Profile of Marion Marechal-Le Pen, The Chain - Siofra Campbell, Seasonal dating

Jane Garvey presents the programme that offers a female perspective on the world. A look at National Front MP Marion Marechal-Le Pen and her appeal to the far right in France.

French MP Marion MarΓ©chal-Le Pen is seen as a rising star in the National Front (FN) party - how much does the politician share the views of her grandfather Jean-Marie Le Pen or aunt Marine Le Pen and why does she want to cut state funding for family planning services? Political commentator Agnes Poirier joins Jane from Paris.

The row about boxer Tyson Fury, short-listed for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sports Personality of the Year, escalated after comments he made about fellow nominee Jessica Ennis-Hill. Guardian sports writer Anna Kessel and Sport Magazine writer Sarah Shephard discuss whether it has an impact on women in sport.

Scriptwriter and director Siofra Campbell discusses sexism in the film industry and reveals her nomination for The Chain.

The letters to inspire a new generation of black women with publisher Amanda Wilson and two women who've written them, Leah Charles-King and Claudine Reid.
