struck just 60 minutes ago or so what information do you have for us at this time. well according to the official information we have according for interior ministry that in the say they have reports of 6 buildings that have collapsed after this 1st quake and according to is measures mayor who has a full mayor is they have received the reports of 20 buildings that have collapsed so far we don't have is so actually the rescue and search teams are dispatched to the area that's why we will be able to learn more accurate information as soon as they reached they reached the ground by the what we have heard from the resources that they have also asked for extra vehicles an extra personnel for that would be that would help for the search and rescue teams and according to the operational information so far it's 3 districts have been heavily impacted by this 1st break up

of the voyager and bore no off and if we're born about this frank and official sad since it's and i've recalled every out and it's a lowland there is not cry damage but what we see on the pictures of the damage seems to be high and there are rooms because of these of buildings collapsing because of the concrete and really see those fearful who are trying to get to the area and also turkey is disaster management agency made an announcement saying that people choose them flock to the areas because they're causing traffic jams so that's why it is get that is more difficult to reach to the area as this is the situation on the ground and what we have what we have so and what we household far as an information about the earthquake it was 16.5 to 14.5 kilometers deep underground so it was

a heavy shake for is made the spike this western coastal city is used to some earthly cause for for the last one year turned his western cause has been has meaning. it with nothing earthquakes there frequently and the magnitudes were always between $34.00 and $3.00 after $4.00 is made more of those west than cities which are of course squares i have been witnessing those earthquakes but this was have it before the big one and now there is that damage and we know that and surrounding cities nearby city is also felt the earthquake and there are reports of some small damages like facts on the buildings in the nearby cities as well and some people even if they are who are able to feel the a friend of the earthquake what was quite as you mentioned there this is an area which is used to seismic activity seen the fact that so many buildings have been reduced to rubble and we're showing our viewers pictures know of the polluted of

smoke coming up from the city of his mere suggesting several buildings have come in and that's it gives a sense of just how strong this particular earthquake has been there as you said there is sin and we still have no information on how many casualties how many people have been trapped under the rubble of these buildings but set the scene for us describe if you will what kind of city is near is how large is it is this in an area that sees for example lots of visitors to because it is a cool source city on the aegean sea. yes exactly so far according to the is move governor the city governor there are no reports of that but as you said we don't know how many people are trapped under those 4 bulls and the initial reports suggest that according to answer your ministry they have

reports of 6 fielding's that have collapsed but according to is members of c. fell that is the mayor announced that they have reports of 20 buildings collapsed in israel it's one of the largest cities up and for both domestic and foreign tourists it's a very attractive area it's a historical city by the engine coast across greece and also it is it is the point of that's it's a destination for the migrants who are trying to in the eagerly cross from turkey to your of through the agency most of the times they use some specific mistakes like i look and other places of is made. into higher voltage those unsafe ports to cross agency to get to greece and then to europe this is the illegal migration route but when you come to the urbanization of the city the city

center the downtown is highly. highly cons and there are very high buildings it's mostly concrete so it's a crowded city and because the city it does not only serve as serve with tourism but also with invest free and other services sectors in the suburbs and what or when you go outside just to think for the density of the buildings are lower and the height of the buildings are lower but the city center that we're most to see on the pictures right now are highly populated and too many because there are too many buildings over there which increases the risk of human loss. as these buildings a collapse and as i said so far we have north. it's of casualties but. i think that people flocking to the area. they are looking for their relatives or loved ones under this rubble zellers absolutely and the pictures that we're showing our viewers right now we do see crowds of people forking out onto the street this

usually happens when there is an earthquake because it's safer to get out of. of a building we are showing our viewers also pictures of people who are clambering over the collapsed buildings and trying to move rubble with their bare hands you mentioned earlier sentiment there have been certainly contrasts saying data being given by different seismic organizations but certainly the u.s. geological survey saying this is a 7.0 magnitude quake just to put this into context back in 1999 there was a 7.4 magnitude quake in that area an earthquake that was so strong it killed some 17000 people a face and of whom were in istanbul so these sorts of earthquakes they will carry some kind of tall were there any tremors felt in istanbul where you're reporting

