Kaye Adams gets to the heart of the stories making the news, offering the listeners the opportunity to have their say. Why are women still not being paid as much as men?

Martina Navratilova has told 大象传媒 Panorama that John McEnroe was paid at least "10 times more" than she was for their commentating roles at the Wimbledon tennis tournament. The former Wimbledon champion appears on tonight's Panorama special on 大象传媒 One. 'Britain's Equal Pay Scandal' looks at why, almost 50 years after the passing of the Equal Pay Act, women are still not being paid as much as men?
