Life in Mosul after 1 year of IS rule; China's armpit hair debate; and your Qs about Mers
What’s life like in Iraq’s second city after one year of Islamic State rule? Exclusive BBC footage shows mosques blown up, schools abandoned, Christians having fled their homes, and women forced to cover up from head to toe. We’ll hear from people who’ve fled and who still have relatives there.
The outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (Mers) in South Korea is spreading and Hong Kong warns against travelling there. We’ll put your questions to a health expert.
An ‘armpit hair competition’ has sparked a huge debate in China with arguments touching on feminism and traditional Chinese teaching. We’ll spread the conversation beyond China to find out how attitudes differ around the world and whether each modern generation recycles a debate that began in US feminist circles decades ago.
And we'll find out why some Malaysians are linking naked tourists to the recent Malaysian earthquake.