from. well hello istanbul is also another risk a city inside in turkey is that is facing a risk of a very strong earthquake that's why the whole going to the civil institutions are calling for urban transformed nation especially to back up support the structure of those old buildings that have been damaged or that are that are potentially going to be damaged or demolished and build new ones and is in istanbul we are hearing that some people were able to feel the strength of this earthquake but if the pens on the where you are because a stumble is a very large city and also it depends on the ground the ground that you are staying on because some parts of istanbul are more sensitive. when it comes to feeling the

earth place coming from the agency and so far we know that it has been felt in the nearby cities around is near and in those cities the officers have reported that there are some small damages in the buildings like some cracks but in istanbul as i said so far is those are just some reports that fearful felt the strength of the earthquake but istanbul that that has suffered and a huge earthquake since 2999 if people are kind of ready for such an earthquake a big earthquake people are always in panic i remember people to use to live live with some backpacks sound support bags in their corridors or inside their cars in case an earthquake that happened and they will they would in if they would need to run immediately from their houses so today it is going to be the same scenario

for is made because with this. very strong magnitude earthquake people will not be able to get in their house. because the fire is off the damage of the scale of the vantage even in the buildings that are standing right now hasn't been identified hasn't been report of yet so this is that question because yes there are buildings called us for some the $64.00 some sources it is $28.00 but all those buildings that seem to be standing up there they still have the potential to fall down if their structures are not very strong or suitable for such a strong earthquake so now we are waiting for some extra reports that will come out from turkey is the sasser and management agency and they have warned people not to fly out into the area because it is they are creating a traffic channel which is also stopping the emergency and search and rescue teams from bringing help and support to the damaged areas absolutely as sin and cos fuel

will leave you to to news gather find out more information about this but very much indeed for bringing us the latest on that earthquake the magnitude 7 earthquake which has struck off the course of the aegean sea it's clearly cause some significant damage in the city of is mere no word yet on casualties certainly we understand anywhere between $6.20 buildings have been brought down by that very strong earthquake we're also hearing that's a mini tsunami is being reported of an island of greece so a significant earthquake which has happened. in the g. and c. we'll bring you more on that story as it comes in for novo let's move to france where vigils are being held in honor of 3 people killed on thursday in an attack on

a church in nice the suspects is in custody investigators say he's from. and arrived in europe last month on these highland island of lampedusa a 2nd person has now been detains we'll have more on that in just a moment but 1st this reports from david chaytor in this. a place of worship now a crime scene inside not to don basilica the congregation had been praying when a man armed with a knife attacked them 3 people were killed one of the victims a woman was to capitated according to the police another victim was a churchwarden she be mostly but i still imagine him i still see him lighting the candles and now i'm thinking he's not there anymore. it's been a fluke that we are always with him he's always there he spends the day that he

shares his life here he's not someone who comes and goes witnesses say the attacker shouted. during his attack he was shot by police near the church and is now being treated in hospital for his injuries. but the priests we are hurt to once again see that our city is taken like this i want to tell the families of the victims of this barbaric attack that everyone in the community is by your side. i want to say that we can no longer with the laws of peace in our country wipe out islamofascism within hours of the attack the french president emanuel macro visited to see. miss you ladies and gentlemen once again our country has been hit by an islamist terror attack once again this morning 3 of our compact it's nice in this not to die . and very clearly france is under. the sun is a day if we are attacked it is for our values for our taste for freedom for this

