seismic fault lines and is frequently shaken by earthquakes. about 800000 people were killed in quakes that hit the north west in 1999. with a history of such natural disasters. many are asking why the country hasn't been propelled turkey and syria while the hardest hit. but the quake was also felt for wild eastern mediterranean, including lebanon fibrous palestine, israel and the faraway of egypt had one or $20.00 before the quaker joiner bus. him consider correspondent, whose monitoring development forth from some bullet, a huge spike in those numbers. sit in. i'm not news comes as we're also getting reports of the 2nd quake. double. why be here? yes, exactly. so hale, there is a 2nd earthquake, which is separate and different than what took place in the morning,

we are hearing more that's told and more people injured. of course, the biggest challenge right now for both rescue workers and the civilians who are suffering this earthquake and the region including 10 cities of it's been to get is the weather condition at the heavy a winter conditions. the snow and rain as people are outside, frustrated, a feared to get inside their homes because in every after schalk or a possibility of had a different earthquake is, is a risk for the buildings and is a risk if we're all of the civilians out there. so as per the turkish presidency announced each city all those 10 cities received one, at least one turkish minister, members of the cabinet, to coordinate and be in charge of the humanitarian situation and the turkish parliament. post on to suspend that as a meetings for one week. ok to see what is going to be in the coming days and,
5:07 pm
and what is next for the region and turkish presidents that, that a $4.00 to $5.00 countries, including or many natal members have reached out to care, offered their help. so turkish authorities are trying to coordinate with those friendly countries to receive those rescue workers troops or any medical or mandatory and aid supplies, but to kia is going through. so probably one of its a worse times because of the weather conditions because of the economic situation. and because this earthquake, it targeted and hit a very white scale of a geography into a kiss or eastern part. so his son consider the whole, corresponded to the stumble. thank you. well, he took his present address, the nation. he told people the government is doing all it can to provide help to chill all the good. good news there, billy did it in the turkish armed forces. an emergency and disaster authority have

5:12 pm
so these kinds of activities, these kind of aids from people are quite essential for the people. these are the major, southeastern cities of turkey, video done. now guys aren't there and shall know if it has more than 2000000 off population the out about good my lot. yeah. and also the, i'm on roughly over 1000000 people are in need of these are in need of this, this is how so that's why this kind of activities are quite important. and also the won't spend it to you stumble has set up another aid as aid gathered his salad as well in istanbul. but these 8 gatherings centers are being set up in many cities across cherokee and is very much critical time wrestle. so they're in a stumble. thank you. are there a producer of an uncut taping? sheltering with somebody in ghazi and tap and gave us this update since the earth weekend. so now that you see like hundreds and thousands of cars just in and out the streets,
5:13 pm
people don't know where they are going. actually. like we just moved to buy some bread for the kids. and we spend over than one hour just standing in the line to get 5 pieces of bread that's mean like people spanish. like what do they want to do where they want to go? they don't know. now the street that i'm standing in there is a dozen of call is just waiting in the line in front of a gas station. they want to fill up their cause and they really don't know where they want to go. but what, what they should do, nobody knows we are faced right now in one of the most me and family, my mother and my father, and my kids on the after shocks is make us, at least like we just like crazy. like we feel it's we try to run and it's, and we feel like we try to run and it's and, but the 2nd law just earthquake. i one call it's after trucks because it's coming like 7.8. it's similar to the 1st one. it's make us all crazy,
5:14 pm
like we start fronting like crazy and you can see hundreds of people inside the mosse. they just want to survive by their life. so far we couldn't see any much of a house coming toward our areas as we don't have much destroyed, then damage is building. but we've seen many heading around us, especially the electricity and the gas company, which they are just running to turn off some of the fires with 3 stop after the 2nd earthly. i'm from our side, like you can see many people that just need more food, more blankets, more people start on line and standing outside the street. they don't feel safe, even inside a mosque or whatever. it's like a government building. they don't feel safe. they just standing outside in the cell and it's now under that that it's too cold, like i'm talking to you and i'm shaking it really too cold outside the hotel has
5:15 pm
