4:04 pm
because they have heard some noise. us feel some live people under the rubble. so right. or they're roughly around an hour ago, 28 years old man. his name was ma'am at them in early because he has been pulled out by the rescue team alive. so of the 58 hours on the rebels. he was still alive and then he has been taken out. it was a moment of joy that the family that were waiting for him for more than 50 hours would celebrate him. that moment, however, his father is still there under the rubble. and according to the rescue team that they have talked to, they said he is also still alive and now they are trying to reach him to have access to him. and they are digging deeper and deeper to take him also hopefully
4:05 pm
alive, did that they are the smoke of the works of them the, the whole here, the good some good news that the people of the city that desperately need that last night right over there, almost at the next building of the where the 28 years old man has been just pulled out. another girl, 14 years old, her name was a pack. she has been also pulled out out of the rubble as she was alive, exhausted of their 40 hours under the rubble. she was exhausted and heard the 1st thing that was please rescue my father as well. and later, during the day, so the rescue teams here, they managed to rescue him as well to save her father also as alive, but to others. the will both were the members of the members of the family. they could not survive. so when effect was taken out, her mother also was waiting there and she just burst into the tears. it is quite
4:06 pm
yet when between to the desperation and hope here. this is the story of all the families right over there. you can see that out of the families as well. wait for that during the nights and days and anxiously waiting to hear something from their family members that are still been under b. is this robert, this robert or now? what did that just a part of? what happened in this city, there are tons of other sites seen in the city. the scale of the devastation is, is beyond imagination. right over there. you can see that through this whole row and over there, there are also the machines, the heavy lifting recalls are still working. and here a just a little bit ago, i have talked to another man. his name was mad. he told me that 3 of his family members are under. there's robles, his wife, his daughter, and his son. next to this building collapse building, you can see another one just
4:07 pm
a 2 hours ago. and the rescue team has heard and other ways to, to voices, to be actually one female and one male. and now they stop the machine's there. now they're digging from a boat to down to least to that, to was the source of that towards us. and hopefully to take down also out alive. so as i said, that scale of destruction is quite immense in, in, in this city. and just in the city of carmen mirage there more than $900.00 buildings collapse. and more than 600 people died. and as of no, steve causes are mis. so today president one has visited the city as caught among much was the abbey center of the earthquake. it has been hit twice in 9 hours. the 1st one was 7.8. and the 2nd one which came just 9 hours later was $7.00 magnitude
4:08 pm
. so added one prisoner, one has listed as a 10th city, which was set up by the authorities. i was author the quick kid to city and he promised help financial aid, housing, reconstruction, and so on. however, i can say that the situation here is quite dramatic and celtic, and the rescue teams are struggling because the level of disruption is so much widespread. and the lack of electricity, food, water is still an issue that is making the life of people extremely difficult on the top of that, particularly during the nate, the nighttime, the extreme cold weather is also another factor. that is the rate in the life here . that's all. thank you very much indeed. does wrestle out bringing us up to date for count them on us. we're going to go now to stephanie decker. she's joining us live from gosh, on separate talking that's near the syrian border. and the rest of it was just talking to say about how the thinking was going on. and they were pausing because they could hear voices underneath the rubber. i can see obviously the work similar
4:09 pm
to that going on behind. you just tell us what's been happening. yes, wrong. less of a hopeful day here. everything we've witnessed or dead bodies being pulled from under the rubble in 2 locations. we've been to this apartment block has around 80, people buried underneath it. so they were sometime they do for silence. but certainly the feeling here is maybe, but you can see them at the top there, the moving items and you can see among the debris, bedding there's been a chair i to a child dole earlier. really the fragments of the lives that are last year. and depending continues in the way we had to off to shocks here throughout the day. 4.5 people panic, the buildings alongside this area shook. and this is one of the concerns here as well is these buildings that do remain standing?
