6:06 pm
unfortunately, no success, but this is just a very, very small example of the massive, extraordinary humanitarian challenge facing the turkish all for it is not just in shot of europe, but across east and southeast and turkey. it's home to some 12000000 people. the turkish government is encouraging everybody who can, to try and leave it doesn't want people here because of the risk of other buildings falling down because of the risk of the shocks. so it's offering $5.00 tickets for people to get on flights out of this part of turkey and over to stumble. another cities on the western side of the country, humanitarian flights. the coming in. they will be able to take people out to want to leave this area. the government wants to be able to concentrate on the humanitarian response and trying to rescue people trapped in buildings. it doesn't want any more buildings falling down with people inside the bodies wide. it's
6:07 pm
hoping that as many people as possible, we'll just leave this read. let's bring a natasha. the name from istanbul, natasha. you're monitoring all the developments from there. just tell us about the aid operation that's taking place where you are. there is a high octane piece here at this exhibition center in is damn bowl about a 1000 volunteers have been working furiously. they will be working throughout the day. the head of the operation here said for 24 hours a day for of possibly 3 months. if necessary, alistair, feel fair. free to pan off, you see this line behind me of boxes. the destination of these goods is the city of a tie. one of the 10 cities in the south of turkey, that has been devastated by this 7.8 magnitude earthquake. i spoke to the head of the department of social services. here in the city of is done bull earlier. she
6:08 pm
said, we need to have hope and we need to show the city of a tie that we are giving them our solidarity. ah, people are hungry. people are. yeah. it's very bad conditions. you know, they're, they're trying to, trying to stay alive. very, very bad phones, they're hungry there. this snow is also where they're very hardly so they need to pull them down. they need to warm down, but we'll be in there for them. so hope is so important. so to dorothy, so important ever working very hard and we'll reach them, we will rescue them. finally, hopefully this is the worst natural disaster that president ergo, on has faced in his 21 years in office. and he is facing election on may
6:09 pm
14th. there will be presidential and parliamentary elections. he doesn't know who he's running against. the opposition has yet to name a candidate. but 6 opposition parties have formed a coalition. and next week they plan on naming a candidate president early on has already been praised for his swift mobilization to the 10 areas cities in the south that had been declared disaster areas that are now under a state of emergency. that state of emergency is 3 month it'll go right up until the elections is a few weeks before the elections are scheduled. all of this is happening amidst a backdrop of a very poor economy. as is often in the case of syrian refugees in turkey are being targeted the far right party has been saying that they are the burden on an already fragile economy in the south. a significant portion of the country's 3600000 syrian
6:10 pm
refugees that live in the areas impacted by the earthquake. the economy has hit everyone very hard here in turkey, there is an 80 percent inflation, 9 percent interest rates rent here in the capital. have our group here in istanbul rather have tripled in the last year, so everyone is really feeling the squeeze and the economy is surely going to be something that is discussed during the election opposition. members have faulted president or tuan saying that they believe he has mismanage the economy and it is caused the, the right to do value and the economy to continue to deteriorate. president err on has actually increased interest rate, i'm sorry, decrease interest rates, right? in the hope of try to improve the economy, the other economists believe that the reverse is actually better for trying to combat inflation in any event president or to wanda says that the country is in
6:11 pm
a state of morning for the next week. all schools for this week have also been cancelled. ok. natasha will let you go for now. thank you so much of a name reporting for us. from istanbul, we're not going to speak to bennett test amir who is the un. lee is an officer for the could search and rescue association. he's joining us live from identity. it's, of course, is one of the worst affected cities in turkey. but thanks for speaking to us, your teams must be really racing against the clock to find survivors. after that earthquake and that's right. yeah. currently high in the last 24 hours, we will accumulated as a team consisting of $650.00 for personnel. we're now working across 9 sites in 5 different provinces. we pulled that over 80 people alive from the the collapse i executed a 80 people. but yeah, it's about $650.00 people and increasing little more in the coming hours. yeah. and
6:12 pm