possibility on our soil to believe freely and not to give in to any mind of terror to coopt i say it with great clarity once again we will not give in france has now raised its state of emergency to its highest level. we revolted with what's going on is an attempt to take french hostage with regards to its muslims will not fall into this trap we will not fall into this trap. as part of operation sentinel the number of troops patrolling france will more than double on the present 3000 to more than 7000 president mccall said that this will ensure that all place of worship will be safe the attack comes 2 weeks after the murder of school teacher samuel petit in a paris suburb he had been decapitated after showing caricature of the prophet mohammed to school children to illustrate a lesson on freedom of speech and secularism prime minister. says the

government's response to the murders in these will be far implacable and immediate . well david chase joins us now live from nice david wonderstone the 2nd person who has been detained what more can you tell us about this sans the ongoing investigation. yes there's been a 47 year old man who has been arrested and he's been charged with helping the night man by providing a mobile phone that's all the detail we have on that but the chief anti-terrorist prosecutor has also given us some more details about the actual knife man the attacker who went into the basilica behind me and murdered 3 people now he's a 21 year old tunisian not known to the tunisian intelligence services but he's a refugee who managed to reach the italian island of lampedusa then he moved on to

the port of bari in the south of italy where he was staying on board an asylum ship now he applied for asylum while he was in italy but it was refused to shortly afterwards he got over the side of the ship and disappeared and of course we knew that he was now heading for here arrived at the station here the video surveillance saw him changing his clothes and then within half an hour he had arrived at the basilica behind me and launched 'd his attack so those are the latest developments here that's all we have at the moment and no further developments on if there was anybody else supporting him apart this man who gave them a mobile phone. we've been talking an awful lot about it's the attackers and motivation but in the center of this

tragedy of course there are the victims what more can you tell us about the victims of this attack. yes you can see behind me many people gathered outside the basilica they've come to pay tribute to those who were killed now one of them was the church was in his fifty's he had 2 children he'd been here for something like 7 years and the police found his body in the church his throat had been slashed another woman they found inside the church was almost beheaded almost completely decapitated with a vicious blow from the knife that the attacker was wielding we don't know her name but we believe she's in her late sixty's or seventy's we know nothing more about that we don't even know if any of her relatives have been informed of what's happened so police have not been able to identify so far and then there was another

44 year old brazilian woman who has been in france for something like 30 years she has 3 children she was in the. elderly care business so she was giving much aid and help to the elderly here during the covert crisis and those are the names those are the people who've who've been identified as the main victims and of course the whole town the whole city of nice is feeding blighted once again by the fact that the terrorism has struck in the middle of the streets ok david chase there bringing the latest from the thank you very much indeed. meanwhile anger is growing in muslim nations against friends presidents emanuel make wrong with new proof taking place in bangladesh side isn't so people have turns out it's in the capital dhaka that's after mccrone values to cranks and what he calls

radical islam and defends its the rights to mock religion thousands of protesters also turned out in pakistan to condemn the french president's testers have been holding rallies in the capital islamabad it's a reports night from that. crowd by get gone there had been drawn. several gates there in islamabad a large crowd gathered just a shouting distance from the french and british they were just situated let's going to kill ahmed you know where there demand of the protesters that the french ambassador to pakistan should be a great otherwise they will march on the embrace to large their protests they're not going to anger just about people not just to dismiss them as not i think we demand that this issue be tackled like the kashmir cause and pakistan must take this to the international court of justice it is so that a goal a muslim can suck a price his life what will not let anyone insult the prophet. there we have

seen the crowd burning effigies of the french president emmanuel macro and also when think they're. on board the french creditor. the people and. action from their government when they're going through this particular. issue. now health ministers from across the european union have been meeting to discuss a surge in corona virus cases they're struggling to deal with how it's a limits the spreads as expected to worsen during the winter now the rapid rise in infections is putting a strain on hospitals across the continent e.u. leaders. who were not powerless in the face of it after all there are hygiene measures and we can wear masks but we need to coordinate measures with the member states not came across very clearly but it's important that people take charge of

