The results of the Shadow Cabinet elections will be known late on Thursday. We assess how women have fared, who's in and who's out and what does it mean for female representation in politics? Plus -the US Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin made much of her love of hunting. So why are more women taking up the sport. We report from America's neighbour, Canada, where women are being encouraged to hunt bear. Plus - why does the north west have the highest number of forced marriages outside London?