sadly that just tool is likely to rise. isn't it as, as like yourself and like your team's fines? people under the rebel? that's right. i mean, currently the biggest challenge is that we've had 2 very unique features with this eric wake is that. c first of all, is it a very wide, your graphical region which makes the rescue efforts very challenging because transportation roses are an issue. and also, there have been a significant amount of significant after shops at the main event, which means that this is a very rare occasion, an earthquake history, where such a wide area of graph affected by hundreds and hundreds of them about the shops in the course of 24 hours and this both of these factors compounds the rescue efforts horse. yeah. and speaking of the after shock, so already vulnerable buildings have collapsed, as we've seen. are there any efforts that are being made to remove people from such
6:13 pm
dangerous areas? are there say for locations, for them to be relocated to, for example, and i don't know where you are. yes, so the national emergency bad enough already. and the purpose for the question is, of course, building up organizing areas who can meet up shelters where and can be served. and because people are told not to go back to any damage buildings under the risk of aftershocks. so this were still the 1st 72 hours after the growth wake, where the national international authorities are still racing to get to the, to the victims, which at the end of the day will be got to in due course. but it's still very early stages of disaster and, and the government, local government here and international organizations are trying to offer as much
6:14 pm
shelter to support to the people what happens after 72 hours in terms of your specific operations. so every 2 hours in the, in the window where most of the investigations or takes place by either a local emergency responders or it is only after 70 hours for statistically the national orders are able to deploy their teams to various work sites and where international teams are able to work on site effectively. this 72 hours is an average as a community over many disaster over many years. and it is actually after the 7 to hours where people will have more access to watch spread nationally international support. what about the winter weather? how was that a hampering rescue operations?
6:15 pm
course? i mean the region where it goes on in the region is renown for being rather warm and most of the year and model winters. but it just so happened at the beginning of this week. there has been coal snap that entered the country from the north was effecting almost the entire country. and this is forced to make the survivors under trouble to, to basically survive until the rescuers can reach them. and on the other hand, this has adverse effects on the rescuers themselves working in the under fries and conditions, especially through the night. and this also has an impact on the equipment that we use. so anything technical, acoustic 6 big devices that we use that run on battery power, these are all very sensitive the cold and require maintenance and recharge at, you know, more frequently than it would be in a one way to. yeah. and you know, as you speak to us a you,
6:16 pm
you can't see the live picture we're looking at, but i'll tell you what we're looking at right now. and it is the live shots from guys the on tap into where we can see the rescue teams digging under the rubble. there are clearly is some are scenery, but we've also heard reports of rescuers having to dig through the rubble with their bare hands. it can be because there's also remember that there because there's such a wide area of this going effect. sometimes it's more difficult logistical capabilities advice to reach a rescue spot on the brown. this is not necessarily true for our team across all teams. and there is of course, immense pressure rightfully for local public because their loved ones are basically in the cold, waiting on the rubble and in rescuers. want to get to the survivors as best they can. so if there is no equipment and then instead of waiting,
6:17 pm
they will go with their bare hands. ah, ah, it's just the human factor in the conditions that were operating right now. well we, i certainly appreciate all the work that's being done on the ground. thank you so much, betty. testin mirror speaking to us from i done a turkey. wow. so an international aid effort is being stepped up in knots after the turkish governments appealed for help. catera, setting up the $10000.00 mobile homes and affected areas inter kia and syria. it's also sending a 120 rescue workers, a field hospital, and humanitarian assistance. stephanie decker isn't guys and tap where aid is arriving. this report reaches us from the fields and we do apologize for the quality of the audio. this is the 3rd my from july here on tuesday, we are in the south quite close the center. but now this airport has been closed, and civilian aircraft only been like this one day,
6:18 pm