4:10 pm
they're all empty. of course is that they're afraid that they are going to collapse some of the security people actually want to demolish some of the buildings because they cause such an issue. so it's all gone silent now. what they do sometimes with this is because they've heard a voice, but we were told the rescue workers here as well that those voices, they had heard any sound since last night. just briefly rob. we also earlier saw body being pulled from here and we were reporting live actually, and it turned out the body and the shriek, the painful shrieks of this woman we heard, well, actually ended up being the body of a small young girl that was reducing the robbery those shrieks he heard was of her mother. so, you know, and this is just the tragic tragic reality of those thousands and thousands of people are big numbers that keep, increasingly we talk about is very, very personal in personal stories. i think sometimes get lost when we talk of these math numbers. it is a devastated region and devastated people. definitely thank you very much indeed
4:11 pm
that stephanie decker talking to us from jesse and tim. well, not too far from gazande lies sion. norfolk bernard smith has more than the rescue operations there. a very, very small piece of good news. romans generally offer to day a 4 year old boy was pulled alive from the rubble of this apartment building behind me in the early hours of wednesday morning. some 47 hours after that building collapsed. very sadly, his mother's body has been recovered and they're still looking for the body of his father. but you'll notice that all around this one collapsed building. all the other buildings are still standing. new regulations came into force in turkey after 2007, making sure that buildings were earthquake, safe on all of these buildings, locals, tell us we're built after 2007. that includes the building that has collapsed. but what's the difference is with the building that is collapsed we're told is there
4:12 pm
was a supermarket underneath. and it was been a common practice for supermarkets to expand the space in the cellar area to remove the pillars of the building. this was a practice discovered from a previous earthquake, some 2 and a half years ago where many of the buildings that collapsed shops in the basement of the building had removed, supporting pillars to give them more space. and people here say this was the case with this building, and that's why it's the only one that collapsed, where every one else is around it all the other buildings around it, a still standing listen boz, the entry point for bulk of international help coming in to talk here from there. here's jim costello. according to office on figures, there are more than 5000 of foreign rescue workers who are on the ground right now . working in port the nation with a turkish rescue team. and there are 100000 turkish personnel on the ground,
4:13 pm
including more than 7000 turkish troops who are trying to search and rescue all those civilians traps on their those rubble. and of course, the donations are continuing is the civilians are turkish citizens. regular citizens are trying to do their best by donating to over to agencies through 30 shreds. kristen and other related bodies, or every municipality, every local governors office. they are organizing some a distribution and in coordination with the main authorities. and i saw that a coordinated well coordinates of a supply medical supply of supply can reach to the region, hits by the 7.8, magnitude earthquake on monday. we're talking about 10 city is affected wider earthquake, which means is 13 and a half 1000000 turkish people as citizens who are affected by this earthquake. this
4:14 pm
is a big task. this is a difficult task for the turkish authorities to be able to enough and reach out why themselves. that's why international aid is coming. stories are some astonishing, rescues are coming in a 3 year old boy was found alive and cut them on the rush. the epicenter, the disaster of fun was pulled from beneath trouble. after being trapped for nearly 2 days, the lens has damaged roads, a lack of equipment and tough winter conditions. humphrey efforts to find survivors in syria. rescue and relief efforts have been criticized as inadequate. and hundreds of buildings have collapsed in a hot reports from beirut. sure, it's may. i get a laugh is 10 years old. she survived monday's earthquake. others are still being pulled out from under the rubble of collapse, buildings across syrian cities and towns. but many didn't survive, had done viola was maintained. a laugh tells rescuers that her siblings and mother
4:15 pm
are dead under. they're destroyed. how funny. she was in the opposition controlled northwest of syria. the civil defense members are working on their own without the specialized equipment needed to deal with a disaster of the scale. the mean mostly has been. i've been waiting for news of my father, my mother, brother, sister, and her phone. i talked to them and had the voices. work is too slow. rescue workers are appealing for international assistance, but the opposition controlled region is one of the hardest places to reach in syria . it's been blockaded by government forces and their allies during the course of the war, and the only lifeline has been help sent over crossings from their kia through what is now also the worst hit part of that country. the devastation and cities like
4:16 pm
tucker and ghazi, and it makes it difficult for 8 to be brought through. the united nations says roads leading to be able, how us have been damaged or closed. it's the only crossing that can be used according to a un resolution. with the backing of russia, the syrian government has ensured all aid goes through damascus and its insisting they should continue now to as it struggles with the disaster. but critic say they don't trust serious authorities. i don't think any of the syrians refuse or mind or reject that the assad regina receive a it's just that we know for sure. he is never, never going to give the people that are in need any kind of aid. while some friendly countries have been sending a directly to damascus, much of the international community is avoiding dealing with a government sanctioned for war crimes against its own people. long accused of using aid as a weapon of war. it's now seen as politicizing,
