Today's video story: Earlier this month Pakistan's Council of Islamic Ideology made a recommendation saying that a man could "lightly" beat his wife. Although not legally binding, the proposal sparked outrage in Pakistan.

Shaimaa Khalil spoke to the head of the council, to ask him why he had made such a proposal.
