Greeks go to the Polls in Crucial Referendum

The Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras has cast his vote in a crucial referendum which could determine his country's future in the Eurozone.

Greeks are voting on whether to accept the terms demanded by the country's international creditors for a now-expired bailout.

The referendum is taking place against a background of economic turmoil - with the country's banks closed, and restrictions on cash withdrawals.

The anti-austerity Syriza government led by Mr Tsipras has campaigned for a No vote.

Opinion polls show the Yes side gaining momentum, but the result is still too close to call.

The referendum has divided the country - with thousands turning out for demonstrations in support of both the YES and NO campaigns.

But voters on both sides agree that the vote is a landmark moment for Greece and Europe.
