From which they have escaped. And the culture in the inca roads 500 years after it was first lady down. Well have all the latest from wimbledon as the defending womens champion is knocked out. And its heating up in santiago as chile plays in copa america for the first time. Well, tunisias president has announced a state of emergency just over a week after an armed attack on foreign tourists. He has given powers to the government with the ability to move people, prohibit strikes and demonstrations. There have also been sackings of senior officials. Announcing the emergency measures to the nation the president said tunisia is now in a state of war. The Islamic State carries a flag and wants to establish a caliphate. There is no country in our region or in europe that is free from tourism today. The state of emergency announced comes a week after the beach massacre. 38 tourists died. 30 of them from britain. Theyll hand the army and police more authority. Also restricts the right of public assembly. The state of emergency is being brought into force as a Tunisian Security forces continue to track down other militants involved in organizing and coordinating the attack. The suspect interviewed by police said that the gunmen was just one member of the sleeper cell. Part of a network that is believed to stretch from london, tunisia and on to libya. The president has openly criticized the Security Forces in their delay in responding to the shootings and has made the public promise to guarantee the safety of future visitors to tunisia. A state of emergency is something that is quite legitimate to impose in such a situation. The problem is that the state of emergency in such a new and young democracy is a double edged sword. It is going to a certain extent the dangers and threat of terrorism, also it is going to advocate a return to the police state that we had before 2011. The declaration of the state of emergency comes on day the last much britains 30 dead from finally flown home. Now my colleague was in tunisia covers events there. Shes back with me here in the london studio. We not only have a state of emergency but we have Immediate Reaction from those officials who seem to be responsible to what led to this and what happened. As far as we know the government it is hasthe members of the government has been sacked. Its failure to secure the country, but also in the crucial moments during and after the attacks why does it take so long for the police to get there and what exactly are they doing now about it. Tunisia is your home as well as a place from which youve reported. When you hear of state of emergencies going on in, and you know how much the country depends on tourism does your heart sink . Its worrying for tunisians. Especially those who were concerned before the revolution where the president had a lot of power then. This state state of emergency does not go beyond the revolution but it does give the police, the army, the president governors so much power to stop strikes, to stop any sort of assembly and confiscate equipment and crucially monitor and possibly close down media that they deem to be a threat to security as well. So in some ways people might be concerned in a this is going back to the old ways, the old power. But at the same time they have made it very clear that tunisia is one attack away from total collapse. And of course, in the old days before the revolution there were still tourist who is went to tunisia. State of emergency does not necessarily put them off. It is a recognition that things cannot continue as they are. And i think most tunisians would accept that this tourist season is over now. Theyre looking ahead to next years tourist season. People have stopped their bookings. Theyre not coming to tunisia this summer. Theyve accepted that. Theyre trying to bring a sense of stability. This is not just about security. This is economic and social as well. So there are strikes that are grinding the Tourism Industry to a stop costing the government hundreds of millions of dollars a day. The country is on a brink of collapse economically. It needs the investment it needs not only security but to be capitalized. These people who have been radicalized because of the Economic Situation in libya but also because of outside influences citing broken down government in neighboring libya. What will they do now . Perhaps with other means at their disposal to prevent people from coming in, and prevent people from becoming radicalized radicalized. Already the government is preventing tramp to places like libya and traveling to places like istanbul. So already there was a clamp down on young men traveling abroad. But it has come too late. There are thousands of tunisians who are fighting in groups in iraq syria and libya right now. A lot of them have come back. Theyre very well trained. The man who carrieds out the attack was trained in libya. So were the two who carrieds out the attacks in march. They were all trained in libya and they could be preparing for the next potential attacks. Thank you. Now to other world news. The greek finance minister said that International Creditors are trying to terrorize the greek people into accepting more austerity. He said this is in final preparation for sundays bail out referendums. Voters having to decide yes or no whether or not to accept the proposal. From the International Lenders who are owed billions of euros. One of our team known gentleman hullteam jonah hull, this is what he has. After three years working at this hotel, she was fired. This is not a job it is family. Many of her generation are trying to make sense of the sundays referendum. I feel sad because i see our society flit split in two. Some say yes and some very loudly say no. Thats not right. We know for sure the fall out of a yes vote will be the situation worse than we had before. And by saying no there is the fear of uncertainty. We dont know what will happen the next day or how we will deal with it. Marcus is a graduate economist who knows hell be voting yet but admits the choice isnt an easy one. I think that is a yes is probably a last chance to bring sanity back to the table. And no, what do you think that will bring . You know what, our government is saying theyre going to go back and sign a deal. I highly doubt that. I dont see that. Marcus and olga are among a generation that did nothing to cause their countrys problems, but must some how carve a future out of the confusion and uncertainty. Sundays referendum is being portrayed by politicians in brussels and much of europes media as a contest of pro and antigovernment antieuro but thats not the case. Make no mistake, an overwhelming number of greeks on both sides of the question do want this country to remain inside the eurozone. But time is not on their side. Within days businesses will start to shutdown and banks themselves will collapse. There will be shortages of Food Supplies and pharmaceuticals. I believe we can make a future in this country because greece gives us hope. It gives us faith. All the young people, my generation, we have our dreams. I dont think any one of us will stop dreaming. In the end