Arctic winter storm hits US and Canada

Plunging temperatures are causing havoc across the US and Canada. The arctic winter storm has brought damaging winds and freezing temperatures that can quickly lead to frostbite. We hear from a meteorologist in the US, and how people are coping with the arctic conditions.

We continue to hear from Afghanistan, where there have been protests against the ban on women attending universities. The Taliban have also expelled female teachers from some schools.

And men will be able to compete in artistic swimming in the next Olympics for the first time. We speak to an athlete about the sport.
