With Jane Garvey. The secret letters that shed new light on the life of singer Edith Piaf who's the subject of a newly published biography. Official figures in India support the view that the number of girls born there is continuing to decline, despite a legal ban on sex selective abortions. Two guests discuss how to bring about a change in inherent cultural attitudes towards girls.

There's music from Europop singer Tatiana, whose musical style has been compared to that of Amy Winehouse.
