Hi Everyone! Sorry for the delays in posting the latest updates. Due to internet issues, TN will be going out only a few times a week instead of daily. I will not be posting a full update today as I am still way behind, BUT.... to wet your whistle:
Venice votes in referendum on splitting from Rome
16 March 2014 Last updated at 16:30 GMT
Voting has begun in Venice and the surrounding region on whether to break away from Italy.
Recent opinion polls suggest that two-thirds of the four million electorate favour splitting from Rome, but the vote will not be legally binding.
The poll was organised by local activists and parties, who want a future state called Republic of Veneto.
This would be reminiscent of the sovereign Venetian republic that existed for more than 1,000 years.
