we'll try and take you inside for you if it's possible to give you a sense, it's packed inside. there are 3 holes and a lot of people that are complaining about the facilities here in the sense that you know the bathrooms, it's very complicated on all these kinds of things. so we'll just try and take you, if it works, to people who are sleeping here, it's incredibly cold. there are some aid handouts that happen, but this is, you know, this is a sense of the tragedy of what's next. and this is going to be a long term issue that needs to be fixed. and what sure if you can get a sense value. yeah. okay, let's. so we're just trying to see if the signal holds. so this is just an element of the homes of the displaced and this is, you know, we heard the turkish president data type air to i'm saying that they're doing the most, they can, a lot of people are angry. they're saying there's not enough help since these are

not only people from god's young, they've come from across the region. of course, we are around 2 hours from the epicenter and as i said, there's still a lot of off to shop constantly on a daily basis. the earth shakes and, you know, people are very, as scared to go back home. so again, shows you the massive scale. it's just a tiny snapshot of the 10s of thousands of people that are displayed. thank you so much have real sense of helplessness for everyone in the region. awesome casino joins us now from the headquarters of the disaster and emergency management authority and, and corrupt. so we've been hearing criticism about the delays in getting eyes to the people that desperately need it. what's been the hold up well, yes, done. this is was a citizens have been complaining about it since the beginning of this crisis on monday. but i mean it to kids, disaster management agency, and this is the press room, actually where we are standing upstairs. there is a,

a huge crisis room. we're all institutions are represented by working groups there . and they are working planning and a organizing the coordinating air, the process altogether under the supervision of the related ministers and the vice president fought, oak tie. there is a big work upstairs. but of course, we're talking about an area of less than a, nearly 100000 is square kilometers. and we're talking about 13 and a half 1000000 population that has been directly affected it through this earthquake in 10 different cities in is soon to care. but of course, are they respond to the crisis dead? there are problems as we have been hearing from the journalist from the n g o z and from the people on the ground that they're the 8 agencies or the rescue works have been a late to respond in some places because in for city is airports had been shut down, highways were literally cracked and there was no access,

for instance too hot i at the beginning that's why in some cities are the, the access the respond to the crisis has been lay than the human resource for rescue operation. search operations hasn't been enough despite as un secretary general. antonio titles also mentioned to kia has a solid background solid infrastructure in a crisis response and emergency in emergency interventions. this time, it wasn't enough for any one, and a people have been could sizing about that. and took, it has a scheduled election in a on made a 14, which is just a 2 and a half months away. and that's why also we are seeing more criticism against the government that has been dealing with many problems, including a huge economic, actually currency crisis within the last 2 years. this is the situation, but upstairs we are seeing that they're doing their best to deal with at this fight

. the sources are not enough. that's why international aid comes to rescue or the authorities and related bodies. in this operation in eastern anatolia, we saw a president edwin, a through some of the affected areas and meet with are those have been displaced in survivors a yesterday? what? what are we expecting from him today? ah, he's going to be visiting darcy on tap. add a. this is our, this is the largest city in is center kia air with a developed industry a with trade it and also oh, with syrian refugees. he's going to be visiting that area and getting brief a about and what's going on and what are the needs in that area for the citizens and the syrians. and in this condition, tom. okay, thank you sir. most the reserve and im, casserly for us from the disaster and emergency management authority in ankara. but more on earth,

facilities have been overwhelmed by hundreds of earthquake victims in need of treatment. while marianna and madeira let live billy and mustache for we are here in front of the sal keane hospital where the bodies of some of the victims are ready to be given to their families now. but as a glimmer of hope for some we just saw some people who had minor injuries and were released after a quick checkup. and with me now is the hospital director, doctor blazys to tell us how the staff here have been dealing with the situation was would nozzler said graham, unless the highly unclouded, much for the situation in the hospital is very critical. the whole situation is catastrophic. this morning they were more than 300 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 injured which all was 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 from for thought. i'll hold on 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 hard of florence. louis has more from kuala lumpur regarding ages aid to the areas affected by the quakes. with search efforts ongoing in earthquake hit to kia and syria countries in asia like many other countries around the world are responding to that need by deploying their search and rescue team. here in malaysia, a 2nd team of emergency personnel and track adults left on wednesday night. the 1st team had departed on monday, within 24 hours of the disaster. south korea sent

they can achieve their goals. that will make the world more dangerous on all levels. more vulnerable, begging is watching closely and learning lessons that may influence its future decisions. so what happens in europe to they could happen in asia to morrow? ukrainian officials are now pressuring the west for in particular the united states to provide the ukrainian air force with f. 16 fighter jets, the president followed amir zalinski argues this is critical to helping the ukrainian military defend their country and eventually prevail in the war. however, antony blank and said that so far the u. s. his view is that f sixteens aren't required for ukraine, but that the u. s. and other countries are committed to giving ukraine what it needs in order to win in this war. north korean leader kim jong and has hosted

a military parade in the capital pyongyang at mont to the 75th. founding anniversary of north korea's army trips rolled out the lightest hardware of kim's fast growing nuclear arsenal. rob mcbride has more as the 1st major military parade of this year. this show of hardware seems to confirm north korea and it's leader kim jong on are still embarked on the same path of weapons development that we saw from last year 2020, to witnessing an unprecedented flurry of missile activity with around 80 ballistic missiles. being launched from north korea of particular interest on this parade were some of the longer range intercontinental ballistic missile icbm, the type of weapon capable of reaching the united states at which north korea began testing again last year after a break of several years. also on display in this parade was one type of icbm which