4:17 pm
a catastrophe. blaming western sanctions for worsening the situation. a lot of the aeroplane cargo aeroplane refused to land on syrian air force because of the american and european sanctions. american and you officials insist sanctions don't affect humanitarian aid and say it will continue to be provided in all parts of syria, but not through the regime. they say most of the damage has been in the opposition controlled north, where some aid has started to trickle in. but rescue or say, it's not enough. then there elisha zita, they wrote hot, is un regional cube monetary coordinate of assyria. he's genius now from amman, vega to have you with a so on al jazeera at z incentives report, they were, were just hearing that. and the western countries were saying the aid would continue to be provided. but it would not be funneled through the government in damascus. in practical terms,
4:18 pm
how much aid is likely to get to the people who need it most in northern syria. thank you for having me on, on your show. and to start with. this is really a devastating situation. i mean, we thought when it could not get much worse for the city and people, now we have this, this, this f quick celia, even before this, it suffered from so much devastation and suffering. the people there are 990 percent of the syrians are below poverty line in it live alone. more than 4000000 people are totally dependent on humanitarian assistance. and now with this destruction definitely than that does, the humanitarian assistance is, is much more needed. we're working with all parties were working with all with member states with everybody can make sure that the humanitarian work continues. not just continue at the same level, but increases because of the needs that are that are increasing people that wait for the hell. they honestly don't care from which direction it comes. it's just we want to make sure that it, that we are,
4:19 pm
each that we in the humanitarian world. it angels, the united nations agencies and other dead humanitarian workers. want to make sure that we reach the people and we totally deep politicize the humanitarian work for us. oh, our main objective is to make sure that none is left without support and without health. and we would like to use or with his crossbow, that cross line. anything that is that is possible within our means to reach the people. and how possible is that though, given the fact that that the very basha alongside government has a history of withholding aid. it because it is fighting by that describes them rebel armed fighters and in syria. and it doesn't want to give them any help. how a again, in practical terms, how much aid can people actually expect to get when the lines of access are actually seemingly very limited? well, we have some cross line missions that went from the government control area toilet, but we mainly depend on cross border operations. and as a and as was and as it was reported earlier, and the that old from a,
4:20 pm
from gassy into to, to the board that has been damaged today. we had good news that the, that the road now is accessible. we're hoping to be able to put as you our cross border activities as soon as possible. and we looked, was decorative routes, which were not feasible a yesterday. so with the good news we have today, i mean the old is badly damaged. it's not, it's not in its best condition, but it's in a condition that would allow us to resume the cross border operation. so between the cross border cross line, we're hoping to be able to, to go back to our human at 2 hour. not just that the level we were operating at that at a higher level if, when we have situations like this in the past, people around the world come together very often collect am old clothes items that they have from home and make donations to, to agencies thinking that that is the kind of thing that will help what is better to provide stuff like that or to provide money. you know that
4:21 pm
we are in the air. we are at an early stage of crisis information and data still not, not, not very clear. but at this, at this time, usually we need all type of assistance i, we started receiving some in kind in kind assistance. we are also of course we need financial financial support, but we also believe need a lot of political support at usually in cases like this. the 1st thing that is needed needed is, is the rescue is search and rescue. then of course, and we're talking about weather conditions that are extreme here. people are stranded in the streets or without shelter, without proper clothing, without without blankets though those are the nissan on top of that, of course is the lack of food. people probably lost all of their belongings, losses, and me, which it makes, makes it difficult for them to, to, to survive. you know, when you lose all your a coping mechanism mechanism when you're already at a very difficult condition,
4:22 pm
that's really leave it very hot and very difficult. i just want all your viewers to remember that the women and the children, the elderly, how, what they are going through and specially school decided this says, no storm that we are having. and nowadays in the region mahonnan hardy, we appreciate you being with us on our desire and giving us that the benefit of your expertise in this. thank you very much indeed your time. thank you, sir. any more hadn't the news i, including jobs are coming back. pride is coming back still by this comparative state of the union address. we're going to be live in the u. s . capital to know more about how americans are reacting to it. better medicine for tough times relying his leader asks people to tolerate more pain as he tries to turn around the economy. and in sports, the saudi arabian team, that's one, went away from making history details coming up.
