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 ServiceCommittee 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.

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 CarolinaSenate 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 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.

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.
