International Women's Day - Is There Equality?

As Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince visits London, we look at its record on women's rights.

In a special programme marking International Women's Day, we examine Saudi Arabia's record on women's rights as Mohammed Bin Salman meets PM Theresa May and Queen Elizabeth on a visit to London. We speak to Manal Al Shari, the founder of the women's driving movement in Saudi Arabia. And why is the number of women working in India falling? We hear from the 主播大秀's Rahul Tandon in Kolkata. Plus, Mattel launches a range of Barbies portraying famous women - but do they challenge stereotypes? Roger Hearing is joined throughout the programme by Jyoti Malhotra of the Indian Express in Delhi, Dr Jill Stein, who stood as Green Party candidate in the 2016 US presidential election, from Boston and Amy Bernstein, Editor of Harvard Business Review.
