. on sunday, authorities arrested the man they say drove the bomber to the mosque. the attack meant to tear apart sunni and shy i can't moss -- shia muslims. quite possibly though it's bringing them together. >> a suicide bomber callously eyes his soon-to-be victims. 27 people died in the attack. more than 200 injured, including
2:40 am
children. isis has claimed the attack and says the bomber is. . they say arrests have been made. security now beefed up across the country. this attack comes as isis issued a threat during the holly month -- holy month of ramadan. saying take the initiative oh, muslim and rush over to jihad and rise up oh, mujhedeen everywhere in order to make ramadan a month of ka lality on the infidels. mourners from both sects gathered to bury the death. kuwait's emir hurried to the scene and added this attack would not divide the nation. the blast was meant to tear
2:41 am
asunder the fabric of the well knitted kuwaiti society by fomenting sectarian divisions and conflicts but that would not happen as kuwait is value their unity and societal solidarity. kuwaiti officials haven't said if they know the nationality of the suicide bomber but there's fear he could be one of their own. since the early 90s, this small gulf nation has been a safe harbor adjacent to bloody conflict. tonight, many kuwaitis wonder if this is just the beginning. at this hour u.s. secretary of state john kerry is meeting with the iranian foreign minister in vee anna -- vienna
2:42 am
with just days to finalize a nuclear deal. both say more work is needed to iron out differences on remaining issues. iran and five other world powers have until tuesday to negotiate a deal in exchange for sanctions relief. joining us now is nick robertson. he's live in vienna. let's discuss the latest. i want to throw out the context for this nick which is so incredibly important. you just heard the report on the suicide bombing in kuwait following up from one in saudi, of course in france. we saw a terror attack and here indeed in tunisia. we are clearly aware of the growing shia-sunni rift across the arab region and you got this as the context for these talks in iran libya, syria, iraq for example. how does that influence what's going on if at all
2:43 am
[ ? >> in context of how this deal may go on with iran certainly sunni nations, it raises a level of concern that this deal must be a strong deal and it must stop iran being able to have a nuclear weapon and certainly you get sort of echoes of that when we hear the positions being laid out. we take it the french foreign minister arrived here yesterday, laid out very clear red lines for iran that it needs to have -- give inspectors full access to even military sites, where there may be concerns about nuclear developments going on there. their research and development should be curtailed for quite a long period as is envisioned. that sanctions could be snapped back on if they don't continue to verify. i think when we hear that from
2:44 am
people from the french foreign minister the french does business with sunnis in the gulf region we're echoes of concerns not just american and european concerns we're hearing concerns from sunnies -- sunnis in the gulf. >> the heat wave in pakistan is the worst in decades. our meteorologist eric van damme has the latest forecast from the cnn world weather center in just a moment. we're taking a short break. we'll be back after this. ss have a mind? a subconscious. a knack for predicting the future. reflexes faster than the speed of thought. can a business have a spirit? can a business have a soul? can a business be...alive?
2:45 am

2:47 am
welcome back to cnn "newsroom." i'm george howell. let's talk about that heat wave
2:48 am
in pakistan. it is the worst in 35 years. the heat has killed more than 1,000 people so far. our meteorologist derek van damme is at the world weather center with when that heat may subside. >> it was certainly the peak of the heat wave about four or five days ago when temperatures were in the upper 40s. you factor in the humidity it was higher than that. in the past few days we've seen temperatures drop off a few degrees. average temperatures this time of year is 33. we saw daytime highs of 37 to 36 degrees depending on where you were located. regardless this has been an extremely oppressive heat and the fatalities that have been reported now towering over 1,200 people 65,000 people have been treated have been treated so far for heat-related areas, in and
2:49 am
