Quick Glance: Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 Rape Conviction Overturned
  • New York's highest court overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, disappointing those who celebrated historic gains during the #MeToo era.

  • The ruling was based on legal technicalities and did not exonerate Weinstein's behavior, according to #MeToo advocates.

  • Weinstein, convicted in Los Angeles for another rape, will face retrial in New York, despite remaining in prison.

  • The court criticized the admission of uncharged sexual acts as evidence, deeming it an abuse of judicial discretion.

Quick Glance: Yellen warns of further sanctions in response to Iran's increasing activities
  • Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned of potential global economic damage from rising tensions in the Middle East and pledged that the U.S. and its allies won't hesitate to use their sanctions powers to address Iran's 'malign and destabilizing activity' in the region.

  • The fast-rising tensions between Iran and Israel and the potential implications of escalation on the global economy are at the forefront of the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.

  • Yellen announced additional sanctions actions against Iran in the coming days and expressed support for liquidating roughly $300 billion in frozen Russian Central Bank assets for Ukraine's reconstruction.

  • Another major focus of this year's meetings will be Chinese industrial policy, which Yellen believes poses a threat to U.S. jobs and the global economy. She plans to meet with Chinese counterparts to identify potential areas of cooperation and address concerns.
