government is calling for urgent help from the united nations. i. let's show you the c now in gaussian tab, southern a turkey, which is one of the worst affected areas. as you can see, heavy machinery being used there to try and rescue those trapped under the rubble. al jazeera, cynical seal glue is monitoring the situation for us. any, some ball she joins us live on the news. our cinema, it's been more than 24 hours now. since this earthquake struck, and it's a race against time to find survivors, as we can see from these live pictures, bring us up to speed for us with a search and rescue operation. definite to fully as is said, that this is a race with time because the 1st 24 hours and then the next 48 hours are the most important. a period in rescue operation, as we have experienced during the previous earthquakes in turkey, took in poland to earthquakes. it has a history for the earthquakes,

and this is one of the deadliest in its history. in the last century, the rescue operations have been under, under waste and there is quick happened in the morning. but since the magnitude of their escape was very high, and as for the experts this fight, the technical figure is 7.8. and the the effect of their escape was actually $11.00. so this is one of the reasons there was so much devastation. and since the earthquake depth was not so far, it was less than 8 kilometers down the under the ground. this is one of the reasons why 10 cities in eastern and it's all they have been affected by this earthquake. that's why there is a huge area, a large area that the rescue workers response team need to reach out to and the area, those 10 cities and means more than 13 and

a half 1000000 people living in this area. so allies of 13 and a half 1000000 have been affected by this earthquake. and after the earthquake for a poor had been shut down. it's a civil aviation in god's in to in huts i in kara, mom rush the at the center of the earthquake. and then one of the biggest cities in the region in southern true care, the main highways in connecting those cities from. yes, yes, sorry to interrupt you because i wanted to get to a point you just mentioned in the fact that a lot of the air force has been shut down. and we've heard that a lot of provinces that have been affected. don't have electricity right now. don't have water, it's freezing, as you've said, the winter temperatures are just awful right now. it must be chaos, i imagine. and a lot of people desperate to find information about their loved ones.

exactly. cities like huts, i l. d. a mom. they were not reachable because of the airport because of the highways and because of the climate situation. that's why since yesterday we are hearing people are trying to reach out the response teams and rescue teams. the disaster management agency. yes. the government says they are doing. it's their best to deal with the situation, but it's not enough. that's why we have a nearly 4004 in rescue teams on the ground of working with the turkish or rescue teams. it to save those people at the a. these are the challenges i had for the rescue teams and i, we are reading some stories like a be a baby for us so that so it, every time, every hour we are going through the situation may get worse and more chaotic. this fight the efforts to save those people and to help these people and,

and there are nearly 400000 people who had to spend the night in the shelters. and i provided places. so this needs to be organized well. otherwise, a kills might be a scene in the region fully. alright, sin m, thank you very much for that. updates in m. casino glue a live there in a sample. let's not speak to another voc correspondence. so stress reach one of the affected areas, bernard smith, he's joining us on the line from shanley or fi in southeast center, kia ad burnett, what's the extent of the devastation where you are, what have you seen since you've arrived there? so i take a message inside the 5 very obviously they stop and shout anybody i voice the rubble ball. we haven't

actually most of the city reasonably ok that all the very wide about structurally building a lot like very, very danger. authoration really worried about safety around you can see that people don't really know bennett what sort of person is being provided so far to the communities there that are affected by this disaster. well we know that actually the certain government lends people to lead this with an area of about related, well, 1000000 people around cities out. it's

a major lightly monetary plants with they will lee with people or wants to leave such as the rest of the building risk shops. ready the turkish couple wants people out. now we understand that the arbiter world, se, so he will about it. when they are quite the way you can see what sort of damages we call. so it's, it's much, much harder to get quite a bit here. so far away from bernard you, you mentioned the aftershocks fair and on monday we saw some incredible pictures of

