Daughters memorial as soon as it gets started. Omar is joining us now. Give us a sense of what its like in there. Reporter brianna, a lot of people are still filing in at the moment. We heard from the Staples Center that things would be starting a little after 1 00 eastern time. When you look at the stage and how everything is set up, basically everyone is seated around what would be center court in a normal basketball game, lots of roses surrounding. Were told a little over 30,000 roses are set up in place. There are instruments where we are likely to see a performance and choir earlier this morning. This is a chance for not just the family, for the bryants to reflect, but its for the public to get a sense of closure for an event that happened so suddenly that happened almost a month and a day ago at this point. When this gets going and you look around at people in here, there are some media members, people close to the family and things like that, but there are also many fans who paid money and in some cases went on a lottery just to get a chance to come in here. Tickets were sold between 2. 24, the significance of the date of the accident, 2 24 2020, and the amount that kobe and his daughter were together. His wife talked about this in the media as well. This is going to be a big celebration, a somber celebration at times, and this is going to be a celebration from people who knew kobe bryant and Gianna Bryant best. Tell us how this is going to unfold and who is going to speak. Reporter thats the thing, at this point we dont know the speakers. The people who are going in are finding some of that out, and we know that on the back of the pamphlet theyre getting that has all the sort of memorial on it, there is a quote from kobe to his daughter. But people are finding that out as it happens. They have been very tightlipped about what is going to happen. I can tell you that when the first game the lakers had after kobe died, i was inside, and they had shirts on every single seat, whether you came for the opposing team or you came for the lakers, and it had 24 on the back and 8 on the front, and those shirts symbolized, you know, what kobe brought to the Staples Center. His daughter gianna, were expecting to hear a lot more about her, a 13yearold who died on that fateful flight along with seven other people and her father kobe, but everything has a significance, as you were hearing omar say. The tickets themselves, do you know there were 80,000 people trying to get into that lottery that only had 20,000 tickets to sell . Every single one of them sold. They started at 24. 02, 24 being one of kobes numbers when he was with the lakers, the 2 signifying his daughter gianna, and then they went up to 224. And the date, of course, is significant. But we have seen thousands upon thousands of people who are really sharing their stories about kobe with one another while they stand in line, and nobody in l. A. Likes to stand in line because theyre always in traffic. It has been the most loving, peaceful, kind place that ive seen in a scenario like this, because everyone is waiting to stream in. And as they were doing so, they were sharing their love of what he did not only while he was on the team as a fivetime winner for the lakers and also an mvp, but also what he did to share what its like to come out of adversity, what its like to go through something, come out the other side and do something for the community. The mamba and Mambacita Sports Academy he and his wife founded, all the proceeds are expected to go to that. It was about kobe and his wife trying to lift girls up, show them they had the ability to become good citizens, be role models and could go into athletics with a strong mind. His daughter one of those who really wanted to be as good or better than her father, and she was working towards that when she died. Thats why people are here, not just because of the stories when he was a player, but after he became a player, won an oscar for a beautiful ode to basketball. A lot of people have seen what hes done after his time, but they are here to mourn him but they are also here to celebrate what he meant to the city. Sara, that is a beautiful picture you are painting even just as people heading into the Staples Center. Omar mannis, thank you as well. Were going to bring this tribute of kobe and his daughter gianna as soon as it begins. But were also following other breaking news. Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has been charged with two out of five charges. Weinstein was taken into custody following this conviction, and jean casarez is outside the courthouse in new york. She has been following this entire trial as it has unfolded. Jean, to you first. Tell us what these convictions mean. Reporter well, this is truly a mixed verdict, right . As you said, the most serious counts, predatory sexual assault, which really have a life term as the maximum punishment. He was found not guilty of those. But with some of the others, and they are serious felonies, criminal sexual act in the first degree which is a maximum of 25 years, a minimum of five years, and then also rape in the third degree. Now, he was charged with rape in the first degree, and that was a not guilty verdict. But rape in the third degree he was convicted on, and that is up to four years in prison, but it is a probationary offense also. Someone can be put on probation for that. But it was a lot of the end, because prosecution wanted to remand him in custody and the defense really fought hard in court saying hes been to court every day, hes not well, his back, his eyes, and then also the fact that he was not convicted of the most serious charges. And i guess to help him, the judge is looking into the inf m infirmary for him to go to, which is obviously possibly better conditions, its like a hospital rather than the general incustody situation for someone who has just been convicted. But conviction on two counts. They are sex crimes, they are felonies, so he is remanded into custody. So i think a win for both sides, actually, today in a sense. And jean, reva martin is with us, civil rights leader. R ee vr reva, tell us whats going to happen with Harvey Weinstein. His defense team will be appealing probably with respect to one of the jurors who was writing or reviewing a book about older men who was a predator and sexually assaulting a younger woman, but also the addition of other witnesses. There werent just the two victims who were the subject of this trial, but there were also four additional women who were allowed to testify. So we should expect to see an appeal with respect to those two issues. I dont think we can underscore a major victory for victims all over this country. When you think back to 2017 before the stories that were written by the journalist exposing the conduct of Harvey Weinstein, and then the close to 100 women who have come forth since then and told their stories, i have been involved in these kinds of cases pre2000, so i know what it was like to try to move forward on a case where women were alleging that they have been sexually assaulted by a powerful man such azhar vs Harvey Weinstein. Women were ridiculed, harassed. They were put under a microscope and it was almost impossible to bring charges like this. Even though the prosecutors in this case did not get a guilty verdict on the two most serious charges, we cannot take lightly the seriousness of the charges in which they did receive a guilty verdict. Ar ee vareva, thank you, and thank you outside the courthouse there. You can see the dow is down a thousand points as more coronavirus appears.