4:23 pm
ah, experience president, blowing me zalinski is addressing the british members of parliament in person is on a visit to the u. k. his 2nd trip abroad. since the start of the russian invasion, almost a year ago, britain is one of ukraine's biggest military backers. well, john, how's lion joining us live now from london? i understand that he's been speaking briefly to the prime minister richie soon. i can, i believe he is now currently speaking to members of parliament or what have we heard in terms of the prime minister and what has he been saying to the rest of the parliament? yes, we did have a brief meeting with square premise to richie su knock, but in the last half hour or so he has begun his address. he is still speaking now to both houses of parliament inside westminster hall, that ancient building within the parliamentary estate. behind me, it's the sort of sac team for
4:24 pm
a speech normally reserved for really the most influential state visitors of the sign very much of the esteem with which the parliament, the parliamentary political establishment here holds prime minister president for the low to mid zalinski. and he walked into westminster hall to really the most rapturous applause lengthy standing ovation. you could hear shouting as well, screaming, cheering, almost a rock star reset for president zelinski. as he talked to the po did, he said he'd come here to thank in person to produce people for their steadfast support of ukraine since the beginning of the war. and so he did hailing a coalition of friends. he thanked britain in really the most heartfelt terms special mention for boris johnson, who he said had been so quick to react and showed the rest of the world health to react. and then a launcher to his sort of stirring trademark rhetoric around reminding ukraine's
4:25 pm
partners, ukraine's western allies and donors of the importance of continuing their support and, and indeed the importance of waning support in terms of are making the difference between victory or defeat. we will always come out on top. he said of evil. that is the core. ready of our values and of yours. we know freedom will when we know russia will lose a change. he said that the world has long needed. i understand the britons being sent weapons and equipment worth about. i think it's $2500000000.00 so far to ukraine, but there is another significance of this visit as well as encouraging the u. k. to carry on doing that. it is of course, just ahead of the anniversary of the war in ukraine. it's a hugely important moment, of course, the anniversary, just over 2 weeks away, ukraine will have been at war with russia for almost a year now. and it is,
4:26 pm
of course, a hugely significant moment for president zalinski and he will seize it. he's nothing if not an opportunist in that regard to refocus the international light among ukraine's donors and allies on the war effort and indeed to re focus their attention on the support that his country most needs at he is on this visit. it's a rare departure from ukraine, of course, for the president in person here in the u. k. we don't know details of his ongoing itinerary beyond this country, but it is thought possible that he may turn up in brussels on thursday and do a similar sort of exercise with e u. leaders in the parliament there. later on from here, he will go on to meet the king at buckingham palace and then he'll meet ukrainian troops endorse it in the south, west of the country who are being trained by u. k. forces under a multinational program, trying to equip and make battle ready thousands of ukrainian troops. and it is likely if he hasn't already, that he will issue a further call,
4:27 pm
a call not just for renewed support, but a call for more support. beyond the sort of air defense is not hillary that we've seen beyond the training that is being received on the ground beyond the tanks indeed that have been offered now the ukrainians want to fighter jets, which are the allies to be very reluctant to give but one important note to make is that richey soon, that content downing street issued a statement. they said they'd be talking to him about strengthening their training on the ground here of ukrainian troops. and they've been in to be including in that training at getting pilots ready to fly nato's standard planes. a hint there if not an open acknowledgement that the british government knows that at some point they will end up supplying glands. turner, thank you very much. indeed, john hall talking to us in london, investigator se, there's convincing evidence that the russian president vladimir putin supplied the missiles system used to shoot down on malaysia airlines plane in 2014 m
4:28 pm
