We begin with the urgent situation in greece a nation in the midst of a deepening crisis. The greek Prime Minister will face an emergency meeting tomorrow. He is expected to present a new proposal, after voters rejected the bailout. Many greeks are proud they stood up to international pressure. But things could get much worse for them before they get better. Jonah hull reports now from athens. Reporter on this day there is one sentiment amove others on the street. Im proud of my people. Yes, i feel proud for my people but also confused because we say no to the proposal of europe. We want a better proposal. Reporter but pride in greeces die fiance of its International Lenders isnt enough to avoid the fall. The banks are still shut. Thursday opening the earliest but even then theres no guarantee they will reopen. Meanwhile, work on a wider bailout for greece is well underway hostageway. Prime minister tsipras, armed with the backing of oppositionparty leaders will present new proposals in brussels on tuesday, and theres a new finance minister the oxford educated man who replaces the flam boyant finance minister not widely liked by his european counterparts. There is an ill feeling that has built up in recent months. Theyll be negotiating with people like this the german finance minister and likely poster boy of the resounding no hated by many greeks as the architect of their pain sucking their blood for the past five years they say. Within the week i will not predict it will be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow but there is no reason why within the week we cannot exit this very, very dangerous moment, not only for greece but for europe. What would that take . It will take mutual compromises it will take putting at the heart of the negotiations the good of the people of europe and the European Union, the stability of the European Union above other kinds of priorities and interests that prevail now. Reporter meanwhile the drip drip drip of cash from the banks continues, making a bank rescue harder by the minute. Translator people want the banks to open and they want a peaceful life and that can only be achieved as part of europe. I wouldnt say im really positive. I hope they find a solution because im really terrified, and i dont know what is going to happen tomorrow. Reporter greeks are proud and by saying no more many will feel they are won their dignity back, but they may not be allowed to enjoy the moment for long. In a joint News Conference today, the leaders of france and germany say they respect greeces vote but they warn that tomorrows summit will be crucial to greeces future and the future of the euro zone. Reporter together their countries account for nearly half of the euro zone so the views of the german chancellor and the french president are crucial. Angela merkel has taken a firm line of greeces need to live up to its commitments. The time had come for fransz and germany to speak with one voice. Translator it is now to the government of mr. Tsipras to submit proposals so they can remain in the euro with a program that is sustainable. Translator it is not only the greek population and the greek people who have a say here. It is also the other 18 countries. We have one common currency. We want to keep this common currency, and therefore, all sides need to be responsible and show solidarity. Reporter the euro zone is moving into unchartered waters. Greeces European Partners are worried about setting a dangerous precedent. Other countries in the euro zone such as spain will be watching next developments closely. Like greece spain has lived through difficult economic times. The Spanish Government has been forced to impose unpopular austerity measures so will be wary of greece getting special treatment. Translator i believe that from the point of view of the greek public, some errors have been made by the institutions, but i also say its inevitable that greece makes reform, because other count tries have already put them in place and emerged from the recession. Reporter it looks like a bad omen. In fact they are just repairing the sign and it will be back in place on thursday. The process of reviving the currency this sign represents will doubtless take much longer. Jacky rowland, al jazeera, paris. Diplomats from iran and six world powers have less than 24 hours until their self imposed deadline to reaching a agreement on Irans Nuclear program. There are still some key hurdles to clear. Reporter for days and days now intense negotiations have been underway taking place at all times of day. But now those meetings are being carried out by Foreign Ministers themselves all of the Foreign Ministers are here in vienna and for the first time in this final stage of these negotiations, they have also been meeting together. The Chinese Foreign minister says they are now pretty close. Translator new progress has been made in the negotiations. There are still several issues outstanding on the table. We believe that Acceptable Solutions can be found to these outstanding issues. Hence the comprehensive agreement is within reach. Reporter were told there are only a few items on which they now have to try to getting a agreement, but in this process, the last details were always going to be the most difficult ones. Theyll continue meeting, knowing that time is running out. The deadline is tuesday. Theres only matter of hours left. Iranians are keeping a close eye on the talks in vienna. Reporter we are less than 24 hours from the extended deadline for those negotiations in vienna to figure out the future of Irans Nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of sanctions. I have to say from the people i have been speaking to there does seem to be some optimism. There has been a lot of coverage of these negotiation here in tehran, and a lot of talking from the foreign minister zarif as well as others at the negotiating table about what iran is expecting, what it wants, and what is likely to happen. The latest we are hearing on the record is that these negotiations are closer than they have ever been and that the iranian negotiators do anticipate a deal. Now what we have heard is that it may not be a deal by the end of july 7th, which is the deadline that was extended last week but that possibly within 24 to 48 hours after that before the end of this week there should