-- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com i'm thank you for joining us. >> we want to begin with breaking news in the greek debt crisis. the country's finance minister says he is resigning after the voters rejected the latest offer for a bailout deal. i'm joined by elinda labropoulou who joins us live from athens. essentially he basically won but from what i understand the troika is refusing to do business with him. there appears to be bad blood

after all those negotiations. >> reporter: well, this is the reason he gave in his blog and the statement we got out of the finance ministry following the resignation seems to suggest that the prime minister, tsiprasalexis tsipras felt to go more comfortable going into negotiations without him there. this is the suggestion that the euro group. we know there is a lot of tension between he and a number of the ministers there. and he has taken this route as a way to facilitate to make things easier between greece and its creditors to reach a deal. this comes after the no vote which has really strengthens in some respects or in some people's eyes the position of the government. it has been hailed in mr.

varoufakis' campaign. >> they will be sad to see him go. >> it's a complicated one. varoufakis is someone who is outspoken and popular with a part of the public and unpopular with another part of the greek public. he is a controversial figure. we have seen him getting into all kinds of debates, strong rhetoric exchanged between mr. varoufakis and the german finance minister. so i think this will be seen more as a move of let's go into calmer negotiations and see if we can reach a deal. so some people will be disappointed but i think for others it will open a route to diplomacy in these talks. >> and elinda the big fear

right now is of a grexit. how likely is it that this resignation could be a prerequisite to greece being able to stay in the eurozone? >> reporter: i think what we're likely to see from the creditors is they will want a more diplomatic approach from greece and a more reconciliatory tone as we go into the next round of talks. it is obviously very difficult to see how this is going to play out simply because greece is going to go into the next round of talks after months and months of negotiations. now they are likely to ask for more concessions and debt release. and it is uncertain whether the creditors will be willing to back down. until we see how the first

negotiations are likely to go it will be very difficult to tell how this will play out. >> elinda just on a practical basis, how are people going to survive over the next few days? as far as the negotiations unfold we've got the situation where the banks are talking about running out of cash and people are obviously struggling hugely just to meet day-to-day costs. >> we do have a situation that banks seem to be running out of cash. right behind me you have a queue at an atm and there are queues all around the country. banks have been closed now for a week. all i can say is that it will be difficult. the ecb convenes today to decide what to the with emergency liquidity assistance for greece. this no at the referendum and a strong no which is not what was anticipated, is likely to affect

any decision making for greece in the next day or two. and until some decisions are made for greek people it will be very difficult. i mean it's all we can tell at this point. unless you know mr. tsipras really does manage to reach a deal as he has promised in the next 40 hours the situation with the banks will become incredibly different. >> thank you, elinda. that story from the streets of athens. we want to see how the knockon effect is going to effect the world. the markets are a little lower, how do you read it? >> it's interesting, max. just as the announcement of varoufakis's resignation came out. we were looking at the realtime indices from asia and they turned around. they are heading back toward positive territory. they are a long way into the negative but the situation was

worse. the picture was worse before the resignation news came out. to give you an idea the nikkei because down 2.2, 2.3%. hong kong down 4.5%. it has come back a little bit. but what you see there, max is very much a feeling that the possibility, the likelihood of a grexit of greece leaving the eurozone has increased significantly with that no vote. now, what's interesting is with varoufakis' resignation does it then claw back away from the brink, if you like? i mean he was seen certainly by the european authorities, by the troika and central bank and the european commission as someone who they couldn't trust in essence. and that was the problem, that the trust between the two sides had broken down. now he has gone doesn't mean that they will be able to negotiate in better faith with europe when the meetings start

tomorrow. certainly, investors as you see there, a little bit of a respite but still there is a lot of skepticism in the markets and the investment community and they are taking a pragmatic view on this. if greece does go they will be prepared for it. >> obviously, greece wants better negotiating terms. now if the eu does give them a sweeter deal what message does that send to countries like portugal spain, italy, countries riddled with debt? >> it's an interesting question. that is the nub of this. if greece can get a better deal and essentially, if he called europe's bluff and went to its own people and came back with this resounding no, what is to stop other countries in the grip of tough austerity measures doing the same. portugal spain, italy, ireland

will be looking closely now. this is going to be a political decision. this is no longer an economic decision whether greece stays in the eurozone or not. if it is a political decision it may be the beginning of fundamentally altering the relationship between the eurozone partners. before it was very clear this is the way it's going to be done once the austerity measures came into place you are going to play by our rule book. if greece does not, the others will ask why should they as well. the bottom line here is this has got a long long way to go and we're going to see volatility in the markets continue particularly in the european markets. if you look in the u.s. the futures there are pointing to a 1 to 1.5% fall at the open. there is still a lot of uncertainty out there. the markets hate uncertainty. at the moment it's difficult to get a clear read on where this

