the west has recognized the danger all the signs with us. we really understand that are easily fail. uh, we will lose our concepts euro my done. the february 17th on t w the the us, it said it's top diplomat to the middle east 5 times since the home off terror attacks. it is real 4 months ago, each time us the secretary of state anthony blinking has arrived to find the risk of a wider war, greater the possibility of peace fading, even israel and the us that you seem to be talking past each other, blinking pushing for a pause and the finding a gaza is really prime minister netanyahu valley to keep the finding going. how many times will it take? how much leverage does the us have with its friends and its folks? i bring golf and berlin. this is the day, the

mama to the efforts to free our hostages continue. as i've already made, clear to the cabinets, we will not agreed to every deal, and not at any cost. for the government suggested the wire by any wise and by any john to bring all their hostages back home. every day we hear to facies file, but then it feels every day that was the day before. and many things i said in the media is if we've agreed to them like talk about freeing terrorist, we simply won't agree to these things. also coming up, buildings collapse like a house of cards. one year ago, a massive earthquake devastated south eastern turkey and many people. they are still struggling. i know this for some reason. i can't get used to this. i had

a big house, i had everything. and now i don't know what will happen, what will become with my kids, with all the rain and the cold. i sometimes told myself, god, i wish we had died too, as a family script associated account to our viewers watching on cbs in the united states. and to all of you around the world, welcome, we begin the day with another effort to bring calm to the middle east. you have a secretary of state entity blinking is in the region a mission of shovel diplomacy to secure another, sees fire, deal between israel and come off. and this is lincoln's 5th trip to the region since the almost terror attacks of october. subbing today blinking is in saudi arabia and he'll also be stopping in egypt guitar and is real of the proposed deal here with a well the phased release of these really hostages in exchange for public city and prison. we can also wants to prevent further regional escalation of the conflict.

for some analysis tonight, i'm joined now by natasha hall. she's a senior fellow with the middle east program for the center for strategic and international studies on x. she describes yourself as a proud error. american in natasha. we're happy to have you with this tonight. so this is anthony blinking 5th trip to the middle east since the october 7th and mos attacks. it is real. we are no closer to peace in gaza today than we were when blinking last visited. are we seeing the power of persistence in us foreign policy, or are we watching the erosion of that pop as well? i think in terms of a cease fire or a temporary cease fire, at least the negotiators that i am talking to are hopeful that that will come to be in the next few weeks. the question is the shape of that cease fire and the day after uh for many, including hundreds of humanitarian workers, a temporary cease fire simply wouldn't be enough. and even if it was in return for

the hostages, so this would essentially be a missed opportunity. i think in terms of american diplomacy to make sure that the next day is, is more palatable for posting into been suffering immeasurably for for months now. yeah. blinking is pushing for another humanitarian ceasefire for civilians at the same time. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu, i think it today actually was talking about total victory over her mos continued fi . did you meet? so it seems like we've got the leader of america's most important ally in the region. not in line at all with washington right now. yeah. and that's a big problem president biden. netanyahu have not spoken for weeks, but there is a lot of tensions there, but we're not really seeing uh, any changes in us policy as a result of those tensions. so conditionality upon is really aid or anything else

about matter. so we're, we're seeing continued discussions around hostage releases and our own temporary cease fires, but not really any kind of pressure on the is really government to discuss. you know the day after for, for gaza itself. and i think that that's, that's pretty dangerous because it, with netanyahu, you have a leader of a country who is in it really to extend this as long as possible to get out of his own issues with those you do sherry and israel himself. and so that's, that's a very dangerous place for, for the us to be in and for the region. and of course post indians to be in when it's to his benefit to pro long this as much as possible. i know that on the air upside though, there is trying to build a consensus around some kind of humanitarian see east fire and beyond the ceasefire . i know the answer, the blinking wants to solve the ground, france to commit to a normalization agreement with israel. if he can persuade nothing, yahoo, of course to end the conflict in gaza and to commit that finally to the creation of

