    Intrusive interrogations, the shame of dishonourable discharge, criminal convictions that impacted their lives for years. This is what many LGBT people who served their country were subjected to. That is, until 12 January 2000 - exactly 25 years ago today - when a long-standing ban on LGBT people serving in the military was lifted.

    Katherine, who was sexually harassed while working as a senior personal assistant for Harrods in 2005, says many women were, understandably, “too scared to come forward” while the documentary was being made.

Andrew Tate is accused of pointing a gun in a woman's face and saying "you're going to do as I say or there'll be hell to pay" in court docs from the UK civil action against him. Tate denies the claims. Was great to work with @lucymanning on this story: https://t.co/RrJXRZOMk1

Gazan men have told the BBC they were subjected to chemical burns, beatings, sexual assaults, dog attacks and electric shocks while detained in Israel. Extremely disturbing testimonies, reported incredibly thoroughly by @alice_cuddy. https://t.co/K37xLbMJzC
