Labour MPs have warned that the Copeland by-election results suggest the party is heading for a general election catastrophe. We discuss Labour's prospects with Brian Wilson, a former minister; Stephen Bush from the New Statesman; and Lindsey German, activist and longtime Jeremy Corbyn ally. Also Senator Leila de Lima - a fierce critic of Philippine President Duterte's human rights record - has been jailed. We speak to the country's human rights commission chairman. And why did India's film censors refuse to pass a film about the lives of four women? We hear from the director of 'Lipstick under my Burkha', Alankrita Shrivastava.
