in a dangerous situation. easterly wind as well. temperatures for sure, men need to be part of it, 9 degrees lower in the top. the best some of these things and so many are walking happened in full day time, of the sunshine per scotland and along side already. so you might as well be in a group or not drunk or rowing a boat, i think that there is northern ireland and northern england but feeling a little cool it is still going to happen. a before and after #metoo. the very fact that i have made this documentary is the proof of it. here. speaking to these girls gave me hope but, only two days later, women around the world are i heard their exhibition had been vandalised twice. on the move and a change is coming. so has the #metoo movement really maybe the french will do it failed in france or has differently to the brits, it changed anything? brazilians, indians or nigerians, across town, i meetjohanna daghorn, but a sense of empowerment has been a sociologist whose work focuses unleashed and it will be on women's behaviour in urban areas. very hard to stop it. she has been conducting some research to find out whether #metoo had an impact on street harassment. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: the prime minister looks for ways to bring her eu withdrawal agreement back to the commons for a fourth time. it is been a decent start to the i think what we have to do is to make sure that we deliver weekend across much of england and

wales with not a great deal of cloud on the will of the people of the referendum. around, plenty of sunshine, that is we have to keep trying, how the day panned out earlier. and that is what people voted for. it was warm and that spring put it at the end ofjanuary and lost by the largest ever majority the government was defeated sunshine, temperatures reached 20 in parliamentary history, put it back again then again celsius in greater london, but the and is now going to apparently try wind of change is blowing and as we again next week. headed to sunday those temperatures this is beyond ridiculous. today is the deadline for public sector bodies, in the capital dropping by nine with more than 250 employees to declare the pay difference celsius. the cooler weather is brought about by this cold front between their male and female workers, but thousands haven't yet done so. that has been pushing southwards bringing that colder air into northern ireland and scotland and as thousands of palestinians take part we go through this evening and in protests on the border between gaza and israel to mark overnight that weather front will a year since weekly continue to push southwards so cloud demonstrations began. and rain working into wales, the mick jagger is forced to postpone the upcoming rolling stones tour midlands, east anglia, the of the us and canada south—east of england. the cloud as he needs medical treatment. stopping things from getting too cold though for most of england and and down and out for huddersfield town, who are relegated wales but the northern england, from the premier league northern ireland and scotland called enough of frost. frost will become widespread in scotland. and a after they lose at crystal palace. reminder, overnight, those clocks go now on bbc news, the metoo movement forward meaning for most of us and oui’ forward meaning for most of us and our less impaired unless you are a spread around the world

sunshine but plenty of showers for on other issues. north—western areas. those showers on this journey back home, are wintry over the hills and it i question my own culture, my own people and myself. will feel really cold across north—west areas with temperatures i want to understand what has influenced our response to the #metoo movement and how some are resisting change. 6-7dc. why am i doing this documentary? i'm french and i have been living in london for a while now. i guess sometimes it is only when you leave that you can see things differently. but what if i told you that everything you think you know about france isn't quite true? would you believe me? i'm not here to betray my country, but i'm a woman and, like many others, i have been harassed and i have witnessed the #metoo movement unfold in france and beyond.

and, unlike many, i am lucky to have the voice and to tell stories for a living, so let me tell you take you on this journey where i try to find out the roots of sexism in france. and even if you are not french, some of it might sound familiar. in 2018, marie laguerre was was cat—called by a man who passed her on the street. because she answered back, he turned around and started to verbally abuse her. but she wouldn't back off and this is what happened next. i decided to put it online because it was solid proof of what happened to me and of what happens to every woman. it was also solid proof that what us women have been saying, that we are sick of the guy who harasses us in the street and some people say, "oh, we can't hit on women any more". this is proof that it has never been

about hitting on someone, flirting. it has always been about domination because, if you say no, you can get punched. marie laguerre‘s video got millions of views on youtube and soon she got all the media attention. despite the video, many people didn't believe her. i started getting hate messages. "he should have killed you". "if i see you, i will break your jaw". "i will rape you". i cannot count how many messages i received off people questioning my whole story. typical women stereotypes — everything we do, we do it for attention, we have nothing to say. some criticised marie for how she was dressed, implying she was too provocative. not so surprising, either. we french women pay attention to what we wear, but not necessarily because we are fashion victims, but because we know we will be judged for how we look and, potentially, become targets for harassment. the main place women worry about this is the street and public transport.

a study for the high council for women's equality in 2015 revealed that 100% of women using public transport in paris have at least once in their lives been victims of sexual harassment or sexist comments. young women are particularly affected. in more than 50% of the cases, aggressions happen before they are 18. another woman who knows about insults is sandra muller, a french journalist based in new york. she was one of the first to invite women to denounce sexual harassment by sharing their stories on twitter in french.

the hastag #balancetonporc got a lot of traction in france and became known as the french version of #metoo. however, speaking out had consequences. sandra had named her harasser in her tweet. sandra was then attacked personally, with a deluge of hate messages. actress catherine deneuve is one

of 100 well—known french women who have signed an open letter defending the right of men to make sexual advances. in this open letter, which was published in the french magazine le monde, miss deneuve and the other writers have warned of a new puritanism... and when that happensed, the movement that seemed to bring together women around the world took a different tone and became debateable in france. anne—elisabeth moutet, a french journalist, signed the open letter. what we do condone is the way people find themselves subjected to a kind of one—minute hate multiplied ad infinitum on social media. they lose their jobs, they lose their livelihoods. there is no due process or legal process in any way and the sentences are harsher than anything that a court would think up. the open letter shocked the world and fragmented the debate in france. a few days later, brigitte lahaie, and ex—porn star turned radio presenter, said in a tv debate that it is possible to physically enjoy rape.

after that, signatories of the open letter turned against her. catherine deneuve has apologised to victims of sexual assault who were offended by a letter that she co—signed. .. while the movement was impacting french society with many women and men supporting the liberation of women's voice... ..french media took hold of the debate and instead focused its attention on the condemning aspect of the hashtag. some men also got involved in this conversation and felt threatened about what they saw as a witchhunt. so how did it go so wrong? what is it lost in translation? was the tone wrong? but what about simone de beauvoir? back in the 1940s, her bestselling book, the second sex, became a reference book forfeminists

around the world. it seemed hard to believe that, in the country of simone de beauvoir, the french philosopher who shocked the world with her revolutionary gender theories, things had got so bad. i'm looking at the roots of sexism in france. i admit, so far, i'm confused and i need some help, so i'm going to meet experts on the matter. first stop, michelle perrot, the french voice of authority when it comes to women's history.
