this is one of the most astounding technological revolutions in all of this room make our planner great. we have to meet the c o 2 emission targets liquid casa lated, mitchum in motion many to be mind to where people are just talking about wind and solar sake that can solve the problem. it won't. the world of business and commerce is driving energy transition is the promise of clean energy and illusion. the dark side of green energy on al jazeera. ah ah. hello, i'm rob matheson, this is the news i live from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes, mass burials in syria and hundreds of thousands of earthquake survivors in the war

torn country desperate for help. 72 hours on more dramatic rescues inter care but hopes fade are finding more survivors. amid freezing temperatures. landing a helping hand asian countries mobilize aid for the earthquake victims. ukraine's president addresses the e u parliament during an anonymous visit to europe, pressing for weapons to fight to russia's invasion and a new u. s. border plan could force more cubans to take a risky journey by sea to escape economic hardship. ah, it's 10100 hours g m t more than 80 hours since to earthquakes, and se her care. a northern syria shook the region and shocked the world. hope is

thing to fade of finding more survivors under the rubble rescues like this one are getting fewer, at least 16000 people have died and turkey. many remain on accounted for across the border in syria. more bodies are being pulled out. mass burials are taking place in a level, much of the city had already been destroyed in the countries 12 years civil war. the u. s. has sent crews that specialize in urban search operations and rescue teams and aid supplies from out of countries in pakistan have arrived in syria in syria. we have in geo partners that we funded over the years that are providing life saying, assistance to those in need across both countries. we've deployed, experienced emergency managers, hazardous materials technicians, engineers, law decisions. paramedics planners, others along with about a 170000 pounds of specialized tools and equipment. so that's been the initial response. i'm not aware of any context between the united states government and the

syrian government in recent days since the the earthquake. while we've got 3 correspondents tracking the story sent him costello's in the turkish capital. stephanie deka is in ghazi, and tap into kia near the syrian border. we're going to go to stephanie. first of all, stephanie, the hunt for survivors is going on and the rescue efforts continue. but of course, so do effort to help those who have survived. yes, i think this is going to be the main long term challenge, an issue over hundreds of thousands of people homeless. some of them, of course, they don't want to return to their home because they're still off to shocks. and people are very scared, traumatized really from the earthquake, but also so many builders building a structure unsafe. so this is really going to be the challenge. we've actually just been sort of exhibition center that is they make shift, you know,

at home for those internally displaced thousands of people there. conflicting messages, we were given some people complaining that there wasn't enough a, there was enough food, there was enough water. and then actually so one, man, he's a farmer who was bringing from his cow. so a lot of the people helping the people. and then there was also people who are telling us that everything was perfect and everything was fine. is actually interesting. we actually were intimidated to leave the location by man who kept telling us everything is great, everything is perfect. why are you here? get out of here and pretty much threatened us to leave. so very sensitive when it comes to the political situation here as well. the government, not happy with the criticism of criticism it is getting. of course it is a huge challenge to reach all these people when such a disaster strikes across a huge area when the infrastructure has been broken. but we're at the moment at the headquarters of the national disaster management agency. this is where they coordinate all the international efforts as well. we know, of course,

there are many international teams on the ground here. are setting up field hospitals helping with the search and rescue. the president of tar air join is expected to come here 3 to visit the maze of course and touring the dissolves to areas in the last 2 days. but yes, efforts underway to help the people, but i think, you know, it's fair to say with such challenges ahead, i think no effort of aid is enough. more and more is needed. certainly, if you look at how much people need, is there any indication that there is some of the aid that has been filtering in is making its way to areas like the one you're in at the moment? what got you on to i don't think it's a good example because it is a major city. you have access to major machinery. this is also the airport that a lot of the international age groups are flying into the countries that offense, their teen search and rescue. teams, medical teams, field hospitals,

so what happens they come here, it gets coordinated where we are and then they get disburse to those more difficult to get to areas, field hospitals and setup, and those more remote areas. of course, the infrastructure here is broken, rows are difficult, in terms they're actually physical, breaks the road to get to slowly. now, 4 days later, more help is arriving to some of the areas that haven't seen a single help, but they're still areas where no one has gotten to simply because it is of boston area. but even here and goes beyond that, people were telling us it isn't enough because they're homeless. you don't have this major effort to keep them warm. it's simply impossible. so anyway, but a lot of people are saying that it's not enough. so and again, like i say, the example here in god's yon tap and it is difficult, is much better than a lot of the other places. so just gives you a sense of what challenges lie ahead, stephanie decker, and as you can, thank you very much. indeed. i'm going to bring in russell soda. he's joining us live from caught him on my lashes, the epicenter of the disaster rush. so i was just talking about the fact that b,