whether the euro goes on or the drachma returns hope is one greek currency more valuable than any other. Al jazeera athens. And join sporopolous live. For once put away the scales of impartiality. And tell us what it feels like. Does it feel like greece is on the brink of something extraordinary which ever way it goes . Well, let me put it this way i came home very late the other night and had a conversation with my mother, who remembers the civil war. 194649 fought in this country between the resistence to German Occupation which had been predominantly communist, and then after the departure of the germany occupation attempted to seize power by force. I said to her what do you think of the novote which would strengthen the ruling left wing in the government. She said i dont know. I greatly fear another civil war. I remember that they did terrible things last time around. She remembers when her local Police Station was besieged by the communist forces. The young policemen inside were convinced that if they walked out and surrendered the property their lives would be spared. Instead they were taken to a mountaintop to my left on the outskirts of athens and their throats were cut using food cans opened tins. This is the sort of brutality greece remembers from the civil war. Its been a taboo subject for many days because it split families apart. It split the entire country. This is the first time that the left wing has been in power and it was the last time that it made a serious bid for power. People have been connecting the divisive events much 19th of 1946 to 1949. People are wondering if people have made such an violent unsuccessful bid to power has now come to it with a great thirst and are capable of wielding it in a way that unites the country rather than divides if. Polarization, john, i think thats what were looking at here. Which ever way it goes. But tell me about the practicalities now. If it is a yes vote, if the greeks decide to go against their government and say yes okay, we will accept the austerity plans, etc. , etc. The greek Prime Minister follows up with the suggestion that he and his finance minister may well quit, the government folds. What happens . Where does that leave greece . Well, anything can happen this week. The entire country has been in hiatus for the last seven days because banks have been closed. Businesses have been semi operational, and a lot of them have sent people home for several days. Now we are in a political hiatus as well. We dont know if the same government will be in office by monday night. We dont know whether greeces creditors will extend any kind of offer, financial assistance, a cash flow reform sort of program like the ones that greece has been dependent on since 2010. Everything at the moment is up in the air. The degree of uncertainty is such that a lot of people are going out and stocking up on food. The accountant i spoke to earlier today said im afraid of the no vote, but then again i know if we vote yes to this package of austerity measures none of my clients can possibly survive them. Impossible she said. 100 of next years tax income paid in advance this year in addition to the current years tax income, thats one of the measures on the austerity package going up for the ref ran dumb tomorrow. And nobody can possibly do these things. The best Case Scenario here is that the greeks can ultimately come to a deal that they cant fully honor and only pa partiallyonly partially honor. You so very close now. Thank you john sporopolous in the greece capital. Coming up a nuclear deal well report on what stage theyre at. And ive come to guyana to see how decades of tension has shaped this nations politics. We have tennis and another major shock at wimbledon, and were talking big time. Youll be here with us. Egypt president fattah elsisi has been up to see his troops in the Sinai Peninsula after some of the bloodiest fighting that has taken place there in years. Isil had launched an attack on the region using suicidebombers. They also laid siege to a Police Station. The army said at least 17 soldiers and 100 fighters were killed. Palestinian authorities warning hamas it is likely to make more arrests in the opened west bank. Hamas is demanding the release of 100 activists to take the overnight raid on thursday. We have reports from gaza. Hamas said that the raids are politically motivated. The signs read tray fors and save the west bank. This protest was organized by hamas leaders shortly after it was announced 100 supporters had been arrested in the occupied west bank. Hamas which controls the gaza strip reacted angryily and called them politically motivated. Thethe convinces of the crackdown and to free our prisoners. There hasnt been a security crackdown on hamas supporters since 2007 when hamas seized power in gaza. That sparked years of Bitter Division between the two political factions with fattah mostly combined to the west bank and hamas in control of gaza. Differences were put aside a year ago with the formation of the National Consensus government. A government which by most accounts has been a failure because it has not been able to make any major decisions. The timing of the arrest call into question Mahmood Abbas attempts to hold together the National Consensus government, which includes his fattah party and hamas a government on the verge of collapse for months, and why many here believe that the crackdown is politically motivated. One of the hamas supporters who was arrested. She said that its especially painful during the holy month of ramadan. Last ramadan he was in an israeli prison. This ramadan he is in a palestinian jail. It is hard when a fellow countryman puts chains on your sons hands. This latest crackdown on hamas has been building for months. On wednesday after an operation lasting weeks the Israeli Military announced the arrest of around 40 hamas supporters for allegedly planning attacks on israel. Security officials have warned of more arrests to come soon. The arrests are relateed to civil peace and security. Whatever the case the arrests will only deepen the political crisis between hamas and the pa. Al jazeera gaza. The Saudiled Coalition has launched more airstrikes against Houthi Rebels in sanaa.

The lucky ones a have made it to neighboring countries but many are stranded. The only hope is an end to the fighting. The United Nations said that the investigation into claims that iran secretly developed Nuclear Weapons could be over by the end of this year if tehran cooperates. Our diplomatic editor james bays has more from vienna. It wants to know how they got the know how and components for the nuclear program. These issues are slowly related for the talks ongoing in vienna. Its clear both sides are now looking at how to sell the deal. Thats why i think it was in the interest of both the irans and the p5 1 for the iaea chief to make this public statement. I think we can issue a report by the end of the year on the assessment of the issues related to the military dimension. Once an agreement is reached on the comprehensive plan of action, the iaea is ready to implement the nuclearrelated element when requested.
