to oxygen, which is released instead, and hydrogen, which is captured teams energy. essentially, we used 3 hydrogen to replace coal that we used today in the preferences and with our weekend 3 though for the suit to mission problems in making. this is a huge project shrouded in secrecy. i can see the end product type. so lisa bowls is actually pure. i am holding a well fast is, is a big step for the whole industry. when we make these transition ah, rescue teams of racing to save people trapped under the rubble off to to powerful earthquakes. had something to keep and northern syria. more than 4000 people have died across the region sofa and one of the largest, if a quite recorded and took here. these live pictures from ha tay,

one of the worst affected regions into kia many their site. they are still waiting for help. ah, until mccrae, this is l 0. live from dar ha. also coming up. unless he, anyone in. the beal beal, region of south central chile, where forest fires continue to be out of control. and when current national health is just beginning to trickle in, in china lifts the ban on 2 groups traveling abroad after 3 years of covert restrictions. ah. rescue operations continue across southern to kia and parts of northern syria. after 2 powerful earthquakes hit the region early on monday, more than 4800 people have been killed across the 2 countries. the world health

organization is wanting. the death toll could rise 8 falls, of the southern to care of region of hearty is one of the worst affected. more than 1200 buildings have been destroyed in the province alone. people have spent the night sifting through the rubble, looking for any signs of life. lucifer. we heard him, they're calling out asking for help. they asked to be rescued. we cannot rescue them. how can we rescue them? nobody has come since this morning. nobody, we have nobody look around. look through this other drug heard voices. our children are in there. what can we do? the building is already partially collapsed. this is human life. what can you do when you hear calls for help? there are no emergency workers, no soldiers, nobody. this is a neglected place on which a sin and casino joins us now from his temple, where she is. morris are in development since in him. 24 hours on the extent of the devastation is all too clear. the focus, of course,

is on the search and rescue if it can, you bring us up to date worth where that is at while the search and rescue operations that have been on their way since the early hours of this earthquake. however, despite that, more than 16000 rescue teams and volunteers are on the ground for helping those people trapped on the rebels, they destroyed buildings. it is not enough as this earthquake and $7.00 magnitude earthquake hit 10 cities in eastern and it's all that we're talking about, the vast region, a larger group, and more than $10000000.00 a population, including all of those cities. the reason why the rescue operations are going slow, 1st, the damage on the infrastructure. second, the climate condition a for a ports in the region including got down to have ha, type,

other now and call her mom or as a ports have been close to civil litigation since yesterday morning. because in some of the a ports, the runaways a are destroyed, they are literally and broken, cracked, and highways are in the same position, especially between hot tie and got down tech and highways to the a month. that's why it is getting more difficult for the rescue workers to reach out to there and bring you home and it's harry and medical supplies to these areas . and besides, it's the climate conditions. as i said, the weather is, is not promising. it is snowing in some of the cities, for instance in malaria, and the among there is heavy snow, which is expected to continue for a week. and there is rain. so these are the challenges for rescue workers in the coming hours and days. and of course, are all dealing with ongoing off to shocks as well, which is making the decision risk that much more difficult

a definitely because there had been hundreds of after sharks after the 1st earthquake and we had 2 major earthquakes, nearly the same magnitude, 7.87.6 magnitude yesterday and both earthquakes had strong after shocks, which are measured between 5.026.6. so many buildings collapsed during those after shocks, as they are still continue. people are in panic. and this is also one of the reasons a rescue. workers are having difficulty working in the area. but i have to underline that there are emergence and needs 1st. accommodation is a basic, is the main problem. according to turkey, disaster management agency more than 340000 people spend the night in the shelters, dormitory buildings, universe, the buildings provided in these 10 cities. but people who had, who have the option,

who had the car, were able to escape the super center escaped the danger. but there are hundreds of thousands of people trapped under those rebels. of course, food is also another problem. despite the rescue workers 8 organizations are trying to reach out to people, bring a soup and read. even some bakeries in some cities are not able to operate. and of course blood donation to kids. read question is making call for blood donations because this hasn't, shouldn't be interrupted as so many people are being hospitalized as well. so their emergency needs and more than 60 countries offered help to, to get some of them all their descent, rescue workers, my supplies, and even troops. but some experts are making a call that the turkish state should immediately announce a state of emergency, and military should be in the area in order to avoid any other challenges in the

