Nuala McGovern is joined by former Mother of the House and now chair of the charity the Fawcett Society, Harriet Harman, who wants to set up a Women’s Caucus made up of female MPs. We also have political reaction from journalists Rachel Cunliffe and Caroline Wheeler.

The French film industry has been under the spotlight in recent months after allegations of sexual assault and harassment by women against directors and actors.
