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

Last year, his convictions on those charges, relating to allegations dating back to 2006 and 2013, were overturned due to concerns that the judge had made improper rulings.

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 Sky’s arts and entertainment correspondent Katie Spencer about why Weinstein is in court again and whether the #MeToo movement still has the impact it once had.
