1:04 am
been charged with destroying evidence and helping them escape. palmer provided them tools with exchange for information. a person briefed on the inquiry says they have been gathering information on the cabins and fields for a year before they broke out. happening this morning. the brink of financial collapse with global implications. greece declared a week long bank closure and limits on atm withdraws. these drastic measures have led to long lines at cash machines. as we speak, greece is spiraling toward default on debt. this could come as soon as tomorrow. the whole world, folks, watching this. the ultimate consequence is the greece's exit from the eurozone.
1:05 am
something no country has ever done. i cannot stress this, this has implications for your 401(k). let's go to isa suarez live in athens. isa. >> reporter: good morning, john christine. it seems like a normal monday. tourists walking past and people stopping to grab a bite of bread. if you look behind my shoulder, you see, john, the shutters to the banks. banks closed until next monday. referendums expected in an hour or so. we saw queues yesterday of people taking out money. that is roughly $66 a day. tourists will be able to get more than $66 a day. they can take as much as they want as long as their debit card is not from greece.
1:06 am
many people here telling me they are angry. they are furious. also there is a sense of weariness and pride. many people believe the government has done the right thing and saying no to austerity. saying no to more pension cuts and saying no to a rise in the v.a.t. that is why a lot of people will take to the streets tonight in support of the government. the government interestingly enough has been calling for no proposals by the eu. as you mentioned, tomorrow on tuesday, the imf deadline payout. the same day, the whole bailout of greece program ends tomorrow. still hopes the talks may happen in the next 48 hours or so between greek government and europe. people pinning hopes on that.
1:07 am
today is pension day. in the next couple hours, we will expect pensioners to go to banks. some banks, we hear may open so they can pay pensioners. pensioners do not have debit cards. spare a thought for the rest of greece and remote parts of the country with no access to atms. >> this will get more difficult before it gets easier. christine romans with a question. >> a lot of people from the outside say it looks greece's big issue is the prime minister's domestic politics is why he is refusing or walked away from the negotiating table with the europeans. if they don't make that payment or more concessions doesn't he face a worse outcome from the greek people than what they see already? >> reporter: absolutely.
1:08 am
no doubt. less money coming in. the economy will -- the economy will go deeper into recession, christine. what he is saying what we have been through in last five years, the misery the country has gone through cannot are worse than what we go through if we didn't sign up for the proposals. that has been his talk all along. he has the mandate to push back the proposals to say no to austerity austerity. this is a high stakes political game. i was here last week. i was here at the beginning of the election and covering his passionate speech beginning of january. people really believing, until last week he will reach a deal. perhaps not so much in the next 48 hours, but people still believe that even if greece leaves euro many don't want to
1:09 am
many believe that they cannot endure more misery. note christine, referendum on sunday we do not know the rest referendum. the majority of people will say no. that is what we are hearing. if he says do you want more austerity, 50% say they do. a mixed emotion. >> it is an impossible situation. isa suarez, thank you. you have an ugly day for stocks. european shares are plunging. the crisis in greece intensifying. paris is down 4%. you have banks closed and a member of the european union. banks closed and potential of default of the debt expected tomorrow from the member of the european union, that is a big deal. asian shares down sharply.
