British father Nick Gazzard now protects other women from domestic abuse

British father Nick Gazzard now protects other women from domestic abuse.

In 2013, Nick Gazzard from Gloucester in the west of England was a happy family man. His youngest daughter Hollie had recently broken up with her boyfriend and come back to live at the family home. The break up between Hollie and her boyfriend had been difficult, but Nick had not been too worried about his seemingly confident and independent daughter, until he received the devastating news that Hollie had been murdered by her ex-boyfriend. Today, Nick is determined that something positive will come from his daughter's murder and has launched a mobile app to protect women from domestic abuse.

One of the most notorious episodes of World War Two was the Burma railway. 'The Line' - as it was called -  claimed over 80,000 lives. These events are the subject of a prize-winning novel by one of Australia's leading authors, Richard Flanagan. The Narrow Road to the Deep North took 12 years to write and was inspired by his father's experiences as a prisoner of the Japanese during World War Two. 

In the movies, the world of private detectives always seems rather murky, with operatives treading a fine line between right and wrong. Two women private detectives - Maureen Nzioko from Nairobi, Kenya, and Akriti Khatri from Delhi in India - discuss the ethics of their job with the BBC's Kim Chakanetsa.