building just collapsing after the, those after shops. what efforts are being made right now to remove people from those dangerous areas, because obviously people can go back into these buildings and they can't stay near them either. well, this is what must i say here in a book. it's not right, right? trying to lead them out of the why we know people believe we arrive ourselves in our people about who want to get on. why get out? because the problem is such a scale of what they don't want to be helping those who are alive,

leaving people who are willing to get out. so they can concentrate on extraordinary y'all all the extraordinary task of searching to survive in such a widespread barrier. section finance, thank you very much. have a moment here is bennie smith reporting live from charlie or find southeast in turkey, one of the affected areas. now as bernard mention and international effort is being stepped up, that's after the turkish government appeals for help. katara is setting up $10000.00 mobile homes in the affected areas in turkey and syria. it's also sending 120 rescue workers of field hospital and humanitarian assistance. just here is stephanie deca joins us now on the line from our data base here in kata. for more on what aid is about to leave. tell us about the sort of operation that is getting underway here in cotton to assist the people in turkey and syria. but we're on the

3rd aircraft starting today. it is a large 1. 32. you mentioned there was the metal frame that will be part of setting up. there's a medical team on board, their search and rescue back on board as well. of course, the 1st few days off or wait for the crucial and trying to get to survivor this heavy equipment on for the wow. i will be flying into one of the airports in the southeast. it's been off in an effort to try and get as much of a possible other countries are part of the same not, but i think over 45 countries from a liability. so this is very much for asia, but i think as far as probably been to the i didn't guide, but some of the places are really difficult to reach. we know people wanting for

more help on their own because of both for structure issues, highways. it's completely collab sneaking holes and some of the main road and also the freezing weather conditions which are for me to crucial to get to those. under the level i saw both stops just before 4 30 in the morning. people would have been asleep in their pajamas, through their traps in the sub 0 condition really get helps do as soon as possible. so again, we're just about to take off for the abbey and heading into south stephanie, do you have any information, any more detail about what aide is going? where? because obviously for syria, it's a bit complicated, isn't it? because it's a conflict. it's a civil war going on in syria and they've been fewer a offer for syria because of the function there. do you have any information about

what type of, of supplies or aid equipment or so on is going to turkey and syria? well, this is some, some of the teams break up into to carry out the problem with a funny tool when it comes to contact. and even though before you still have areas that are controlled to have then the main areas. now, because the government is complicated, we haven't yet any international aid or the border from turkey area to go see and to get it's possible because as he's been reporting, it's divided this quick already even in places where it was more

established if you will. of course, serial, but after think there are enough people living in a lot of laps in the civil defense white helmet was if you have work throughout this period, civil war seems so much when it comes to what i decided to do, what they need to get and you mentioned much harder to get that in theory. all right, then it is in to talk to stephanie deca. thank you very much, stephanie, that decker on the line there from the data base here in kata, where an 8 operation is about to leave, cut off for turkey and syria, she'll be updating us on that throughout the day here on alger sera. meanwhile, taiwan has sent 130 rescue ways, including medical personnel and search jobs. it's also donating funds and tons of

a to turkey. the interior minister says ankara was one of the 1st country to help taiwan when it was shaken by an earthquake in 1999. joining us now on the news, our is l. e. s. i thought, who is the spokesman for the international rescue committee? middle east and north africa region is leih from amman in jordan. thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us. i know that some of your staff have been directly affected by these disasters. talk to us 1st about the situation in turkey . what are you hearing about it, and are you getting a better picture of what survivors need right now? yes. hi, fully. thank you for having me. i'm, the situation couldn't be worse. it's really a tragedy here and we're still in the 1st 36 hours of one of the largest earthquakes have had hit the region over century and it has damaged road checkpoints, infrastructure we're, we're, we're hearing so many limitations to access our staff are unable to get

a proper interconnection reception. we're trying to get hold of everyone to make sure everyone is safe and well. one of my colleagues at the receipt told me that was the worst part of this experience was the unknown. but they woke up at 4 in the morning with buildings collab trying to ensure their loved ones made it safely. they didn't know where to go. it was just, it was chaotic. so the tuition is really difficult and at the moment we are still trying to ensure that all of our staff and our partners who are supporting us on the ground have made it safely and are able to, to review and get by their life. so they can continue and rescue and save lives of those who have been directly impacted by this tragic the next few days are critical, of course for those who are still trapped and alive, but also for those who have survived and have no way to go right now in freezing temperatures, what sort of priorities are most needed right now?

