REPLAY - Watch the Tribute to Simone Veil, minister who fought for abortion rights
In today's show, tributes pour in for Simone Veil. The 89 year-old Holocaust survivor was an icon of French feminism who pioneered the legalization of abortion in France. And, in the US, journalists fight back against Donald Trump after his latest, vulgar tirade on Twitter against two political journalists.
Film critic Lisa Nesselson speaks to Eve Jackson about the latest film news, including “November” which delves into the traumatic aftermath of the 2015 Paris attacks, and “Simone: A Woman of the Century” about the extraordinary French woman Simone Veil, who played a leading role in legalising contraception and abortion in France. She was also the European parliament's first female president.
