found. faith that one day justice will be served. ♪ another black church burns in the southern u.s. we will bring you details on what we know this hour. greece goes in to default after missing a major deadline. we will look at what happens next. cuba and the u.s. take a major step toward renewing their relations. welcome all of our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm zain asher. >> and i'm errol barnett. this is cnn newsroom. >> we begin this hour with breaking news in the u.s. the fbi and other federal agencies are now investigating a fire at a predominantly black

church in south carolina. authorities say they don't know how this fire started at the mount zion african methodist episcopal church in greeleyville. it is an hour's drive north of charleston. that's where nine people were killed last month in a racially motivated church at another black church. >> to put this in context for you. this is not the first time this particular church has burned. in 1995 members of the ku klux klan torched the previous building in a series of church fires that swept lu the south. despite all of this the church's elder said he doesn't want to pass judgment. >> i need to withhold an opinion until an investigation has taken place. and again, we had heard there were two or three christian churches burned in the last two

weeks. but whether that is a factual account or not, i don't know. at this point, our hearts simply go out to the small, hard-working congregation. >> that's certainly troubling what happened. but at least six fires have broken out at churches in the southern eastern united states since the charleston church killings. investigators say two of them may have been arson. there's no evidence so far that they were hate crimes. >> you can take a look on-line. #who's burning black churches is trending. it is almost a flash back in the '60s. >> and people want to know who's responsible. >> we will bring you updates and try to speak with a witness this hour if we can connect with someone on the phone. for now we turn to greece the only developed nation ever to default on a loan from the international monetary fund. athens failed to make the $1.7

billion payment. instead asking for more time. >> european leaders rejected that request but said they would consider yet another bailout proposal when they meet today. greek banks are closed and there are strict limits on how much cash people can withdrawal from atms. i want to bring in our assay suarez live. we have a referendum on sunday. do people in greece really understand the consequences of voting no of what a potential greek exit from the eurozone will look like? >> good morning, zain and errol. to your question i'm going to be completely honest. first the question is absolutely confusing and convoluted. it basically asks, do you accept the terms of what the europeans are putting forward and it has five pages annexed for you and it would take hours to sift

through. they don't understand the question. they are looking do we want the euro. that's how they are looking at. this a lot of people are wondering if the referendum will go ahead and given the fact they have asked for a third bailout in six years. i wanted to know how the camps divided which way people wanted to go. i took to the streets to get a sense of what is a pretty divided nation. >> high above the battle lines are hard to make out. walk the streets of athens an the ruptures are easy to spot. this is a city and a nation deeply divided. both politically and ied logicallylodge idealogically. >> where money speaks volumes, locals tell me they have never been this nervous. i meet a lawyer in the local square. she tells me her concerns have grown in the last few days following the growing support.

>> most of them are for euro. they want to say yes, the referendum. however, many young people they think they don't have anything to lose. so in this with this argument with this thought, they might vote for no. >> reporter: it is this very thought that has many on edge. with a rising number concerned the rest of the country understand the risk that a no vote would bring. >> hopefully next sunday we will vote yes because we want to remain in the european union. that's where we belong. >> what i have noticed is that greeks are not talking in one voice. we will drive two kilometers away from this affluent area of athens and hear from the people who are defiantly pushing for a no vote. here in the populous neighborhood the no campaign is in full swing.

with posters placed in every corner. ana tells me we in this historical area 0 are fighting to get our lives and dignity back. we are finding hope in the fact the public will make their mark on sunday. this defiance is palpable and understandable. this is after all a symbolic neighborhood of the left. alexis tsipras made this his first stop when he was elected and it seems his rhetoric as shaped part of athens. he tells me the best for him and his country is to leave the eurozone for good because we have seen the size of solidarity in the eurozone and it is nonexistent, he said. a country that stands on the edge of an economic precipice. >> we expected the referendum to go until sunday. we are waiting to hear from the

greek government as to whether that will still happen. yesterday, we saw the yes camp the camp that wants to stay in europe the camp saying yes to eu proposals. it was raining but the crowds were large. to me they seemed bigger than the no camp. many are asking whether that is the reason that alexis tsipras is worried. >> that's right. alexis tsipras is saying if the yes count wins he will end up resigning. he will quit essentially. could be a political fall outfrom this. >> i'm not sure how much patience our viewers have for this story but euro greek leaders are showing no signs -- or i should say they are too losing patience with the greek government. they spoke to our richard quest a short time before tuesday's deadline. there's no quick fix at the