b hunt for the survivors has been going on. but the problem is that of course, time is running out. unfortunately, we've got a few communications problems there there where sonco vessel sat on, cut him on maddox. as you can imagine, the, the issues that one can have with communications when there is so much pressure on the air waves on the, the bandwidth for communications out of areas like that is very significant. one, we can imagine it can be very difficult. let's go to send him quasi, although she's joining us now from the headquarters of the disaster and emergency management authority. in ankara, of course, stephanie decker was outside the headquarters of the local operation in gassy and tap at cinema president. se said ty about one has already promised housing and shelter and financial support. how is the government responding? hollis let me explain you from turkey, vesta management agency, we had to move to turkish foreign ministry as also there is another crisis center

here where international coordination is held besides a what is being coordinated through offered her headquarters i, which is close by here a yes, the what stephanie explained from the field is correct. nothing is enough. there is more and more needed as the earthquake, which is the greatest of it's kind of probably in the last 100 year in true kia and with a different kind as seismologists explain it. it brought a great damage or to trick is infrastructure housing and 20 re of more than 100000 square kilometers where house 13 and a half 1000000 turkish people. and of course, assyrians like in cities in ga santa and took his present place for housing as there are so many casualties. and there are so many buildings that have been damaged, and the authorities advised that before the a buildings are checked, or by structure, whether they are safe or not to get inside. no,

why should go inside so a residence of those areas. the survivors are, if they have the ability to move to somewhere else or to they relatives or what their cars, they moved out and the rest of the people who are left in those cities, it apart gradually, are carried out to a some hotel dormitories of faculties that are dedicated, allocated a for a, for the survivors. so these are the initial steps. but of course, at the post earthquake, the rescue and search ah, phase has some different levels. currently, they are focused on it to pull out more people from the rebels as still there. there are some hopes, if for some survivors, but at the present pledged at the housing will be finished in one year. whether this is possible is well known as to k. is also going through some economic problems and we are talking about a very large area that has been affected. and so many construction companies should

be involved with it. but for a monk or i can say that they are trying to do their best is since it is not enough, that's why international aid is coming in terms of human resource and in terms of a financial aid and supplies sent him for not thank you very much indeed, send him costello talking to us from ankara. we can go back to wrestle soda encounter among the lashley. f, a center of the disaster were the hunt for survivors, of course is going on. but time, as we were saying before, is running out ah, while i am on the rubble of one of the collapse building, this is just one of the hundreds in this city. and just now you can see it at the have lived in machines and did it. the vehicles are still working. rescue teams are still working here and trying to reach to those who are under the robles,

but periodically they need to stop and just listen if there is, anyways, come in from under the rivals. so they are cut in, there's a, there's iron's and trying to make their ways by digging holes adversity to below and trying to make a way to reach the people hands of people that are still under this collapse building. and it is just bought size of the buildings are, are that there are a force in both sides of the buildings on the other side. the other machines are also working. so too, did that, did several groups of the rescue teams are digging the holes from both sides and trying to reach to the rooms. and also if there are anyone that are still alive to take them out as a priority. however, since the last for to, for 24 hours, no one has came alive from under. there's a rivals. you can see that this,

this q is just going in and going and going box after blogs are cor laughs in this . it is just one of the scenes that are hands of such scenes in the cities, the proud across, across the city, and the families order for are here. and they are anxiously waiting to hear something from their mammoth and family members. i have just left one of the elderly women here and she said that her daughter in law, her son and grandchild, are still under the, is rob, another city and family. have their mother the 6 members of their family under this collapse building. so that family came to turkey in 2014. they flagged the war in i left for and try to make a new life, a safe life in the city or carmen marashi. however, disaster off the disaster for them because the earthquake has he jumped in and in

this city right after this block, there is a hotel called our front hotel and that there are tons of people under that robbers or the cold laughed or till as well, just to day in the morning, the rescue team team told me that an italian citizen who was visiting the city of carmen marsh somehow managed to communicate his wife in italy to do walks up. so right after that, the rescue teams have used their rescue dogs and those got the same out. so now they're estimating that there are 10 people in the basement of the hotel and they hope that they are alive. so now the rescue teams are trying to make their way down to the basement of the hotel and hopefully to same save them if they are still alive. so this is, this is as i said, a usual t as the, as usual theme in his city, bath is everywhere. pain is everywhere. disaster is everywhere. everywhere. so city of cod, ahmad marashi,

it was the epicenter off the 1st week. it has been hit twice in 9 hours. the 1st one was 7.8, and the 2nd one was 7.5 magnitude. and as a result, nearly a 1000 buildings have collapsed here. hundreds have died. and according to the rescue teams and the officials, at least hundreds of people are still under this rob, over by every passing minutes. the hopes are faded. we can see that sometimes from time to time, there is a tension between the families and the rescue teams here. because as i said, they if they, they see how bush, however, they are running out of the time here. even while we are standing here, we can feel the smell of the data, but it's just, just are almost an hour ago to that. but he's more have been pulled out from this robbers and through the night several are there is as while there been peak into the heart to their hospitals at 1st and then been delivered to their families and

