Spain's Basques form human chain calling for independence vote

Tens of thousands of people in the autonomous Basque country of northern Spain have formed a human chain to push for greater autonomy.

The organisers say it reached 202km (125 miles) and linked the cities of San Sebastian and Bilbao with Vitoria, the seat of the Basque parliament.

The region has a higher degree of self-government than Catalonia - which has been seeking independence from Madrid.
