US news veteran Rose suspended

US news host Charlie Rose, above, is the latest public figure to be felled by sexual misconduct allegations, with broadcaster PBS halting distribution of his nightly interview show and CBS News suspending him following the accusations by eight women.

The women, who all worked for Rose or tried to work for him, accused him of groping them, walking naked in front of them and telling one that he dreamed about her swimming nude. Rose, 75, said he was “deeply embarrassed” and apologised.
