As the allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein continue, actress Emma Thompson says the reported incidents are part of a wider problem in Hollywood. So how common is harassment in the workplace? Then Canadian filmmaker Arshad Khan discusses how he turned his personal story - about being a gay, Pakistani Muslim immigrant- into a documentary, which will be screen at the BFI London Film Festival. After this, Zaheer Khan and Saiful Islam from Human Appeal discuss the work they've been doing with Rohingya Muslims who have been fleeing from Myanmar. It's Baby Loss Awareness Week, and Erica Stewart from the charity Sands talks about support available for parents. Afterwards, Nihal talks to Urvashi Sahni who's working to tackle illiteracy in India. She's been named as one of the BBC's 100 Women for her work with the Study Hall foundation in Lucknow. Then we discuss the weekend's football fixtures, including Liverpool v Manchester United.
