is hattie, near the syrian border. apartment block off the apartment block has collapsed. it will pick these weeks even months to find all the victims. and without heavy lifting machinery there is level residence can do to help of muscle of color as global as music, as words sticking to my throat crying is no longer a remedy. we expect professional help. we expect to see a professional job. we are not professional. as you see, we are diving in the rubble completely blind susanna my shudder in ga santa rescuers court for complete silence. they are listening for any sign of survivors. some of those trapped how left voice messages calling for help below the tangled matal and concrete international rescue teams are arriving

here. german and turkish teams pool a 66 year old to safety. the fall off their favorite enrollment corvette. when home did go out, we couldn't use heavy equipment because the rebel was so unstable and we were afraid that the entire building could collapse. it really required manual word. we had to remove piece by piece of possible. and that work continues into the night. as families shelter out in this city was the abbey center of the earthquake that affected over 13000000 people, inter kia, nearly a 1000 buildings have collapsed here. there are times of people on their vis. rabo, some of them still alive, waiting to be rescued. rezo said that i'll just euro carman marsh, that several dramatic rescues have been reported as survivors are pulled from the

rubble in hat a turkey or teams say they found a young syrian refugee boy who was trapped. they managed to pull him out of the wreck, actually 45 hours after the major quakes, rescues or working against the time in harsh winter conditions to dig survives out of the debris from those collapsed buildings. and people in the small syrian town of generis, next to the turkish border, discovered a crying infant. her mother apparently gave birth to her while buried in the rubble of a 5 story building. the newborn was found with her umbilical cord still connected to a mother who has since died. the baby was the only member of her family to survive . sure, stephanie jack and i, he's in got in touch with more on the rescue efforts. as the sun rises that so let's up all rest stuff for those. trying to find survivors risk. if it ready continues where you are. yes, we're outside an apartment building that collapsed fatty. it can show you. we can't

get any closer because a lot of the buildings around this area actually damaged around 80. people are relieved to still be under the rubble, whether they're alive or not. obviously, you know, there is incredible hope to still be able to find people as you were just mentioning . there are people still being pulled out of the rubble. we just spoke to some of the residents, more sleeping and government provided areas. but they're now here, one girl, she couldn't even speech are wrapped in a blanket and her relatives are saying that she, they still have mother, father, her brother, buried underneath. the rebels are hopeful that they still might be able to find people a lot of rescue work as you can see them now. further down there have gone up into the building. i can also tell you it is bitterly cold. you can see these gentlemen also who are residents of the building, warming themselves by and make sure fires about minus 5 for hail. so it just gives

you an indication of just how difficult it is for those under the rubble. this is a make shift, hadn't set up for the residents who are coming in to see the people arriving carrying family just hoping to get some of some, some good news to be able to hopefully still find. but i can tell you, yesterday we arrived on a miniature age flight from atlanta airport. we saw our british teams are live with rescue dogs. they told us that they were desperate to really get going get to the ground and hopeful that they could still find survivors. there was a co, 80 team that were unloading heavy vehicles, or the guitar is good. good

morning to you and to your viewers on yes indeed the, these tuition as a very dire i was just following the sigma before i came back on the air. and unlike her turkey, international aid is not coming to syria at all. and the situation here is handled is being handled by a, the government. but as we know, the government capacity is very limited in terms of fir askew teams in terms of for a quick equipments at the ministry of health reported as of yesterday or close to 1000 people or who lost their life for 1500. injured and still many people are under minimum and the government has very little capacity. i think it's so very important to keep in mind that this tuition and syria, even before the earthquake was extremely dire,

was talking about 90 percent of the population living under the poverty line. and 9 out of syrians cannot to ready think where their next meal is coming from. so this tuition here is very dire and in terms of it as much information as i want to jump in there because that's the situation as, as you, as you put it for us in terms of the aid efforts that ox i'm, is able to help with where it, where are your team, or where are your representatives focusing their efforts in the earthquake area? are they, are there teams there? and can you tell us in any shape or form what type of help they are being able to give those in the quake affected areas? our themes are on the ground and a poor city and also a node or an era's which is the 2 areas that are badly impacted. her and the governor, it needs that are really needs to be addressed to very quickly people need to have

access to clean drinking water, food, shelter, the supplies are very limited, people are in the street and this sir, really are called the weather. very limited numbers of fir shelters that have her open for people to get some shelter. and so i think we are on the or of course not on the, on, on other imagine an actors. but as i said, the supplies are very limited. and donors are yet have not mobilized of funding for matter and actors working in their lives on other parts of syria were government her and government controlled area. so we appealed for more funding, immediately, new funding to be able to really address the situation and these impacted areas with us or the, the, the issue for coordinating and trying to get

