prediction is that this watershed moment for women, in extolling the courage of women who, like katherine graham, with the pentagon papers, and with her decision to publish or not to publish, so many women have found their voices and they have been given so much support. notjust by other women, but also by certain men. i think this is notjust another news cycle. another news cycle, i think this is a permanent change in the culture. maybe. but as kay graham showed with her courageous leadership of the washington post, exposing deeply rooted corrupt behaviour is one thing — changing it is quite another. will gompertz, bbc news. here on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. welcome to sports day. these are the headlines. from insult to injury, the referee now says he got it wrong. the nba has come to london for the eighth time and the boston celtic league with a win. and that is the liam livingstone. the new face in england's test squad. hello and welcome along to the programme lets start with news that the referee who awarded a controversial penalty which eventually lost northern ireland i

katherine graham made a courageous decision. "the washington post" is a remarkable institution.t was then, it is now. but the first really courageous decision was made by arthur sals burger in publishing them and in letting the reporters spend three months verifying them. his was the most courageous decision. i think i got my back up especially when the producers reached out to me and wanted to talk about how -- how this film was going to portray the new york times. >> which to be fair it did and gave -- >> i haven't seen -- >> you haven't seen it? >> no. in fact, i've been quoted i'm not going to see it, but andy rosenthal, a friend, who's abe's son, i was railing to andy one day and as he often does with me, he said, dean, grow up. it's just a movie. so at some point i'll go see it. >> of course it comes out at this time in history. not only during an unprecedented sort of second phase of a war against the press after the nixon time, but also the me too movement. of course "the new york times" has been dramatic in exposing so much of this of harvey weinstein. >> some of the pr

it's based on katherine graham, who is a real publisher who did something, i think, heroic is a goodah. it was a really important move. at that time "the washington post" was the second paper in washington. the big paper was the washington star, and it was nowhere near "the new york times." "the new york times" got a tip, and neil sheehan, this great reporter, picked it up and they published the pentagon papers. but nixon shut them down. so it came to the post. they found the source, and the choice came whether they were going to defy the court and an injunction and publish. and so it came down to her. she was one of the only women who was in business at that time, and she ran the paper only because she inherited it. >> jimmy: it's funny because i feel like this movie had come out two years ago, our reaction would be, it's unthinkable that a newspaper wouldn't print this information because the president told them not to. but now it doesn't seem so unthinkable anymore. is that a total coincidence that this movie came out now and was made during this administration? >> well, i think,