1:10 am
a different story. invest ors pulling out rapidly. a bear market for china. down 20%. here in the united states stocks futures are diving. the greek crisis is spreading around the world. it is 2% of europe's economy. also puerto rico is dangerously close to default. puerto rico. its governor says the island is near a quote death spiral. it is unable to pay its debts. the economy is shrinking. the economy in puerto rico has been in trouble in years. many have left the island to look for work elsewhere. now looking for help from creditors and extending repayment schedule. puerto rico in the backyard of the united states having difficulty. greece having difficulty. there are people who look at detroit and greece and puerto rico and they see this theme around the world of governments
1:11 am
that promised too much to their pensioners and haven't been setting enough money aside to pay them. that is a chrisrisis. >> that country on the brink of collapse. deadline. the world powers are extending the nuclear powers. john kerry met with the financial ministers on saturday and sunday. he says there is still work to do. a senior official says any extension will last a few days. our senior correspondent nic robertson is in vienna. good morning, nic. >> reporter: good morning, john. that is the hope that the foreign minister in tehran is back here tomorrow. the deadline clearly cannot be hit, but a hope and aspiration that the gaps can be closed over
1:12 am
a couple of days. why are the gaps suddenly opened? you had three months ago an agreement in switzerland that was supposed to provide a stepping stone to the final agreement right now. what happened in the past week the supreme leader of iran declared a new set of red lines for iran which rolled back the agreement. the agreement which said atomic international agency the nuclear watch dog would have access to sites in iran to verify the deal. the supreme leader in iran said that is not on. he said he did not agree to the limits on the iran nuclear research and development part of the deal and issues about sanctions. he wants them lifted immediately. all of these were things that were understood as part of the negotiations three months ago. that is part of the gaps. the foreign minister went back to tehran last night.

the world this morning. all eyes on greece this morning. time running out to reach a deal with iran. leaders expected to miss a deadline pastfast approaching. welcome back to "early start." i'm christine romans. >> i'm john berman. 29 minutes past the hour. new york prison escapee david sweat is in critical condition. the manhunt is now over. the other convicted killer was shot and killed on friday. the crowd cheered. new york governor andrew cuomo announced the nightmare is finally over. >> today ends with good news. these were really dangerous, dangerous men. both matt and sweat.
1:30 am
they were killers. mr. matt killed at least two people. mr. sweat killed a sheriff's deputy in broom county in a savage way. we could not tolerate them being on the loose. >> cnn's alexandra field has the latest. >> reporter: christine, john, a trooper hailed as a hero by governor cuomo. the fugitive on the run after three weeks after breaking out of prison. sergeant jay cook alone on the patrol when he spotted someone in the town of constable, two miles south of the canadian border. cook approached sweat and he took off running to the tree line. at that point, sergeant cook fired twice and striking in the torso. sweat has been taken to albany
1:31 am
medical center. he was unarmed. he was found in a spot 16 miles north of the place where richard matt was killed by a team two days earlier. no word from investigators on when sweat and matt may have broken apart and whether or not sweat was with richard matt at the time he was shot and killed. thank you. in dannemora, new york, cheers. they breathed sighs of relief after triple check locks and so many slept with a gun. as for david sweat, his life will change permanently. gene palmer appears in court today charged with misconduct and destroying evidence and helping matt and sweat escaped. he provided them with tools in
1:32 am
exchange for information. he is now the subject of the investigation. investigators think sweat and matt have been gathering information on cabins and fields around the prison for a year before they broke out. breaking news this morning. stocks tumbling around the world because greece is on the verge of financial collapse. shares are plunging. paris is down 3.4%. that is a big move for one morning. futures are sinking here. greece is closing banks for is seven days. it is rare. it shows you just how dangerous it is there. citizens can only withdraw 60 euro from atms. that is leading to long lines at cash machines. greece spirals to default. a payment is due tomorrow. greece could be forced to leave
1:33 am
the euro. something no country has ever done. for the latest on the efforts to keep that from happening, let's turn to isa suarez live on the ground for us. what are officials doing to prevent the collapse of the economy and exit from the euro at this point? >> reporter: good morning, christine. we heard from the chief last night. it was three minutes or so. he asked for composure and patience saying the government was doing all it could in their power to make sure the money kept flowing. he paid pensions are secure and deposits are safe. that's what he said. as we note those controls have been put in place. the european central bank said it would knowno longer provide that to banks. that means the capital controls
1:34 am
have been put in police. that means in less than an hour we were expecting atms to open. banks behind me closed. atms will open. people will be allowed to take out of 060 euro a day. we are expecting pensioners to go to banks. a couple of banks, we are told will be open. these are just reports. pensioners will take out cash. many do not have debit cards. harsh reality for three people waking up this morning. >> over the past five years, isa, a 30% pay cut. inflation has been going up. lines at atm machines and gas stations. the prime minister will put to the people a referendum about what they will do in terms of the bailout with the ecb?
