a full year old boy was pulled out a line. he'd fallen into a supermarket on the ground floor and said he survived, and biscuits and water the digging goes on until every now and then work stops. and a coal goes out. does anyone hear my voice? they show no luck this time. pulling some one alive out of the rubble so long after the initial earthquake, you have to imagine that gives the rescue teams a renewed sense of hope. but as the hours dragged by, those lucky brakes are going to be harder 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 shall the toilet on that. then it hit us from wall to wall as we were leaving the building. it hit us again on the stairs

turks in the south. the need they so desperately have been waiting for granted municipal building in the central district district of his danville. and as you can see behind me, there are people, curiously packing donated goods to get them on a truck and on the move to the south of turkey. it's about a half days drive from istanbul. volunteers, as i said, are intrinsic to this massive relief effort. probably the lar, in a generation or 2 here and turkey, one of those volunteers in the states were joining us. why did you want to join this efforts? unfortunately, due to fact that turkey has faced in the past, these kinds of disasters. and this is one of the biggest or 2nd biggest in the century. and we saw lots of people, retail, neither government, lower than local municipalities are able to cover this old so high. so that's
9:07 pm
needs on social media as like the rest of the people. i know i want to be here for very, from a lot of people and is stumble a feeling of helplessness as they watch the images and hear from their fellow church talking about their agony. how do you feel, knowing that you're at least able to help in some small way sitting in front of the television or radio or on social media and listening to what is going on there. trying to get news from people are just being stuck in the house already in the office. it's not you know, so i just wanted to be in here to shave both my feelings and also my label. if i can do anything else for this vehicle, it's good to be here other than to be at home. so my need is telling me that one of the things that's happening here at the center is that there are a lot of young people who are taking time off from work taking vacation or coming
9:08 pm
straight from work to here to help get into this for lease effort so far, 20 semi trucks are have been on the move to the south. now president heard a line made visits to 2 cities in the affected area today. and he is reminding those who are suffering right now. they will not be forgotten. he says, we will not leave you in the street. the government will be giving people a one time payment of about $530.00. that's a little more in a month of minimum wage. he says they will also have houses built within a year. and that there will be a massive reconstruction and housing have her mind about one of the things that we've been hearing from the volunteers here in a stumble is that there is the white people in the affected areas to know that they are here for them. there is some dirty and they want them to have and know they are not alone. natasha. go name life, or is there any stumble,
9:09 pm
turkey now across the border in syria, the situation is extremely critical. the united nation says damage, roads, lack of equipment and severe winter conditions, are hampering efforts to find survivors in syria, redhead, and fate. the response from syrian authorities has been slow, as in a harder has our report from beaver. sure, smith, which dominic healer, he laugh is 10 years old. she survived mondays, earthquake. others are still being pulled out from under the rubble of collapse, buildings across syrian cities and towns. but many didn't survive. here, hadn't been your work. i'm like, why are you listening? did a laugh, tells rescuers that her siblings and mother are dead under their destroyed house property. she little among russia in the opposition controlled northwest of syria. the civil defense members are working on their own without the specialized equipment needed to deal with the disaster of this scale. police yamil,
9:10 pm
mostly his little hello. i've been waiting for news of my father, my mother, brother, sister, and her phone. i talked to them and heard the voices walk instructional rescue 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 the country, the devastation and cities like i'm pucker and gussy and it makes it difficult for a 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 the mosque us, and it's insisting they should continue now to as it struggles with
9:11 pm
a 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, a catastrophe. blaming western sanctions for worsening the situation. a lot of the aeroplane cargo aeroplane refused to land on syria and air force because of the american and european sanctions. american and you officials insist sanctions
9:12 pm
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 they're elisha's ita they root and al jazeera, corresponding show, have holla, fantasy report from italy, province in northern syria, or marianna and madeira. let live 1000000000 was such for that. we are here in front of the south cane hospital where the bodies of some of the victims are ready to be given to their families. now where there's a glimmer of hope for summer, we just saw some people who had minor injuries and were released after a quick checkup. and with me now is the hospital director that dr. blazys to tell us how the staff here have been dealing with the situation. so the nozzler says it got him and let the highly uncle have much for what the situation in the hospital
9:13 pm
is very critical. the whole situation is catastrophic. this morning. there were more than $300.00 debts since then. they have been dozens more. i think we just received a man who'd been saved from under the rubble. and this has given us hope of finding more survivors. during the last 2 days, we also received more than 700 people who were injured, which i like during the 1st it was a disaster because we chris a lot of difficulties due to the huge number of victims in addition to the wounded who came from different towns and villages around the hospital. we are grateful for the assistance provided by so many doctors from different places. well thought out o dot hardy, good luck on victoria, and thank you dr. europe. the center of the most affected part of the border area. and we know your mission is heart. well, let's get more now on the situation in syria and speak to her kim conti, who's the head of mission for a syria at doctors without borders, m f, f, miss, and south 20. i thank you so much for joining us. this disaster,
9:14 pm
