a career best at the us open. the 19 year old is chasing her 1st grand slam title, the amenities of welcome to the program. the former leader of the far right proud boys militia has been sentenced to 22 years in prison over the january 6th storming of the us capital. enrique nazario was convicted of suspicious conspiracy for his role in the attack on the capital in a failed bid to keep donald trump in the white house. despite his election to feed tari o sentence, as long as so far among the more than 1100 cases open against those involved and the 2021 attack for more now i'm joined by dw is janelle dom alone in washington. janelle, thanks for joining us. that's pretty heavy sentence. their entire wasn't even present at the riots. was he? so what is behind the court's decision? here?

or indeed, as he pointed out, this is the highest of the sentence handed out so far in connection to the january 6 cases. last week we saw 4 of his proud boy colleagues received sentences from between 10 to 18 years and that those sentences were already considered quite severe. so android kentoria was handed the harshest sentence so far, given his leadership role among the proud boys. and also among the riots you have also pointed out that his case is interesting because he wasn't even there that day . he was arrested a few days prior and bad from being then in washington dc. but however, he was a very vocal in his support for the writers online. he was in touch with the other proud boys on the ground. prosecutors likened him then to a general, not

a soldier, the judge, in this case, timothy kelly has clearly taken that on board. he also said the totes area was motivated by revolutionary zeal, and that he felt about tar. you needed a particularly harsh sentence in order to head off the possibility of anything like january 6 happening again. so it was considered something of a king here. now i want to talk about the divisiveness because of a lot of americans saw the january 6 riots as and attempted to, and others just thought as a protest that maybe went too far. so what has been the reaction to this and as well, i suppose the calendar point to that would be that it, you know, it was american jury's who convicted the proud boys. american jury is composed of ordinary american citizens. so that tells you that there, there is at least a subset of the population that doesn't believe that the proud of boys are

experiencing politically motivated persecution, just for protesting. but i think a few things here will stand out in the national imagination, right? so the proud boys all tried in the court rooms saying that's all they felt remorse for their actions. tar jo out the during court today in court today, i apologize to the police officers the tell it that were attacked during the capital. the judge said that the most harmful thing about january 6 was the damage done to democracy and the peaceful power of transfer. and of course, this is something that america, that the american public will have in mind as attention shifts to donald trump and his own legal troubles. standing from january 6th this friday because a lot of people saw donald trump as the instigator in chief of the riots. and so could these verdicts have some water and effect on his campaign for the white house

and 2024 as well. just to remind our viewers, like i said, donald trump is facing his own charges related to january 6. he has been charged with attempting to defraud the united states and a conspiracy to defraud the united states and attempting to obstruct beneficial proceeding. so the electoral vote count in this case, but it's also important to to realize that the committee investigating january 6 was not able to establish a direct coordination between donald trump or the white house or the proud for his . but it's kind of hard to imagine that a jury looking then at donald trump, don donald trump's case, or not look at how the proud boys were adult and how severe the sentences they were given largely in the service to donald trump. but, you know, we've also seen pulling that says 56 percent of a republican voters. don't think that that these are, that's donald trump,

the ongoing legal troubles would impact his chances of achieving the presidency. however, you know, we are at the beginning of his legal sagal and not in the middle a lot may yet still happen and nothing can really be ruled out at this point. all right, dw, correspond to janelle dom alone and washington thanks is always let's have a look now. it's some of the other stories making news around the world. at least 21 people have been killed after a psych loan tore through the state of rio grande, a dose tool and southern brazil, triggering flooding and land slides. hundreds of people have been forced from their homes. authorities say it's the states deadliest, whether disaster ever and one that more flooding may be coming. the rental rains have triggered flooding and eastern greece, julia, at least one person and leaving 5 missing the urologist say the amount of water that fell in 24 hours was the same as the usual rainfall for the entire autumn. the

e. i can't speak specifically about the situation in cuba, but what the human works good for new use of mercenaries has seen recently, and it was the last couple of years is an increase in what we call predatory recruitment. and that's where countries this are not necessarily involved in an art . conflicts are turning to other countries as a source of most of range recruits. and we've seen this happening. i have 4 calls like the fact 2 countries like syria for example. we're um, the comes to like russia and i took you have to sort to, to, to create individuals from that country to sleep in places. yes. like you claim. but also in places like libya and not go look at it because they tend to go to cadillac. international conflict monitors, say, record numbers of people are being killed by cluster munitions. the war and ukraine
