ptimism inside parliament, a last ditch propose proposal to avoid bankruptcy. >> the state hours away from lowering one of the most controversial symbols in american history. >> and tone it down. what the republican party boss told donald trump on his hard line stance on immigration. held why and welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm george howell. >> i'm natalie allen. thank you for being with us. you're watching cnn "newsroom."
12:01 am
>> good day to you. we begin this day in athens greece. cnn is learning new details of the government's plan to save the country from bankruptcy. and it apparently means a return to unpopular austerity measures. >> athens is hoping to get a third bailout loan. in exchange it is proposing tax hikes on hotels tv advertising, changing its pension system and push for privatization of greek rail ways and ports. >> there were huge crowds demonstrating outside parliament in athens on thursday. banks there have been closed for nearly two weeks and people are limited to 60 euro daily from atms. let's good now to cnn's isa suarez. good day to you, isa. good to have you with us. as we learn more about this
12:02 am
proposal, what are you hearing from the greek government? >> reporter: good morning, george. good morning to you, natalie. we just got our hands on the proposal from the greek government. many many pages of reading. let me talk you through some major points. which include a pension reforms, also spending cuts. and what you said more austerity. which is something the greek people didn't want. we know the greeks want a three-year bailout package. now in the proposal it doesn't say how much they are requesting but we know from greek media they are requesting a package of roughly around 53 billion euros. which is roughly what the imf if you remember said greece needed to get by. let me talk you through some of the proposal. which has some major red lines that tsipras wasn't willing to budge on. now they want it make spending cuts of 13 billion euros. that's how much they are
12:03 am
promising. so they increase vat on certain things. you mentioned a couple of them there. but mostly restaurant 23% increase on vat in restaurants. we will see also increases in electricity, books and many other areas. now, one other key area there that was a major red line which was abolishing lower rates vat, special rate to island. what they are saying now is the rich island most popular tourist island, they will get rid of that. no need for that they say, but poorer island will keep that vat. now this is crucial. because all along for the six months or so they've been in negotiations greeks have said no way, we're not going to budge. this is a red line. so it seems that they are making a compromise with the rich island. also making huge concessiones it seems to pensions which we know we've discussed, is a huge red line for them. they are saying that solidarity
12:04 am
payments which is payments it poorer pensioners that will be phased out by the year 2019. they have agreed also to raise the retirement age to 67 by 2022. they are raising corporation tax, which is a must from the european union. that has been raised to 28%. cutting military spending. all in all, they are reforming. they say they will reform the tax system and site tax evasion. so we are going back to austerity measures that greeks said that they voted on sunday for that referendum. saying no more. so it will be interesting to see today how it is received by the greeks. we are expecting these measures it pass later on this parliament. if you remember only yesterday alexi tsipras joined pretty much all of the election parties and talked them through proposals and it seems they have his backing. >> isa, you know obviously greece says no to austerity but
12:05 am
now we are seeing this new proposal that certainly introduced more austerity. again, what is the mood among people with this new plan that certainly does then to more austerity in years ahead? >> yeah very good question. very good question, george. i think it won't be very well received. already i had a very heated discussion this morning with a taxi driver who said these are shocking proposals. why are we going back to the cycle of austerity. they've had enough. we cannot take any more basically he said to me. what is important to point out here is that you know in the proposals, it does not spell out they want debt relief. nowhere does it say debt relief or debt restructuring. but we know that tsipras put in a formal request for debt restructuring. if he gets debt relief i think it'll be win for them and greeks will be prepared to make
12:06 am
sacrifice if they get that. if they don't, let's just say, things could turn very nasty indeed. george natalie? >> absolutely. we keep hearing words catastrophe and certainly there has to be a solution at some point. isa soares waking up and bringing us the latest thank you. there is a lot riding on the greek proposal including in the eurozone. >> the wine industry is one area feeling the squeeze in the greek crisis. phil black has more. >> reporter: this is one of the world's most agent wine regions. the hills are named for the ancient greek god who is said to have taught the people the skills of wine production thousands of years ago. this family planted their grapes more recently. >> in the '70s. >> reporter: they endured the country's financial crisis simply because the greek people love wine. >> it gives you the happiness
12:07 am
and the ability to talk without to be drunk. >> and part of the diet and culture for over 4,000 years. it is part of life. >> reporter: the volume of consumption remained stable. ann and george say taste changed with the national economy. >> medium priced wines have suffered and people are moving to cheaper wine. even bulk wine or bag and box. >> reporter: on the scale of human suffering, we have witnessed in greece in recent days trouble of local wine trade doesn't feature too highly but this ancient greeng greek industry in the development of european culture and civilization is now crippled by the possibility that its business relationship with modern europe is about to change dramatically dramatically. this winely received no new orders for the last week as greek banks stayed closed. and the owners don't know what currency they will run next week
