Major tv network cuts ties with him. Welcome to our viewers in the United States and all around the world. Im george howell. This is cnn newsroom. And good day to you. We begin this hour in greece. Today is the day, the deadline for that country to make a 1. 7 billion loan payment to the european creditors or the cuntry country will face default. The greek Prime Minister says payment will be impossible. It has sent Financial Markets in the United States and europe into a tailspin. In new york, the dow jones saw its worst day. European markets wont open for another 24 hours. They finished in negative territory monday. Tens of thousands rallied against austerity. Mr. Tsipras has called for a referendum for people to vote on the bailout this sunday. He says there is no way greece will be forced out of the eurozone. Translator the Economic Cost if the eurozone is dismantled the cost of a country in default, 120 billion euros is enormous and this wont and in my view. My personal view is that their plan is not to push greece out of the eurozone. Their plan is to hope that there can be a different kind of policy in europe. Donald tusk of poland is the current president of the european council. He says greece has every right to hold a referendum, but he is warning of the consequences of a vote against this bailout, listen. One thing should be very clear. If someone says that the government will have a stronger negotiating position with the no vote it is simply not true. I am afraid with such a result of the referendum there will be even less space for negotiations. Cnns isa soares is athens following all the developments. Weve seen people lining up at atms around the country, people trying to get their hands on their own money, but they are restricted in some fashion. What are you seeing in athens this morning . Reporter hello, good morning, george, pretty much the same thing. And when we came in this morning, we didnt see queues yet. It was still very early, but i will tell you probably around 7 00 8 00 youll start seeing people queuing up to atms, most likely pensioners, because yesterday was supposed to be a pension day. That was supposed to be the day the government paid pensioners, but it never happened. They showed up at atms and several banks that opened just to pay the pencers that didnt have cards, and a lot of pensioners were furious because they didnt have access to their funds. They couldnt get their money out. I interviewed a lady who said that she tried ten times to get money out of her pension but she couldnt even get 60 euros, not even 5 euros, lets lone 60. Later on today we are expecting to see a rally, that is an antigovernment rally, proeurope rally in the streets of athens in the square. It will be interesting to see how big the crowd is to get a sense, george of where people stand on the issue but, you know i was listening to the sound bite that we just played from donald tusk. And i think he really struck something there. Because i think what people are thinking here, come sunday if they vote no perhaps europe will still come back with something, europe will still say maybe we can figure something out. Heres a better deal and it doesnt seem that its going that way. Europe saying yesterday the door was ajar reminding europeans, the italian Prime Minister telling people this is not about the European Commission about europe, or tsipras or greece. This is about the euro versus drachma, and this is your choice if it goes the way of a no, i think europe wont be able to offer anything to the greeks they havent offered already. Isa, so you paint this picture. You see people who are frustrated that they cant get their own money. Weve seen these big antiausterity rallies in the streets of athens but at the same time do greeks want to stay in the eu . How do you square the circle there . Reporter yeah they do. I mean this is a city pretty confused. And ive heard your discussions earlier, with zain where it doesnt make much sense that people want to stay in the eu but at the same time they want to risk it all. And its confusing, i think, but the majority of people say, look of course if we had a choice the choice would be stay in the eurozone but we know austerity. But thats not the choice. Thats not the offer being put forward by europe. If you want to stay in the eu you have to make concessions like a lot of europe did, like portugal like spain, like ireland. Theyve all made cuts and they are growing, a lot of these countries. So what they are saying is yes, we want to stay in europe. Yes, we want to be part of the european project, but we dont want austerity. At the same time other people are saying if its about staying in the european project and growth perhaps we can go it alone. And i think some people havent quite realized the consequences george of going it alone. Sure they may not have money, be able to take 56 euros, but theres much bigger problem here. They wont have any money at all to take out and that will be the tip of the iceberg. Isa soares reporting live in athens. And well stay in touch with you as this continues to play out. A senior Counter Terrorism official tells cnn the United States is definitely on a heightened state of alert as calls to attack the west come from the terrorist organization isis. The threat comes as the United States gets ready to celebrate its Independence Day this weekend. A white house official says they are mindful of the situation. Theres no specific credible intelligence to indicate any threats against sell braces over the 4th of july weekend. However, we have repeatedly seen calls for violence over the past year by leadership and supporters of isil against members of the military and military installations, law enforcement, the u. S. Government and the american public. And were mindful of the more recent call by leaders of isil and other extremis to carry out attacks in the middle of ramadan, which were in right now. So i think its fair for to you conclutd that issuing this kind of joint Information Bulletin is part of our standard operating procedure, but were certainly mindful of the