Haiti: State of emergency

We get the latest from Haiti where an emergency has been declared in the capital Port-au-Prince and its surrounding district because of a sharp decline in security that's seen two serious jailbreaks. Night curfews are in force until Wednesday after powerful armed gangs opened the city's biggest jail leading to the killing of at least a dozen people and the freeing of nearly 4,000 prisoners. We speak to a journalist on the ground and hear a conversation with local people.

We go to France where a rare joint sitting of the French National Assembly and Senate is expected to amend the constitution to enshrine the right to abortion. It would make France the first country in the world to do so. We hear from women living there on what this all means to them.

We sit down with the BBC's Meghan Owen who has been speaking to members of the Russian opposition activist group Pussy Riot. We find out how the group view their role in Russia after the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
