The government has rejected some of the key recommendation of a Treasury committee report into sexism and misogyny in the financial services industry. Our equality reporter Olivia Konotey-Ahulu brings us details of the government's response.

We discuss what it means for attitudes towards issues of violence against women and broader equality with Sophia Moreau, deputy leader of the Women's Equality Party.
