strife that's in spanish fans interrupt years. the single girl put england out and crowned spain, the new champions of the world, the hello, i'm claire richardson. thank you so much for joining us. ukraine's president will let him hear zalinski has thanks. the danish people for their support after denmark agreed to provide keep with 16 fighter jets speaking outside the danish parliament . in copenhagen, he held the danes for standing with ukraine in the face of russia's invasion, denmark and another ones became the 1st to print in allies to commit to supplying heat with western war planes on sunday. so let's take a closer look at what's the lensky hub, say, adventures, thrashing me, styles,
1:02 pm
sheets our see this one in the world, and all the full scale war in the middle of you are. the risk was simply even seen the risk that your a will again, lose itself as a tabs as it has already happened. you know, i history and it was a risk then tyranny awards with again and it was a risk that the culture would lose again. so dw correspondent terry schultz has been covering that story for us from brussels. terry presidents, a landscape just delivered a speech to a cheering danish crowd. how, what's it out to you there? and what's your take away from his visit so far? i think the 1st thing i noticed, claire is just how many people turned out to hear him speak. that was a huge crowd and they are rusted in a fog over and over really giving zelinski
1:03 pm
a rock, a rock star reception, which was exactly what he hoped for. because his speech was largely about solidarity and trying to keep the dean with ukraine. they have been very big donors, as you mentioned, they were among the 1st countries together with another lives to decide to send a success teams to ukraine. so his speech was about how we're all in this together . and reminding denmark that if the russia were to win this war, europe space is at stake as well. yeah. now that announcement that ukraine will finally get the f. 16 fighter drugs that have been asking for for months, has met with somewhat mixed emotions in ukraine itself. there's happiness, obviously, that they're getting this upgrade to their air defenses, but also a bit of disappointment that this isn't happening faster. why did this decision takes a long as well as the beginning. remember that they were told they weren't be going to be getting fighter jets at all. so we've seen this trajectory happen before, like with tanks, that they weren't going to get the leopards and then they would get the leopards. but it does take time to move these weapons in the another was case where for
1:04 pm
example, we know that the 42 f sixteens that it has are it's entire fleet at the moment. and so they're waiting on other jets and they need to keep some of them there at home before they send some onto praying. this is the case for denmark as well. they would like to get a 30 fives in place before they send off their f. 16, there are other logistical reasons. uh, the pilots have to be trained at the moment you cream didn't have any pilots train to fly at 16. so that is underway right now. and these, these pilots are being trained in europe. they have to have the facilities to manage the f sixteens. they have to be able to fix them when they, when they break down. so there, there are plenty of reasons why it's taking so long. i think they would've liked the decision to come a lot sooner. so that perhaps those months of preparation would already be over. now since pressure has invasion of ukraine, um they've always been concerns that with each round of sending more military support to crime that, that going up the mc i risk a russian retaliation. have those concerns now been laid to rest as i
1:05 pm
think moscow very much wants nato to believe that there will be retaliation. but remember, it's not nato who's sending any of these, these weapons. it's individual countries making those decisions for themselves. and yes, most of them are nato allies, but that's not, they're not doing that as, as nato a, that's just a, a russian narrative. it's been repeated and repeated. you can never be sure that russia won't do something in retaliation, but the attacks that they've continually lodged against ukraine attacking infrastructure, so many civilians, dead. i think that what leaders have come to realize is that rush or really isn't holding much back. it is, it is not a keeping it's, it's a tax just to the ukrainian military. so there's not that much left to lose it. they help ukraine defend itself in a better way. obviously, another important piece of this puzzle is continuing public support. looking at the
1:06 pm
united states and germany, public support for military aid does appear to be flagging some watch. is that going to be a concern for nato allies? it's a huge concern, especially if, if both the support is lagging and the wealthiest countries like germany and the united states. now the u, as does remain the biggest uh, contributor of aid to ukraine. but you've got a presidential election coming up there and you have some republican voices saying that they don't believe that so much money should be going to help ukraine. so this is going to be of increasing concern as you head into the election season there in the united states. and i think the vitamin ministration is probably feeling this time pressure very keenly and wanting to get in the pipeline as much as it can to ukraine. before by and really has to concentrate on what the voters want, as we're seeing the public opinion shift away from support for ukraine. well, thank you. as always for your reporting, that is terry schultz for us and brussels. so we can bring you up to speed. now, with some other world news headlines at this hour,
1:07 pm
anti corruption outside or candidate bernardo other law has swept to victory and watch them all as presidential election rental. with almost all the votes counted, he led former 1st lady senator torres, 58 percent to $37.00 poverty violence and corruption, top motors concerns ahead of the boat. morning cons donald trump is confirmed. he will not attend the 1st public in primary debates and to be held on wednesday. trump has a huge lead among republican voters and posted the public knows who i am. the ex president remains as parties frontrunner that is despite numerous criminal charges related to his fail but to overturn his 2020 election defeats greek authorities have ordered several villages to evacuate. as a major wildfire continues to burn near the turkish border in the northeast. officials have urged residents in the nearby port city of alexandra for us to stay
1:08 pm
