the the, this is dw, do live different berlin, the guilty verdicts against him helping nice to be to move it. now one of harvey weinstein conviction has been overturn new york's highest course squash. the 2026 primes conviction against the disgrace, hollywood producer. but he will remain in prison on a separate rate for also coming up for testers and supporters of donald trump gathered outside the us supreme court waiting for his appeal to feel that you should be immune from prosecution for actions during his time is us present and business introducing an entry fee in an attempt to curve mass tourism and to

protect the city's own residents. the i break up. it's good to have you with us on this thursday, and we begin tonight in the us state of new york that states top court today, over turning movie mogul harvey weinstein conviction on 6 crime charges, including rate and a 4 to 3 decisions. the new york court of appeals ruled at weinstein was not given a fair trial that said, the judge who presided over the case, improperly allowed testimony from witnesses whose accusations were not connected to the kicks chasing camp. and only a is with nbc news and i hard radio in los angeles. he told me more about why weinsteins new york conviction was over to her. and so the argument has been made

that the judge allowed testimony from sexual. this alleged 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 a ledger 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 if you will. i mean we did have one judge saying that harvey weinstein did not receive a fair trial at all. i'll explain that to

a straight show when somebody goes to court, they're supposed to face charges and only hear evidence. they're surrounding those charges. if you know if harvey weinstein are accused of something, and then you just kinda open the floodgates for anybody to come in. and say whatever they, you know, deal happen to them. uh, 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 boards mean. but the accusations, uh they seem to be in line with several other 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. and 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 drawing 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's several prisons here in california. they need to go to false. i'm 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 his production company. so all of these things, so he's allowed to still have a life while being in, in the los angeles prison. even though he can't go out and actually run is business, it is a little, it's a little bit easier to conduct business when you're behind bars and your production company, you know, several miles down the road versus 3000 across the country. that was facing capital

one who was in b. c. news and i heart radio in los angeles was staying in the us and another story about power this presidential power and its limits. the us supreme court today began hearing arguments and immunity case brought by former president donald trump . justices are deciding whether or not to trump can be prosecuted for conspiring to overturn the results and the 2020 presidential election. trump argues that former presidents cannot be prosecuted for crimes allegedly committed while they were in office but was drunk back in court today and his harsh money try when new york, he complained about not being at those proceedings for this case, which is even bigger. and it's in washington, dc, i guess our washington bureau chief in his paul to set the mood force at the u. s. supreme court. yeah, right. brendan's, you know, 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 trump supporters. i tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power in january of 6 of 20, the 21 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. uh, to washington, to business this historic day. i don't know, 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 charges that are against him. um,

yes, it should be a knew it was practically the, you know, the assumption growing up in this nation that no on 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 these are not nearly present in progress or not. i shouldn't use your knowledge . that's what it's all about. nobody. i believe that this supreme court just took this case to a good way criminal trials for the president. but that's what it all to us 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,

and he basically can do whatever he wants to do. he could basically order the killing of a political opponent. he puts a destroy the constitution because he would be immune of any prosecution during, 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 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. would, would really a tech uh the democracy as we know, it's right now in the united states. and if the court says he does not enjoy absolute immunity, wearable this puts donald trump. now there is a,

this big fear that it will take far too long before the core tear behind me makes a decision. some expect them not through before june. and that would basically mean a that wouldn't be hold accountable. and the strong 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 uh, 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 or just a quick look now and some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world, haiti has as more than a transitional ruling counsel, and the prime minister arial. andre has resigned the council. this task with the pointing a new premier and with restoring law and order is hated grapples with

a wave of game violence for its president emanuel macro and has worn that's quote, europe could die if it does not unite to face the challenges of a changing world the stress of the continent must take responsibility for its own sovereignty. by boosting is joint defense and by relying less on the us security umbrella, you also have underlying that ukraine's victory against russia is key to the future of european security. us officials have confirmed that ukraine has begun using long range missiles secretly shift in recent weeks. the army tactical missile systems known as attackers were part of a $300000000.00 us aid package approved last march. the missile system is capable of striking targets 300 kilometers away. and after the middle east, israel says that it's still planning a ground defense that against the city of rasa in southern gauze. and that despite international criticism,

these really government says most of her mazda is remaining forces are hiding out in rasa, or more than a 1000000 palestinians are now sheltering. satellite images show rows of tens that 1st appeared earlier this month, unconfirmed reports of say, israel has bought 40000 tends to accommodate people displaced in it. possible assault. sam rose is director of planning of the human agency for palestinian refugees in. ralph, are we asking whether previous evacuations, whether or not they've been successful? haven't works? no, i mean, what are the objectives that have been achieved? people have left with out anything they've left a short notice. they've received leaflets from the ad's having them to move. within a matter of hours, we saw that in gauze and say feedback. and in october we store it and ross there and we saw it with this check about approach that was taken several months ago. so . so know these may give people time to move,

but there is no west states to go to. we've all seen the repulse. we've all met the people who has relatives have been count. we not old, but we have had people who been killed on that way from one spot. so i know that they've been directed to by the authors. he's being being killed on on, on the way. so. no, there is no safe place to go. and it's people that haven't been to an f, a smaller area, it will become the more distant looked in terms of the conditions that, that facing, on our ability as a humanitarian community to deliver the aid on the supplies that they need. and for them to get to watch the sanitation to the health care of the food and the shouts of which will keep them alive. that was a sam rugs there with unreal speaking with his earlier italian authorities have introduced a new 50 fee for people wanting to visit venice. they say the new fee is aimed at curbing peak tourism to the fragile lagoon city. and they say it's needed to safeguard spaces for the city's residence. they also hope that it will help provide

more information on the number of day trippers, something relatively unknown until now of the hits, the city of canals, culture and crowds. venice has long been strain by mass tourism now a pilot project aims to rain it in dave visitors have to pay 5 year rose to enter a visual say it will discourage tours from coming during peak times and make the city more livable for residence. the charge also tells officials how many day trippers are coming in. these tourists are happy to pay out easy. i think we should pay 10 men 5, we should pay more to help j. you've got to. it's too crowded. otherwise if you want to get the most out of it, but not everyone agrees, venetian protestors say the tax won't stop over tourism, as there is no limit on visitor numbers. they argue more needs to be done to

support the local community. and that's the size of done because it is the region saves in this just by giving houses to the local residents. and by repopulating it it's only stim date tourism. it does not reduce. the bigger influx is from asia, from china, from america, it will change absolutely. nothing to help with what i want to leave my house. i have to pass through 3 or 4 bachelor parties. i called the local police to tell me they're not doing anything wrong, but they get drunk. they come back late. the alleys are full of rubbish. there are no controls. venice is the 1st major city to run such an experiment, one that could become a blueprint for other destinations, played by over tourism. are you watching the w news of next planet,
