♪ no. it's morning in greece where thousands are sharply divided over how they will vote in a referendum that will decide the future of their country. in the philippines, rescue workers find more victims from a capsized ferry. and a worldwide terror alert for american independence day. why u.s. authorities are ramping up security for the fourth of july. and happy fourth to you and welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm natalie allen and this is "cnn newsroom."

it is 10:00 a.m. in greece less than a day before greeks begin casting their votes in a referendum that may determine the country's future in europe's single currency. tens of thousands of greeks demonstrated in athens on friday. here you say prime minister alexis tsipras attending one of the rallies. he is encouraging people to vote no in the referendum which would essentially mean that greece does not accept the austerity-driven terms of a bailout plan offered by european lead leaders. >> translator: on sunday wed are all sending a message of democracy and dignity to europe and all of the world. we are resending a message of hope to the people because on sunday we do not simply decide

to stay in europe we decide to live with dignity in europe. >> and a short walk away from that rally was this. a huge crowd of demonstrated to support a yes vote. a yes vote endorses the expired bailout terms. mr. tsipras came to offer promising to end harsh austerity measures. but many people say he has put greece's future in jeopardy. >> we will vote yes. we have seen what the government has done to us. in these five months they have taken us back ten years at least. >> one poll shows a razor thin margin between the yes camp at 44% and no at 43%. 12% are

ollowing the prime minister's message which is by voting no greece strengthens its position for better bailout terms. but those in the yes camp say this is greece's only way to stay in the eurozone and europe as well. there is a lot of unclarity on the question which is base odden a proposal which is no longer on the table on a past proposal by the creditors to greece. so this all happens in a fairly confusing and polarized

environment. we are looking at a referendum that could determine greece's future in europe and at a time where the banks have remained shut for a week and at a time where we know there is only sufficient money to go around until monday. we had that confirmed by the banking association. so greeks go to the polls with a hell of a lot at stake if you want to put it that way. >> what if greeks say yes? who takes over the country? >> reporter: depending on what happens at the referendum on sunday the financial minister said he would not be prepared to sign a deal with the creditors unless the issue of debt relief has been addressed. this has been a key issue all along in these negotiations. greece has asked for debt

sustainability and relief has been to agreed to before a new deal is signed. and an imf report suggests this is the kay. but europe is saying they want to see reforms first and then discuss the issue of debt sustainability. we could be looking at a lot of political changes, a lot of political developments ahead on who heads these negotiations and under what terms. but what is certain is that a solution is needed soon. without a banking system the economy is frozen. most transactions are frozen. we are hearing about problems in supplies. we know that people are having trouble getting the daily allowance out of atms. so whatever happens on sunday some solution really needs to be found very fast or we aring look at a dire dire economic

situation. >> we hope it doesn't come to that elinda labropoulou thank you for that. while greek officials argue it's the regular citizens who are paying the highest price. supermarkets say that supplies could soon begin to run short and greek banks remain shuttered for almost and entire week leaving people in retirement with little access to their money. >> translator: they don't give money to us. they gave me 120 euros is day before yesterday and i went and bought my medicine and i had to pay 33 year owes. now they tell me to come back in a week. how will i live in this week? >> very sad. the crisis has ramifications all over the world. it impacts your money.

our reporters explain how and why. ♪ >> greek banks are closed for one simple reason. there are too many depositors too many people trying to take out too much money. before long they are going to completely run out. for the last few weeks, the european central bank has been funneling money out the backdoor and it is going straight out the front. and now there is no more money coming in they had to stop it going out. >> if this is happening in greece why are world marks in turmoil? it depends how much exposure there is to greece. in the u.s. there is little direct exposure but it's the uncertainty. and the safety net of the ecb is no longer available to give emergency money to degrees,

that's keeping investors on edge. >> greece continued to continue that queue. that queue going down. many people sheltering from the rain. the majority of people have been able to take out the limit of 60 euros. but several pensioners have not been able to eke out a single euro. the reality of the crisis may set in in a couple of days. a run on a bank in a modern economy is bad for everyone. if you are a traveller, bring a lot of cash to greece. you cannot rely on the banking system. that could hurt tourism for greece. for everyone else it marries to your money and your 401(k). if europe becomes destabilized because of what is happening with greece that affects anybody who makes or sells a product in

