Women In The Italian Mafia

Why are women taking much more authoritative roles within the Italian Mafia?

A shootout between two rival Mafia clans in Southern Italy left three women dead - and the perpetrators and victims were all women. What does this say about the changing role of women in the Italian Mafia?

Also on the programme: An interview with the woman who built Somaliland's first maternity hospital for the poor. Plus, a look at the Chinese women adapting to life in Hong Kong.
