this is newsday on the bbc. i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore. i'm kasia madera in london. our top stories: harvey weinstein, once one of the most powerful men in hollywood, has been found guilty of rape in a case that sparked the ‘me too' movement. health experts say the chances of containing the coronavirus are diminshing as the number of affected countries rises to 37. let's take a look at some front pages from around the world. the japan times leads on the coronavirus. fears of a pandemic grew on monday as deaths were reported in iran, italy and south korea. similarly, the new york times also focuses on the outbreak.

it's having an effect on the global tourism industry. countries close to china are particularly affected. and the strait times features a story on mahathir mohamad. just hours after resigning as malaysia's prime minister, he was appointed as caretaker prime minister. he will continue to lead the administration until a replacement is appointed. let's have more now on the guilty verdicts in the sexual assault trial of the hollywood movie producer, harvey weinstein. 0ur correspondent ben wright has been monitoring the case in new york. these are very serious convictions that do come with hefty custodial sentences. harvey weinstein convicted on two counts, the first criminal sexual act in the first degree. that is the most serious of the two charges in terms of the sentence attached. that could be anything from five years to 25 years in prison. he was also convicted of rape in the third

degree and that could mean a sentence of four years. it is certain that the 67—year—old former hollywood movie mogul is going to spend a very long time behind bars, infact going to spend a very long time behind bars, in fact he is in prison already, any lenient thing he had was cut dominic tucked out the window and he now has to wait until the 11th of march to find out what the custodial sentence will be. this isn't the end of it? he still faces other charges in los angeles? it is by no means the end. i think there is talk of civil cases, there is certainly a pending criminal trial set to take place in california at some point. also again involving accusations made by women who have encountered harvey weinstein over the years and he faces very serious charges in that case, too. i'm not sure when it

is set to begin, but that is looming for hemmant. i think it is such an important day for the women, the survivors who gave testimony in court, often harrowing testimony about their encounters with harvey weinstein, and they have received relieved support across social media from women, many of whom have also alleged sexual harassment by harvey weinstein, like ashleyjudd, for instance, who tweeted, for the women who testified in this case and walk through traumatic hell, you did a public service to girls and women everywhere. thank you. and there are many similar sentiments on social media. malaysia is facing political uncertainty following the resignation of the country's long serving prime minister mahathir mohamad. the 94—year—old's surprise move comes amid speculation that he may form a new coalition without his designated successor, anwar ibrahim. following his resignation,

mr mahathir was asked by malaysia's king to stay on interim prime minister until a new government and prime minister is appointed. it is not clear who will be the next prime minister. i asked 0h ei sun who is a senior fellow of singapore's institute of international affairs, what will come next. i think what will happen is mahathir mohamad will serve as interim prime ministerfor a period of time, during which i think both he himself as well as his clinical opponent will try to put together a workable parliamentary majority, so that for example he will become the real prime minister or that his political opponent mr anwar will become one. so i think the race now is to put together as many numbers of parliaments as possible. where does this leave mranwarand his possible. where does this leave mr anwar and his supporters? possible. where does this leave mranwarand his supporters? is this really has last chance to

become payment dominic from minister, which is a role that has eluded him for 20 years? mahathir mohamad is dead set against mr anwarfrom mahathir mohamad is dead set against mr anwar from taking power, and from anwar‘s side he is perhaps a little bit anxious to ta ke is perhaps a little bit anxious to take over as soon as possible. that is why you see the sort of, in a sense, i would described it as a type of coup. not a traditional coup d'etat, but a effort to unseat mahathir mohamad. thousands of fans have attended a memorial in los angeles for kobe bryant. the legendary us basketball player died in a helicopter crash last month, along with his 13—year—old daughter gianna, and seven others. the service was held at the staples arena, where kobe bryant played for the la lakers.

beyonce performed with a choir, and wore a gold suit, the colour of the los angeles lakers, bryant's team for two decades. among the speakers was kobe's wife vanessa who spoke of losing two of the people most dear to her. god knew they couldn't be on the earth without each other. he had to ring them home to have them together. —— bring them home. you take care of our gigi. 0ur correspondent, david willis was at the memorial service in la. 0nly moments before this memorial service got under way came word that vanessa bryant had filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the company that supplied the helicopter that supplied the helicopter that kobe bryant and his 13—year—old daughter were travelling on at the time of the crash. the lawsuit claims
