Harvey Weinstein moved to jail after having heart surgery

Harvey Weinstein has been moved to Rikers Island jail in New York City after undergoing heart surgery.

After the trial, he complained of chest pains and was taken to hospital where he had a stent implant to remove a blockage.

He is due to be sentenced on 11 March, and faces up to 25 years in prison for the convictions relating to two women.

Weinstein was cleared of the most serious counts of predatory sexual assault and first-degree rape. But he was found guilty of third-degree rape and a first-degree criminal sexual act. His lawyers say he will appeal.
