BBC World Service - Newshour, Iraqis vote in elections for reform

Early parliamentary elections are called in response to anti-government protests

Iraqis head to the polls in a general election that is being held early in response to mass protests that erupted two years ago.  Iraqi leaders are saying it is a chance for reform but many Iraqis believe that little will change.  We have some analysis and hear from some voters.

Also in the programme: On World Day against the death penalty, we hear about the plight of women around the world on death row and what should be done to help them. And we go to the United States where Donald Trump, the former Republican president stoked speculation about his 2024 intentions by holding a rally in Iowa.
