How her case reveals domestic abuse in Saudi Arabia

Rania al-Baz is Saudi Arabia's most famous female television presenter, renowned for appearing on screen with her face uncovered.

In April this year, she was beaten so badly by her husband that she nearly died. She went public about the attack, allowing pictures of her battered face to be published, and is now trying to divorce her husband.

How much of a taboo has she broken in Saudi Arabia by talking about the case in public? Martha talks to Dr Mai Yamani from the Royal Institute of International Affairs
