Kim Phuc
Kim Phuc - the Vietnamese girl in the photo - talks about her life.
The image of Kim Phuc as the young girl, running naked and terrified down the road after a napalm attack, arms outstretched, screaming with her skin badly burnt became one of the iconic images of the Vietnam War. That one photograph did a huge amount to influence public attitude to the Vietnam War. Kim almost died from her burns but as she started to recover she became a tool for communist propaganda. Now 37 years old she recalls what happened to her during the attack and the influence of that photo on her life.
Irish jazz and folk singer Mary Coughlan performs in the studio and talks frankly about her addiction to alcohol that almost killed her.
Plus, are women GPs unfairly burdened by female patients? And, will new lottery money improve the performance of England鈥檚 women cricket club?
