The International Olympic Committee (IOC) says eligibility will be determined by a 'once-in-a-lifetime' sex test, which would prevent transgender women and those with differences in sexual development (DSD) who have gone through male puberty from competing in women's events.

Also on the programme: Should foreign tourists visiting our museums be charged for entry? And the hunt is on in Hampshire for Samba, a nine-month-old capybara, who escaped Marwell Zoo over a week ago.
