The jury found Weinstein guilty of rape, forcible oral copulation and sexual penetration by a foreign object involving one woman but acquitted him of charges relating to a second alleged victim. In Los Angeles, Weinstein faced seven counts of rape and sexual assault from four women for encounters between 2004 and 2013. Siebel Newsom and three other women offered testimony that provided the basis for the two counts of rape and five counts of sexual assault that Weinstein faced. They also highlighted that some of the accusers, including Siebel Newsom, kept in contact with Weinstein, which they argued did not make sense if he had attacked them. Siebel Newsom attended a pre-Oscars party hosted by Weinstein with her husband and sent Weinstein dozens of friendly emails over the years.

Two teams the 49ers have owned in recent years finish this week’s NFL schedule off as Baker Mayfield, and the Los Angeles Rams travel to Lambeau Field against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay comes into this game as a 7.5-point favorite, with the total on the line set at 39.5 at DraftKings Sportsbook. He was putrid outside the final couple of drives, which should show itself in a cold weather game tonight. Green Bay had a full bye and should be healthier as a result. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers' offense have figured out how to get Christian Watson involved, which has paid dividends.

Share:ISLAMABAD - Chairman Senate Standing Commit­tee on Foreign Affairs Senator Farooq H Naek yesterday said that Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had exposed India’s support for terrorism. Naek, who is a senior Pakistan People’s Party leader, said he fully en­dorsed the foreign minister’s statement wherein he pointed out that “He (Nar­endra Modi) was banned from entering this country (the United States). The Senate Foreign Affairs com­mittee Chairman also demanded im­mediate release of Hurriyat leader Muhammad Yasin Malik and all other Kashmiri leaders and people incarcer­ated on trumped-up charges. He said Yasin Malik and other political prison­ers were victims of draconian Indian Terrorist and Disruptive Activities Act (TADA), black law that aimed at targeting political opponents. “India’s malfeasant attempts to fallaciously implicate and incarcerate Kashmiri leadership in fabricated cases will nei­ther dampen their (Kashmiris) morale nor dent their legitimate struggle for right to self-determination,” Senator Naek said.

The expert noted the PTI MNAs had their own vote banks, but they still needed the party’s vote and support. “Right now, the PTI MNAs would surely go for the verification of their resignations if Imran asks them to do so,” the expert believed. He added that the speaker had to satisfy himself that the resignations were genuine and tendered voluntarily without any pressure.

Last week, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar repeated his call for a charter of economy and isolating the economic realm from politics during his conversation at Pakistan Prosperity Forum. One can say that all economic policies are political choices as they create winners and losers, therefore the call for the charter of economy has not gained significant traction. However, on reflection, one can also see the significance of the charter of economy for creating a working consensus on a minimum agenda. In this article, I am sharing a proposal for restructuring the federal government, which can become the basis of a charter of economy. Ideally, all political parties should endorse the charter of economy.
