Lawyer: Harvey Weinstein hospitalized after his return to New York from upstate jail

Harvey Weinstein's attorney says former media mogul has been hospitalized following his return to New York City jails.

Harvey Weinstein's lawyer says the onetime movie mogul has been hospitalized for a battery of tests after his return to New York City following an appeals court ruling nullifying his 2020 rape conviction. Attorney Arthur Aidala said Weinstein was moved to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan after his arrival on Friday to city jails. On Thursday, the New York Court of Appeals vacated his conviction after concluding that a trial judge permitted too much evidence not directly related to the charges he faced. The 72-year-old Weinstein has been ailing with a variety of afflictions, including cardiac issues, diabetes, sleep apnea and eye problems.

Student anti-war protesters at U.S. college campuses are digging in and vowing to keep their demonstrations going, some universities moved to shut down encampments after reports of antisemitic activity among the protesters. Police in riot gear cleared an encampment on the campus of Northeastern University in Boston on Saturday. Several dozen students shouted and booed at them from a distance, but the scene was otherwise not confrontational. The school said in a statement that the demonstration, which began two days ago, had become “infiltrated by professional organizers” with no affiliation to the school and protesters had used antisemitic slurs. The University of Pennsylvania took similar action Friday.

Residents began sifting through the rubble after a tornado plowed through suburban Omaha, Nebraska, demolishing homes and businesses as it moved for miles through farmland and into subdivisions. People gathered Saturday morning in the streets in the Elkhorn area of Omaha amid the scattered remains of the homes and Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen planned to tour the area later. Some injuries were reported but there were no immediate reports of fatalities as multiple tornadoes were reported in Nebraska and Iowa. The most destructive storm moved from a largely rural area into suburbs of Omaha, a city of 485,000 people. The National Weather Service forecast for Saturday says tornadoes are possible in parts of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas.

Hamas says it is reviewing a new Israeli proposal for a cease-fire in Gaza. And Egypt is intensifying efforts to broker a deal to end the war and stave off a planned Israeli ground offensive into the southern city of Rafah. The Israeli military has massed dozens of tanks and armored vehicles in southern Israel close to Rafah and hit locations in the city in near-daily airstrikes. Rafah is on the border with Egypt. Egypt has cautioned that an offensive into Rafah could have “catastrophic consequences” on the humanitarian situation in Gaza as well as on regional peace and security. Hamas’ statement on Saturday came hours after a high-level Egyptian delegation wrapped up a visit to Israel.