be a deal. Now what we had heard from members of the p5plus1, the other powers negotiating with iran in vienna is that they are not going to stretch this deadline beyond the end of tuesday, but pretty much every deadline in this negotiation has come and gone. I have spoken to some iranians who would like there to be a deal, the lifting of sanctions, but in fact dont hold out a lot of hope that it is going to happen now. It is the same sort of game of wait and see that we have been experiencing with the last deadline, some sense that they are in fact getting closer. The important thing to iranians is that the sanctions get left lifted as soon as possible. How quickly after the deal will sanction be removed . Will they be removed completely or in stages . And will they go away if iran sticks to its side of the deal. You are watch ali velshi right here on al jazeera. President obama made a rare visit to the pentagon today to get an update on where things stand in the fight against isil. Confronting and destroying the group, the president says will be a longterm effort. Jamie macintyre joins us live from the pentagon. Reporter the president came here to the pentagon to discuss with his top advisors what was working and what could be done better. But there is still no consideration of putting u. S. Troops in a combat role on the ground in either iraq or syria. After an hour and a half meeting, president obama made a rare appearance in the pentagon Briefing Room flanked by ash carter and his top commanders the president gave a 15minute defense of his antiisil air campaign, which he says when combined with effective forces on the ground has handed isil a series of defeat. Indeed were intensifying our efforts against isils base in syria. Our air strikes will continue to target the oil and gas facilities that fund so much of their operations. Reporter over the weekend the u. S. Unleashed a wave of air strikes in iraq and syria, which the u. S. Military called its largest deliberate engage inspect syria so far. Of the more than three dozen air strikes conducted july 4th, twothirds were in syria, in and around raqqa, the primary targets were bridges like this one, the idea to disrupt their supply lines and freedom of movement and confine isil to the northern syrian city. Earlier in the day, defense secretary carter said the punishing air strikes were possible because of the effectiveness of Kurdish Forces who have been able to in carters words nominate targets. We are validate those targets, including validating that there wont be damage to innocent civilians associated with the strike and then we take the strike. Reporter the president again acknowledged there had been battlefield setbacks the defeat of isil would be neither easy nor quick. And the criticism from the political opposition on capitol hill was as strong as ever. Hours before House Armed Service Committee Chairman released a statement saying but the u. S. Central commands says over the past two months isil has given up almost 2,000 square miles of territory in syria, including the loss of a key border town to kurdish fighters. President obama argues that while isil has scored some tactical victories, including capturing ramadi in iraq he says it has some real strategic weaknesses. It is surrounded by countries that have vowed to destroy it. It has no air force and no allies. But one of the administrations sharpist critics john mccain says nothing the president has said shows that the u. S. Is on a path to success in iraq and syria, and hell be able to level that criticism tomorrow. Jamie, what is the next step in the fight against isil in iraq and syria . Reporter well, you heard the president and the secretary talk about the need for effective forces on the ground. In fact secretary carter again went out of his way to praise the fighting ability of the Kurdish Forces in the north, and by omission did not praise the iraqi forces. The key is getting those local forces in. The u. S. Has said it now has trained some of the first Syrian Opposition fighters that are going to be able to go back into syria and begin battling isil in syria, and is still trying to ramp up the training of iraqi force. It believe that is the key, and that is just going to take some time and that also requires a political will on the part of the Iraqi Government and the very uncertain situation in syria. Okay. Jamie thank you. In iraq at least 12 people were killed when a fighter jet accidentally dropped a bomb on a bagdad neighborhood. Iraqi Officials Say the bomb jammed and failed to deploy. Civilian deaths in iraq are growing as iraqi forces backed by air strikes from the u. S. Lead coalition seek to push isil out of iraq. Jane arraf has more from baghdad. Reporter fighting is intensifying around one of isils biggest strong holds. Fallujah was one of the first cities to call to isil and will be one of the most difficult to recapture. Iraqi Security Forces are using air strikes and artillery. The intensified operations, though, on the edge of the cities are killing civilians as well as fighters. The government says it is only targeting isil. But some of the victims are clearly women and children. The details are difficult to confirm. Hospitals in fallujah and ramadi are controlled by isil. Iraqi government doctors here have been pulled out. This isil video appears to show young men said to have been killed when Government Air strikes hit a gathering on a football pitch on saturday. The Defense Ministry denies they were civilians playing football saying isil bans the game. Medical sources and political leaders are saying some civilians are being killed by barrel bombs dropped by iraqi Security Forces. Military leaders here deny that. Translator we are using air force jets and army jets and artillery and other precise methods. These are our people. I hear about the use of barrel bombs in the media, but there is no such thing, i assure you. Reporter they say among isils main tactics are hiding in civilian areas. Even if the civilians wanted to leave, there arent a lot of places they can go because isil controls so much territory in anbar, there is only one route out, through baghdad where access is tightly controlled. A has left tens of thousands of families still in those cities caught between isil and the coming offensive. Jane arraf, al jazeera, baghdad.

