An anti-sexual harassment hotline will be set up for the Cannes Film Festival next month after disgraced Hollywood tycoon Harvey Weinstein was accused of attacking actresses at the event.

The French “equality minister” Marlene Schiappa said movers and shakers would be warned about their behaviour when they arrive at the world’s biggest film festival on the French Riviera.
