the 1st rainstorm of its kind and 84 years dropped more than half an average years worth of rain in the house of beat. normally dry south western united states, the hello, i'm clear, richardson, thank you very much for joining us. ukraine's president will let him hear zalinski has thank the danish people for their support after denmark agreed to provide keep with f. 16 fighter jets speaking outside the danish colonies in copenhagen, he hailed the danes for standing with you frayne. in the face of russia's invasion, denmark and another one came the 1st premium allies to commit to supplying keep with west for war planes. on sunday, was the lensky said ukraine was on course to win the war. today we are calling to them. that's russia will lose this war.
3:02 pm
but this is not, not the only main use team. the main thing is what we prove. with our victoria. we dollar a corporation. what's due proof supporting you create together. we prove that live is a value that people match or freedom matters your matters. let's go to across to our correspondent and need to expert kerry schultz. she's been covering story for us today from brussels. terry present as a lensky, they're delivering that speech to a roaring danish public what, what stood out about his speech to you. i think that's the thing that stood out and most claire was just how many thousands of people showed up to hear zalinski speak that he was received as a rock star by the danish public,
3:03 pm
even after the war has gone on for so long. early years he got an extended standing ovation in the danish parliament, even the forces spoke. so it's clear that deans wanted to show that they support him, the support ukraine and certainly with this decision to send the 16, this is not only moral support, this is definitely ongoing and even heightens military support. tell us more about that decision to send that 6 teams. why did this decision take so long? so for the ukrainians, of course they would have liked all of these high caliber weapon systems to be delivered yesterday and they've been asking for them for months. but just like we saw with this tank decision uh, the leopard they were told initially that they would never get these modern tanks. they were told they wouldn't be getting fighter jets. and now zalinski is continued push his continued repetition of how much difference it would make for his forces on the ground. and in fact, rushed his own behavior, continuing to show civilians to the store,
3:04 pm
you create the infrastructure from the air. all of these things factor into what used to be a lot of political reluctance to send these these fighter tests. but there are also some practical reasons. there weren't pilots trained to fly of 16 so that's now underway. they don't have facilities to deal with them. they don't know how to fix them. so all of those things are now in, on course to be a to be upgraded in ukraine so that they can actually receive these jets. now, the russian investors to denmark, we should say, has warned that this decision to deliver a 16 is going to lead to an escalation of the conflict. how worried is nato about these comments? a new only exist to deal with russian threats, of course. and this is the same thing that we hear from the kremlin every time anything is done to a ukraine. but certainly, as i said, the russian hasn't held anything back in, in trying to destroy the ukraine until ukrainian. so i think that that argument is certainly not carrying as much weight as it used to at the same time clear the
3:05 pm
countries that are contributing these, these high level weapon systems have made ukraine, promised that they will not be used directly inside russia, that they cannot go into russian aerospace with the fighter jets that for example, they can't shoot missiles directly onto russian territories. they can see the russian territory. they can simply use them to push the russians out of ukrainian territory. so the, the allies of ukraine are definitely making clear to ukraine. there is a red line to this. these cannot be used directly to attack russia. now, do you think this promise of a sixteen's increases pressure on other nato member states like germany and other kinds of military assistance that ukraine's been asking for? i think it definitely does, because once they have f sixteens, they would be able to fire more advanced missiles air to air missiles until now they just have the soviet made ming planes. and so they were much more limited into what they can do from the air. so there will be definitely be more requests made for air to air missiles. and again, as you mentioned, the german tourist system,
3:06 pm
the ukraine has been asking for that in germany is considering it. but we've also seen that public opinion in germany is not necessarily in favor of sending these longer range missiles to ukraine. so that's something that president zalinski will have to continue working on. thank you so much for reporting is always that is it. terry shields for us in brussels. a human rights watch has a cute saudi arabian border guards of killing hundreds of ethiopian since march 2022. and your report by the end jail with lenders 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 migrants, mostly from ethiopia, travel through young men to reach saudi arabia each year. so when nadia hardman is the author of that report and to research our human rights watch earlier,
3:07 pm
she told me more about her findings. so 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 to 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. i lodge groups and migrate the site and say, because you know, up to 300 people and people described, you know, killing fields of, of you know, dead and wounded 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
3:08 pm
sleeping around have they actually was of the dead migraines? and generally smaller groups trying to cross was faced with shooting spice out people to 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 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're acting, answering your question to the authorities. but what we just see is really, you know, um these terrible abuses. i mean,
3:09 pm
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 explosive weapons attack. and, you know, potentially a new, a current, but definitely the mass kevin, so something which is um to on knowledge a deliver escalation, old or the you, when 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 and then the, you know, the saudis, you know, basically deny that this is happening. that was research or an audio hardman of human rights watch. speaking to me earlier, we can take a look now at some other world news headlines at this hour. phase ring has given north korea's state carrier airfoil, the green light to restart commercial flights. china air travel between the 2 countries were suspended under who 2020,