the united states to europe. the eurozone is america's largest trading partner. >> the greek banks need to know that there is more money coming towards them. depositors need to know their money is safe. once people know there isn't a banking crisis and the money is safe they stop demanding it. it's a difficult problem trying to stop a bank run but that's what they have to do. >> when the greek people make their choice on sunday cnn will be in athens. the polls open at 7:00 a.m. local time across the country. our day of live polls will have more. we turn to the philippines. the coast guard confirms 59

deaths in thursday's ferry sinking. 140 people survived after the boat overturned just after leaving port in the start part of the country. searchers recovered more bodies on friday. david santos joins me now by phone from ormoc city. >> reporter: salvage operations is still a hunt for the bodies being recovered from underthe vessel. you were saying that the death toll is at 59 with 140 survivors. if you add them together that sums up to more than 200 when authorities here are saying that

the allowed capacity of the boat is only 173. now investigators will also look into the cargo that the vettel was carrying at the time of the innocent. these are some of the details that investigators are now looking into to determine the possible cause of the sea mishap. >> david santos for us from ormoc city fillphilippines. u.s. officials are on guard for possible terror attack for the fourth of july holiday. 7,000 police officers will be in new york city backing up thousands of regular patrols. around 700,000 visits are expected along the national mall in washington, d.c. another

welcome back to our viewers

in the united states and around the world. this is "cnn newsroom" on the fourth of july. happy independence day. i'm natalie allen. here are the headlines. 59 people are confirmed dead in thursday's ferry sinking off the coast of the central philippines. the country's coast guard says 140 people survived. the ferry capsized minutes after leaving port. investigators are trying to understand why. security is tight for american independence day celebrations. officials warn the large gatherings could be terror targets. there has been chatter about terrorist threats for the holiday weekend but nothing credible or specific. greeks go to the polls on sunday for what is a polarizing referendum on how to handle the debt. thousands rallied ahead of the vote. a yes vote supports the debt

relief. and a no rejects it. here's the question that will be on the ballot papers. it is not schismimple. should the draft agreement submitted by the ecb, imf at the euro group on june 25th which consists of two parts that make up their full proposal be accepted? and that's the question. and the first document is reforms for the completion of the current program and beyond and the second is preliminary debt sustainability analysis. yeah. nina dos santos takes a look at what happens no matter what the greeks answer. >> reporter: yes or no one of these two words will decide greece's destiny and with it the future of the single currency itself. unable to find common ground with creditors, athens asked its

people whether they accept or reject reforms set out as part of the country's second now expired bailout. the eurozone and imf want a yes. greece's government lobbied for a no. either way the stakes couldn't be higher. >> translator: even in the case of a yes vote we have to face difficult negotiations. in a no vote the greek position is dramatically weak. >> the prime minister and finance minister could give way to a new government which would enter fresh talks with the creditors. greece may eventually get the money it needs to open up its banks and pay back its debts and think about a fresh package in aid from here. it makes an exit less likely but expect swift austerity as part

of the conditions. >> we have seen a small element of what can happen of not being able to get money out of banks in small amounts. and nobody can really say how it would work out under that scenario. >> if greece votes no all bets are off. they would push for renewed negotiations and concessions on debt relief. the banks would remain shut and greek greece could be kicked out of the euro. the people would be poorer and the markets pray to uncertainty. >> a no vote is associated to a painful situation. the situation is already painful in greece at the moment. i believe the bank will remain shut for a longer time. it will trigger the support of the ecb to the greek financial

sector. you might expect a collapse of the economy. i do not think that the euro group and they have made it clear that a no will hurt negotiation. >> greece's leaders have pitched this as a referendum on austerity. but europe sees it as vote on the membership of the euro. whatever it means to each side athens could be words away from a dramatic rescue or financial disaster. we want to show you what the greek people are dealing with the raw emotion of one greek citizen directly affected by this crisis. these images of a desperate elderly greek man struck a chord with our team here. some banks are opening doors to people without a bank card. you see him sitting defeated on