what are the most urgent priorities? certainly, as we mentioned, it was snowing just few days ago, and the weather is at night. temperature is columbus. they get to minus degrees, minus 2 degrees celsius. so our stats are, for example, our staff or some of them are seeing in cars. they no longer have home to stay. and the parent is obviously to ensure 1st of all that lives are see we need to ensure their a shelter for these people have locked their homes. 3 ensure that we're able to rescue people who are still trapped in trouble. and that also means mean we eventually we need to understand that this earthquake doesn't recognize or respect borders. so what we need to do is run up in funding and an assistance to ensure that we're covering this gap and we're, we're responding to all these needs on the grounds at interest and risky, an international committee really needs to kill up the assistance and the funding agency, right, and yes, i want to talk to you about syria and it's hard to imagine

a more vulnerable population being targeted by such a disaster than, than the syrians who are also living in a civil war. how complicated is relieved to syria in both, you know, the north, west and governmental areas. certainly for the, for the people in northern. sure. yet it's much difficult because we've been even before this tragedy we were talking about how the, the economy has been devastated. we were talking about the color outbreak that has happened a few months ago. and then we're talking about winter conditions where people have no access to fuel, no access to fluid. essentially, prices are higher, inflation is just a crisis with an increase of their just keep getting worse for the population. we're trying to understand the situation better in terms of access of humanitarian aid, right? because we do know, for example, there's one official border crossing between turkey and syria, where the u. n. has the assistance crossing. so we need to ensure that this is open

because according to reports we've heard from the ground yesterday was none. operational. so we are hoping that assistance can keep slowing and can be korean to cover all these needs on the ground because the situation again is still really devastating and he has a lot of countries have offered aid. but there's a huge time gap, isn't there between pledging deploying the aid and synchronizing with the local authorities on the ground. how are you able to coordinate the, the best response on the ground? for the i r c, we very much welcome the assistance and how many coaches have pledged their support to turkey. and i mean the central, again, to remember that we need, we need assistance on the ground regardless of what's happening right now. is that within the 1st 24 hours, we still think that assistance could be done in a much could be escalated and increased. for now we are still,

i believe most of the agencies are still trying to assess the situation. understand what's happening with the ground. ensure that their staff are well and they're able to to, to do their work. so they can continue because this is a trauma traumatic incidents here. so we doesn't need to prioritize the safety of our staff so they can ensure they can continue doing their work and their life saving work on the ground. thank you so much for talking to us as a spokesman for the international rescue committee. middle east and north africa region. thank you for your time. as you heard, the rescue operation is being hampered by the weather conditions on the ground that's bringing our senior meteorologist ra mckay. we from on this. how bad is the weather better than yesterday? better than snow still flown through, we haven't see the end of the snow, but i don't think that's going to be a major problem. let's have a look at the moment. count need, temperature is everywhere. are above freezing, though. admittedly not by the very much and the current conditions. it's snowing in