1:35 am
>> reporter: correct, christine. we do not know what that question will be. what question will be put. we are hearing the question will be do you accept the proposals that are put through by europe. we do not know the exact language. a lot of people do not want more austerity. when greeks are asked, 75% say yes they want to stay in the euro. interesting to see today as people take to the streets for a pro government anti-terrorist protest later on how the mood has changed now. the capital controls are in place. this brings greece deeper into recession. we have unemployment at 27%. we have got youth unemployment at 55%. 50% of households depend on pensions as the only source of income. to give you a sense of how dire things are here. >> isa suarez thank you. john you cannot overstate how
1:36 am
difficult this is right now for the greek people. why is the rest of the world that is worried over 2% of the euro economy. we have never seen a country leave the euro. it can be -- >> china's economy is rocked. puerto rico close to default or other reasons. we have not seen a week like this for some time. stay tuned. brace yourself for rocky times. happening now as well. deadline extended. the united states and iran and world powers working on the assumption that the nuclear talks could go beyond june 30th. john kerry met with other leaders saturday and sunday. the secretary says he is hopeful of an agreement, but still work to do. a senior american official says the talks extended a few days. let's get the latest from nic
1:37 am
robertson. good morning nic. >> reporter: good morning, john. one person not on the ground is the iranian foreign prisoner. he is due to come back on tuesday. that is why the deadline looks unlikely. what caused this? the past couple of years has been about achieving this deadline. there was a meeting back of the leaders back in april in switzerland. the agreement they made there gave the stepping stones in the outline. the supreme leader in iran decided he had new red lines to rollback that agreement. he was no longer satisfied with the idea nuclear inspectors could visit sites of choosing in iran. that he wasn't happy that iran's research and development could be extended 10 to 12 years in an
1:38 am
agreement. the position that was detailed in that agreement said these weapons inspectors could have access to sites in iran and research would be extended and sanctions could be put back in place. these are the gaps that led to the reason that why over the weekend, secretary kerry had five hours of meetings with the foreign minister. the french foreign minister and eu foreign policy chief and russian foreign ministry all came here. the message is the same. what you are saying now is changing the landscape. we need to talk about this. the gaps are big. the hope is when the iranian foreign minister gets back there will be a deal.
1:39 am
it is still not clear, john. >> just aspiration at this point. nic, thanks. the supreme court set to issue more rulings days after the same-sex marriage law of the land. fallout from the field of candidates vying for president. sunlen serfaty has more from the white house. >> reporter: good morning, john and christine. all opposed to the ruling, but divide over how to proceed. some want to push for constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. others say let's move on and are pushing the idea of protecting religious liberty. there has been limbo in the day since the ruling. some states halting issuing marriage licenses. we saw former governor mike
1:40 am
huckabee calling to resist the ruling. >> i'm not sure every attorney general would say it is the law of the land. >> reporter: and governor bobby jindal says he does not agree with the ruling but his state will comply. he says it a matter of days. they are waiting for an order of the u.s. court of appeals. other republican candidates like lindsey graham says those within his party calling for the constitutional amendment says that is hurting their party for 2016. >> i want to protect the religious liberties of those who believe opposing same-sex marriage is part of their faith. i would not engage in the amendment process as a party going into 2016. accept the court's ruling. fight for religious liberty. >> reporter: many advocates are eager to capitalize on the
1:41 am
decision. they are looking toward the next step. they say they will move to expand gay rights and try to get more laws on the books and anti-discrimination protections. in the next few weeks, democrats on capitol hill will move forward with the proposals. chances of though proposals passed in the republican controlled congress are unlikely. thank you, sunlen serfaty. chilling video released of the terrorist attack at the beach. at least 38 people killed. we have the latest developments next.