their own responsibilities on a daily basis so i'm grateful for the show of solidarity amongst the health ministers and colleagues within the european union. now either leaders have agreed to fund the transfer of patients across borders to ease the burden or than $260000000.00 being made available walked urns are also being reimposed in france and germany but that angered many like these people in paris they came out to protest against being confined in their homes for a month i will let's get more now from our series the tasha butler who joins us from paris at the taj we understand that european health ministers of the missing since discuss this worsening situation across the continent what have we learned. yes eve health minister promised to coordinate better when it comes to their

response to a pandemic if you remember in the 1st wave which hit and battered so many countries so badly was widely criticized for not better coordinating its response for not for there not being more discussion between even member states on what they should do in terms of borders in terms of hospitalization and that sort of thing so health ministers say let's better coordinate their response they also talked about vaccines and how they would coordinate if we were to get to the stage where a vaccine could be tried in a widespread way across europe it is clear that there is a growing sense of urgency here in the east we heard for example from the head of the e.u. commission vanderlei and who said on thursday evening that unless the e.u. was to act extremely fast now to try and stop this 2nd wave that many countries would be simply overwhelmed by this pandemic and that really seems to be the

picture that we're seeing from several countries russia recording a record number of cases doctors and medical workers there saying that they are running out of a key supplies like oxygen we're also hearing from countries like in germany where they are going into a 2nd so-called mini lockdown starting on monday the german chancellor various saying that the situation in the country is very critical as they've seen new infections rise and that is why she has decided to impose a tougher restrictions poland the prime minister asking some state run companies to build a temporary field hospitals to try and ease pressure on the country's hospitals so that's pretty much the situation across europe governments trying to balance the economy trying to balance concerns over help trying to decide whether or not they impose these full lockdowns nationwide ones over. regional ones but whatever the case we're just seeing these new infections saw in countries across the bloc well

several european countries set to rule out lockdowns but you're speaking to us from france which is now back in locked that higher is that going so far and is there any indication we'll know if it works to solve. why do i think we're going to know whether this 2nd lockdown of the year in france will work for a few weeks yet but the french president tomorrow michael said it is absolutely necessary because he is saying that this 2nd wave that france is so deeply in could be more deadly than the 1st we have seen cases more than 50000 a day on some days experts saying here that it's probably near a 100000 a day because so many people are not getting tested or are a symptom attic and those cases just going up and are all the time you can see it visibly in the streets as well the queues outside the barges each day getting longer and longer now what the government hopes of course is this knock down this 4

week lockdown is going to try and slow the spread of the coronavirus. it's a strict a lot down sorry i should say it's a slightly less strict lockdown than the one in march and april in the schools will be able to remain open children though from the age of 6 will have to wear masks so businesses can remain open as well factories public services and that kind of thing nevertheless in terms of people's personal freedoms they will not be able to leave their homes for more than a kilometer perimeter just for a sensual goods doctors' appointments and that kind of thing so many people in france are feeling well you might say almost a bit depressed about the idea of having to stay for weeks indoors again most people know that that could well be extended if the situation doesn't improve but again people know that the health system could be overwhelmed hospitals i.c.u. beds are filling they understand why this lockdown has been done but that doesn't make it any easier in reality and certainly does not bring us all the latest there

from paris for no thank you. let's return to our top story that strong earthquake in the aegean sea which has shaken both turkey and greece the search is on for survivors after the magnitude 7 quake caused at least one building to collapse we can speak now with senior course you she joins us from istanbul we understand that the turkish president's tired parents iran has tweeted on this subject what has he had to say. well he's saying that turkey's disaster and management agency and the relevant organizations and the ministries are working hard it's for the rescue and search operations in the area and i'm just looking at the turkish news agency on

