8:03 pm

8:05 pm
they show no luck. this time pulling someone alive out of the rubble so long after the initial earthquake, you have to imagine not give the rescue teams a renewed sense of hope. but as the hours drop by those lucky breaks are going to be hard to come by. but many people are asking why this building collapsed when those around it didn't. all were built after 2007 resident said, that's when new laws came in, making quite proof structures mandatory law. so let's say that it hit us from wall to wall as we were leaving the building, it hit us again and the stairs. thank god we are alive. but this building had already collected on resident save the supporting pillars of a ground floor. supermarket had been removed to create more floor space after north quaking october 2020. a judge accused a supermarket chain of doing this. the prosecutor say it was impossible to prove, and the evidence was lost in the deputy. bernard smith al jazeera jennifer se in

8:07 pm
because they didn't feel right. this is what they say and all of them had some professions. they believed they could help, but the disaster management agency representatives said only people who are eligible to be able to work in the search and rescue operation will be taken into play and then go to the area as time is taking each hour. mean more people can each hour last meet. maybe more people can die on the rubble. so this is a difficult task even for the volunteers. and in the morning, a group from africa came here and they took off from a port to reach to earthquake areas. more people are trying to come here. more civilians are even willing to volunteer in the operations. now across the border in syria rescue as faith and logistical nightmare aid efforts have been held up as rebel held areas cannot be reached by situation has been made worse by years of war and isolation. none, uncle,

8:09 pm
defense members are working on their own without the specialized equipment needed to deal with a disaster of this scale. solely your me little i've been waiting for news of my father, my mother, brother, sister, and her form. i talked to them and heard the voices walking through snow frisky workers are appealing for international assistance, but the opposition controlled region is one of the hardest places to reach and 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 in cities like unpopular and ghazi and it makes it difficult for a to be brought through. the united nations says roads leading to be able, however, have been damaged or closed. it's the only crossing that can be used according to a un resolution, where the backing of russia,
8:10 pm
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 aid. 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, a catastrophe, blaming western sanctions for worsening the situation. and lots of the aeroplane cargo aeroplane refuse to land on celia and air force because of the
8:11 pm
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 that they're elisha theater. they wrote. are you an official said deliveries of critical cross border aid from 2 key to northern syria could resume on thursday. the united nations has been discussing, the humanitarian responds to the earthquakes. christian salome has more from un headquarters in your united nations was struggling to get much needed aid into the region. before the earthquake struck, the north west was hit hardest by the quake, and this is an area that is under opposition control. it's an active conflict zone and the un by international law works at the discretion of the government in the
8:12 pm
country, syria insist that all aid go through them, be delivered, cross line across the front line of this conflict through their auspices and one exception to that. however, has been authorized by the security council. one cross border point of a delivery is allowed under international law from turkey into syria, which the un can use. so the un says now with needs even greater, they were struggling to meet those needs with that one border crossing in the cross line deliveries because of complications to current priceline, they're trying to ramp up their services, but they say cross line is more difficult. here's what the regional coordinator had to say, hurting the cross line missions is something very complex, even before b, even before that quick. it needed multiple levels of coordination between different
8:13 pm
bodies, security, a humanitarian ngos. so it's not a straightforward or it's not a straightforward operation. add to that. it's a military active zone when we have to operate in a military zone. so it's not easy. we try our best. we as on most of us said yes, that you and has the, the willingness and the ability to do this. just to put it in perspective prior to the earthquake, the un had 9 cross line deliveries from within syria in the last 8 months, compared 250-2600 cross border deliveries in a month. so the, the scale is very different and the amount of ramping up that they're going to have to do to get aid into this area is considerable. in the world news ukraine's president vladimir zalinski has addressed the members of parliament in person in britain is on a visit to the u. k. his 2nd trip abroad since the side of a rush, an invasion, almost

8:16 pm
believe that rather than when the war it will need to potentially be retrievable escalation and they are worried about that. but as he continued his visit, some sign perhaps of optimism for president zalinski in a statement by the british government. richie sit at the prime minister saying he would in hon said expand training efforts of ukrainian recruits to include training pilots to be able to use what were described as nato standard planes. that is, by no means all the way to saying will give you the planes. but it is a step in that direction investigator say, there is convincing evidence. russian president vladimir putin supplied the massage system, used to shoot down a militia airlines plane in 2014 mh 17. was down over east and ukraine. 0290 people on board were killed. earlier this year, a dutch court convicted to russians and a ukrainian rebel for their roles in the crash, but investigator, see there will be no more prosecutions. russia has always denied involvement,

they can work together. the problem, of course, is that we saw last night, there are a number of republicans who simply don't want to work with a democratic president, certainly less than 2 years away from a presidential election. they don't want to give him any political wins. and we also saw that joe biden is essentially preparing for another run at the presidency . we heard them say several times. let us finish the job that is going to be a campaign slogan, and you're buy knows he's got a problem. many people don't feel the benefits of all the acts that he's passed in the last couple of years. so by using the phrase, let's finish the job. he's saying look, things will get better. it's just going to take a little bit of time and he wants to by that time. but if you look at the opinion, pause, it's an uphill struggle. he's languishing around the 40s. that's not the sort of figure that you want. if you've got an idea of running for the presidency and he needs to convince the american people he's in charge, he's in control, he can make their lives better to get that number up. shall anchors president has
