Today, we discuss Gisèle Pelicot, whose ex-husband has been jailed for 20 years after drugging and raping her, and inviting dozens of strangers to also abuse her over nearly a decade. Dominique Pelicot, 72, was found guilty of all charges. He was on trial with 50 other men, all of whom were found guilty of at least one charge, although their jail terms were less than what prosecutors had demanded. Outside the courtroom, Gisèle gave her "profound gratitude" to supporters and said she believes in a "better future" for women. Adam is joined by Newsnight’s Victoria Derbyshire, BBC Paris correspondent Andrew Harding, and BBC online journalist Laura Gozzi to discuss today’s convictions and the impact of the trial for women’s movements across the world.

Russia's war in Ukraine has spawned linguistic peculiarities that would mean little to outside observers.
So we decode the Kremlin's military jargon for you.

That was the sound of Giselle Pellico arriving at the court in the French city of Avignon on Thursday morning.
She was surrounded by friends, supporters and campaign, and she was arriving to hear what sentences would be handed down to the 50 men who would be found guilty of raping her after her husband drugged her and arranged for those men to come round to their house.
He was also sentenced today as well.
And because we're doing this episode all about that story, I should warn you that you may hear some distressing details in this episode of Newscast, Newscast, Newscast from the BBC.
