the financial crisis ripples over the market. the dow recovering some of its losses and investors will see if itting push it to bankruptcy and remove it from the european union altogether. >> craig? >> reporter: jenna, there is a new phrase used today here in greece. social unrest or the threat of it. the shock no vote in the referendum and the deepening financial crisis here. we had a taste of it outside of a bank today. and take a look at what we saw. anger on the streets of athens. last night jubulation over the no win and turned into fear. people in the bank are told that the money is running out and they may not get more cash. they are worried about their

future. remember banks are limiting withdrawal ands cutting weekly pension payments. and we were told several banks were running driveway. and some say all. banks will run out of cash if the european bank doesn't increase funds. there is no sign of that. they met with leaders to try to get more bank approximating and he is preparing to propose to the european union a bailout plan and said the no vote will help him. but the win could hurt him. the european officials said it could be hard tore get a deal now and they are beginning to talk about the role possibility of a greek exit from the euro and that could bring problems for greece and the european

union and our important international partner and u.s. itself. back to you. >> and a potentially historic move in south carolina. law makers there meeting to decide once and for all whether to keep the confederate flag on the state capitol grounds. the session is getting underway where the issue is expected to come up. johnathon is live in the state house with more. johnathon? >> reporter: good afternoon to you. the state house just beginning to go in session at this hour and debate over the flag issue, already taken up in the south carolina senate. all of the debate centered on the flag seen behind me and whether that flag should be moved from the capitol grounds and taken to a museum. >> it needs to be respected and

honored in ever way folks chose to do. but it is not part of our future, it is part of our past. >> reporter: peaceful protestors on the grounds. the critics say it does not represent all south carolinans. and there is an aggressive social media campaign to prevent the flag from being moved. >> just like isis obama's haters want the flag down and counties renamed and even taken the dukes of hazard off of tv. >> any change in the flag's location require a vote from the senate and house of representative and that was part of a compromise in 2000 when it was taken down from the dome of the state house and moved to the

confederate soldier monument where it flies today. the newspaper suggest that there is enough support in both chambers to move the flag to a museum. back to you. >> live in south carolina thanks. >> turning to politics. new fallout on donald trump's comments on immigrants. it is dividing the gop field between those who support trump and those who don't. we'll get to dan and kevin. great to have you both. and before we launch into a conversation on this i want to play the comments that everybody is weighing in on. several weeks later and paraphrased. here are the original comments that donald trump made. let's play. it >> when mexico sends its people. they are not sending their best. they are not sending you.

they are not sending you. they are sending people with lots of problems and bringing those problems with us. drugs and they are rapist and some i assume are good people. >> we had a few candidates to react. ted cruz salutes don trump and rick perry is offended. what dow think it reveals to the gop. >> it is showing the vow of immigration. they are not new. george bush tried to pass immigration reform and didn't get anywhere. and he tried. to and not that long ago there was a debate in the house and house of representative over where to go over immigration reform. and there is a huge divide in the republican party again. what is more interesting he

accentates certain parts of the republican party. he had supporters and detractors. this is not a new debate. we have to some point figure out a point forward. to either pass immigration reform or not. but at some point it will be decided. >> kevin, who does have a cohesive platform and who is leading the pack in the gop? >> what is new in the debate is the tone. from a policy stand point, we have seen the divisions in the moderate wing of the republican party and policy stand point, when you look at jeb bush this is an opportunity for him. he is bilingual and responded to the divisive rhetoric from mr. trump in spanish and marco

rubio. you have to it remember senator rubio was a member of the failed gang of eight to bring a bi- partisan policy to fix our immigration system. again, why it is a problem in the republican party is the tone. senator cruz would agree from a policy stand point with mr. trump but i am not sure senator cruz would use this rhetoric. is that really the message of the brand of the republican party that the gop wants to put out there against hillary clinton? >> what do you think of that part daniel. >> daniel trump doesn't speak for the republican party until he wins the nothingination. donald trump speaks for donald trump. they are speaking for themselves. they have support in some polls but have not won anything. and let the debate run free. there are elements of donald

trump that other candidates can learn from and certain elements that are not so good. and none theless, he can speak for himself. he is a smart guy and well spoken and knows how to work a camera in front. tv and i am for a diverse range of opinions rather than what is political correct and what isn't. >> kevin, it is not only about the content and style. it is the presentation that is raising questions from the gochlt i was interested in a comment made by senator ruben. between trump apologyist and critics critics. they are the gop's past. and the critics are the future. and made me think about what camp different candidates are in

and if you agree with that kevin. >> let's have a policy for immigration. voters are hungry for that. hispanics are fastest growing demographic in the nation. you look at 14- 16 million undocumented workers in our country it is a substantial question to have and an opportunity for rubio and bush to put forth compassion conservativism. and republicans are not talking about hillary clinton and drawing a contrast. >> bringing it full circle who does have a platform put forward? dow agree it is an opportunity for mark row rubio and jeb bush on determining the election? >> i do agree in certain

debates. the person who moves past the debate, i think that person will win. whether or not donald trump will have going to do with it that's something we can decide later. but the person able to look forward and have a forward leaning vision on immigration, that is the person who will compel the republican party to vote for him or herself and the nominating process will move forward. >> do you think that hillary clinton or any of the democrats have a stance on immigration that is a winning issue for them? does any candidate have a honed plan? >> it is a crowded field and you have two hispanics and a governor bush is bilingual. you can bet that the hispanic

vice-presidential that are rumored to be on hillary clinton's ticket are carefully watching. >> we are only a month away from the debate. where did the time go? what will we be talking about? kevin and daniel thank you for being with us. we appreciate it. >> thank you, jenna. >> still on politics. hillary clinton is responding after roping off reporters. they are herding the reporters and photographers in the event in new hampshire on saturday. the democratic presidential nominee will make herself available more to the media, she's expected to begin doing so more national television interviews in the next week. all of this after clinton was deeply critized for weeks for not answering questions from
