attempted homicide charges but he's acted intentionally. for the incident is still unclear. both mars and in northern has a population $7000.00 all they wanted was to celebrate carnival at the rose monday parade instead a day of horror when a 29 year old man drove into a crowd of onlookers apparently a deliberate act. for them drove right into the crowd at full speed i had the feeling he kept accelerating people flew up into the air like paper a few seconds of deathly silence and then they all started screaming homologous mean my classmate was driven into he has an injured foot and a concussion you know. more than 30 people were injured some seriously several children were among the injured police say the suspect is from folk marzan himself they plan to interview him as soon as his condition permits begin from the we're
6:03 am
not assuming an attack but we do think it was an intentional act we don't yet know the background the investigation isn't far enough along to say anything about a potential motive thass estate premier appeared moved. 5 days after the terrorist talking how now of course it's in the back of everyone's mind my god not again but my advice is that we remain calm doesn't help anyone if we all start speculating wildly that's a police canceled all carnival parade state wide following the incident authorities have set up an information hotline and appealed to eyewitnesses to send them photos and videos and to not post them anywhere else but rebecca stout in my eyes and. rebecca what what can you tell us. well so far police have said that 30 people were injured this afternoon in the forty's recently said that at least a 3rd of the people who were injured. our children. police earlier said that around
6:04 am
7 people sustained serious injuries as you can see behind me and on the scene where this occurred this afternoon police and forensic investigators are still on the scene and they're still gathering evidence they're still searching through the car which is that which is still which is behind the barriers that are beside me here they're still gathering evidence and this is definitely still a very active scene. so i haven't had a chance to speak with anyone there at the scene. i did in fact there were a couple of locals who had come to to inspect and see what was going on most of the reactions what i've heard so far people it's just been it's been shock people wearing their carnival costumes people who would intice a painted a much happier day that's turned into a deeply tragic and a deeply tragic event for for this town i spoke to one woman who said that her 5

year old son almost got hit by the car so she told me that she and her that her ex-husband and her 5 year old son were standing right behind me over here on the corner where she said that they go and stand every year right next to the supermarket to watch the town's parade she said they saw something moving out of the corner of their eyes and that hurt somebody pulled her son back by the hood at the last 2nd and that he did not end up getting injured but the children around him dead including this woman's niece and nephew a 9 year old and an 11 year old who she said sustained injuries but have since been released from the hospital so it's absolutely an atmosphere of bewilderment and shock here. and now that police have confirmed that they are assuming this was a deliberate act people will obviously wonder about the motivation do we know anything else. authorities have not commented further on any
6:06 am
possible motive they are working off of the assumption off of things that eyewitnesses said that the driver of the car accelerated before before hitting the crowd 2 people have been taken into custody one of them is the 29 year old who is from this town and who is the driver a 2nd person was taken into custody who is believed to have filmed the incident but police are not sure yet whether or not they are possibly involved or they just happen to happen to film the event the incident. that's. why our reporting from germany to the us nowhere new york jury has handed down the most hotly anticipated verdict off of me to era i would produce a hobby weinstein has been found guilty of felony sex crimes after a trial centering on accusations by 2 women weinstein was convicted of rape and committing a criminal sex act but acquitted of the most severe chacha against him he faces up
6:07 am
to 25 years in prison when he is sentenced next months. it was his last day of freedom for the moment the 12 jurors found harvey weinstein guilty of 2 with the 5 charges against him the jury found the former hollywood producer guilty of rape and sexual assault. 2 years ago production assistant maybe haley accused weinstein of having forcibly performed oral sex on the women have the right to say no. and there was no regardless of good circumstances. and i told her you know jessica a man accused of going steen of rape here the jury found him guilty of 3rd degree rape and determine that he didn't use physical force but did not obtain man's consent. rape is rape whether rich committed by a stranger in a dark alley. or by an intimate partner. in a working relationship migrating weinstein's defense lawyer resolved to fight back
6:08 am
inside his poor health when he found out of the condition it's difficult to keep going to be fighting and dealing with it will be filed but an appeal will be and i . think you're going to. sentencing is set for march 11th weinstein is currently in hospital after a call to be complaining of chest pains following the verdict. we can speak now to entertainment journalist k j mass news and los angeles how the weinstein was facing 5 charges and has been found guilty on 2 counts talk us through the verdicts. you know it's very surprising there are so many women that have come or to speak out against harvey weinstein and accused him of of coming kareen this illegal acts and still i think some people felt that all of the evidence that was presented by the prosecution perhaps still wasn't up to the boat without a really proven beyond
6:09 am
a reasonable doubt there were some people who probably had some problems with some of the testimonies and that is the reason why you only saw him be convicted of 2 of the 5 charges this has been a colossal trial symbol of the me too movement what more can you tell us about this . you know it's hard to believe that it this all happened back in october 2007 scene that is when a number of women came forward and spoke out to the new york times and talked about the fact that there were a number of times where they had secret settlements it weinstein's media a conglomeration because of things that you've done shortly after that 13 other woman came forward and accused him of sexual harassment and sexual assault and ever since finishes been a treasure trove of women coming forward accusing him of so many improprieties so much so that his entire company dissolved and he's pretty much has been a hermit ever since then been accused of so many things it seems like every single day but don't forget this is been going on for about 2 and a half years so what are today's verdicts named for harvey weinstein. it
6:10 am
probably means that he will probably not see the light of day for a very very very long time because you have to remember here in los angeles he still faces 4 counts of felony sexual assault and if he's convicted on all 4 of those charges that could give you anywhere from 10 to 20 years that's separate from being simpson's on march 11th in new york so when you add all of that up we're looking at somewhere anywhere between 5 years and possible 20 remember he's already in his late sixty's so it will be very long time probably once he sentenced before he's ever of free man again and many people are still coming forward with their stories here in hollywood time's up organization and the me too movement has not slowed down although people may think it has to follow new targets because there are many other people who are committing those type of expenses not just harvey weinstein entertainment journalist k.j.
