Court to grant a new trial. Reporter for Alex Murdaughs lawyers, the bullseye is rebecca hill, the colton county court clerk. Theyre alleging she jury tampered to write a book about the murdaugh murder saga. The clerk of the court had improper private communications with the jurors. Dont be fooled by his testimony. Watch out for his body language. Guilty verdict. Reporter last march, murdaugh was found guilty of murdering his wife maggie and son, paul, gunned down on their hunting estate by long rifles at short range. His trial flared with part southern gothic, part southern grotesque. A dynastic South Carolina family, wealthy, wiley, and powerful. Themes of greed, deceit, recklessness. A defendant admitting from the stand to lying, an opioid addiction, and ripping off millions from clients. Buster murdaugh, the defendants son, believes his dads a psychopath but not a murderer. And the trial . I think it was a tilted table from the beginning. Reporter supporting the tampering claim, affidavits from two murdaugh jurors and a third dismissed juror. From that evidence, a determination will be made if there should be a new trial. But at least there should be a hearing. The Court Official should never be discussing anything about testimony or credibility of witnesses. Reporter no comment so far from rebecca hill, the court clerk who is suddenly in the spotlight. The South Carolina court of appeals has ten days to respond to this request for an evidentiary hearing. The latest twist in this true crime saga. Norah. Indeed. Mark strassmann, thank you.

Outside the search zone where police thought they had him tracked. The photos confirm that cavalcante has not changed his appearance but also that he has obtained a backpack, a duffel slingtype pack, and a hooded sweatshirt. Reporter police were forced to widen their search perimeter today, which led to two School Districts closing out of an abundance of caution. Everyone is home today, but its not what we chose to be.

We begin with breaking news from the federal courthouse right here in washington. 39yearold Enrique Tarrio, once the top leader of the farright Extremist Group the proud boys, was just sentenced to 22 years in federal prison for orchestrating the failed plot to forcibly block the peaceful transfer of power following the 2020 president ial election. It is the longest sentence yet stemming from the january 6th assault on the u. S. Capitol, but not as long as the 33 years requested by prosecutors. He begged the judge for mercy, saying, quote, im not a political zealot. But he did not receive that mercy. Cbss Scott Macfarlane was inside the courthouse. He joins us now. Good evening, scott. Reporter good evening, norah. Enrique tarrio was the highest level january 6th defendant, convicted of that highest level charge, seditious conspiracy. Choking up, he apologized in court to the police and the other victims. But for the judge, that remorse was too little, too late. Ththe man fedederal prosececuto called the leader of the conspiracy that led to the january 6th attacks, former proud boys leader Enrique Tarrio, stood in court today and asked the judge to show mercy, adding how sorry he was for the events that occurred that day. But judge timothy kelly, who sentenced tarrio to the longest jail sentence yet for any january 6th defendant, pointed to this text message tarrio sent after the capitol had been breached. Proud of my boys and my country. Dont expletive leave. The jury agreed with the government that he directed this, that he recruited the individuals who were in place and led the assault on the capitol with the express intention of preventing the peaceful transfer of power. Reporter tarrios attorney sought leniency, arguing he wasnt at the capitol that day, watching from a hotel in baltimore. A prior arrest had banned him from traveling to d. C. But prosecutors laid out how tarrio mobobilized a g group of to m march on ththe capitol,l, g that they would turn out in record numbers that day and responding to president trumps 2020 debate comment. Stand back and stand by. Reporter tarrio writing standing by, sir. His proud boys codefendants received sentences ranging from 10 to 18 years, one of whom, dominic pezzola, shouted trump won in the courtroom moments after his sentencing ended. And Scott Macfarlane is back with us from just outside the courthouse. This is the most severe sentence for the more than 1,100 who have been charged on that january 6th assault. You were inside the room. Tell us what happened. Reporter ive been to hundreds of these hearings, norah. Never seen a crowd this big inside and outside the courthouse for a january 6th case. Tarrio has a big following, supporters and detractors, and his mom spoke to the judge, asking for mercy and leniency. But the judge said, norah, tarrio was the ultimate leader of the attack. All part of the Sprawling Department of justice investigation. Scott, thank you. We turn now to the massive heat dome smothering much of the nation. 186 million americans sweltered in hotter than normal conditions today with nearly half of the population experiencing temperatures in the 90s and above. Cbss Omar Villafranca now on how the dangerous heat is impacting schools. Reporter extreme heat is causing a backtoschool meltdown. In detroit, jamaya braid and javon adams had to pick up their two sons three hours early after the mercury hit 91 degrees. I just found out yesterday at 7 00 p. M. Yesterday that they have a half a day today. Reporter and its not just in michigan. Schools across seven states either had early dismissals or were closed entirely because of the heat, including in philadelphia, where students from 78 Public Schools with no airconditioning were sent home early on the first day of classes. In washington, d. C. , the swamp feeling like a swamp. Public pools were set to close on labor day, but the 97degree temps are forcing city officials to keep some open until september 21st. Its welcome relief for steve anlian. Its pretty warm here, but couldnt be a better place than at the pool. Reporter businesses in texas are also feeling the effects, including the ivy tavern in dallas. The local bar has plenty of patio space with fans and water misters. That adds an extra element. Reporter but general manager ben frye says when its triple digits outside, customers stay home. If we get a cold front where it goes down to the 90s, we get a jump in business like real fast.

