Big turnout in Zimbabwe vote

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Counting has begun in the first elections Zimbabwe has held without Robert Mugabe as a candidate. Turnout was high - the election commission says that three quarters of registered voters took part. We hear from Johnnie Carson a former US Ambassador to Harare who's part of an election monitoring team. Also, should criminal records checks unfairly stigmatise those who have been acquitted of a crime? And why have 4 million people in the Indian state of Assam been stripped of their citizenship? We speak to the Indian High Commissioner in London. (Picture: A woman casts her vote, with a baby in tow; Credit: Getty Images).
