why would they be prepared to kill a story for harvey weinstein?f exposing sexual misconduct. and they had been over many stories — the usa gymnastics, silicon valley, universities, jehovah's witnesses. i mean, there's a whole long list. well, it's worth noting that that is after the outrage about the killing of this story. the journalists at nbc — who are, in many cases, sources in this book — have risen up in outrage about this. many of them have gotten on air and said — said "we have independently confirmed the claims in this book. this is troubling." the digitaljournalists of nbc unionised in protest of this. so the the journalists at that news organisation, who are wonderful journalists, have been unanimous in saying "this is an important story and, as a result of this outrage, we need more space to pursue tough leads." the stories you're describing are part of what's happened in the wake of all of this. ok, so why? why did it happen, do you think? this is bigger thanjust nbc, sarah. this is about a long history of news organisations who made

it is one of the companies harvey weinstein hired to investigate his accusers. seth freedman posed as a journalist to gather information for mr weinstein, and says he was just doing his job, and that someone has to do it. but do they, and who polices this billion—dollar, 00:01:43,472 --> 2147483051:37:36,450 shadowy world of 2147483051:37:36,450 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 private intelligence? seth freedman, welcome to hardtalk. hi. now, spies would normally want secrecy, but you started the year by writing an article in the sunday times talking about your work for black cube. why go so public? i was quite happy to stay in the shadows, and then ronan farrow and jodi kantor and megan twohey outed me in their books about the harvey weinstein case and their role in it. and it was their investigation into those women who had allegations of sexual assault against harvey weinstein, who of course is on trial in new york at the moment. he denies the allegations. but you did, with this article, decide actually to be perhaps much more open than you might otherwise have been

i hope that harvey weinstein receives a fair trial.and respected and not manipulated in the way powerful people so often are able to manipulate those processes. a large part of the reporting in this book is about how harvey weinstein narrowly evade previous attempts to charge him because he was able to hire armies of private investigators to dig up dirt on his accusers and smear them and influence the d.a.'s office, this very d.a. who is advancing this case in manhattan right now is one of the people who dropped charges against him previously, after harvey weinstein's lawyers made donations to his campaigns. so they are trying now. there's a lot of public pressure. i hope they do a good job, but this has been a long time coming and the track record doesn't make one optimistic. >> trevor: it's interesting because this book is really a story not just about what happened but how it was allowed to continuously happen. you write in the book about how harvey weinstein was caught on a wiretap, you know, how the police heard him confessing to

the disgraced hollywood producer, harvey weinstein, goes on trial today charged with rape and sexual two years after the allegations against him first emerged. some 80 women have accused mr weinstein of sexual misconduct —— but this trial relates to just two of them. he denies all claims of non—consensual sex. david willis reports. shouting harvey weinstein, formerly a fixture on the red carpet, was one of the most powerful men in hollywood. brought to his knees quite literally by a slew of sexual misconduct allegations. hollywood's leading ladies have been queueing up to accuse the disgraced mogul of harassment and assault. just a bad boy who got caught... and this former british actress was lured to his hotel room with the promise of contacts in the film industry. i want him to be surrounded by a stink of disgrace so that nobody wants to get involved with him so that he never has the power and influence to prey on other young women. chanting more than simply upending hollywood, harvey weinstein‘s fall from grace spurred a global movement on the streets, in the workplace and online.

harvey weinstein cut a feeble figure as he arrived for his trial in new york. a moment of catharsis for some of his female accusers. the women who spoke out, the women who upended his world, the women who ignited a global movement, and the women who won't get their day in court. today, ladyjustice is staring down a super predator — you. you thought you could terrorise me and others into silence. you were wrong. we rose from your ashes, we rise together. as we stand here at the beginning of a new year and a new decade, time's up on sexual harassment in all workplaces. time's up on blaming survivors. time's up on empty apologies without consequences. and time's up on the pervasive culture of silence that has enabled abusers. the movie mogul has been charged with raping a woman he's pleaded not guilty, and repeatedly denied all allegations of nonconsensual sex. this feels much more momentous than the trial ofjust one man, it's a culminating moment in the global #metoo movement. a milestone event that will be watched by women and men all across the world. nick brya

if hollywood were to stage the trial of harvey weinstein, maybe it would look something like this.ul looking feeble and using a walking frame as he appeared at a manhattan courthouse in december ahead of his criminal trial. weinstein has been charged with raping a woman in a new york hotel room in 2013, and sexually assaulting another woman in 2006. he has repeatedly denied all allegations of non—consensual sex. just because a woman makes a claim does not mean that it is true, and just because mr weinstein is accused of a crime does not mean he is guilty. some of the biggest names in hollywood have accused him of harassment and assault — angelina jolie, gwyneth paltrow, and ashleyjudd among them. i really hope that justice is served. writerjasmine lobe is also one of the silence breakers who has accused weinstein of sexual assault. cases are sometimes hard to prove. her fear is he could be acquitted. i would be really afraid if he is not held accountable. and i think a lot of silence—breakers will be, and just, you know, survivors in general, it will hurt. it will hurt to know that

david guerra, there was plenty of courtroom drama during the first week of former movie mogul harvey weinstein'sual assault trial here in new york. on monday weinstein showed up at the courthouse with a walker. his attorney suggested sequestering the jury after they exchanged accusations with the prosecution, and that same day the los angeles district attorney announced rape and sexual assault charges against weinstein. on tuesday justice james burke threatened to throw weinstein in jail for using his cell phone while he waited for the case to be called. the next day weinstein's lawyer filed a motion asking the judge to step down from the case due to bias. that motion was denied, and then on friday a flash mob convened in front of the courthouse in new york in the middle of jury selection. harvey weinstein faces five sex crime charges and if convicted he could spend the rest of his life in prison. he's pleaded not guilty to the charges and denies all allegations of nonconsensual sex. joining us now is katie fang, i've got to ask you first of all, how many times have you pulled this stunt, defend

so it was a really emotional day for them to see harvey weinstein walk into court the first time.i think we will see monday as a transition day between the quiet spell of weather that many of us enjoyed through the weekend, and something a good deal wilder for tuesday. the start to the week very much mark by some very disruptive weather across northern parts of britain. that goes right through to wednesday. at the same time, tuesday brings the prospect of temperatures well above the seasonal norm. but it comes at something of a price. by the end of the week, the rainfall totals will have really amounted up, especially so in the northwest of scotland. what is driving all this weather? it is contrasting temperatures in the mid atlantic and the north atlantic that is powering up a really powerful jet stream. and as you may well remember, every little kink in this jet stream is just the opportunity for an area of low pressure to develop, and we've got a real humdingerfor tuesday. close by to iceland, the trailing front right from the word go, and there will be wet and windy weather in

df defendants like harvey weinstein, clients like harvey weinstein believe they are not guilty, and they are proceeding to trial no matter what. you can tell that from how he's dismissed different attorneys throughout his time so far. there must be some disconnect, and often the case is that the client wants outcomes that the attorney cannot deliver so he gets rid of the attorneys and brings in new ones who he thinks can deliver the outcomes. >> whaet he wants to hear. >> that's exactly right. >> he's not going to face trial in los angeles until the trial in new york is completed, what happens if he's convicted in both. >> the court will set a sentencing date which does not happen right away. they have to do a preseasons investigation. then he'll likely continue on the same bail that he is, that he's currently on, which is out of custody. then california, if california subsequently sentences him, then they may give him credit for the time he serves in a new york prison. they don't have to, but they may. california law does allow that to happen. >> is the strategy by l.a. here because the
