the disgraced hollywood film producer, harvey weinstein, has had one of his rape convictions overturned. judges at new york's top court said weinstein, who will remain in prison on separate sex offences, did not receive a fair trial in 2020. they said prosecutors were allowed to call witnesses whose accusations were not part of the charges against him. a lawyer who represented some of weinstein�*s victims said the decision was a tragic step back. the case fuelled the me too movement, which exposed sexual abuse and misconduct at the highest levels in hollywood. deanna levels in hollywood. paul is a former reporter which deanna paul is a former reporter which she reported on law enforcement and the weinstein case. can you talk us through this case. can you talk us through this case on 2020 and the reasons we're hearing for this being overturned, saying that he didn't get a fair trial because prosecutors were allowed to call these witnesses which were part of the charges against him? the

which were part of the charges against him?— which were part of the charges against him? which were part of the charges auainst him? . , ., ., against him? the decision that came down from the _ against him? the decision that came down from the court _ against him? the decision that came down from the court of _ against him? the decision that came down from the court of appeals - against him? the decision that came down from the court of appeals was| down from the court of appeals was 2—pronged. the first part is that prosecutors called new witnesses, three witnesses to talk about prior bad acts, they are called for the alleged assault that harvey weinstein committed against them. these were not things that ended up in criminal charges. they were not things that had to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. the court of appeals said it made his ability to have a feel for my fair trial under cut. the second decision, the court was going to allow prosecutors to ask harvey weinstein about a wide range of conduct had he taken the stand. that also undercut his right to testify because it was acts like meeting a colleague on the side of a road on a foreign country or yelling at restaurant staff about a kitchen being closed. things that had nothing to do with the case and did bear on his credibility.— bear on his credibility. had he chosen to _ bear on his credibility. had he chosen to take _ bear on his credibility. had he chosen to take the _ bear on his credibility. had he chosen to take the stand. - bear on his credibility. had he chosen to take the stand. the i chosen to take the stand. the court also said the judge had

chosen to take the stand. the court also said thejudge had compounded the error by letting weinstein be cross—examined in a way that portrayed him in a highly prejudicial light. where their concerns raised at the time during the case about all of this? yes. there was _ the case about all of this? yes. there was a — the case about all of this? yes. there was a hearing _ the case about all of this? yes. there was a hearing about - the case about all of this? jazz there was a hearing about the judges decisions, it was close to the press but it was about the two things we talked about. what prior bad act evidence the prosecutors would be allowed to introduce their case. and if harvey weinstein chose to take the stand what bad acts of his would be allowed to cross examine. there was definitely objection from the defence at the time. this was the judges decision. 50 defence at the time. this was the judges decision.— defence at the time. this was the judges decision. so now we await the decision on the _ judges decision. so now we await the decision on the trial. _ judges decision. so now we await the decision on the trial. the _ judges decision. so now we await the decision on the trial. the women - judges decision. so now we await the decision on the trial. the women at l decision on the trial. the women at the centre of it have to be consulted as to whether they want to go through it all again. do you have a view on whether you think it will go to a retrial?— go to a retrial? retrials are challenging- _ go to a retrial? retrials are challenging. what - go to a retrial? retrials are challenging. what ends - go to a retrial? retrials are challenging. what ends up | go to a retrial? retrials are - challenging. what ends up happening is the case will be sent back from the court of appeals to the manhattan district attorney's

office. the have the opportunity to retry the case. you have to bear in mind that all of the testimony that came out during the first trial can now be used during this trial to impeach the witnesses. if a witness said something that differs slightly from something they say in the second trial they can be processed two cross—examined and argued to the jury, they said this today and there's that time, why can you believe them? it makes it a lot harder for prosecutors.- believe them? it makes it a lot harder for prosecutors. okay. thank ou for harder for prosecutors. okay. thank you for talking _ harder for prosecutors. okay. thank you for talking to _ harder for prosecutors. okay. thank you for talking to us. _ harder for prosecutors. okay. thank you for talking to us. i _ harder for prosecutors. okay. thank you for talking to us. i appreciate i you for talking to us. i appreciate your time. we're expecting to hear a press conference from people concerned at some point today. we will bring you that within the next half hour or so as expected. announcing his intention to run a minority administration. the snp leader is likely to need the backing

