syria has also been effected. at least 800 people are dead in areas where millions displaced by war are already living intense and freezing conditions. we, as everyone is watching us on to getting us, we need help. we did everything, everything in every, in each area we need bits of to ah, as night falls and turkey and syria search and rescue operations are continuing to look for survivors after one of the regions most devastating disaster is in decades . this is the scene and donna where teams are looking for any one trapped under the rubble in the freezing conditions. so a powerful, a magnitude, 7.8 quake shook the southeastern region of has our check early on monday morning, destroying thousands of homes just hours later,

a 2nd one struck the southern city of camara. us more than 2300 people have died. well, how much vall begins are coverage a multi story building collapses india, but as a 2nd quake of 7.5, magnitude, it's se kentucky. it came hours after the 1st struck in the early hours of monday, killing more than a 1000 people cause an extensive destruction offered to took ish disaster directory to mobilize the rescue teams from different provinces to the effect that the region dokie shares could. isn't that as well? i appreciate those policies gender matter immediately. and many other engineers also deploy the risk with team cents to the effective regions. almost the 10 provinces rescue workers dig through. piles of deputy says 4 survivors.

scenes of destruction put at the cross at least 10 cities in south east amount of to thousands of homes have been left and that death tom keeps lazy and harsh winter with it is making rescue efforts more difficult. addressing the nation president treasure played one, said the government is doing its best to deal with the situation. to seal all the good things there, billy did it in the turkish armed forces and emergency and disaster authority have been called to the affected areas. our priority is to rescue those and need that a mis 9000 people are working now in the rescue efforts all sort elissia in regards to international help and aid, we had contact with other countries. in addition to nato and the usa, there were 45 countries that have offered their home ah took, it sits on top of a major seismic fault line and is frequently shaken by earthquakes. about 80000

people were killed in quakes that hit north west in 1999 with a history of such natural disasters. many are asking why the country wasn't better prepared to kia and syria were the hardest hit. but the quick was also felt for was the eastern mediterranean, including lebanon, cypress palestine, israel, and as far away as egypt hammered one of the 0. let's get an update from selim. cause of our globe is monitoring developments from a stumble and the turkish vice president cinema has said that he does expect a rise in casualties. ah, what are the latest figures, sir, as you know them? well, yes. the, the figures of the casualties are expected to rise because there are some areas that the rescue workers haven't been able to reach so far because of, for instance, the highway between high n guys. dance at the new highway is totally cracked and people are not able to use

those highways. that's why we're here from the locals. that old pads or old roles are being preferred by the by many people who are trying to reach from one place to another. that's why the vice president has just called on people that if people do not have any public duty or if they have nothing relevant in the city, they are free to leave and go to other places other cities so that there is a less crowd. and there are more, it will be easier for the rescue workers to reach out to the people who are trapped on their, their rebels and forces from on top get hot side to case southern city, which is a border with a syria. we haven't heard much because there is no access. this is what we're hearing and we are hearing that many buildings are collapse and we don't have any figures about the vessel in your area. but we know that one,

the hospital in hats i and one hospital in the standard have class during the day after the aftershocks, the aftershocks are continuing by the waves in my last city, which is close to the center of kara, mom. there are after shops, there are earthquakes ongoing and i think people trying to reach out the disaster management agency is through enemies that they can. so this situation is getting dire as also the 1st 3 days 72 hours are very critical for the civilian for traps under the rubble. and now it is the evening time. everywhere is dark, it's is knowing and most of the places that are hit by the earthquake and this is making things. this makes things more difficult for the rescue workers right now. but ask for the vice president as statements. there are nearly 15000 personnel on the ground trying to reach out to those people in

a course. those 10 city is affected by the earthquake. but as the alarm level for declared by the turkish authorities and international assistance is also on the way hope so. high that those us, the assistance is going to help rescue workers, but the scene is totally tragic and catastrophe because the area affected we're talking about is a vast geography. those 10 cities mean more than 10000000, nearly 13000000 people. that's why movies are outside, right. now and some other millions in turkey are praying for those people who are trapped on the rebels. and hor, out there in the cold and trying to survive the earthquake. you know, i mean send him the needs on the scale of the aides really is quite immense. what is it? now the turkey has been activated to

