Saudi Prince Looks to Change Women's Role in Society

Mohammad Bin Salman wants to encourage women to play a greater role in work and society

As part of a long-term plan, Saudi Arabia's Deputy Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman says he wants to encourage women to play a greater role in society and the workforce. We hear views from a mother and daughter in the country. Also on the programme: the White House says it may issue another executive order on immigration instead of lodging a court appeal to enforce the previously blocked one. And voters in Switzerland are deciding on whether to relax the country's notoriously strict citizenship laws.
