Jury finishes first day of deliberations in Weinstein trial

The jury in the trial of Harvey Weinstein has just finished the first day of its deliberations. Weinstein is on trial for two charges of predatory sexual assault. 

While only the cases of two claimants are being held, many other women have come forward through the running of the trial, some as witnesses. 

Our US correspondent Nick Harper has been covering the trial.