a 4th level alerts. tell us exactly what this means and practically. what does this mean for what's happening on the ground? while level for me as international assistance rescue assistance is needed from other countries. and to is a natal member country and we have heard turkish officials saying that they told countries have, have conveyed that they would like to help with military and a medical supplies. and with rescue workers even greased her kids. what's the neighbor and natal ally that a to kia has been at all with over the eastern, mediterranean and islands? issue in the asian greece is also ready to help to care. we have 1st the, for the 1st help came from our very john took his brother country to help

them win the kind of war in 2021. and they sent 307 to rescue workers. the united states also emphasize that they are ready to help and coordinate everything that's true. here is dr. is ready to send rescue workers. georgia, i is sending rescue workers, but as a turkish presence stated during his speech at noon today, i carry is are needed because of the snow because of the weather conditions. some areas are not ex, accessible. that's why more carries are needed to bring help to reach out to those people. as i said, some areas in those cities effected by the earthquake also hot. sorry, i'm talk. yeah. are unreachable right now and when it starts with, when it's night, it gets even more difficult to access to reach out. the people without the proper carry is this is what turkey has experience and it with the earthquakes as it is prone to many. and we have witness that in other parts of the world that have been

through those kinds of that the earthquake. so emergency in the international assistance is one of the is the priority for now, despite those 50000 personnel on the ground, it is very difficult for to get to deal with this alone. because we're talking about millions of people, a vast geography, and nearly 13000000 people in the area who are in need of help. and a ports are shut down and got down tech in the hot side and call her mom or that makes it more difficult to reach out to those places. ok, we'll leave it there. thank you. sent him for that update from miss dumble. well, at the white house, the national security advisor jim sullivan said that the u. s. as profoundly concerned adding washington stands ready to provide assistance. he said, president biden has directed usaid and other federal government partners to assess response options to help those effected on the u. s will continue to monitor the

situation and coordination with the government of turkey. the e. u is also sending rescue teams european commission president ursula underlines has the blocks members stand in full solidarity with the people of turkey and syria, and will continue helping any way they can. al jazeera producer medical team is sheltering with his family and guardian tap. he gave us this update earlier on since the earth creek. and so now that you see like hundreds and thousands of cars just only in and out the streets, people don't know where they are going. actually 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 aftershocks 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 as 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, 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 aid tells, coming toward our areas as we don't have much destroy done 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

earth. 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 snow 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, across the border in syria. the devastation is also widespread. there are communities that had already been struggling to survive after years of war had been completely destroyed. zanna hood that reports a child is told to recite to prayer, i know the law trapped under the rubble of a collapse building. this is the human toll of a major earthquake that struck central turkey. it was felt hard in neighboring

syria. hundreds of people have already lost their lives. buildings collapse, the cross towns and cities, and on both sides of the front lines of the war in syria. in areas under the control of the government and those controlled by the opposition. hello. i'm desperate appeals for help from those already struggling to survive after more than a decade of war in rebel areas, there are no state structures to deal with. such a disaster calls are growing for emergency aid as residential areas are leveled to the ground abuse or you can come in, civilian buildings have completely been destroyed due to an earthquake that hit the northwest of syria around 4 30 in the morning. the situation is dire and catastrophic. tens of buildings have fallen in the city of sel. kin is completes

electrical blackout. it's really catastrophic. everyone is on the streets. the buildings are either destroyed or barely holding here. how many of the buildings that collapse were already not structurally sound? do 2 years of war, civil defense team say they need machinery to rescue people while the few hospitals that survive the government attacks in recent years are overwhelmed. that medical victor or the north northwest project exhausted by the bomb being by the nation by the regime many hospital, many doctors were killed by the palm, big and the best time that we were support from the pen, demik covey, and after and after now the medical stick to can not handle all of those insurance, they cannot receive. all those injured people are already facing a severe storm in freezing temperatures and aftershocks are making their lives worth. more shelter is needed. as many families are, again, made homeless in

a region where millions displaced by war live, intense powerful tremors were felt in lebanon as well. they start to just after 3 a. m, when most people were asleep and lasted for at least 42nd. i mean, there was chaos, as many people evacuated their homes. damage may have been minimal here, but more tremors are feared. back in syria, the extent of the humanitarian tragedy is only becoming apparent that their elders either failed and must have been. emily a has that you are resident and humanitarian coordinator in syria, and he says there's an urgent need for emergency supplies. it's a sub situation here in syria. we have already a difficult difficult situation before 11 years of ward. and now, nature is even making it harder on us in our poor for example,

