imply that he has disappeared, he is absent. he said that is not the case at all and he said that he has what -- we're going to continue to follow this but we're going to take a very short break. we'll be back in just a moment. a revealing admission in court. bill cosby said he had sedatives to drug women. another deadline looms for negotiations on iran's nuclear program. we have the latest on that. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm rosemary church. >> i'm max foster. this is "cnn newsroom." and we begin this hour in brussels where leaders of the eurozone will convene an emergency summit on the greek
12:01 am
financial crisis just a few hours from now. greek prime minister alexis tsipras will be there hat in hand trying to secure a new bailout deal for his country's struggling economy. he does have the backing of the greek people as we've seen. they voted overwhelming sunday against more austerity. >> we're hearing right now from the european commission president, jean-claude juncker. he is one of the key players in deciding what creditors might offer greece next. nina dos san dose joins us live from the details. is there going to be a deal there today from what he is saying? >> it doesn't sound as if we are going to have a concrete deal today, max. but i want to draw your attention to the key line he said there. he did get quite a bit of heckling for saying this we have been told we must respect
12:02 am
the greek voters. a question has been put to the greek people that doesn't exist. what question is that the question that the greek people were asked in the 72-word question put forward on sunday which referred to the terms of a bailout deal that expired at the end of last month. so effectively, the european's position has always been we don't really understand what you are voting on here. the way we view the greek vote is you don't want to be a part of the eurozone any more. this is a proxy for membership of the single currency. obviously the greek government view it as vote on austerity. but juncker saying we need to understand and digest the outcome of the vote because it was based on a document that had expired. we view this as greece and its people saying no to the single
12:03 am
currency. that is not how the greeks them have been viewing this. we knew before the referendum and before that 60% vote in favor of no 70% of greeks wanted to be a part of the single currency. the european group position is that you can't have both. >> what greece needs is some sort of atmosphere where a deal can be presented. but from what juncker is saying he is not really up for listening. >> he is treading a difficult line here. he is the head of the executive arm of the european union not just the single currency area. not every country in the european union shares the single currency. only 19 of them do. countries that are part of the -- signed up to the lisbon treaty one of the latest set of rules and regulations when the eu was expanded they signed up to irrevokably vend surrender
12:04 am
their currency to the euro. there are no legal ways in which you can back out of the euro. what he is trying to do is he doesn't want to alienate greece from the european union but he is trying to saying that the grexit is a possibility that the greeks have to take into account here. but when we are talk about difficult lines in today's news max, we should also mention the ecb is having to tread a difficult line itself. and it precipitated this crisis more tightening the screws on the greek banks by raising the amount of collateral requirements they have to put forward to reflect that the greek banks have less money in their coffers and capitolal
12:05 am
controls have been in effect for a week now. the european commission and the ecb, two of the key three creditors which alongside the imf make up the troika of international lenders to greece two of them now making very clear here that greece really is coming down to crunch time. >> okay nina we'll bring you the highlights as we get through to us. let's move to athens now where greeks are lining up outside banks and atms. isa soares joins us now live from there. let's look at what we heard from jean-claude juncker there, though clearly sending a very strong message to the prime minister of greece we mean business. you better put good reforms on the table or forget about it. you're out. >> absolutely. i was hearing what he was saying and he said time now is
12:06 am
for those with common sense, he said and reason rosie, to negotiate. because if you remember greeks walked out of negotiations when they weren't even completed. juncker saying if those were common sense on the table this is a time for common sense. he said we have to find a solution and it won't happen overnight. he said now is a time to talk to each other, understand each other and have tolerance for each other. today what i expect to see is them sitting around a table and expressing each other's ideas and some thoughts and proposals which the european union, the troika will find credible proposals moving forward. they have to be something meatier. so i think alexis tsipras is going into this meeting as will the new finance minister going in knowing that time is running out and that time is of the
12:07 am
essence. there is no time to be throwing ideas left and center. this is a time to get down to business. europe knows what the red lines are. is greece prepared to give in on any of the red lines. at the same time is germany prepared to give in on its red lines. at this time it seems greece has the most to lose especially as the ecb is tightening the screws and that could mean two, three days if there is no deal or a tentative deal of sorts the banks won't have any cash left rosie. >> it's a do or die moment for the prime minister for tsipras whether he understands that presumably the fact that he changed finance ministers here is that an indication or signal and from what we know about mr. tsipras so far, is this going to work out for greece in the end? >> look i think he's being very