inside you to smoke from the blaze. and canada is sending in the military to help deal with wildfire. is that a force thousands to flee. hundreds of fires are burning in british columbia in the northwest territories and threatening cities. canada is experiencing it's worth while fire season on record to and that says tropical storm. hillary is now inundating the us state of california after wreaking havoc and mexico. the us state has not experienced such a storm in over 80 years forecast as a warning. it could bring a years worth of rain fall to desert areas tropical storm hillary lashes california as it travels north from mexico's pacific coast in a region prone to drones and wild fires. this storm is a historic weather event and unprecedented. we've had storms before,
1:09 pm
but never anything quite this windy and rainy at the same time. there's a big tree that just fell over there. and i probably shouldn't be out here. the state of emergency has been declared in much of southern california in the los angeles area. residents have been warned that although the storm is weakening as it moves, inland danger remains. first of the range is potentially left to come. we will continue with our mission and our primary mission, of course, is to protect the lives of angelenos and their property right now. it is critical that angelenos stay safe and stay home unless directed otherwise by safety officials classes have been canceled in schools across the region. as millions brace for flash floods and much slides, the national weather service is warning of potentially catastrophic and life
1:10 pm
threatening flooding. and at a recent un security council meeting, several countries have called a for the election court or to be reopened and our for media and as are by john to normalize their relations. after decades of arms conflicts, the legend court orders armenia is only connection to enclave in a corner car box and carries a central aid to the region. the core door has been blocked by otherwise on for 8 months. now, observers are calling a situation there, a humanitarian catastrophe report at least 120000 people are an urgent need of food medicine and other supplies. a walking 20 kilometers in the scorching heat to get water with almost no fuel left walking is the main form of transportation. people have to queue for hours just for staples like bread
1:11 pm
. that's the new normal for people. like many of them and stuff. i'm not here, not going to cut off. the armenian has been documenting everyday life under the blockade, and works for the human rights ombudsman ultimate. gordon will cut off many house dw, she hasn't been to a store in 2 months, because there's simply nothing to buy. every day people tremble to survive, just to be able to meet the meet the most basic needs. but with every day it's becoming more and more challenging to humanitarian situation. in that goal, no kind of boss appears to have worse and recently after armenia accused as or by john of completely book hating the only road connecting they're going to cut our boss to armenia. the international rec costs as it has been unable to transfer to humanitarian age, to the civilian population. since july independent verification has been impossible because the blockade prevents international journalists from reaching the region.
1:12 pm
but many accounts correspond with what human rights organizations have been reporting. i was not sharing much before the situation really and got unbearable. i was not complaining months, so that's my, you know, friends and family don't feel bad, but i understood that i need to raise awareness even in the bedroom. the somehow being vulnerable, you know, showing my peers so far international efforts to break the deadlock have had no success until they do so. people often are going to cut off are facing difficult times ahead. let's get more on this story from marcel versus a the south caucuses director at the, for the fittest, over at foundation. thank you very much for taking the time to speak with us on d. w at armenia has a cute as or by john of blocking the lashing port or can you help us understand why this is happening as well? we have to see all of this as part of the optimal across the 2020. more. um do you
1:13 pm
need organization since then our ongoing about the future p scenario for the salt congress. it's without, without suggest any resolve and it's basically a policy crating. i'm actually more pressure on our maintenance. we've been in contact with an alternate. they've mentioned that cease fire has been in place since 2020. i'm. is this now creating fears that conflict will escalate again as well. the danger is always there and see narbey. yeah. you clearly see that's principal trenches. i've built a lot to florida twice that my job, which i have to state has not been demark hated. and people fear, of course, that there could be about the war because the cube political situation. it's as it is the moment and nobody is really able to provide any aids, are pretty practical terms to our meeting at the same time. germanium all forces us 2 weeks after the loss of the previous war. and of course, that's
1:14 pm
a big theaters we may have to make based on the salt congress. and we mentioned those calls from some countries at the united nations. do you think that those are going to be affective in any way? at the moment? i don't see that's the moment i don't see that suits you because of the west especially, but also russia. i cannot commit an what's on the ground basically. so there's nothing that we can do um to well, to, to prevent anything, anything worse at this very moment. um, what would be good, for example, would be starting with the fact finding mission, for example, body costs up here at the united nations to see why don't we happened to give me a call back. because if you've just mentioned journalists or you can, as far as i know diplomatic stuff, no excess, i'm not going across the don't we don't for you know, what's happening on the chrome. that's if there's an emergency to such
1:15 pm
a fact finding mission would be possible given as you say, that it's so difficult for external observers to see what's going on as one of the members of the council. they are both members into united nations. and i think the whole world has an interest in that piece as finally coming to the region. i'm furthermore, we have an important regional player such as turkey, for example, president got enough once he likes to see what the state for more years and power course church has a strong influence and also for john cherokee is an angel member strongly aligned with the west so that is one of the issues and also russian trim model force seems to be a number of war because russia itself is weak. you, we see that the conferences, however, russians didn't want to play the ones on the grounds as of now, but they cannot help their traditional m, i r r media because they simply cannot worth reading. i mean, there's no troops or anything else. well, thank you. so much for taking the time to break that all down for us on did help
