BBC World Service - BBC OS, The rise of women's football in England

How will England's historic win in the 2022 Euros boost interest in women's football?

Football fans in England have been celebrating the European Championship title won by the women's national team. We discuss the recent rise of women's game, and the era when women's game was effectively banned in England. 

The first ship carrying grain has left the Ukrainian port of Odesa for the first time since the Russian invasion in February. We get reaction from Ukrainian farmers and explain how this could ease the global food crisis

In South Africa, protesters have gathered outside a court west of Johannesburg where more than 80 men, suspected of links to the gang rape of a group of women film makers, have been appearing.

We speak to our correspondent in the Democratic Republic of Congo where a tribute ceremony has been taking place for four United Nations peacekeepers killed in last week's anti-UN protests.
