We hear the conversation being had around the comedy sketch The Real Housewives of Isis.

We hear the conversation being had around the comedy sketch The Real Housewives of Isis. The controversial Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ satire has had 21 million views on Facebook. It focuses on the women who decide to flee the UK and join so called Islamic State. We ask whether some comedy should be off limits.

Plus, actor Om Puri has died at the age of 66. We hear from some of his fans.

And, a smartphone app has gone live in Pakistan enabling women to report incidents of harassment to the police. Critics say it will be of little help to those in rural areas. We hear from women in the country.
