Google Walkout Protest
Google employees have staged a global walkout to protest against sexual harassment.
Google employees around the world have staged a mass walkout to protest against alleged sexual harassment, systemic racism and a toxic working culture. We speak to our technology correspondent and hear from some of the protesters.
Also in the show, we go live to South Africa where a special summit about violence against women and children is being held. During the meeting women protested by holding up underwear as President Ramaphosa was speaking. And we get an insight into 'birth tourism' in the US, where women from Russia and the Ukraine are paying thousands of US dollars to visit and give birth in order to enable their children to become US citizens.
