In Athens tonight, the government at the centre of Europe's debt crisis is hanging by a thread. Members of the prime minister's own party have called for him to resign. An emergency cabinet meeting is being held. Around the world, markets have suffered huge losses, fearful that Europe's plan to contain the debt crisis is now not worth the paper it's written on. The Greek bailout is a crucial part of that deal. But now Greece's prime minister has surprised everyone, even his own finance minister, with the announcement that it will be the Greek people who decide in a referendum whether to take the next bailout and the associated austerity that will come with it. A poll at the weekend suggested a majority do not support the deal.

State television in Syria has reported that the authorities have reached an agreement with the Arab League over ending violence in the suppression of anti-government protests, but the claim has been denied by the Arab League. Jon Leyne reports.

The Arab League has been proposing a plan under which the Syrian government would withdraw its forces from the streets and start a new dialogue with the opposition in an attempt to end months of violence. Syrian state TV says agreement has been reached on the plan, though it has not confirmed the details. But the Arab League has categorically denied that.

They believe that without tanks on the streets President Assad would rapidly lose control of his country.
