## Resource

Is the South African government doing enough to address the scourge of femicide? We ask the country's minister for women. Also in the programme: Russia's parliamentary election begins. The result's not in doubt - so what can we learn? A deadly mosque attack hits Friday prayers in Pakistan; and how autonomous drones are being upgraded - with whiskers.
