Is this a tipping point? Protests in UK and Australia calling for end to gender violence


A tide of anger sweeps across the English-speaking world as women in Australia and the UK take to the streets to demand an end to gender violence. Annette Young talks to Tabitha Morton, the deputy leader of the UK's Women's Equality Party as to whether this massive outcry is set to become a tipping point.

Also a ban on girls singing in public imposed by Afghanistan's government is overturned. This after a social media campaign called #IamMySong has women sharing videos of themselves belting out their favourite tunes.

Plus we meet South Africa's first female helicopter pilot who's established a foundation to train hundreds of young women in aviation.
