Tens of thousands rally in Athens over referendum

Tens of thousands of Greeks have attended rallys in Athens in the run up to the country's Sunday referendum on whether to accept austerity measures from the European and International Monetary Fund lenders.

Greece's top court has rejected a bit to prevent the vote from happening on the grounds the timeframe was too short and the question to vague.

The Greek finance minister has said a report published by the Financial Times which said the government is set to reduce bank deposits of over 8 thousand euro by 30 per cent is a malicious rumour.