as we've seen and heard, has added another layer to the suffering of the people in northwestern syria who are ready living to a war. tell us 1st about the situation across syria in those affected areas as you, you, your teams have witnessing so we will already be operating, you know, where syria menu exhibit and not only will without the running of speech on there and also providing so medical care in it becomes now the situation is bringing an additional load on, on the especially when it comes to us. we are many be told us to provide drugs equipment to also support in human resources. so we need to get the doctors and nurses from our need to us because in the region. and we also provided our ambulance to the 1st day of
9:15 pm
the wedding with a wounded soldier, an infant wounded. and now the situation is more in grief and not local authority to all the nice shelters for the people who have been becoming homeless, meaning in the building house destroyed. so now got to find a shelter. how are you able to provide the age that you talk about to, to hospitals? when access has been so difficult in syria, what areas are you able to help and what areas are you not able to access? so we, we not only for around gender to about why we are able to. so now it's due to the fact that the 1st thing is locked in for year. it will enter 13 years in 2023. and also up to the fact that because we're
9:16 pm
not doing enough in our system with what we got, what we call a strategy of emergency rest of us plan. so we had having some drugs equipment, none of them light blanket. i didn't. kids are already available in our, in our main base. okay. we've just heard from the turkish foreign minister that to border crossings will now be open to allow aid into syria. i imagine this is welcome use for you. yeah, but i, they mention that our strategy is going to last for more than 10 years or as you add some drugs, medicaid and blanket and so inside. but now after 3 days of medical bought, especially when we are running out of michigan drops. so it will become an issue
9:17 pm
now for us and the challenge is to bring in syria additional equipment and the relief items. what makes it challenging to bring in this additional these additional items? is it a question of access, or is it a question perhaps of political interference? that with more detail now you may enter in perspective when we look at syria today, the main, the main requests are more focused on medical, a bottle of systems. but when you look to ration because we are based in turkey and gun pepsi, distribution is more. is there a bigger dimension, internal? you my internal support. i mean in turkey also than buildings are more destruction . there are more people hosted on center and outside of the main city we've been today. you know, that we've found that people are not posting in our center like that. and then that,
9:18 pm
that will some people are leaving in mosques or centers. and so, but outside of maine to, to, to people are living in the fields and turns out in double figures in double numbers are much more needs to provide to those people in jerky than syria. ok, but when it comes to syria, what would you say? right? now is what you need the most to coordinate, the best response on the ground. what type of assistance do you need? is it financial, or is it more of a political what? no, it's more on a political one to have some support in terms of bringing our support in minute i just had from abroad from euro to be sent to durham g. and from the to be directed to this is a main challenge because as i said, there are many, many, many needs begins in turkey. and the them down is in syria. and the turkish
9:19 pm
authorities are already focused on providing support inside your chief. but us as a miss staff would like to provide to boss in turkey and in syria. thank you so much. i came for talking to as i came, county is from m. s. doctors without borders joining us there from guys and tech. well, while you and officials say deliveries of critical cross border aid from tennessee to northern syria could resume on thursday. the united nations has been discussing the medicare in response to the earthquakes. having the coastline missions is something very complex, even before the, even before the f quick, it needed multiple levels of coordination between different parties, security or humanitarian angels. so it's not a straight forward, it's not a straightforward operation. add to that. it's a military active zone where we had to operate in a military zone. so it's not easy. we try our best. we as and most of i said,
9:20 pm
yes that you and has the abby and the willingness. and the ability to do this. unless bringing christian salumi his life for his son at the united nations headquarters in new york. so how is the un responding christian? well, the united nations has released $25000000.00 from its emergency response fun for the relief efforts and its dispatched disaster assessment and response teams, both to, to kia and to syria. of course, search and rescue operations are ongoing. that's the most critical pressing need. and it's particularly difficult in syria where they don't have heavy equipment and the efforts are being led by a local community based rescue teams. and the weather is horrible. but that said, there are 300 un workers already in the northwest region of syria, which is the hardest hit part of the country from this disaster,
9:21 pm
the u. n. is struggling to mobilize its crews there and get responses in on the ground. this was an issue even before the earthquake, 4600000 people are. so we're reliant on humanitarian aid even before the earthquake . and and now of course, the situation is much, much more desperate. and in getting aid in, there has been complicated as we just heard, going in across a conflict zone is requires a lot of coordination on the good news is the one security council authorized cross border point is functioning. we just learned that the road is passable. the u. n. has just learned that the road is passable and they are mobilizing to get trucks going into that route which can get directly to the communities most in need . and we also know that the world food program has already provided
9:22 pm
a lot of meals and food, some $64000.00 in refugee camps, inter kia and also in syria itself that food has been delivered. but obviously the needs are going to be very great and much more going forward. so there are intense efforts underway right now to scale up to be able to meet those needs. thank chris in thank you very much for that kristin salome life or is they at the united nations? and we'll have more in the aftermath of these earthquake center, kia and syria a little later on the news. our and also ahead will be looking at some of the days avenues, including security concerns in democratic republic of congo forces a un delegation to cancel a trip to a council, internally to space people. and for the sandy arabian team, that's one went away from making history details coming up. ah.
