Ecuador leader celebrates 'win'
Ecuador's President Rafael Correa has been celebrating an apparent landslide victory in a referendum on overhauling the political system.

An exit poll showed 78% of voters backed his call for a people's assembly that would by-pass Congress and rewrite the constitution.

Mr Correa said the country had "said yes to the future".

He also threatened to kick out the World Bank's representative and said he would no longer deal with the IMF
