5:02 pm
ukraine is own cause to win the war to day we are calling to them. that's russian will lose this war. but this is not, not the only main is being the main thing is what we prove. with our victory, we dollar a corporation. what's due proof supporting you agree? together we prove that lives is the value that people mats are freedom, matters your matters without them is it ends the speaking, then i'm no joint products on the middle that he's a member of the german parliament for the pro business liberal ftp policy, which is part of john's the shoulds governing coalition, and he sits on the problem into a defense committee. now, do you think the decision to deliver at $165.00 to just to ukraine by denmark and
5:03 pm
benevolent increase has no pressure on the government of which you are parties, a member to step up german military. i to you, right. i think germany is doing quite a lot to and i think this special decision to deliver. i have 16 jets does not have something to do with delivering for example, um a christmas science that that is discussed in germany. indeed. but as germany as this 2nd um biggest um deliver else weaponry, i don't think this additional pressure now. you mentioned the cruise missiles and you've mentioned before, then you're in fav of germany, providing ukraine with these taurus as they are called cruise myself. and so is a finance minister across san let not chance the old off shows and the economy minister a little bit how back represented old policies in the government. so what's the hold up then? that's a good question. it a secret. there's
5:04 pm
a company say in germany that it is the chancellor and some of this stuff that is called the so called windows system. it's not the secret committee that decides if those references are delivered on to my knowledge. child specialists as not yet fully convinced to deliver, and that is a reason. okay. in theory powers, myself could be used to attack russian territory and not just rushing force isn't occupied. you cried. a. could that be the reason that charles is hesitating? and are you convinced that ukraine a will not target russia with western long range width? and i'm both, i'm sure of both. i'm sure that chances are shots. it's hesitating the cause of exactly this. if you crane would use these christmas sites and which make of color throw damage, for example, this of civilians in, within russia. we would have a severe issue. uh, and he wants to prevent this, not the s. we know ukraine was
5:05 pm
a very, i always did what we, what we expected from. so i'm though i have no fear that ukraine would miss use those weapons. now the ukraine bowl has prompted german a chance that off salts to announce a radical increase in military spending with the coalition government created a special $100000000000.00 euro fund for defense is stopped. money actually be spent yes, it is spent. um, it is so that these weapons are not standing in the screen in the windows of some dealers. we have to order them and they have to be built to auda. so that takes 2 or 3 years. but in the end of this year, we have 2 sides under contracts and have audits um at least 60 percent of this while you and additionally to these 100 billions for our own despair, there are 10 more billions for us applying the ukraine that now germany is
5:06 pm
a major arms manufacturer, but it has very, very restrictive export regulations for good reasons. and do you think the government needs to relax these weapons expos rules to allow its allies lives? ukraine more flexibility. yes, i think we need some arrangements on our x part policy, and this is part of our coalition contract that we have within the so called i'm put a correlation. we're gonna make a new law that will be adapted with all the knowledge that we received from the ukraine war in order to support our allies, even if there is a war, if we have to support them for our strategic interest. so i'm disputed and the government to this is disputed indeed because it's a, it's a big change of german politics. you know, in the, in the last 4050 years we have very,
5:07 pm
very strictly exporting policies. but that left to, to um, disadvantages for germany. if we calibrate with other countries, for example, developing a new fighter jet and other countries didn't want to have us in because we have so restrictive and they want to export that stuff. and that's made, it's not easy. so we, we have learned from this and we were to change these policies of the drum and the low my products on the middle of, from the free democratic policy. thank you very much. rights activists. so q as a saudi arabian bought a gods of killing hundreds of ethiopians. human rights, sports religious that saudi troops have systematically carried out. mass killings of migrants and asylum seekers at the border with you haven't gone so even said to have used explosives. saudi arabia has previously denied allegations of killings and rights abuses by its frontier troops. thousands of my friends most from
5:08 pm
ethiopia, travel through them, and to reach saudi arabia each year. now let's speak to some w, he's the managing the director of the digital investigations lab. as a human rights sparked some part of the team that reviewed this report, how did you verify the information? yeah, good afternoon. thanks for joining us. and i'm trying to trying to show this is this as a result of a 6 month long investigation by human rights watch into these killings between march of last year and june of this year. and we interviewed uh, 42 people. witnesses to use that and then coupled that with aditya investigation, looking at hundreds of over $300.00 videos and photographs soon by migrant. so taking that, taking the border and conduct to the widespread satellite imagery, analysis of the whole for the area to map how to migrate counseling, my 2 routes,
5:09 pm
and also secure to infrastructure. i have to pull it up. i'm not flex. was like you said to, to complete the southern protocol and so responsible the killing of hundreds of thousands of migrants who have tried to cross that costs are now use same your thought that migraines have been targeted by mulch or rounds and similar weapons even what else has been happening with the saudi border. yeah, there's no there's, there's not even come set up in the border and people are trying to cross into saudi arabia. we spoke to people who were involved in who parts of large groups, trends across the board, the experienced multitudes being fired. then uh, we verified some of the wounds that they were teaching wins. it was sent to us with forensic adults as to to complete these actual rooms. what um, what are consistent with explosives, exclusive weapons? and we also have people speak about being shocked with small groups being shot with, with bullets or being asked indeed by saudi protocols, which within,
