Putin set to win a fifth term by an expected landslide of 88% of votes

Putin is set to win a fifth term by an expected landslide of 88% of votes.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been handed a landslide victory in an election his opponents condemned as a sham. The last day of voting was marked by silent protests at polling stations.

Also on the programme: We speak to the prime minister of the Caribbean nation of St. Vincent and Grenadines about the political plan for Haiti; and the Moroccan police seized more than ten tonnes of cannabis resin from a fishing boat in Agadir.
