'Disappointed' by EU referendum vote decision

Two Britons living abroad have lost their Court of Appeal battle over the right to vote in June's EU referendum.
The challenge was brought by World War Two veteran Harry Shindler, 95, who lives in Italy, and lawyer and Belgian resident Jacquelyn MacLennan, 54.
Under law, UK citizens who have lived abroad for more than 15 years cannot vote.
Joanna Gosling, presenting the Victoria Derbyshire programme, spoke to Ms MacLennan as well as John Little, an expat living near Palma in Majorca and Carla Herbertson, from the Netherlands who lives in the UK but is also not allowed to vote in the referendum.