moment. the only thing we can do, but that will require different political stance from the government is to start talks on the future. as the political stance hasn't changed, and we're still going for a referendum and the government is campaigning for a no vote that seems to be very difficult base to have serious and constructive talks upon. >> do you see the point of the referendum this weekend? i know you are not the prime minister of greece but the existing bailout has gone. there's a new esm request. i'm not sure i have know what greek people would be voting upon. would you agree. >> that is a question you will have to ask the greek government. i'm not opposed to referendum. they can be a useful instrument. the big question is what is actually the question you put to the people and what's the

alternative? i think it is up to the greek government and political parties that are campaigning for or against to answer those questions. so i won't interfere with that. what i do know is unfortunately the last chance to get a solid extension of the old program has gone by. the ecb had to take measures to maintain stability of the banks and we are now in a difficult situation. >> that was more than ten years ago that argentina found itself in a similar difficult situation. later this hour we will find out what greece can learn from argentina and the decade of recovery. more information on the breaking news at this hour. a fire at a predominantly black church in south carolina has people talking on social media, connecting it to a number of other fires that we have seen over the past week since the a number of people were killed in a black church in south

carolina. the state representative mcknight, is one of the people unnerved by what had happened. he has been sending tweets from the scene and is joining us on the phone. first, can you tell us at this stage if the mount ieson ame church is on fire and what the status of the situation on the ground is right now? >> good evening. the fire has been contained right now. they are in investigation mode. we have members of our state investigate i have team south carolina law enforcement division their arson investigators are here and they have also been supplemented and added to by the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms. they have investigators on the scene, as well. >> we understand that the fbi, i'm not sure if it is confirmed, the fbi of course is investigating a number of fires

over the past week including this one. talk to us about the history of this church and its prominence, i understand it in the mid-90s. former members of the kkk were successful in burning down this church. >> that's right. in 1995 the klu klux klan burned this church. at that time in 1995 there were several church fires that were deliberately set throughout the southeastern united states and this schurch was a victim of that. it was at that time that then president clinton supported the community. he came here to this church. was here when they dedicated this facility that burned tonight. so this church is no stranger to church fires. again, we don't know what the cause of the fire is yet. we are hoping and praying it is not arson but don't have word yet from the arson investigators. >> south carolina state respective on the phone with us.

the fire is contained there at the meth psy mount zion ame church a terror attack at a beach resort. we want to go to cnn international correspondent who is live from sousse. we know that tunisia is stepping up security measures and tourism is crucial to the industry in tunisia there. explain what authorities are doing to keep people safe. >> the hope is by deploying visibly armed tourists police that it will return some skens e sense of security to some of these beaches. just below me here even at the height of the middle of the day at what would have been really kind of tourist rush hour more

than half of those sun loungers are sitting empty and it is really something this country cannot afford. it has already taken quite a bit hit half the last terror attack at the museum. it had a big impact on the tourism industry here. the country's economy cannot afford this to be the death blow. many are asking why it is taken so long with quite a few days post attack now. a lot of tourists we were speaking to said they wanted to stay and support the tunisian people but they weren't given the support they felt they needed. many others who were on the beach that day, said it took as much as 45 minutes for authorities to come. a lot of locals said they had to form a cordon to protect tourists wait whiling for the police too come while the killer was on the rampage.

why was the response time so long and why are there only two arrests at this point in what should be an advanced ivestigation. >> some of those tourists are bravely defiant, deciding to stay on in that beach resort. we appreciate that. thank you. a milestone in relations between the u.s. and cuba. >> u.s. president barack obama is set to announce that both countries will reopen their respected embassies in washington and havana. >> for more than 50 years, cuba and the united states hasn't had formal diplomatic ties. jim acosta has more on this new relationship. >> it has been in the works for months. now the reality of ending cold war tensions with cuba is fast approaching. senior administration officials say they will announce later this morning they have reached an agreement to reestablish diplomatic relations and reopen embassies in havana and washington. for now both governments have