may end up. >> while this may not have a huge contagion around the world if the ecb puts out the right messages today it is going to put off any big decisions on fed rates. do you think that's true? it could hit the, you know the u.s. and the world market in that sense? >> yeah certainly. a fed rate rise is not a foregone conclusion particularly looking at the statistics of the latest job numbers last week. so expectations are that the fed will raise rates in september. but that is by no means a done deal. any sort of uncertainty, anything that is going to shake global market confidence is going to obviously have a knock-on effect on the u.s. the fed will be in no hurry to further undermine confidence by lifting the cost of borrowing. and the other effect is in

china. china is down 30% in three weeks. we're talking $3 trillion being wiped off the value of the chinese stock market. so that is also sending ripples of real concern out across not just asia but around the world as well. what is going on in china you have to balance that with the fact that chinese stocks are up 150%. but the last thing the fed wants to do is raise rates because it feels like it has been having to. it is going to watch closely the conditions. i'm sure europe the grexit threat all that will play into the fed's decision and they are going to err on the side of caution, no doubt. >> andrew if greece was to leave the eurozone which country do you think they would end up looking to for stability? russia? china? what do you think? >> it's a difficult one. i think -- >> that's quite a question.

>> look if you look at what's been happening russia has been -- you know has been a relationship between greece and russia much more than china. and china has its own issues to deal with at the moment. russia would be a more obvious partner. what they can actually do is difficult to say. what also to take into account the geopolitics of this a grexit would basically mean that greece was failing and perhaps a failing state, does europe want that on its southern borders? of course it doesn't. what's it going to do to stop that happening? we'll have to wait. what can russia do but i don't know. i don't want to speculate but there has been some sort of relationship. >> absolutely. who knows a grexit could cost the eurozone more than a bailout in the long term.

andrew stevens, thank you so much. >> a lot of people are analyzing the exposure countries have to greece but the southern european countries would be affected. let's look at what yanis varoufakis said in announcing his resignation. colorful as ever. i became aware to the fact that the participants of the euro group and other partners would appreciate my absence from the meetings which the prime minister considered may help in reaching an agreement. i will step down as the finance minister. >> he goes on to write is it my duty to help alexis tsipras as much as to take advantage as he considers the capital which was donated to us by the greek people through the referendum. >> and he has strong words about the euro group. >> he does. >> he is quite a character. >> he is going to be missed in

terms of a character. greeks around the world are paying close attention to what is happening of course. >> we spoke to one expiateatriat. >> this is how they felt about what the no represents. they saw it as a way of stop following that program. and it's the other thing too it's that this program has created so many people that don't have anything else to lose that they really just don't care if they are going to be in the eurozone or if they're going to go back on drachmas. right now in their pockets they don't have anything. >> we will have more on this story later this hour. you can get the analysis and background on cnn.com including the breaking details on the

resignation of the finance minister yanis varoufakis and that's ahead and what is ahead for the greek banks as well. we have good news for the united states. team usa is celebrating in vancouver, canada after winning the highest scoring women's world cup final ever. the u.s. dominated japan, beating the defending champions 5-2. >> sunday's game was a rematch of the 2011 world cup final. this is the third title for team usa and their first since 1999. an amazing moment. >> with a hat trick in sunday's match-up it was carli lloyd who led the team to a world cup victory. kate riley has more. >> reporter: the united states has won their third world cup crown their third title in 16 years. japan had the perfect tournament going into this match although

. breaking news out of greece this hour the country's finance minister yanis varoufakis says he is resigning after voters voted out of a bailout appeal. >> he said i was made aware of a

preference by euro group participants and assorted partners for my absence from its meetings. varoufakis believes that his resignation could help alexis tsipras reach an agreement with creditors. pope francis is in ecuador on a mission for the poor and the planet, meanwhile. >> i thank god for having allowed me to return to latin america and to be with you today in this beautiful land of ecuador. i feel happiness and gratitude after this warm welcome. it's one more demonstration of the welcoming character that define this nimble nation. >> the pope is from south america and he says he is excited to be there and has a busy week ahead. >> later today he plans to lead mass and meet with ecuador's president. in a few days he heads to