There you see it now. The dow down about a thousand points. Its wiping out most of the gains the market has made this year. Lets go to cnns alisyn kosick who is at wall street. What is the fear of this now . Reporter over the weekend, the number of cases outside china doubled, so there is this complacency about wall street keeping an eye on the coronavirus. Now that weve got this news that the number of cases jumped and those cases were outside of china, that is essentially whipping wall street, and were seeing that play out in an index called the volatility index. It jumped 4 in one day. That is shocking traders. One trader coming up to me and saying this is all about anxiety, surprise and all the unknowns. Although its too early to tell what the price tag will be for the impact on the Global Economy with the coronavirus. Were already seeing the impact on china, and china is a huge player in the World Economy and has direct ties to how the u. S. Economy could react in this situation. Its part of the reason youre seeing this fear on wall street. One analyst, alice young, says this virus represents the most uncertain market that it has faced in years. In 2018 and 2019, it was the trade war between the u. S. And china that was really the wild card. I think now youre seeing the coronavirus being the x factor in 2020. Alison, thank you so much.

Really just in contrast to the excitement of game day there at Staples Center, so many people who normally would be there for this moment. Lets listen. Yes. Im ready.

We thank you for your thoughts and prayers in this difficult time and appreciate your love in coming to celebrate the life of these remarkable individuals. While this is a memorial event, the word celebration is very much a part of its purpose. And while we ask you to respect the solemnity of the occasion, we must not forget to celebrate the lives of kobe, gianna and their friends. There is no doubt he would have wanted that. To begin this event, a very close friend of the Bryant Family is here to show her love and support to vanessa and all the families here today. Please welcome Beyonce Knowles carter.

Kobe bryant. Please welcome kobe bryant. If you work hard enough, dreams come true. Those times when you get up early and you work hard, those times you stayed up late and you work hard, those times when you dont feel like working, youre too tired, you dont want to push yourself, but you do, anyway.

Thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I love you guys i love you guys what can i say . Our thanks go out to beyonce for being with us today and for expressing her love so beautifully. Another good friend of the bryants and the laker family is here to guide us through this mornings celebration. Will you please welcome jimmy kimmel. [ applause ] you picked the wrong person to guide you through, im going to tell you that right now. I want to thank everyone for being here and thank you for gathering to celebrate the lives of alyssa altobelli, her parents, sarah chester, Christina Mauser, azra zabayan, Gianna Bryant and kobe bryant. This is a sad day, but it is also a celebration of life, of their lives and of life itself in the building where those of us who are lakers fans and kobe fans celebrated so many of the best times of our lives. And im honored to have been asked to speak here. The proceeds from the tickets you bought go directly to the mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation which supports youth sports in underserved communities. I also encourage you to go to mambaon3. Org to give to the mamba on 3 fund which was coordinated to provide support to the mauser and zabayan families. I can only imagine how difficult this is for them. I dont think any of us could have imagined this. Everywhere you go, you see his face, his number, gigis face, gigis number, at every intersection. There are hundreds of murals painted by artists who were inspired not because hes a basketball player but because kobe was an artist, too. And not just in l. A. , across the country in kobes hometown, philadelphia and italy and india, the philippines, china, new york, phoenix, boston, for gods sake. In places where you would be booed on the court, kobe is missed. Even the great Boston Celtic bill russell wore number 24 on a lakers jersey to yesterdays game. I knew he would come to us eventually. Today were joined by kobes teammates and opponents alike, his friends, his family and his fans, as we try to make sense of what happened to these nine Beautiful People who were by all accounts so full of life, who left behind parents, friends, coworkers, classmates, siblings and children. Ive been trying to come up with something positive to take away from this, and it was hard because there isnt much, but the best thing i think i was able to come up with is this gratitude. It seems to me that all we can do is be grateful for the time we had with them and for the time we have left with each oth other, and thats all. In the catholic church, you know, which the Bryant Family is part of, at mass we share the sign of peace. This is a mom
