BBC World Service - Weekend, Italy: the battle ahead

Italian political crisis; Taiwan's 'comfort women'; a scientist's final discovery

More reaction from the rest of the European Union to the Italian referendum result, where voters rejected Prime Minster Matteo Renzi's proposal to change Italy's constitution; Taiwan opens a museum dedicated to the women used by Imperial Japan as sex slaves before and during the second world war; the British scientist who confirmed Einstein's last unproven prediction.
