  Hello, I'm Neil Nunes with the BBC news.

  Hours before a deadline for Greece to repay 1.6 billion euros, Prime Minister Alexi Tsipras hasurged his country’s voters to back his plans to end austerity. He said no vote in Sunday’sreferendum would help negotiate a more favorable settlement to his country’s debt crisis.From Athens, Joe Lynam has this report.

  "If as expected, Greece fails to make the 1.6 billion-euro payment to the IMF, it would beconsidered in arrears, which starts a lengthy process of recouping moneys owed. By close aplay tonight, the 120 billion-euro bailout programme which Greece agreed with its Euro Zonepartners in 2011 will also expire, having been extended by six months already. On top of that,Greece must make a payment of 3.5 billion euros to the European Central Bank in three weeks.Failure to pay that has far swifter repercussions. The decision to walk away from negotiationsmeans that ordinary Greeks now face limits in how much money they can withdraw from ATMsand a ban on any payments outside the country without express permission from the GreekCentral Bank.

  Seven weeks after the country was declared free of the Ebola, Liberia has reported another caseof the disease. The Deputy Health Minister Tolbert Nyenswah said a 17-year-old boy has diedfrom the disease. He said teams were investigating the victim’s movements in the days beforehis death.

  “Even before the result came out, the body was buried safely by the deadbody managementteam. People need to be vigilant and take all preventive measures because one case of Ebolais dangerous. We have said it over and over again, but there is a possibility that could be aresurgent of the virus in Liberia."

  A statement apparently posted online by Islamic States says that its Sanaa division has carriedout a car bomb attack in the Yemeni capital, causing many casualties. The attack is reported tohave targetted at the homes of several Houthi rebel leaders. Initial report said that about 30people were wounded. A confirmed report suggests many of those have died.

  A US State Department spokesman has said that they had no solid evidence that Jordan andTurkey are considering setting up buffering zones within Syria. The two countries are reportedto be waiting such a move because of increasing instability. A US Department spokesman MarkToner said these are just unconfirmed reports for now.

  “Frankly, we don’t have any ground truth on any of these plans so far. All we’ve seen franklyare press reports. So there is really no solid evidence on which way either Turkey or Jordan isleaning at this point. Certainly these are amazing, eh, remarkable challenges, securitychallenges that everyone in this region is facing and looking at how to address them the bestway possible. It’s something that these governments are considering. The area of Syria underthe government control has greatly diminished."
