From these top stories, I choose one story in the BBC News to write a summary. The title of article is " New Greece poll due as talks fail ".

In elections on 6 May, a majority of Greek voters backed parties opposed to austerity plans demanded by the EU and IMF in return for two bailouts.

The Greek president was appoint a caretaker government on Wednesday.
The euro fell sharply on the news, Greek shares also fell before recovering slightly.

European leaders say that they will cut off funding for Greece if it rejects the bailout agreed in March.This would mean effective bankruptcy for Greece and its all but certain exit from the European single currency, analysts say.Syriza wants to renegotiate the bailout package but also wants to keep Greece in the euro. Greece must also decide whether to redeem an outstanding bond worth 436m euros which matures on Tuesday.