coming days and hours. okay, send them cuz the only thank you very much from a sample or the quite kits near the city of gassy. on tip al jazeera is erma al. herani is following the rescue operations at an unknown of you, if you have moved around causing on tip and there have been a number of buildings that collapsed. we have been hearing people trapped under durham, bulls, and calling for help. as we have mentioned, a large number of buildings collapsed because of the earthquake that had certain turkey, especially gaussian tip from where we broke up such pictures, showing victims being pulled out from underneath a collapse building a la la cross the border and neighboring syria. the government is calling for urgent help from the united nations. at least 1500 people were killed in the earthquakes, their hundreds of families in the north tramped under destroyed buildings. the disaster has added to misery already faced by millions of syrians displaced by 11 years of civil war. many are living in makeshift camps than hotter reports.

a child is told to recite to prayer, la la, la la, trapped under the rubble of the 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. yeah. the, 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. yes sir, you do like

a circuit german. civilian buildings have completely been destroyed due to an earthquake that hit the north west of syria around 4 30 in the morning. the situation is dire and catastrophic. tens of buildings have fallen in the city of sel. kins 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 northwestern project, it's hosted by the bomb being by that of station by the assert, jim 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 insurance look cannot receive all 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 framers 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 a parent center for their elders. either failed or several countries are sending teams and aid to help rescue efforts and to kia and syria. that's after the turkish

government appealed for help. the european union and the us have mobilized search and rescue teams. they include firefighters and humanitarian aid organizations. russia is sending rescuers to both countries, and israel says it's ready to help syria and what would be a real act of co operation between the rival neighbors genes. luka is the deputy spokesperson for the un office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs. he speaks more on the response if it's this is almost as bad as it has been our colossal, the soft hit this area and has hit these. these 2 countries were little more than 24 hours into it. and just i think in the past 12 hours, also we have seen that this poll almost double, if not more. so this is indeed a very, very big soft, but it's also something where the united nations has mobilized very quickly.

we do have a lot of staff actually actually channel and i stations working in the area what already there they themselves have been affected, of course, but they are supporting the authorities who are responding as, as, as best they can with the material that they have in that have been stockpiles. what is happening now is that there's a very big effort going on to mobilize the additional international support that needs to get in there. in the 1st instance, to help get survivors out of out of the problem to help get the immediate life saving emergency assistance into the, into the right hands and out to the people who need it. but this is something that is gonna be with us for weeks to come. i'll meet urologist ro, mckelly, joins us here in the studio noun road. can you just give us

a sense of what the weather conditions are like on the ground for these rescue teams? i came in after yesterday. the storm has blown through it, almost looking benign this morning. i'll give you a heads up on exactly what's going on. the moment, temperature wise. what we'll study that 1st, think temps is, might be the thing that we need to be can most concerned about. at the moment we sit virtually everywhere above freezing. now it's cold movie, but it is above freeze, which is probably in itself significant now cause most of turkey is high. most of northern syria is quite high, but there are areas where it's loan even where it's low temperatures overnight are going to be the thing. but look at the weather. at the moment, it's only snowing in bingo, but then in the upper care, it's cloudy and breezy. it has rained a bit, it hasn't snowed as far as i know. it's misty down the leper and gaussian tap. and that's the general pictures. so say it feels fairly benign, but whether in the sky okami after sky, this is what we're expecting during the day. so it will snow all rain probably in the east, the rescue area, but further south and into northern syria. sunshine is ball light to be the thing.

so by day temperatures are going to rise and we don't see any more significant weather, at least in a large part of the area. but overnight, once again we go subzero this time probably more sub 0 than a minus 5 and a leper minus 4. but the same indiana appeared as well as for what about the sky? a bit is snow still, but this is sort of normal winter weather. now the temperatures are a bit depressed. i have to say. and over the coming night, and i've just overlayed the blue want to show you by day again, we break out into the sunshine. it's a sort of repeat physician. but let me give you a 3 day forecast just to give you an idea by day. what about freezing is, is the ever killed again, about 9 minus 6 or minus 4? be fairly typical that is below average and it is going to be, i think, our major problem. okay, thank you very much for that update. rob, well, still ahead on al jazeera will speak to the head of the turkish red crescent, with a low to stone risky with us. and the president of ecuador, except defeat,
