The 64-year-old was acquitted of charges against four men in London.

KTLA entertainment reporter, Sam Rubin, says the big question is- can Spacey go back to work?

"I think it is an open question. And I don't know, I think it's less likely in America than it might be elsewhere."

The Reserve Bank Governor says Kiwis will ultimately benefit from today's OCR hike - the first in more than three years.

The cash rate has been raised to 2.5 percent.

Governor Anna Breman says inflation's been eating up household budgets.

She says getting inflation back down helps everyone.

"It will actually make sure that households get their purchasing power back, they can spend more, they can get more demand, and we will see better growth and employment coming back."

It says this is retaliation for Iran attacking three commercial vessels in the waterway.

Middle East correspondent Gordon Robison says it's not clear why the ships were hit - but there's been a noticeable back and forth between both nations, leaving the ceasefire on 'life support'.
