Hong Kong arrests ahead of weekend protests
Hong Kong authorities detain prominent activists ahead of demonstrations this weekend.
More arrests in Hong Kong ahead of demonstrations this weekend and among those detained is the prominent activist Joshua Wong, now released on bail. He tells us it won't stop him...
Also on the programme we hear from Kashmiri villagers who have been beaten and tortured by Indian troops and get a response from a former Indian Army general - previously in charge of the area. And there is new research out today for women going through the menopause.
