A special report on the women detained by Houthi rebels in Yemen.

A BBC special report on the women who have been caught up in the civil war in Yemen and imprisoned by Houthi rebels.

Plus, a British police officer who abducted, raped and killed a young woman has been given a life sentence. We discuss the impact of his crime.

Also, we hear from Milan where arguments between rich and developing countries marked an international climate meeting.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Jonathan Steele, an author, journalist and former chief foreign correspondent for the Guardian; and Patricia Cumper, an award-winning playwright, producer, critic, and commentator.
