Voting in India's election draws to a close

Voting has closed in India in an election being seen as a referendum on Narendra Modi's leadership.

Voting in India's election has closed in what analysts think will be a close fight for seats. We hear from West Bengal in the last minutes of voting. There as in other parts of the country, the vote is being seen as one thing; a test of Narendra Modi's leadership.

Also on the programme: Austria will hold a snap election in September. The governing coalition fell apart when the far right Freedom Party's leader was filmed apparently promising government contracts in return for help in his election campaign. And the photographer documenting a notorious housing estate and its inhabitants in Naples before it is demolished.