12:08 am
tactical. i think he is being savvy. some people would say he is being reckless. but so far it's gone his way. the banks are closed and capital controls imposed on many people here but the majority of greeks support him completely. 61%. and greeks are not saying we want everything handed to us on a silver platter. we are prepared to work but let's be considerate. five years of austerity and of cuts that have been added hasn't done anything for us. one way they have to come up with proposals. i think alexis tsipras is going into this knowing that europe has had enough. the europe door is slightly ajar and could close at any moment and it's up to him to make some concessions on some of the proposals that europe has been calling for. there is no time to lose and if really he goes into this thinks he will perhaps have another 48
12:09 am
hours or a month or so. i think he will be reckless with his own people. >> let's have a listen. we have some sound on what jean-claude had to say a few moments ago. >> translator: greece is a great nation and putting greece out of the monetary union or the european union is not something we want or should want. and as that is the case, the european commission will continue to work towards a reopening of the negotiations with greece. what kind of a european union would it be if we stopped talking to each other? >> jean-claude juncker speaking there a short time ago saying my wish is to avoid grexit but
12:10 am
making it quite clear this is up to greece now. >> absolutely. he said very clearly, throwing greece out of the european union is not something we want but now we have to talk. and i think what he kept saying time and time again during that speech there is that he didn't understand the question the referendum was being asked and i think that is why he was heckled somewhat. he was perplexed what greeks were voting for. now i think it's time for greeks to come to the negotiating table and to speak some common sense and with european leaders about what they want to put forward. there's no time to throw in the towel which is what we saw when negotiations last week when alexis tsipras walked out and to many people's surprise overnight decided to announce a referendum. i think he is basically saying we don't have time for that. if you are serious, you need to come forward with some credible
12:11 am
proposals. >> the greek prime minister scored points with the referendum. no doubt about that. but now of course the pressure is on him to put solid reforms on the table. we'll see what he comes up with. thanks to isa soares. >> heckling in the european parliament. haven't seen that in a while. >> that's new. now to a newly revealed admission from bill cosby. he obtained sedative drugs to give to woman he wanted to have sex with. >> this comes from newly released court documents and his testimony in a 2005 court case that was settled out of court. >> cosby has long denied drugging and sexually molesting these women even though they have been vocal in speaking out. but in court papers that were unsealed comedian bill cosby testified that he obtained
12:12 am
quaaludes intending to give them to young women he wanted to have sex with. he was asked when you got the quaaludes was it in your mind you were going to use these on young women you wanted to have sex with and he answered yes. the lawyer asked if he gave the quay quaaludes to young women and cosby answered yes. and a woman asked cosby whether they were herbal he said they're your friends. i have three friends to make you relax. he later came back and said they were benadryl. cosby denied the allegations against him but it's there are a number of civil lawsuits he is now facing. the information in this deposition clearly not going to help his statements that he never molested these women. >> certainly not. and quaaludes, this is a drug
12:13 am
that acts as a sedative and hypnotic. what did cosby say his motive was for intending to give the drug to this particular woman? >> cosby in the deposition is giving very broad answers to the questions that are being put before him. but what is interesting is it is made very clear that the woman could not fight back. she knew what was happening but was in a semiconscious state in which she felt him behind her and she simply passed out. when she awoke her clothes were in a state of disarray. the lawyers were trying to get to the point that cosby knew what was going on and was aware what was happening but as far as why did you give her these quaaludes he was vague and he had a lawyer with him making sure he didn't answer certain questions. iran says a nuclear deal is an historic opportunity for the u.s. as negotiations face a looming deadline in vienna the

negotiators in vienna are working around the clock as they face another deadline in the iran nuclear talks. >> a senior iranian official says there is more time for negotiation if the u.s. makes some constructive moves but western leaders are prepared to walk away empty handed if iran refuses to budge on the important issues. we are covering all the angles. nic robertson is in vienna. senior cnn international correspondent nic robertson joins us live from vienna. we know they worked through the night trying to come up with some solutions. some of the thorny issues have been resolved but there is a lot that hasn't been. some of the major challenges.
