Time magazine has named "the Silence Breakers" - women and men who spoke out against sexual abuse and harassment - as its "Person of the Year".

One of two British women pictured in the magazine is political journalist Jane Merrick, who claims she was harassed by the former Defence Secretary Michael Fallon in 2003.

She told Radio 4's PM programme she was "really proud" to be on the list but that "we mustn't allow this to be the story of 2017".

"We have to talk about how we are going to change this," she said.