. bingo. it was raining in your book here. last time i looked us about an hour ago . it's otherwise bright. but the windy wet weather is down of coast 11 and the snow proper is probably in the heart of turkey. not so much over the area that we are most interested in the rescue point of view. however, there is snow in the east. it's not snowing is going to be raining differences, you know, very slightly because of the temperature. they're all of a freezing on us probably in the day, but they are below average and that's going to be an enduring problem. i think tonight term just go below freezing or die into freezing donna afar colder than they should be. and was that you still what snow in the so overall frost is going to be the enduring problem for the night to come. although by day the wilderness got bad, that is pick deer back here again, wednesdays, lights, you still see some snow then maybe rain shower, then fine. but look at the temperatures to 3 or 4 by day at best minus 6 by night and compare the average is 5 or 6 degrees below the average,

which is typical of the whole area. so although we see the back of this though, eventually and sunshine will be the daytime sing, our overall problem is like time cross, which are going to be with this for many days, even though the days 5 calling. i rob, thank you very much for that update. now there's plenty more head on this al jazeera and use our. we're looking at some of the days. i haven't used the president of ecuador concedes defeats after early results show, voters have rejected his referendum tens of thousands of health care workers walk off the job in england in the biggest 70 strike action of its kind. and we hear from the 2 black quarterbacks set to make history at the super bowl this week. that's coming up in sports later with ah, 1st to t lay, which is battling as deadly as wildfires on record that have killed at least 26

recycling alone, isn't tackling the mountains of single used plastic globally. unwilling. there is commitments that have been made me u. k. i swear to improve. so hang and improve collection of plastic. i think the real problem that this report i like is that fundamentally we're using our too much plastic as well as other materials. and if you just look at, prevent dealing with things once waste has been created, you're not going to get to the root cause is that the throw away society that we're living in? it is a global problem. it's not just the u. k, that's tinkering around the edge of it is. it is globally that we're not getting to the heart of the problem by instituting systems of review by making it as easy as possible for people to not up for a single year, plastic or anything, but rather to embrace a refill revolution and to and to not need this throw away living that we've become so reliance on, but that's damaging to such

a great extent. i think that the one that really got it right yet, but there is a promise in the making in the human environment program has said that it's going to create by this year at rest resolution. that's going to be legally binding for all the member states to end plastic pollution. and so they're going to be looking at the full life cycle of plastics that are not going to be thinking about how do we recycle what's made. they're going to be thinking about how do we ensure that we don't make more than we need and that we address all of the patients of using too much plastic. almost half of the animals in the united states are risk of extinction. and the out know for plants and ecosystems isn't any better. that's a song warning from north american scientists who say immediate action is needed to protect the by diversity before it's last forever. alan fisher report, there are changes to the face of america, small, slow, but potentially hugely damaging. nature is 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 with 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 crosses 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 species of tree habitat degradation and lun. 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 this 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. report says there are nearly 1250 plants in the critically imperiled 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. before there's nothing left to protect alan fisher, i'll just either still i had on al jazeera ah, this phase was captivated millions around the globe. i'm step class report and from

world. have now been brought together for a new exhibition that boston had a preview. she may have been an imaginary figure, but she's become one of the world's most famous faces. the girl with a pearl earring was created by johan samir in the dutch city of delphi, around $665.00, and she's captured people's attention ever since. with amir paint, never becomes painful when you look at his paintings. and also when you look at the girl was pearl, you can never see paint. you see a woman looking at you. and there's a lot of mystery around it with an average of 2 paintings a year for may or may have not been prolific. but all his work has made an impact, a master of light and color. he use techniques expert are still trying to understand to day finance. he 1st one who painted blue shadows have incredible. so we have a lot of painting to see in this exhibition. we can see this,

only a guess. the master, also called the sphinx of doubt because of his obscurity, did not leave much personal history. by scanning for me as paintings, anna caitler and her team got a unique glimpse into how they were created. this is a way to look over his shoulder and away when he is painting. so we know which materials he used and we know how he started his composition and how he ended up in . of course, we will never, totally understand him. as a true perfectionist, he made a lot of changes before he decided on his final compositions resulting and paintings that 350 years after his death year. at the age of 43 are still speaking to us. steadfast and al jazeera in amsterdam. time for says joe foley, thank you very much gone. his football association is confirmed that they play at christian a to has been rescued from the rubble of a claps building off to the earthquakes and tia and syria, to who plays to help the sports in the turkish. the play is receiving treatment.
