Episode notes

Crispin Odu is best known for being a larger-than-life figure. He has cultivated excellent relationships with lots of national newspapers. Eight women alleged that he had sexually assaulted them, and the remainder said that they had been sexually harassed. The sexual harassment largely came in the office and was frequently aimed at the receptionists.

France is drumming up support for a global levy on greenhouse gas emissions from the shipping industry, and former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has died. Plus, an explosive FT investigation exposed sexual misconduct allegations against prominent financier Crispin Odey.