a palestinian state. what do you think is the likelihood here that nothing y'all? who will shake hands with crown prince mohammed been so i mean, i think that yahoo would love to do that. i. i just don't think he wants to agree to building a posting in state. and i think on the saudi side, they also don't really have a political reason to sign any kind of real formalization deal within this presidential term. so we know that blinking has a lot on his plate right now. one headache happens to be the attacks by humans who the rebels on international commercial shipping. the who these are going to continue their attacks on red sea shipping. after the us and britain launched another round of air strikes. now the allies have hit dozens of targets inside yemen, including underground weapons,

depos missile systems and launchers ran backs, who sees they've attacked multiple vessels in the red sea since the beginning of the israel, a mos more in october. are these air strikes in your opinion? natasha, are they actually detouring the who well, it's uh, it's too soon to tell with the slightest brush of attacks the previous ones just a week ago and a couple of weeks prior to that don't seem to have deterred them much at all. and they're already showing defiance. i think the overall issue here is that the us has a short term strategy. everyone knows it has a short short term stretch strategy, stopping these attacks. and the who sees and many other actors in the region are and it's for the long haul. and so that kind of disconnect is, is really creating a terrible situation for, for regional escalation and potential instability in the future as well. and even ship of associations are, are asking for more diplomacy actually on this issue. we know that washington keeps

saying, you know, it does not want a war here. i'm wondering though are we witnessing a proxy war between the us and iran and sold before our very eyes right now. i think we've long seen that prophecy war places like iraq and syria for, for many, many years now. iran has been incredibly successful with its proxy groups in places like iraq and syria, and lebanon, and yemen and elsewhere. so i, i don't see any reason for them to, to tongue down their attacks unless they see a real us commitment to stopping them. and thus far, they seem to be quite successful and continuing to survive throughout these tit for tat attacks. but i think that's exactly what we're seeing a proxy war between around and the united states. the question is, how severe unhelpful island will it get? the tosh a whole from the center for strategic and international studies research. we

appreciate your time and your valuable analysis tonight. thank you. thank you. it's been a year since a massive $7.00. magnitude earthquake struck south eastern turkey and parts of syria. the quakes were followed by more tremors, just hours later, they called and president and devastation, more than 50000 people were killed in turkey alone. and over a 1000000 were left homeless. reconstruction efforts are underway, but progress is slower than the rapid rebuilding promised by turkish president richard pyre of air to one. our correspondent julia han, filed this report from the city that was hard to get the most and talk you this is what remains. of the once bustling city of untucked, abandoned department buildings lined the roads, reminders of

a life that no longer exist see if the year has passed since the quakes and in many places says still busy, demolishing damage buildings and clearing the russell. this neighborhood used to be home to thousands of people, but just look around. it's almost entirely gone a year ago to powerful earthquakes, patches, se kentucky be destroyed or severely damaged. some 300000 buildings across 11 provinces. experts say construction safety codes had been ignored on a grand scale. some lives could be rescued with many couldn't. today the official desk told stands at more than 50 phones and these graves in and talk, a monument to pain of durham dust. you lost his brother and his mother. he himself was trapped under the rubble for more than a day. he tells me. ok so. so just when i managed to get out after more than 30

hours. so it looked like the apocalypse. it happened and you said, no one knew what to do. i see that, you know, everyone had lost someone and the state wasn't there for us. there was no help me with a single mother a year later, hundreds of thousands in the disaster he'd region are still holding out in containers and other temporary shelters. like melick dustin and who invites me into her improvised kitchen. she's been living here for almost a year with her husband and 2 children, but others motion, but i can't get used to this. i had it because i had everything. and now i don't know what will happen, what will become with my kids with lorraine in the clothes. i sometimes tell myself, god, i wish we had died too. as a family scared those days. county, i should be honest as a police president bridget tire of ad one made hold, promises to swiftly refills across the region. how much it was. a goal in the 1st

phase is to complete the $319000.00 homes and village houses within a year. and hand them over to the wrong notes by the test, the mistake. but the reconstruction is progressing fluid and promised at this building sites on the outskirts of kentucky. yes, most of us, none. and his team are racing to get the 1st few 1000 departments ready in february . he attempts to explain the delays. sean india, to the biggest problem right now is the reason it's been reading hubble in the region. so they do a lot, but we're working non stop. i want to make sure earthquake victims can move in as soon as possible. the billboards like this. want to have sprung up across the city . you homes, you jobs a future. that's the talkers governments big promise. but as much as people here, one to believe, and it's many have little hope that life in the city will soon return to how it was before. many shop owners are improvising the sell from containers,