unique environment in advance of this 4th july holiday. We turn now to a country that was recently rocked by terrorism, the country of tunisia. That countrys interior Ministry Tells cnn that the man who gunned down 38 people had ties to a libyan terror group. Lets turn now to our Senior International correspondent Nick Payton Walsh who is live. Good to have you with us. Whats the latest there . Reporter the interior ministry give the first indications exactly who they think the network behind the gunman may have been. Theyre not saying if its al sharia the al qaeda affiliate, that may make more sense, they chose to kill foreigners or whether or not as isis claimed he was working with shoisisis but they say the amateur video shows the cell phone he threw into the sea. Here is the chilling video filmed by what seems to have been a hotel worker after that attack. [ yelling in Foreign Language ] reporter they are unarmed, but still think run towards a gunman whos already killed guests at the hotel where they work. Towards the pool many guests already fled. That last blast, perhaps a sound grenade, one of risky detonators. Equipment that might be a lead to any backers. Hes gone into the hotel lobby, it appears. But perhaps found no more victims. [ loud blast ] [ bleep ]. Reporter he heads back towards the beach, this cafe near the sands. The cameraman runs again, towards him, yet pauses at the bar. Hes seen something. Gun on his shoulder the gunman is strolling back towards the beach. There we see the victims. Their bodies too grewuesome to show. The cameraman keeps low. Why, why, he exclaims. Lives and livelihoods taken here in these golden tourist sands. No longer firing. Is he out of bullets . Or targets . Unwilling to shoot tunisian workers. Still, its those workers who give chase. A head long rush toward possible death. The cameraman sees him throw his phone into the sea. They follow him back to the streets. Those bullets heading towards the cameraman. Perhaps from police some very close. [ gunshots ] reporter its on this road that the gunman met his death. [ shouting in Foreign Language ] reporter was he running towards an accomplice who drove him there . Was he seeking another hotel to continue his rampage . He took those secrets to his grave, yet his last moments captured by one of the many tunisians who risked their lives for foreigners. Now george we are still learning those details about who that gunman was. There are witnesses we spoke to after the attack. They said theyd seen more than 2001 gun one gunman. They say that the gunman worked on his own. They believe he was radicalized online. I know we have just been reporting the belief that he was connected to a libyan terrorist organization. Unclear which one that is. These details are coming through, as is the interior ministrys desire or question immediately two men who are in their early 20s. They released their images online. They say theyre dangerous, and theyre post arere mostly students. They are questioning his roommates. A network it appears, under investigation now as its extent into libya. Unclear if the gunman traveled to libya. They can prove at this stage, it may seem likely or perhaps that radicalism that made him carry out that bloodthirsty act, but its still Early Morning here a coastal resort struggling to digest the enormity of what happened friday noon. George . Senior International CorrespondentNick Payton Walsh, live in tunisia. Thank you for the details and insight, and well stay with you as this Investigation Continues there.

Im george howell. Scorching temperatures and scarce rainfall. Two ingredients that are fueling a wildfire that is tearing through the Pacific Northwest here in the u. S. And you can see what it did to a home as it burned through parts of the city of wenatchee, a town more than two hours east of the city of seattle. It began sunday outside that town and by evening it made its way into the city limits and has caused a lot of damage. The cause of that fire is still unknown. For more on these fires, lets turn to our meteorologist, pedram javaheri. You and i used to live and work in that part of the world, and when these fires get started theyre hard to stop. You see these fires across Eastern Washington frequently but this past weekend, the temperatures absolutely incredible across the western side as well. It was warmer than in miami across south florida. And then you come to the eastern side walla walla it was 113 fahrenheit mid40s celsius. Warmer than phoenix. But the perspective for wenatchee and the concern is that its just not going to cool off much. 2 00 in the morning, the forecast brings it down to 85 degrees, drops to the mid70s by sundown. And the dry pocket where you expect it east of the cascade mountains, humidity in the 40 percentile. But heres the forecast. Notice it is on an upward trend. The sunny skies are there. The chance for rainfall is at a goose egg. So you put this together. Not a good recipe for fire weather. And the forecast for some of the bigger cities as well. Getting up to around 90 degrees and remaining there, while Salt Lake City into the 90s, closing in around 100. Phoenix, right around 110, 111 potentially this parting of ayers and arizona. And the heat not confined to the u. S. In spain, it is around 110 fahrenheit. Another situation we are following, we are learning that japan is raising its alert level after a volcano eruption. What more can you tell us about that . Thats right. This news coming in inside the last hour. Japan wellknown for volcanic activity. And we kind of go in for a closer look. This is hakone. A prime destination for a lot of tourists. Theres a lake across this region, a lot of hiking in this region and the level on a one to five is taken up to a level three. Apartment concern is some evacuations, not placed just yet, but the concern is once you get to level four thats when evacuations occur. They are saying do not approach the volcano under any circumstances, and historically, this area is very very active. This is something were watching near a pretty densely populated area. Well