we have already $4040.00 builders, have collapsed, and numerous buildings are suffered to be a structural damage and made to collapse my gloves. in a time. we are bare use in schools for sales to when people homeless people live only they have been homeless, maybe before many schools have collapsed though, so i'm no longer can not be used so, so the restriction is difficult and not only and and, and homes, but also the key and the, the cost of the home ition. we have a situation that is not easy for us up to in for us to structure the school. the rose water is also have been missed. we live very much on the tank water, the water tanks, and many, many, many of them either need to serious repair or needs to be replaced. fuel is not available, stuff is not available. hospitals,

some of them got damaged in and help and navy in other places we need a lot of help here. fella had announces, there are in other news, prominent pro democracy figures are on trial in hong kong. 2 years after they were arrested under the government's controversial national security law and firefighters battle to contain blazes and she late that have killed dozens of people i i think we'll see some more flooding in se, asia, in particular areas, again, maybe common time. so certain bits of borneo will likely be fairly went peninsula malays, once again, increasingly seems likely in java and there's the orange tops just south of the

philippines. and just around west, popular or beyond, this area is very unstable. the big thunderstorm seemed quite likely that unusually, we got significant rain running up through q should than 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 a random parts of it is called, nor forbidden, though maybe in supported by the time we get to wednesday, for the most part though, the whole of his stay she's looking warmer than it should do this time in the winter. and there's rain or snow slowly spreading out from southwestern china to a good part of it hasn't re shanghaied by wednesday, but he will do not to santa ashes. raleigh opposite so shouted were round gone away except maybe in brutal and maybe the fall north. oh, high ground, at least in the pole there is radians, relax get, but otherwise it's the king court. there are more snow showers in afghanistan, but i suspect that unless the wind increases as it will for new delhi air quality is still a problem. ah,

but on called the coast, europe's population is aging, should pension schemes be reformed. egypt and pakistan's economic crises a deeper they will, i m f, loans, fix their problems. and we explore the implications of tumbling value of india, a donnie empire. counting the cost on al jazeera ah re algebra with a

hello, i am the top stories on al jazeera search and rescue. efforts are underway across southern turkey were too powerful. earthquakes have killed more than 1500 people. the shallow tremor lasted a minutes, causing hundreds of buildings to collapse. and what's warren, northern syria has also been effected in the death toll. there is more than 8 hundreds. hospitals have been overwhelmed by the large numbers of injured is early forces have killed at least 5 palestinians during a raid and jericho in the occupied westbank. israel says 2 of the individuals killed were involved in an attack that happened late last month. me, deborah ham reports was he said i'm not counting. the deadline was impossible for palestinians near jericho in the occupied westbank in this room on the outskirts of awkward debit refugee camp. witnesses say palestinian fighters? it change fire with israeli forces to them. allah, blood is all that's left here. after these released took bodies with them done. so

it was a very difficult situation. is ready, forces shot at asada and at another ambulance and prevented us from helping the wounded to god. it was only hours later that time. these wood informed, at least 5, i'll athenians have been killed among them. 2 brothers. while families have opened morning houses, it's not clear when and if they'll get the chance to bury their sons. israel has a policy of withholding buddies of palestinians. it accuses of killing israelis. your for your memorial rich mozilla, is there even a day that passes by without a massacre. what you expect our sons to do? go through sweetser flowers at the israelis impossible for is ready for to say 2 of those killed carried out a gun attack near any league is ready supplement more than a week ago. although no one was injured than the shooting. it was who was behind it . the toward these release and you armed

a group called the october debate aggregate claimed responsibility as a result is really forces imposed and 9 dave located on jericho on saturday and his really rates failed to arrest and suspect, but led to a gunfight. where in this part of the west bank for years jerry cars remains relatively calm when it comes to act of resistance. but at the same time it witnesses the daily struggles of being under military occupation. like supplement expansion, house, munitions, and land confiscation. last year, more young palestinians doing quite in groups in jeanene and nab, listen the north of the west bank. now that's also happening in jericho. these and also just more than half of palestinians support the struggle against israel, the highest number into decades. many here said that's not surprising for society that field left behind bites leaders in the world while having to face off and

