Voting starts in Zimbabwe elections

Zimbabweans are voting in elections that will determine the future of long-time President Robert Mugabe, who has denied allegations of vote-rigging despite concerns about the credibility of the polls.

Lines of voters snaked around a school in the capital, Harare, where polling booths opened just after the scheduled time of 7am. Many were dressed in heavy coats to ward off the winter chill and some carried flasks of hot drinks.
