Are you shocked that educated Hindu women in India are aborting female babies? Plus author Shrabani Basu talks about her new book. And later, potty training your kids.

At 1, Are you shocked that educated Hindu women in India are aborting female babies?

New research by the University of Bristol says up to half a million girl babies have been aborted in India every year. You may not be surprised by that, but the statistics show it's mainly educated and wealthy Hindu women who are choosing to abort their baby girls. Does that shock you? What needs to be done in order to stop this practise? Is there anything wrong in only wanting boys? And do you think this issue affects us here?

After 2, Nihal will be speaking to Shrabani Basu about her new book 'Victoria and Abdul - The True Story of the Queen's Closest Confidant'. A very interesting listen, make sure you tune in.

At 2.30, Is potty training one of the hardest things a parent will do?
Is four too old for a child to still be in nappies? How did you get your kids out of the pull-ups and on to the bog?
