4:00 pm
the, the picture to the news life, a bullet hobby wind stains, new york conviction over tons. new york's highest score portions to 2026. by his conviction against the displaced hollywood producer, he brings the latest and spectators gather outside the us. supreme court waiting for donald trump's appeals that he should be immune from prosecution for actions during his time as president the
4:01 pm
. i'm going to expand it. you're welcome. we begin with breaking news. coming out of the united states by the state of new york's top quote, has overtime movie mogul, how the vine students conviction on 6 crime charges, including rip, you know, $4.00 to $3.00 decision. the new york court of appeals ruled, but vine street was not given a fair trial. it said the judge who presided over the case improperly allowed testimony from witnesses whose accusations were not part of the charges against fine stain. let's get more from jason kemp of doing your nbc news and i had radio in los angeles. that's where he works. jason, why has how the weinsteins conviction been overturned? and so basically what the lawyers have argued was that it was an absolute hit piece on harvey weinstein. that the judge in that case, allowed testimony from women who alleged sexual assault by the movie mogul. and
4:02 pm
they had nothing to do with the actual case. so is a smear campaign against harvey weinstein. the appeals court sought their way and they have now decided to order a new case, which i think is going to be interesting in the coming weeks. what done this rather from the new york? a supreme court be appealed it can be and what will happen is now there's going to be a whole new set of rules write a whole new trial. the women who testified it in the case may be allowed to testify again if they choose to do so, which you know, it's opening up a whole new bag of trauma and everything else. what i also feel is going to be really interesting is if weinstein will take the stand himself. there were rumors that he was going to take the stand and the new york case and against, against his lawyers opinion. they decided to say, hey, like,
4:03 pm
let's just let this play out the way it is. but if weinstein takes the case, i think it's going to be very difficult for him to get on the stand and say, look, you know, these women wanted it. and this is what happened in the hotel rooms and in my office and whatever else and you know, the green rooms, wherever i. okay. and then it was consensual, that's a very difficult, you know, mountain decline. but that is until the next trial. and what happens until then because he's got to be in prison, is he essentially a free man? no. say no, he stays in prison and he will stay in prison until the next time that he has to go to court. he was convicted in los angeles in 2022 of sexual assault, sentenced to 16 years behind bars. they, they may extradite him from new york to los angeles. just, you know, kind of shuffling inmates around. nothing newsworthy there, but he instead of staying in new york, he could stay in los angeles where i believe he lives. that's where his home is. so
4:04 pm
it'd be closer to family, closer to probably as lawyers and things like that. uh, closer to also the weinstein production company, which is still around. how is this uh, product going down in the movie industry at the moment as well it's, it's sending shock waves. uh, you know, the me to movement is still very active in hollywood. and here in los angeles, this is where most of the actors and actresses live and work. so to have somebody like a polarizing figure, like harvey weinstein basically, you know, hey, what he did was justified, or what happened may have been conceptual, or whatever. it really is, and it struck ways because a lot of a lot of actors, americans is built their celebrity on the need to move. right. and so now what does that do? that will be interesting to see. and we'll see if uh, there'll be some big stars that come out today. reese witherspoon, who is one of the major proponents behind the meet to movement. she may come out
4:05 pm
and say something, maybe some of the other actresses that a ledge, sexual as an assault from our, everyone's team may come out and say something. so it'll be interesting, like i said, in the coming days to see who's willing to come out and say, what, in a grievous error, this is or you know, or whatever. but it's definitely uh, water to your topic for the next couple of days. do you talk to us a bit about the alleged victims? i mean the victims who reported in their fast case and we'd have to testify again. is that quite clear or is there going to be aware on that? so i'm sure there's going to, they'll be given an opportunity to tell the story again. but do you really want to relive that? you know, if you're a sexual assault victims, you're gonna have to go in front of the cameras. you're going to have to go in front of the judge, go in front of your abuser alleged abuses. and i don't know if women or even
4:06 pm
a sexual assault victims would want to do that, just open. they want to do that. so it will be interesting. i'm sure that they will be given an opportunity, but sometimes in these kinds of cases they, we live testimony, but that's kind of the eclipse of the appeal is that some of the testimony that was given was by women will lead sexual assault. but we're not involved in the actual case. so it'll be interesting to see who is allowed to testify and who's not allowed and who they are. just take, you know, off camera deposition, there's a or out of court room depositions were leave it there for the timing. thanks so much for joining us today. jason kept that down. yeah, thank you. and run a reluctant donald trump at times to a new york city courtroom says day as he is harsh money child resumed. at the same time, the us supreme court hearing arguments in washington over whether he should be immune from prosecution for actions he took during his time as president the