only had small intersection offices but they will be full-blown embassies. the president and secretary of state john kerry will have more to say on this later in the morning and kirby may travel to havana for the opening of the embassy. >> that's something we are entertaining right now. i don't have anything specific to talk to you in terms of his travel right now. what we are focused on is less the travel schedule and more the effort here in achieving the president's objective of restoring diplomatic negotiations with cuba what that looks like. how that is processed and how we do it over time. >> the white house has not ruled out a presidential trip to cuba before president obama wraps up his time in office. >> that is jim acosta reporting from las vegas washington. errol? u.s. law enforcement agencies are preparing for the upcoming 4th of july holiday on saturday. police said the security will be sgrit gritter this independent

den day than in years past. there have been no credible threats against this year's festivities but isis leader and supporters called for violence against american security government and the public over the past year. meantime in yemen some 1200 prisoners have been freed after militants stormed a prison in a southern city of taiz. taiz has been the scene of fierce battles between yemeni fighters rebel and rebels. the investigation in to a prison break in new york state is expanding. details coming up. recovery operations are underway in indonesia after a deadly plane crash. we will go there live for the latest.

the doors of this bank in athens. you can see a number of people i think it is fair to say they are older. all appearing lined up and crowded outside of a bank with one individual trying to kind of keep order. this is the third day that people in the country are permitted to only withdrawal 60 euros a day. >> couldn't imagine what it must be like particularly for pensioners people with savings in banks at this time. it is a time of so much uncertainty in greece. of course we have a referendum coming up on sunday when greece will decide whether to accept the harsh terms of international creditors. there's slight chaos outside of the bank clearly. >> this is despite the prime minister's assurances earlier in the week that pensions would be paid that people would be able to get their salaries. because of the technical confusion at many of the banks and atms people haven't been able to get access to their money. as we approach this uncertain

referendum people are getting more frustrated more angry and it's becoming more difficult to maintain order. this is a live picture for you, giving you a sense of he mood in one location there in athens. certainly i think it is representative of really what is happening. >> it is not just about withdrawing 60 euros a day. you have to think of what happens next week an the week after. that's where the uncertainty is coming. >> everyone we talked to say it doesn't look good. we will continue to track that. right now we want to talk about the escapees from the prison in new york. >> reporter: the jailbreak investigation now in full swing looking in to how prisoners richard matt and david sweat hatched their escape plan. sweat told police they conducted a practice run the night before the escape. this according to a state official. investigators also looking at

whether guards on the so-called honor block were sleeping during their shifts which would have allowed the escapees to easily leave their jail cells and prepare for their escape. meanwhile, three executives and nine security staff, including prison superintendent steven rossett and his deputy have been put on administrative leave. matt was shot and killed in these woods on friday. cnn obtained a graphic image that some viewers might find disturbing soon after matt's capture, showing he was shot in the top of the head. sweat shot twice in the torso on sunday during his capture is now hospitalized. his condition upgraded today to fair showing improvement. he's talking to investigators. there's another big investigation beyond the jailbreak. the fbi has launched a probe in to possible broader corruption at the clinton correctional facility including pos r possible drug trafficking and other criminal behavior among

prison employees and inmates. officials say some employees have told investigators about heroin use among prisoners and that employees may have played a role in the drug trade. former clinton correctional facility said a heroin ring would not surprise him at all. >> i was in federal, state and county prisons. there's heroin use in every single prison. if the feds want to tackle this they better get ready. >> reporter: a source says joyce mitchell admitted to smuggling hacksaw blades by putting them in meat and giving them to matt. richle is said to be, quote, ecstatic the manhunt is over. what's next for sweat? even though authorities want to know more about the escape plot and who helped him, observers say it's unlikely he will get a plea deal out of it. it is also unlikely sweat will end up back at clinton correctional facility.

>> when typically they would be like he's our champion they are going to be spitting on him. he's garbage now. >> jason carroll, cnn, dannemora, new york. indonesia now where crews are looking for answers in the burned wreckage of a military plane as families welcome for their loved ones following the deadly plane crash. dozens have been killed and the death toll could rise as recovery operations continue. i want to bring in cnn correspondent david mall coe who is joining us. from what i understand speaking to you last hour, this plane has no black boxes. how do investigators figure out what went wrong here? >> correct. that's what one military spokesperson is telling us. there is a lot of misinformation different officials saying different

things. we believe the plane may not have that critical data recorder. what they have here that they didn't have six months ago is eyewitness accounts of exactly what happened. eyewitnesses saying they saw flames potentially smoke from one of the engines. there were withins to the -- -- all there for investigators to begin to look at. zain i should mention that fundamentally yes the investigation is important finding the cause is important. but this is a human tragedy. in a sense it was a military accident but it is taking -- it is feeling much like a civilian aircraft like a passenger plane. that's because it was not just military members on board, but families and relatives and in some cases we're hearing as many as four or five people from the same family aboard that plane.

