For the first time, the UN says, "systems have been put in place" to break allegations of a culture of fear at the organisation "head on".

Newsnight's UK Editor Sima Kotecha speaks to a former UN senior advisor and a number of female staff who say they were vulnerable to sexual abuse and predatory behaviour.

Last month, the BBC documentary, titled 'The Whistleblowers: Inside the UN,' detailed allegations of sexual abuse, corruption, misogyny and management turning a blind eye to wrongdoing.

This film was produced by Maria Polachowska and Philip Clarkson.
