about 80000 people were killed in quakes that hit the northwest in 1999. with a history of such natural disasters, many are asking why the country wasn't better prepared and why so many buildings collapsed. danika solo l to 0 stumble last week now to natasha. go name, who's been following developments from istanbul at natasha. so cruz continued to work or the night trying to pull people from the bubble. how things progressing there? after 2 major earthquakes, dera and hit turkey. in a matter of 9 hours, the government says it has rescued more than $7800.00 people. as you mentioned, the government continues along with rescue crews to try to pull people out of the rubble. bear in mind, the temperatures have been skirting to almost freezing. it has been snowing or fries rating for much of the day, and as one government official said,

these conditions are making things, quote difficult. there is more bad weather coming. 10 cities in the south have been declared disaster areas, and in many of those cities there is no electricity. and there is no natural gas. many of the electrical plants have been damaged and some of the natural gas pipelines have also been damaged. the government is hoping to repair those and restore electricity by wednesday unclear just how ambitious a goal that may be, because we're almost 24 hours into the $7.00 magnitude. the most powerful turkey has seen since 1939, and a full picture of the devastation is only starting to emerge in the city of a tie population. about $1600000.00 journalists are starting to arrive on the scene and are describing scenes of massive devastation,

devastation that will likely become more evident. once the sun rises, the government has told people not to go into damage buildings to remain off the roads. so emergency vehicles can get to people who are desperate for assistance. at last count, 338000 people have been offered shelter either on a university campus or a hotel. but when that has not been available, there have been scenes of many people bundling up with their kids in tow and sheltering inside car. first, the us geological survey says that the damage from this earthquake could top $1000000000.00 more than 50 countries have often offered assistance to turkey via and that assistance it appears is going to be greatly needed. the president here president irwin has said that there is a state of national morning until february 12th, all right, and natasha game. they live for us. the interest on bill natasha. thank you. will

out a 0 producer off, but alpha t is in ghazi into one of the worst affected areas. he explained what he and his family went through during the tremors we going through one of the heaviest earthquakes that i've ever seen. and i think turkey also seen that the situation was on describable. i mean like, you don't know what is going on and you can feel that some of there's weeks that i have been witnessed before. it was like you feel that the windows you feel the, the tv is shaking, but at this fine, i felt that the wall is shaking the building. the whole building was shaking. it was like it's, it's massive like at the moment that we faced it. i couldn't think of anything just to put my kids on the table and stay there until they're gone. and i was wishing that moment to be a dream. i didn't want it to be like

a truly what's happening. that's what we've seen. i just wanted to be a dream and start to pray at that time to be a dream. but it wasn't. after the quick, just finish for a 2nd. we just picked what we can get and we moved outside. and you can see the small tense that i had with me that's with my kids in it's my mother was just sitting next by the temperature is under 0. it's undescribable. that's what we've got seen. some of the building was falling down in, got down to up and then i got my, my gosh, chinese foss and i've just received like a few hours ago. that's my uncle and his wife and she's 2 children was just dad, i'm the one of the full part. can i talk you so far? they couldn't get them out of there. and we are still waiting just for their bodies to be well across the board and neighboring syria,

the quite strong cities of aleppo. huh. and takia, at least 1400 people have been killed. the quakers paul misery on millions of display syrians, many are still living and makes it camps after 11 years of civil war. and a harder has more a child is told to recite to prayer. i le le dropped 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 collapsed across 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 states 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 complete electrical blackout. it's really catastrophic. everyone is on the streets. the buildings are either destroyed or barely holding here. many of the buildings that collapse were already not structurally sound due to years of war. civil defense team say they need machinery to rescue people while the few hospitals that survived the government attacks in recent years are overwhelmed. that medical sector already in north or northwest, it's fraudulent,

it's hosted by the bomb being by that of station by the gym. many hospitals, many doctors were killed by the palm, big and the best time that we were suffering from the pandemic covina. and after and after now, the medical sector cannot handle all of those entered the cannot receive. all of those injured people are already facing a severe storm in freezing temperatures and aftershocks are making their lives worse. 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 started just after 3 a. m, when most people were asleep and lasted for at least 40 seconds. 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 center for their elk as ita, built for almost half have been lumley, is the you in residence and humanitarian coordinator in syria. 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 builders, have collapsed, and numerous buildings are suffered to be a structural damage and made to collapse my gloves. in time. we are bare use in schools for sales. when people are homeless, people who are only they have been homeless, maybe before many schools have collapsed so i'm no longer can not be used. so the restriction is difficult and not only and and, and homes,

but also the key and the, the coastal area, the whole ation. we have a situation that is not easy for up to in 1st infrastructure the, 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 hung up and navy in other places. we need a lot of help here. so to come here and out of air including water, food blanket, people in it's time to give what they can to send to the people who need it. most 5 boxes and they are battling, blazes killed dozens of people on the

