Burundi president votes amid tension

People in Burundi have voted amid tension over President Pierre Nkurunziza's decision to stand for a third consecutive term.

Polling ended after a night of gunfire and explosions that claimed two lives in the capital Bujumbura.

The US State Department has joined critics saying the disputed presidential election lacks credibility and will discredit the government.

Maud Jullien reports.

Correction 21 July 2015: This story has been amended to remove suggestions that the tension in the capital was replicated in other parts of the country.