zain. >> that is heart breaking. dozens of people killed. as the recovery operations continue of course our thoughts are going out to those family members david molko, we appreciate your reporting. reuters is reporting that a plane that crashed in taipei in february had shut off the working engine after the other lost power. that's according to a source with knowledge of a new report in the investigation. you may remember this video. the crash was captured on dashboard video. 43 people were on board and died as a result of this crash. the latest report set to be released on thursday. soon after the crash aviation officials in taiwan said they would examine the possibility that the crew had turned off the left tengen. transasia has not commented on the latest findings. a quick break. within we come back the scenes

in greece will look familiar to people in argentina. we will talk about the lessons learned. and the u.s. gets yet another republican candidate for president. a politician known for his blunt and brash style. >> and another one. >> stay with us. . >> ideas and hard truths. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. isn't it time to let the real you shine through? introducing otezla apremilast. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. some people who took otezla saw 75% clearer skin after 4 months. and otezla's prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't take otezla if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. otezla may increase the risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. side effects may include diarrhea

you are watching cnn newsroom. thank you for staying with us. >> here are our top headlines right now. u.s. federal agencies are investigating a fire at a predominantly black church in south carolina. authorities say they don't know how it started at the mount zion african-american episcopal

church in is in greeleyville an hour north of charleston where nine people were killed in a racially motivated shooting at another black church last month. greeks are lining up outside of bank nk banks after the country defaulted on the loan to the imf. european leaders rejected a last-minute appeal for more time to pay its debts. they will meet today to consider a new greek bailout request. the u.s. and cuba are restoring diplomatic ties by reopening their respective embassies them latest in a diplomatic shift that u.s. president barack obama initiated last year. havana and u.s. have not had embassies in each other's countries for 50 years. 91 bodies recovered after a military plane crashed. local officials say they expect the number to climb. the military says 122 people were on the c-130, when it left jakarta. it is unclear how many were on

board when it went down because it stopped twice en route. unclear what caused the crash. the fact that greece defaulted on its imf loan comes as no surprise. prime minister alexis tsipras has made it clear he's had enough of the austerity measures that are making life difficult for the greek people. >> he has called for a referendum this sunday. the groeks themselves, the people have an option to decide if they want to move forward with more bailout plans or go it alone. >> people who support staying in the eurozone rallied in athens on tuesday, the day before you had people who supported the government doing the same thing. prime minister tsipras is urging people to vote against the european bailout offer. >> he is even hinted he probably will resign if greeks end up voting yes, but sentiment in athens is hard to gauge. take a listen. >> never experienced something

like this before and people are worried about the situation and hopefully next time we will vote yes because we want to remain in the european union. that's where we belong. >> >> i want to be optimistic but the fact remains the last two days the situation is very difficult. i think that the greek people want the majority of them want to stay in the eurozone. i want to believe they will vote even in the last minute they l will think of that and vote yes because greek people the majority believes in the euro and the eurozone. let's bring in our merger markets editor. he is joining us live from abu dhabi. thanks are getting sentence tense in greece. we had those live pictures outside of a bank. it appears pensioners are getting frustrated and trying to get access to their money and

the question on their minds is the question on our minds, where do we go from here? technical default with the imf. what happens next? >> first and foremost errol, as you are suggesting there were people lining up outside the banks. the sentiment could change rather quickly here. you can go from calm in greece and charts can tilt the other way, the needle goes the other way because the signs of desperation kick in. where do we go from here? first and foremost we are going to new territory. that's for sure. first time an industrialized country, a member of the imf technically defaultd on the imf. the executive board has to meet to decide what to do next. let's not not forget greece is a member of the industrialized nations but had a 25% correction since the debt talks started in twen. it is a depression. that's why we are seeing the tension on the streets. what is necessary is trying to

find common ground between the euro group countries, this 19 members that share the euro and greece itself. i don't see the common ground. it is extraordinary. a week ago. when we had this conversation there was a gap of two to three billion euros and they said let's have a deal by the end of business on thursday to sign it off on saturday and sunday and now look at what happened. surprises by the tsipras government during the negotiations suggesting out of nowhere, calling the referendum after the default extraordinary. something that's not been done before. again when we start to see common ground being forged a bridge built between the two parties, the tsipras government comes forward and suggests we'd like a two-year bailout package, something new on the table. at the core of his argument there's some validity. let's look at the chart and i will tell you why. greece is running the highest debt within the euro group countries right now. it is running 177% of gdp. it is well ahead of the neighbor italy, which is still high.