h. 17 was down over eastern ukraine, all 298 people on board were killed. earlier this year, the dutch court convicted 2 russians and a ukrainian rebel for their roles in the crash. but investigators see there will be no more prosecutions. russia, as always denied involvement during his state of the union address you as president joe biden, zoe's congress to work with him, with republicans now in control of the house of representatives. biden's called for unity, and is taking credit for an improving economy. our white house correspondent, kimberly hoggard reports with his approval rating still among some of the lowest of his presidency. joe biden delivered his 2nd state of the union address, and despite still soaring, high inflation, fighting declared backbone, his nation, strong, millions tuned in to watch biden,
4:29 pm
who used to speech to highlight what he sees as his successes of the past 2 years. not employment rate is a 3.4 percent of 50 year, low air record on a foreigner, for black and hispanic workers. we've already created your help, a 100000 good pay manufacturing jobs, the factors gross and for a year. but this state of the union was different from biden's last, this time the democratic president spoke to a divided congress as he made the case for raising america's debt ceiling and protecting social programs from spending cuts. he was challenged by republican lawmakers, armies car was driving o, one, grimes and these by the criticism might and sought to bridge washington political divide, turning to his opponents and use in the speech to negotiate with them directly, a stand up for seniors. oh. by then also honored
4:30 pm
terry nichols, the 29 year old man beaten by memphis police officers. as nichols, mother and stepfather looked on biting, urged congress to invest more in police training. something good must come from this codifying women's rights to an abortion was another priority. make no mistake about congress passes, a national band. i will veto it, will by his speech focus mainly on domestic policy. once again, underscored america's support for ukraine. following the downing of a chinese spy blue. after across the united states, he issued this warning. as we made clear, la squeak of china threatens our sovereignty. we will act to protect our country. and we did, but republicans had their own rebuttal from out of control inflation and violent cry to the dangerous border crisis and threat from china biden. and the democrats have failed, he, president abiding,
4:31 pm
used his address to reflected his accomplishments and lay out his agenda for another term. and office is been widely reported. the biden senior aides preparing for the president to announce his re election bid. sometime later this month. kimberly help hit al jazeera capitol hill. officials joining us live from washington dc. alan prays for the speeches you might expect, although republicans are not happy. so what happens now? well, joe biden goes to sell it dead to the american public. there were millions to and then oh, and i had on tuesday night to watch this speech, but now he's going to wisconsin to day to talk about employment and what he's done to lower the unemployment rate in the united states and then he's going to tampa in florida and thursday to talk about infrastructure. he's aware that many people across the united states are not feeling the effects of the laws that joe biden has
4:32 pm
passed in the 1st 2 years in office. so what he wants to do is to make sure that they're aware that changes are coming in. that's why we had the message. let us finish the job several times throughout the speech. that's all say him testing the message for as kimberly was saying, a potential run again for the presidency and 2024, explaining to people that look, we've done this, but there's a lot more we can do. i'm, we need help from congress to do it. now we also saw just how split washington can be with many parts of his speech being interrupted with marjorie taylor greens shouting liar. at one point in the back in 2009 at republican congressman shouted at barack obama, you lie. and that caused a huge for your re, people saying that that was a breach of protocol. it was not the sort of thing you should see in congress when it seems as if marjorie taylor green's outburst. and there were several of them just seemed to have gone at kevin mccarthy. the speaker of the house tried to shoot
4:33 pm
republicans, but didn't do that successfully. joe biden knows that by going to the public in the state of the union and no visiting wisconsin and tampa. he needs to lift his opinion, poll ratings at the moment, the languishing in the forty's, and the reality is no one has been re elected. if they're not at least 50 percent. so he's got a bit of work to do to convince america that the what he's doing is heading in the right direction. alan fisher in washington d. c. allen. thank you. time for the weather is kara. hello there. it's a largely settled picture for much of south asia. we are going to see things change thanks to disturbance moving its way across afghanistan, bringing some heavy rain possible thunderstorms and some snow to northern areas of pakistan and india. we have got some warnings out for those thunderstorms with possible lightning across northern areas of india. but for new delhi, the skies remain clear. however, the air quality remains unhealthy. we could see that change as some stronger winds
