Apollo 11 anniversary: What's the future of space exploration?
50 years since the first moon landing, we look to the future of space exploration.
Celebrations are taking place at the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida to commemorate 50 years since the launch of the mission that first landed man on the moon. We look forward to what the future may hold for space travel and exploration and speak to space enthusiasts and experts across the world to find out what they want to see happen in space.
Also, President Donald Trump made comments which called on four Democratic congresswomen to "go back" to the countries from which they "originally came". We hear from three American women of similar backgrounds, about how it feels to be told to 'go home' in your own country.
And we return to the story of the male politician in Mississippi who refused to be interviewed by a female reporter unless a chaperone was present. We hear from people who have been getting in touch with the programme.
