Can The Russian People Win Their Fight Against Putin?
Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin mobilised his army - the first time Russia has done so since World War II. As a result, we saw the first signs coming from within Russia that they aren't as supportive of Putin's war as we thought, with thousands of people detained for protesting the draft. In today's episode, The Quicky team looks at what exactly is happening inside Russia and whether the people can fight back against a restrictive and often brutal regime.

Iranian Women's Rage Over The Death Of Mahsa Amini
The death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini while in the custody of the Iranian morality police has set off the rage felt by many women who say the constant policing of their dress code is nothing more than a tool of oppression. So they have taken to the streets, burning their headscarves and cutting their hair to try and show the regime that they are no longer willing to stand by and allow them to control their every move. But will this end with any significant change or will it be like protests of the past where the regime ended it in the worst possible way? Today The Quicky team looks at the wearing of the hijab in Iran and how it went from a being a form of cultural expression to a hated symbol of oppression. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Could A ‘No Body, No Parole’ Law Help Find Lynette Dawson?
When Chris Dawson was finally found guilty of the murder of his former wife Lynette after 40 years, the next question asked was, where is she? Since she went missing in 1982, that's something her family have been desperately wanting the answer to but so far, they still wait for news as to where their mother, sister and aunty's remains lay. But could that change? In today's episode, The Quicky team looks at whether the much publicised 'No Body, No Parole' law could motivate someone like Chris Dawson to give up their victim's final resting place.