news. hello there. there was some welcome relief to start the week across eastern areas of the us and canada as we look to north america. that's after the bitterly cold blast of air pulled its way further off towards the north east. much clear skies along that east coast with a lot of warm flooding back in to cities like washington dc. but we have got another area of low pressure that's bringing some very heavy snow to eastern parts of canada, trickling across the great lakes, turning into wet weather and as it trailed down towards the deep south, we are going to see a rash of severe storms break out suddenly as we get into the mid week places like texas, behind that much clearer, ultra wintery bloss blows its way across the north of the rockies, clear skies and sunshine stretching down across california towards that southwest corner. we find that in the north of mexico, as we move to central america,

things are going to get wet. however, across the northeast, when that rash of storms pulling across the deep south, we will see some heavier rain here, a mix of scattered showers across much of nicaragua, honduras costa rica, and panama the caribbean. seeing more in the way of sunshine for wet weather. we have to head to south america. we've got that trail rushing off towards eastern areas of brazil bringing severe thunderstorms with a warning out for heavy rain. ah, ah ah ah

ah. ah, blue ah. welcome back. okay, reminder the top stories here. this, our rescue operations are underway across southern turkey and parts of northern syria. alpha 2 python earthquakes hit the region early on monday. at least 2300 people have died in turkey. in syria, the quake struck the cities of aleppo. huh. i'm not takia, at least 1400 people have been killed. bear the lakers, paul misery on millions of display serums. still living in makeshift camps off the 11 years of civil war. but the european union and the u. s. are among those sending international aid to takia and syria after the turkish government asked for help.

nearly 20 search and rescue teams including firefighters and humanitarian aid groups, are being sent from the u. rush, as also sending rescue workers to both countries. and israel says it's ready to send emergency help to syria, and what would be rare cooperation between the warring neighbors. the last, as far as the european commission spokesman for crisis management and humanitarian aid, he explained how the use emergency response mechanism works in the early hours of the morning, turkey activating the civil protection mechanism. now this means that our crisis management structures are being used to the, to the 4 to hearing in brussels. and we have been in touch with all of our members space to try and see who is in a position to provide the 5th. until now, i can confirm that we have many to mobilize nearly 20 search and rescue team. from 15 you member states for more than half of the member states have already put forward assistance, feel montenegro, shipping and sending

a team to carry out these things are already on their way. some of them, for example, the hungarians, the romania, the bulgarians, have already arrived. they contribute to the rescue operations on the ground. and gradually, as me go into the nights in the morning, more and more teams will reach a turkey. now as a 2nd step, we are trying to focus now on emergency medical team. we have a feel for it's already for spain is ready to send the team. you can expect more and more such teams as coming in in the coming hours and days. they are requesting 2 types of assistance from the european union on the one hand search and rescue team. this is the reason why we focused on this type of assistance in the past hours. so mobilized nearly 20 such thing. this means hundreds of people were now on the way hundreds of specialists going to work from members. and as a 2nd dimension, they are also requesting us to make available emergency medical team,

which is now our focus. we already have a couple of teams and proposed by member states and we will do our utmost to get them on the ground as quickly as possible. let's begin. shem on davinsky. he's a professor at the department of earth and environment at florida international university. he joins us live from miami shame on good, shabby with a so look, i mean this was a pretty powerful earthquake. 7.8 on the scale. talk us to the magnitude and scale of quake and why it was just so wide spread. i mean, tremors were felt as far away as grisome, lebanon, where the are, the scale that we use for magnitude is called lower written scales. so it means that a magnitude 7 is 10 times stronger than magnitude sakes and magnitude. a 8 would be 10 times strong as the magnitude 7 and a 100 times stronger than magnitude 6. so we have here very powerful earthquake, 7.67.8. distract the,

the area over there in south close with the border between turkey in syria along a false line that separate between the 2 plates, the rabbit plate in the a anatolia plate. and as a thank plate, they move slowly, one respect to the other, the stress is accommodated a long this fall line. and when the stress is too high and cannot really, he sustained within the crust, it ruptures. and that's where we get these a larger weights. often we have a smaller earthquakes, a or moderate earthquakes, but in this case, it was a really long time about 500 years before the previous earthquakes, a rupture, the same form segments showing how, how is this quake? how does this earthquake compared to other large quakes, for example, here, quake off the coast of japan in 2011. that caused that nuclear meltdown at the folk ashima nuclear plant. yeah, there's a one in there of the course of japan is much larger. it's that was

a magnitude and $9.00 or $9.00, which is more than a 100 times stronger than this in a long is some directions on or along the coast lines. in the pacific rim, we have larger earthquakes. ah, the earthquakes in continental area like this and restful in turkey. we have another foot line in turkey that they generated. the 1999 is meter earthquakes. that could have capable of generating burton magnitude $7.00 to $8.00. which of our dissipated devastating and that, that a devastation is because it's very close to a population center. so they are larger the distance between the epicenter and the population center, these less damage. in this case, we have very the earthquake, who cares? very close to population and that's why we seasonal destruction or their shame on just a final thought to you. i mean the holy grail upsized knowledge. it's like yourself