a little news agency the 7 state once it is reporting that 3 people trapped under today every. risk youth in biograph district of is made apparent the under those buildings that have collapsed that have been reported to have collapsed there are civilians who have been trapped and 3 of them have been rescued so far and we don't know how many buildings exactly have collapsed but some official reports suggest some in the interior ministry suggest there at least is 6 buildings that have been reported to have collapsed and according to the minister valid t.v. figures they have reports of 20 buildings that have collapsed in. iraq that the strikes also borno are this is one of the this rickson it is meant that that is sacked you have have a damage but the governor's the local administration there announced that there

isn't a high damage because it's an agriculture district it's a low land that's why it was lucky and this is the information that we have so far we know that. according to that it is $7.00 magnitude according to turkey's disaster management agency it's $6.00 and turkey is systemic survey agency it is $6.00. we don't know which one is the accurate one but for sure it's a ball 6.6 and it was 14.5 kilometers deep under to crown that's why it was felt so strongly not only in is. marriage in the nearby cities like then is he and other places and in some parts of istanbul details of course so coming in sin. thank you for now though the just a quick update the. very strong earthquake happening off the coast of the aegean

sea we understand several buildings have collapsed but we will keep across this of course the scene as there are any more updates we will bring them to you here on out zira. to other news no explosions have been seen on the outskirts of sapan occurred starts the capital of the disputed region over in the corner. well armenian officials say their military is blowing up near to fighters suggesting that backers forces are cool to the city fighting in the region has intensified in recent days step for months from the 2 countries have been preparing for more talks to try and end the conflict after 3 failed ceasefire attempts were not far away as opposed to be closing in on the key town of. going to court about separatists these are

says sorry troops have advanced to within 5 kilometers there are people there to help resist the attack. played a lot as long played a pivotal role in the in the nagorno kind of conflicts that overlooks the regional capitals to panic kurtz and is from there that's azerbaijan shelled the safety back in the 1st nagorno karabakh war it also sits on the main highway which connects armenia step panic curt's well we've got correspondents own both sides of the story in armenia and azerbaijan in just a moment we'll have the latest from baku with a high needs 1st though let's speak to rory chalons who is live for us in yerevan rory what a speed happening from the armenian point of view what's the latest you have for us . well certainly these are difficult difficult days

meaning nobody here would have thoughts just a month ago that within a few weeks as a by johnny forces would have been knocking on the door. shushi itself shushi the town that by jonny school shusha it's it's a big blow i think for the armenians that what are they saying at the moment though is that the this 1st attack by the azerbaijani forces has been pushed back. they are saying as well that this is going to be a very difficult place for the azerbaijani forces to take it's essentially kind of mountain citadel it's it's it's on a rocky outcrop and getting up those steep sides to the city itself is going to be very very difficult the armenians are saying that yes things have been bad before in the 19 ninety's was that things were looking very grim there for their forces

but they managed to turn it around and adventure the prevail as they are hoping that in. president of us about john's promise to his people the. he will take back the entire city of new going to karabakh and the surrounding areas for azerbaijan that he's essentially over promised and this is leading him to rush a military assault leaving as a by johnny troops overstretched and overexposed and therefore vulnerable to counter attacks but they know there might medians that they have lost significant territory in recent days and weeks ok murray challenge their brain is all the latest from yerevan thank you let's turn to the other side of the story and bring in hooda of the head needs she joins us now from back to say you were speaking with officials in azerbaijan earlier and what were they saying. well there hasn't been any official announcement coming out of here about show

whether the syrian army is actually heading towards that area i was speaking to with a top commander of the army earlier today and he wouldn't confirm any of the news coming out of armenia he didn't deny it either but then he said at the end of the day it's no secret we have said that we want to take back all our occupied territories so that means the 7 disappears surrounding that corner and eventually nagorno karabakh itself and if you look at what's happening the reality on the ground a few days ago as ever gen announced that it wasn't cool but is now is basically south of the light chain corridor which is key for me. because that's with resupplies nagorno-karabakh but it's also east or west rather of sushi so it would be very easy from there you head into that direction that commander told me you know sooner or later we will head towards those 2 places it might be heard