more of the situation in syria. well, this was already a vulnerable region before the latest disaster struck. millions of people are displaced, many of them live intense. a lot of them are homeless. as you mentioned, there is called freezing temperatures. rescue teams are struggling or struggling to find survivors underneath the rubble. buildings have collapsed across cities and towns and a number of, of provinces in the north of syria, not just in rebel controlled areas, but in government controlled areas as well. at the death toll isn't as close to $800.00 and many fear it will only rise in the coming hours and days ahead. because rescue teams are saying without the proper machinery without the proper international help, it's not going to be easy for us to sift through that the rubble. and even though many of these volunteers have been trained after years of war, airstrikes, artillery shelling, we've seen images of collapse buildings in the past. but nothing like this and
5:16 pm
nothing on this scale. and this area as well, lax hospitals, health care facilities because during the war they were targeted by the syrian government and their allies. so there are appeals for medicine, for doctors, for food emergency assistance. and there's also appeals to open roots so that aid can actually read, reach the people in need. and throughout the year, as the syrian government has used aid as a weapon of war. right now, it's going to be very difficult to bring in aid from turkey or because of the disaster there. because the roots leading to syria, you know, is, as are also a disaster zone. so they're going to have to rely on route from government controlled areas. so a very desperate situation on the ground to and people are really fearing the worst is yet to come in the door as a volunteer white helmets in serious italy, province. he says hospitals are struggling to cope with large numbers of wounded people. the medical sector already in west or northwest,
5:17 pm
it's project hosted by the one being by that of station by that many hospitals, many doctors were killed by the big and the best time that we were suffering from the pandemic covey and after and after now the medical sector cannot handle all of those ensure cannot receive all those injured. we need shelter for those who lost their houses. we need like maybe food gets for those who will be sleeping. now our doors, maybe we need even drinkable water for those who, for now the, the bright from the private, from their houses by the earth, with those people who are under durable, who are beneath hon. chris northwest in each city, each village they need a cubit and actually we need our a cube and our rule an hour. it's not enough to handle this. get this trophy. it's
5:18 pm
not enough. we calling we and we calling and we seeing that northwest you yeah. just it needs help from everyone. we need like a cube met and everything that we can support us to help our people and save our be well still had here on out there a problem pro democracy figures on trying and hong kong, 2 years after they were arrested under the government, controversial national security law and tens of thousands for the democratic republic of congo following an escalation in attacks by the n 23 group. the story after the break. ah, i think we'll see some more flooding in se, asia, in particular areas, again,
5:19 pm
maybe on time so that the bits of borneo will likely be fairly wet peninsula malays . ones can increase in the seems likely in java, and there's the orange tops just south of the philippines and just around west, papua, or beyond this area is very unstable. the big thunderstorm seemed quite likely that unusually got significant rain running up through q sion out into the ocean. so causing a bit of a problem with potential avalanche given that you've got so much snow in hong shoe and the as to rather warm it may snow to random parts of it is cold enough or a bit of snow, maybe in supported by the time we get to wednesday for the most part though, the whole of the stay she's looking warmer than it should do this time in the winter. and there's rain or snow slowly spreading out from southwest in china to a good part or hasn't re shanghaied by wednesday. but he will do not to santa ashes . raleigh opposite. so how's it were round gone away except maybe in bhutan and maybe the far north, high ground at least in the pole. there is radians for like get but otherwise it's
5:20 pm
5:21 pm
ah, what about kill watching? i'll just bear with me, said robin, a reminder of all the top stories, a secondary fake, as it took here, after earlier, quite killed, more than 1900 people across the region. the death toll into a kia load is above 1000. the shallow tremor was centered in south east of the country had lasted a minute, causing hundreds of buildings to collapse. rescue efforts wrong going. now the quake happened just after 4 in the morning local time. the death told in syria has risen to over 800 hospitals are struggling to treat the injured latrice up of the days of a global new story. and at least 5 palestinians have been killed by israeli forces during a rate near the city of jericho. and the occupied west bank, israeli false had stormed the up. but jabber camp on monday morning. several people,
5:22 pm
