phenomena that will be on the capacity of humans to deal with that that no matter how many flood prevention works and there are kind of initials on this one of the unprecedented volume of waterfall, this happens ever in the world. we will unfortunately have flooding. it wasn't much of the equipment. i mean, i'm truly hoping to meet you all to just all right. but we know a lovely having some difficult hours ahead of us is. there's always, always for such greece as prime minister as blame the extreme weather events on climate change, fearing the careless summer's in his country may be a thing of the past. but let's have a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. at least 21 people have been killed after a psych phone tour through the state of rio grande, those sewell and southern brazil, triggering flooding and land slides. thousands of people have been forced from

malone and washington told us what was behind the court's decision. or indeed, as he pointed out, this is the hardest 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 like and 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 todds, how are you, 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 saw it as a protest that maybe went too far. so what has been the reaction to this and of the, 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. tarry o the during court today, in court today, apologize to the police officers the tow that were attacked during the capital. the judge said that the most harmful thing about january 6th was the damage done to democracy. 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 somewhat of an effect on his campaign for the white house

in 2024. 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. so a coordination between donald trump, the white house for the proud for his. but it's kind of hard to imagine that a jury looking then a donald trump don donald trump's case. why not look at how the crowd boys or 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 so that these are,

that's donald trump's 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 before the full scale war and ukraine, the pride parade in the city of har. keith claim to be the largest eligibility event in the country's east with a war on the parade has been cancelled. and the events organizers have been told now is not the time to protest for their rights. but this year they found a creative way to speak out against homophobia, despite the pressure to keep quiet, dw max and or has been to car keep and he wanted to find out still she and her fellow active, this one to be visible. even though they know not everyone will be happy to see them as we speak stuff to you who helps organize how to give pride gets news of an

anti eligibility protest elsewhere and tell them now the they're reduced to that kind of hostility. well, not the then the you not to, we are a democratic country behind the host on which i don't see any problems if this is how they want to show their opposition for the novel have to provide, it's better than harassment. the divine. yeah, the rebels that it was the meeting people today, which happens at that very often after pride think you'd be surprised that they're more worried about russian missile attacks. that's one reason why only a handful of people showed up. another is that many have left town, but also summer fighting the russians, the cutouts were present, those were absent. no rainbow without yellow and blue with this one reads, the colors of the ukrainian flag. the signs of pride don't last long. so

not even 2 hours later, some of the cut outs are already missing and they were brought not too far away. so i can see right here, let me pull one out for you. this one says this could be moderate sco, which is at the front line evacuating. some of the guys who did this are still at work and it appears not camera is out of the show. i don't think knows the time for promotional campaign for this. it would be more logical if instead of these posters, there were photos of the boys who died in the wolf country. they sacrificed their lives not only for free fund, keith, but also for ukraine. chapel as it does, are hard to come in. they'll pay you to them by the time for a few hits at 11 o'clock, most of the cut outs are gone destroyed, or the faced ukrainian law still only recognizes marriage between a man and

a woman. but surveys show more than half of ukrainian supports, same sex marriage and about a quarter oppose it. say, you know, these are intimate mattress. he, you mohammed a one spectrum orientation for you, but there is no need to show a bunch of natural benefits and then do the owners man not affecting anyone else with this. everyone has a right to left, whoever they want to order in which is a draft law to recognize civil unions between people have the same gender, was introduced to ukraine's parliament earlier this year. that would be a major step for the entire career community, especially those fighting and as for stuff as partner, alina is a career soldier. she's just return home for free unit, for a break. she doesn't tied her sexuality from her comrades. it says, reactions have been mixed. the couple held a mock wedding with friends on us here for the high for you. we have not real

photos. yeah, i didn't was national. we have a video of the ceremony x, that ammonia altima, but we still can't get married. and ukraine put a union in foss could the, to her. so it's difficult to pretend there was something personal though, so, but we still can't get married to the moon on the session and watch them all those like this. and she also knows like, oh other queer soldiers that if she is hurt or killed, her partner will have no rights to make decisions. look what you more your to be sure that we want legal protection for our family to find a life together. you need protection from the state to what they've been the a piece. we need recognition typically who we really are. and we are a family and we see that family is fighting for ukraine's future. and sir, place within the in tennis coco golf has made it into the semi finals of the us open for the 1st time. the 19 year old american made light work of the former french open champion
