Melinda Gates: Pope and I 'agree to disagree'
Gates Foundation is to donate millions to help provide contraception in poor countries
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is to donate $375m to family planning in poor countries. The Foundation along with the UK government is aiming to increase the provision of contraception to women.
Melinda Gates tells Today why she believes the Catholic Church might change their views on family planning: "I think this Pope sees poverty and sees it for what it really is, he's lived with impoverished families, with women who are impoverished."
