At 67 and still performing, Debbie Harry on the enduring appeal of her iconic music, being a woman in the male-dominated 70s New York punk scene and the music industry today. Plus how it feels growing older as a woman so idolised and celebrated for her looks. The controversy over part time female GPs continues. Are they a burden on the NHS? We speak to the Health Minister Anna Soubry about why she's been drawn in to the argument. How's the UK faired in the first ever EU Gender Equality Index? Is it time to introduce quotas?
