Kurdistan Votes in Independence Referendum

Available for over a year

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.
