Defense on i. S. I. L. On the urban front lines in baghdad. And im at the home of n. A. S. C. A. R. Racing where fans have been asked not to display the Confederate Flag. Many ignore it i tell you why. And well be live in santiago, where chile is playing in the time and live from wimbledon where the defending womens champion is going home. We start in tunisia where the president declared a state of emergency a week after the killing of 38 Foreign Tourists at a beach resort. The president says tunisia is not safe from further attacks, and the state of emergency is needed to avoid the risk of collapse. The tourist industry suffered badly since the murders, and the economic impct could be more than half a billion. 30 that died were british, and more of them have returned to the roouk. Peter sharp reports. Reporter the president says tunisia is now in a state of war. Translation the Islamic State carries a black flag and wants to have a caliphate. Tunisia deserves international support, there is no country immune to terrorism. Reporter the current state of emergency comes a week after the beach massacre at the resort of sousse. 38 tourists died, 30 holiday makers from britain. The emergency legislation will give the government more flexibility and will hand the army and police more authority, and restricts the right of public assembly. The state of emergency is brought into force as the Tunisian Security forces track other militants involved in organising and coordinating the attack. A suspect interviewed by the police said the gunmen was one member of a sleeper cell part of a network stretched from london to tunisia. The president openly criticised security for their delay in responding to the shootings, and made a promise on friday to guarantee the safety of future visitors to tunisia. Theres a big venture facing tunisia, and a state of emergency is something that is legitimate. The problem is that state of emergency in such new and young democracy is a double edged sword. It is going to stop the threat of terrorism, and advocate return to terrorism and the police state we had before 2011. Reporter the declaration of a state of emergency comes on a day, the last of britains 30 dead were flown home. This is not the first time tunisia has been under a state of emergency, one was declared in 2011, following the toppling of ben ali and remained in place until 2014. It gives exceptional powers of the government including the control of movement of people and vehicles banning demonstrations and the authority of ordering house arrest of any person considered a danger. It gives officials the power to control the press, radio and terrorism. With semi a reporter normally based in tunisia. How will tunisians feel about having another state of emergency imposed. I think therell be mixed feelings. A lot of people will want to feel safer and will see it as a positive move against those preaching hate and those runs the networks exporting fighters to syria, libya and iraq and clampdown on the security situations and put more police and army on the streets. On the other handsome will worry it will lead to an abuse of power. Going back to a police state that the tunisians tried hard to get away from. Theyll be worried that that will lead to some people being radicalized. Another interesting part of his speech was the fact that he talked about unity, trying to bring the country together. How divided a tunisia. He spoke. This is one of the first times i heard him speak clearly about the divides in tunisia. We are talking about developments on coastal regions like sousse where there are big hotels, jobs and fun brie. Like where the revolution started. Two of the attackers at bardo came from those parts of the country. There is definitely a division there that is creating problems that needs to be dealt with. There has been so many promise about development in the areas, so far no government fulfilled the promises. Thank you. Now, it is decision day in greece. In eight hours time polls will open as greek Voters Decide whether or not to accept a bailout put together by lenders owed billions in euros. Final votes are under way. It gets under way 7am local time, and with preliminary results expected the same eving. The polls evening the the polls suggest the final result is too close to call. Voters in greece spit on the referendum the Younger Generation feels bitterness that a debt problem has fallen into their laps caused before they were born. Reporter i meet olga outside the hotel where she worked until it shut down a week ago, and she was fired. For three years here, its a family its not a joke. Olga like many of her generation, is struggling to make sense of her countrys sudden referendum. Translation i feel sad because i see our society split in two. Some say yes, and some loudly say no. Thats not right. We know for sure that the fall out of a yes vote is a situation worse than before. By saying no theres the fear of uncertainty. We dont know what will happen the next day, or how we will deal with it. Markus is a graduate economist who knows hell vote yes, but admits the choice is not an easy one. So i think a yes is the last chance to bring sanity back to the table. And a no what will that bring . You know our government claims na within 48 hours after a know they are going bark, and will go going back and will go back and sign a deal. I doubt that. I cant see the credibility, it has been lost from both sides. Markus and olga are among a generation to cause problems. But must carve is future out of uncertainty. The referendum is being portrayed as a contest between pro and antieurope forces in greece. That is not the case. Yes, its an overworded question about lending that expiffed last week expired last week that dont exist, and could turn out to be a referred oum on the referendum on the future of this government. An over welcoming question do you want the country to remain in the eurozone. Time is not in their side. Within days if the bank closure persists businesses will shut down, banks could collapse, and therell be shortages of Food Supplies and pharmaceuticals. I believe we can make a future in this country because greece gives us hope and faith. All the young people my generation, we have our dreams i dont think any one of us will stop dreaming. In the end, where the euro goes on or the drachma returns, hope is a currency more valuable than any other and with me in the studio is a greek journalist. Thank you for coming in to al jazeera. If greece votes yes, the Prime Minister and fin minister said theyd resign if its going to be close, polls suggest it will be narrow and if its a narrow victory, might they try to stay on . I dont think so. It was clear, especially a couple of days ago, that if people vote yes, i will quit. If theres a yes with one vote it means a victory. Or we have to wait. Ment Prime Minister said more or less the same time. If theres a couple of votes, if its no. The greek government will have a serious issue to remain in power. We have a mandate, but i think most likely we go for elections. I cannot see them staying power. This is my view. No one knows. Thats the problem. Whether they vote yes or no. They dont know what will happen next. As leaders suggest, but the greek government said no that doesnt necessarily follow. Practically speaking theres not a law. European union, to push yeses out of the eurozone. Most of them said if theres a way in the e. U. Theyll find a way as well meaning that if the European Central bank stops helping the greek banks, that automatically it means theyll want to issue their own currency drachma in order to pay all the. Some of the people believe it. If you vote no they will be caused to go out of the e. U. Otherwise, no. They the risk is too big. If you see the market you will see that the europeans have lost a lot. So again, the feeling is half and half. Its a confusing time. Thats right. We appreciate you coming in explaining that do you. Still to come on the programme, the yemeni Family Living in a disused school in the capital. Which is better than the violence they scoped plus. I have come to see tension between indian and other communities shaping politics.

This protest was organised before hamas leaders before it was announced that more than 100 supporters had been arrested in the occupied west bank. Hamas reacted angrily to the arrest calling them politic lick motivated politically motivated. Therell be consequences for the arrests, if will not weaken hamas, we encourage them to stop the crackdown and free our prisoners. Reporter there hasnt been a crackdown on this scale since 2006, when hamas seized power in gaza sparking years of Bitter Division between the two main palestinian factions with fatah confined to the west bank and hamas in control of gaza. In a rare sign of hope differences were put aside with the formation of a consensus government, a government which is a failure because it hasnt made major decisions. The timing of the arrests calls into question the Palestinians Holding in effect the government, including fatah and hamas, a government on the verge of collapse and why some believe the crackdown is politically motivated. This womans second was arrested, and she says its painful during the holy month of ramadan. Translation last ramadan he was in an israeli prison this ramadan, hes in a palestinian gaol. Its hard when a fellow countryman puts chains on your hands. Reporter this crackdown has been building for months on wednesday, the Israeli Military announced the arrest of 40 supporters. Palestinians warned of more rests to come soon. The arrests are related to still peace and security our priority is the palestinian interest and that is to maintain civil peace and security.

When one party wins one win bs, once you govern that way, the other groups are left out of the process. We form the african guyanese and we were left out of the political and economic processes.
