Uganda to make identifying as LGBT illegal

A bill making LGBT identity illegal goes much further than Uganda's existing laws banning homosexual activity.

Rights groups in Uganda have expressed concern about a new draft law which would make it a crime for people to identify as LGBT. Also on the programme, the UN has warned of a looming global water crisis because of pollution and excessive consumption, ahead of its first big conference on the subject in decades; and we hear from one of the first women who joined the London Stock Exchange, fifty years ago.
