In her first TV interview, Harvey Weinstein's former assistant, Zelda Perkins, speaks out on why she wants gagging laws to be changed, and why she has broken her nondisclosure agreement two decades after signing it. The BBC asked Mr Weinstein for a response to the allegations. His lawyers said Mr Weinstein categorically denied engaging in any nonconsensual conduct or alleged threatening behaviour. Miramax had no comment.

The interview was produced by Lucinda Day.