stay close to you as this continues to play out. Pid pedram thank you. This just in. It appears a fire on board a bullet train in japan was caused by suicide. The information is still coming in but an official tells cnn two people were found in cardiac arrest on the train, traveling from tokyo to osaka. Japans public broadcaster nhk say that a man set himself on on fire inside a bathroom. And a woman is suffering from smoke inhalation. In new york captured david sweat is talking to police now about his prison break and his weeks on the run. Meanwhile, the fbi is looking into possible corruption at the prison where sweat and richard matt escaped. Investigators are also looking into alleged Drug Trafficking involving prison workers and inmates. And there is also focus on this man. Prison guard gene palmer is accused of giving matt the froiszen meat containing power tools used to cut through those prison walls. According to the county pros krurt, sweat says palmer did not help them break out. Palmer appeared in court on monday and did not enter a plea. David sweat was shot twice in the torso. Its important that he stays alive so they can learn more about how he broke out of prison. Reporter the prison break supposed to end in mexico instead, david sweat was captured two miles from the Canadian Border after three weeks on the run. Authorities say sweat is talking, saying the plan was for prison employee Joyce Mitchell to pick him and richard matt up and head south. They would kill mitchells husband and get in the car and drive to mexico on the theory that mitchell was in love with one or both of them. Reporter instead, they headed into the woods. Sources tell cnn sweat and matt split up five days ago because matt was slowing sweat down and had become ill. A new York State Police officer out on patrol by himself, spotted sweat wearing camouflage near a barn in the town of constable, new york. He spotted a male who was basically jogging up along the side of the road. He approached him. And as he exited the car, the male turned to him. He says hey come over here. The male kind of ignored him. Reporter the officer pursued sweat on foot repeatedly ordering him to stop. When he refused, the officer opened fire shooting sweat twice in the torso. Sweat was unarmed. Sweat airlifted to a Trauma Center in albany where hes now being treated under heavy guard. He will be basically in 24 7 lockdown for the rest of his life. Reporter residents here taking to the streets in celebration. The nightmare is finally over. It took 22 days.

Moments later, matt armed with a. 20 gauge shotgun was confronted and fatally shot. Alcohol could be smelled on his body. They believe he could be ill from contaminated food or water. There were bug bites and blisters and sweats backpack of supplies led authorities to believe both were living in the woods on the run for 22 days. Miguel marquez, cnn, albany new york.

Tunisias interior Ministry Tells cnn that the man who shot and killed 38 people last week had a connection to a libyan terror group. It is still unclear whether he had ever traveled to libya. Authorities say they have made their first round of arrests in connection with that attack. Capture the convict david sweat is talking to police now about his escape from a new york prison. He was shot and captured on sunday after three weeks on the run. Sweat and fellow escapee richard matt apparently had plans to go to mexico. But switched to canada when their ride backed out. This video in now from japan showing the bullet train where were being told a fire on board was caused by suicide. An official says two people were found in cardiac arrest on the train that was traveling from tokyo to yoe sawqua. Japans public broadcaster, nhk says a man set himself on fire inside a bathroom. At least 20 other people are said to have minor injuries from that fire. Returning now to our top story, it is a pivotal day in the country of greece. A loan payment is due to the imf but will likely not be paid, and its looking like the Prime Minister he rejected terms for bailout and is now calling for a vote on sunday. The president of greeces chamber of commerce calls this referendum a charade. It is impossible for anyone who hasnt started basic economic theory to be able to understand exactly what the question is. And to be quite honest with you, i think were looking towards a charade referendum on sunday simply because the constitution in greece here clearly stipulates that all the ballot papers and the full preparation for the referendum needs to be completed and everything needs to be in place five days before the referendum which is tuesday. Unfortunately, the only thing weve had so far is this complicated question which im sure that a large percentage of the lek tralt would not be able to comprehend. So what about tourism . Tourism is important to greece. But with greeks dealing with this latest turn on the debt crisis what can tourists expect visiting that country . Nina desantos got some answers. Reporter queues at banks in central athens. Scenes like these are the last thing greece wants holiday goers to be watching. Tourism is a key part of the greek economy. Contributing up to one fifth of the countrys income and employing one in five people. But amid the financial turbulence brought about by the collapse of its debt talks. What do holiday makers need to know about their Summer Vacation . First up banks shut money, which money to use is a primary concern. Will euros still be accepted . Even if greece were to leave the euro it wouldnt mean overnight that the euro becomes worthless, so greeces restaurants and bars those will be accepted. Reporter another question people have is should i rely on cash or should i use my credit card . Credit and debit cards will still be accepted but to be on the safe side, do take extra euros and cash to cover emergencies and day to day expenses. Will prices go up or down . Id say if they were to leave, wed see the worst. Euro very bad news if youre a greek. But for a tourist, i dont think so, i think it would be beneficial. Reporter how do the capital