Our correspondent david willis has more. Its great to be making movies in england. To the growing list of hollywood a listers who Harvey Weinstein stands accused of sexually harassing or assaulting, add heather graham. She says he propositioned her, albeit indirectly, during a meeting in his office. A few years after that, Ambra Battilana gutierrez, a former finalist in the miss italy contest, went to the police claiming Harvey Weinstein had sexually assaulted her. She wore a recording device to their next meeting, and the interaction makes for uncomfortable listening. Three women have now accused Harvey Weinstein of rape, an accusation he unequivocally denies, and some of hollywoods biggest names are separately accusing him of unwanted advances, among them Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, ashleyjudd, mira sorvino, and rosanna arquette. We went to his office, and we had a great conversation about his current film. The former actress and writer louisette geiss recalled pitching a screenplay to Harvey Weinstein in 2008. After about 30 minutes, he asked to excuse himself and go to the bathroom. He returned in nothing but a robe, with the front open, and he was buck naked. Weinsteins wife, the british designer georgina chapman, announced last night she was leaving him, in the light of the allegations. As that statement was being released, reports emerged that mr weinstein was making a departure of his own, to europe, on a private plane.

A senior official at kensington and Chelsea Borough Council has told this programme that the system for getting survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire into new homes has probably not been successful.

The spanish Prime Minister will hold an emergency Cabinet Meeting this morning to discuss the catalan president s declaration of independence. Last night Carles Puigdemont said catalonia had won the right to be an independent republic, but he suspended the move for several weeks to allow for talks with the government in madrid, as andrew plant reports. Confusion, consternation, and anger, too. This crowd of people, eager for catalonia to separate from spain, watching as their leader first declared independence, and then delayed taking any action. Translation the government and myself propose that this Parliament Suspends the effects of the independence declaration in order to establish dialogue, without which we cannot reach a solution. For many, it was a disappointing end to almost two weeks of turmoil, that started with a referendum and scenes of police brutality, as spains Central Government declared the vote illegal, their patience with catalonias separate Regional Government now clearly wearing thin. Translation the speech the president gave is that of a person who doesnt know where he is, where hes going, or who he wants to go there with. The government cant accept the validity given to the catalan referendum law, because it was ruled illegal by the spanish constitutional court. So what next for spain . The leader of catalonias Regional Assembly has disappointed many supporters, who wanted an unequivocal declaration of independence. Meanwhile, spains Prime Minister has called an extraordinary Cabinet Meeting to work out a way forward, on an issue where it is increasingly hard to see where any Common Ground can ever be found. An unprecedented ban on protesters outside abortion clinics could be introduced in a west london borough. Councillors in ealing approved a proposal to stop anti abortion groups protesting outside a local marie stopes clinic after more than 3,000 residents signed a petition. The good counsel network, which holds daily vigils outside the centre, denies harassing women. A plan to make the uk the safest place in the world to use the internet is being unveiled today. The governments internet Safety Strategy will include new measures to tackle online abuse and make children safer on social media sites. Heres our Technology Correspondent rory cellan jones. Lego life, a website where children can safely meet and share what theyve built. The government says this is an example of how to build a safe internet experience, and it wants other tech firms to act to protect users young and old from harm. The internet Safety Strategy calls for a new code where social media firms agree to Work Together against bullying and abuse, a tax on the internet industry to fund an awareness campaign, and an annual report where firms reveal what progress theyve made in tackling abuse. Childrens charities have been consulted about the strategy. They say parents need more help from the technology industry. What we find is that parents are being overwhelmed with information. They are getting loads of information, but what they are not getting is help when something goes wrong. And that is really, really important when you think that most children get a mobile phone by the time they are eight years old. This is something that parents of even very Young Children are having to try and deal with. Facebook says its already working with the government to make the online world safer. But the question now is whether the uk can impose a new code on powerful globalfirms. There has been a surge in deaths from heroin addiction across the uk. The number of people dying from heroin or morphine abuse has doubled in five years to more than 1600 in england, wales and scotland the highest number since records began. Four of the uks police and Crime Commissioners have told the bbc they would like to see the drugs decriminalised for personal use. Scientists are working on a treatment that they hope could reduce the number of miss carriages. They are looking into a link between sperm, dna and unexplained miscarriages. 0ne sperm, dna and unexplained miscarriages. One in four couples who find out they are pregnant go on to lose the baby. The Energy Regulator 0fgem has announced they will cap gas and electricity bills for one million customers. Their plans will help vulnerable customers who struggle with their energy bills, but is not as wide reaching as government plans to cap prices for 12 million people. 0fgems proposals will come into effect next february. Thats a summary of the latest bbc news more at 9. 