US Gymnast Simone Biles Feeling "Broken" over Sexual Abuse
The Olympic gold medalist accused her former team doctor of abuse.
The Olympic gold medalist accused her former team doctor Larry Nassar of abuse in a Twitter post with the hashtag #MeToo. Former gymnast Rachael Denhollander who also said Larry Nassar abused her, believes a statement from such a high profile athlete could help others.
Also, the thirteen young people in California chained to their beds in squalid conditions are being cared for in hospital and French President Emanuel Macron is expected to outline a new policy to deal with the hundreds of migrants still camped at Calais.