4:07 pm
history making set of allegations. last august, former president trump was charged with 4 accounts of conspiracy and instruction by the justice department, special council jack smith today. and then dining room was on sealed. charging donald j trump, with conspiring to defraud the united states, conspiring to disenfranchise voters state, conspiring and attempting to obstruct an official proceedings. but trump legal team argues who should be protected by presidential immunity. the claim, many legal experts are skeptical about he doesn't have any text in the constitution to rely on, and that's significant because the constitution does grant and unity explicitly to members of the legislature. but it doesn't mention the president, according to his lawyers from who is acting within his official responsibility was president when he ledger lead tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election. they say no president and us history was ever prosecuted for his official act. and
4:08 pm
neither should, from what the case goes beyond, followed from if the supreme court ruled that the president doesn't have immunity from prosecution, many fear it could open the door to criminal behavior and office to have the president, the above the law and be able to commit crimes well in office would make our whole system vulnerable to dictatorship because the president could use the power of his office to subvert the vote. to subvert checks on the system like impeachment, and to try to remain in office past the end of our term. the stakes are high and the mere fact that the supreme court is hearing this case now is significant. even if the justice is here and to see reject terms, arguments. the procedure does by him time and many think. but it's exactly what the former for us, but once the supreme court is unlikely to decide before june, meaning that trump's trial will be further delayed, possibly bringing on until after the november election in case of an election
4:09 pm
victory from codes, theoretically order the justice department to drop all cases against him were not there yet, but the possibility does little to dial down tensions in the run up to the presidential elections. washington bureau chief municipal is outside the us supreme court. it's good to see you. tell us more about the significance of this case and the significance is extremely high, not only for donald trump, but also for the united states. as we just heard of this report, it's really like going down to the basics of a democracy. if a president or a former president would not be able to be held accountable for what you did and there's, it's interesting, it is kind of the status and kind of here in front of the supreme court where many, many colleagues from media, from all around the world are covering 2 days historically the supreme court is off
4:10 pm
to all. it's really just a couple of 100 meters away from the capital just across the street for january 6th to place the riots which were encouraged by donald trump officer. all. so everything is really, i know, very close spots here today, and there's historic day in the history of the united states and a book for the main. if a trump uh, we use the case and also the next presidency as well. it's very unlikely that he's really uh when the case, but critics say that you know, way already a wanted why? because uh, the see the supreme court to good on and i believe that the court ruling will be further. the lights are delayed and very likely it will not happen before the election and prayers in case you read, elected people become the next president again, then we of course,
4:11 pm
would try to do any signature stopped at these cases against him and kind of make it impossible that she will be held accountable for what you did. sure. this 1st as easy as i know it's really hard because the somebody is hurting you as you speak of thanks so much for being as that information. just one other question. if crump news is a still stands to benefit from the test of the wow, yes, uh it says, uh, just try to explain. it's because the core drawing will be d like. and that will make it much less likely that you will be convicted. and that of course, will have a huge implication on the election on the electoral. and of course, also what you would be able to do if you would be re elected then would be the next president of the united states relief at the time being en espanol. uh,
4:12 pm
thanks so much for the doors despite been take those continuously there. thanks. so much i kicked out some other stories making headlines around the world more than 50 people have been killed in beaks of flooding. in kenya, torrential rains have brought lots of the capital liability to a standstill in time neighborhoods, underwater and thousands of flipped their homes to seek shelter. the heat sorts of getting dozens in thailand with extreme temperatures recorded across se, asia of thought of things in bangkok, a warning of dangerous conditions. schools have closed for millions of children in the philippines and buttoned up. there's the united nations as cold heat stroke, asylum to kinda the blades of the windmill at the moment on who is 911 bodies have broken off just months before the city hosted in big games. it's not known what caused the collapse, but no one was injured. french president, a bundled buckle, has warned that europe to die unless countries unites to face the challenges. if
4:13 pm
