Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch's highly-anticipated new thriller series The Day Of The Jackal premiered on Sky this week.

The 63-year-old defendant, who has a particularly troubled personal history, gave a series of confusing explanations on Wednesday before the criminal court in Avignon.

An Australian advocacy group for older women's rights says they sent Gisele Pelicot the silk scarf as a marker of solidarity as she attends the trial of 51 men accused of raping her.

The scarf was sent to Pelicot by the Australian Older Women's Network, an organisation working to raise awareness of sexual assaults on older women.
