a lot of schools were going to start tomorrow, which is monday. and now they're not in southern california. they've been floated off a day. at least we have evacuated orders in effect for san bernadino county, which is in southern california. and to add to all of that, there was a 5 point one, magnitude, earthquake, just north of san diego, in the midst of all of this. and people have been taking this seriously, but it's not as serious as we thought it was going to be. as a matter of fact, i myself went out in the rain in the wind to go shopping just to see what it was like. and i think a lot of people have the same idea because it wasn't quite as significant grier, but it is good. it is gaining steam is it's going north into l. a. and beyond right . as the same day, you went out to see just what it was like, but this is this way. there is very unusual for california and indeed to say like

san diego where you are, but just how per page of people for, for what's coming. well people were really are of warranty. very early about this storm. so a lot of people they, they got, they got all the waters a lot. there was no wires and he had anywhere in any stores. everybody when i went out today, when it was full on reading and it was wendy, there were hardly any cars out so a lot of people did buckle down, get what they were told, stay in place and it was pretty quiet. i laura, this summer of time it's extreme. so if we can quoted that in the us, has it intensified the discussion? it will the acceptance off of climate change? oh, most definitely. because this hurricane, which started in the peninsula of mexico gain steam because the gulf is more, but it continued and became a tropical storm because our waters of california,

which are very cool, normally are warming up. and that is what has springs on the storm. and that's why it's so unusual, it smells unusual. it looks like unusual. it's neil than usual. it's very strange. laura k and talking to us from san diego today. we appreciate your time. thanks, laura. thank you. and let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines. canada is sending in the military to help deal with qualifies that have 4015. hundreds of bias on burning in british columbia and the northwest territories and threatening cities. canada is experiencing us with wildfire season on record and to corruption outside a candidate. fernando i follow has swift to victory and plus and minus presidential election rental will most all the votes counted. he lives for the 1st lady,

sandra torres, 58 percent, to $57.00. obviously violence and corruption, top footed concerns here to prevent donald trump has confirmed, he will not attend the 1st republican primary debate. so to be health wednesday. trump has to a huge need among public influences and posted puts, the public knows who i am. crestwood. the president remains his policies front runner that's despite numerous criminal charges related to his failed bits to over to his 2020 election defeat. to benevolence and denmark have agreed to supply it's $165.00 digits to ukraine to boost its fight against occupying russian forces. you credit the president for letting me savanski and the danish prime minister admits a frederickson, posed in the competition of wonderful things in boxes and hopes to provide 195 digits alias and ends commit. the dutch prime minister democracy said his country we'll deliver aircraft once. the conditions are right that smoked here, how many will come from the netherlands?

now ukraine has long been asking it's wisdom allies for the us, maybe across the landscape phase. the pfizer will provide a combat edge to dive back russian invasion. the f. 16 fighter originated in the cold war, but still functions as a modern combat aircraft. the jet can engage enemy aircraft and targets on the ground. the f. 16 entered service with the us air force in 1980, more than 4600 have been produced, making it one of the most successful military aircraft ever built. to this day, it remains the backbone of many nato and allied air forces around the world. denmark and the netherlands are phasing out their aging f sixteens and replacing them with the brand new f. $35.00 some danish and dodge of 16 so

extensive combat enough gotten this done. it is likely that the airframes being supplied to ukraine will be quite old. i need a lot of maintenance to stay in the air. training pilots and maintenance stuff will be the big challenge for ukraine. the. how the f 16 will actually impact t is war effort will depend on the weapon supplied with the jets. ukraine will be hoping to receive modern weapons such as the us rum air to air. ms. sile which can shoot down enemy aircraft up to 180 kilometers away. but these have yet to be approved and could be deemed too sensitive to fall into russian hands. and dw correspondence and nature expert tear sheets has been covering the story from brussels home today. so headquarters is good to see you,

terry. as we heard in that report, these a sixteen's there decades old, they've been heavily used and buy a lot of maintenance. will they be enough to be back the russians? good morning, christine. no one knows for sure. of course, whether these jets will be the final weapon that ukraine needs to kick russia out of its territory. but what everybody knows is that what's been given to ukraine so far has not been enough because the war is still dragging on as we heard in the report it's, it's not just the just that the ukrainians will need. it's also the missiles that they can shoot against a russian planes flying in the air. but i think that right now, what's clear is that russia definitely has air superiority. and these nato countries which have been supporting ukraine until now, realize that unless they help ukraine, unless they really give you clean what it needs to win this war, everything they've done so far could be for nothing. so terry,

the numbers also it's 2, it's 165 digits from denmark. i reported $42.00 from the netherlands, but the 1st smaller batch won't be the end of it 4 months and the risk optics fix it until next year is this is this really a breakthrough as president semanski is quoted. so we're not sure about those numbers. christine, the other ones announced that it has 42 as 16, but it believes that it needs to keep some of those for its own defense. so really the numbers aren't yet clear, but it is still a break through. however, many of sixteen's go to ukraine, it is still a breakthrough for president zalinski because it is one more example of where the western countries say no, we're never giving that like we saw with the advanced tanks as well. and then he is just so persistent, entering the intonation and makes his case so clearly that eventually is the west. it changes its mind, not zelinski. and so it shows that they are willing to upgrade the level, the caliber of weapons, that they are willing to give you free. and so for presidents a wednesday,

he really has no choice but to keep asking for higher and higher grade grade weapons. and it does mean also that his buyers that his uh pilots are getting trained on a 16 that's already underway. so it is an important step for ukraine, definitely. and all that points, terry is escalation in the world, no longer an issue for nato countries. then it is still an issue, and this is, as we mentioned, one of the reasons why they have been really reluctant to give some types of weapons. because moscow always says this shows that nato's waging war against russia. and of course, that that's not the case, but i think what we've seen just in these past months, including, even just in recent days, rushes relentless assault, not just on ukraine's military, but on the countries infrastructure. and particularly audit civilians just continuously bombing cities killing children on the ground. i think that this really gets to nato leaders and they realize that ukraine is right that it needs a way to defend itself against these air attacks. all right, dw correspondents here schultz and presses for us. thank you. terry is always for

some support now in spain has won the football women's world cup for the 1st time. they bes england one know in the final, in sydney, australia to become the only 5th nation to host the trophy. it's the 1st time since 2007 that the win is, has been european. spain were assured their 1st ever ruled gun metal, no matter the outcome against england. spain's captain olga carmona struck the 1st blow in the 29th minute. caught him on the drill that passed mary hertz giving level the lead at the break. spain had the chance to double their lead after england's kira was, was called for a handful of the video, assistant referee took a while to decide to call, but eventually awarded the penalty spans jennifer. her most stepped up with mary
