Feminist activist and journalist Gloria Steinem dies

Gloria Steinem, who became a leader of the women's liberation movement in the US, has died aged 92.

Gloria Steinem, who was a writer and magazine editor, co-founded the Women's Action Alliance - a group dedicated to fighting sexism - more than 50 years ago. We speak to women who were inspired by her.

A drop in small boats illegally reaching the UK is forcing people smuggling gangs to adopt new tactics, a BBC investigation has found. We speak to our correspondent who has been investigating.

As wildfires in South East Asia continue, a blanket of toxic haze is enveloping parts of Indonesia and spreading into Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines. We hear from our reporter in the region.

And, we hear from family members of those still missing after the floods in Nepal.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
