southern california. the 1st raised form of its kind and 84 years has dropped more than half an average of years for the frame and parts of the tribes. southwestern united states, the hello inquiry, richardson, thank you very much for joining us. ukraine's president will let him or zalinski has thank the danish people for their support after denmark agreed to provide keep with f. 16 fighter jets. speaking outside the binge part of the copenhagen, he hailed the dames for standing with ukraine in the face of russia's invasion, denmark, hans and other ones became the 1st to pre and allies to commit to supplying keys with western war planes on sunday. so once he said, you crane was on course to win the war. today we are calling to them. that's russia
2:02 pm
will lose this war. but this is not, not the only main is being the main thing is what we prove with our victoria. we dollar a corporation. what you prove, supporting you create together. we prove that live is a value that people match or freedom matters your matters. and let's get across to our corresponding terry story. she's been covering the story for us from brussels. terry present lensky just delivered a speech. you heard the crowds cheering there. what's stood out to you the most from what he said, claire, i think just the rock star reception that was given to president zelinski was striking in itself. there were thousands of people in that square cheering his
2:03 pm
every word earlier, he was given an extended standing ovation in the danish parliament even before he gave his speech. so this must be very reassuring for zalinski as we see the numbers on support for new crane flagging in other countries, including germany, including the united states, the biggest contributor to ukraine. so i think that this must feel really good to him as he stands there and talks about solidarity and reminding europe that if you crane doesn't win this war, that it's their own fate. that's at stake. ukraine finally, getting the 6 teams has been asking for. but why did the decision to send them to ukraine? take so long. so there are a lot of factors that made this decisions take so long. of course you crane would have one of these jets yesterday and they were told that they would never get them as we've seen happen with other weapon systems, including the advanced tanks like the leopards of course. but there are some other logistical reasons as well. one of them being that, for example,
2:04 pm
denmark in the netherlands had to ask permission from the united states because that succeeds, are produced there. so before they can be exported to another country, the us had to agree which they did just in the last couple of days. clearing the way for the, for the contribution. the other thing is that you didn't have pilots who were trained to fly up 16 so now uh ukrainian pilots are being trained in europe. that program has just gotten underway in the last month or so. so that takes a while, and then they also have to have the facilities to deal with the address there in ukraine and be able to repair them when they are inevitably damaged. and we should say that in response, be russian and bastard to denmark is warned. both the decision to deliver a sixteen's will lead to an escalation of the conflict. how worried do you think nato is about these remarks? this is the same thing. the kremlin says, every time there is some, some new weapon delivered to ukraine, that this will escalate the conflict. but we haven't really seen russia hold back anything. and even with it, when the war was in its earlier phases and that russia is attacking civilians
2:05 pm
destroying ukraine's infrastructure. so i think that, well, some allied leaders used to use this as an excuse germany included. so that's largely been set by the wayside now, because we have seen that russia, it just stops it and nothing. and that the arguments that president, so lensky is making that rust is dominant to air. power is really costing so many thousands of lives really now holds more waste than whatever the crumbling may be threatening to. and speaking of germany, do you think that this now increases pressure on other native member states and including berlin to send other kinds of military assistance? i think it does. i mean there, there will be, for example, other countries joining what's often called the burn coalition in sending fighter jets sweden is considering sending some of its gryphons and training fighter pilots there. but you know what you create really needs for these jets is not just to fly them around and it's aerospace, but to have air to air missiles that they can attack the russian jets now. um,
2:06 pm
i should also point out that these countries are making ukraine pledge not to fly over russian territory not to fly into russian aerospace. they really do do put on a red line there so that the kremlin can't say that nato allies are sending you creating weapons that, that directly attack russia. but ukraine will very much be asking next. and in fact has already has already asked for these, these missiles that they can shoot the russian just out of the sky. well, thank you very much for your reporting. that is terry schultz for us in brussels. human rights watch has accused saudi arabian border guards of killing hundreds of ethiopian since march 2022. a new report by the n g o. it ledges that saudi troops have systematically carried out. mass killings of migrants and asylum seekers. after you. many saudi border guards are said to have even used explosives started. arabia has previously denied allegations of killings and human rights abuses. bias

2:09 pm
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're acting, 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 is, 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 un did none of these violations in our last year and son. and that's a through special procedures to the saudi authorities on the who say to a application by facilitating people's access to the border in them. and the, you know, the saudis, you know, basically deny that this is happening. that was research or nadia hardman from human rights watch. speaking to me earlier, we can turn now to some other world news headlines at this hour. beijing has given