30am. Thank you very much. I have got a couple of comments from you about Harvey Weinstein and the allegations that continue to be made about him, going back decades. Stevie on twitter says, isnt the real story why these women failed to speak out and expose him, thus protecting others from him . Lee says, it is because he had the money to ruin them and hire lawyers and to discredit them and ensure they never worked again. We will bring you an interview from zoe brock, she describes what she says happened to her as a young woman trying to make it in the business and makes various claims about Harvey Weinstein including that she would happily see him in court. Thats coming up, exclusively, her first tv interview in the next few minutes. Lets talk about argentina. Lets talk about argentinam wasnt the campaign they were going for. There was so much pressure going into the same with equador last night. Argentina havent not made a world cup qualifiers, not made a world cup qualifiers, not made a world cup qualifiers, not made a world cup finals rather since 1970. Theyve won two of them. It is inconceivable to imagine they wouldnt be there. When equador scored the first goal in the first minute of the game last night, i think a nation held their breath, but thanks to this man, lionel messi, a hat trick saved the day. They won 3 1 which means they will be heading off to the world cup in russia next year. And we know the result. You can see what that meant to them, of course. This is buenos aires. I think the celebrations probably went on well into the night last night some big names through to russia and some absences. Bring us up to date with everything. Thats right. As you have seen so much happiness for so you have seen so much happiness for so many teams, but disappointment. We saw portugal going through. It was an incredible result for them. It wouldnt have been a world cup without them either, would it . They beat switzerland. Disappointment for switzerland who won their last nine games, but this does mean they are through, portugal and maybe the fan support had something to do with it. Look who was there in the stands last night, none other than madonna. Her son david is training to be a professional footballer. So hopefully she enjoyed that 2 0 result for portugal last night. There has been a huge shock, the United States, they were eliminated last night and that was to do with panamas win, their 2 1 win. That was a controversial game actually victoria. Mostly because of a goal that may or may not have gone over the line, but it does mean that the usa will not be in russia next year which is the first time for them since 1986. But you can see what it means for panama. This isjust since 1986. But you can see what it means for panama. This is just the streets last night. The people reasoning on to the streets there, hugely excited that they are going to make it to their first world cup. What a result for them. Just incredible and actually they have declared a National Holiday, but usa it was a horrible game for them. It was a shock defeat to trinidad tobago. In part thanks to an open goal. And the footballer reresponsible for the own goal spoke after the game of his dipointment. It hit off my shin and it happened to go overtim it hit off my shin and it happened to go over tim howard. 0ne it hit off my shin and it happened to go over tim howard. One of the most unlucky goals ever. I think for myself and its one that will haunt me forever. You have to feel for him though, dont you . The huge celebration that we have seen, it brings you back down to earth when you see that disappointment, but plenty more to come when we get into the play offs though. Thank you very much. Good morning, welcome to the programme. It is 9. 143l. These are just some of the women who have accused one of hollywoods biggest producers and movie moguls Harvey Weinstein of Sexual Assault and harassment. Three separate women have also now accused him of rape. A string of actresses have made allegations about controlling and abusive behaviour behaviour which was known about in hollywood for decades but ignored because he was so powerful he could make or break a career. Mr weinsteen denies the three rape allegations. Angelina jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow are the latest to speak out about what they say happened to them early in their careers. Angelina jolie says in a statement, Gwyneth Paltrow alleged that after weinstein cast her in the leading role in emma, he summoned her to his hotel suite, where he placed his hands on her and suggested massages in his bedroom. This is what Gwyneth Paltrow said. I was a kid, i was signed up, i was petrified. She said she told her then boyfriend brad pitt about the incident, and that he confronted weinstein. I thought he was going to fire me, she said. There probably isnt a Hollywood Star who hasnt worked with Harvey Weinstein. He co founded miramax which produced huge hits like pulp fiction, clerks, the crying game, sex lies and videotape and kill bill. Youve probably seen many of his films. Its said that hes been thanked in 0scar ceremonies more times than god. Though the the allegations only emerged last week, its probably inconceivable that most in hollywood hadnt heard about them. Have a look at what family guy star Seth Mcfarlane and la la land star emma stone say about him during the Oscar Nominations back in 2013. The 2012 nominees for best performance by an actress in a supporting role are. Sally field in lincoln. Anne hathaway in les miserables. Jacki weaver in Silver Linings playbook. Helen hunt in the sessions. And amy adams in the master. Congratulations you five ladies no longer have to pretend to be attracted to Harvey Weinstein. Laughter. Comedian tina fey wrote a joke for 30 rock where one character quipped, im not afraid of anyone in show business. I turned down intercourse with Harvey Weinstein on no less than three occasions. Out of five. Rosanna arquette who starred with madonna in desperately seeking susan says she believed her career suffered when she rejected his advances. Yesterday the new yorker magazine released audio, in which weinstein apparently admits he groped a former miss italy finalist Ambra Battilana, before saying im used to that. Have a listen. Im used to that. He was also a fundraiser for the Democrat Party in the states having raised money forformer president barack obama and last years president ial candidate hillary clinton. Barack obama and his wife michelle released a statement saying they have been disgusted by the recent reports about Harvey Weinstein. And that they celebrate the courage of women who have come forward. Hillary clinton says she was shocked and appalled by the revelations about weinstein, who donated to her 2016 president ial campaign. Harvey weinsten is accused of using nondisclosure agreements and settlements to cover up his behaviour. He has not been charged with criminal offences; two years ago there was a Police Investigation into his conduct. The latest claims to emerge are of rape. Three women have accused him of raping them. In a Statement Released last night his lawyers said any allegations of non consensual sex are unequivocally denied by mr weinstein. Mr weinstein has further confirmed that there were never any acts of retaliation against any women for refusing his advances. Mr weinstein obviously cant speak to anonymous allegations, but with respect to any women who have made allegations on the record, mr weinstein believes that all of these relationships were consensual. Mr weinstein has begun counselling, has listened to the community and is pursuing a better path. That is where the lawyers statement ends. Over the weekend his hollywood studio, the weinstein company, fired him over the allegations and yesterday his wife, designer georgina chapman, said she was leaving him. Some people are supporting him Fashion Designer donna koran says shes standing by him and mean girls star Lindsay Loahn posted this video message on her Instagram Account overnight but its since been deleted. I think georgina needs to take a stand and be there for her husband. Hes never harmed to me or done anything wrong to