every printed out on the pos are just one of many, many countries that have joined the national effort. you can see that laid off from just been a saw that just wanted also feel today saying that the we joined board medical supplies and rounds and set up $10000.00 for people and medical team also had the infrastructure to help you. and that is why you know their address because important. so in the 1st few days, i'll start such a massive tragedy to still be able to find somebody in the family. it's very cold here. so people will say that there is a urgency, like never before again, the effort very much under way. many areas still haven't had any help. given russian rescue teams have arrived in syria to help with recovery efforts. the group of around 50 rescue experts have 3 canine teams with them, and they'll be deployed to the most heavily affected area. more than
6:19 pm
a 1700 people have been killed in syria. the health system is struggling to cope with the 1000 that have been injured or no equipment as the regional director for the middle east with mercy corps. and he says it's a challenge getting aid into syria, the situation, another phase pretty soon enough. the one in turkey last yesterday was very difficult for everybody to communications. we have a budget, so we had a hard time reaching our staff. most of them had the house damaged and of course, if it happening to a population that is lovely misplaced, and has been very difficult situations for the past 10 years, we are working with a population that has been struggling to get access to all the basic services all the supply lines are going through turkey and even the situation just across the board of the supply lines are extremely weak today, and we're just to this,
6:20 pm
we are trying to find suppliers who could manage to find ways to get food and, and equipments across the border, the main one for you mentioned it was close by the hour and we're hoping that this will we have been very soon. we immediately started to we said the areas where we already are with the $98.00 camps. but we also very aware that the chemist on that initially the most affected because the people who are living in house is extremely touched by the way. so we all know assisting another $136.00 communities in the same area. punch him our head on the officer and our including britain. metropolitan police force is accused of institutionalized sexism as a former officer and serial rapist is sentenced. we hear from the 2 block quarterbacks that to make the 3 at the super bowl this week, coming up and support
6:21 pm
a but 1st, the 3rd day of nationwide strikes against pension reforms and frances underway. these are the latest pictures of people gathering in, say this week. hundreds of thousands of people have rallied against president minor macros plans to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64, members of the national assembly met on monday to debate the bill. i faucet is joining us from paris. so what's turn out been like in paris, harry well, it's another very big turn out. the union had warned people to expect perhaps slightly fewer this tuesday because there's another big protest march plan for saturday as well. but there are 2 legs of this march through the center of paris. this is just one of them. and the numbers are substantial. again, in opposition to this proposal, i'm joined by a farmer from normandy and, you know,
6:22 pm
who's one of those out protesting today? am i know my call, it says that this has to happen, that there is a big hole in the budget because the pension system can support the kind of expenditure that it needs to maintain the current situation. so something has to change does not yes, something has to change something to go on for the 60 years old to go on pension. and not 64, we know that, you know, not of countries over the world. it can be $6567.00, but it's not the reason we have to be an ex. i'm an example for well that the pension starts at 60 years old. i mean, that might not be a reason because other countries have older pension ages, but their manual, michael says, the reason is that bronze simply can't afford this kind of pension outlay, given the fact that that population is getting ever older. yeah, we think that's wrong. well convinced that all the value we produce when we work has to go to our protection to our social protection. and that's that,
6:23 pm
that's not the way that's not the way you think. now, because it is being debated right now in the national assembly, the opposition parties are trying to stop this bill going through the president in macro and other manju out. he can, if he wants to just put it 3 by a decrease. so what happens if you don't have the power to stop that? did we had the power, the st. i'm sure a large pot of people in france on against this low. so we have to go on and to convince people to do, to go on on demonstrations that we don't, that we don't agree and the power of the streets can be, can be stronger. i mean, you are talking about other countries, some people watching from other countries where the pension age is older, might say, well, hang on 62 to 64, it's only 2 years. why is it such a big deal for the french when so many other countries just have to suck up and do it 2 years. 2 years at 62 can be
6:24 pm