the ground. he is being assisted by a police officer and staff member of the bank. you can certainly see the distress on his face. he could withdraw at most 120 euros from this bank. his future like so many others seems uncertain. that is heart-wrenching. to syria now. an explosion at a mosque killed 25 al qaeda members. the dead were part of an al qaeda front. they were gathered at a meal where muslims break their fast in the holy month of ramadan. some are blaming isis militants. so much news out of syria is all about war, death and destruction. but our next story shows how something extraordinary can

always rise up from terrible loss. a syrian teenager whose family escaped to jordan spends her time making sure other refugee girls stay in school. she has earned the nickname, the syrian malala. >> translator: i left syria two and a half years ago for various reasons and problems in all of life's aspects in education, making a living and freedom of movement as well as other related difficulties which led to being unable to stay in our own time or move to another place in syria. therefore we decided to leave and move to jordan. being a refugee does not mean an end to a life. on the contrary you have to be stronger to be able to help your country and the people you love. even if you are a refugee you is to be strong to face these problems. i notice that a lot of people

don't like education and because i really like education i decided i should start to advise people even if they don't take my advice. i might fail the first time but i might succeed in the second and the third time i will get more people. and the fourth time even more so i will be more effective. and i started to notice an absence of girls daily from school and others would drop out. then i realized that most people want their daughters to drop out of school and get married and want their sons to find jobs. if we get opportunities to get education in the refugee catch we should seize the opportunity. we shouldn't waste it to achieve other things we can achieve later in life. education will solve a lot of problems in our lives. we can want do much in our lives if we are not educated. we can't help others. we cannot help our country.

we will not be able to solve many problems in the present and the future if we are not educated. if education we can protect ourselves and we can achieve our goals. we should not lose hope no matter how difficult life is we have to be optimistic. the future sun known to us and we should look to the future with hope and ambition. if we manage to raise a generation of educators and knowledgeable people people who protect their unity, their ambition and their dreams whether here in the camp or inside syria, then syria will have a bright future. more power to her. what a remarkable young woman. there are some 60 billion refugees in the world. imagine the children who aren't getting an education. amnesty international calls the

the tour de france kicks off today. over 128 riders will compete. it ends in paris on july 26th. the cyclists are in shape but they have to fight against the heat they are going to encounter as temperatures in europe are unseasonably high this weekend. here is karen mcginness following that for us. >> it has been an amazing past seven to ten days where these temperatures have all been in the mid- to upper-30s and 40s across western europe in london we saw wimbledon there was a ball girl who collapsed because of the heat. those temperatures are moderating just a bit. but elsewhere it is spreading across the interior and into sections of eastern europe extending down to ukraine and the czech republic. we will see temperatures over

the next five to ten days that are going to soar towards that 40-degree mark. there is a heat wave all across this western portion of europe and take a look as we go into saturday afternoon and paris is looking at temperatures in the low 30s. now that may not sound dramatic. but these are way above normal for this time of year. and madrid the temperature there is expected around 38. in paris, the temperatures over the past seven to ten days have been near record-setting levels. always a nice time to be in paris but you have to go back to 2003 about 15,000 people died across france because of the extreme heat wave there. we are seeing temperatures that rival that although there are heat wave emergency situations that are put in place so those numbers, perhaps, will not be

seen because of the heat wave that we're seeing there right now. for madrid take a look at the past seven days. 40 degrees. that was on monday. now typically in spain we do see the exceptionally hot temperatures but it has persisted for so long now. and the jet stream has a buckle in it. as a result it's further to the north. that warm moist air coming up from the south and this begins to shift to the east each day. and look at paris we may see a dip by the middle of the workweek but the temperatures go back up into the low 30s. the average high in paris is around 23. in london things are faring a lot better. but some of the temperatures that we saw in the past 24 hours, the average high temperature there at 26. all right, i want to take a look at this. this out of belgium where people

becoming more and more polarizing. we saw duelling rallies on friday draw huge crowds. those and a yes vote endorses the bailout, though the terms of that bailout are expired, no longer on the table. greece defaulted on a major payment to the international monetary fund on tuesday. the terms of the debt relief plan expired the same day. greeks began voting on sunday at 7:00 a.m. local time. prime minister alexis tspiras attended one of the rallies and is encouraging people to vote no. >> translator: on sunday we are all sending a message of democracy and dignity to europe and the world. we are resending a message of hope to the people because on sunday we do not simply decide to stay in
