introduces an entry fee in an effort to curve mass tourism and protect the cities rather than the library golf. it's good to have you with this on this thursday. and we begin tonight in the united states where new york's highest court is overturned. a 2020 verdict that found harvey weinstein guilty of rate. the new york court of appeals ruled today that the movie mogul was not given a fair trial weinsteins trial. you may remember help spark the global need to move, but he will remain in prison because of the guilty verdict and a separate rate case in california. boomers of harvey weinstein sexual misconduct, had been circulating for years. but is 2026 crimes conviction in new york state

confirmed it. the judges has now overturn that in order to new trial. in a 43 decision new york's highest court said the judge in the original trial, a lot of cross examination that portrayed the powerful producer and a negative light. the judge also allowed testimony from women who claimed weinstein had a sold at them, but were not part of the case. the 2020 guilty verdict along with newspaper articles and statements from well known actresses lead to weinsteins downfall. some of whom are dismayed by the latest ruling. this today is an active institutional betrayal. and our institutions betray survivors of 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. so the new decision is still a disappointment. for some women. uh well i saw it about an hour ago and headlines and i, i gotta say it made me sick to my stomach. um, 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 was where america is, i guess, unfortunately, but i'm not surprised, and it sucks. those like the core, the, the campaigners emboldened by harvey weinstein downfall wonder whether use of social progress have also been overturned. jason capability is with nbc news, and i heart radio los angeles. he is covered the weinstein story extensively,

and he told me more about today's decision to overturn one of the convictions. 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 wind c 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 overturn the convention basically saying that it wasn't fair to harvey weinstein to have to sit and listen to testimony from, from a lead 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, or if you will, any we did have one judge saying that harvey weinstein did not receive

a fair trial at all. i'll explain that to his chase, to show you 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 accused or something, and then you just kind of 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, they seemed 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. 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? you know, 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 that easy day to fall. so 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 we can't go out and actually run is business, it is a little, it's a little bit easier distance that business when you're behind bars and your production company, you know,

several miles down the road versus 3000 across the country. that was rising capital one year from nbc news and i heard the video in los angeles was staying in the united states and another story about power this presidential power and its limits . the u. s. supreme court today begin here. we are arguments in unity case brought by former president donald trump. justices are deciding whether he can be prosecuted for conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election . trump argues former presidents can not be prosecuted for crimes allegedly committed while in office with trump back in court today at his hush money trial in new york, he complained about not being a proceedings for this even bigger case in washington, dc. i asked our washington bureau chief and his pull to set the mood for us at the supreme court. a yeah, right, friends and 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 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 a to washington to business this historic day. you 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 other side charges that are against him. um, yes, it 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 oath within community, then what are we as a republic? now these are not nearly present in august and having every day. are you sure not a new day? that's what it's all about. nobody lives, i believe that this supreme court just took this case to go away criminal trials for the president. but that's what it is we can hear right there. there is a one 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, so 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 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 friends, you know, this really i think that is true, which would really attack uh the democracy as we know it 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 and not through before june. and that would basically mean uh that wouldn't be hold accountable and discount 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 all 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, in january 6 in 2021 or the washington bureau chief, indisposed front of the us supreme court is thank you. here's a quick look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world bridge president emmanuel mac roland has warned that quote, europe could uh, if it does not united to face the challenges of a changing world,

the stress of the cotton. it must take responsibility for its own sovereignty by boosting its joint defense and by relying less on the us security umbrella, he also underlined that ukraine's victory over russia is key to the future of european security. or he has sworn in a transitional ruling counsel, and the prime minister arial 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 gang violence. rescuers in wild life experts or racing this a dozens of wells beached on the coast of western australia. about a $160.00 pilot wells became stranded near the tourist town of duns for at least $26.00. we understand the well, they say you've been, italy is worth a visit and it's worth about 5 year olds as well. italian authorities are introducing a new 5 euro fee for people wanting to visit this visual,

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. besides the done because it is the we can save 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. so 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
