the the dw news, live it from berlin. the guilty verdicts against him help ignites of me to move it now one of harvey weinstein convictions has been overturn. new york's highest court has crushed the 2026 crimes conviction against the disgrace, hollywood producer. but he will remain in prison on a separate rate of conviction. also in coming up protesters and supporters of donald trump gathering outside the us supreme court waiting for his appeal and appeal that he should be immune from prosecution for actions taken during his time is us president and vin is introduced as an entry fee in an attempt to curve at mass tourism and protect its own residents. the

brit golf is good to have you. with this, we begin with breaking news. coming from the united states. the state of new york's top court has overturn movie mogul harvey weinstein conviction on 6 crime charges, including rate, and a $4.00 to $3.00 decisions. the new york court of appeals ruled that weinstein was not given a fair trial. it said the judge who presided over the case improperly allowed testimony from witnesses. his accusations were not connected to the case. jason kept with donia, is with nbc news. and i heart radio and los angeles. he told me why weinsteins new york conviction has been overturn. so the argument has been made that the judge allowed testimony from sexual list a lead sexual assault victims of harvey weinstein to testify in the case in new

york. they had nothing to do with the charges that he was facing. and basically are calling it a hit piece on the winds, the name. so anybody who alleges anything can just say what they want in court, and that's not the way the courts are. design. courts are designed for those accused to face charges. and so they over tenure convention, basically saying that it wasn't fair to harvey weinstein to have to sit and listen to testimony from, from alleged sexual assault victims telling what his lawyers are basically saying are a bunch of lies. so having witnesses come in to help paint a picture of someone's character here. this goes beyond a, a procedural error. and if you will, and the we did have one judge saying that harvey weinstein did not receive a fair trial at all, and explain that to his chase. so when somebody goes to court,

they're supposed to face charges and only hear evidence, a dead air surrounding those charges. if you know if harvey weinstein accused of something, and then you just kinda open the floodgates for anybody to come in and say, whatever they, you know, feel happened to them. that's not fair to the person who's on trial, and wouldn't be fair to harvey weinstein. why those? why the prosecution when with those witnesses, i'm not exactly sure i wasn't in those board meeting. but the accusations, uh they seem to be in line with several of our other of the accusations against harvey weinstein. so they wanted to paint the picture, but that doesn't necessarily work with the us justice system. we know harvey weinstein is serving time in prison at the moment. does the reversal in this case? does this mean that he is going to be able to walk free until there is a,

a new dr. or no, he's actually serving time for a nother conviction of race in los angeles, so he will remain bind bars. what will be interesting is if they expedite him to los angeles from new york to los angeles, there are several prisons here in california. they need to go to folsom in northern california. there's a few uh prisons in southern california in los angeles county. and it puts him closer to his family, it puts in closer to his money, puts in closer to is production company. so all of these things, so he's allowed to still have a life wellbeing and in the los angeles prison. even though we can't go out and actually run is business is a little, it's a little bit easier to conduct business when you're behind bars and your production companies, you know, several miles down the road versus 3000 across the country. you are in los angeles, that is the heart of the us, the movie industry, the, the, how is this going down,

or are people they're saying that need to, is being reversed into a he said she said legal system. so the visceral reaction is absolutely that right? how to a day this is the need to movement. this is what we fought so hard for. we want it to bring a key, you know, abusers to justice, you know, people who commit sexual assault. and in hollywood is ramp that we tried to, you know, that's what we worked for and how can just be over 10. so it's the visceral reaction, right? of like, oh my gosh, and then the me to movement is probably going to rise up yet again, because now these victims may have to testify yet again. so if they have to be put through the same dramas that they were in the original trial, that's a pretty, pretty bad place to be. and i'm sure that me to move in will come out and force uh, several hollywood celebrities, reese witherspoon, was behind the me to move man. ashley judd. glen is patio, all of these big time multi, you know, generational stars,

they're out there now and they've got a lot of money. and that's what's going to be really interesting is if they started throwing money at the, these kinds of things, hiring better lawyers, you know, and, and better friends to fight these of users that are happening in hollywood. so it's going to be interesting to see if there's i'm, i'm actually surprised there's not a press conference already from the me to movement or some sort of statement from the actual group. but i'm sure that are coming in the coming days. if not, hours, doesn't happen only in los angeles days, and we appreciate your time and your analysis. thank you. thank you for staying in the united states. the us supreme court has begun hearing arguments in an immunity case brought by former president donald trump. justices are deciding whether or not she could be prosecuted for conspiring to overturn the 2020 election. trump argues that former presidents cannot be prosecuted for crimes allegedly committed while they were in office. a more trump is in court today as his hush money trial in

new york, and he's complaining that he hasn't been able to be at the proceedings for an even bigger case, the one taking place in washington. i asked our bureau chief in his folder to set the mood force at the us supreme court as yeah, right, friends and you know, just to give you a little bit of an idea of the space for 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 otherwise 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 uh, to washington to business 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 to say without uh, just completely wiping the other side or charges that are against him. um, yes, it should be a new things if it was practically the you know, the assumption 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 owes with impunity, then what are we as a republic? now, are you sure not nearly present in every day?

are you sure now that's what it's all about. nobody. i believe that this supreme court just took this case to delay criminal trials for the president suspect that's what it all is. we can hear right there. there is a lot at stake with this supreme court decision. what will it mean if donald trump wins this case? and if he wins the presidential election in november, a slow sudden, he basically can do whatever he wants to do. he could basically order the killing of a political opponent. he quotes a destroy the constitution because he would be immune of any prosecution. dream. of course, his presidency, but also afterwards this would open a like a whole new of options for donald trump to well, it's kind of a, i guess,

to restore or kind of keep him in power for however long he wants to be. and brands, you know, this really i think that is true, which would really attack uh the democracy as we know, it's right now in the united states. and if the court says he does not enjoy absolute community, where will this puts donald trump? now there is a, this big fear that it will take far too long before the core tier behind me makes the decision some expect them not through before june. and that would basically mean uh that wouldn't be hold accountable and describe criminal court before the elections. and then of course, if the then would be re elected, he would try to get rid of this uh, a court ruling or this accusation. and then basically would never be hold accountable what you did just these couple of 100 yards away from me in the capital

on january 6th and 2021 or the washington bureau chief and his pull in front of the us supreme court is thank you. here's a quick look now and some of the other stories making headlines around the world. heating his warning, the transitional ruling council and the prime minister are real henri has resigned the council this task with a pointing a new premier and with restoring law and order as he grapples with a wave of getting violence. bridge president emmanuel mack rolling has worn that quote, europe could dock. if it does not unite to face the challenges of a changing world distress, the continent must take responsibility for its own sovereignty by boosting its joint defense and by relying less on the us security umbrella. he also unlock underlines that ukraine's victory against russia is key to the future of european securing us officials have confirmed that ukraine has begun using a long range missile secretly shift in recent weeks. the army tactical missile