then finally to be buried in the grave. so it is quite a dramatic, dramatic scene here. recently, i have been in the city of carmen marsh. it is regarded as a level up city in turkey. and now it's a completely a different city that i have seen. just recently. this all started bringing this up to date from the epicenter of the earthquake, carmen marsh. one ivy mean we've been saying getting assistance to syrians across the borders exceptionally challenging. let me show you this map. these are the parts hit by the quakes. some are controlled by armed rebel groups and because of that, the non concerns, the government of baldessari might not allow aid through roads have also been damaged around the bubble. hollow coursing with took care. that's the only way that help from outside can reach parts of northern city. hm. let's bring in our markoff . he's on the board of an aide organization called sr for relief and development. and he's joining us from edler. very good to have you with us. we understand,

of course it's a busy time for you and your team, so we appreciate you talking to us. can you describe to us the kind of situations that you and your teams are facing when you're trying to help people? well, thank you very much. again, most were shedding light on a plate of the syrian people. now we're point 5000000 syrians not been living in this area over 2 thirds of the mart's place. so they have been already suffering just before the earthquake took place. and now was he earthquake to have over 400 homes buildings, demolished at least 1900 confirmed dead, and over 2700 ah injured. this is a massive, a catastrophe that has never been dealt with. this is an infrastructure. let's remember. this is an infrastructure that has been destroyed systematically by

russian air force before for the last 10 years. living with, with all 1800000 syrians live in, ah, displaced camps in those regions. and now you have a 7.8 and then followed by hundreds of aftershocks. the situation is, is nothing less than a catastrophe. ah, you have, you know, city of gin datas, almost 89 percent of it has been in bravo. still getting bodies out of it. areas of hard team. you have a senior, you have some of that, a few other cities closer to the turks border and only syrian organizations are on the forefront. let us be on the record that all porters have not shut down. it has been international community that strictly wants to use only one border, which is our and refuse to use all the other open borders that we as medicare and

syrian military workers have access to and we bring items from turkey. we have work as i myself and to me yesterday. and so people can go in and out. it is just that some of the roads in the honey areas have been destroyed to to the earthquake, some of the airports and axis. but the bible, how across the remains open and all the 40s said both turkish and syria on the border have declared that no aid has come in. and this is unfortunate is only people, organizations like what elements that have been saving lives from the front lines in those areas. this is a syrian organization with high capacity that every syrian is proud of and has been helping all people across the board. and our organization has been providing meals, providing shelter,

fighting blankets. the these are people that have come out of the rebels. they need drinking water, they need toilets, they need shelter. this temperatures are almost minus 4 degrees minus 5 some times in the evening. it's a cold storm the last few days. so the situation has been extremely difficult. nevertheless, many syrian organizations like ours and the others medical visuals like psalms mothers again have responded on the front lines to create make shift shelters, warehouses to to house hundreds of families. at night. this happened at 4 30 am. so it was a shock to everybody. and, you know, providing clothing, blankets, basic drinking water, food, those are the things that people need today, at least to recover. and now could kids new choice as well?

they need things to recover psychologically socially for and several in so that we could rebuild those cities that have been destroyed. i'm a cough is from the s an organization called s. s for relief and development. so we appreciate you being with us on all of your taking the time to talk to us because as i said before, obviously this is a very busy time for you and your teams. thank you very much indeed. fornes louise has more from call them poor, on a being delivered from asia with such efforts ongoing it 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 deposited on monday, within 24 hours of the disaster. south korea sent a 118 member team, including doctors, emergency medical technicians,

and special forces trained to deal with extreme situations. the government says it's the largest ever south korean mission for emergency rescue work abroad. japan, which in 2011 was hit by a devastating earthquake into nami, dispatched to highly experienced teens, indonesia and the philippines. countries that have a lot of experience dealing with natural disasters. earthquakes, landslides have also sent an emergency and rescue personnel. and it's not just governments that are responding, civil society organizations, volunteers are rallying to help the people of to care and syria, by donating to charities and offering other forms of assistance. fennimore ahead on the news are including a proposed law meant to strengthen the animal rights in spain, is exposing divisions between the countryside and the city. plus, i'm to see a newman in santiago, chile, and what you see here is a smokeless skyline,

caused by forest fires that are moving in this direction from south central chile grains president has received a standing ovation. that is the arrival of the european parliament. even even almost sure, louisiana excuse addressing in you leaders and calling for more support. ukrainians already visited paris and london on wednesday, the new case prime minister, the french president and the german chancellor. james bayes is joining his life from inside the european parliament in brussels. what is blowing the sky saying in his speech to the e. u. well, that speech is underway now. in fact, he was introduced by the president of the european parliament, rebecca met solar. she said this was an extraordinary moment, an extraordinary times, almost a year. of course,