controls now in face affect travelers . Its greek nationals that prevent them from moving their savings from greek banks, and they can only take out 60 euros a day. That doesnt apply. If youre a Foreign National you can take out considerably more than that on credit and debit cards. Reporter will i still be able to get around . The greebs have one bright spot its their tourist industry. And they will put every single resource they have to make sure that the planes run, ferries run and the coaches are going. Reporter if i get stranded will my travel insurance cover the costs . The best advice is to check the terms and conditions of your own insurance. And if you havent booked yet, the best option would be to book a package holiday. Its not all doom and gloom. The main message for people thinking of going to greece. Whatever happens, continue with your holiday plans, so i say actually in a funny way, even if they do leave the eureo, this may be the best times to come to greece. And now on the other side of the world, Puerto Rico May soon join greece in defaulting on its debt. The governor is demanding the u. S. Government allow the commonwealth to declare bankruptcy. Currently, only cities towns and municipalitying can do so. Translator we need action now, action so they can continue on chapter nine. Puerto rico owes 73 billion. The governmentrun Energy Company has a debt due on wednesday and is expected to default. U. S. President obama has announced a plan that would make about 5 million more American Workers eligible for overtime pay. He wants to more than double the maximum income a salaried worker could earn and still be eligible for overtime. Businesses argue that plan could kill jobs and that it could hurt the Career Advancement of middleclass workers. The United States and iran have more talks ahead of the nuclear deal. This final round began over the weekend in vienna with john kerry leading with mohammed zarif. There are points of contention as both sides work to achieve an agreement like whether inspectors will have access to sensitive military sites whether sanctions will be lifted immediately and whether those sanctions can be reimposed if iran violates the deal. One of those key sticking points the immediate lifting of sanctions is something a Senior Iranian official says tehran wants but admitted it could take some time. He sat down with Fred Pleitgen to talk about this possible deal. Obviously, the Nuclear Negotiations are in a very diseasedee dee siesive stage. Translator i believe the sanctions must be lifted at once. This is a necessary condition. It might take more time. Both the implementation of restrictions and the execution of lifting the sanctions may take longer but from day one, it must be declared that the sanctions will be lifted. And inspecting our military facilities is a definite red line. Reporter presumably youve already spoken to foreign minister zarif about how the negotiations are going. How confident are you that an agreement can be reached . Translator both sides must show serious will for an agreement, and considering the fact that we have accepted restrictions on our program, we believe the Islamic Republic of iran has done its part. Now its other side that has to make a decision. And the other side, especially the United States, wanting to put on wants to put on a show as they have done in the past as they reneged on deals with iran. Reporter if there is an agreement, could that lead to better reasons with the United States for instance better cooperation in fighting terrorism, fighting isis, and what do you think will be the consequences if this fails . Translator we are witnessing a new atmosphere which includes longterm discussions, longer than ever before. The two Foreign Ministers talked for countless hours and even though this was just about the Nuclear Issue iran considers this a historical test for the United States, because we still do not trust the u. S. At this sensitive juncture, the u. S. Needs to show it wants to bring down this wall of distrust between us. That was Fred Pleitgen interviewing the chairman of the Iranian Foreign policy committee. Now to tunisia. It is still coming to terms with a deadly attack at a beach resort which killed a number of tourists. Cnn spoke with a couple who survived that attack and decided to stay. Reporter the coastline is misleading. It doesnt look like the scene of a massacre. There are still many tourists enjoying this holiday playground. But not here. The beach front of the imperial hotel, this is where most of the 38 victims were killed as the gunman first opened fire on a crowd of people lying in the sun. This patch of sand in front of the hotel is now a somber place. But whats really striking is how contained it is. The gunman would have had a clear field of view. And the people once they realized what was going on, had almost nowhere to run. Few options for escape. Just that narrow get an at the back. And those who were lushcky enough to make it through were followed by the gunman. That gate is now chained and locked. But we allowed in to meet a british couple in tunisia to celebrate their 55th wedding anniversary. They lived through the attack and decided to stay. Were probably about 30 yards, 30 meters away from the gunman which was near enough anyhow. And the, and i was frightened. Reporter what do you remember most about the gunman . All i saw him do was firing. I saw three people laying on the floor. I have no idea now whether they were dead. Reporter they survived by running from this courtyard and hiding in a small room. They know many others werent so fortunate. David says his hardest moment since the attack was visiting the beach. Never having seen people in such a, a terrible emotional turmoil. I say, it wasnt us that was suffering. It was other people that were suffering, and to come to terms with their terror and their grief has taken us a lot of time. Reporter the repettis say staying on feels right. The hotel is now a crime scene, but also a place where survivors are trying to make sense of what happened here. Phil black, cnn, tunisia.

