Hundreds Queue Outside Banks In Greece
Eurozone finance ministers have refused a request by Greece to extend its bailout programme, officials say,
in the most dramatic day of the five-month financial crisis.
Prime Minister Alexis Trispras called last night for a referendum on a proposed bailout deal, increasing the risk that the country might fall out of the euro.

But the Eurogroup have now closed the door on that option.
