The sex therapist on why we all need to talk more. The devastating impact of Yemen's conflict on maternal mortality. One woman and six new-born babies die during pregnancy or childbirth every two hours in Yemen according to UNICEF statistics released recently.
The organisation says this is a direct result of the conflict there. Sex therapist Dr Ruth K Westheimer joins us to talk about a working life giving sex advice, and her recent 91st birthday celebrations.
Dr Ruth became famous in the s and s with her frank advice about sex on radio and television. Born and brought up in Germany - she lost both her parents in the holocaust. She settled in America, writing and broadcasting about sex. Roughly two million people marched in Hong Kong on Sunday, demanding her resignation, even though she'd announced she'd pull back from a bitterly unpopular law that that would allow extraditions to mainland China.
