Intense fighting in eastern DRC
Hundreds of thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes as fighting in the DRC has intensified in the past 24 hours. The UN peacekeeping mission is supporting the Congolese army against the M23 rebel group. We speak to an independent journalist based in the city of Goma.
Also on the programme: the man who has discovered new sensations with his robotic arm; and are opportunities improving for older women in the film and TV industry?
