An anti-abortion rally has taken place in Buenos Aires before a landmark vote on abortion. At present, in this strongly Catholic country, it's only allowed in the case of rape or if the woman's health is in danger. We'll hear from a lawyer supporting the new law.

Also on the programme: we speak to Alex De Waal the director of the World Peace Foundation at Tufts University about the use of starvation as a weapon of war in Yemen.
