reporter: it indicates this is genetically similar to the outbreak witnessed in saudi arabia, where it was thought the virus was initially transmitted to humans vaia camels. anchor: well, people in china are asking for answers after what was deemed the worst maritime accident after a ship capsized in the yancey river. they have been trying to reach people. they say there will be no covering up of the findings. well, today, june 4 is a day weighted with significance in china. on this day 26 years ago, a democracy movement was crushed. beijing's main it tiananmen square is forever associated with the massacre, and today they have been deeply divided about the future of their own democracy. we have the story. reporter: the images are iconic.

resistance against authoritarian rule. the demand however for democracy in beijing 26 years ago q a massacre. -- 26 years ago led to a massacre. in hong kong thousands held a vigil in victoria park, and there was one pro-democracy group spreading a message. >> we have to remind people the government we face now is the same one that massacred its own people in 1989. reporter: amid further divisions, they are arguing that history shows a crackdown was the best response. >> it was reasonable. report: these students meanwhile, are organizing. >> we don't agree with the

all of her, there is a dispute between russia and ukraine over exactly what happened. oliver: i was not in the area of the battle yesterday. i have only just arrived district which was involved, which is the district of don etsk, and if you go in there you see the evidence of a pretty hard-fought battle. you see spent ammunition and artillery. you see lots of damaged property, and so for the people who are left there, it is a pretty nightmarish existence. as i understand, they are now back in government controlled hands. one checkpoint we know changed hands yesterday but is now back under government control, and we are in a situation where today has been quite quiet, and that

is where we are now. anchor: all parties concerned agreed to a meeting in minsk earlier this year, to end this kind of fighting. they came to a pretty clear agreement about what is allowed and what is not allowed. all of her: the fighting has been continuing the last few weeks, but it has been limited to particular hotspots around the region, and it has been limited to mortar fire and the main gunfire rather than the use of artillery. there were changes yesterday and that artillery and multiple rocket launches were spreading lethal weapons over a large distance causing a lot of damage to civilians and property. that is the big difference that is happening. but, as i say, last week, i was in another hot spot, and i

witnessed an incoming ukrainian mortar attack, a very severe one. many dozens of mortars coming the way of rebels so to say that the fighting has only just begun is probably wrong, but what has changed is the types of weapons being used changed, and perhaps part of the front line yesterday, which is significant. anchor: what is morale like among the people? oliver: if you talk to the ukrainian people remaining here, it is not a very clear situation, because on the one hand, they understand they came under attack yesterday from rebel forces, but they have been living under this for months and they consider that though they are ukrainian citizens, many of them want to remain part of ukraine, and they believe that the ukrainian government has forgotten about them, and certainly for those people still living there, it has been a very difficult thing. there are only three shops

working in the area at the moment. many people have not had access. there has also been question over a system which means that in order to basically go past border points, citizens have to get a hold of these permits which are very hard to get hold of, and if you do not have the money to pay for them, you have to wait many, many months, so for them, it is big. every day has become exceptionally difficult. anchor: thank you, all, talking to us from ukraine about the situation there once again. and the president has been warning about that today. he called it a colossal threat to our security, the president of ukraine warning that thousands of russian soldiers are poised at the border ready to launch a large-scale invasion. there had been more scandals fifa in common -- more scandals

greece was supposed to make four payments this month, and they were supposed to be made on these different dates as you can see right here, but instead, there will be one payment. this was created in the 1970's, a role for countries having difficulty making payments in the short term. there is still no agreement on the lifeline for greece. greek prime minister alexis tsipras held talks. there are the reforms that the eurozone and the imf want for that bailout trots. the greek government does not want more austerity at a time when it has already dug a deep hole in the greek economy, but others say they cannot do better than their current proposal. >> the joint proposal agreed between the european commission, the imf, and the european central bank has clearly

demonstrated significant flexibility on the part of the institutions relative to the previous program in order to take into account the political situation and the social situation. markus: dallas christine lagarde, the head of the monetary fund is speaking there, and for more on the story i spoke with a finance minister from a business school earlier and i asked about the meaning of the payments. guest: the imf giving a green light, postponing the payments gives each party some leeway very crucial to continue and for

last-minute agreements. markus: so this does not mean that greece is defaulting on its debts. there has been this conversation for some time whether or not greece will default. this does not mean that greece will default. guest: absolutely not. number two, that greece would pay in time. the imf will announce it. there is a payment in june. all of the parties, the imf, the ecb, the eu, and greece. markus: we will move on now.

under fire in israel. it is said that orange ones to withdraw from the country, and it sparked anger from israel, and one person even called for the french president to fire him. our reporter has more details. reporter: it should have been just an ordinary press conference. the comments of the chief executive of orange in egypt have landed him in hot water. ceo: our plan is to withdraw from israel. our intention is to cut this link. i want to secure the legal risk for the company. reporter: under a deal there

partner uses the brand name for a fee. they had no direct stake in the israeli operation. still, it has come under pressure from human rights groups in france after they began building infrastructure on israeli settlements. the deputy foreign minister said she was taken aback by his comments appealing to him to refrain from siding with those who target israel. there is a 25% stake in orange and the cultural minister is appealing. >> i am calling on the french president to immunity fire the orange ceo for his anti-semitic remarks. it is time for france to pass a message of zero tolerance for anti-semitic remarks. reporter: she has also gone one step more to call on others to

hang up on orange. markus: in israel, a story we will continue to watch, of course, as we have been hearing even from the israeli prime minister this thursday. let's move on now. the france economy minister has denied there will be fresh layoffs at arreva, -- areva which has been bleeding cash for years, posting a loss of 4 billion euros just last year. the government said it would spend as much as necessary to recapitalize them on wednesday. it also gave the green light for a utility to buy their reactor making business. earlier this year, they announced 3000 them a 4000 job cuts in france, and workers at -- 3000 to 4000 job cuts in france, and workers at areeva are worried.

another said job cuts are not in the cards. >> first, there will not be any compulsory redundancies. this will be maintained to preserve the know-how of the company and to maintain nuclear safety. markus: we will take a look at the stock markets next and greece is in focus on this trading day, and the indexes ended to the downside. the cac 40 down, the ftse 100 harder hit down one point 3%, and the athens index also down 1.3%. we need to say that, because we did not see a drop in bond markets, which has been pushing borrowing costs higher and it may mean lower profits or companies, which is another reason why we have been seeing stock markets coming under pressure this session in europe.

we are seeing a similar picture over in the united states. the bond markets once again pushing down stock markets, and we are seeing the dow jones industrial average down american investors also watching greece and all of the news coming out of greece this evening. this as otherwise, we are seeing a pretty quiet session over on wall street, which is why perhaps, investors are keen to see what is happening in greece as they try to gauge where the stock markets may be headed next. let's talk you through a few other stories we are looking at. the bank hsbc has agreed to pay money to authorities in switzerland, a payment to stem allegations that hsbc failed to fight money-laundering. it may have continued on for years with no certainty of a resolve. shares in royal mail fell as the british government said it would

sell its stake in the company. the government sold off 60% of its shares of the postal operator back in 2013, and finance minister george osborne said the remaining 30% will be offloaded later this year. he says he will use the money to reduce the deficit and pay down british debts, and ikea is purged -- is poised to spend money to tackle climate change. the biggest investment is expected to be in wind power to the tune of around 500 million euros.
