stephanie decker as she joins us from. i guess the on tip and to kia and dirt state . how is the rescue operation going near 3 days on? is there still any hope of finding any one to live in the rubble while hope is the one thing that relatives clicking on to when it comes to finding people. but yes, certainly the rescue workers we've spoken to and what we've witnessed this morning is that it is more of a recovery operation. at the moment. there are 80 people around 80, people believe to be still under the rubble of that building. we went to another building earlier, much smaller, a 3 people remained there, but we saw one body being pulled out. there were some voices they heard, but they went silent as of last night. so relatives were, they are sobbing particularly when the body was pulled out of what was a father. his daughter was there, inconsolable there, their heart breaking scenes here. you can see people have gathered here. some of

them are residence, waiting, as you say, clinging on to hope of some of those miraculous stories that we've been reporting on of a baby and some people that have been pulled out from under the rubble off to 3 days. it is also incredibly cold. here which also makes it very difficult to survive. people would have been asleep at 4 17 in the morning in their beds in pajamas. i can tell you that we're in a hotel. i slept in 3 layers last night because the windows are broken. so it's a sense of the cold and so it's, it's unfathomable, really, to understand how people can survive in these below 0 conditions trapped under the rubble. but of course, hope it's something that people are clinging on to. there's a massive international rescue operation really centered here. in gauzy on top, we saw many teams arriving last night. you had the categories, the kuwaitis bringing medical equipment, taking vehicles off the plains. the british arrived with the rescue dogs though one of the leaders telling me that they just wanted to to get on get to those more

difficult to reach places. watson israeli team arrived that is setting up a, a field hospital because again, and got the on to a lot of the city still stands. and it's easy. this is why you see this massive infrastructure to get here there. so many areas in this region that are remote where the highways we've been trying to think where we can go next. places are very difficult to reach because roads simply cracked massively. and these are the people in the areas that are desperate, where they're simply trying to remove rubble with their hat. so it remains an incredibly difficult situation. i think, yes, we're expecting those numbers to rise. in fact, some people saying, expecting them to rise by the thousands. absolutely desperate and dia saints. thank you so much. that is tiffany ticket for us and cassie on tip. we're going to go now to some casino lou, who joins us from inside a sample if all were aid is pouring in from several parts of the world. admits one thing to get aids, to assemble,

but it's quite another to get it to the worst affected regions as we heard a step up there talking about how many regions still cut off. how is progress going? well tom, yes, say international aid, 1st come stay. some lay afford to where we are and then they are transferred to the earthquake areas. it is difficult to reach out to some places where the a 4 star shot sound like does down to a, a mom or as these are the cities that have been hit severely a by monday mornings earthquake, and right behind the you see a crowd. these are the volunteer people who would like to join to outside disaster management agency. you can reach to the quick area to help and civilians out there. there was a more crowded group actually less than 15 minutes ago. some of them didn't have any experience. they just wanted to come here and join the rescue groups because

they didn't feel all right. this is what they say and all of them had some profession. they believe they could help. but the disaster management agency, a representative said only people who are eligible to be able to work in the search and rescue operations will be taken into play and, and broke to the area as time is taking each hour means it more people can die each hour last me more people can die on the rubble. so this is a difficult task, even for the volunteer. and in the morning, a group from africa came here and they took off from a stumble, a port to reach to earthquake. it's areas and more people are trying to come here. more civilians are even willing to volunteer in the operation. but everybody is racing with time right now tom, we're also hearing the president. it wants to to visit the worst affected areas today. yes,

we are hearing from the presidential office that he will be 1st going to cochrane. mom or the epa center of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake. and then after with the thing car, her mom are actually the center. he will be going to where the earthquake happened for the 1st in call her mom and then his according to the schedule he will be having to. hawkeye hotels is the city and for where we couldn't hear for one and a half days because the city it was, it was totally disconnected from the other areas and no rescue workers were able to reach her as a port was shut down and the main highway that's come next high and gone down to was told to the correct as. so if any, just explain minutes they golf. so our dog will be paying a visit to conway, his condolences to his citizens. and also we know that from the turkish defense

minister, now turkish troops are on the ground at the $7500.00 military personnel are also helping in the rescue work and more battalions are being dispatched to the area. tom. okay, thank you so much. and then castelli for us, it's temple in port open at smith isn't shanley off and took care. he sent this report much as he wasn't affected by the white patches. what building fell down of this one? what happened to the building behind the no, actually small bit of good news from here. they old oil boy out of the rubble from here in the middle of the night for 7 hours after the building collapse. sadly, also boys, mother's body was recovered and his father is still buried in somewhere 6. all these have been recovered up with 4 year old boy found alive. i was particularly interesting is how play all around as

a building to the founding. and yet this will building a whole and down, so you're lucky. so why? now in 2007, i've been strict regulations about building safety so that we are able to withstand earthquakes. all of these buildings were told around were built up to 2007. but the difference with the one with collapse local was telling us is that there was a supermarket in the basin. and when they make, when they expand the supermarket, they cut down the pillars, supporting pillars of the building. and that is why they think this building on down with a present a colleague joins us now in the car. can you just explain to some of the, with the conditions that are the search and rescue teams are facing as well as the survivors? these dia, weather conditions haven't helped the search and rescue teams. but there is some good news is and be more favorable conditions, at least in terms of that wind to weather that sort of pushed away. now we did have some snow overnight, india car,

but things have improved temperature still. however, sitting exceptionally low to this time of the year, but as you can see, those conditions partly cloudy, so at least the skies have cleared it is a dryer, but still exceptionally cold. and it's, as we go into, might that we see those temperatures dip exceptionally low. if you have a look there. still, some wintry weather lingering around eastern areas of turkey. that's thanks to an area of low pressure in the black sea for syria looking much clearer. those skies but still it's that cold that poses a problem. pulling down further south, you can see the dark blue showing the lower temperatures there. we have a look at deborah car. however, it is an improving picture. certainly clear skies by saturday, but that might the temperature still posing a problem, going on into thursday, much clearer if you wintery flurries here and there somewhere to weather, but why a skies across northern parts of syria. if we have a look at aleppo minus 2 on thursday night, an improving picture by day here. certainly sunshine on sunday,

but look at that mike temperature minus 3. that's not going to be good news for the many that have been left homeless by this disaster. okay, thanks so much for the update that is currently for us. well, there are stories of miraculous rescues coming in a 3 year old boy was found alive and carry. mom rush, the if a center of the disaster or of can was pulled from beneath rubble. after being trapped for nearly 2 days in neighboring syria. people in the jan doris found a new born baby alive. her mother apparently gave birth while she was buried under the rubble of a 5 story building. the newborn was found with her umbilical cord still connected to her parent. who has since dies. ah, what elements rescue work is as i pull bounce of either the dribble held it live province. people there were already struggling after years of war. rescue and relief efforts are being criticized as an adequate and hundreds of buildings have collapsed across syria. more than 2300 people of died, the u. n says damaged roads,