a change involved across stress of the continent must take responsibility for its own sovereignty by strengthening its joints defense and relying less on us support . speaking of the soul, born university and privacy also said the victory for your brain against prussia is key to future your up in security. the and the call one, your must stop rely too heavily on ex donna resources. excuse cut, this is everything that strategically important. we have delegated energy to russia, but fronts, but several of apartments have delegated the security to the united states and other critical interests also to china. we must take them back. this is what strategic autonomy is all about having so many studies. us officials have confirmed a few cram, has begun using long range and decided secretly shipped in recent weeks. the weapons were used for the 1st time in a stripe on the russian air field in crimea. last week. the all me talk to me so i
4:14 pm
of systems are talking well thought of the 300000000 dollar us age package approved in march. washington previously supplied mid range versions of the system. the latest batch construct targets 300 kilometers a weight to god in germany. the faults of tentative germany potty is fighting to contain a scandal involving it stop candidate for june's european elections back to begin cry. a member of the gulf in parliament was already on the investigation for suspicious links to russia and china. but any of this week, one of his aides was arrested and accused of spying for china. it's the latest in a series of image espionage incidents in germany. judging by the number of reasons, arrests, you could get the idea. gemini is royce, with spies on tuesday or thursdays, announce state arrested in a default, right,
4:15 pm
jim and member of the european parliament maximilian cross. man is accused of relating information about discussions in the european parliament to chinese intelligent services and spying on chinese opposition. figures in germany ground, they couldn't steal nicely on solution and cannot accept espionage against us. no matter what country it comes from. that's why it must be discovered and those responsible must be arrested and brought to justice. the recent arrests in this country and elsewhere show we are quite successful in doing that. school does test on monday free gym and next those also, he suspected of spying. for china, we're detained in a separate case, prosecutors or legs, the trio sent information to bay. james intelligent services about jim and technology with potential military uses and illegally exported a laser to china. but it's not only china is suspected agents who appear to be active in germany last week to russian german nationals were taken into custody on
4:16 pm
suspicion of spying. for most of the keys, the closing attacks in germany, and it undermining berlin's military support the ukraine. the men were allegedly also seeking to target u. s. military facilities for the names i few and yeah, many years now. i've been aware that russia has been engaging in major activities here in germany, even before the war in ukraine was already tilting about in france level similar to that of the cold war. the whole thing is of course intensified even further with the rushes attack on your credit intensive. you must go dismissed. the allegations saying there's no proof of a link between those arrest is russia. aging also rejects claims that was involved in espionage nonetheless. so many arrests, initial time will fuel fios at home. the gemini is a top target before in spikes and all by change. but it's a good idea to be collected at the job and fall a minute to begin. a lawmakers have been discussing the fact that the spine cases,
4:17 pm
both the german democracy, lots of they've been saying, this is what why we heard from the time. so he was somewhat restrained because they're ongoing proceedings. the gloves were off here in parliament today, where the fall, right? a of the policies that accused of essentially being a traces to germany, we saw the interior minister site, those cases, those other arrests of spies and pointing out to the far right a if the that there is an independent judiciary here in germany because we have 2 things going on have, 1st of all, we have pretty much all of the policies except the a, if the saying is now we can see out in the open what you are all about to work with the author retiree in the machines to create one here in germany, this a force of being aimed at the top 2 candidates on the european election, this of the fall, right? a if d and then you have an, a f
4:18 pm
d policy defending itself. and alleging that there was a narrative against it, that things were stacked against them with the interior minister today empowerment pointing out that these are independent investigations. and that the timing cannot be seen as a, as something that is calculated. so we have an f d that doesn't really want to stick to its own candidates anymore, which it comp removed from the list. so the post is going up next to me and call the top kind of, we're going to be and loans of the you election campaign. and you have on the other hand, i'm pretty much all the other m. p 's here, crying, filed against the if the and stressing that in the end of that the state state and the judicial system will catch up with them on lawmakers wing up a any measures in response to these spies. campbell's,
4:19 pm
well, i have the chance to speak to some of them individually, including a member of the committee that controls germany's intelligence services and design pretty much is that they want to see legal proceedings play out. and, and that's the most important take away here politically, is not just the, if the being so exposed and potentially we can in the polls were all eagerly await . and the next pose coming out. but at the same time, a wake up call for gemini, and also the public to become more conscious of the threats that are out there in this do political struggle unfolding very concretely here. now, a between democracies and also are it's harry, in states, in the form of spying and spies, b quote. this will very much be something that remains within the public debate and the hope of the side of the government. and that this will also help it in the
