A federal judge in Manhattan on Tuesday rejected Harvey Weinstein's request to delay a deposition in a civil lawsuit by women who accused the imprisoned movie producer of sexual abuse and workplace harassment. Weinstein, 68, had argued that his poor health made giving a deposition "practically impossible," and put him at "severe risk" of self-incrimination because of pending criminal charges in Los Angeles. U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein, however, said Weinstein did not provide medical support for his health claims, and that it was unclear when Weinstein's constitutional right against self-incrimination might no longer be a concern.

In one of his final acts as majority leader, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell is pressuring Democrats to keep the filibuster — the procedural tool that liberals and progressives are eager to to do away with so President-elect Joe Biden's legislative priorities can be approved more easily over GOP opposition. McConnell has told Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer that retaining the legislative filibuster is important and should be part of their negotiations for a power-sharing agreement in the narrowly divided Senate.
Britain's BBC needs to make tough decisions to ensure its future as viewers spend less time with the broadcaster and the number of households paying the licence fee declines, the National Audit Office (NAO) said on Wednesday. But it is losing audiences, and in particular younger viewers, to rivals such as Netflix, and politicians have questioned whether the universal TV licence - a tax on all television-watching households which was 157.50 pounds in 2020 - can be justified in the future. The BBC received 3.52 billion pounds ($4.8 billion) from the fee in 2019/20, a fall of 8% since 2017-18 as the government withdrew funding for free licences for the over-75s, the NAO spending watchdog said.

PRESIDENT-ELECT JOE BIDEN: "Well, excuse the emotion, but when I die Delaware will be written on my heart." On the eve of his inauguration, President-elect Joe Biden bid an emotional farewell to his home state of Delaware on Tuesday, where he served as U.S. senator for 36 years, before becoming Barack Obama's VP. On Wednesday, Biden will be sworn in as the 46th U.S. president. "I'm truly honored to be your next president and commander in chief, and I'll always be a proud son of the state of Delaware." Biden then flew to Washington, after his plans to take Amtrak were scrapped over security concerns, where he attended a remembrance ceremony for the 400,000 Americans who died from COVID-19. The event was the first such memorial ceremony from the federal government acknowledging the staggering death toll from the pandemic. Biden led the lighting ceremony and moment of silence featuring a light display surrounding the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall. "To heal, we must remember, and it's hard sometimes to remember. But that's how we heal. It's important to do that as a nation. That's why we're here today. Between sundown and dusk, let us shine the lights in the darkness, along the sacred pool of reflection, and remember all who we've lost." Following the moment of silence, 400 bells tolled at the National Cathedral to symbolically honor the 400,000 Americans who have perished to COVID-19.

Netflix asked Wall Street, “Are you still watching?” on Tuesday, and the reply was a resounding “yes,” with the streaming giant’s stock price rocketing 12% higher after posting a strong fourth quarter report that included passing 200 million subscribers worldwide. If you don’t feel like shuffling through Netflix’s investor relations page, here are three key takeaways you should know about its Q4 performance: 1. Subscriber Growth Bounces Back Netflix was coming off a rare flop heading into Tuesday, after the company added 2.2 million new subscribers during the third quarter — which even missed Netflix’s conservative projection for the quarter. That trend didn’t continue during the fourth quarter, though, with Netflix adding another 8.5 million new customers. That not only helped Netflix easily eclipse the 6 million subscribers both the company and analysts had projected, but also pushed Netflix well past the 200 million subscriber threshold. With 203.6 million subscribers overall, Netflix became the first streaming company to cross that barrier and reinforced its position at the top of the streaming food chain. Maybe it wasn’t a necessary reminder, but it certainly doesn’t hurt, either, as the streaming industry gets more and more competitive. Last month, Disney+ reported it hit...Read original story 3 Reasons Why Netflix Remains the Dominant Streamer At TheWrap

Britain’s biggest musical names have launched an attack on the government’s failure to secure visa-free travel for performers to EU countries after Brexit. Sting, Sir Elton John and Sir Simon Rattle are among the more than 1,000 signatories to a letter accusing the government of “shamefully failing” British artists. The musicians said the government’s “negotiating failure” will threaten the future of cultural exchange with the EU. Ministers have insisted that visa-free travel for UK performers was lost because the EU rejected the government’s plans for a “more ambitious agreement”. The UK's post-Brexit travel rules, which came into force on January 1, do not guarantee visa-free travel for artists and other creatives throughout the EU's 27 member states. However, the European Commission said that it was Britain's fault that musicians are not one of the professions covered in visa-free stays in the bloc, which will mean greater costs for touring. The letter published in The Times is also signed by the violinist Nicola Benedetti and heads of the leading opera companies, plus Bob Geldof, Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor, Joss Stone and Iron Maiden.