a lot when you are 20 years old. you don't think about it, but when you were 40 years or you or you died, 2 years can be, can be in an infinity, can be very, very long. so it's not, you can, you cannot, you cannot sing about 2 years like no do. mom, he's very, that's very about them. i mean, is it something about the french way of life that you value in this country, the idea of having a long and healthy and enjoyable retirement? yes. maybe. maybe which is sure about our syndicate and about the syndicates here that i written. i repeat me. sorry about the attitude about it. we're proud you can be entire, you know, protection, you know, social protection, and that's not the way of thinking about the governments they, they want. they want to introduce the both of capitalization in our pensions on the and i'll start over with which that's, that's a what we don't agree. i understood. okay, thank you very much,
6:25 pm
the manual. and so that's the situation. this fight upset to continue no matter what takes place in the national assembly over the next month, but make no mistake. emanuel not call his state his 2nd term of his presidency very much on this issue. so i made you conflict, but such a continue. yeah, sounds like it. okay, thank you so much. harry faucet, reporting from paris, a former british police officer has been sentenced to at least 30 years in prison for a series of offences including rape, committed over 2 decades. david carrick admitted to the crimes all working with london metropolitan police. hundreds of officers are now being investigated. sonya go, you go, has more. they all the 1st port of call for law enforcement and prevention of crime, in the case capital with unique responsibilities and challenges. get a crisis of competence has overshadowed london, metropolitan police some 800 police officers are being investigated for
6:26 pm
sexual am, domestic abuse. revelations of criminals within its ranks, including wayne cousins who abducted raped and murdered sara, ever odd. as she was walking home nearly 2 years ago, and david carrick, who admitted to dozens of rapes and sexual offences against 12 women across 2 decades, have shaken face in the force. policing in the u. k. relies on the public's consent on trust, but that trust has been in decline over the past few years, especially when it comes to issues of violence against women and girls. and the continuing disclosure of members of the 40 been found guilty of such crimes as own exposing how deep the problem runs. reports of sexual offences and domestic abuse have increased yet. convictions are out his story. close receipts of appalling attitudes, of, of disbelief and blame the, you know, sometimes when a report to us and, and that's, that obviously causes many to pull out of,
6:27 pm
of pursuing allegations. so we're not just talking about here about police officer pub traces, which is obviously, you know, absolutely, you know, should never happen, but also talking about in it, you know, policing, which is not giving confidence. once that pajama reported to police, she had been raped and abused by her uncle. the response she says was one of disbelief when i wanted to show them fresh marks i had on my body. i said her like this is where he lost it to me. he burnt way back. i will need to know it. she said to me, how does she know he did? it? said they didn't miss he and then that was very, it was very sad me. restoring trust will be a massive undertaking. and in the wake of the carrot trial, an overhaul of the you case, entire police culture may be just one step to restoring some measure of faith in
6:28 pm
the force san diego, out a 0 london stella had on the alta 0 news. our pakistan's, former president pervis, my sheriff, is laid to rest in karachi, and this faith has captivated millions around the globe. i'm steadfast report and from amsterdam when a girl with a pearl earring as part of the law just for me a collection ever on display. coming up and sport the best of the action from the n . b, a as boston continued to fly high in the east that's coming up with german. ah, in central chile and northwest argentina. so far the sum has been characterized by excessive heat and it's still hot. and the weather is not changing very much apart

6:31 pm
a dinner and folded the paper to read to him the decision to shield the last monarch of tunisia. power and politics on a jessina. lou ah ah. stories on the al jazeera news hour of the turkish president has declared a 3 months date of emergency for the 10 provinces affected by monday's earthquakes . more than 5200 people have been killed across turkey and syria. rescue teams are searching for survivors in both countries, but freezing temperatures are complicating those efforts. and some people say they
6:32 pm
haven't received any help to find missing loved ones. international aid efforts are being stepped up docs after the turkish government appealed for health countries including katara, taiwan and pakistan are sending medical aid funding and search and rescue personnel will a port in the turkey city of iskander and has been severely damaged. the earthquakes caused docks to collapse. shipping containers caught fire and are continuing to burn the state energy company boat us has suspended gas supplies, but says it's not detected any damage to oil pipelines in the region. now the earthquakes have destroyed ancient buildings that have previously withstood wars and other disasters. the roman era castle and gaussian tap had previously been regarded as one of the best preserved buildings of its kind in the country. now, huge parts of the structure have crumbled on the 17th century mosque in mulatto was damaged as well. it's don's collapse, leaving it exposed to the winter sky. damage to critical infrastructure is making
