GREEK MARKETS IN TURMOIL

Greece's new Prime Minister says there will be no debt default, amid turmoil on Greek financial markets.

Alexis Tsipras has told his first cabinet meeting since winning Sunday's election that a renegotiation of Greece's international bailout is the government's priority.

But the European Union is warning Athens to stick to its commitments.

And Greek banking shares have been plummeting in Wednesday trading - while yields on Greek government debt have been soaring, a sign that investors see them as more risky.

Mr Tsipras' team has already announced it is putting major privatisation projects on hold.

British Prime Minister David Cameron has joked in the House of Commons that his Greek counterpart needs to adopt Mr Cameron's economic slogan.

Kim Jong-un Likely To Visit Moscow

'500 EUROPEAN WOMEN' HAVE JOINED IS IN SYRIA AND IRAQ

Around 500 women from western Europe have traveled to Syria and Iraq to join the Islamic State, according to new research.

It warns radicalised women aligned to the Islamic State could pose a threat to European countries on their return.

The ISD has put together the largest ever study of female jihadists.