increasingly violent israeli military occupation with that. but him as ita the occupied with bank international assistance has started arriving in parts of chile that had been ravaged by wildfires. the fires have killed at least 24 people and destroyed hundreds of homes. strong winds and high temperatures are making it difficult for fire. cruise to control the blazes, the president has declared emergencies in the worst regions or latin america editor, alysia newman, surveying the damage from the fire in santa one. actually, it's really quite heartbreaking to see what has happened here in just such a short amount of time. it's very, very hot here, just to give you an idea of the temperature. this is what happened. the metal was burned to during the fire, but that's, that's just the tip of the iceberg. this what you see right behind me to my side were 2 homes where 2 different families were living. the public works department

has sent a bulldozer to try to clear some of the rubble. these people were lucky, they have jobs in other, other areas that don't are not even though this is the countryside, they have full time jobs. but a lot of the people who have lost their homes have now no, no way to make a living, no money to replace what happened and worse yet, there are still an un determined amount of people missing. just over to my left is you can get an idea of just how ferocious the fires were and this was all on fire until just yesterday. and just from the other side of this hill or mountain, there are dozens and dozens of homes for people who live on roads that have no ready access. so it's very hard for them to escape. and the authorities have not gone up there yet. nobody's been able to check to see if these people were able to make it out on time, or whether they did not survive,

as that has been the case that we've been hearing of many of the people here in santa juana. they've been heartbreaking stories, heart warming, stories of solidarity, 47 pro democracy activists have gone on trial in hong kong. they faced charges of trying to undermine the government after organizing an unofficial primary election in 2020 richard timber reports from hong kong. why? the a brief moment of protest outside a court in whom comb, members of one of the territories, few remaining pro democracy groups shouted slogans to condemn the trial about to take place in sign. please soon stepped in. they took one of the group away, the breaking coated 19 rules by removing his mask in public the trial is the largest national security case held in hong kong, the introduction of its controversial national security law. 3 years ago. the

$47.00 defendants include form lawmakers, student activists, and legal scholars. they're accused of conspiring to get a subversion by organizing an unofficial primary election to choose pro democracy candidates. the government. prosecutors say that vote was punch plans, the paralyzed government operations and overthrow, hong kong leader and normal democratic process. peaceful, peaceful way of using democratic power to try to get to, to go, try to get things done that is now been criminalized by this law. that it's kind of foreign to the, to the normal process in hong kong. the trial is attracting international scrutiny concealer representatives for more than 10 countries, but at the courthouse is expected to last at least 3 months. those found guilty could face a maximum of life in prison. the start of his trial coincides with a major government effort to restore hong kong international reputation. after 3 years of control,

this is about the city politic and strict cove at 19 rules. in reopening the border with the chinese mainland and bulging a multi $1000000.00 campaign to boost international tourism to the city. for some home commerce, the territory is reopening. he's making the national security case an afterthought . it's at the moment actually, i don't really have any feelings about this child. i've become numb to all the politics here for a long time. if hong kong finance is doing well, that will be best for the city and that will be less discontent. matthew, hong kong chief executive is trying to make that happen. john lives in saudi arabia, brokering deals to boost the territories economy and keep the world's attention on hong kong, financial future rather than his politics. richard kimber, al jazeera, hong kong or member of the francis national assembly have begun debating a controversial pension reform bill. president to minute micro wants to raise the

retirement age. from 62 to 64. hundreds of thousands of people have joined nationwide protests against the reforms on tuesday. transport workers and teachers will be going to strike for the 3rd time this year. and health care workers in the u. k. on the picket line for their biggest strike, yet i work. nurses and ambulance crews say patients are being put at risk by under staffing. unions are demanding better pay and conditions. the government has it can't afford the pay rises. they are asking for, as in bob reports from brighton and southern england's will across the country. we've got ambulance workers, our nurses out on strike together for the 1st time, both of those sectors pushing for a pay rise. it is in line with inflation. now they have dismissed the idea from the government that they are talking on pay in the unions of saying that there is room for compromise as shown in wales. and in scotland,

west i had been hold off of improved papers. the government's accused ambulance workers are putting patient lives at risk. why not communicating where they're taking industrial action in that bugs? the head of the g. b union representing those ambulance workers says that is simply a lie. you would actually safer on a slate day because other members are leaving picket lines. and we have a range cover to cover people who are act and you meet a simply nor to on the story goldman, a wasteful, so should spend less time trying to attack. i'm billings will cause a moral to try to resolve the dispute. well, if anything, it seems that the and parties actually getting worse right now you've got help boss is urging the government to get round the table and talk about, hey, we go, here's your therapist. going on, swipe in the near future and possibly junior adult tooth as well. that doesn't seem to be much sign of a great group.
