    Well, not immediately. But a spokesman for Eurogroup chairman Jeroen Dijsselbloem says they will meet up later in the week. 

  9. Most votes counted...published at 21:30

    We mentioned it earlier, but France and Germany are pushing for an urgent summit on Tuesday - it was arranged in a phone call between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande.

    They're now calling for other eurozone leaders to attend - that seems likely.

  11. ECB 'likely to keep cash lifeline frozen'published at 21:19

    Reuters: European Central Bank policy setters are likely to maintain emergency funding for Greek banks at its current restricted level, people familiar with the matter said on Sunday, following Greece's rejection in a referendum of bailout conditions.

    If that's confirmed when the ECB's governing council meets on Monday, there seems little chance the banks will be able to reopen on Tuesday, as the Greek government promised.

    Opposition leader goes

    Some breaking news coming in - Greece's centre-right opposition leader, Antonis Samaras, has stepped down.

    Samaras - prime minister until January this year - was the lead voice of the 'Yes' campaign and there were immediate calls for his resignation as soon as opinion polls were released.

  15. Bad day for pollsters?published at 21:02

    This is what the four main opinion polls were predicting as the result when the polls closed earlier this evening:

    Metron Analysis : 'Yes' 48%, 'No' 52%

    GPO : 'Yes' 48.5%, 'No' 51.5%

    MARC : 'Yes' 48%, 'No' 52%

    MRB : 'Yes' 46% to 51%, 'No' 49% to 54%

    Now, with more than 71% of the votes counted, it appears these polls were way off - the 'No' camp is in the lead with 61%.

  16. ECB to meet on Mondaypublished at 21:00

    Big decision for European Central Bank's governing council. Last weekend it froze the limit on the "Emergency Liquidity Assistance" (ELA) that Greek banks could get in cash from the Greek central bank, prompting the government to impose capital controls. So will they raise the €89bn ceiling or not?

    More again from Germany's Deputy Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel, who has spoken to Tagesspiegel newspaper.

    He said Tsipras and his government were taking Greece down a path of "bitter abandonment and hopelessness."

    Tsipras has "torn down the last bridges which Europe and Greece could have crossed to find a compromise," Gabriel said. "By saying 'No' to the eurozone's rules...negotiations over billions of euros in bailout programmes are difficult to imagine."

    And the No's have it

    The Interior Ministry count gives more than 61% of the vote to the 'No'-camp. It's a clear victory.

    As of tomorrow, with this very generous 'No' that the Greek people have given us - ignoring the fear created with closed banks and by the media - we will try to co-operate with our partners and we will invite them one by one to see if we can find some common ground. And we will try to be positive.
