The Greek government has confirmed that banks will be closed all week, after a decision by the European Central Bank not to extend emergency funding.

In a decree, it cited the "extremely urgent" need to protect the financial system due to the lack of liquidity.

Cash withdrawals will be limited to €60 (£42; $66) a day for this period, the decree says.

Athens is due to make a €1.6bn payment to the IMF on Tuesday - the same day that its current bailout expires.

In the final question to the PM, he is pressed on the details of the European Council summit, where the UK's EU reforms objectives were officially discussed for the first time. Mr Cameron says there was "a long discussion" about Greece and the migrants crisis, with a "brief discussion" about the UK's EU reform objectives. But it got "a good reception", he adds.

The prime minister says Britain is the second largest economy in Europe. "Europe would be seriously diminished without Britain," he says, adding that it is a "two-way street". He tells Today he hopes his reforms will be successful - adding that the Greek argument has some influence when it comes to the "flexibility" argument.

If Greece left the euro and ultimately the EU would it make your EU reform negotiations easier? Mr Cameron says the start of the negotiations "went well" at last week's EU summit. If the organisation is going to work it must be "flexible enough" to work for members in the eurozone - and those outside it. It should and can have that flexibility, he adds.

On to the EU - in particular the Greek debt crisis, the prime minister says Britain's interests would best be served by an agreement between the Greek government and the eurozone that delivers "stability". "We need a eurozone that works". On the Greek referendum, he predicts it will ultimately be a vote on whether to stay in the euro or not. "It's for the Greek people to decide," he adds, saying the UK must ensure it is prepared for "every eventuality" - including advising British tourists properly and British citizens in Greece.

On that point, he says "we must say that those views are not acceptable either", adding that "this is something that can be fixed". He says mosques and Imams across Britain have condemned extremist behaviour - and it must continue. He says the government should "engage" with Muslim communities and organisations but says there should be "some basic rules in terms of our engagements". He adds that if organisations back extremist preachers that is "a serious problem".

The PM says he believes is "an integrated, democratic successful multi-racial Britain" - saying that is what he "most Muslims" believe in, too.

On combating the threat at home, Mr Cameron cites efforts such as removing the passports of suspected jihadists. But he says "the battle of hearts and minds" also has to be won, stressing Britain's values.  The PM adds the UK is not just fighting terrorism but extremism, including people who may not be committing acts but "buy into the extremist narrative".

The prime minister says IS has lost a lot of territory in Iraq, so the idea that this isn't military reversible "is not true". He adds that UK action in Afghanistan and US action in Pakistan has reversed the threat. He goes on to says that beating IS is possible but cautions that it will take "extraordinary resolve and patience", as it is going to take "a long time".

"It's a battle of our values and our narrative against their's," the PM says. We have to get that right as well as the military end of the conflict. Is the military effort enough, the PM is asked? Mr Cameron says the government doesn't comment on what Britain's special forces do, adding that the air strikes against IS are "making a difference". Building local armies is key, he adds. He also underlines the importance of building inclusive governments to counter IS's narrative.

"We must take on and defeat this poisonous narrative," says David Cameron of IS. The prime minister says "we are a target" as they have declared "war on us" - both at home and abroad. It's not possible to hide from this threat, he goes on to say, so "we have to stand united with others who share our values" and attack IS at source in Iraq and Syria, and wherever it occurs.

Pressed to say whether the RAF planes will bring back the bodies killed in the attack he says that if that's what their loved ones what, the government will look into it.

In a wider question, the PM says he wishes the BBC would stop using the name Islamic State "as it is not a state", it is a "barbaric regime", he says. He adds that the group is "an existential threat" that is seducing too many young minds". He stresses the need to deal with the radical narrative it espouses, adding that it is a battle that needs to be fought "on every front".

David Cameron is on the Today programme speaking about the Tunisian beach attack. He says Home Secretary Theresa May will be visiting Tunisia later. This is an absolutely horrific attack which has shocked the country and the world, he adds. The PM says RAF planes will be sent out to bring back casualties.

New guidelines are being unveiled for doctors, nurses and midwives across the UK on being honest and open with patients when things go wrong.

Known as a "duty of candour", the guidelines make clear that patients should expect a face-to-face apology.

In April, the NHS introduced a rule that told NHS and private healthcare organisations to admit their mistakes candidly, and as soon as possible.

Now the same rule is to be applied to individual medics.

Detailed guidance makes clear staff should tell the patient as soon as possible when something has gone wrong, and what it might mean for their health.

The guidance also makes clear that patients or their families should receive a face-to-face apology.

For the avoidance of doubt, it even spells out words that such an apology might include, such as "I am sorry".
