Iraqi prime minister unveils anti-corruption measures

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has won the backing of his cabinet for sweeping reforms, aimed at cutting government spending and tackling corruption.

The measures include the abolition of the posts of vice-president and deputy prime minister.

The proposals follow weeks of anti-government protests, at a time when a third of the country is under the control of Islamic State militants.
