what you love, the the, this is dw news live from balance ukraine science to allies for agreeing to supply at 16 find subjects. presence of landscape presence, european some of their seats as denmark, ended evelyn's pledge along the way to the west and will play. russia says that could escalate the war. also on the program rights activists say solve the protocol . it's field hundreds of on the e. c o p and my friends trying to across from yemen. and they've changed the death

amounts to a crime against humanity. plus tropical storm hillary battles california. it's the 1st storm of its kind to hit the states and more than 18 years. normally, power with areas could get a years worth of rent for the . i'm gonna have both as well come to the program as president for all of them is a lensky. how science ukraine's allies, denmark, and the netherlands for agreeing to provide keith with f. 16 find digits. the 1st day across could be delivered this year. then savanski says he's confident the jets will help in the war with russia. but moscow has well and the f sixteens will only escalate the conflict. a warm reception for ukraine's vladimir zalinski in

copenhagen. you address the crowds after denmark and the netherlands pledge to supply f. 16 fighter jets to ukraine. something that you have hopes will tip the balance in the war is once we, when we was supporting you together, we proved that is the way that freedom matters your matters. ukraine wants the 16 to update its aging soviet era. air force, the f. 16 entered service and then 19, eighties, thousands have been built. it remains the backbone of many nato and allied air forces around the world. the 1st few aircraft should reach ukraine by the end of this year. more will follow in 2025. rush as ambassador to denmark

has warned that the donation of 19 f. 16 aircraft to ukraine will only lead to an escalation of the conflict. but it will be a while before you cranes. new jets will make an impact on the battlefield. the airframes being supplied are likely to be quite old and will need extensive maintenance to remain in the air. ukraine will also need to train its pilots and mechanics. see how effective the f 16 will actually be in the end will depend on the weapon supplied with the jets. correspond to terry sills has been following this story from brussels when a to is headquarters. of course. tell you why did the decision to send do crane f sixteens take so long? we've been discussing this for ages. it's true and remember that president zelinski

was told he would never get these fighter jets just like he was told he wouldn't be getting leopard tanks and the zalinski effect has worked once again. and it turns out he will be getting some f sixteens, even if they're a bit old and need some refurbishing. so there are several reasons why it took so long. one of them is, of course, political reluctance. so you know that the countries are still worried about, about how it appears to be supplying such high calibre weapons to ukraine in, in addition to another lens and denmark had to ask the united states for permission to re export f sixteens because the us makes them and that just came in the last couple of days, but there are also logistical reasons and, and some of those are that there, they weren't pilots who are yet trained to fly them. and so that training is now underway for the last couple of months. they need to have the facilities available in ukraine to a to how is the 16th they need to be able to repair them. and so there are several reasons why. but of course, in creating would've liked to get these fighters just yesterday, so they'll be waiting anxiously for them now. now, as well as to be expected,

the russian, the best of this it, denmark, as we've heard, has, was that the decision to deliver this experience will only lead to an escalation of the conflict. is that a worry that and the corey doors of nato, h q? as i think we hear the kremlin, is being threatened to escalate the war every time someone helps ukraine. so this is something that certainly was expected of nato's very existence, is to deal with threats from russia. so i don't think it's going to be causing any particular concern. and leaders who used to use this as their own excuses. germany included, have now seen that russian doesn't hold anything back any way, even with only lower grade weapons supplied to ukraine. russia continues to bombard the infrastructure of the country. they're killing civilians by the thousands. so i think that that really is no longer an excuse anyone is using, and this was completely predictable from the kremlin ukraine's president zalinski. as today continued his european trip and has arrived in the greek capital athens.

what can we expect from the best right to a president? zalinski is joining an informal dinner of balkan leaders but also in attendance at that dinner. and this is the key point is european commission president ursula of wonderland and european council president trauma show. so we've been talking a lot about nato allies support for ukraine today. but remember, ukraine has also applied to join the european union. so certainly our president zalinski will be having conversations with borderline and michelle about his country's european union bid. he also may have a few things to say with some of the leaders of the balkan countries. remember that serbia is a strong and loyal supporter of russia. so president zalesky may want to have some words with the survey here. presidents, there is a dinner as well, process goes voluntarily, shows the thank you very much to us. from ukraine, we go to the boys, syria, wherever our size also engaged and is now carried out as strikes on the rebel base

