Sexual violence has become a national issue in India, triggering protests across the country. Last year Human Rights Watch said India's laws had improved but police and community leaders were still failing to implement changes, especially in rural areas.

Now, Bollywood stars have started speaking out about sexual harassment. Will their high profiles help bring about significant change?

Joining us is filmmaker Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj; Rituparna Chatterjee, an independent journalist who runs the twitter page for ‘India Me Too’; Haroon Rashid, Entertainment Reporter at the BBC Asian Network and Sharan Dhaliwal, Editor-in-Chief of Burnt Roti Magazine.

#BudgetAirlines, #NoFillsFlying, #PeanutAirlines

Two budget airlines in Europe have gone bust this year and another two stopped flying in 2017. The rise of budget airlines made our holiday dreams more affordable.

There’s no simple answer to why more people have become allergic to certain foods. Living environment, lifestyle and diet all play a part. And although scientists are not yet sure what's causing a rise in food allergies, they do think they understand some of the contributing factors. The food given to children before they are one year-old can make a huge difference.

Is Brazil’s President-elect Jair Bolsonaro, South America's Donald Trump, as has been suggested? He has in the past supported former South American dictators, saying in 1998 that Chile’s Augusto Pinochet ‘should have killed more people.’ So where will he take a country of more than 200 million people? And what was the appeal that got him to the Presidential Palace?

The First World War saw clocks changed in parts of Europe to save energy. It's been back and forth ever since. Europe and parts of North America just got an extra hour in bed and lost an hour of daylight in the evening. In the northern hemisphere and especially in EU, there are a growing number of people and governments who say it's time to change the time changes.
