Could the Russell Brand case change the age of consent? | BBC Newscast

Today, we hear from Sunday Times chief news correspondent Rosamund Urwin, who was one of the journalists to break the Russell Brand story.

She’s been talking to Mia Latter, who’s waived her legal right to anonymity to discuss allegations that Brand raped her when she was 16, and call for a law change around the age of consent.

Latter’s allegations were not part of Brand’s recent criminal trial, in which he was convicted of rape and three counts of sexual assault, but he had denied Latter’s allegations before that.

We also hear more from Alan Milburn ahead of the publication of his review into out of work and training young people, and look ahead to a week in which a UK-EU deal could be agreed.