bolivia and he goes to paraguay. and he has speeches and masses to deliver in his native spanish. joining me is father edward beck. thank you for being with us. these three countries, ecuador, bolivia, paraguay he says they are the forgotten countries of latin america. how does the pope plan to change that? >> just by visiting the poorest countries, he is making a statement. remember he said he wants to go to the periphery. and so in fact he is doing that. some said why didn't he go to argentina? he hasn't been home since he was elected pope. his sister is there and hasn't seen them. he says he has to focus on the forgotten first. these are three of the poorest in south america and he chose

them to say these people matter too. >> pope john paul ii visited ecuador. how does this pope's visit differ from the last pope that visited ecuador? >> what is interesting about the last visit is that john paul ii was looking at encroachment theology. this pope, pope francis is not as concerned about that. he brought liberation theologians back into the fold. it says you need to look at god and the experience of faith through the eyes of the poor. that is something very close to the heart of pope francis. so he is not as concerned as john paul ii with the church per se that it's losing members, that liberation

theology is ruining the church. he is thinking of the poor and the environment. he is making a different focus and priority than john paul ii. >> he wants to focus on the poor and the environment. but 40% of the world's catholics are in latin america and that number is decreasing. they are losing catholic followers. can the pope's visit expect to reverse that in any way? >> well it is decreasing but we are talking about ecuador being 79% catholics. even though the evangelicals are making inroads, there is something for you in catholicism to those who have left. pent cost lymph and evangelicals is about small-based community and about reading the scripture and serving the poor. and so perhaps the charismatic movement within the catholic

church where there is sharing and reading of scripture that can be attractive to evangelicals mo who have leather catholicism. so he may appeal to them as well. >> i want to talk about the context of this visit. this visit does come at a time of political tension in ecuador seeing anti-government demonstrations against the president. do you think the pope will weigh in on that? >> one of the issues that is interesting is the environment. they are mining in a national park right now. and oil drilling and the pope is supposedly going to speak against some of this pillaging of the natural environment. now when the pope arrived, the president made a point of saying how environmentally committed ecuador is. i think the pope may challenge him on that. because some of his own

constituents don't believe he is that committed to the environment. i think there will be conflict there. there will be a conflict with the church in the sense that people think the church has been colonialistic in its approach in south america. so people are calling for getting away from clericalism where priests and bishops make all the decisions but have a role for the laity. and it will be interesting to see where the pope comes down on that. >> interesting. the pope is not going to argentina during this visit, preferring to spend time in the poorer countries of latin america. you can log on to this website, vatican.va. chicago gun violence has been making headlines for several years now, and in the past few days a 7-year-old boy is one of seven people killed over the weekend. at least 40 people were shot in

numerous incidents. >> chicago's top cop stood in front of a table full of confiscated illegal guns and spoke passionately about what he calls a broken system. >> i'm angry. i'm frustrated. and i'm frustrated and angry that we're here again talking about another senseless murder. pick out the names. the list goes on and on. this has got to stop. we can put another 10,000 police officers on the street. and what would happen? maybe we'll arrest mr. brown 90 times and nothing will happen. maybe we'll take 10,000 guns off the street and 10,000 will fill up that illegal market the next day. i'm incredibly proud of the men and women of this department who in spite of what i'm talking about go out every day and do what they do. we need some help here folks. we have to fix this broken

system. >> and he went on to say that basically too many violent prisoners are being released only to return to a life of crime. is it a vicious cycle there in chicago. ahead we go live to athens following breaking news the greek finance minister stepping down. a bombshell in the last hour or so, wasn't it? >> yep. leave early go roam sleep in sleep out star gaze dream big wander more care less beat sunrise chase sunset do it all. on us. get your first month's payment plus five years wear and tear coverage. make the most of summer... with volvo.

welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm zain asher. >> i'm max foster. back to the breaking news this hour.

the finance minister in greece said he would resign if greeks voted in favor of the latest bailout offer. they voted to reject it and he is resigning anyway. >> elinda labropoulou is in athens with the details for us. we have not heard from alexis tsipras on yanis varoufakis's resignation. i mean are we expected to hear from him praising varoufakis or explain why varoufakis resigned? >> well we know that alexis tsipras is going to be meeting all the other political leaders, the opposition leaders today in just a few minutes from now. so perhaps we'll get a statement right after that. we had a statement from the deputy finance minister who told greek television that basically what will be happening now is we'll be looking at a negotiating team with a more european direction orientation if you like that will submit specific proposals to put an end

