On VJ Day we hear from Patricia and Jean Owtram who both served their country while their father was a prisoner of war in the Far East.

We discuss the findings of the BBC Sport Elite British Sportswomen's survey 2020 published this week.

Karen Maine tells us about her new film Yes God, Yes about 16 year old Alice growing up a Catholic and attending Catholic school in the early noughties in the American mid-west.

Plus as President Alexander Lukashenko is re-elected in Belarus, we talk about the woman who challenged him.
