UK should consider Syria air-strikes

The UK's defence secretary says MPs should consider British air-strikes against Islamic State targets in Syria...

Britain has been bombing IS targets in Iraq since last September.

But Michael Fallon says it is illogical to consider the border, when Islamic State does not.

Any further British military action would require a vote in the Commons - chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee Crispin Blunt says IS must be defeated...

Eurogroup freezes Greece talks until referendum

The eurozone has slammed the door to further talks with the Greek government until the country decides on the next course of action in a referendum on Sunday.

Finance ministers of Europe's single currency said they took into account Prime Minister Tsipras's latest offering - a revised bailout proposal which appeared to give some concessions.

But the leftist government in Athens has remained firm on areas like pension age and tax exemptions for some Greek islands.

Eurozone leaders on Wednesday dismissed the possibility of renegotiating Greece's expired bailout, instead calling for Greek voters to choose 'yes' in a referendum on whether the country should accept a bailout program to avoid a Greek default and exit from the euro.... a fate Prime Minister Tsipras denies will be the case should voters choose 'no'.

After a short teleconference President of the Eurogroup Jeroen Dijsselbloem said no talks will be held until after Sunday.
