Twitter has apologised to women attacked by "trolls" on the microblogging website, as it updated its rules on abusive behaviour.

The social website’s UK general manager Tony Wang on Saturday posted a series of tweets saying abuse was "simply not acceptable", after Britain's police said they were investigating allegations made by eight people.
