BBC World Service - The World This Week, Hillary Gets There

Hillary Clinton is the first woman from a main party to be able to run for president

Hillary Clinton is the first woman from a main party to be able to run for president.

Hillary Clinton finally got the last votes she needed to defeat Bernie Sanders and run as the Democrats' candidate for the presidency.  She is the first woman from a major party to do so. She said it was a milestone - but does she really represent change? 

Also, what lies behind the rise in violence in Bangladesh; how China is changing world football; we report from Scotland on the campaign to keep Britain in the EU, or to get it to leave; and in the wake of Muhammad Ali's death, are there any more heroes?
