Thousands march for abortion rights across US
Pro-choice supporters fear that constitutional rights may be rolled back.
Tens of thousands of people have been holding rallies across all 50 US states in support of abortion rights. We hear from one of the march organisers
Also in the programme: Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte says he is retiring from politics and will not stand in elections next year; and we have a special report on the women caught up in the war in Yemen
Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Jonathan Steele, an author, journalist and former chief foreign correspondent for the Guardian; and Patricia Cumper, an award-winning playwright, producer, critic, and commentator.
