Greece and its membership in Europe’s joint currency faced an uncertain future today, with time pressing for the country to reach a bailout deal with creditors after Greeks resoundingly rejected the notion of more austerity in exchange for aid.

It is claimed the Greek Prime Minister, Alexis Tsipras, is holding telephone conversations with France's Francois Hollande and he has spoken to the Russian President Vladimir Putin today.
