Life as a young woman in Saudi Arabia

After the story of Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun, we hear women's stories from Saudi Arabia

The story of Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunu has been widely discussed on social media. The 18-year-old Saudi woman is in Thailand trying to claim asylum. She says she fears her family would kill her after she renounced Islam. We hear from young women in Saudi Arabia about life in the kingdom.

Also, a French writer is being criticised after saying he would be 'incapable' of loving a woman aged 50 or above, despite being 50 himself. How do people over 50 feel about this?

And we get a detailed insight into life in the Central African Republic.
