stay with us for that. hello. harvey weinstein, one of the most powerful figures in hollywood over several decades, has been convicted of rape and sexual assault by a court in new york. but he was cleared of the most serious count of predatory sexual assault. he faces up to 25 years in prison. weinstein still faces charges in los angeles of assaulting two women in 2013. dozens of women have come forward in the past few years to accuse weinstein of sexual misconduct, giving women around the world the resolve to speak out about sexual harrassment in what became the metoo campaign. nick bryant reports from new york. harvey weinstein is preparing to spend his first night in prison.

he entered court to face his legal reckoning. guilty already in the court of global opinion and about to be found guilty under us criminal law. how are you feeling, harvey? morning, harvey. he cut a feeble figure during his trial in new york, shuffling into court each day to listen to the tearful and traumatic testimony of his female victims. one time aspiring actressjessica mann described how he raped her in a hatton apartment. weinstein was convicted of two of the five charges against him, of sexual assault and rape, although he was acquitted of the three most serious charges, including predatory sexual assaults that could have sent him to prison for the rest of his life. it is not the top counts in the indictment, but by no means am i disappointed with the jury's unanimous statement that harvey weinstein is guilty of

sexual assault and rape. harvey weinstein showed little emotion as the verdicts were read out that then kept on muttering, ulvm out that then kept on muttering, "i'm innocent," to his lawyers. then he appeared dumbfounded as he was placed in handcuffs. on the steps of the courthouse, some of the women who now feel vindicated. the lawyer, gloria allred, who's been campaigning for decades on the half of victims of sexual violence. courage is contagious, and i hope the courage of my clients resonates all around the world so women know the change is possible beach change has come today. where you thinking about testifying? during the trial, harvey weinstein chose not to testify, but his defence team claim the sex was consensual, citing warm e—mails and other communications with his female accusers that continued for months after the attacks. the cards were stacked so much against him before we even walked into this courthouse. since october,

2017 when the first magazine articles came out, it's just ridiculous that there's been such a crosshair on his back. this is a dramatic fall for the king of hollywood, a mogul who acted like he owned the red carpet. but above all it's a master moment for the #metoo movement. this globalfight for justice has found #metoo movement. this globalfight forjustice has found an ally in the us criminal court. the women have been heard. he said one thing, but it is what she said that mattered. the people versus harvey weinstein, history as her story. nick bryant, bbc news, new york. weinstein still faces charges in los angeles of assaulting two women in 2013. sophie long has been there getting some reaction. i think it's hard to overstate just how important this verdict is for any woman in this town, and there's many of them, who stood up and said #metoo. i been speaking to some of

the silence breakers this afternoon who spoke out about his behaviour and they say it's a verdict they welcome but it didn't go far enough. you have to remember how powerful harvey weinstein was. this is a man who really rules the film industry here for many decades but women here say he left a legacy of broken careers and broken lives behind him, a whole history for which he should be held accountable. so for them, this is just the be held accountable. so for them, this isjust the beginning, and theirfight forjustice this isjust the beginning, and their fight for justice will continue. after harvey weinstein has been sentenced in new york, their fight will come here to a court room in los angeles. fears are growing that it won't be possible to stop the global spread of coronavirus. health experts have warned that the chances of containing it are diminishing as cases appear in more countries. most infections are still in china, but there are a number of significant clusters elsewhere. around 77,000 people have been infected in china

where the virus emerged last year. there have been nearly 2,600 deaths. south korea, which has the largest number of confirmed cases outside china, has more than 830 cases. eight people have died. iran says it has 61 cases of the virus and that 12 of those infected have died. and in europe italy is the worst affected. more than 220 people have tested positive for coronavirus and there are six reported deaths. 11 towns have been put into quarantine to try to contain the virus. in a moment, we'll bring you the latest from our correspondents in china and south korea, but first, mark lowen reports from italy, from the town of codogno, south—east of milan. they try to halt a virus as they cannot see, scrambling to contain the invisible. behind the barriers, more than 50,000 people are quarantined as cases rise and so do the deaths. italy has europe's worst coronavirus outbreak, the third highest in the world after china and south korea.

