Closing ceremony of greece from euro

We’re been live-blogging the reaction to Sunday’s Greek referendum for around 21 hours now. It’s time to wrap up and give the Guardian web servers a rest.
So, a final recap.
Greece and the eurozone will make one last, desperate attempt to make progress towards an urgently needed bailout deal on Tuesday.

Leaders, and finance ministers, will both hold crucial meetings in Brussels, after Sunday’s referendum result raised the risks of Grexit to new heights. It’s a final chance for Greece to propose a new reform plan that could start the ball rolling towards a new aid package, but the journey looks perilous.
Germany and France scrambled to avoid a major split over Greece on Monday evening as the eurozone delivered a damning verdict on Alexis Tsipras’s landslide referendum victory on Sunday and Angela Merkel demanded that the Greek prime minister put down new proposals to break the deadlock.
As concerns mount that Greek banks will run out of cash and about the damage being inflicted on the country’s economy, hopes for a breakthrough faded. EU leaders voiced despair and descended into recrimination over how to respond to Sunday’s overwhelming rejection of eurozone austerity terms as the price for keeping Greece in the currency.
Tsipras, meanwhile, moved to insure himself against purported eurozone plots to topple him and force regime change by engineering a national consensus of the country’s five mainstream parties behind his negotiating strategy, focused on securing debt relief.