of the greens of each when the boat did not vote next week. the party is deciding whether to support him. the no—confidence goat was doing that vote was called by conservatives of the i believe that going forward it is the best interest of the people of scotland to pursue a different arrangement. that is why, following a discussion with my cabinet this morning, i have formally notified patrick harvie and lorna slater that i am terminating the agreement with immediate effect. here's how the co—leader of the scottish green party, patrick harvie, responded to the news that the coalition was officially over. the first minister has decided, i'm sorry to say, to capitulate to the most reactionary, backward looking forces within the snp. and it's the opposite of what's in scotland's best interest. israel's war cabinet is meeting to discuss the military operation in rafah in southern gaza.

let's speak to steph brawn, politicaljournalist at the daily scottish newspaper, the national. i think we're getting reports that the greens will not support him in that boat. what do you think the likelihood is of him winning a? if the greens are not going to support how at yousaf he's going to have to get support from the only other and that's ash regan. some viewers might remember that ash regan was a snp leadership contest last year and more recently she defected from the snp. she's probably not the person that he's going to want to be relying on support if the greens are going to vote against him in that no—confidence vote that he's going to have to look to support from her given the balance of the structure of the neck as it stands. he himself admitted if he _ of the neck as it stands. he himself admitted if he won _ of the neck as it stands. he himself

admitted if he won the _ of the neck as it stands. he himself admitted if he won the vote he - admitted if he won the vote he admitted if he won the vote he admitted that governing is a minority would be hard. it really would, wouldn't it? it is minority would be hard. it really would, wouldn't it?— would, wouldn't it? it is difficult because now — would, wouldn't it? it is difficult because now that _ would, wouldn't it? it is difficult because now that this _ would, wouldn't it? it is difficultl because now that this agreement would, wouldn't it? it is difficult - because now that this agreement has ended he's going to have to look to support from the greens on an issue byissue support from the greens on an issue by issue basis that's good to be her given the reaction we've seen in the greens today. they are absolutely furious, accusing the snp of political power nest and saying that humza yousaf cannot be trusted when it comes to political operations. it will be hard but it isn't something unheard of in scotland. holyrood is set up in a representative very way. it is set up for cooperation and the government to not have a majority usually. the snp have done it before. yes, it will definitely be challenging. he before. yes, it will definitely be challenging-— before. yes, it will definitely be challen-uin. ., , challenging. he was really batting awa the challenging. he was really batting away the criticism _ challenging. he was really batting away the criticism at _ challenging. he was really batting away the criticism at a _ challenging. he was really batting away the criticism at a press - away the criticism at a press conference earlier today. it's what the greens were saying, calling weak and lame duck leader and that sort of thing. during the press

conference he also was keen to stress that the party was still committed to green issues was up just to explain to people and how this has come about, the split, it was largely to do with that, wasn't it? , .., ., ., ., it? yes. it came to a head, the disagreements _ it? yes. it came to a head, the disagreements over _ it? yes. it came to a head, the disagreements over the - it? yes. it came to a head, the - disagreements over the powerhouse agreements have been brewing for a while. what came to a head was the scottish government ditch a key climate change target last week and that really made a lot of green members unhappy. it was actually going to be an emergency vote among green members as to continue the agreement before humza yousaf stepped in to control the situation himself. he will be on the defensive. he wants to be presenting this as a moment for the snp to go forward as one voice, as he said. the party has suffered a lot of splits in recent months. he will be defending what is done. it is a huge