Open your eyes to a world in motion. In South Carolina today lawmakers took the first steps towards removing the controversial confederate battle flag from the state house grounds after several hours of debate the state senate cast its vote. Diane eastabrook is in South Carolina and joins us with more on this. Diane . Reporter hi, tony. The senate voted 373 this afternoon to take down the flag. Some here said the flag is part of history, it represents southern pride, but others say it represents slavery. To remove the flag from the state house grounds and thinking it would change history, would be like removing a tattoo from the corpse of a loved one and thinking that that would change the loved ones obituary. Reporter in South Carolina Senate Chamber monday passionate words over a divisive symbol. Its also a flag that brings back horrible memories of slavery, and again, is now used frequently as a symbol of hatred and bigotry, and racism. Reporter after five hours of debate the state senate voted overwhelmingly to remove the flag from state house grounds. Rejecting an amendment that would have let voters decide. Reporter i believe the majority of south carolinians would like to see it up. So i would like to prove that with a vote. Reporter the flag has become a flash point since the killing of nine people last month at charlestons emanual ame church. During mondays debate state senator john scott argued that momentum was with those who opposed the confederate symbols. We have turned a deaf ear to a lot of things. Its time that we change. Reporter the debate over the stars and bars spilled on to the state house lawn. First of all it wasnt a civil war, so you are being brainwashed to call it a civil war im being brainwashed snfrmths a slave is one that is being brainwashed. Its about the love and harmony now, right . Reporter the senate will hold a final vote on tuesday, then it goes to the states house, where accounts by the local newspaper suggest it should also past.

The 28 year old made his first courted appearance in boston today. Prosecutor say he posted the threat on an fbi website back in may. Authorities say they found more than 100 weapons in his home and car. Gun violence in chicago left ten people dead and more than 50 wounded. Among those killed a seven year old boy gunned down during an Independence Day celebration on saturday. Usher what are police saying . Reporter nobody was anticipating this would be a violencefree weekend, unfortunately here in chicago, the police also come out in higher presence as well here in chicago. But shootings and murders were down from last year. About 80 last year and 16 fatalities, and police are saying that, you know this is something that they try to prepare for. And most of these shootings took place in the south and west sides of the city and the most concentrated gun violence erupted from dusk to dawn. One of those fatally shot was a 7 year old who was shot in the chest just before midnight as he was sitting outside his fathers home watching fireworks. Police say his father was a known ranking gang member who had been arrested some 45 times. And the boys father was somebody that should not have been on the receipts and had he been behind bars that the boy would still be alive, police say. As you heard me say time and time again, if we dont hold criminals accountable, if they do not fear the criminal justice system, if they feel repercussions from the gang that they long to for loosing the gun, outweighs the criminal justice sanctions that they would be subject to were going to stay in the position were in. Reporter tony one of the things the Police Department did was increase the number of Police Officers on patrol throughout the holiday weekend, about a 30 increase. And thats something the superintendent talked about. He said there hadnt been enough police on the streets. He said there needs to be stricter gun laws and less leniency on people charged and convicted of gunrelated crimes. Ashar qureshi thank you.

