the i'm only in isa for them to the program. we started in the us where new york's highest court has overturned a 2020 verdict that found harvey weinstein guilty of rape. the new york court of appeals ruled that the former movie producer was not given. a fair trial accusations made against weinstein, where the spark behind the global me to movement, which saw women around the world, sharing their stories about sexual harassment and abuse. rumors of harvey weinstein sexual misconduct had been circulating for years. but it is 2026 crimes conviction in new york state confirmed it. judges have now overturn that in order to new trial . in a 43 decision new york's highest court said the judge and the original trial allowed

to cross examination that portrayed the powerful producer in a negative light. the judge also allowed testimony from women who claimed weinstein had assaulted them, but were not part of the case. the 2020 guilty verdict along with newspaper articles in statements from well known actresses lead to weinsteins downfall. some of whom are dismayed by the latest ruling. this today as an active institutional, the trail and our institutions betray survivors as male, sexual violence. and we need to work within and without the systems to start having what is known as institutional courage. none of this means weinstein will be freed . he is in prison in new york and was separately sentenced to 16 years for another rate in los angeles. the new decision is still a disappointment for some women. uh well,

i saw it about an hour ago and headlines and i gotta say it made me sick to my stomach. i'm a sexual abuse survivor myself. so the idea that this man, this monster is getting another shot. i just. yeah, just as hasn't been serv just this week. i mean, it's messed up and it's just what, what america is, i guess, unfortunately. but i'm not surprised. and it's such that it's like the core, the, the campaigners emboldened by harvey weinstein downfall wonder whether use of social progress have also been overturned. earlier entertainment journalists caging. matthews told us more about why the court overturn harvey weinstein is conviction. it's yeah, it seems very complex, but if it really isn't, the bottom line is appeals. court judge said that the trial judge should not have

allowed all of the evidence that they allowed in the bottom line is he was convicted because a certain woman came forward for a specific case in new york. however, that judge allow the other women who also made allegations to come forward and tell their story. the problem with that is that those women had nothing to do with the particular case that he was being tried for. and so now the judge of saying it was unfair and you were allowing in prior bad acts that were unrelated to the current case in which she was being tried for. and so now they're left with deciding should we re tried harvey weinstein, which we already know the aid has already said he will do that. okay, so a lot of the public has been taking it says, shutting down on whether or not wines dean was guilty in this case, but you're saying that's not what it's really about here. no, no, you should not walk away saying that this judge is saying that harvey weinstein is

not guilty. that's a totally separate entity. this judge is saying is that the trial was not fair to him, but the judge is not saying that he's not guilty. so we have to look at 2 separate things there that there was evidence brought in that should not have been brought in. therefore, it interrupted his ability to have a fair trial which every individual in america is entitled to. and wants name was accused by dozens of women. this isn't even the only conviction raped conviction that he's faced. he's actually in prison due to another red conviction. so does this ruling have any practice or consequences for wanting a yeah, as you just her key was convicted of rape and sexual assault in california to which he was sentenced to 16 years. so he was supposed to serve about that time. once his he finished his time in the state of new york. however,

now that that case is kind of been tossed aside and he's still in prison in upstate new york. they may end up shipping him over to california to start serving that time until they retry him again in new york. so he's not getting out of prison. he may shift prison, moving from upstate new york to california los angeles, california to be more precise, but he's not getting out of prison any time soon. that was entertainment journalists, caging matthews, and lots of los angeles. speaking to me earlier, us supreme court began hearing arguments in an immunity case brought by former president donald trump. justices are deciding whether he could be prostituted for conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. trump argues former presidents should and should not be liable for crimes, literally committed wall and office. trump was in court, but not in washington. he's on trial in new york city for allegedly paying harsh

money to cover up an affair. he complained about not being able to attend proceedings for the case in washington. our bureau chief in his poll is there and she set the scene for us at the supreme court. just to give you a little bit of an idea of the space, the supreme court is right behind me in the capital is just a couple of 100 yards away. and this is, of course we are a trump supporters. i tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power in january of 6 of 2021 day of feeding cards done by donald trump to do so. and then of course, it took donald trump a couple of hours before you ask them to stop trying actually to, to the wife present. so this is a very uploaded atmosphere here. there's a lot at stake, and that's what people told us who traveled to you a to washington to visit us this historic day. no, i don't know one's above the law in this country. i think there's numerous laws

he's broken and i think he needs to pay for him and face the music of unity. immunity charge. it should be dropped because there are certain say without uh, just completely wiping the other side or charges that are against him. yes, he should be a knew it was practically the, you know, the assumption is growing up in this nation that no one, not even the head of state is above the law. and, you know, the presidential own is to preserve, protect, and defend the constitution. the law of the land, if the president can break that presidential lows with impunity, then what are we as a republic? now these are not nearly present in august or not every day. i should not. you should not on you. that's what it's all about. nobody. i believe that this supreme
