harvey weinstein himself has decided not to appear. he was not given enough time to prepare. he only learned the identities of his accusers on the specific charges on friday and that was memorial day weekend here in america. that means that this case has now reached the next stage. and he faces additional investigations, i think in los angeles, london, and by the federal government. his lawyer, i'm reading, is arguing that unfair political pressure was placed on prosecutors because of a high—profile case. and this is undoubtedly a high—profile case. what we're seeing here are a number of women coming forward and there are several high—profile women, particularly actresses, who have made allegations about harvey weinstein. of course, this case itself involves two accusers, but there are many others beyond that. and i think that notjust harvey weinstein‘s lawyers, who said that he will plead not guilty in this case, it's notjust them that are aware of this, it is the manhattan district attorney as well. they have released a statement, i

but this is just the next step in getting harvey weinstein to trial, here in new york, on those charges act. one other new detail that we got from harvey weinstein‘s lawyer earlier today was that the allegation of rape from 2014, they content it was a consensual sexual relationship that went on for many years, even passed the alleged charge there in 2014, and of course harvey weinstein has maintained all along that he's never had nonconsensual sex. thank you. the final commemoration hearings for the victims of the grenfell tower fire have been taking place at the public inquiry into the disaster. one family paid tribute to a grandfather who sheltered several people from the blaze in his top—floor flat describing him as a ‘modern—day moses'. the inquiry is due to begin hearing formal evidence next week. 72 people died as a result of the blaze at the block of flats in west london lastjune. our special correspondent lucy manning reports. as they faced fire and death, those trapped inside grenfell turned, in their last moments, to each other. raymond bernard known as moses was, his family s