12:08 am
for the business the euro or much weaker drachma. the consequences could be huge for an industry that relies on european supplies. >> bottles are imported direct. paper for labels and cart ynons is all imported. >> as well as machinery, filter paper, yeast, all expecting to be more expensive if this country runs out of pureeuros. these grapes ripening in the sun are still months from harvest. they will be turned it wine and harvested well after greece is set on course. a nation stug struggling alone with the greatest crisis of its history.ruggling alone with the greatest crisis of its history. >> george was just saying a beautiful place facing such
12:09 am
tough times. european markets are waking up and having a tough time reacting. let's look at numbers as they come in. can you see many of them up today as the european markets respond to this potential perhaps break through if it happens in greece. china's markets have just closed and for a second straight day there was another rebound. >> yes, let's look at them. the shanghai composite closing up 4.67. shenzhen composite just up over 4. cnn's andrew stevens reports on the ups and downs that the china markets have seen in recent weeks. >> reporter: >> reporter: ♪ ♪ >> reporter: china's stock markets are on the up. it feels a little bit like a carnival. everyone is a winner especially the small retail investor the punter. they make up a whopping 85% of
12:10 am
all investors in china's stock markets. but it could also be a little unreal buying stocks in china doesn't necessarily involve research understanding, your company. what it does is also a lot of rumor and speculation. plus there isn't much after choice for investors. property prices have been falling for some time and bank deposit rates are miniscule. so you put all this together and you end up with a monster rally. but it all ended on june 12th. things suddenly got ugly. for many done right scary. almost a house of horrors. three weeks of wild volatileity and growing fear slashed 30% of the value of stocks in china. that equales a paper loss of some $3 trillion.
12:11 am
now that really is scary. s a paper loss of some $3 trillion. now that really is scary.s a paper loss of some $3 trillion. now that really is scary. but to talk about china's stock markets, you have to talk about the elephant in the room and that is the chinese government. they actively encourage the bull run but they've been even more involved when the markets start td tank trying to staunch those losses. just in recent days they've cut interest rates. they've ordered the brokerage houses and the state-run pension funds to buy the market. they banned new ipos, and they've also eased restrictions on people who have borrowed to buy stocks. they don't yet know whether or not it is enough to draw a lin out of the stock market crash. but one thing is certain. in this environment, you pay your money, you take your chances, and expect a few bumps along wait. andrew stevens, cnn, hong kong.
12:12 am
>> never seen the chinese markets broken down like that. >> i know he. quite clever andrew. we appreciate it. i think he had fun in those bumper cars. >> i think he did for sure. history is about to be made in south carolina. lawmakers decided the confederate flag a fixture on the state ground will come down later today. >> it is seen as a reminder to many as slavery in the u.s. the fight to remove the flag was reunited last month after nine black worshippers were shot and killed inside a church in charleston. police say the white suspect who posed for picture with the flag wanted to start a race war. >> earlier, i spoke with the state lawmaker who voted to take the flag down and he says even though he had ancestors who served in the confederacy, this was the right thing to do. >> a big week. you know since all this has
12:13 am
happened couple of weeks ago, south carolina has been very nice in the fact we have all about people have been so calm and collected. and i'm just happy to be a part of the process. here in south carolina too, to bring the flag done and do what's best for her people for our people, and for the great state of south carolina. it has been a great pleasure to rep doesn't my district district 50 for the past 31 years, and this is something i'm looking forward to being a part of. hopefully tomorrow morning it will all get done. it'll be placed in the confederate room which will be the resting place for the confederate flag. >> talk to me sir, about what it was like because it would take -- it took an overwhelming amount of support among your fellow legislators to bring this flag down and what we saw. we saw this 12-hour debate play out. about whether it should come down. what was it like for you to be in that hall and see that debate
12:14 am
happen? >> well you know, for me, with the amount of confederate heritage that i have a great grand daddy two took his oath to support the union, i knew the best thing for me to do was to vote in the affirmative to bring the flag done and there were a lot of house members who felt that way from the very beginning. there were others who had different opinions and there were a lot of constituents back home calling, e-mailing, and telling legislators, do not bother my flag. but you know what's happened, i think tonight, as we approach tomorrow morning at 10:00 on the 10th of july is what is best for her people that's south carolina and our state. i'm looking forward to this being a peaceful resolution it an issue that's been boiling for quite sometime. >> it has been quite remarkable to see this happen. and we will of course be covering it in a if you hours there in south carolina. we want to turn now to the

stunning video here from indonesia. it's beautiful. but this right here there volcano is causing some nightmares as it spews ash into the air. just amazing video. but this is what's happening. four airports are now closed because of the scores of floits cancelled. thousands of passengers are going nowhere. >> that's right. let's get to our meteorologist derek van dam here. >> these images are incredible. >> the power of nature here. >> that is called a river of lava. can you see it behind me. it is that brighter shading of orange. that's the laughva spewing out.
