Zimbabwe: Mugabe to meet with army chief on his future
Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe is to meet army chiefs amid intense pressure for him to step down.
Mediation will be led by a Catholic priest, state TV said. Mr Mugabe has largely been confined to his house since the army took over on Wednesday.
The governing Zanu-PF party is also meeting to discuss whether to dismiss their founder and long-term leader.
The army intervened after Mr Mugabe, 93, fired his deputy Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Mr Mnangagwa's dismissal made Mr Mugabe's wife Grace front runner to become next president. He is likely to be reinstated as vice-president when Zanu-PF convene.
Harvey Weinstein had secret hitlist of names to quash sex scandal
Producer hired team to investigate 91 film industry figures in attempt to stop harassment claims going public
The Observer has gained access to a secret hit list of almost 100 prominent individuals targeted by Harvey Weinstein in an extraordinary attempt to discover what they knew about sexual misconduct claims against him and whether they were intending to go public.
The previously undisclosed list contains a total of 91 actors, publicists, producers, financiers and others working in the film industry, all of whom Weinstein allegedly identified as part of a strategy to prevent accusers from going public with sexual misconduct claims against him.
The names, apparently drawn up by Weinstein himself, were distributed to a team hired by the film producer to suppress claims that he had sexually harassed or assaulted numerous women.

Custom Brewed LifestyleThe Booming Coffee Industry and Those It's Left Behind
For decades, coffee was about as exciting as washing powder and detergent. But today it has become a lifestyle statement. The bean boom, though, hides the brutal economic realities behind coffee production. By DER SPIEGEL staff
When exactly did coffee become so important? It has long been Germany's favorite drink, but for decades it was hardly anything to get excited about. Ads touted its "rich aroma" in an attempt to turn it into a lifestyle commodity, but it was long merely a symbol of housewife heedfulness - in the same league as washing powder, detergent or low-fat margarine.
Times have changed. These days, coffee is a luxury product, almost a fashion accessory. Or at least that's the way it's presented. Coffee pods, as advertised by George Clooney, are presented in Nespresso shops as if they were pieces of jewelry.