u—turn. he has supported this agreement thoroughly throughout his time as first minister. it will be seen as two people will be questioning why he's done it. he's been of the support of throughout. thank you for talking to us. to repeat the news of the scottish green have said they are not going to... to get a vote against humza yousaf in the vote of no—confidence as first minister saying they have no confidence in the progress of government and scotland and would back the tory motion to on seat humza yousaf. israel's war cabinet is meeting to discuss the military operation in rafah in southern gaza. israel says its plans to launch an assault on remaining hamas battalions in rafah. washington has warned israel not to carry out a full—scale attack without a credible plan to protect civilians. more than a million displaced people are taking shelter in rafah. the white house has challenged israel to say how it could safely

evacuate civilians from the area. merlin thomas from bbc verified has more. the white house in 17 other governments have called to help secure a prolonged cease—fire. 18 countries that signed the appeal have citizens still held by hamas put up a hamas spokesman said the group remains firm in its demand that israel ends its war in gaza as part of any released deal. it's published a video showing in israeli— american held captive. the short and video shows the man in his early 20s missing his lower arm. he was shown saying he sustained as a serious injuries during the october seven attack. there's been anger in jerusalem with protesters gathering near prime netanyahu sufficient what residents. calling on israeli government to do more to secure an agreement to release the hostages. they are also clashes between police and protesters for the officers had to escort the far right israeli

national security minister to his car through the crowd of chanting protesters. live now to our correspondent wyre davies injerusalem. they have been talking about it for a while now. everybody, a lot of diplomatic efforts trying to put them off, aren't there?- diplomatic efforts trying to put them off, aren't there? yes. my understanding _ them off, aren't there? yes. my understanding is _ them off, aren't there? yes. my understanding is this _ them off, aren't there? yes. my understanding is this war - them off, aren't there? yes. my| understanding is this war cabinet meeting that began this morning and will continue through most of the day. it doesn't mean that the operation, the full scale operation against rafah is going to start imminently. i think its further confirmation it will happen at some point. israeli government spokesperson and confirm that again today. all of those appeals by washington, london and other western governments for israel to think back and to pull back from its intention to fully invade and go into rafah seem to be falling on deaf ears.

because the israeli government insists it has to finish this job. a spokesperson today said about a quarter of what israel believes hamas is fighting forces is still active and is probably based in and around raw files along with senior hamas leaders. crucially, along with about a mainly israeli hostages, about a mainly israeli hostages, about 100 of whom are still thought to be alive. there are competing considerations for the israeli government. on one hand they want to finally once and for all defeat hamas politically and militarily but they know it is increasing and growing pressure in israel for them to be more concerned and perhaps for their priority to be getting the hostages released. the release of that video by hamas of hers goldberg: who has been one of the most high—profile hostages. that video last night and his family's subsequent appeal as well i think puts further pressure on the israeli government to think twice perhaps

about the intensity and nature of their eventual attack on roswell. also the negotiations for any kind of pause or cease—fire do seem to be at a complete stalemate, don't they? i asked an israeli government spokesperson about this today. whether or not the talks were still active or whether they were considered to be dead. qatar had almost certain to pull—out of the mediated talks between the guitar is feeling left in undue and unfair pressure from american politicians over this for that —— pressure from american politicians over this for that -- qatar. guitars roll with egypt has been fundamental. the israeli view is hamas is holding back the talks was that they say how masses demands are reasonable and hamas could free some if not all of the hostages now. but hamas for their part say that israel's demands unacceptable. they want israel in the event of a cease—fire to withdraw its troops from most of gaza. and also to allow

palestinian civilians to go back to their homes in northern gaza. the gap between the two sides is still very wide. and for that minute in effect we have no real talks about peace and israel seems intent on going ahead with this incursion, this big military operation. attic it's important to say it doesn't mean it's gonna happen now, we've got 1,000,000 mean it's gonna happen now, we've got1,000,000 and a mean it's gonna happen now, we've got 1,000,000 and a half people to try to get out of the way 1st. there's some evidence that israel is helping to take to building tenants and other parts of gaza. it's a big job to move a million people from rafah to supposedly safer areas. thank you very much. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

