More Proud Boys sentenced for US Capitol riot

Another two members of the far-right militia, which started out as a drinking club, have been handed lengthy jail terms for their role in the US Capitol riot in Washington DC on 6 January 2021. Leaders of the group received sentences ranging from 10 to 18 years. We speak to journalists and experts about the rise and fall of the group.

Also on the programme: tens of thousands of people are taking shelter in southern China as Typhoon Saola makes landfall; and just a few days after landing a probe on the south pole of the Moon, India launches its first mission to the Sun.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss all this and more are Eunice Goes, Professor of Politics at Richmond American University in London, and the Greek journalist Yannis Palaiologos.
