Egypt referendum

Egyptians go to the polls; young protesters on climate change; women boxing in Congo

Egyptians have begun voting in a three-day referendum that aims to consolidate President Sisi's grip on power.

Also in the programme: young protesters talk climate change.

Plus, why women in Congo are taking up boxing?

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Claire Bolderson, journalist and blogger at Clairebolderson.com, and Christina Lamb, award-winning Sunday Times Chief Foreign Correspondent, and bestselling author.
