Hollywood is abuzz over a lawsuit brought by actress Blake Lively against her co-star and director Justin Baldoni. 

Lively claims in a lengthy filing that on the set of their film It Ends With Us, Baldoni engaged in sexual harassment and then tried to smear her after she raised concerns about his behaviour. 

US correspondent Richard Arnold tells Tim Beveridge the complaints were graphic in nature and Baldoni’s representative has called the actress’s claims “categorically false”. 

Meanwhile, a US navy plane has been shot down over the Red Sea, marking the most serious incident to threaten troops in over a year of America targeting Yemen’s Houthi rebels. 

Both pilots were recovered alive, with one sustaining minor injuries. 

And, Lara Trump has withdrawn from consideration to replace Marco Rubio in the US Senate. Arnold says it’s not clear what has gone into her decision and it will be Florida Governor Ron de Santos who names Rubio’s interim replacement.
