It will be a weekend of celebrations in the US as Americans mark Independence Day on Saturday. However, the celebrations will be tempered by warnings of possible terrorist attacks. July 4 celebrations at a US Air Force base have been cancelled amid heightened fears of a terrorist attack.

The US territory of Guam may have to put off July 4 celebrations with an intensifying storm headed in its direction during the Independence Day weekend. Guam may begin to experience impacts from Typhoon Chan-Hom as early as mid-morning on Saturday.

Greece will vote in a referendum on Sunday on whether the country should accept or reject a bailout agreement offered by its creditors. In a televised address to the nation last week Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said the bailout proposals of the creditors violated European rules and the basic rights to work, equality and dignity show that the purpose of some of the partners and institutions was not a viable agreement for all parties, but possibly the humiliation of an entire people.

President Pranab Mukherjee would visit the temple of Lakshminarasimha Swamy at Yadagirigutta in Telangana on Sunday.
