Poland delays abortion ban as nationwide protests continue

Description

After hundreds of thousands took to the street in anger, the Polish Government has delayed the publication of a Constitutional Court ruling that would introduce an almost total ban on abortion. Annette Young talks to Leah Hoctor, the Europe Director for the Centre for Reproductive Rights. Also despite the chaotic outcome of the American presidential election, the four Democratic women of colour who make up the "squad" as they've been dubbed, are voted back into Congress. Plus we meet the women competing in this year's Vendée Globe, a non-stop round-the-world yacht race.
