Life for Afghan families in hotels, women and green investing, toxic relationships and how to break free of them and libido in middle age.We talk to an Afghan family housed in one of the many hotels which have become home for thousands of others like them. Many families and children often struggle to exercise which has an impact on their physical and mental health.
BBC producer Sue Mitchell a keen swimmer is working with them to enable them to be able to make use of hotel and local authority swimming pools to to help them while they wait for news about permanent accommodation, benefits and education. With COP26 being held in Glasgow next week we talk to investment director, Maike Currie to talk about why sustainable investing matters more to women than men, and how you can invest to save the planet - and make it a better place.
In the second of our series, our reporter Milly Chowles looks at toxic relationships and talks to Jo who felt compelled to always seek out ups and downs and drama. And we talk about late life libido with Scottish storyteller, Marie Louise Cochrane and sex expert Tracey Cox.

TraceyCox Chloetilley Did the host really say earlier that if (women) no longer want to have sex that it's fine as long as they and their partner is happy with that choice? 'If both of you are happy not having sex, that's fine.' So must women have sex if their partners aren't 'fine' with it?
TraceyCox Chloetilley Why is it always the woman who has to 'fix' things, or 'find solutions'? I've completely gone off sex, and would happily not bother with it ever again. My husband would like our sex life to be as it was in our 30s. While I do sympathise, it's his problem, not mine.
