Intersex people in Germany now have legal recognition. We look at why it鈥檚 not possible to accurately determine the sex of one in 2000 newborn babies. Campaigners say a decision on determining the sex of a child should be delayed until the child is older. They welcome the German ruling as giving rights to people who do not readily fit the two genders of male and female.

Rwanda Healthcare
Rwanda鈥檚 healthcare system has been heralded as a great success. We speak to health minister Agnes Binagwaho about the system widely seen as a model for others - both in the developing and industrialised world.

Eradicating Rabies
And eradicating rabies in Latin America. In recent years there have been very few cases of rabies transmission from dogs to humans. An effective dog vaccination campaign has reduced cases to a handful. Now medics are hopeful that human cases will disappear completely. The disease is still endemic in wild animal populations, but they say an effective continual vaccination campaign will prevent its spread.