12:19 am
talk to us about what remains at this point. >> reporter: the thing on both sides the iranian and u.s. side and the other foreign ministers say that much ground has been covered, yet there are still gaps. the significance of the meetings three hours total in two meetings between the foreign ministers of france germany, britain, the eu foreign policy chief, china, russia u.s. secretary of state john kerry and foreign minister zarif, unprecedented to have two such long meetings going back to back. but some of the outstanding issues still seem to be the amount of research and nuclear development technology can continue after an agreement. the dispute about how much and how long the cooling down period
12:20 am
should be where they have no research and development. the issue of access to sites across iran for the inspection teams. the issue of sanctions, some of that seems to be laid to rest but one of the things that emerged as one of the strongest issues and biggest red lines as much as we can tell at this stage, we're not privy to what goes on inside the meetings. but a diplomat said that u.n. security council saxesnctions that put an arms embargo on iran are a red line. the arms embargo must be lifted before they are willing to get on board with a nuclear deal. that is a red line for the united states and other powers here. that seems to be one of the big issues but we are not privy to what happens inside those
12:21 am
meetings. >> nic robertson keeping an eye on those negotiations. many thanks to you. >> all they are looking for is for the sanctions to go as quickly as possible. it's a straight forward deal as far as iran's concerned, isn't it? >> is it in some respects. the majority of iranians want the sanctions to be lifted as fast as possible. this is a young population that wants economic development quickly but it is a very proud population and the ma jord of people feel that iran should have the right to use nuclear technology in a civilian way. now we have been speaking to government officials and hard liners and the average iranian as well. and it is interesting to capture the mood. people do realize that this is a pivotal time for their country. i was able to speak to the
12:22 am
deputy foreign minister about what this deal could mean for iran's future relations with the u.s. and with the west. here's what he had to say. what do you think a nuclear agreement would mean for cooperation or interaction with the united states here in this region? >> translator: our nation has bitter memories of the united states in the past 36 years following our revolution. but the nuclear negotiations are a historic opportunity with the u.s. if the united states acts wisely and logically in these negotiations then we can say that america has left a positive impression with the iranian nation. so if the moves and actions of the united states are constructive it can leave a positive impact of the u.s. which can lead to further engagement and interaction. >> including the fight against terrorism and isis. do you see cooperation there? >> translator: there is a need of serious confidence building
12:23 am
in that respect. we are helping the iraqi government fight against terrorism. however there are no links and no cooperation with the united states in the fight against isis. >> there are some countries in this region and there are politicians in the united states as well who fear that iran will expand its influence here in the region if a nuclear deal comes through if the sanctions are lifted. what do you say to that? >> translator: if a nuclear deal is finalized between iran and the p5+1 that will help developments in the region and our agreement will not be aimed at any country in that region. >> is there any scenario in syria where iran would drop support for bashar al-assad? >> we do not insist that bashar al-assad remains the lifelong president in syria. but we are against the idea that terrorists should make that decision for syria. upon request of the syrian government we have offered
12:24 am
assistance on the level of military consultants to syria in the face of terrorists and we have no troops on the ground in syria. >> it's interesting because of course the negotiations are about the nuclear issue, the lifting of the sanctions would be the nuclear sanctions as well. but in total it's about iran's role here in this region. a lot of the powers in this region would be afraid of an iran that is stronger than it is right now. but i want to get back to your original question where you said for iranians this is straight forward. in a way it is but there are also of course a lot of things that complicate the matter. you have a moderate population but you do also have very powerful hard liners who don't want to give an inch to western powers especially to the united states and this is something that the government here and the supreme leader in iran have to navigate both in any final agreement but also in statements
12:25 am
to a runup to an agreement. >> thank you, very much, indeed. back to the united states and the south carolina nat has given preliminary approval to remove the confederate flag from capitol grounds. lawmakers had an impassioned discussion monday. >> is it not about the history. is it not about heritage. it is not about hate. it's about how to heal wounds that stretch back many many years. >> as far as this day on the state house grounds it isn't part of our future. >> the final senate vote is planned for today. a 2/3 majority is required to move to the state house of representatives for approval. >> south carolina's governor is calling for the flag to come down. it is the subject of renewed criticism after a racial shooting at a black church in charleston.

exit in the eurozone but he is struggling to understand what greeks voted for on sunday. he spoke to the european parliament this morning in france. >> translator: carried along by very ambitious presidency and let me also pay my respects to your negotiators. it is true that since the treaty of lisbon -- >> translator: the role of the european union is not something we want or indeed should want and as that is the case the european commission will continue to work toward a reopening of the negotiations with greece. what kind of a european union would it be if we stopped talking to each other? >> jean-claude juncker there. newly released court documents show that comedian bill cosby received in 2005 that he got sedatives for women he

52 people were killed and hundreds were injured when suicide bombers attacked london's mass transit system. today britain is honoring the victims and the survivors. obviously, this happens in the shadows of what happened in tunisia as well. particularly poignant. >> reporter: that's right, max. it's soon to be 8:50 in the morning here marking ten years to the moment that three suicide blasts detonated on three separate london underground stations. less than an hour later, a fourth blast took place on a bus. in total some 52 people killed that tragic day. this country forever changed. there will be a wreath laying ceremony to mark that moment in hyde park. the british prime minister david cameron expected to be there as well as the london mayor and

12:34 am
terrorism continues to be as real as it is deadly the murder of 30 innocent britons while holidaying in tunisia is a brutal reminder of that fact. but we will never be cowed by terrorism. the attack in tunisia claiming 38 lives including 30 british nationals. the deadliest attack since the 7/7 attacks. today, though a focus on remembering the victims ten years ago. there will be a ceremony following the wreath laying ceremony there will be a ceremony at st. paul's and a separate ceremony again at hyde park later in the afternoon. >> and a moment that effects the survivors more than anyone else doesn't it? remembering the victims the people that died it's the survivors who find it so often at these times to understand how they survived.
