Lyse Doucet talks to the renowned Filipino-American journalist Maria Ressa about her crusade to combat β€˜fake news’ and her ongoing battle with President Duterte.

The renowned journalist Maria Ressa first interviewed Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte in the 1980s – her media career was just beginning and he was the then mayor of Davao City. More than 30 years later, the two are still crossing swords. Ressa is now on a crusade to combat the β€˜fake news’ she believes Duterte and others spread on social media. She's facing charges of fraud, tax evasion and cyber libel, in what her supporters believe are revenge prosecutions.