6:33 pm
it harder to treat the thousands of people who've been injured. parts of the had tie and tackett academy hospital near the syrian border were turned to rubble. and in syria, one of the world's oldest standing castles did not escape the earthquake unscathed . al opposed, famed fortress has largely survived syria's war, but was heavily damaged in this earthquake. let's give you an idea of how many earthquakes and tremors there have been since the magnitude 7.8 quake struck early on monday morning. that one and the subsequent magnitude $7.00 quake are the dots in reads. and as you can see, there had been dozens of aftershocks since then. many of them have been magnitude for point 5 or stronger. they're all taking place within the east anatolia in size . make folds system. david rather re, is a professor planetary geosciences of the open university in the u. k. and he says it's difficult to predict how long the aftershocks will last. they will get weaker
6:34 pm
as time goes by, it's hard to tell how quickly they will die away. i would hope that by tomorrow they'll be no more off the shocks. magnitude 5 know before or lower, but it could go on for a week. certainly, if you're close to be at the center of an individual after shop, you will still feel the grandchild. of course that's going to be alarming. so the local people, we can't predict when enough quite we'll have to, we know, be of the zones level for quakes to occurring close to the play boundary folks in particular. we know well now that the south western parts of the east on the telephone as move we may be concerned about the more not based in parts of that to know based of worthy original big quite was that hasn't moved. maybe the next big fights will be that, but they could be 10 years. 50 is 100 years away. what we can do to prepare is build buildings which improperly resilience. and what's your job saying that of the damage in turkey, and some why in syria, is
6:35 pm
a 5 or 10 story apartment blocks which, which could be of quake. and every so often as one which is collapse were one of those few collapse. they should have been just as resilient as the neighboring buildings that maybe they were not built so well. we know how to build buildings which we stand seismic shaking. it costs to stay in 2025 percent more, but you can't put it the way we know of banks will reoccur in this region. it could be next year. it could be 5 years time. it could be 50 or $200.00 us time, but we should build buildings which are more resilient. moving on to other world news now, and the u. s. president will deliver his state of the union speech later on tuesday . joe biden will address congress for the 2nd time since taking office at moments of great scrutiny of his leadership. the president recently came under fire for his handling if an incursion, if a chinese balloon into the u. s. air space. he's also being investigated for a possible mishandling of classified documents. let's preview it with alan fisher.
6:36 pm
joining us from washington d. c. so what is biden going to focus on and his date of the union speech? well, obviously the big day here in washington is the president prepares for his state of the union. he's going to talk about his success as he wants to get his message over to his biggest tv audience of the year. and he's going to talk about the bills he's passed in the 1st 2 years and how that is impacted. ordinary americans is going to talk about things like the bi partisan infrastructure bill. how he's managed to cut the cost of many prescription drugs, how he's managed to put money in the pockets of those have been struggling after covered. and he will talk about how this has been done on a bipartisan basis. is also going to talk about america's leadership in the while to make the point about how the u. s. has been one of the driving forces behind supporting ukraine, around the globe. he'll also talk about a rushes ambitions in ukraine, and he's got to turn his attention to china as well after what we saw over the last week with the balloon flying over the united states. and how he sees china as
6:37 pm
a threat and how he intends to confront that threat. he's also going to talk about, as i say, working with republicans where he can, he's going to paint his policies as a responsible and reasonable is going to say that when they're opposed by republicans are looking at the idea of cotton in, in social care, across the united states like medicare and medicaid, that he's going to portray that as, as radical and dangerous. and so he makes that distinction there. so he'll walk where he can, but confront where he needs to. he will see that is important. we'll talk about the economic success as how as a job, great, a job creation has been so high over the last year. but he's also got to address the deficit to because the united states has hit the debt limit. and there are doors in congress who say they won't pass a clean bell. the republicans are talking about stepping up against that. what joe biden has got to do is left his approval rating. everyone says that he's keen to run in the next presidential election,
