Vienna Meeting on Security in Libya

Libya talks; France sexism; Sykes-Picot line, a 100 years on.

Vienna, the Austrian capital, is hosting an international conference on how to bring greater stability to the country and support its new United Nations-backed unity government. We hear about the female politicians who say they will no longer tolerate sexism in France. We revisit the Sykes-Picot line that divided the Middle East into British and French spheres of influence and control. We look into how this agreement has been shaping policies, a 100 years on.
