New York’s highest court on Thursday overturned Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction, finding the judge at the landmark #MeToo trial prejudiced the ex-movie mogul with improper rulings, including a decision to let women testify about allegations that weren’t part of the case.

Wot, no sex? No illicit desire? No death? The Sleeping Beauty is – in its Tchaikovsky score, and its uniquely challenging Petipa/Ivanov steps – the grandest of the surviving 19th-century ballets. But, lacking any of those traditional motors of virtually every other full-evening ballet ever created (even The Nutcracker has a battlefield fracas, albeit between toys and rodents), it can easily come across as a snoozesome three-hour tapestry of impressive set-pieces Sellotaped together by an anodyne

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday confronts a major test of the power of the presidency in arguments over Donald Trump's bid for immunity from prosecution for his efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeat. The justices at 10 a.m. EDT (1400 GMT) will hear Trump's appeal after lower courts rejected his request to be shielded from four election-related criminal charges on the grounds that he was serving as president when he took the actions that led to the indictment obtained by Special Counsel Jack Smith. Trump, the Republican candidate challenging Democratic President Joe Biden in the Nov. 5 election, is the first former U.S. president to be criminally prosecuted.
Austrian privacy activist Max Schrems on Thursday received backing from an adviser to Europe's top court in his fight against Meta Platforms over personalised advertising based on processing of personal data. The adviser's opinion is non-binding, but judges at the Luxembourg-based Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), follow the majority of such recommendations. Schrems, who has repeatedly sued Meta for alleged breaches of the EU's privacy law known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), took his grievance to an Austrian court, saying he regularly received advertisements directed at homosexuals.