of the province. the syrian observatory for human rights groups says, at least 8 fine to is from the jihad is minutes and group i out here, i'll show him what killed the group controls. launch pots of it lips, one of the last areas holding out against president bush wireless side of the strike is roches latest intervention. and serial. moscow has spent almost a decade helping a science regime, find a civil war that's killed more than 350000 people. the crammed in has blocked humanitarian nights at live province in the northwest, controlled by rebels and home to hundreds of thousands of displaced syrians, anger and russia. in a live, syria is last. rebel held enclave used to get here across the border from turkey. moscow recently used it's you and veto, to block the route. most goes, i,

like i said, regime has long considered the root a violation of its sovereignty. it wants any going to rebel hell territories to go through. the reason in damascus for people living in it live to eat had been a lifeline. one, they don't want under the control of their enemy. and we've been displaced to the camps because of rushes, injustice, and exxon imposed by it on the side regime. we for the rest and came here. most goes military support for said is still clear and carried out air strikes and it live just a few days before this protest, damascus. and moscow has claimed that there strikes only target insurgent groups. local say, 3 civilians died here and the numbers were working very hard and calling for an end to these attacks. to prevent the loss of lives, injury and the spread of talent and panic among civilians in the north western

region of syria unplug to a model of pseudo versa. begin air strikes like this. in 2015 to support said when he was losing control of large areas of syria to rebels. since then, your power has been credited for aside survival. russia has also boosted the syrian armed forces by sending wagner mercenaries to fight along side. the analysts have also observed parallels between military tactics used in syria and ukraine. for example, the brutal bombing and siege of a level a scenario that then later played out in mer you pulled in return. russia has gained a strong strategic foothold in the middle east and a vocal supporter that it's narrative about ukraine. and so it has called pollutants invasion, a correction of history. the situation for civilians and rebel controlled and live is similar to that for people in ukraine. and yet,

the western responds is significantly different. ukrainian forces resisting russia continue to receive support. and it lives many feel for gotten a band and and the other side isn't so loud in full, a 1000000 displays, paperless, threatened by new will of hunger and danger. for now, they feel they have no recourse but to continue protesting in hope that one day their voices will be heard from all this that's bringing christian hell book a journalist has written extensively on syria and effect just returned a couple of weeks ago from the existence of the spell it out for us. we've heard about russia mainly in the context of the ukraine will. so under the shadow of science, why is serious so important to russia right now? we'll see it's basically the longest restaurant and for an intervention during the last few years and serialize at the heart of the middle east. so you have tokens

and all of you have to golf out of countries in the southeast between iran and it's way. so it's a very crucial place to be special ed used to be put into the only last l i in the middle east. so he very much decided to keep him there. if to use the war to being russian back on the will stage of the will power. he built up 2 very important military bases, that an area one and a neighbor one at the port of tough twos, which makes celia the only russian access to the mediterranean sea. and this obviously helps put into control naples sub on slack. now russia, the said it was any a going to rebel how territories is through the regime in damascus. whose sense to gain from this, from this humanitarian situation? well, the fall of thoughts has a big win in this. obviously what happened during the summer is the rest of the tote and you and security resolution that was organizing. humanitarian cross border 8 and to areas not controlled by people talking to you. and then president assad

came up and saying, you know, guys who can talk to me, i will give you another 6 months for this one to 2 and 8. so it makes him look like somebody who takes care of his people. what in reality is the machine that is using this too many to 8 for use for his own personal power and grip on power. and now by that he is really back as a negotiated con, even for the written when it comes to post photo 8. and this is what putting once he saved us up and now he wants to rehabilitate him. internationally. a still hospitable in ukraine, effected the resources that russia could actually commit to aiding us on. well, 1st of all, militarily, obviously rush, i had to withdraw some attack ariel forces right at the beginning of the one you printing. and then it cannot make lee. i mean, putting has a lot of problems and its own front at home. he's under big constrained, he has the struggling with sanctions so he can not stabilize celia. neither can iran being confronted with less than the tensions and an uprising in its own country. so the big main support of the facade cannot provide with us updates most,

which is money. so he's waiting for financial aid. he's waiting for, it cannot make support by saudi arabia, the united arab emirates. they have normalized their relations with us on a lately in spring, but nothing has materialized on that for them to know. now the institute for the study of was just issued a report saying that russia is coordinating with the a sub to resume and iran to expel us forces from syria. can you tell us more about that? yes, i mean, what made the u. s. forces go there in the 1st place. this is important to remember . we only have 900, not the us forces they are, they went there in 2014 as part of an international coalition against the so called atlantic state. so the purpose was never to fight aside the purpose was to fight and to help the student, democratic forces, the crunch allies on the ground in fighting ices. what you've seen recently is that you run into some english team are deploying forces in materia to the east on to eastern syria,

