In a historic moment for the Catholic Church, women are to vote for the first time at the Synod of Bishops, later this month. Annette Young asks Kate McElwee, the executive director of the Women's Ordination Conference, if we are moving closer to the possibility of having Catholic women priests. Also abortion laws in Argentina are under threat with a far-right presidential candidate declaring if he wins, he will seek to repeal the right to abortion while eliminating the Ministry of Women. Plus Claudia Goldin wins the Nobel economics prize for work on the reasons for the gender pay gap.
