Kurdistan Votes in Independence Referendum

Voters are jubilant as they go to the polls, but Baghdad opposes the vote.

Voters are jubilant as they go to the polls, but Baghdad opposes the vote. We get the latest from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Jiyar Gol in Erbil. We get reaction from Berlin following Angela Merkel's re-election as German chancellor. Fergus Nicol is joined throughout the programme by Jason Abbruzzese of Mashable in New York and by Andrew Peaple, deputy Asia finance editor for the Wall Street Journal, in Hong Kong.
