Afghanistan, Paralympics, Mary Poppins

Women's voices and women's lives - topical conversations to inform, challenge and inspire.

We get the latest on Afghanistan with Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ journalist Sana Safi and talk to Seema Malhotra MP whose constituency in West London has a large Afghan community. She explains the help that's being provided to refugees.

We go live to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sports Correspondent Katie Smith in Tokyo who talks about female success at the Paralympics in Tokyo.

We hear a live performance from the Zizi Strallen who plays Mary Poppins in the West End. She sings Practically Perfect accompanied by Isaac McCullough on the piano.

We explore the notion of co-dependency with counsellor Susan McGrath, as well as a member of Co-Dependants Anonymous UK. We find out how co-dependency develops and what you can do about it.

And mirrors: why are some more flattering than others, and what are the range of feelings that come up when we look in the mirror? We hear from mirror expert Dr Melissa Kao and psychotherapist Susie Orbach.
