the, the, this is d, they'll be news live from the then ukraine gets more backing from greece. president zaleski says athens is now offering training for f. 165 pilots. this follows pledges from denmark, from the netherlands to deliver dozens of the war plains also on the program, raise us president joe biden views the aftermath of the deadly wildfires on hawaii and answers, criticism that his government was too slow to respond. the

no, i'm told me, old lady, but welcome to the program. greece has vowed to keep up its military support for ukraine and help with post war reconstruction. the plans came as ukraine's president village immerse. lensky health folks in athens with big prime minister can react with me. so tack is as well as balsam meters. and top you officials, president zalesky, sent to denmark and the netherlands for agreeing to supply. give with f. 165 digits in greece for offering to train ukrainian pilots to fly them as 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 cover was simple thing together. we prove that either way that the 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 rushes and bassett or 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. how effective the f 16 will actually be in the end, will depend on the weapons supplied with the jets. so why did it take so long for ukraine's allies to agree to provide these planes, dw correspondent and nato x. but terry schultz explains, i said it's true. and remember that president zalinski 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 caliber weapons to ukraine. in addition, the netherlands in 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's 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 it'll be waiting anxiously for them now. right, let's take a look at some of the stories making headlines. the head of rushes vag, numerous new group if any progression has published his 1st recruitment video since his armed rebellion in june for good and suggested he was an africa claiming who was busy making quotes. russia even greater on all continents you,
