Does it matter if a midwife is a man? Plus, RAF Red Arrows return to Pakistan after 20 years.

After Dilan Chauhan, a male midwife, shared his experiences, Nihal wants to know, does it matter if a midwife is a man? Yassir Morsi talks about his book Radical Skin, which explores the extent Muslims can speak out on politics without being defined as either a moderate or radical. The Royal Air Force Red Arrows performed in Karachi for the first time in 20 years. Squadron Leader David Montenegro tells Nihal why it took so long for the show to return to Pakistan. Plus, Qaisra Shahraz chats about her new book, 'The Concubine & The Slave-Catcher': Stories from Around the World, which tells ten stories set on several continents and at different periods in history.
