This city and los angeles are the twin capitals of americas giant movie, media and entertainment business. A business that has been rocked by allegations of systemic sexism, misogyny and abusive behaviour. My guest today is ashleyjudd, the actor and activist and one of the first women to go public with her accusations about the mega producer Harvey Weinstein. What began with voices of anger and pain has become a movement, demanding radical change. How far can it go . Ashleyjudd, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you. In recent weeks and months something quite extraordinary has happened. Kickstarted, i suppose, by the allegations concerning Harvey Weinstein and what we see now is the growth of a Real Movement of women speaking out. Are you satisfied that this has come about or are you deeply frustrated that it has taken so long for this to come about, what is your overriding emotion right now . Joy just unmitigated, electrifying joy. I am so happy. I am so happy its is here. I have been tellin

Now its time for newsnight with evan davies for three decades, weve persuaded ourselves we dont need to fight other countries that war had changed, it was all about insurgents. Well, is it time to change our minds . Russia, ithink, could initiate hostilities sooner than we expect. And a lot earlier than we would in similar circumstances. I dont think it will start with little green men. It will start with something we dont expect. Britain is set to have a new Strategic Defence review this year. The generals are making the case for more money. So tonight, well take a good look at what our defence is for. And well hear a view from the us, too. What do they think our money should be buying . Also tonight they say attack is the best form of defence, which explains why the ukip leader is out to fight his rebellious colleagues. I shall respect the next steps in the constitutional process, and will therefore not be resigning as party leader. We tried the men in grey suits, perhaps its now tim
Midnight in london, and 8 00am in beijing, where the british Prime Minister, on her visit to china, has forecast a golden era in trade relations. Theresa may says she has won assurance that beijing will further open up its markets to the uk, but has also been forced to insist that she is not a quitter, following days of criticism of her leadership from her own supporters. Our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg is travelling with the Prime Minister. Even the most carefully planned entrance can go a touch awry. A bit of pushing and shoving not the political kind, this time. Asias red carpets, though, hardly provide a rest. Theresa may is here to do business, but the tories are trading in her future at home. She, envious perhaps of that kind of discipline, is trying, well, as she might say, to get on with the job. Although i may be visiting in winter, i have had the warmest of welcomes, for which i am very grateful. But, to get things done, leaders have to be able to lead. The Prime Minist
Its 9am in singapore, 1am in london, and 9am in seoul, where, days before the start of the winter olympics, some of the athletes have been taking part in warm up matches. Not a big deal, but when its a team made up of north and south koreans, the world takes notice. A joint womens Ice Hockey Team played a friendly against sweden. Its being seen as a sign of reconciliation. Laura bicker reports from seoul. Fierce and determined, the korean players head onto the rink to prove they are notjust pawns in a political drama, or an experiment in sports diplomacy. They fight hard against high ranking sweden, willed on by a crowd eager to witness a piece of history, and waving the flag of a unified korea. Translation i was so touched. Ifeel so good because i felt the passion of the players, and it felt like we were one together. It was very meaningful to all of us, and especially for my son, it was a very meaningful event. But this teams formation has been controversial. The south korean hockey