translation: we're following our instruction, blocking roads and asking people not to leave their homes unless absolutely necessary. this is the exclusion now on the road to codogno, the centre of the outbreak. you can see them stopping all the cars trying to enter here and others trying to leave. it depends whether they have the authorisation as to whether they can pass through. the carabinieri and military are deciding whether to widen the exclusion zone in an attempt to control the coronavirus spread. for some, old worldly methods of sending supplies to a cut—off town. tino delivering face masks to his sister stuck inside. she's grateful, they've have run out there. we were sent pictures from a pharmacy in codogno, serving anxious cues. bongiorno, andrea. and the man who filmed them told of a growing sense of fear.

translation: we feel abandoned. the news we get comes through whatsapp and facebook. there is a lot of full rmours around. are people panicked? yes, people are panicking. some convince themselves it will blow over. others are worried and cannot sleep. in nearby milan, the cathedral which has withstood 500 years is closed. schools and universities are shut off and in supermarkets, panic is spreading quicker than the virus and it too is hard to stem. mark lowen, bbc news north italy. fear has driven thousands in daegu into a panic buying frenzy. they queued for hours, even sprinting to the back of the line in the hope of getting a face mask. but some had to leave empty—handed.

translation: this is the first time we have been out of the house in three days and we could not buy more masks. elsewhere, it is eerily quiet, only a few stallholders had decided to open. translation: i've been working in this market for 40 years but i have never seen anything like this. most residents have decided to stay indoors as officials raced to find those who have been infected. there are no travel restrictions in place for now as you drive through the worst affected areas, the local government sends alerts. detailing virus hotspots to avoid. that's the kind of thing we have been getting. we've got another one coming? each message has detailed notes of confirmed cases nearby. meanwhile, medics on the front line battle on. doctors sent us these images to show

us the kind of caution they're taking while treating hundreds of patients. in north korea, they claim to have no cases of coronavirus after they sealed their border with china injanuary. all 380 foreigners in the country have been quarantined. experts fear an outbreak in this secret state where millions are malnourished could be catastrophic. back in the south, there is a sense of urgency. officials say the next few days will be crucial if they're to prevent this outbreak becoming an epidemic. laura bicker, bbc news, daegu. china is going all—out to contain the virus. this is an infection control squad in training. but there are still questions over its early response, and the silencing of medics who tried to raise the alarm. the public anger hasn't gone away.

here, a man films as doctors attend to his mother. but they can't save her. later, he films as a funeral car arrives. "the government thinks we're foolish, they say it's a natural disaster," he tells me. "but it's actually caused by humans. " "if they'd warned us in time," he asks, "would so many people die?" the world health organization, though, was full of praise for the actions china has taken. china has rolled out probably the most ambitious, and i would say agile, and aggressive disease containment effort in history. to what extent do you think cover—up and censorship played a role in allowing this virus to accelerate at the rate it did? i don't know. frankly, i didn't look at that. i'm just being completely honest. but what worries me most is, has the rest of the world learned the lesson of speed? once china had woken up to the danger, that speed,

the rapid quarantining of cities and the shutting down of the economy, appears to have worked and is now being held up as a model for the world. as the virus was allowed to spiral out of control in the province of hubei, it spread in smaller, but significant pockets to every province in china. this is the picture of a disaster. and it forced the government to act. and here's what happened. the official figures show that in hubei, although the numbers are still high, they are stabilising. and for the rest of china, even better news. the numbers kept low by those containment measures, and if we have a closer look, for more than a week now they have been falling. china's been so effective the world health organization says it's now safe to get the economy going again. welcome news on this farm. "with the roads all blocked, of course it's brought sales down", wei hongkun tells me.

if china's control of information helped start the crisis, its control over its people might help solve it. but how many other countries might really be able to replicate this? john sudworth, bbc news, beijing. in the uk, although more than 6,500 people have been tested for the virus. so far, just 13 have tested positive, including the four cases who were aboard the diamond princess cruise ship injapan, who've now returned home. medical correspondent fergus walsh explains how people can best protect themselves from coronavirus. the new coronavirus spreads through droplets in the air when infected people cough. so, if you're just a few feet from them, you could breathe in the virus. if you touch an infected surface and then rub your eyes or mouth, that can also pass it on.

