We talk to the boss of Netflix about the future of entertainment.

People in positions of power cannot escape the rule of law.

Those were the words of the prosecutor at the International Criminal Court as a long-awaited hearing began to determine whether the former Philippine president, Rodrigo Duterte, should face a full trial.

The 80-year-old is accused of crimes against humanity over an anti-drugs crackdown which he oversaw while he was in office, in which thousands of people were killed.

Duterte has spent nearly a year in a Dutch detention centre after being arrested in Manila and flown to The Hague.

His decision not to attend the hearing has angered the relatives of those who died, with dozens of protesters outside the ICC as the hearing began.

We will be here in the ICC.

We'll be here every step of the way until we get justice, until the police chiefs are there, until we see the changes that we want to see in the Philippines.

But Mr Duterte's lawyer says he maintains he's absolutely innocent and the charges against him are politically motivated.

Howard Johnson, who was the BBC's correspondent in the Philippines at the time that these alleged crimes occurred, was at The Hague.

I saw bodies on streets as a result of this drug war policy.

I interviewed Rodrigo Duterte in 2017 and asked him about these so-called extrajudicial killings.

And he said to me in a very fire exchange that he said that he wasn't responsible for the killings themselves.

He said that ordering the killing of drug addicts didn't mean that he was culpable for the deaths themselves.

that we were seeing on the streets.

I met his right-hand man, Senator Bongo, who crushed my business card in his hand.

That was the reputation of the BBC in the country at the time.

And we also had an exchange once between a lot of his supporters online after I made a documentary about Rodrigo Duterte in which I received hundreds of messages threatening him

all sorts of things like death threats, following me on the streets.

So this was a very threatening time to work in the country as a journalist.
