More than £25bn was wiped off the value of Britain's biggest companies on Tuesday as traders dumped risky assets and fled to safety as fears grew that Greece will leave the euro and trigger a fresh crisis. The FTSE 100 slid 1.8 per cent to close at its lowest level this year, falling 100 points to 5,554, following the Greek electorate's rejection of the austerity measures that are a condition of its two bail-outs, worth a combined €219bn. European markets followed suit, with Germany's Dax dropping almost 2 per cent and France's CAC sliding nearly 3 per cent. The US Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 1.3 per cent in early trading after digesting the weekend's tumultuous developments for a second day, The Telegraph says.

Shares in Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation and BSkyB rose on Tuesday as experts warned he may have to sever all ties with the satellite broadcasting business he founded. News Corp could be forced to sell off its entire 39pc stake in BSkyB, or watch the £12bn pay-to-view company lose its valuable licence to air television. In London, BSkyB shares rose 13 to close at 691p, buoyed by expectations of a sale and ahead of its third-quarter results on Wednesday. In New York, News Corp shares went up 32 to $19.93 in morning trading. The share price increases came as Ofcom, the UK media regulator that has the power to revoke BSkyB's broadcasting licence if it decides that any director or controlling shareholder is not "fit and proper", signalled it would take into account a damning report by MPs, The Telegraph writes.
