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 protests over the Israel-Hamas war have popped up on an increasing number of U.S. college campuses following last week’s arrest of more than 100 demonstrators at Columbia University. The students are calling for universities to separate themselves from any companies that are advancing Israel’s military efforts in Gaza — and in some cases from Israel itself. Protests on many campuses have been orchestrated by coalitions of student groups. The groups largely act independently, though students say they’re inspired by peers at other universities.
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.
Donald Trump has promised big plans for recruiting voters in Black, Latino and Asian communities. But five months before the first general election votes are cast, the former president's campaign has little apparent organization to show for those ambitions. The Trump campaign removed its point person for coalitions and hasn’t announced a replacement. The Republican Party’s minority outreach offices across the country have been shuttered and replaced by businesses that include a check-cashing store, an ice cream shop and a sex-toy store. The Trump campaign says it won't announce its spending or staffing on minority coalition efforts but believes it has advantages over the reelection bid of Democratic President Joe Biden.

The Republican Party’s minority outreach offices across the country have been shuttered and replaced by businesses that include a check-cashing store, an ice cream shop and a sex-toy store. The Trump campaign says it won’t announce its spending or staffing on minority coalition efforts but promises a “comprehensive” effort and believes it has advantages over the reelection bid of Democratic President Joe Biden.
Anchor Poppy Harlow is leaving CNN. The network said Friday that Harlow announced her parting from the cable news giant in an email to colleagues. Harlow joined CNN in 2008 and most recently co-hosted “CNN This Morning.” At CNN, Harlow reported on 2013 Boston Marathon bombings and 2015 Paris terror attacks, among other stories. CNN said it had engaged in discussions with Harlow after she was left without an anchor slot when “CNN This Morning” changed time slots and moved to Washington. Harlow previously worked as an anchor for the Forbes Video Network and was an anchor and reporter for NY1 News.
