Zimbabwe Opposition Accuses Government of Crackdown

The opposition has accused the security forces of brutally suppressing its members

The opposition has accused the security forces of brutally suppressing its members in response to violent protests against a sharp rise in the price of fuel. The government accuses the opposition of using the fuel price hike as a pretext for violent protests. We hear from people in the capital Harare about how they are feeling.

Also, China's economy grew at its slowest rate since 1990, stoking fears about the impact on the global economy. Our economics correspondent takes us through what these latest figures might mean.

And when a woman in New York was told she could no longer sit at the bar to eat in her favourite restaurant because she might be mistaken for an escort, it sparked a debate online. We hear a conversation of women discussing their own experiences.
