Final preparations for Iraqi Kurds’ independence referendum

The US has warned of unrest in Iraq’s Kurdish region in advance of Monday’s historic independence referendum.

Preparations for the vote are in full swing despite international calls to delay it.

Iraq’s government maintains the referendum is “illegal”, while Turkey and Iran are warning of consequences.
