Challenging Andrew Tate

This is Andrew Tate's first television interview with a major broadcaster since being released into house arrest from police custody in Romania in April.

Andrew Tate has denied fuelling a culture of misogyny and defended his reputation in a combative interview with the 麻豆官网首页入口. When the 麻豆官网首页入口 put a range of allegations to him - including specific accusations of rape, human trafficking and exploiting women, for which he is being investigated by Romanian prosecutors - he dismissed them. When pushed on whether his controversial views on women harmed young people, the influencer claimed he was a "force for good" and that he was "acting under the instruction of God to do good things".

It's his first television interview with a major broadcaster since being released into house arrest from police custody in Romania in April.

Mr Tate, who has repeatedly expressed his mistrust of traditional media, has a huge following online but his views have, until now, gone unchallenged in a direct interview like this. The interview had no set conditions.

For 5 Minutes On, the 麻豆官网首页入口's Europe Correspondent, Lucy Williamson, talks about why it's important Andrew Tate faced challenging questions.