is to be able to predict when the next big one is going to happen. but that's an extremely difficult science. i mean, how far down the road are, we are being able to predict earthquakes and how powerful they're going to be. well, the air squeaks are going to stay ah, is stronger, earthquake and moderate than we have is. we can switch all the time. ah, the idea fe we can predict a the larger earthquake, so the stronger one. ah, it's still beyond our capabilities. our however, we still, we have in the past decade developed a methods of fe, only alert. when asked week occurred, we send a fast wave, but not very a distract folks. ah, a right away. it's called the p waive. and these can be monotone on the way when we have a it before the larger money to de escalate. a waves come over along so in some area like in california, in mexico,

in israel to have an early alert system that can provide the alert of several seconds to people to get out of the houses. oh, to start down a some facilities. in this case, a, the earthquake occurred very close to the r, a population center. and so that wasn't really much time for far learning the people, if such system was there a installed in southern dorky. so it's that this between the default line and the population center shem on davinsky. really good to get your thoughts and your analysis. thank you very much for talking to us. thank you. i thank you for bye. okay. mother, he's now is when he forces up till at least 5 palestinians during a raid in jericho in the occupied westbank. israel says to the individuals killed were involved in unattached late last month, need abraham reports or to certain numbers 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, se palestinian fighters each 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. often 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 would informed at least 5 al athenians had 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 his release . your feel. 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 in the league. it is ready supplement more than a week ago, although no one was injured than the shooting. it was who was behind it, the tory,

these release. and you armed group called the october job brigade, claimed responsibility as a result is really forces in booth and 9 dave locate on jericho on saturday and his really rate failed to arrest and suspects but led to a gunfight. where in this part of the west bank for years, jericho has remained 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. how's the militia and land confiscations? last year more young palestinians joined quite in groups in jeannine and nab, listen to north of the west bank. now that's also happening in jericho, decent full, so just more than half of palestinians support the army struggle against israel, the highest number into decades. many here said that's not surprising for you on

society that feels left behind by its leaders and the world. while having to fee sofa and increasingly violent israeli military occupation with that. but him al jazeera, the occupied westbank firefighters in chile continue to battle. the deadliest blazes on record which have now killed at least $26.00 people. 800 homes have been destroyed more than a 1000 people injured in the fires, which have been burning since thursday. i hate waivers complicating efforts to extinguish the flames. 11 people have been detained in connection with the fires present. deborah burrage has declared emergencies in the worsted areas and international health has started arriving. i'll latin america added to listen. human is in santa wanna remedy people, flint. there are fires all around that are still out of control both here in the b o. b o region and to the north in, in the new blue areas as well as further south. but these are the 2 worst hit areas . we've been speaking to people throughout the day who have lost their homes and

who are able to flee just fairly with their lives. they say that by the time they got the warning, they had less than 5 minutes to just grab a bag or anything they could and get out. there are many, many more people that live in areas where there are no roads, no easy roads with on which to escape. so these people have been missing so far. authorities and firefighters have not been able to reach these areas, and it's presume that at least some of them actually were not able to get out with their lives. we also hearing that there are some loot, there's looting going on around here. so some people are staying intense or in blankets on their property, trying to at least preserve the tins that were on the roofs if nothing else which they believe they might be able to recycle. now, 40 percent of animals in the united states and more than a 3rd of plans are risk of extinction. that's the start warning from north american . scientists who say the biodiversity that remains must be protected now before

it's last forever. alan fisher report, there are changes to the face of america, small, slow, but potentially hugely damaging nature. it's also incredibly complex and we don't always know what the sort of the keystone species is. sometimes people call them. so when you have a habitat and species start going extinct or becoming smaller in number, eventually that can cause the collapse of that habitat type. and you report from nature surf pills, 5 decades of data from more than 1000 scientists in the us and canada. and it pinpoints areas where land is unprotected and animals and plants are at risk of extinction. part of what so important there is you have data that cross the state life. and so a species might be endangered or imperiled in a certain state. but in the states around it, it's not. so what's at risk? the famous venus fly chop phoned in the wild and only

a few counties in the carolinas. half of all cacti might disappear. and $200.00 species of tree habitat degradation. and lon conversion is also putting animals at risk and all of this can impact humans. another one of the, the groups of species of the report showed is really at risk is fresh water muscles . these are not species, most people get excited about, but they play really important roles within the ecosystems. they're what filters the water and keeps it clean. if you care about going fishing with their son or your daughter, you're going to care about having clean dynamic rivers. the fish that live in those rivers depend on that, that ecosystem service that those muscles provide. the report says there are nearly $1250.00 plants in the critically and paddled category the final step before they come extinct. and reset to say the government needs to step up with more money to create safety zones and protection areas.
