Two Syrian cities have been hit by a wave of bombings which the Islamic State group says it carried out. State media reported that more than 80 people died in blasts in a suburb of Damascus. Activists1 say about 60 others were killed in Homs. More details from Jim Muir.

But it has a strong interest conversely in disrupting peace moves and it could well be that motivates the series of really deadly and grisly bombing attacks both provocative2 in sectarian terms carried out in one case near the main Shiite in Damascus and in an Alawi dominated area of Homs.
The Mayor of London Boris Johnson has announced that he will campaign for Britain to leave the European Union. Mr. Johnson said the EU was gradually eroding3 the country’s sovereignty.

With more on Boris Johnson's announcement, here's Alex Forsyth. Amid a scrum of newspaper journalists and TV cameras, he confirmed he would campaign for the UK to leave the European Union. He texted David Cameron his decision some ten minutes earlier, but had told Downing Street a day before that he was likely to back the leave campaign. He said after decades of personal frustration4 and what he described as the undemocratic nature of the EU, this was his chance to do something about it.

Votes are being counted in Bolivia in a referendum on whether to allow President Evo Morales to seek for a fourth term in office. If the proposal to amend7 the constitution is approved, Mr. Morales could potentially remain in power until 2025. Our Americas Editor Leonardo Rocha reports. When Evo Morales came into power in 2006, many expected the introduction of frantic8 socialist9 measures in the event of collapse10 of the economy. But Bolivia has grown more than its neighbors and the social policies of President Morales have drastically reduced poverty in one of South America's poorest nations. That explains the president's popularity. But there is a growing feeling even among some of his supporters that allowing him to serve 19 consecutive11 years could damage Bolivia's democracy.