6:38 pm
but his moment his approval rating is below 50 percent. that has to change if he's got a chance in the next election. okay, thank you sir. sal and fisher reporting from washington d. c. let's take this on and cross over to us. they were in washington, d. c. and bring in the i'm b carter who's an associate professor in the school of public policy at the university of maryland. welcome to the al jazeera news hour just to pick up on what alan was saying, a moment ago about reelection. do you think that the president would be making his case for reelection during his speech, the state of the union speech? well, thank you for having me and the fellow i be part of what he's going to do by highlighting his wins of some of which allen just discussed is making the case for reelection. and i think he's also trying to convince those democratic voters who would be very reluctant to vote for him in 2024. it's not only to prove a rating that's low, but people are fed in recent walk in polls poll that they will be disappointed if he were reelected. so i think he has
6:39 pm
a lot of deficit going in to this speech that he's hoping to turn around by highlighting how good you've been to the american people over the last 2 years. right. ok, so he is obviously going to cover sort of what's known as the bread and butter issues, right. the, these issues that are important to americans, one of which of course is the economy. but what else do you think that he is going to focus on and what he, what do you want to hear him focus on? well, i think one of the issues that's going to come up is violence. and if you look at some of the people who will be in attendance like the family of terry nichols who was recently murdered in memphis by police, there will also be paul hello, see who the tack, his whole actor, political violence. and then there's also the gentleman from california who, who took down the shooter at the chinese new year celebration that left multiple people, dan, an injured i think that's going to also be
6:40 pm
a part of this. and he's going to have to, i think, address that kind of violence, both from the state and interpersonal bonds that we see in the country. i also think he's going to have to address the fact that he plays in while it's easy. it's still here and that people are still feeling bad at the gas pumps at the grocery stores and in a prices and things like that. i think you still want to have to address those very real hardship issues that are facing america. and also key parts of his constituency, like black voters, like working class people. he's going to have to make that case tonight. and judging by the past, you know, a lot of people say the biden sort of instinct is to call for unity. yet strike an optimistic tone at the same time, right? so it's not going to be difficult this time around in this particular state of the union address with the newly divided leadership, of course, in washington and, and let's not forget who'll be overlooking his left shoulder. and that will be the
6:41 pm
house speaker, kevin mccarthy, for sure. i mean, i think at this point the state of the union address is really just, you know, almost like watching a football game. polarization is high. i don't think that there's very much that he could say to convince those on the other side of the aisle that he is a fair dealer, that he has a good vision for this country. i mean, he's really speaking to the faithful, but it is a large audience. and so i think, you know, he's going to try to strike a town where he is demonstrating that he's the leader that he's presidential. and he has integrity without seeming to be petty and calling out for the other party. but that's again going to be a very hard thing to do because everything he does will be re, to this very part of the lens. so people that like him will say he did a great job and people who oppose him will say, well, you know, he was perhaps being unfair to the other party. so it's going to be
6:42 pm
a difficult balance then a job. i have to strike tonight. ok, we'll leave it there. thank you so much for joining us from washington and here. thank you. pakistan's former president perv as massaro, has been laid to rest. following a funeral ceremony, a convoy carrying the casket of sheriff made its way through the streets of karachi towards its final resting place at a graveyard, which are rough, died on sunday, at the age of $79.00. after a long illness, he lived in self imposed exile into buys in 2016. we started off seize power in a coup in 1999 and led the country until he was forced to resign in 2008. come a hi there. i was following the story from the capital islamic generated by re most shudder of bar day was brought to our special ed craft, along with a family member to the southern portion of karachi, the family had reached their de should be butter dead. there was a simple set in many as military area on the outskirts of your city after