north korea claims to be powered by solid fuel engines, or which would be a particular development, a particular advance in its missile technology. north korea is also though, been putting a lot of effort into its development of its arsenal, of sure to range ballistic missiles, which it says are capable of carrying nuclear warheads. and i'll see as a direct threat to neighbors such as south korea, south korea in return has promised a tough response working with its allies, japan, and the united states. coming after a particularly challenging period of a pandemic isolation, food shortages on top of the years of international sanctions. at parades like this are seen as being an important way for north korea to show its defiance to the outside world. and for the regime itself to show its own people that it is still very much in charge. thousands of cubans are leaving their country as the economic

situation worsens. the u. s. as a favored destination bound strict rules for migrants announced recently as making their journey dangerous. it augustine, meet to some of them. and barker cubans are leaving the country in record numbers. last year, more than a quarter of a 1000000 fled cuba hoping to get to the united states. and while mostly by plane, many others try their luck at sea. drown cruise is one of them. after spending months building a boat, last month he left with a group of friends, his 2 children, and the family dog. but he was intercepted by the u. s. coast guard and sent back. crew said he wanted to leave cuba because of the economic problems, not for political reasons. why was my, well, i'm a gun guar with you all the economy has never been good here. but since the pandemic things have gone 3 times worse, hamilton is also critical of the united states for it sanctions against the island

nation. john and his family deposit from the town of morocco or a place where more than a 1000 other cubans have tried to leave roger garcia has tried to make it to the u . s. 11 times by c. he has a tattoo for every failed attempt at our online to leah. my motors broken down before i've spent days on the high seas with a bottle of water to share between 8 people. i have seen friends of mine die leah. it's genuinely hard to find people under 40 in this town who say they don't want to leave. right now. people are secretly making boats in the houses and in the nearby woods. over the last 12 months. hundreds of rickety vessels have departed from these shores. so many that locals have given the town a nickname. terminal 3, the biden administration recently unveiled a shift in migration policy that would allow up to $30000.00 migrants per month from cuba, haiti, nicaragua, and venezuela. to enter the u. s. and be able to work legally for up to 2 years.

the u. s. embassy in havana is once again processing immigrant visas after being shuttered for 5 years. but along with the carrot, there stick in order to qualify for the program, migrants must apply in the home countries and pass a background check. but that won't stop those unable to get a visa from trying to get their lead. what's my plan right now? as soon as i get the chance i am leaving plenty more people in this town, i equally determined to keep making the perilous voyage at augustin al jazeera barrack over cuba. spain's parliament is due to vote on a controversial animal welfare law. it's designed to make the treatment of both domestic animals and wild animals and captivity, more humane. as in barb reports at this dog shelter in southern spain, they look off to greyhounds that have been abandoned often their badly injured for the people who work here at the labor of love. so you think they'd be in favor of a new law meant to strengthen animal rights. you'd be wrong. lithium dement and

recently we were hit by a big step back. suddenly there was an amendment where hunting animals, among other animals, such as what kind of movie would not be covered by this law. it's a huge step backwards because this law has really been made for the types of animals, the ones that are not even called a health level. and don't pick out a way to kind of the bills already expose divisions between the countryside and the city. when spain's ruling socialists strive to the last year, they angered many voters in rural areas, an important support base. in december, they submitted a last minute amendments excluding hunting, dogs and other animals involved in traditional rural activities. but some involved in hunting say it generates more than $5000000000.00 a year in economic activity and argue the law would still effectively legislated out of existence. a unity that boon does. that is a series of points that go against our support. for example, the obligation to sterilize on you to animals out of my dogs have been bred for 30 years, raised their grandmothers and great grandmother's house,

that dogs with an exceptional genealogy. now what are we supposed to do to them? but at the we can thousands marched in madrid's calling for the law to be toughened up. i get, you know, guess me. 6 i believe animal should not be exploited by the animals, have to be free and happy, and greyhounds and all hunting animals have to be sleeping on a set by those of the law would increase fines for animal abuse to more than $200000.00 and impose a possible 2 year jail sentence for the most serious cases. it's already opened up a debate on likely to end soon. ready, barbara al jazeera. that's all for now. the news continues here on al jazeera, after inside story up next. ah, how i we will gradually see a continuing improvement in the weather. a crust care over the next couple of days till a few showers in the forecast here. high pressure dominates the weather across much

of europe. there we go. big area, high pressure that will sink further south was squeezing that when she weather out of the way, but it will stay very cold. i'm afraid the lease is not coming. and when there is snow, as it has been recently, some lively weather up towards the north west of europe, bands of cloud of rain started to push their way in temperatures about where they should be this, that colder air cross at east side of europe and down towards the southeast that the blues, their shame, where the frosty conditions by day and by night do look set to continuously mild weather into central and western passes. we go on towards the we can we got that wet weather when she weather pushing across northern parts has gotten getting in norway g rush pushing across into west sweden. central air is generally dry, but on the cool side, we have got to some very stormy weather across central parts of the med. it's ready, some really heavy rain there and some snow. i with high ground of southern italy to was malta. more the same as we go on through friday friday, so that quiet weather across the eastern side of the mediterranean. still

a few showers clearing away from spain. lottie dry for portugal. ah, the oil companies, the biggest companies in the world had a very deep understanding of the climate crisis before the rest of us. and yet they did not tell anyone else. that's where the crimes 40 years of denying their own scientific evidence. i think that i could important them to change their business plan. this was very naive decisions that have claimed our future. it's just pure evil. i don't know what to say. the boils big lies on a jessina, syria is struggling to respond to the earthquakes disaster. but how much of that is down to politics? the regime in damascus insists that it should control aid and rescue efforts. but as it's on the international sanctions, boycotts weren't that hamper.