a aide from the capital damascus, as you say, in a country that's been dealing with civil war, it's very difficult. we know that ox, i'm. is it a neutral arbiter? you're not going to talk politics, but can you tell us how difficult it is to coordinate whatever aid normally does come in and get it to areas that require it? that was even before the earthquake, how much more difficult to how difficult has it become and impacted because of the quake. i mean, in general, access as it is not a very easy and very smooth, but i was also on another matter and act as we have been able to have access to the communities and deliver our up our program and in the context of for the earthquake we have been received as a material no response facilitation by the government to get the impacted the areas and fortune distillation as that now physically, we do have access. but in terms of our capacity to respond, the capacity is very limited because of the limited,

the support that we have received so far as matessa with us at the pod, me ox funds, syria, country director, thanks for joining us from damascus. thank you. thank you. good. now thousands of people across turkey or have joined aid efforts to help ease the plight of earthquake survivors. they set up collections for food, warm clothing, and put out a call for volunteers to help with on the ground efforts, natasha going to and visited a collection point in a stumble. no, the piece has been unrelenting. at this emergency distribution center in is stumble . these volunteers, no time is of the essence for their suffering. fellow turks, like i have to be sure i could feel through the whole like what's like, what's new tv? i just need to read to her. there is unity resolve and an understanding that this humanitarian effort will take on historic proportions. it will also be

costly. president irwin has allocated more than $5000000000.00 to help the country recover from what could emerge to be the worst natural disaster in 2 generations. our prayers are with them or hopes or with them. so we're working with the volunteers with all our sins and that he's not people of them will never lead us down. with the solidarity president, irwin has declared a one week period of national warning. and schools have been closed, have canada could be learn on one, missouri. the current situation requires us to take extraordinary measures. we did, there are 10 provinces bird earthquake took place as disaster. jones. we decided to declare a state of emergency so that the search and rescue activities and all subsequent works can be carried out rapidly. the seat of emergency will end shortly before the

presidential and parliamentary elections scheduled on may 14th inflation and turkey . a is 80 percent and critic say. government policy is exacerbating the country's economic woes. the earthquake zone in southern tortilla is home to a significant syrian refugee population. right wing parties are calling them a burden on an already overtaxed economy in the ruins of home. and amid the morning of loved ones. last, there is no distinction between citizen or refugee, just a human being in need of immediate help and compassion natasha her name al jazeera is stumble and medium. well, still add here on al jazeera, we'll take a closer look at the cost of living crisis in the u. k. and how it's impacting on children. ah

coastal areas of libya. the wind also dominates the countries like guinea as well as nigeria, the wet or whether we have to head further south. however, some heavy falls to come particular across the south, east area, southern areas of mozambique as well as madagascar with some pretty ferocious fund storms, effecting eastern areas of south africa. and creeping into the suit you. by the time we get to thursday. that sure weather update. ah, how do control installation? moscow is one of the keys in the world. it has an incredible facial recognition technology. how does the narrative improve public opinion? no wonder how is citizen journalism. we're bringing the video spread like wildfire. they do know super bowl in ukraine. the listening post dissects the media

. we don't cover the news over the way the news is cover. lou. ah, what about you're watching out there with me. so robin in day hall, reminder of all top stories, tens of thousands of search and rescue personnel are working into kia and syria to free survivors trapped under rubble. after monday's earthquakes, at least 8200 people have been killed across both countries and thousands more. are injured. series foreign minister has european countries to send his country 8 after the earthquake despite western sanctions. aid organizations say a humanitarian crisis is emerging in a country already struggling after 12 years of civil war. the us

present, joe biden has given his 2nd state of the union address to congress, not came as he faces one of the worst approval ratings for a president in a 2nd year of his term in the speech. biden, call for unity and said the country remains unbroken in the wake of the cove at 19 pandemic. he stressed the positives on the economy and the strength of american democracy. 2 years ago the economy is really, i stand here to night after we've created with the help of many people in this room, 12000000 new jobs, more jobs graded 2 years, and he presses crated it for years. because if you are in 2 years ago, democracy face is great, is threatened, civil war today though, bruised, our democracy remains on bout and on broken lo, whitehouse corresponding kimberly help, it tells more from capitol hill. the president seemed exceptionally confident in

this speech. it was heavy on the domestic, pretty light on the foreign policy. this time around president was really making a case almost this was a de facto pitch to the american public for another 4 years in the white house. the president use this as an opportunity to tout his successes, but he sees in the past couple of years, namely that he believes that he's achieved some historic low unemployment rates. in fact, the numbers do show that the lowest unemployment rate and a half century that the president is still challenged with high adam lation. and so he certainly is making a prescription. and he made that case in his speech of how he believes he can come back that. but certainly one of the sort of strongest moments for the president came and some of the things that he's promised to do for americans, particularly when it comes to combating gun violence in the united states. the

president said that he would work very hard to do something that he did as a u. s. senator, and that is he called on congress to ban assault weapons in the united states. really confront gun violence in the united states. so that was something that seemed very important to the president and also the other big, important issue for the president that he brought up in his speech was the issue of abortion.

