you wanted to talk about this story, rose mcgowan suing harvey weinstein, and this was a massive storyg now? harvey weinstein is happening now? harvey weinstein is trying to stop rose mcgowan from publishing her men now and to silence her, —— publishing her memoir. this fits in with a pattern of books published by people including the new york times reporter who exposed him. on top of the crimes of sexual harassment and rape allegations was a culture of silencing through things like nondisclosure agreements. things that people are sometimes forced to accept. absolutely and often the way the legal system works, it is often their only choice and women feel pressured to sign these peace agreement that many of the victims did because it was easier than going out again someone of his stature. he also employed an israeli organisation, kind of intelligence and security operation, to essentially spy on the reporters in the hopes of getting to their sources, and again silencing these women. yes, it is another lawsuit against harvey weinstein but it exposes this big cultural problem that we have

it seems your big breakthrough is rose mcgowan where she had $100,000 settlement and that was concreteand weinstein or the company had paid her right? >> we were basically able in the course of our reporting to show that we were able to trace the financial trail of payoff that had been made so the secret settlements that have been used to basically hide the truth to allow people like weinstein to cover his tracks we realize if we could on earth the fact that the settlement had been paid over the years that that would be evidence into itself so we were able to track down settlements that had stress from 1990 and 2015 and a variety of ways in which we were able to document. rose mcgowan was just one of many. >> among the wonderful lines in the book you say knowing about documents is good but having seen documents is excellent but actually having copies is a celebration. >> you know what that feels li like. [laughter] when was the first time you actually got or saw documents that showed women had been paid off to be quiet? >> i go to london that summer to meet a former miramax assistant w

rose mcgowan is one of many. >> month the wonderful lines in book you say, knowing about documents is good. having seen documents is excellent. but actually having copies is a celebration. right. >> you know what that feels like. >> now -- when was the first time you actually got or saw documents that showed women had been paid off to be quiet? >> i sought it -- guy to london, that summer to meet with zelda per kips a former miramax assistants who had a settlement, and megan is like basically eemoji techings me to the plain. she said you're going to see the paper. go get em. >> she is the coach. >> well, we -- even in the scenes in the book where it's really one of us sort of doing something, we're both really to there because we're preparing before hand, we're strategizing, et cetera, and so when i laid eyes on the papers the clauses were so shocking, bob. they went beyond a kind of standard settle immigrant agreement. these very young women were -- settlement agreement. they legally overpoured and they were essentially prohibited from talking about their open life experiences. if da

i talked to his producer, i talked to rose mcgowan.alked to many harvey weinstein victims and accusers and was getting to the bottom of what nbc knew while i was there. and then just independently. the question is what did they know about matt lauer prior to the time the woman came forward who was ultimately his downfall? she came forward. her name is brooke nevils. made an allegation against matt lauer and the companies whole defense to ronan's book essentially has been that's the first we knew about matt lauer. there was no deal between us and harvey weinstein to cover up for harvey weinstein so that he wouldn't report on matt lauer. because we didn't know that matt lauer was doing this. we had no notice of it whatsoever. >> tucker: is not a plausible claim? >> if they had no settlements of any kind and no complaints about matt lauer prior to brooke nevils coming forward, sure, it might be. but is it true? here is what they are saying. no settlements of any kind. no settlements. that's illegal sleight-of-hand. you can get paid out as

. >> three actresses, rose mcgowan, ashley judd, gwyneth paltrow not in communication with one another, barely knew each other told us these terrible stories. >> and at this point they were not on the record. >> so far off the record. >> that is what is in a positioa position because it created this because on the one hand there is while these are high-value forces and their stories are very convincing and other stories matchethe storiesmatch , none of them are ready to go on the record so what do we do. >> what did you do? >> we basically realized that it was going to have to be broken with evidence and not just with -- we sort of had a theory that maybe we could persuade actresses to hold hands and thrust together and have safety in numbers but together because we couldn't tell them who else we were talking to it was hard to get them to do that and then also if we did that it may have still created like a traditional he said she said dynamic where the story would have sparked a debate -- >> so into making this different because that is your goal. >> we realized right away we were goi

rose mcgowan was getting intimidated legally and was frustrated with nbc slow-rolling the story for monthsled out. the moment that happened, emily nester said i will record my interview again, had previously been in shadow, full face. the executives here were not interested in that. so it included a combination of interviews in shadow, which we do very often in our investigative stories, including ones that i've aired on this network, and also full-face, on-the-record accounts that were very explosive and ultimately were part of "the new yorker" story. >> when nbc news told us tonight -- again, i think this might be an unprecedented statement from them -- "we very much wanted to break this story, which is why we assigned it and supported it editorially and financially for seven months. we are profoundly disappointed that we weren't able to do so." now that might sound like an expression of feelings, i will say that inside the building, that expression of profound disappointment that the story didn't get broken here is meaningful to me because i feel like i've been waiting to hear that, but