Reporter texas power operator is actually telling the people to pardon me here has issued a weather watch for the rest of the week.

For more on the heat and a potential monster hurricane brewing far out in the atlantic, lets bring in chris warren of our partners at the weather channel. Good evening, chris. Good evening, norah. This record heat is hanging in there. It is persistent, and the reason for that, this heat dome is going to be strengthening over the southern plains. And as it does, still looking for some serious, possibly more dangerous heat for the southern tier. Some relief coming with storms for the ohio valley. But even into the end of the week, temperatures in the northeast still in the 90s. Triple digits for the southern plains. And also looking at newly named Tropical Storm lee, expected to become a major hurricane in the coming days. And, norah, this is one that certainly needs to be watched. Well watch it. Chris warren, thank you. On the heels of one of the busiest travel weekends of the year, a computer glitch forced United Airlines to temporarily ground its entire fleet across the u. S. And canada today, disrupting more than 350 flights. We get the latest from cbss errol barnett. Reporter it began with an ominous statement. United airlines experiencing a systemwide technology issue. The faa advising the airline was unable to contact their dispatch through normal means. The impact, a nationwide ground stop, halting all of the Airlines Departures in north america. The alert was issued at roughly 1 00 p. M. Eastern time, and just over an hour later, united lifted the ground stop, saying it was a software update. But even small problems can create massive headaches. The ground stop has translated to hundreds of delays, slowing thousands of people, especially at uniteds major hubs. Those still on the tarmac were stuck. One passenger posted, quote, been sitting in a hot plane at the gate for 90plus minutes. Another writing, quote, not fun when youre in the absolute last row with four crying babies and it feels like 90 degrees in the plane. Perhaps one saving grace, the disruption occurred one day after the busy labor day weekend. And on that point, according to data from flightaware, there were actually more united cancellations during the long Holiday Weekend than took place today. Still, the airline is investigating the precise cause of alt of this, norah. It does not believe it to be a cybersecurity issue, though. Errol barnett with that nightmare. Thank you.

That was Elaine Quijano reporting. There are new reports that the north Korean Leader kim jongun is planning to cross the border into russia for a meeting with the russian president , vladimir putin. Moscow is looking for ammunition in its war in ukraine, and north korea has a long list of needs. Imtiaz tyab reports from kyiv. Reporter the white house is calling on kim to cease negotiations with putin and commit to his promise not to provide arms to moscow. But it looks like a major deal between the repressive regimes is close. Vladimir putin and kim jongun are no strangers. The leaders met in the far eastern russian city of vladivostok in 2019 for their firstever summit, where they vowed to boost ties between their nations. Now 18 months into president putins unprovoked war on ukraine, moscow wants help from pyongyang. According to the new york times, a major weapons deal is on the table, with kim expected to make the roughly 400mile journey back to vladivostok on his armored train to meet with putin later this month. He will reportedly discuss exchanging a significant quantity of north koreanmade weapons and ammunition for advanced russian satellite technology, nuclearpowered submarines, and food aid. Whatever is agreed, putins brutal war grinds on. At a Media Briefing alongside the turkish president , he lashed out at kyivs counteroffensive saying its not a stalling. Its a failure. E. On a visit to an undisclosed location, president Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with frontline soldiers. Its very useful to hear from those who go into b battle directly, hehe sasaid, to know whatats l lacking and what n no be chananged. The Biden Administration is exexpected to announce a new military aid package for kyiv later t this week. Weapons that f for Ukrainian Forces cant come soon enough. Now, this meeting could happen as early as next week, but any deal made to supply weapons could add to the already crippling western sanctions both countries are under. But neither moscow nor pyongyang seems to care. That was imtiaz tyab in kyiv. On the front lines, americansupplied cluster munitions continue to aid ukraine in its counteroffensive against Russian Troops in the south of the country. The weapons are banned by most countries but are being deployed by both sides in the ukraine conflict. Debora patta reports. Reporter were heading to a secret hideout deep in this forest. Caught in the crosshairs of a new line of russian attack. Were bunkered down with ukrainian troops not far from the eastern frontline where russia is putting them under intention pressure in a bid to stretch their resources. Moscow wants to fororce ukraineo bolster its defense here by siphoning off soldiers from its counteroffensive in the south. A couple weeks of very huge combat here, using tanks, aviation, rocket system, drones. Reporter u. S. Trained commander sill tenco and his elite forces have been up all night fending off another russian assault. Outmanned and outgunned, russia has almost ten times their ammunition. They outnumber us with drones, and its a huge problem. But we have no choice. And morale . High . We are holding on a lot. It is difficult. I can say that our morale is on the top, but were holding the line, and we are standing. We are ukrainians. Reporter one thing that is making a difference further along this front line are these. The u. S. Supplied and controversial cluster munitions. Critics worry about a weapon that releases dozens of smaller bombs, which sometimes fail to explode, posing a deadly threat to civilians as they linger in fields long after a conflict ends. But the commander of the brigades artillery unit says they give them a crucial advantage in the absence of airpower because they can strike a large area using only one shell. So it can clear an area quickly . Very quickly. Reporter he directs a strike from their control room. Russian positions are in the firing line. One cluster, one shot is the order. Understood replies the gunner in the field. The hit is successful. But the moral dilemma of using a weapon banned in most countries is not up for debate here. These men believe those cluster bombs are crucial in helping them hold the line for now. The ukrainian soldiers we spoke to say so far, the dud rate on these american cluster bombs is very low, claiming theyve been almost 100 efficient. Almost 100 efficient.

