Amber Heard's lawyer speaks to The Briefing

In today’s Briefing we look at a perverse twist of Me Too. The wave of abuse stories has come with a wave of defamation lawsuits.

London-based barristers Jen Robinson and Keina Yoshida have written a book called How Many More Women detailing the way the law and the media has held back justice for sexual assault victims.

The book, out today, is about how and why laws must change to protect women who are brave enough to speak out against their attackers.