a former top executive at the post office has said she is �*truly sorry�* for the �*devastation' caused to wrongly convicted sub postmasters and their families. angela van den bogerd has been giving evidence at the post office horizon enquiry — the flawed it system which was the basis of hundreds of prosecutions — and a wide—ranging miscarriage ofjustice. here's a little of what she had to say when she was challenged our correspondent azadeh moshiri has been at the inquiry throughout the day — shejoins me now. she is someone at the post office whose career spanned more than three decades. she personally oversaw a lot of complaints of former sub—postmasters about the horizon it system and she was involved in the 2013 mediation scheme. a lot of the victims have turned up today it's been one of the busiest days i've seen since the inquiry started this next phase. that's because partly they wanted to know what you had to say. she started with this message to them.

firstly, ithink you make no concessions or admissions that you did anything wrong, correct? well, i didn't knowingly do anything wrong and i would never knowingly do anything wrong. you don't apologise for your role in any of the events being examined by the inquiry, do you? ithink, you know, and i've reflected on this quite a bit, you know, and the disclosure that i've seen through this process, there are things that — documents that i've seen that i don't remember, some of them from the time. but clearly, knowing what i know now, i would give further weight to some of those documents than i did at the time. so they would have more significance. so things that i might have missed at the time that i really regret that and i wish i'd been able to, to see that back then. but still, knowing what you know now, in your witness statement, you don't apologize for anything

that you did wrong, do you? i apologize for not getting to the answer more quickly, but with the evidence i had and the parameters of my role at the time, i did the best i could and to the best of my ability. that wasn't a qualified apology. when that didn't sit well with sub postmasters i spoke to there were calls during her answers that didn't register with me at the time, i didn't understand the implications and she did say all of that when it came to the issue of remote access into the sub postmasters branch accounts. this is a big issue and was warned that sub postmasters and the defence teams felt that they needed to know about during those wrongful prosecutions. she also admitted to the post office, trying to control the narrative with its use of language. the use of the word

anomaly instead of bob, for example. one that was less emotive —— it bug you. and a strategy a lawyer called almost orwellian. she also talked about the fact that when it came to her own involvement sometimes she even didn't recall she was involved in all the air issues being asked about. something that made the kings counsel, the inquiry counsel particularly frustrated at times. even ended one of his question saying, "well, what do you even do?" without is the end of the inquiry, there is more to come tomorrow. thank you plenty more from there tomorrow as she says. the us supreme court is due to hear arguments whether the former president donald trump is immune from prosecution for actions he took while president. the outcome will determine whether he should face trial on charges that he plotted to overturn his 2020 presidential election defeat.

mrtrump argues he cannot face criminal prosecution for actions he took while in office. a decision isn't expected untiljune. the ruling in this case won't affect his criminal trial underway in new york — where he's facing charges of making hush money payments to the porn star stormy daniels. mr trump is in court again today. i think we can cross now to new york. we're hearing a press conference from campaigners against sexual violence responding to this news today that harvey weinstein 2020 rate convicted has been overturned. let's listen in.... harvey weinstein case. talk about how we're thinking about this moment and the news we have just heard it most importantly, the way forward. we would not be able to be in this room together with intention to be able to have this conversation first and foremost to uplift the

leadership and the bravery of the survivors who came forward. if it were not for the sisterhood that has been formed amongst all of us over all of these years. first i start there. by naming and uploading the sisterhood and drawing on a strength today. it is my greatest honour to be able to be here with my sisters to be in conversation about this matter. today with us we have ashley judd, activist, leader, actorand silence breaker. we also have toronto burke, founder of the b—2 movement. in ceo of the national law centre for that i'm now going to open the conversation with ashley for them and each of us in turn will share remarks with you. at the close we will stay behind for a few moments to answer some questions. thank you. moments to answer some questions. thank ou. ,., ., ., ., ., moments to answer some questions. thank ou. ., ., ~'
