What message does the case send? We hear from one Hong Kong dissident living in the UK. Three women with links to the jihadist Islamic State group have been arrested on returning home to Australia. We'll speak to the senator who visited their camp in Syria and campaigned for their return. And celebrating David Attenborough's 100th birthday, with a new choral work.