The deadly racially motivated shooting inside a church in Charleston Charleston south carolina, Myrick Thompson has been laid to rest. Her funeral was held in the very building where her life was taken from her. She leaves behind a husband and two children. Thompson was 59 years old. In the wake of that deadly shooting investigators are looking into a series of fires at africanamerican churches in the southern part of the United States. The fires happened at places of worship in north and south carolina, in tennessee, florida and georgia. So far, investigators have found that two of the five fires were intentionally set, but no hate crimes are suspected. Another is believed to have been caused by lightning. Two of the church fires remain under suspicion at this point. Switching now to the u. S. Supreme court. It has made a number of key rulings lately. On monday it upheld the use of controversial drugs for lethal injection in executions. Three death row inmates brought the challenge, arguing they violate the eighth amendment ban on cruel or unusual punishment. They also put on hold a ruling to close abortion clinics in texas. Of the u. S. Supreme court also made samesex marriage legal across all 50 states. Most states that previously banned those marriages said they will respect the ruling but some are pushing back. Jake tapper reports. Reporter the jubilant crowds at pride parades in cities this weekend were hard to miss. Less enthusiastically some stalwart states accepted the decision. Frankly our reaction is one of disappointment. Reporter but a nation that was divided before the ruling is not all rainbows and kiss today. Some say it conflicts with religious freedom and paperwork issue. In mississippi, state Officials Say not so fast. The right to wed will have to wait for a lower courts decision despite approval by the highest court. The new merits are out of step with the majority of mississippians one says. In louisiana, a 25day waiting period is suggested for county clerks before they begin issuing marriage licenses. James caldwell wrote there is not a legal requirement for his state to issue them. In alabama samesex couples are tying the knot in montgomery but in some Rural Counties licenses have been halted for all couples, the only way around the Supreme Courts decree. Voters across the country have repeatedly rejected samesex marriage. But courts have ruled in the opposite direction and polls indicate that there has been a sea change in Public Opinion on the issue in recent years. Right now more people are in support of samesex marriage than the percentage of people who voted for reagan in 1984. Reporter professor powell has been studying trends for years, and he predicting push back will not last long. Today people who in mississippi and louisiana, in the south where opposition is still the greatest their support for samesex marriage is on par, where other states were just a few years ago. Reporter many holdout counties and clerks are putting religious Liberty Front and center. In texas, the attorney general has told officials they do not have to uphold the new Supreme Court ruling, writing that the reach of the courts opinion stops at the door of the First Amendment and our laws protecting religious liberty. In Harris County texas friday the clerk says he didnt have the proper forms. If you look at the current form it says man and woman on the side of it, and it has fields that are specific to maiden names. Reporter debate is what will lead to more acceptance of it he says. Whats happened is people are basically getting used to the idea. And then theyre getting more comfortable with the idea. So theyre shifting their views from why should that happen to why not. Reporter jake tapper cnn, washington. It was a historic moment in the United States, that Supreme Court ruling on samesex marriage a hot button issue in politics and with the 2016 president ial election around corner candidates are weighing in. You can see what theyre saying on our website, cnn. Com. See how theyre sounding off. Youre watching cnn newsroom.