it's why regular hand—washing is important. none of us has any immunity to this virus, so if there is a major outbreak any of us could catch it. but it's worth stressing that it causes only a mild respiratory illness in four out of five people, who'll get better without any medical treatment. the symptoms begin with a fever and a dry cough. the older you are, the greater the risk of complications, such as shortness of breath and pneumonia. especially for those with underlying health problems such as heart and lung disease and diabetes. the biggest viral threat at present is seasonal flu, which causes thousands of deaths in the uk every year. if we get small, limited outbreaks here, we could see the same sort of quarantine restrictions that

are being tried in other countries. school closures are possible, as are the postponing of sporting fixtures and other public events. anything where large groups of people congregate. but if we get cases popping up all over the country, then locking down communities won't be possible. instead, the focus will be on getting people to self—isolate. the longer we can keep this virus at bay the better because with the warmer weather, there's a chance that cases might start to dwindle. the headlines on bbc news: disgraced hollywood producer harvey weinstein weinstein is found guilty of rape and sexual assault but cleared of the most severe charges against him. italy on lockdown — a surge in coronavirus cases there and elsewhere in the world prompt fears of an international pandemic.

a man has been found guilty of murdering a pensioner by shooting him with a crossbow outside his home in anglesey last year. the victim was lured from his house late at night after the killer disrupted his television signal. police recovered tracking data from a burnt out car. more from our correspondence. trained in martial arts, terry whall promoted himself in videos as an expert in hand—to—hand combat but to kill his elderly victim he chose another lethal weapon. from close range he fired a single bolt from the crossbow he bought online. it tore through 74—year—old's gerald corrigan‘s organs, the injuries were fatal. the police say they still don't know why the retired lecturer was targeted.

gerald corrigan was a victim of a barbaric, medieval—style execution, in one of the safest parts of the united kingdom. gerald, a pensioner, lived in a tranquil and remote location with his disabled partner, marie. he was entirely innocent. the law on crossbows... the murder prompted an appeal to the then prime minister. ..any member of the public, who has any information about what happened to get in touch with the police. the police discovered that whall had lured his victim from his remote home on the anglesey coast by tampering with his satellite dish as gerald corrigan watched tv. terry whall denied being at the house, and the car he used been torched, destroying the black box recorder. but he was caught out by modern technology, the land rover discovery,

similar to this one had automatically uploaded all his information. telematics can reveal notjust where a car has been but when the engine is turned over and which doors have been opened and shut. everything is transmitted as it's happening, it's all stored in the cloud. but i do not think they realise the information is being sent in, theyjust use car as normal and they don't know the companies are gathering that information. after a five—week trial, the jury found terry whall guilty of murder. his victim's family have called on him to finally reveal his motive. hywel griffith, bbc news. two severe flood warnings — meaning there's a danger to life — are in place along the river severn in shropshire. in shrewsbury there are fears that flooding could reach its highest ever level. while in ironbridge people have been asked to leave their homes because of warnings the river may go over flood barriers. our correspondent sian lloyd has the latest. the flood defences at ironbridge, protecting this historic town from the rising waters of the river severn.

but there are fears they may be breached. people living nearby have been warned to leave their homes. ian donnelly is one of those who's heeded the advice and has checked into a local hotel. for safety reasons, we've come here. fingers crossed, touch wood, we're not flooded. but we'll find out when we get back to our house in the next couple of days. river levels reached a 20—year high in nearby shrewsbury earlier today. business owners like anda teller, determined to keep going. it was like a horror film. the water just started to pour through the walls. her guesthouse has suffered £30,000 worth of damage. it's devastating. we haven't got any insurance. we met with the insurance company ten days ago, who said they couldn't get us cover any more. that it was a nationwide problem with commercial properties, that they weren't offering it. where there were flood defences, they held.