12:22 am
unfortunately, the ash cloud associated with this volcanic eruption was sent about 4 to 6 kilometers up into the air. the wind drifted that ash cloud into the nearby well-. lated tourist destination of bali. that forced the cancellation of several different flights and the closure of four different airports including the the airport in the southern portions of bali. okay, here is perspective. east java. this is indonesia. this is just to the north. now what we have done is located with satellite imagery the actual volcano, when it erupted. you notice the darker shading on this map. that's actually the volcanic ash getting picked up by upper level wind. we identified it here with the red lien. notice how it drifts east ward across bali. this is why they closed that airport down.
12:23 am
because volcanic ash and jetliners do not mix well. we have reported on this several tims. unfortunately it doesn't look like wind will ease up much. we can see a change in the direction that will allow perhaps for the, well airports to reopen. i will switch gears. we've got so much to talk about including four named tropical typhoons across the spirveg. six storms in total. take a look at what downtown hong kong looks like at the moment. we have clear skies in hong kong and actually a beautiful day but it wasn't much long ago that we saw typhoon moving through the region and that produced well a significant amount of damage just to the east and the guong dong province. now we are focussing on a new storm. a storm that will impact the east coast of china, including shanghai. roughly 24 million people there under the gun for the possibility of strong winds
12:24 am
localized flooding and as this new approaching typhoon reaches the eastern shores of china, that is going to cause serious problems going into this weekend. something to monitor very closely. >> you're a busy man. >> very busy. thanks guys. >> police in bangladesh say a rush to receive donated clothes resulted in a stampede killing 20 people and injuring many more. >> authorities fear the death toll may rise. stampede took place outside the gates of a tobacco factory. now to the latest in the iran nuclear talks. we are just hours away now from the third deadline set for negotiators to try to reach an agreement. >> u.s. secretary of state john kerry said that progress is made. he has been saying that a lot. but now says the west is willing to walk away from these talks. earlier this week a top u.s. democrat quoted president obama saying the chances of a deal are now less than 50/50.
12:25 am
an agreement would require teheran it curb its nuclear program in exchange for easing of economic sanctions. >> all eyes on what happenes with that. >> after a barrage of comments about illegal immigrants in the u.s. being criminalists and rapist several leading republicans are distancing themselves from donald trump. >> the party's committee chairman called trump on wednesday to reign him in. trump tells a different story. here is joe johns. >> reporter: one call two very different stories. donald trump pushing back against reports that rans prif yas ask had him to back off. >> he said perhaps you can tone it done a little bit but if it is possible but i notice know that's your personality and you are who you are and that's it. >> trump saying the call is quick and ps. >> very brief call and very nice call and more after
12:26 am
congratulatory call than anything else. >> reporter: but a republican source tells dana bash that prif yas talked with trump and voiced kerps about the damage he is doing to the republican brand. >> they are bringing drugs. bringing crime. they're rapist and some i assume are good people. >> reporter: according to the source he told trump, like i got to tell you, i spent four years trying it make inroads with the hispanic community. how we agre illegal immigration is important to winning back hispanics politically. lindsey graham agreed in an interview with jake tapper. >> my party is in a hole with hispanics. the first rule of politics when you're in a hole is stop digging. somebody needs to take a shovel out of donald trump's hand. >> good luck with that. >> that is joe johns reporting. >> european stock exchanges are open for the day. just ahead, we good live to london to see if the new greek

welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. this is cnn "newsroom." good to have you with us. i'm george howell. >> i'm natalie allen. greece hoping to secure another european bailout with a reform plan of tax hikes and spending cuts it a proposing. parliament will debate the proposal before it goes to
12:31 am
european creditors. it they don't approve the plan greece could go bankrupt and be forced out of the eurozone. >> nikki haley signed into a law a bill that will take down the battle confederate flag from the statous grounds. it'll be removed later today. a white gunman killed nine african-american seen in picture with that flag. >> today, pope francis will visit what's considered bolivia's most violent prison. he will meet with inmates and their children at maximum security in santa cruz. the catholics leader's visit is part of his eight-day tour of south america. we turn to the greek financial crisis. it outlines the steps it plans to take. good morning to you, nina what are we learning and how are european market reacting in early going on?