5:10 pm
they would like to be shot to. and then they would then shelton that live i survive is, are, are either taken back to the counts in yemen, or some of those have been taking him to detention center has been sent to you right now, have you confronted the saudi government with this? and what was their response? yeah, the you know is, as you mentioned, the united nations recorded these coming this fall back to is as i so up to about talking about what several 100 that as we have also investigated these killings. and so coming down the border since $22014.00 all along this time is how it is response is being denial or simply no response. we just report, shed our findings with the saudi arabian government in very good time, well before publication, and welcomes an opportunity to engage with and constructively. but they've just been consistently ignoring us. um, now we should also not forget us out. your writers become one of the most repressive and violent governments in the world, systematically binding to violating the rights of its own citizens and also come to
5:11 pm
convince us executions without you process. so, you know, i guess the question is if i, if i try to treat the own civilian, so 6 systems on ongoing, why would they treat microns and differently? but, you know, we, we actually processing the continuously invites the opportunity to engage and meet meaningfully, meaningful discussion this. how do you write? yeah. and so what are your recommendations then for the next steps? i mean, 1st of all, you know, we recall on some of your regular to revoke any policy is explicit only facto to target migrants with weapons and close range types of the border with yemen. we would call on saturday also to investigate and discipline of persecutors. church personnel responsible and we'd hope concept countries will also probably be cool on, sorry, you're right between that any of these policies summed up to that on the human rights watch. thank you very much. thank you. let's take
5:12 pm
a look now at some of the other stories making headlines today and is really woman has been shot dead and the man seriously wounded in the occupied westbank that call with shots from the austin vehicle is really ami, has launched the manhattan for the attack us violence and the west bank has risen shop the recently a british nurse has been sentenced to life in prison for the mother of 7 newborn babies. lucy leslie was also convicted of attempting to kill another 6 infants at the hospital in northern england. a judge handed to rat whole life order, and that means he should. she will never be released. you have pro that's all it isn't grace. i've ordered several villages to evacuate as a wall. 5 birds via the turkish boat and the northeast of the country. officials are urging residents in the pulled city of alex sunbrook for this to stay inside because of the smoke. a tropical storm. hillary is battering
5:13 pm
california off the wreaking havoc and mexico. it's the 1st stone to hit california in over 80 years. full cost is a warning, it could bring a years worth of rain full in just a few days. tropical storm hilary 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 so on this before, but never anything quite this windy and rainy at the same time was 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
5:14 pm
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 mud slides, the national weather service is warning of potentially catastrophic and life threatening flooding. and i also, jason compet, donia, they hit of and dizzy news radio bureau in los angeles. to tell us more about how california is coping with a storm. right now, it's pretty bad. there's a lot of flooding in our city streets. there's been a lot of rain in our mountain areas. and what happens is over the next 12 to 24
5:15 pm
hours, that water is going to see down through the top soil. and when it hits bedrock, the whole face of, you know, certain parts of the mountain areas will then slide off. the terrain here in southern california is not ready for the amount of rain that we've sustained over the past. 48 hours. in some parts we got $8.00 to $9.00 inches of rain and that's more then several areas i've seen in an entire year out in the desert areas and away from los angeles county. but trees can still topple over power lines can still fall down. there's still a lot of potential that's why we closed all the schools, the public schools here in, in los angeles. because we have to get crews now into the schools to assure the campuses or say, we don't know of when maybe, you know, destroyed parts of roofs or anything like that. so we're just trying to be as cautious as possible right now. so i'll people well prepared for the impact of this
5:16 pm
storm. was there enough advanced warning? so no this, that's the short answer. no, we're not ready for the weather event like this. we are southern california or $75.00 and sunny $300.00 days out of the year. last year we did have a pretty good winter, lots of snow and we weren't ready for that. either. all the extreme conditions is not what southern california is used here. we did get reports that there were some grocery stores that were limited on items um, some of the grocery store shelves were in de, especially on some of your, um, your main items like bread and milk and things like that. um, but it wasn't, it wasn't too bad. and people did he, the warnings of officials, the base started warning us, you know, a few days ago. so at least southern california taken seriously. but then in true southern california fashion, we're not supposed to be in the,
5:17 pm
in the water in the pacific ocean, but there's hundreds of servers out there even as we speak. now, this is hardly the 1st big weather event in the us this summer direction. this has affected the discussion, the political discussion on climate change in the us. you know, climate change here in southern california is a very hot button issue. and while california as a whole is very less leaning, which believes in the climate change, there are pockets of conservatives in southern california, been pockets. and the conservative side really they don't believe the climate change is anything. so it depends on what side of the aisle that you fall on where that comes. but i can guarantee you that in the next day or so, governor gavin newsome here in california will say something definitive about climate change. or there will be some sort of law major that you know, right? something about a warning system,