but those who took a chance parking their cars here were caught out. i've come down here today to move my girlfriend's car, because i told her it would be safe to park it in the car park. it's the red one over there. are you going to be in trouble? yeah, i'm not moving it! tonight, protecting ironbridge is the priority. sian lloyd, bbc news, shropshire. a jury has been shown cctv footage of the manchester arena bomber, in the days leading to the attack. salman abedi was filmed looking around the venue days before he killed 22 people and injured hundreds more in 2017. he was also shown unloading a heavy suitcase containing bomb making materials. his brother, hashem abedi, is on trial at the old bailey accused of helping to plan the attack. he denies all the charges. president trump has started his first official visit to india, addressing tens of thousands of people at a rally in gujarat, the home state of the indian prime

minister narendra modi. the countries agreed a defence deal worth $3 billion, but there is no sign of the long sought—after trade deal between the two nations. our correspondent rajini vaidynathan sent this report. for the billionaire president, a humble introduction to india — spinning cotton where mahatma ghandi once sat. this wheel became a symbol of gandhi's movement to make more goods in india. a message echoed by today's protectionist president, and indian prime minister narendra modi. despite months of negotiations, the pair are unlikely to sign a trade deal, for now. for now, the visitors' book will have to do. but one thing mr trump will take home is goodwill. here in india, he's popular. hi. namaste, trump! namaste, namaste! yeah, he's a nice man, he's a friend of india. their bond is strong. these are the images prime minister modi wants the world to see.

india—usa relations are no longer just another fantasy. america loves india, america respects india and america will always be faithful and loyal friends. and with his family watching on, the president praised india's cultural heritage. except it didn't all go to plan. as the great religious teacher swami vive—kumun—nund once said... for the property developer turned president, who once built a taj mahal casino in atlantic city, a visit to the real taj mahal with the first lady. but away from the beauty, ugly scenes in delhi. deadly clashes and demonstrations over the government's citizenship law, which critics say marginalises muslims.

as the violence continued, president trump arrived in delhi. tomorrow, he will meet prime minister modi for talks. the issue of religious freedom, now expected to be on the agenda. rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, india. sir mo farah repeatedly denied to us anti—doping investigators that he received injections of a controversial legal supplement to try to boost his performance ahead of the 2014 london marathon. but interview transcripts obtained by the bbc‘s panorama programme reveal that farah later changed his account to investigators, saying he'd forgotten. the programme also reveals new allegations about mo farah's former coach, alberto salazar, who is now banned from the sport for doping violations. mark daly has this exclusive report. mo farah's of a marathon on in 2014. two days earlier he had been given injections of a supplement which wasn't recorded on his medical

them he had in fact received an injection ahead of the marathon. the records kept. and you would ask why? clearly, if he is taking medicine to enhance performance there are ethical questions that raises. i think this is something that should be looked at in some seriousness. lawyers for mo farah said the injections were well within a cce pta ble injections were well within acceptable limits. he asked mrfides and immediately returned to clarify and immediately returned to clarify and it is plain his investigators we re and it is plain his investigators were comfortable with the explanation. before the injections we re explanation. before the injections were given, e—mails show uk officials athletics worried about whether it would be safe or in the spirit of the sport. barry fides flew to switzerland to collect the sample from a contact of salazar‘s. i'm shocked. you kind of go, what was that all about? and you are an

employee of uk athletics. uk athletics, why would you allow one of your staff to do that? uk athletics said a small number of athletes have used the substance in accordance with anti— doping protocol. mo farah split from alberto salazar but questions persist. mark daly, bbc news. and you can see more of panorama's investigation, mo farah and the salazar scandal on bbc iplayer. katherine johnson, mathematician whose calculations helped put the first astronaut on the moon, has died at the age of 101. she worked for decades on the american space programme and her story was told in the film, hidden figures, about a pioneering team of black women working at nasa. nina nanji reports. so grazed was katherinejohnson's methyl genius that colleagues called her a methyl genius that colleagues called hera human methyl genius that colleagues called