4:20 pm
future in explaining what's it say, really there for the time being. but thanks so much for joining us. do that. you put a ticket at that. you feel like your stuff, thanks so much. funding now to the war in gods are israel says it's planning a ground defensive against the city of rough or despite intense international criticism. these running government claims that most of our mazda is remaining forces hiding out and rough uh, in southern gaza, by more than a 1000000 palestinians are shifting. satellite images show rows of tents that were not the earlier this month. unconfirmed reports, the israel has bought 40000 attempts to accommodate those displaced in any assault. i spoke to sam rose, director of planning as well, but you an aid agency for palestinians. i asked him whether i should monitored and disaster can be about it. a fence, there are things having me on look,
4:21 pm
i think any shape or form in which a large scale operation, military operation takes and rough. it will have absolutely devastating consequences for the almost one point. 5000000 people who have been seeking refuge here for the past several months. however, it is done. we said that the implications will be absolute, the catastrophic, for population that has already gone through so much. yet, despite what you say, isabel appears committed to cutting out this operation showed israel have a re think. is that what you're saying? i think we as a human to turn organization, we as part of the human a turn community and we're interested in that you're going to turn well being of that population. we call for an immediate cease fire for immediate release of hostages on front end to this. uh so this blood shed. and this how that people have had sup, put up with we, uh, yes we, we call for it system. we is the human,
4:22 pm
it's our and community have very little influence on not directly, but we call on those that do have influence. so do everything that they can before . it's too late. yeah. with the largest and operation that's working in the cause i have you seen all being told of israel's plans to evacuate people from rough uh before near offensive. we personally as unremitting myself. no have not been sold. we are not policy to those discussions. we read the newspapers, we follow the satellite imagery as you all we had the announcements from the is really or for us is we understand that it may be a minute, but there is still time not to go ahead with it. but no, we are not potty to any of the timing on this side. speaking of side lip satellite image or any of that satellite images that have appeared of the tents that have come up in southern gauze. do you know who put them up? and if they are,
4:23 pm
for people who might potentially be evacuated from rough. uh i do not know. i have not seen that sense. personally, i've seen the satellite imagery. we can only assume that these are people who will be effectuated. i can see them on your screen right now, but as i said, it's hard to see impossible to see how this can take place, how this can happen without major humanitarian consequences, major, suffering, major loss of life. we're talking about human beings. if you've already gone through so much temporary camps, so obsessing a flooding garza with a basic human beings, they simply cannot hold up with this. we see the pictures as you've seen them now. but know, personally, i kind of, i kind of very, i find myself a better this board has continued for about 7 months now. if i'm not wrong, what would you say about the similar evacuation plans that have been implemented from time to time and various spots of gaza? have they actually worked they, they haven't what?
4:24 pm
no, i mean what does the objectives that have been a cheese people have left with out anything they've left a short notice. they proceed leaflets from the ad's having them to move. within a matter of hours, we saw that in gospel city back and in october we store it and ross there and we saw it with this check about approach that was taken several months ago. so. so know these may give people time to move, but there is no west states to go to. we've all seen the repulse. we've all met the people whose relatives have been killed. we know all, but we have had people who been killed on that way from one spot. so another, as they've been directed to by the auth, or as he's being being killed on, on, on the way. so no, there is no safe place to go in as people are headed into an of a smaller area, it will become the more distant looked in terms of the conditions that, that facing, on our ability as a few minutes our and community to deliver the aid on the supplies that they need
4:25 pm
and for them to get to watch the sanitation to the health care of the food and the shouts of which will keep them alive. some are just one final questions and you're bad in rough. uh, what are people in rough uh telling you attending one about uh, what could be coming their way? waking up as they have done now for several months with feelings of dread, with c, a with resignation for what, what comes next. i mean, it's awesome. now i, this is mike, the, the visit and the overtime. you know, people, people get used to the most horrible circumstances of life somehow gets back not send to normal. but like progressive slightly, people are reading the thoughts of, of having to move again. they just want this mountainous, they just want this situation to come to an end bring the need, but there for the time being. the thanks so much for joining us today as i'm role as director of, of planning at one rob joining us from rough uh in the gaza strip. thanks so much
