Ronan Farrow: Harvey Weinstein tried to silence me

Journalist Ronan Farrow, who won a Pulitzer prize for his investigation of Harvey Weinstein, says powerful people use "extreme tactics" to quash stories about them.

He told Hardtalk's Sarah Montague: "Harvey Weinstein hired an Israeli firm called Black Cube which is staffed by former members of the Mossad and other Israeli military and intelligence entities. They deployed agents and sub-contractors using false identities and front companies.

"This is how far the wealthy and connected can go to bury the truth," he added.

A spokesperson for Weinstein has previously denied that "any individuals were targeted or suppressed at any time".

Black Cube has previously told the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ that it “applies high moral standards to its work, and operates in full compliance with the law of any jurisdiction in which it operates.â€