1:16 pm
you that is more servicing from the steve features if i should have done anything. well human rights walk has a cute saudi arabian border guards of killing hundreds of ethiopian since march 2022, a new report by the end, gea with ledgers that saudi troops have systematically carried out. mass killings of migrants and asylum seekers at the many saudi border. guards are said to have even used explosives. saudi arabia has previously denied allegations of killings and human rights abuses bias border guards. thousands of my friends mostly from ethiopia. i travel through government to reach saudi arabia each year. earlier, i spoke to nadia hardman, a researcher at human rights watch who put together that report. and she told me more about her process of putting this together. i thank so much for having me on your program. i interviewed uh 42 migrants and asylum seekers who attempted to
1:17 pm
cross the border between and march 2022 in june 2023. we did all of these interviews remotely because it is impossible for us to access the border region of human and most devices now stranded inside human and some a lot of them with lifelong injuries. um, so yeah, i interviewed them via telephone, but also one important thing that we did conduct a digital investigation which really exposes visually what is happening. we analyzed of a $350.00 videos on photographs which showed that a wounded migraines along the migrant trial. and through satellite imagery were able to plot saudi border guard post all along the border, demonstrating that societies knew or should have known that they were firing on migrants and asylum seekers and women and kids. really. let's talk about little more about the sorry for jumping in, but i just want to be clear that our audience understands what exactly we're
1:18 pm
talking about here. um, in your report, you described people being fired on by saudi border guards with the explosive weapons at close range. can you tell us what else is contained in this report? i mean, it's a, it's an extensive report which sets out, you know, how these kennings, which we say uh, my, uh, widespread in systematic in may, amounts of crime against humanity are being conducted. and as you said, you know, we've confirmed explosive weapons use because we send images that people send me of the injuries to forensic experts who confirmed that they are consistent with the last and fragmentation coming from explosive weapons. and so generally what we found is that sadie bought a gods with firing explosives. people said more to projectiles, and they so rocket launch is mounted on top of the vehicles and large groups of migrant and assigned. so you can see, you know, up to 300 people and people described, you know, killing fields of, of, you know,
1:19 pm
done. and when did migraines? as i said, one survivor who has a 14 year old girl said she woke up after passing out and shock. and so people were sleeping around have they actually was of the dead migraines? and generally smaller groups trying to cross was faced with shooting spice, already bought a guys, you know, that really quite terrible stuff where people said that they were asked what's the name of that body. they wanted to have shots and then they were shocked to that. and then as i said, many people have now lifelong injuries and stranded with limited medical assistance and inside them. and so, i mean those details are really showing in the report. i also saw that you have written that many of these people were then later held in saudi detention. what do you think the idea was behind that? i mean it's, it's difficult really to put ourselves in the minds of the perpetrator here the sun go to god's and um, you know, the authority under which they are acting,
1:20 pm
answering your question to the authorities. but what we just see is really, you know, um these terrible abuses. i mean, we've been documenting most attentions for years found inside saudi arabia. but this time for use of detention facilities, you know, off to surviving space of weapons attack. and, you know, potentially a new a current, but definitely the most kidding. so something which is um to on knowledge, a deliver escalation, old or the you, when did, and none of these violations, you know, our last year and sent a lot to through special procedures to the saudi authorities on the who's a, to a and bookcase it by facilitating people's access to the border and them and the, you know, the saudis, you know, basically deny that this is happening in the report. one thing that stood out to me is, as you say, that you are alleging a shift toward more systematic killings rather than isolated instances. why is this distinction is so important to and what does your organization calling for,
1:21 pm
in terms of next steps or yeah, i mean, it's important because we cite may amounts or crime against humanity. and you know, that really raises it to a level of international crime. and i, you know, and the fact that it's a passion that we've, you know, i'm says it's not just a occasional or infrequent, it's randy. so, you know, many people i spoke to described, you know, basically the same pass and events being fired on by explosive lessons or strapped up. we're quoting immediately for the saudi authorities to cross the border guards and not target migrant. some asylum seekers, not the 1st and foremost cool and recommendation, and on the international community to put as much pressure as possible. we started ready to just such a good job of deflecting its attention. you know, i of, of, it's a human rights record, but we hope that won't happen in the case of the surrender scribes. i lost the i'd say that we're quoting on the un to establish an un backed investigation, to see if these kennings do actually amount to a crime against humanity. is there
1:22 pm
a deliberate policy? there seems to be a day hunter, one in place to talk it my grandson is on and see, cuz if he opens at his border with them. and so thank you so much for taking the time to join us onto the news with that. but it's not hard meant from human rights watch. thanks a lot. i'm well, spain is celebrating its 1st time championship at the women's world cup. they beat england one now in the final in sydney, australia to come only the 5th nation to hoist the trophy. spain were assured their 1st ever ruled. got metal, no matter the outcome against england. spain's captain olga carmona struck the 1st blow and the 29th minute caught him on the drove it passed. mary hertz giving level her the lead at the break of spain had the chance to double their lead after england's kira was what's called for handle. the video assistant referee took
