Eurozone finance ministers have urged Greece to make new proposals after the country rejected the bailout referendum with a majority "No" vote.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande have also pressed Greece to make "serious" proposals.

Meanwhile, the European Central Bank (ECB) said it would maintain emergency cash support for Greek banks, which are running out of funds and on the verge of collapse.
