Of i. S. I. L. Catching up with a convicted spy after six months of freedom. His controversial release a key to restoring ties between the United States and cuba and welcome to Al Jazeera America im tony harris in tonight for antonio mora. We begin in greece where in less that 48 hours voters will decide whether to accept the terms of an international bailout, or face exit from the eurozone. Today clashes erupted between police and demonstrators in athens. It came while thousands were attending rallies ahead of the austerity referendum. Prime minister Alexis Tsipras appealing to greek voters to relate the plan. European leaders say a no vote would certainly push greece out of the eurozone. Sundays vote is crucial to rejuvenating greeces stagnate economy. Banks are closed. People are finding it harder to get food and medicine. Jonah hull explains why greeks are so divided. Reporter the word olli means no. The no campaign gathered in front of parliament backed by the government wants a future in europe, but with a better deal for greece less austerity, less money lost to debt repayments. A no vote for me means theres a possibility that this country will have a future. Not far away the yes crowd met in greek. They are for a bailout, and quickly, one that will allow the banks to reopen. We are here to show that we want to be european citizens and if possible return to drachma would be a total disaster. Sundays referendum called unconstitutional by some and a dangerous gamble is the next act in a drama already five years old. The conclusion has never been less certain. The no vote will write history. Our people will move on. Within a europe of democracy and solidarity. The left wing Prime Minister believes a no vote will strengthen greeces hand in future negotiations a National Mandate to demand more for less. A yes vote effect would be a no to him and his party. Actually, many people are voting yes, are voting against counter government. Definitely a yes vote continues with the membership of euro. What strikes me about the two sides, the yes and no camps is not just the strength with which they are willing to defend their position but the way they illustrate a division in greeks society, one driven deeper this week, between the largely middle class voters of the yes camp willing to sign the country up to more austerity measures to defend what they have got, and many here workers, with no jobs little or nothing left to lose. A no vote for the workers and the young people in greece says that we have to stop the negotiations with the European Union, take our lives back and fight for our money, jobs and democracy. We are not enemies with the other party, of the yes. I have friends belonging to yes. Tomorrow they will still be my friends. On this square where greeks so often demonstrated anger in the past the no crowd stand with the government of the day. If they win on sunday there is not one person here who truly nose what will happen next and earlier i spoke with dmitri a political analyst and director of bridging europe thats a think tank committed to the advancement of Youth Leadership in europe. I asked him how the referendum will go on sunday . Well there has been many surveys and polls in the media lately, this couple of days, with no gear outcome for the referendum. The latest was before the national rally, tugging that it was no and the option no was around 60 , and option yes was around 40 . On top of that i think that after the release of the i m. S. Report yesterday, i think things are clear, which is that well have a big no on sunday and the Prime Minister will have the chance to identify the negotiations. So let me stop you there. You think therell be a big no vote. What would that mean for greece . What would that mean for the government . Well, i think that as the Prime Minister said a couple of days before a big no will strengthen the voice of the government in the eurozone. Im not sure if this will have a direct effect or it will influence the behaviour or the stance of the creators but its certain that it will solidify the position of the government. So budgets are out of whack, they have been out of whack for four years. Pensioners are taking more out of the system than they put into the system. How does this ultimately end . Well, paradoxically, it was the first time that you have controls in greece and second member state where we have captive controls. The greek people behave in a calm way. I couldnt expect Something Like that, because greeks are quite tempered, as you may have heard, but i think that so far things are good. I was thinking that as we go on towards the referendum that the debate will be intensified by the other side by the yes camp but so far i havent seep Something Like that doesnt a no vote mean no to the euro . Not at all. Definitely not. No means yes, actually to a different kind of negotiation, which means that the creators have to come closer to the demand of the greek government. I dont know if this is possible. Greece has to deal with 18 more Member