happening but he didn't confirm that at this stage but it is in the bigger plan as were he said you know the as ever john army has been making advances at a formidable face over the past few weeks is now trying to i think this is really it has to calculate very well what it's going to do next because basically once they get the election corridor and shusha. armenia will be in a very tough position anything north of that it's. also considers occupied territories is a very a mountainous area it's not very there's not many people there. would be very difficult according to as they were john to put up a fight there so basically that's what they're trying to do now to just get that area and then they have positions in the north overlooking. nagorno-karabakh that they said it's already in their control so the azerbaijan and azerbaijan say

they're very upbeat that this could end up very soon but we heard also what rory said of the armenian position and sometimes things can be much slower than people hoped for ok thank you very much indeed for that update that's what our other hamid's joining us there live from. the security forces in guinea have raided the homes of opposition supporters overnight so who don't enjoy a lot to claim victory after the election 3 weeks ago but the electoral commission has declared 82 year old president out for condé the winner for his 3rd term that sparked fighting protests and a number of civilian and police killing us. with just 4 days to go until the u.s.

election a record breaking 80000000 americans have already cast in person or mail in vote setting the stage for one of the highest voter turnouts in the united states history donald trump and joe biden have been trying to win over voters in the swing states of florida where they are neck and neck she have to tansey reap. well another key election battleground is all social media joe biden's team says facebook has blocked thousands of its campaign ads that cost them half a $1000000.00 the adverts have been blocked since cheez day that's the day after facebook instituted a self-imposed ban on new political ads the company says the move is to prevent sensual misinformation in the final days before the election facebook also admitted

the sun ads were mistakenly blocked you see a technical glitch was caught lucas is a professor of american studies at the university of birmingham he explains know why facebook has a blanket approach to filtering false contents. the 1st problem before we get to what has happened with the biden as its weakest is that facebook really doesn't have the staff hasn't really devoted that much to resources to make sure that free speech is responsible speech so in other words in 2016 we now know the story quite well that many actors put out misinformation and disinformation including certain state actors such as russia to try to influence the u.s. election but it didn't stop in 2016 groups have put out hate speech on facebook groups have put out ads which for example have denied coronavirus on facebook and even though facebook says it has a policy against misinformation and disinformation it doesn't really have the staff

to do the type of necessary checking to make sure that the false information doesn't get through and then spread like wildfire so what if then does in the past few days it's us or at risk going to apply the sledgehammer and we're going to block all these ads without any type of discrimination between those ads that actually are putting forth legitimate information and those that are actually deceptive and so you wind up in this mess which just spirals and spirals but at the end of the day i want to be blunt with you facebook's main responsibility is not to put out balanced news it's not to put out even reliable news it's actually to show a profit in that but in doing that through ads means you don't try to actually block ads except in this very unusual circumstance in the last few days. let's check in with the situation in turkey reminds or a strong earthquake in the gene sea has shaken both turkey and greece we understand the search is on for survivors after a magnitude 7 quake caused several buildings in the turkish city of is near to collapse we're still searching around for figures officials of course in the area

trying to get a sense of the situation let's cross night see our correspondents in istanbul sin and cos yolo is keeping across that story in turkey cinema we understand that the turkish president has tweeted seeds we understand as well the authorities are still trying to gauge what the situation is currently like on the ground give us a sense of what you're hearing from your vantage point in istanbul. well the magnitude of the quake was very strong and a tad strong impacts on several districts of is merrick ording to what we hear and we know that 3 of the 6 have been strongly a hit by this earthquake and we hear that in which there are buildings that have collapsed as we have been saying. in the previous bulletin as well as

