Jacinda Ardern is quitting as New Zealand prime minister.

In a surprise announcement Jacinda Ardern says she is quitting as New Zealand prime minister ahead of this year's election saying she no longer has "enough in the tank" to lead. We look back at her time in office, hear reaction from New Zealanders and bring together female politicians to discuss challenges they have faced in their political life.

France has been hit by nationwide strikes over pension changes which would raise the official retirement age from 62 to 64. We hear views from France and find out about retirement ages elsewhere in Europe.

We speak to our reporter in India about allegations of sexual harassment against the chief of India's Wrestling Federation and other coaches.

We talk about Ronaldo's debut in Saudi-Arabia today. He is playing a friendly for a Saudi All Stars team against Lionel Messi’s Paris Saint Germain.
