| Greece debt crisis: Tsipras urges 'No' to 'blackmail' | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Greek PM Alexis Tsipras has called on voters to reject "blackmail" when they vote in a bailout referendum on Sunday. | |
| In a short TV address, he insisted Greece's presence in the EU was not at stake and urged voters to reject the "sirens of scaremongering". | |
| On Sunday, Greek voters will decide whether they support the terms of further international loans, following months of tough talks with creditors. | |
| EU leaders have warned that a "No" vote could see Greece leave the eurozone. | |
| Greece's economy is already being squeezed after the country lost access to fresh funds. Banks have been shut and limits imposed on cash withdrawals. | |
| There has been no campaigning as such, the BBC's Chris Morris reports from Athens - just a few chaotic days as supporters and opponents of the governing Syriza party have jostled for position. | |
| Both sides are now racing to reach voters before time runs out, with "Yes" and "No" posters vying for space. | |
| There have also been forceful exchanges of views across the continent, with European politicians starkly denying Greek claims that a "No" vote will strengthen their hand in the bailout negotiations. |