some sources like interior ministry says at least 16 in a spell it is misses they have reports of at least went to build buildings that have collapsed so far and the semi state news agency just reported that 3 people who were trapped under the tree were risk youth in by rock of the sticks of is so apparent that the search and rescue teams are. in the field they are working against the governors of the turkey turkey's disaster management agency announced that they have called for extra search and rescue personnel and vehicles from nearby cities that could assist more in this operation since the magnitude was very high and we see a strong impact of this earthquake and even when the ones that haven't been collapsed in the in the pictures that we have seen so far there are small coming

out of these buildings it means they are they have been heavily is shaken by this earthquake of course that thinking that is mare is the is one of the largest cities of turkey with a relatively high population and a very dense for plated city a district that can sequence it of this earthquake might be high because if it is just more than one hour after do earthquakes and we don't have any specificity reports of the scale of the damage how many buildings have been damaged how many have really collapsed sent there how many. are about to about to be called us but for sure this is going to be a very tough day and a very tough thing for the citizens of is probably they will not be able to get in their apartments or houses especially thinking that the buildings are very high in the downtown area and we are hearing that there are some damage there are some

strong damage reports but in the nearby cities that how i also felt the earthquake there are reports suggesting that the damage is not high there are some cracks on the buildings but it was a very strong earthquake as i said some people in istanbul also have felt that. the city is made by the course of agency it is also felt in greek as well it's still the rescue search teams are working they are we are hearing we are hearing that there might be more people trapped on their derogative those buildings that have collapsed so we will need to wait and a hear from those officers and rescue teams about how many people are trapped how many people can be rescued but as i said before for turkey it's going to be a difficult day today because turkey has suffered many earthquakes including the one back in 1999 that happened in is near and nearby in istanbul and nearby

cities but for izmir it was a surprising one because this fight the city was shaken several times this year with earthquakes with a magnitude between $3.00 to $4.00 this was very strong and very unexpected but it's certainly was simcoe celebrity is the view from turkey will soon showing our viewers what we have been showing our viewers the scene from turkey also from greece a very large earthquake in scene and we will leave you to do. check back in with you later of course thang. very much indeed for bringing us all that the latest on the earthquake we do you have more breaking news for you now kenyan courts to sentence 2 men to 18 years in prison for their role in a shopping center attack 7 years ago no they were convicted earlier this month for

turkish city of is smear this comes after what the u.s. g.s. is reporting as a magnitude 7 earthquake that magnitude 7 according to the u.s.g.s. strong enough to bring several buildings dying in the city of is smear simcoe c.e.o. lou is staying across this story for us she is live in istanbul cinema what are you hearing about the search and rescue operations because this earthquake struck just to be about an hour or so 2 hours ago now it is quite chaotic the scene in the city but rescuers have their rived on the scene. well as far as we know that some of the rescue teams are already in the scene and

we have reports that suggests 373 people who have been trapped on their direct boles invited up the district of is there have been rescued by the search and rescue teams so far as we have been saying we don't have any specific number for the buildings that have been collapsed there is some say at least 6 some say at least 20 but. we will have a proper figure as the search and rescue operations continue for longer hours because we don't know how many buildings are stronger damaged and besides the ones that have been collapsed we don't know whether there are any buildings that are about to collapse either but the apparently there are civilians under the rubbles that's why people are flocking to the area and that's why the disaster management agency have been making calls for people not to flock to the area as they are actually stopping this search and rescue teams works and. says reach into the area

as they are creating a traffic jam is mr to center is a crowded one also there are high buildings there are tall buildings and in the city center is a densely populated areas as mayor is one of the largest cities of turkey and one of the major touristic destinations but we are also hearing that since it's a call still city and harbor city we are also hearing reports that suggest some areas have already flooded because of the rising sea water isn't as some suggest that there is the risk of tsunami in the area but these are what we're we have been reading and hearing so far as we are not in the in the scene apparently but. this is a very strong earthquake that has hit is there is meant one of the. western coastal cities of turkey how witnessed several earthquakes within the last one year and