Hundreds of thousands turn out to hear his message. More uncertainty for greece. The day after voters rejected an international bailout. The outspoken finance today quit. The Prime Minister will face an emergency meeting of euro zone leaders tomorrow. He is expected to offer new proposals for resolving the crisis. The german chancellor warned today that time is running out. Translator it is important that the greek Prime Minister tells us tomorrow how to continue, what precise proposal he has for a program that will lead to prosperity and growth for greece. Time is an urgent matter here. Were joined by a professor of International Finance and business. Professor, good to see you. Im listening to Angela Merkel there, and rereading what i just read a moment ago, and what is the greek Prime Minister going to say tomorrow . What is he going to offer . What proposal did he bring with him . Well i think that thats the trillion dollars question. He he is going to have to do a complete somersault if hes going to salvage anything tomorrow. And he has run out of town. Yeah and i dont think that there is any evidence that he is a gymnast. Greece has been locked in negotiations, right, with his creditors for months now, and then and then we get this unexpected referendum, so what has changed since yesterday in the dynamics . The fundamentals of tomorrows talks . What has been changed by the referendum and the results . It has made arriving at a deal much harder. Much harder . Much harder there is little or no room to negotiate. Let me give you an example until okay. Prior to this the imf is negotiating a repayment of 1. 6 billion for last week. They missed that payment. They held a referendum and said we dont want more austerity, but we need more money. And the imf is not going to reverse itself just because a referendum was held by a country it owes money to. So essentially hes going to have to agree to everything pretty much on the table, at least in the short run. Yes. Yes. Okay. So let me put a fine point on that, right . Germanys vice chancellor is quoted somewhere as saying i really hope that the greek government if it wants to enter negotiations again, will accept that the other 18member states of the euro cant just go along with an unconditional haircut, a debt writedown, right . Absolutely. So in those talks tomorrow is tsipras being told that this is the way it is going to be or is he thinking he can dictate terms because of the outcome of the referendum . This is the tricky part. Were not sure if he is just playing domestic politics or he is truly politically naive to believe he has any room to negotiate at this point. So i think he accepts the deal or the banks stay closed on wednesday, and he has a real problem on thursday. But what about the imf lifeline right that tsipras is clinging to here. The imf saying that restructuring of greeces debt was necessary. See, and here is the tricky part, in the short run, because of all of the political brinkmanship there is very little room to negotiate. However, everybody understands in the medium to long term the debt solution has to be another bailout and restructuring. But this government has brought these talks to such a point that no one can back down anymore, not in the short run. The European Bank maybe this is more oxygen has said it will maintain emergency cash to support the banks. What does that mean . Its 89 billion a day, which they have stopped by the way, and they will rethink that on wednesday because they feel out the mood of the other e. U. s leaders. The head is not going to be judge and jury on this. So he is going to wait for the mood after the twoday meeting that starts tomorrow and then proceed from there, and if he does not resurrect the lending assistance, then theres real trouble on the ground. Gotcha. Will any of this this drama thats being played out greek drama will it impact the United States, the u. S. Economy in any way . If so how so . Yeah it will absolutely effect it but nowhere near what would have happened in 2010. In 2010 we would have been scared about what was going on. No longer. The markets have caught on that this is a greek issue, not an i euro zone issue. As far as americans are concerned, look on the bad side, we are all going to worry about our 401k plans and investment plans. Theyll be guy rating for a couple of weeks to a month, but it will settle down. On the Positive Side you know, janet yellen will be much more reluctant to raise Interest Rates this summer and therefore, also Mortgage Rates will be lower for a little bit longer now. So is it inevitable in your opinion, i need you to come down on one side of this or the other, is it inevitable in your opinion that greece ultimately exits the euro zone . No. Really . Absolutely not. This would be the worst decision they would ever make. The greeks want their cake and they want to eat it too. They dont want this austerity, but they also want the euro. They cant have both. Its good to see you. Thank you. Professor of International Finance. The Nigerian Military says it freed 180 people who had been held by boko haram. Many of the detainees were women and Young Children but in the central city two bombs killed more than 60 people. Ivan reports from abuja on from part of the story. Reporter reports suggest that one of the targets of the attacks was a popular cleric who had denounced activities by boko haram and preached peaceful coexistence between muslims and christians in the area which has been a flash point of religious violence for many years. Its not clear whether he was killed or injured in the attack. The other blast we were told it was frequented by local politicians and well to do businessmen. Now it is unclear what this all means for the authorities and how they will handle this latest violence. It comes at the end of days of violence in the region which has seen more than 200 People Killed by boko haram. When the new president was sworn in at the end of may, remember he came in to power promising to defeat the group. He moved the command and control center of the military to the northeast from the capitol. The ordered the release of more than 20 million to support soldiers fighting the group. There has also been diplomatic effort, he traveled to germany and the African Union summit in south africa he has always been to chad and nigher and then hes go to cameroon and then to the United States where it is expected that insurgency and insecurity in the northeast and boko haram will be the main topic of discussion. But even with all of the effort the government seems to be making its not filtering down to communities. These attacks for many are just evidence that boko haram is still a force to be reckoned with. A huge crowd turned out to see pope francis deliver mass today, the second day of his visit to ecuador. He traveled to the coastal city and some of the people in the crowd even camped out overnight for the service. Lucia newman has more. Reporter the heat here was often unbearable, but hundreds of thousands of pilgrims were undeterred as they gathered for Pope Franciss first openair mass. He dedicated his first major address to the family which the Catholic Church considers the pillar of society, but which is suffering from the ills of modern times in his view. Miracles are performed every day inside the family out of love he says but sometimes that love and patience runs out. The pope has taken a more liberal stance on divorce and homosexuality. He said he hoped the bishops meetings scheduled for october would provide concrete solutions to the many challenges facing families in our times. This was only the first of some 22 speeches pope francis is expected to make in south america. Very soon he will be switching gears and focusing on Climate Change. And the need for man kind to protect mother earth. Less than a month ago, pope francis issued a bitter critique of capitalism, and warned that environmental degradation and Climate Change was in danger of destroying our planet. Its a subject he is likely to touch on when he meets with the president who has decided to open up protected areas of the amazon rain forest to oil exploration. A weeklong sentencing hearing got underway in michigan today for a prominent cancer doctor who has pleaded guilty to defrauding medicare of millions of dollars. Prosecuteders say he gave unnecessary and in some cases dangerous treatment to patients whom in some cases didnt even have cancer. Reporter tony its an almost unbelievable story.