12:32 am
>> hi natalie. let's start with the former. what we've seen here is a plan that's not too different, i might add, from the one that the greeks actually rejected in that ref repd um vote that they decided to hold last weekend which will raise a number of questions in greece. perhaps more politicians. be more amenable. they include concessions of one of the magic over sticking points that had been a top talk for some of the poorest pensioners in the gross tax hikes as can you see on restaurants, hotels as well as taxes for tv advertising an we've also got planes it recheck the vat concessions for some of the island that you will remember the tourists hot spots that were so much part of the red lines that the greek government didn't want it cross there. saying that with what we need for the eye lapts is their outlying areas. the poorer needs vat relief.
12:33 am
they decided it capitulate the rich island where the foreign tourist good to saying they will raise vat on that. perhaps the sticking point for other island because they haven't decided to did that. raising corporation tax as well. what is interesting here is to see how the europeans digest it. it does seem this is a bit after capitulation on a number of points the groek government had been saying had been red lines all along. one of the reasons they decided to vote no in that referendum p. look at how the markets are fair pg. that's the other question you asked me natalie. the market is not too bad. we have had quite a robust reaction to the optimism that finally the deal son the table. only a razor thin time now between now and sunday. 48 hours to try and get european leaders to take a good concrete hard look at these proposals and remember that the eurozone owns about 60% of the debt greece has outstanding.
12:34 am
big countries like germany and france have a big say on whether or not the proposals really are enough. >> so that's how the markets see it. but the big question will europe buy into this deal at the summit this weekend. >> yeah exactly. as i was saying before natalie, that hinges on the number of big players here. france and germany. is it a bit of a split here. these were drafted, aconsidereding it a couple of media reports, with the help of the french government. the french government all along said and has been more vocal in saying we have it help gross stay inside the single currency rather than leave the single currency tp angela merkel is coming under increasing pressure from the german media an german taxpayers to not let the greeks off the hook for another chunk of a billout. we don't know the sum that greece is asking for in return for these concessions on reforms. could be around 55 to 56 billion
12:35 am
euros. according to some media reports but we have seen a split between european countries and remember other countries themselves have been hit hard by austerity had their own bail" like portugal and of course they are heading towards elections towards the end of the year. they can't afford to see an anti-austerity party do extremely well in those elections in the referendum and in their negotiationes with brussels and greece because of course that would mean that the anti-austerity parties in those countries would also have a larger say. to who knows, this could cause some friction inside europe when we see those summits taking place over the weekend. >> some are saying this perhaps could be angela merkel's most important decision and she has add lot of them, hasn't she? thank you so much. the newly appointed leader of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula is calling for attacks on the united states. 14-minute he video released by

12:38 am
position. one official calls them a crude mechanism for internal control. purges may show that kim feels vulnerable but he is also sending a bone-chilling signal to those in his closest circles. >> don't mess with me, i'm the boss and if you know what's good for you, you'll stay absolutely loyal to me. >> reporter: there are even published reports that architect of pyongyang's new airport was executed because kim doesn't like the design. >> i saw my first public. cougs when i was 7. >> reporter: defender lee, who left while kim ae father was in power says people have been executed over their homosexuality or religion. cnn can't review accounts. >> many people gathered to watch those public executions because it was mandatory in north korea. and the very front line of the crowd, that should be the

12:47 am
true we were trying to treat him differently and good all out because it was a powerful person we never would have plea bargained this case. >> but fabian nunez and arnold schwarzenegger claim the case was never as air tight as a prosecution argued. witnesses say co-defendant ryan jett already on probation actually stabbed santos while nunez stabbed two others who survived. considering nunez's limited role in the killing and clean prior record i believe his sentence is disproportionate it jett's but that's not how arnold schwarzenegger ruled one year earlier when he refused to commute sentences of 29 suspects who had limited roles in various hom homicides. 29 suspects with no powerful political connections to governor arnold schwarzenegger. >> i think this connotation it a complete joke. it highlights how politics has come into permeate the entire
