Catalonia vote on independence takes place

The people of Catalonia in north-eastern Spain have been voting in a disputed and non-binding poll on independence.

The Spanish judiciary has ruled the vote unconstitutional but Catalan leader Artur Mas warned against any attempt to disrupt it.

Spain's constitutional court suspended earlier plans for a referendum on secession.