Quarterfinal action continues today at the u. S. Open tennis championship in new york. But the matches on the court arent the only spectacle. At the Billie Jean KingNational Tennis center. The u. S. Open village hosts, feeds, and entertains hungz of thousands of people throughout the tournament, which wraps up on sunday. Jamie wax looks behind the scenes. Reporter its like a tale of two cities, one alive and vibrant, the other quiet and serene. Yet its the same place in queens, new york. Although they have programs and training yearround here at the ustas Billie Jean KingNational Tennis center, as you can see on this chilly april day, it is a far cry from the buzzing hive it becomes at the end of summer. So what does it take to make this out of this . The simple answer, a lot. Its a bit like the circus coming to town for three weeks. Reporter lou share is the ceo and executive director of the United States tennis association. We joke its 14 super bowls, right, because every day weve got to be showready. Its a years worth of preparation leading up to it. Reporter that preparation looks like getting the courts ready for play. There are 17 of them here. Hanging electronic boards in arthur ashe stadium, home of the finals. Making sure the grounds are beautiful and ready for the crowds. If you think about the numbers associated with this event, more than 600 athletes that will come through, weve got officials, hundreds of officials. We hire 7,000 workers to support the event. Weve got more than 300 staffers who are here. Reporter its logistics magic. The usta brings in some 200 cadillac suvs to shuttle players to and from the tennis center. Food is prepared in huge volumes to feed the players and the more than 1,000 members of the media from 40 countries, who come to cover the tournament. And we havent even talked about fans yet. Last year, we were close to 900,000 people. This year, youre expecting more. That is a lot to manage coming in and out of one facility. It sure is. To put them in perspective, thats more than an nba team will do in a season. Its more than an nfl team will do a season, pack nood a threeweek window of time. You dont just describe this as a tennis tournament. We jokingly refer to it as a food and wine festival. We know that only about half of the eight or nine hours they spend with us will be watching the competition. The other time is spent shopping, dining, drinking, peoplewatching. Reporter that means making sure the shelves are stocked at the 19 merchandising shops. It means the food court and the fine dining restaurants have to be humming along. And it means enough grey goose vodka, chambord, and lenlen aid to serve the u. S. Open signature drink, the honey deuce. More than 400,000 were poured last year. The revenue from this tennis fest last year was more than 470 million. And heres something to remember. The usta is a not for profit. 100 of the proceeds off of this event are reinvested back into the grassroots to grow the game. Reporter many people have a perception of tennis that its been an elite sport, a Country Club Sport if you may. That notion is an old notion. If you looked at tennis today, the majority of tennis is played on public courts in america. We exist to grow the game, but we also exist to make sure the game looks like america. Reporter its three weeks of the worlds top tennis nestled in a 42acre mini village. And when its all over, when the players are off to their next match, when the crowds have all gone home you start over, lather, rinse, repeat.
