Jury selection begins on Tuesday in the retrial of the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, where the original charges of rape and sexual assault will be heard again.

The accusations against the Hollywood mogul were first published seven years ago - sparking the #MeToo movement. It saw a flood of women - famous and not - sharing stories of gender-based violence and harassment.
On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to arts and entertainment correspondent Katie Spencer about why Weinstein is in court again and whether the #MeToo movement he sparked still has the impact it once had.
