Dr Denis Mukwege is a hero to thousands of women in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

He's the gynaecologist who set up a special clinic to treat victims of rape - which has been used as a systematic weapon of war in the country's recent violence.

Dr Mukwege estimates that he's helped more than 30,000 women in the last fifteen years. In October the doctor was attacked by gunmen as he came home from work and he was forced to flee the country.

Also New York correspondent Matt Wells meets John Bergmann, the founder of the Popcorn Park shelter which provide sanctuary for abandoned pets including tigers, lions, bears, wallabies and monkeys. Today it's grown into a fully operational zoo, attracting 75,000 visitors a year.