know that most of their former customers are either did or displace getting supplements understood to for them to be. we decided to do something on that wrong and to make ends meet. i have life has to go on. we hosted on talk. yeah, we'll certainly getting back on it. i also most of you said the high, you know, like i say everything will get better, but i'm not sure. i think it will take 10 or 15 years to rebuild the city on on this you lose all of the engineer. darcia is your candidacy. i'm a mother of 4 children. i'm fighting for them. we have to hold on somehow much. at least we are still alive, and that means there is whole units of our that makes and that whole is a crucial building block for the future to meet the ruins of untouched. yeah. well one year later, is there any accountability here to talk about that? i'm joined now by emma sinclair web. she's a senior researcher for human rights once turkey. she joins us tonight from stem

boat. it's good to have you with this. um, we've heard in that report that building standards building codes were ignored in that region before the quite happened. so one year later, do we know who is to blame for what reason will happen when the ground shook? well, yes, thank you for having me. i mean families in, throughout this as quick region are demanding justice for the appalling a building stands. it's that, uh tons, that homes hospitals all kinds of hotels and other public buildings into graves when the crate quakes struck. and i'm just as is proving to be very difficult into that because um, well there are ongoing trials of the real estate developers. a technical teams who a private contract is they are currently no trials yet. of public

officials who are responsible for green lighting. construction projects are responsible have a g, g o oversight and inspection issue building licenses and the ingredient trials. i wanted to ask you about that. they have said these, these safety, these code inspectors for the municipalities. they have said that they didn't know anything about the lack of safety measures in the buildings that they approved. how credible is that as well. i mean its not credible and basically uh, they have a responsibility to find out what is happening with the building a contract to can come with the projects and get the technical team to provide the project to the municipality. and also the provincial authorities in the ministry of environment and, and city planning a have

a responsibility of oversight. they have to check every level whether the project is being implemented according to the right standards. there are also, you know, private the, the contract it and inspectors as well. but ultimately, it must come down to public will far as ease to sign off on buildings by issuing the final a license that fit to live in. and that's the occupancy, what we see in many of the areas, including the area that judy hung visited with many buildings didn't even have licenses, no licenses of occupancy. that's a terrible indictment of the public authorities. and it shouldn't be in the, the, the governments, the local government, national governments interest for building safety codes, it to be met. it doesn't appear that that is the case. and how did you explain that? it's, well, i mean,

i think this is what needs to come out in a full investigation and what, what we have to get the 1st stage we have to get to is permission for public authorities to be investigated by the prosecutors. and turkey has an old no unfortunately, which means that in order to investigate the public official, you have to get permission from the states. so that has to be administered, permission given but now that can easily become a recipe for impunity. what we want is that the commission should be get on the prosecute, is to be able to go ahead with the prosecutions or proper investigations. and then in the trials of the real estate developers and others, we need the public will start to use to be present in the trials to in some cases as defendants, but without proper investigation. and then this is lagging behind all other efforts

of justice and is going to hamper the trials eventually of the developers because the developers are likely to say and they are ready saying and the expense. yes, that the municipality gave me permission. i built this building with a permit from the municipality because the be a lot of people passing responsibility on to others. i know that reconstruction in that area is going a lot more slowly than was promised by president richard. tell you of era one of the buildings that are being rebuilt, is there any way that people can be sure that these new buildings are going to be any safer than the house of cards that fell down a year ago? that's well, that's a very good question. i think, you know, turkey over the years has developed better investor buildings time, the regulations. but this is a patchwork, regulations that extend by yes, it's uh, a very complicated legislation around building complicated regulation on his

parents to these regulations. i mean, you know, it can only be done, we get it connected, b r, t. if people are brought to justice and, you know, it's, this is a forward looking us because, you know, took, is going to have many more as quakes. it's a, has a high risk of us quakes assembled have may have a huge a quick soon. and so this is not just for the victims. this is for the whole country that this needs to change. construction standards have to be upheld and enforced by proper inspection. and people have to take responsibility and only by being brought to justice. will that really ever happen? emma sinclair, with human rights watch a turkey. unfortunately, we're out of time in the we appreciate your time in your analysis tonight. thank you. the