States of the eurozone and generally theres a feeling it may last as long as Angela Merkel is steady in her position. A threshold section, is greeces exit from the euro inevitable . Well i will say yes. If negotiations keep going like that, if we reach another series of deadlock in the in the week or the weeks that will come i am sure that we the government will be in front of such a big dilemma. Theres a small door of hope which means that the government can go back and renegotiate any debt cut for greece. In exchange for a big third bailout plan. Good to talk to you. Thank you for your time. The deadlines to reach a deal to limit the Nuclear Programme is approaching. One of the top officials together to the internet to deliver a cautious message. Foreign minister Mohammad Javad zarif said the p5 1 have never been closer to a deal and cooperation, not sanctions could lead to a deal. Meanwhile u. S. Officials say that talks could run past this tuesdays deadline. James bays is in vienna with the latest. Reporter negotiators have been working around the clock. We understand there was one meeting with the lead u. S. Negotiator, the lead e. U. Negotiator, and two Deputy Foreign ministers of iran that wept on until 3am. Some of the Foreign Ministers here on thursday left european Foreign Ministers and the chinese Foreign Ministers, but the words of the French Foreign minister is significant. He said that he will be back with his colleagues on sunday evening, and what we are hearing is its likely that the Foreign Ministers from the p5 1 the six countries negotiating with iran will probably stay here from sunday working through, trying to get a deal. Remember, the interim deal has been extended only until tuesday, so time here is running out. Certainly the european diplomats, dont see prospects for negotiation. We are in the final part of this long process of negotiation to try to find a deal a deal for 10 years, and dealing with iran and making sure that their aime is iran has a civilian Nuclear Programme.

L. Good to have you on the programme. You have done some fighting in libya. Do you feel an affinity for someone like Reece Harding who went to fight i. S. I. L. And gave his live . Sure as a former fighter and likely to be fighting in the future sure i understand the motivations, and what is takes to leave your home and go overseas. Its unfortunate that he died he died a good death. What was your motivation for fighting in libya . I spent several years in north africa i saw the effects of authoritarianism i had good friends. It was personal to fight there. How did you come to train Iraqi Christians to fight i. S. I. L. . Well, after fighting in libya, i went on to support the syrian revolution. I did some work in syria, and following the deaths of my friends, james foley, and sotloff i turned my attention to i. S. I. S. I had good contacts in iraq living there in the past. And the u. S. Veteran community. I put them together and formed a Contracting Firm to provide free training to forces fighting i. S. I. S. How is it going . Its going well we have trained 330 iraqians. We provided three Training Programs for them and we do them at no cost to taxpayers, funded by the public. We are giving people the opportunity to be part of a fight against i. S. I. S. They can go to the website, make a contribution. We had over 500 volunteers who want to be trainers most u. S. Military veterans. Reece Hardings Group didnt have much if any, military training, im curious as to how much real military training you had before going in to libya and what is it that you are offering in terms of real professional training to Iraqi Christians . Before fighting in libya i had no formal military training. I had shot weapons before i shot weapons at the range with u. S. Soldiers. No formal experience. All my experience was combat. As far as the training that we do, i run the company. I do advising and consulting for the leadership of militias but mostly i dont do the training i bring in trainers the recent course was taught by a west point instruct juror, a lot of people were former green beret, who express a dire to train iraqis. We have qualified personnel that we recruit. I participate in training i dont lead it. Give us a sense of what is happening on the ground. Why is its inry necessary . The iraqi army is better runners than fighting. The Iraqi Community has high moral, eager to fight and train. They study what we teach them. Ask to get up early and do physical training. This is the things we dont find. They have the qualities and apt attitudes to be an Incredible Fighting force. What is your take on this. Reece harding says the west was not going enough. Do you have a few on this. Its right, the rest is not doing enough. The iraqis get no support from the west its astonishing. They have been abandoned by the western world. Its tragic. But people on the ground will have to handle this with or without western support. Hopefully it increases. Threat theres air support. Thats making a huge difference in the fight.