to uncertainty. it is suggested that mr. varoufakis was more of a hard-liner and greece is willing to follow a more diplomatic route to reach a fast agreement with his creditors. >> in his statement he says i wear the creditors loathing with pride. but the issue is for many people in greece he is seen as a hero because he is martyring himself on this issue. >> for people who wanted to see a more hard-line approach who wanted to tell the europeans, the creditors what many greeks think of them which is along the lines of what you describe from mr. varoufakis he was the man to do it. but it seems that that didn't particularly help the talks until now. you know we've seen months of negotiations so far. so although mr. varoufakis is a popular figure with some it

seems that mr. tsipras decided it might be best for him to step down. >> and mr. varoufakis in term of his controversial comments he accused the troika of spreading fear saying that they wanted to humiliate greeks and accused them of terrorism as well. i am wondering how ordinary greeks reacted to those comments. >> i think a lot of greeks are very pessimistic about what is happening and disillusioned with europe and the creditors. they feel they have gone through five years of austerity and very hard times and what has been put on the table does not really get greece out of that austerity cycle and much like the government they have been supporting ideas of debt relief and anything that would show that greece could be moving towards growth. people like varoufakis have been expressing what a lot of greek people feel and also the vote yesterday that no -- that resounding no at the referendum

yesterday saying that greece would not be prepared to accept a deal that does not include some kind of way to grow some proposal that would enable greece to get out of resection is very much in accordance to what mr. varoufakis has been saying all along and how a lot of people feel. >> the practical implications of what happens now for greeks. the banks are expected to be opening tomorrow. it doesn't seem likely they will be able to. if they are running out of cash they can't keep giving out $60 a day they were doing >> at the moment it's going to be very difficult to see the deal. this is also something that the government has actually said. the minister of state said the banks will reopen when there is a deal. mr. varoufakis and the prime minister have been saying we can get a deal wildfire 48before 48 hours.

that remains to be seen. until there is some kind of certainty and some way of pacifying people that you know they shouldn't just run to the banks and get their money out, it seems virtually impossible to see the banks reopening. it's something that the ecb will decide today whether it will carry on with its liquidity assistance to greece or not or increase it or keep it at the same levels. >> elinda thank you very much. back with you throughout the day as the news sinks in as the finance minister a powerful character is going. >> and i'm curious whether varoufakis' resignation will allow tsipras a better negotiation platform. >> we just saw this from a greek government spokesman saying that varoufakis played a leading role in the negotiations. the prime minister feels the need to thank him for his

unrelenting efforts to promote his efforts for the greek people. a greek exit from the eurozone could result in financial contagion. we haven't seen it yet. and we have other debt-laden countries like portugal spain, italy. >> and some are fearing that post grexit greece could partner with russia or china. and immigration could become a greater issue. floods of greeks battling homelessness and more needing aid and wanting welfare. >> as a greek exit seems more and more likely we look back at greece's entry into the group and how the country's debt began to build up. >> reporter: it's not every day that a new currency is born.

and the euro created for the world's most important trading block was exciting. >> the euro has been launched and a wonderful step forward has been achieved. >> there were 15 countries then. but the uk and denmark and sweden didn't want a single currency. those that did had to prove their economies were in good shape. greece was the last to hit the target. the enthusiastic candidate because not left out. >> greece really wanted to get in and there was a tendency to take those who wanted to get in. and the eurozone is a political animal. and there was not the political class a sufficient understanding of the economic necessities for making it work. >> in the years that followed euro membership greeks borrowed more than was allowed under the

rules. by 2004 it was more than double the limit at 7.5%. it was 9.9% in 2008. the year that the financial crisis hit. by then lenders were worried and they were right to be so. then came a bombshell, athens confessed it had been lying about the true scale of these numbers. in 2010 when the costs of borrowing became unsustainable, europe and the imf rose to athens' rescue. this was bailout number one. >> what will remain of europe if the euro disappears? what will remain of europe if its economic heart collapses? nothing. >> but this wasn't easy money. the lenders demanded tax increases and spending cuts to balance the books. the economy stuttered and the debt mountain remained. but in 2012 bailout number two included debt relief.

>> they got it late and probably too late. the europeans have not been blameless. but the real issue here is that successive greek governments can't ever really implement good policies. >> with one in four unemployed and the economy having shrunk 25% in five years late last year greece selected a new leftest party to government. it pledged to resist any more austerity while keeping greece's place in the eurozone. two promises that now look increasingly impossible to keep. tag enwright cnn, london. grim news out of africa. a week of violence has killed 200 people in nigeria. twin explosions in jos where 15 people are dead. >> one blast happened near a mosque and the other at a restaurant in a muslim neighborhood at sunset as people