rose mcgowan's public accusations helped spark the #metoo movement two years ago.y an exhibition opens in the louvre in paris to mark the 500th anniversary of leonardo da vinci's death. as lucy williamson explains, it also shows us a new way of looking at one of the world's most famous paintings. scientist or painter? leonardo da vinci is often seen as a universal genius, but this exhibition suggests his insatiable curiosity was all about creating the perfect image. and it offers a new scientific way of looking at his paintings as well with a specially created a virtual reality experience around his most famous work. the mona lisa. da vinci spent the last few years of his life in france and the louvre already owns five of his paintings, including the mona lisa. more than any other institution in the world. they have used new technology to reveal the different layers of his key works, some of which took 15 yea rs key works, some of which took 15 years to create. you can change the form of the composition, but also the iconography of the competition —— composition. t

actress rose mcgowan has filed a lawsuit against harvey weinstein, his ex—lawyers and a private intelligence. ms mcgowan was one of the first people to accuse mr weinstein of rape in 2017. she claims mr weinstein and his team conspired to discredit her after they heard she was writing a book. and take a look at these pictures from california where more than half a million homes and businesses are facing powers cuts this week — as wildfires rage in the state. the kincade fire, which is being driven by strong winds, has so far engulfed more than 10,000 acres of land. hundreds of people have been ordered to evacuate. let's return to the big story here in london: british prime minister says he will give mps more time to debate his brexit deal, if they agree to a 12 december election. 0ur uk political correspondent helen catt explained the thinking behind borisjohnson‘s latest move. we have seen him try and get one through the house of commons twice and failed to do so, so his general argument is that this is a parliament thatjust cannot agree on brexit, it cannot agree a way forward, so he needs

they said they were ready to have women go on the record, ready to do an interview with rose mcgowan.: their sight is pretty persuasive in terms of the side that they have and what they locked down. why would nbc care if the harvey weinstein story came to light? why would they be against that? >> what nbc is saying because i do have to present both sides, they were saying the story was not ready to be reported, that's why they did not want the weinstein story to go forward. what ronan farrow and his course the mogul of hollywood and did not want nbc toedly struck a deal of sorts with him not to report on him at all. noah oppenheimer who was the president of nbc also a screenwriter, ronan farrow this is what he claims alleging what nbc did not want to upset harvey weinstein. he goes further to say it's all full circle intertwined with matt lauer. he said this morning on "good morning america," he says he carefully weighs us out in the book but all signs point to it was a tangled web that was all woven together that harvey weinstein basically threatened that he would spill the beans abo

the story of rose mcgowan is an important threat in is book.fe to the point she thought this person was her best friend. judy: one of the central threads was what you say happened at nbc news where yound s a number of months working on this story. what they are pushing back on your narrative is -- they said many months to work on the story and at the end of the time you were there, you did not have a single source willing to go on the record. and that is the reaso they were not allowing you to go forward with your reporting. >> i the reportithe book is we always had multiple t namede. women story. we had a tape of harvey weinstein admitting to certain actions. we were fighting to get that on air. that is not the point. this is a company thatrdered a hard stop on reporting. six times the president of nbc news ordered a sp to the porting. it suggests with documentation and a paper trail that thiss a company that had a lot of secrets.ot tea p of secret settlements. and had a knowledge of predation of exposure at the time. threat judy: you are refe

it was initial early conversations with actresses like rose mcgowan that began to tip us like rose mcgowanish button in october 2017, we had no idea what was going to happen. but within hours a day our e—mails and phones were being blooded with women coming forward with their own story subsection harassment and abuse. it was not just inuit, this was across the united states and eventually around the world. at that point, with a woman wanted to remain anonymous? i am interested at what point do you persuade a big hollywood balanced article on the record how do you do that? or did you? which i too explain the process, because we want people to believe that even at a time and everything else was stuck in the nature of truth can feel like it is collapsing, backs and journalism and brave women's voices can actually work. so, there are two categories of women, the famous actresses, we brought ashleyjudd, gwyneth paltrow, angelina jolie onto the record, but a lot of people, even at uk, do not know that there we re even at uk, do not know that there were women with much more everyday lives who wer