5:18 pm
something to do with climate change. that debate is definitely going to state is coming down here. that's nbc news, radio and los angeles. thank you very much, jason. thank you. know kind of the, a sent military units to help talk a while files that have forced thousands of people to leave the whole hundreds of fires, a threatening citizen, british columbia, and the northwest territories. cooler weather is helping firefighters to make progress, but it's already kind of goes west was fast season since reco, it's because it's counted as worst wildfire season on record. the burn gland adds up to an area larger than ireland. international fire crews are on hand to help battle the blazes. a state of emergency has been declared in british columbia and canadas. federal government has stepped in. as canadians are seeing in the heretic images, they see of devastation and the fear
5:19 pm
of a residence in northwest territories. and in b. c. it is an extraordinarily serious situation. 35000 residents have already been evacuated in british columbia. colona is one of the worst seed areas. the fire spread rapidly there over the weekend, growing more than 100 fold inches, 24 hours, fire cru, see if the improve, the weather conditions hold. they could gain the upper hand. you're finally feeling like we're moving forward rather than we're moving backwards. and that's a great feeling for all of us to have him saying that make no mistake. there will be difficult days ahead, with many residents, anxious to return home authorities or warning, tens of thousands more could still be forced to evacuate. of the
5:20 pm
un security council as urgent armenia and azerbaijan, to normalize relations of the decades of armed conflict. as these 5 is currently in force, i mean he is only connection to the disputed enclave of nicole in a car. box car is essentially a through the election car it on. as of a, john has blocked the code of for the last 8 months of service warning of a human to terry and catastrophe. 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. that's the new normal for people, like many of them and stuff, and the kids 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 by many healthy w. she hasn't been to
5:21 pm
a store in 2 months because there's simply nothing to buy. every day. people travel to survive just to be able to meet the needs, the most basic needs, but with every day it's becoming more and more challenging to humanitarian situation in that going to cut our boss appears to have worse recently after armenia accused as or by john of completely blockading the only road connecting the gartner kind of box to armenia, the international red cross as it has been unable to transport human to terry an age to the civilian population. since july independent verification has been impossible because the blockade prevents international journalists from reaching the region that 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 my you know, friends and family don't feel bad, but i,
5:22 pm
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 the people, it's not going to cut off, are facing difficult times ahead. i'm no joined by lawrence bra sees an associated fellow at the chatham house, russia, and you raise you program a welcome to dw, can you walk us through why i was a bit, john block, the latch in colorado and the 1st place as well. this carto was agreed in november 2020 at the end of the one that as a by john one at the time it connects carbo with a media. and as about john initially blocks the card or in december and eco activists, that were supported by the state blocks the card to protesting the movement of natural resources. that would be mind in car law through the car to into media.
5:23 pm
subsequently as about john has said that the car to has been used for the smuggling of mines and other ministry equipment to, i mean you and units that it says needs to withdrawal from the toiletries. ask for the cease fire agreement. um, but you know, since april, uh, as a by john has in store to check points on the budget code. oh, so it is actually able to control and have oversight of what's going along the corridor. and that suggests that the stakes are actually much greater. this is about control of board as a, as a by john wants to control access to car. but remembering that the 2021 left a very dangerously incomplete victory in place as the by john was to have control of a hold of an important car. but not just part of it. and i think there's this sense and as a by john that this a once in a lifetime gender of that once in a lifetime went to the generation opportunity to end this conflict. and that is what is driving the determination to, to keep this book a going and as
5:24 pm
a by john now who has the pol to influence as a, by john to end this blockade as well as the by john is in a very interesting uh, jim political sweet spot. uh, i would say uh russia is traditionally the back to that has influence uh in, in this complex setting. its been very much distracted, of course, uh, buying the triangle. and uh, yeah, uh it did come to forward to uh, irritated, upset us about john right now. uh, the us and the you are those mediating uh, peace talks between army, you're nice about john and they have limited leverage. i think we saw that the united nations security council discussed this situation last wednesday. no statements, no resolution emanated from that discussion. i think the only power really that has influence over us about john today is turkey. the,
5:25 pm
the 2 governments are very close the links of the past, the level with richard, the type of the one and presence, you know, how money is being very close. but turkey has no real interest. i think in using his leverage to, to change the situation on the ground and car, but he is looking for a solution to this cause i don't want us to buy johnstone to now. so what is it going to take them to bring peace to this region briefly if you can? well, we have the interest state level of negotiations that are ongoing. but, but i think what's critical here is dialogue between us and by johnny state and the car behind minion population in colorado. and that's going to take, you know, a very long time, we need a smaller scale steps to rebuild confidence. and unfortunately, this blockade is taking things in the other direction. so it's for us stuff on the shots, i'm house, think tech. thank you very much for joining us here on to the news. as