including a senior hammers official, were arrested nita abraham has more from jericho, an 8 day blockade on jericho here in the occupied west bank ended with the killing of 5 palestinians, at least in the room behind me here. and it took hours for palestinians to even know how many palestinians were killed in the gun fight that took place between the palestinian fighters and these really forces because these really forces took the bodies with them after they left the scene. now this has been the 2nd exchange of fire between palestinian fighters and israeli forces here in jericho. and it comes after israeli forces said that 2 of those who were killed among the 5 committed a shooting attack near an eagle is really supplement nearby. why the shooting left? no injuries here in jericho. it was a very deadly scene here. and it seems like israel doesn't want the scenarios that
5:23 pm
we've seen in nazareth and jean, where we've seen armed palestinian grooves fighting israel is or is not interested in seeing that scenario. extending and expanding here and jericho as well. a group of prominent pro democracy support as, as google drive in hong kong is the largest to be held under the controversial national security or imposed by china. the defendants include legislatures, activists, and community workers who are arrested 2 years ago and charged with conspiracy to commit subversion. the charges are linked to the roles and an unofficial primary election held in 2020 richard kimble has moved from hong kong. well, this is certainly a big deal for home calling. there's really not being a, probably a try like this for the last 2 years under so many coated 19 restrictions that here we have some of the most high profile democracy activists in hong kong standing trial across the cross section of society for young activists is a very well known internationally, like joshua wong, through to form a law makers and well known legal scott. as you can see behind me, this school is
5:24 pm
a police outside the building, marshalling the tendency from what is actually quite a large number of activists to come out despite previously facing bands on gathering. and because of cobit 19 rules, there is now people waving union jack blacks behind me. there's a long queue of people sneaking around the courthouse now the cobra, 1900 roles have been somewhat east in hong kong, is an opportunity people to come out and show their voice. again, in this sense, went to the patient about this trial because many of those arrested have been detained for the entire period since the arrest was made 2 years ago. and so have not been seen or heard from since during a time when most of his democracy activism in the city has effectively closed up completely after the major political reforms that have taken place in ukraine's presidents, as he expects, said, major russian offensive in the coming weeks in his unlikely address on sunday lottery, zalinski said moscow is increasing pressure on several fronts. by the battle for control of the eastern city of bach, moon has been intensified with russia deploying more troops. they in the throng,
5:25 pm
has more from the capital, keith ukrainian soldiers defending buck boot, enter the fray, knowing they are out numbered, and more russian fighters are on the way. but what is the major flash point on the eastern front right now? ukraine's president has promised he won't let the city fall without a fight. but believe me or zelinski may also be preparing his people for a worst case scenario. that is the sort of, she knew, the who in the course of $346.00 days of this war, i often had to say that destination at the front was stuff and that the situation was becoming tougher. it is once again that trying to keep their ukraine's army says it gun down as many as 200 russian mercenaries from the wagner group in a recent attack. but russian forces are gaining ground as they push to surround the
5:26 pm
city. the worry for keep, now russia could be close to successfully cutting off the main highway into the city. currently ukraine's main supply line that could be a decisive moment in the battle for buckman. russian missiles are also hitting more civilian targets along the eastern front air strikes and car keys hit a university and a residential block. recently there was a strong blast and everything happened so quickly. we were saved by the furniture that fell on us because of that we are alive. she's only lived in car keith, a few months homeless and displaced for a 2nd time. during this war. the siege of buck, mood has emptied out the city. but some refused to leave, seeking refuge in prayer management who from the 1st and most i know there is a chance i might die last night as hell for into my garden. all the vendors were
5:27 pm
blown out a booth, flint on my house this morning. it will have to keep me in the head, a related collision. they will die in any case. now or in 2030 years. it is not important. the main thing is how i present myself to god. like those jumped vanessa. i pray for our country, for all ukraine, for my children, for my family, for all ukrainians, for all i pray but will ukrainian lines remain as unbreakable as their faith both likely to be tested and coming days, as russian forces escalate their campaign for bomber 30. then basra, the algebra kids. this is the one that tens of thousands of flood their homes and eastern democratic republic of congo in recent days after renewed attacks by the n 23 armed group. welcome. when has more from the village of king
