Istanbul voters to choose mayor in election re-run

Live from Turkey's biggest city ahead of the vote

Voters in Istanbul are facing a second mayoral election on Sunday. The initial one in March saw the ruling party's candidate narrowly defeated. After a successful court challenge, the election was annulled and a re-run declared. We're in Istanbul to hear people's thoughts ahead of the new vote.

Also, we'll be joined by our reporter in Georgia. The speaker of the country's parliament has resigned following mass protests over a parliamentary address by a Russian MP. Tensions between Georgia and Russia are high, 11 years after they fought a war over the breakaway region of South Ossetia.

And we talk about the Africa Cup of Nations, ahead of the much-anticipated kick-off game between Egypt and Zimbabwe.