maybe more than. last one year. but the magnitudes were much smaller compared to this one from 3.3 to 4.5 is cities like which is close by where the they have all been shaken in the last one and a half year special of the earthquake because of the earthquake in the agency but what we know were cording to the official reports is that the earthquake came from 14.5 kilometers down underground which means it was a very strong one that's why many cities nearby is may were able to feel the earthquake there are some damages in those cities as well but apparently according to the local admin to local officials and the damages are on the cracks or over the walls of the buildings in those cities but some people in istanbul were also able to feel the strength of to earthquake in istanbul as it is also

an epicenter of earthquakes in turkey yes turkey is an earthquake country it's to turkey actually lays only. those on the earthquake zone that's why many cities including istanbul the most crowded city of tokyo are under threat and this year at the beginning of 2020. we witnessed an earthquake that hit its 3rd city and us and many aftershocks after that and a people were killed under the rubble. were killed under the rubble zen some other eastern cities have been repeatedly witnessing earthquakes within the last 10 years and i have to say that this is also terrifying not only for the citizens of western course the city of turkey but for also istanbul because many experts have been. warning that stumble is also about in case an earthquake which is might

stronger than the one that hit. the. stumble like in 1999 but for is me i must say that this is going to be a difficult evening because as i said we have we don't have any specific or very accurate reports of the scale of the damage here especially in the buildings thinking that it's a populated city and very tall buildings this will take time to see and then an accurate report but it will be a difficult night for them it will indeed said and while while you've been speaking i just going to give you a sense the pictures that we've been showing viewers watching on al-jazeera we have been showing footage of what looks to be a rescue it's the turkish rescue teams trying to remove an individual for a building it's a good time to remind viewers as well that this earthquake struck around summer

runs 1150 g.m.t. 12 or one g.m.c. is another time we were given by the various agencies that monitor this this means that it's certainly happening at the middle of the day. this is a. certainly an earthquake that struck at the middle of the day were also when people would have been inside those buildings just to remind our viewers as well that we are still waiting on numbers coming in but turkish media are reporting and this is coming from the t r t. news organization in turkey have said 4 people have been killed in this earthquake that's according to see art see there claiming that 4 people have been killed and 120 have been injured snow just going by the pictures that we're showing our viewers on the scene the the the scale of this

damage. it is very significant and that ties them but the fact of course that this is a very very strong earthquake 7 magnitude $7.00 earthquake and tsunami as you were mentioning earlier this is a part of the world that is used to earthquakes this is not the 1st earthquake to strike the country it certainly won't be the last taught us about the building regulations because in earthquake prone cities. buildings need to be built strongly is this the case in turkey and given how surprising is it to see how many of these buildings have collapsed. well hala i can't say that for is there but for a stumble it has been a very big debate because as you have also mentioned witnessing a very strong earthquake and giving away thousands of lives in that earthquake in

1999 there was a mobilization in tricky for urban transform ation to demolish the damaged buildings or the witch buildings and build new ones that are durable for the earthquakes and people have been making those calls recently and even istanbul governor's office have. actually gathered with them in a spell at the end they have issued some letters to those buildings that seem to be a record that has been built before the 999 earthquake so that they can at least enhance their building structure with the columns and everything or either demolish those buildings so apparently in is there the. construction the construction. is not that strong either yes it was a very strong earthquake and it is seeing so many buildings that have been different that have collapsed and people trapped under those buildings apparently

turkey as overall needs a mobilization for urban transform ation for those buildings because we have been witnessing earth earthquakes and turkey. for more than one year recently and many areas have been shaken what the earthquake is yes because there has been may have been many earthquakes and aftershocks in even inside the agency but this is a strong while so apparently it means that it means that everyone everywhere is under risk i just would like to. update you with information if 4 people have been rescued from under the rubble zx and. 4 people have been killed and 120 people have been injured as you haue said that these figures are coming from turkey's disaster and management agency ok thank you very much indeed. leave you on these latest pictures from turkey a quick reminder that at least 4 people have been killed in that earthquake and