9:23 pm
but 1st, and american investigative journalist seymour hersh has published an article, alleging the u. s. was behind the explosions on russia's north stream gas pipelines last year, causing severe damage. last spring in alan fish, i would lie for us in washington d. c. what does this investigation say exactly, and what's been the reaction? allen from the white house was the action unequivocal from the white house that this is utter nonsense. and what the report suggests is that using the cover of nato exercise, u. s. navy divers planted explosives which were then detonated remotely. now you remember that both the swedish and the danes carried out an investigation. they said, undoubtedly there was sabotage on the pipeline. but they didn't see who was responsible . seymour house claims that he's got one source that says it was the u. s. navy. and that this wasn't a covert operation because that would have needed
9:24 pm
a congress to be informed of what had happened. but it was a highly classified operation, as i say, both the white house, the national security council, and also the c. i a or say that this is utter nonsense. but it does gather some momentum because it comes from c more hair. she is a man with a very illustrious history is won the pulitzer prize, one of the top prizes in journalism. here in the united states, he was the man who uncovered the my lai massacre in vietnam were more than 500 civilians were killed by the us army us army tried to cover that up. he was also responsible to for highlighting what happened at abu ghraib prison in iraq. but more recently, he's claimed that the u. s. lied about how they managed to track down osama bin latin. and also claimed that basher, i'll aside, was not behind the chemical attacks in northern syria in areas where there was
9:25 pm
opposition to him. so people here are suggesting that perhaps his track record more recently doesn't kind of give weight to what he's claiming about this operation on nordstrom as also speaking to one other security expert who saying, look, it wouldn't make a great deal of sense for joe biden to come into office to be the man who's talking about rebuilding international relations and working with partners and then to do something like this which could well be discovered it is running for reelection. so that makes no sense. but certainly, seymour hersh in his own column, his own blog is claiming that the u. s. was behind this and the russians are saying this has to be investigated because he more seymour hersh is no asking some serious questions about what happened to that pipeline. thank you. for that alan fish alive there in washington, dc, ukraine's president vladimir lensky has addressed the british members of parliament in person. he is on
9:26 pm
a visit to the u. k. his 2nd trip abroad since the start of russian invasion. almost a year ago, the lensky met with their prime minister wishes sooner and king charles referred his age allies to provide ukraine with modern plains to help defeat masha, which is soon that says nothing is after tape. already achieved. remarkable results, and we must make every effort to turn our achievements into their phone, details of the future, global securing security architecture, the walled, the wall needs your leadership, britain, just as it needs you. graham bravery. when the full scale amazing began we together with uber ism and united states and other allies formed it through coalition of france. john
9:27 pm
hall has more on the landscape, visits from london. really quite extraordinary scenes as president zalinski walked into the hole to address both houses of parliament rising to their feet and absolutely rapturous applause and welcome sort of a rock star. welcome. he rewarded them with the sort of rhetoric that we've become used to from president zalinski in his speech. we will always overcome evil. he said, we know freedom will when we know russia will lose. but it quickly became clear that he was here with a much deeper purpose. his purpose, not just to ask for continuing support and to remind them of the perils of waning support among ukraine's allies. but to ask for more beyond the artillery systems and the tanks that have recently been given, he wants combat aircraft. he believes that will change the tide in the war. now,
9:28 pm
among the allies, there is reticence about this request to supply aircraft because many of them believe that rather than when the war it will need to potentially be retrievable, escalation or 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, which he said that 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 we 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. investigators say there is convincing evidence russian president vladimir putin supplied the nissan system. he is to shoot down militia airline slain. in 2014 m, a. 17 was down over eastern ukraine, or 290 people on board were killed. earlier this year, a dashboard convicted 2 russians and