Reporter yeah you thought you were going to lose your wife. Yeah. Reporter patricia had gotten a terrifying diagnosis in 2010.

He said well im very sorry that you have this cancer. Reporter her cancer known as mds, and is a serious blood disorder that can lead to leukemia. It is not cancer. In some cases, though it is treated with chemotherapy. And thats what the doctor recommended immediately. And i just panicked and im like no. Reporter she ultimately agreed to iron infusions and later infusions of a blood product given to those with immune disordered. You were treated for how long . From 2010 to 2013 and i was due for an infusion when he was oar arrested. Reporter that week . That week. Reporter he had the largest private cancer practices in the state of michigan. He had his own pharmacy diagnostic station, and 1700 patients a virtual cancer empire. That empire is now shuttered as is the 1. 5 million home he lived in with his family. Seized by the government. The department of justice also confiscated federal records, they estimate he fleeced at least 20 million. But its more the medicare fraud, you know . The oath to do no harm. Not to do as much harm as you can. Reporter this attorney represents patricia and other victims. He held himself out as the expert of all experts in this area. He convinced his patients that he was the only person who could save them. That looks like his signature there . Yeah. Reporter after the fbi raided his office they gave patricia her medical records, which she brought to another oncologist, who gave her shocking news. Reporter this says Patricia Hester has no evidence of mds. No ef densz of mds. No evidence of any cancer it was all a lie. Patricia made the doctor write it down. This this is like surreal. How can you do that to somebody . And the entire family. Reporter patricia and her husband will be in court this week to tell the judge how the doctor ruined their lives. Patricia and mike want the doctor to spending the rest of his life in prison in fact thats what the Justice Department is asking for.

This is not going to change through the rest of the week because those temperatures are going to stay well above average. Take for example seattle, thursday, friday the temperatures will drop back down. 82 degrees, which is still above average for them. And towards portland on friday youll start to see a little bit of relief with 84 degrees. Thats about five degrees above average for that area. I want to show you the temperatures in europe. Yesterday was the highest temperature that germany has ever scene at 104. 5 degrees. And up here towards berlin this is how they took and dealt with some of those high temperatures as well. Getting out there, getting wet, getting cool staying in the shade as much as possible. Unfortunately we do expect to see those temperatures across parts of germany still very difficult, and for rome also dealing with the same type of heat. Take a look at the temperatures we saw across this particular area. We were talking about in this area with the temperature across there, 105 degrees 105 degrees .

Team usa has left the building the city and they leave canada as winners of the 2015 womens world cup, their third overall, and their first since 2015. We saw the explosion of energy and red, white and blue energy yesterday leading up to the game during and after as well. Now a bit of a soccer hangover in vancouver, bc. The team turned out for a television appearance. They were given their new National Team jerseys that have the three stars, and they had a chance to say a couple of more thank yous to the many, many fans who came across the boarder to support them in this tournament. We talked to some of those fans and some of the players, and we asked them about the future. It has been so exciting. This is going to go on for a long time.

We have heard similar numbers for france and china and other places in europe. You better recognize that this is really a growing sport. So alan look we have seen some record recordsetting performances. Are people talking about what this could mean for womens soccer . Reporter absolutely. Theres certainly a hope among those who run the sport professionally in the u. S. And those who play it the players we talked to today, who hope this can give a real bump in the steak stakes. The National Association averages about 4,000 fans in the seats. The owner of the seattle rain says they are hoping to get a bump off of this world cup, but that really remains to be seen whether that can be translated into stable longstanding games for the sport in the u. S. Two previous attempts to start leagues have failed. This league is moving through into its third year and going into its fourth. All right. Alan, thank you. For a look at what is coming up at the top of the hour del walters is here. Were already seeing the World Markets react to that no vote in greece but what about inside the country.