taylor swift, the the village and the grammy goes to flowers. marley the there you heard it's e mail reformers. they took center stage this year's grammy awards with taylor swift. billy english modeling cyrus and says law. and don't forget calling me in the, getting the top prizes. it was a history making night for taylor swift. she claimed a record 4th album of the year award. she is says like someone else simply is my colleague, entertainment journalist page i, matthew, she joins midnight tonight from los angeles. i'm going to pull in some cooling, the gain poor as k,

j at the grammys. it was ladies night and the feeling right. and the feeling was all right, and sunday was elect, forget the grammy awards. you're right. the for top categories that they have at the grammys. all those awards which women. so we had out of the, you're going to taylor swift. we had song or the you're going to billy irish for what was i made for from the bar the motion picture. of course we have record of the year going to miley cyrus for flower, and we have the best new art is going to victoria. i'm on a so woman just shut out me in, in the top 4 categories and i'm here. well, i hear you taylor swift. i mean, she did make history by when he best out for a 4th time. and we were looking at the statistics here. that's 3 times more than the beatles to more than adele and one more then stevie wonder. and so i guess we can say that she is down now. definitely a music legend. as you know, it's hard to believe she's in her early thirties and she had this type of it really

is, i mean, you look at everything that she's rocking up throughout the last 12 i think for probably 24 months. and it's just astonishing to think this young girl is still in her early 30. she still has so many more decades ago in the music industry. and already, she's breaking a record and making history at the grammys. being the person only person to win almost a year for times just like i said, it's amazing. and there was a new category for african music this year at the grammys. and what does that tell us? k j is the african music? is it global music? now, you know, i think i think that the grammys have been trying to change their image just a little bit. i mean, they've had a lot of knocks thrown at them saying what you need to be more inclusive. look, you need to be more international. great music happens all over the world, not just in america, and i think they're moving towards that they as a category. and they awarded the south african senior tyler with the best african

music performance for her song water. but they also gave colombian senior carol g, which everyone loves the best music or band album. no more. so they are trying to bring more people into the bowl. they understand that this uh, graham, you were just seen all over the world, right. so people want to see them, you could listen to in their countries reflected in the grammy awards and not just american. ours is a great american. i love american artists, but i also listen to music from parties all around the world. you know, there was almost a real dark cloud hanging over the grammys last night. i'm talking about the weather. it made me think of this hits on from 1972. and i bet you know what else started a bit. you can finish the line, it never rains in california, but girls, don't they warn you? oh yeah, it never rains in said let me say a pores matter power. no. it hasn't been horrendous here. nonstop

alert on my phone about the storm. basically saying, if you don't have to go out of your house, don't lots of flooding all over los angeles county, and i to be honest with you, i thought that there would probably be a few artists that maybe were either late or didn't show up to the grammy's because of the weather. yeah, that wasn't the case. everyone made it is miley cyrus, joe, that she thought she was going to be late. she was stuck in traffic because of the weather. you know, they're having a lot of road closures and you have to go another way. and so the free ways over the last couple days if you play so yes, i will say it's probably will go down on record as being the what is grammy in the last decade and i'll ask you since we brought you live on to here with us right now, i mean, how bad is it right now and they'll weigh whether was it's bad uh, the los angeles unified school district already close certain schools. the mayor has broke into local television news and had a press conference. and basically they're really trying to get everybody to just

stay in their certain areas, obviously around the coastal area. do you live near the beach? like i do? yeah, it has to be extremely cock because the waves are coming up. you got that pick marine layer. and they're also telling people, even if it looks like you can cross a certain role when you see water coming, don't chance it because oftentimes it looks a little bit more cautious than it is and you get out there and you get stuck. yeah, off of the fire department, so don't try to be smart. don't try to put on your own. just stay at home is what they're saying. yeah. all right. i hear you live near the beach after the weather gets better. i'm coming to visit you entertainment journalist change they matthews in los angeles, k j. thank you. thank you. and finally the news that britons king charles has been diagnosed with cancer. buckingham palace has issued a statement saying the cancer was discovered well the king was undergoing a separate procedure for an enlarged prostate. the pallets did not say what form of