12:35 am
>> and people here in london remember that day, still remember that day ten years on. and in vivid detail people recalling where they were when they first heard the news of the attacks. but as you point out, most vivid for the survivors and for the family members of those who died. we spoke to graham russell. he lost his 28-year-old son to the blast aboard the bus. take a listen to what he had to say say. >> it feels like yesterday. it's like having a piece of your soul ripped out. and you just go on. if people ever tell you that you get over it that's just not true. time is not a great healer. all that happens is you are further away from the event. and things get easier. but they never heal. >> reporter: you heard him say
12:36 am
it's like having a piece of your soul ripped out. for the families and friends of the victims, for the survivors they are not just remembering today, they remember what happened every day. that's one of the reasons why it's so important that the country comes together. max? >> thank you very much. an illegal immigrant accused of killing a san francisco woman is now charged with murder. juan francisco lopez-sanchez admitted that he shot kate steinle but he claims that the gun he found on the ground went off on its own. steinle was walking with her father when she was shot. she died on the the way to the hospital. on monday a prayer vigil was held on the popular walkway where steinle was shot. people left flowers, candles, notes and prayed for the 32-year-old victim and her

12:38 am
core and the core is to deal with the social desperation. >> reporter: the level of violence in the nation's third largest city is not much better than it was two years ago. >> i'm not going to say they are worse but they are not better. >> reporter: that's when a murder sparked outrage across the country. her parents can't believe her death did not lead to greater change. >> it's instant heart break. i know what that -- those parents are feeling. >> reporter: despite the frustration, the pendletons will not quit. the pain they feel will never go away. >> you don't want other people to feel the way they have felt but there have been thousands of other families who have joined this fraternity that no one wants to be a part of. >> that was ron nobles reporting from chicago.

you're back with us as we take these live pictures. british prime minister david cameron at the wreath laying ceremony for the victims of the 7/7 terrorist attacks there that hit the transportation system in london. >> there will be a moment of silence later led by prince william and the prime minister really starting a day of events today to commemorate what happened ten years ago now, which seems incredible. 52 people killed when bombs went off simultaneously in three tube stations and later on a bus as well. more than 700 were injured and the survivors very much involved in all of the ceremonies today and the families of the victims as well. that's the main memorial in london. >> and of course there will be a service, a commemoration at st.
12:50 am
paul's cathedral as well. survivors and first responders will attend and at 11:30 local time there will be 1 minute of silence across london. a memorial service in hyde park as we said with prince william attending. but that memorial very very powerful. and you can go there any day and there are always people there even ten years on it really affected the uk. >> it really is and when you think 52 people died. hundreds were injured in that. and it is just shocking and for the british people and of course this comes as we know britons are mourning those who were killed in tunisia. >> that's the shadow and debate around all of this as well. statements released by the police and mi5 today. and the references you constantly get are that the terror threat is constantly
12:51 am
changing. this was an attack on home soil tunisia on foreign soil but the message really from the security services is you are vulnerable as a brit wherever you are right now. but this was the latest terror attack on the uk home soil. >> it sends the message to people the terrorists trying to terrorize people on the public transport system. people are not easy any more on the trains and the buses. but it is just part of life that they need to the practicality of having to get from "a" to "b." but unnerving for people and on this day, people remembering the loss of those 52 people. it was a tragic day for brits. >> just had an e-mail from mi5 and their director general said we remember the victims of a dreadful day when 52 people died
12:52 am
at the hands of terrorists and the truth about the murders, the injuries to hundreds of others and the many lives affected quitely became apparent. and you remember that day. initially you had the reports of a power surge and then these multiple attacks coming through over the course of the day. >> and then as authorities gradually and slowly tracked down the killers. >> and there was a big, big test and huge investigation that followed. and all the systems have changed as a result. it's interesting. we were seeing earlier pictures of one of the survivors who met the policeman, the transport policeman who saved her for the first time in all of these years. it was a very emotional moment. but the systems weren't perfect on that day in response. but they've been constantly reviewed ever since and i was recently at a big rehearsal, a -- where they try to practice
12:53 am
what happened in sydney, actually, a lone gunman running through. and these -- what they're trying to do now is just try to keep up with the current threat. the last real example of something that happened in london was this. and more than 50 people diagnose it was the worst-case scenario, really. >> it was the first suicide bombings by islamist militants in western europe. >> for a day, touched by so many we'll forever keep in those people's minds. >> all i remember is a white light in front of my eyes. and it wasn't just a flash. i felt like it was there for a long time. and i remember looking at this white light and having the feeling that i was being shook from side to side. >> dense, billowing smoke poured
12:54 am