203040 percent of that tinkle sanity's been shaved off in taxes. so what they're saying back to look at a, one of the signs it said no to corruption or no, i didn't think a lease is ah, taking taxes out of the salaries are, must be stop. i mean, basically they say, yeah, it has to be fair. so dave will of protest that gradient noun actions in reaction to the president's parliamentary address and policy speech. and people aren't convinced that the government has got things right now. thanks very much for that

will. of course, sir johnny through the days we get more detail of what he has to say and off of that as a force in columbus operations for a major parade. i believe to be underway in north korea to monk, the founding of its army 75 years ago. phil young usually chooses significant anniversaries to show off its latest weaponry and send it to find message to the rest of the world. oh, but by reports not from sole satellite images appear to confirm rehearsals have been taking place for a major set peace parade. young ang is used to such events. and the next is expected to be held after an unprecedented series of about 80 ballistic missile launches. in 2022 leader kim jong and seems as determined as ever to develop longer range inter continental missiles while also acquiring an arsenal of shorter range tactical weapons that threaten his neighbors,

including south korea. and they want to show the work. of course, the korea u. s that at their a tactical nuclear culpability is real and it can operate in any situation. and the increased threat has led the us to renew assurances to south korea that it will use its nuclear umbrella to protect the country. but it's also raise the question of where the soul itself should become nuclear armed amid the escalating tensions north korea has stopped short of conducting another nuclear test that was widely anticipated throughout 2022. that it seems, would have been a provocation to far, especially for powerful neighbor, china, shortages of food and other goods made worse by self imposed isolation. through the pandemic means north career is more reliant than ever on chinese 8 county or

radical ball. the only way for north korea to all come to pandemic with and it's currently crisis, is to get more support from china. so for kim's young, on the thread of 7 nuclear tests is very important. leverage that he can use some google grotto in december, north korea, flu, drones into south korea, leading to speculation. the north could conduct other types of attacks in the coming year to undermine the south. there's a, a whole lot of cds of publication. no credit can do, including the cyber peg fan either. you know, the cognitive will peer to, you know, shaken the korean, probably north korea seemingly intent on another year of defiant military posturing and the south preparing to deal with the consequences. rob mcbride, al jazeera years old, and i, you know, the u. k is all of the world's richest economies,

but billions of children growing up in poverty. the growing cost of living crisis has left british families and hardship, researches be trade, union congress. they won in full households with children experience food insecurity, despite their parents or a single parent working full time. the park reports not from liverpool in the north west of the country. life in liverpool, amidst the biggest fall in living standards on record. these full time working mothers share their stories, cost of living crisis. what would that mean to you? it's not that nightmare. it's ridiculous, especially when you where you're striving to do better. and as i said, i'm work myself. i do was, i was come with the kids or school because i couldn't even afford ciocca before the current cost of living crisis worsened by bricks in the panoramic and war in ukraine. many people would just about managing. but soaring inflation, energy costs, food prices and waystack nation,

have left working people. really. this is what it means to live in poverty trap. for me is just i struggle constantly you choosing between yourself said like gas that check again today. if i didn't lock that month, the punch can to staff, according to new research by the charity action for children, almost 2000000 children in the u. k. could be trapped in poverty and hardship because at least one parent faces a barrier to working or taking on extra work. as some 440000 children are in poverty despite at least one parent working full time of that number, a quarter of a 1000000 are in poverty, despite living in a household with 2 parents, where both are in full time employment. like all traps, the more people are forced to struggle holding down multiple lo paid jobs. 247. or perhaps they can't work because they're full time care is. the more painful the more challenging life becomes. and charities argue that the best way out of this

trap is to provide more money for children in need and to lift the current cap on social benefit. what we need the government to do is say we acknowledge that people face barriers to taking on additional work and we need to try and break down those barriers sometimes that might be higher pay. sometimes it might be supporting people in to work where they are able, but sometimes it saying we acknowledge you can work as much as you as much as you're able, as much as a would take to fix, to lift you out of poverty. and we need adequate social security benefits. the international monetary fun predicts the u. k. will be the only advanced economy of the world to contract this year. recession is on the horizon, and the government's response is a new era of financial austerity and public spending cuts. the more people need help, the less is seemingly on offer and for these working mothers, the governments message, the work always pays seems a little more than a myth. with the japanese i should be able to afford and enjoy a good life for at the minute we're now he,