which brings them in contact with the contact line with the s t f and the us. now this is a contact line. it's not the conflict line because both sides, the u. s. and the sds on one side and the regime and a running bush on the other side has always by to not to come into direct confrontation, military confrontation. they have very much try to keep it, come on that phone. so what is new here is that now the iranians and there seems to seem a spreading rumors that the u. s. would attack soon read the student assault territories at the s, the f, one to go into this territory, which is not what is going on, because they are really trying to focus it on the fight against isis, which is the idea is probably to create a hostile environment in eastern syria for the us forces which would lead to some attacks and could finally lead to a withdrawal of us forces. this, the reduced is to finish off codes autonomy, northeast, and syria, with the u. s. withdrawal. this would be the end of quarter. so autonomy and russia

has the chance to retaliate, retaliate a little bit for the u. s. 8 and ukraine. the gentleness person to help with that. thank you very much. a pleasure. price, actually this saba q. saudi arabian bought a gauze of killing hundreds of millions in a new report. human rights watch alleges that saudi troops have systematically carried out mass killings of my friends and asylum seekers at the bottom of the m and the gone. so even said, have used explosives, ravia as previously denied allegations of killings and writes, abuses by its frontier troops. each year, thousands of migrants, most from ethiopia, travel through yemen to reach saudi arabia. and some w. a. c, d, o schuman rice board representative, told me about the background to their records. yeah, good afternoon. thanks for giving us. and i'm trying to trying to show this is, this is a result of a 6 month long investigation, vitamin ritz watch into these killings between march of last year and june of this

year. and we insured a $42.00 people witnesses to us and then coupled with additional investigation, looking at hundreds of over $300.00 videos and photographs shown by mike. and so taking up the taking of the border and conduct to the widespread satellite imagery, analysis of the whole border area, it's not taught to migrate camps and my 2 groups. and also the secure to infrastructure of the border. and the switches that you said to, to complete the sudden protocol and so responsible this killing, of hundreds of thousands of migrants who have tried to cross that's across the board. now use same your thought that migraines have been targeted, but most are rounds and similar weapons even what else has been happening with the saudi border? yeah, there's um, you know, there's, there's might even come set up in the border and people are trained across into saw the radio. we spoke to people who were involved in new parts of large groups trans,

across the border who experienced multi rounds being 5. then we verified some of the wounds that they were teaching wins that was sent to us with forensic adopters to, to complete the these i, 2 wins were, were consistent with explosives, exclusive weapons. and we also heard people speak about their being shots with something smaller as being shot with, with bullets, all being asked indeed vice how they voted costs, which will then they would like to be shot to. and then they would then shot to him that live and survive is, are, are either take him back to the, comes in human, 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, as you mentioned, the united nations recorded these coming this fall back to this as i still a toe, but talking about hot 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 as being denial or simply no response. we just report, shut our findings with the saudi arabian government in very good time. well before publication welcomed an opportunity to do to engage with them 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 violent violating the rights of his own citizens and also competing the mass executions without you process. so, you know, i guess the question is if i, if i try to treat the own civilian, so 6 isn't systems of ongoing. why would they treat microns and different things? but, you know, we, we actually consistently continuously invites the opportunity to engage and meet meaningfully. meaningful discussion is how do you, right? yeah. and so what are your recommendations then for the next steps? i mean, 1st of all, you know, we, we call on saudi arabia to revoke. and the policy is explicit only facto to target

migrants with weapons and close range types of the border with yemen. we would call ourselves the also to investigate and discipline approach to church personnel responsible and we'd hope concerted countries will also probably be coal. i'm sorry, your re between that any of these policies send up to that on the human rights watch. thank you very much. thank you. so the tropical storm, hillary moves best way in california and after wreaking havoc in mexico. it's the 1st such storm to hit california in more than 80 years. full cost is a warning. it could bring a years worth 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. i'm

president of the 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 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 the i off jason compet donia. he's the head of the embassy news, radio bureau in los angeles to tell us how california is coping with his store or 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 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 that the campuses are safe. 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 the storm. was there enough advance 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 d, 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 into southern california fashion. we're not supposed to be in the, 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, big 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, something to do with climate change. that debate is definitely going to a day is coming down here. that's nbc news, radio and los angeles. thank you very much, jason. thank you. and we stay in north america, canada, and has sense military units to help tackle was size that have full thousands of people to leave the homes, hundreds of funds, the threatening citizen, british columbia, and the northwest territories. cool. the weather is helping 55 to to make some progress about this already been destruction on