132%. look at portugal ireland and spain. other countries are worked through and stabilize but not greece. this is the argument today. as we talk another credit rating agency fitch has downgraded greece's debt near default. the discussion is not cutting the long-term debt for greece and more surprises from tsipras. that's why we are in the state of play with we are today, errol. >> it is unkfrlable to see the pensioners waying and uncertain if they have access to their money. the government is out of cash. for all of these reasons and the unexpected actions from the government this past weekend, would you say this crisis is boris than we have seen over the last five years an the two previous bailouts? >> yes. i would say that. that's because i don't see a plan "b" on the table. in fact when we talk to friends of ours in greek background they remain shocked and say we don't know what will happen until the referendum.

we hope we stay in but sentiment is changing so quickly on the ground you can see it going to a no. the other thing that is extraordinary, if you read the travel warnings during the peak tourism season they are suggesting potential food shortages on the island fuel shofrtages. we have seen the u.k. government suggesting potential air lifts if necessary. many are asking the question, maybe turkey would like to help greece. that was the olive branch given by the prime minister of greece to turkey yesterday. and asking if they could help. why can't the european union help itself? do you need a cries is of this sort of magnitude? that's the question everyone is asking as we see these pictures from greece. >> sobering reality. things could be worse before this is improvement. merging markets editor is live with us from abu dhabi. john thanks. when you think of what is happening in terms of default in greece you think of what happened in argentina. that country defaulted on $82

billion worth of bonds in 2002. >> what followed was a decade of debt restructuring with the imf, the currency was devalued unemployment skyrocketed to more than 20%. >> it didn't end there. in fact inflation soared. gdp or gross domestic product the year following the default dropped 11% and the financial uncertainty during that period led to deadly riots, and that triggered political instability. joining us is the professor of international economics at american university. thank you for being with us. just after argentina defaulted 15 years ago we saw unemployment double we saw gdp plummet. inflation rose as well. i presume in that situation for greece is certainly far worse. on top of that they would have to reestablish a new currency if it was to happen.

>> in a sense argentina faced the same challengement don't think it didn't because it had been using the dollar at par with the peso. but the likely difference is that in the case of argentina they were very lucky. commodity prices driven by china and low interest rates were skyrocketing and they are a rich agricultural production country. so theyed a a lot to sell and were able to raise a lot of dollars to prop up the currency whereas it is hard to believe that greece would be similarly blessed. >> as you mention, argentina had to go through a currency devaluation and that helped its exports. if greece were to return to the drachma, how much boost would it give to the tourism industry and would that be enough to help the economy recover a little bit? >> a little bit but i don't think much.

even -- a lot of tourists have been going to greece. it's not like they have been absent all of these years. it's just not enough to pull the economy up especially since the unemployment rate is around 25% and the gdp has already fallen in the past five years so far. >> another thing we learned from argentina is debt restructuring is certainly needed if greece is to have any real future. given the lessons from argentina, what would you say is a fair solution, a fair compromise between greece and the imf? >> well the imf is very forgiving of its debts. so really subliminally there is a big fight between the imf and the ecb. the imf has been pressuring the ecb and eu to admit losses and forgive debt forgiveness.

the irony is the greeks defaulted to the imf first. >> if you could, describe after the referendum and after today's default, what is going to be the fallout from this crisis? >> well the potential drop dead date is july 20th. that's when a big payment is due to the european central bank. if that payment is not made then the lifeline to the banking system and the greek government will have been pulled for good. i think they have about 20 days from tomorrow to try to reach some understanding with european authorities on resuscitated program for the next few years. >> so greece is in arrears technically it could lead to a default. obviously that could have grave economic consequences. thank you so much. >> my pleasure. >> more of the world's biggest stories coming up. a 14th candidate joins a