into the war in ukraine. the anniversary of the use of us are coming up in about 2 weeks time. presidents landscape has been thanking the european parliament and the people of europe several times. they have risen their feet during this speech standing innovation for the ukrainian president. when he said he wanted to thank the people of europe, a standing ovation from the parliamentarians for their own people on the support they've given to ukraine over the last year. he said, this is europe. these are our routes, making it clear that he believes that ukraine's home is in europe. and he said that ukraine is going to be a member of the european union and that i think he's, he's long term tomorrow. his long term request, as he visits brussels on this 3rd stage of his european tour after visiting,

visiting london and paris. but the other much more immediate demand coming from ukrainian side is for more weapons and more support of a tank issue. of course, had been a big issue in europe in recent weeks. that seems to be solved at least there's already a commitment from european countries. the objection of germany has been overcome, and german, leper to tanks, will join all the tanks that are going to go in the coming months and coming year to train. but the new demands from the ukrainians and long range missiles and also fight to jets. and that i think is, is going to be the call from presidents, let's gain public speeches like the one he's making here at the european parliament . but also in his private meetings. when he's finished speaking here, he'll be going a short distance about half a kilometer by road in his convoy to meet the european council. that's the $27.00 leaders of the european union. they're already here, they're already meeting. you'll be joining that meeting. and i think adding

a strong plead extra support, thanking them as he has done here, but urging them for extra support, particularly as there are fears from the ukranian side about what happens now. the winter is drawing to a close the fears of a new russian offensive in the coming weeks, james berries, and brussel. james, thank you. we're going to move on to a developing story out of democratic republic of congo, m $23.00 fighters. i said to be closing in the time of saki, just a few kilometers from the main city of goma. we're going to get more on this from marco web, who's joining us from goal? not markham. what more do we know about what's happening? we're on the road that connects the city goma down there with the town to saw k, which is just 10 kilo misses this way. and the road full of thousands of people who were fleeing dark in the surrounding villages, heading into the city, goma and the people we've just spoken to on the road say that the fighting has now

reached the edge of the town a saw. okay. people have fled, wondering where to go, and if i decide this way, we can take a look at them anymore. who on the road carrying whatever possessions they could grab? someone's trying to get excavator out of there as well. and 23 been advancing steadily for about the last, a slightly understood to be backed by neighboring rwanda. as far as carry rwandan equipment to denies backing the group con, goes forth, is drug. the can stage advance is 33. the rapidly growing stronger is grown in numbers on them and really rapidly increase as well. again, 23 takes the sound of saw k, which is where these people are playing from. it will have effectively surrounded the provincial capital of goma,

the city of gamer. rwanda is to the west of madison territories to the north of goma wood taken by m 23 los yeah, cutting off the main road that connects go with the area to the north, the produce food and so on. if it cuts off this road and take soccer as well, then go as effectively surrounded. welcome. thank you very much indeed for the update. that's mark web in goldman. i want to take you to augusta testing where the president of turkey arrested ty about him and has been speaking. he was expected there as our correspondence, stephanie decker told us a few moments ago. let's listen engine for the benefit then to trying to benefit from the disaster this time. so for the political purpose, but god willing to day, we will be making a decision about the low of the state of emergency for the, for the next 3 months before the impact of that as and as your president at the

moment i have made. and this is a decrease that is published in the office. you got that and it is in water for in the parliament that he acted as below full. so this is in turkey. and those people who are actually using this situation was actually trying to profit from these unfortunate situation. and either taking some advantages of distraction. david will be whole to account each and every one of them will hold the account as we have so many prosecutors, extra prosecutors are working in that area. and i also hear some supermarket out of

being looted by the people that we will have to dial. john deal with these for the low that is about to react to a state of emergency lowes and decrease. so i would like to all the members of the press and also members of turkey. apologies. hotel. consider them to be south 14th and be united and i would like to thank each and every one of you for india, for them. this will get us on my behalf for myself on behalf of the parliament and the government. so whatever the difficulty to rehab, what would come so far in being your, in my lot that in earthquakes that we have in the past and be overcome. and i am certain that these what other that ok

will be overcome as well. so i want to remind deborah with the support they had provided in the question emitter not long ago. so we are working very fast and around the clock. and soon we start to reconstruction or destroy cities. and we will hand the newly properties to those who lost their homes in this very unfortunate air disaster. thank you so much and live from gazande 7 tokyo, that was the, took his present, reserved, sire, argon who's speaking there. he's been expected to be visiting a gazillion tap as part of the year that the 2 are effectively that he's making of the and at sites around a kid that have been devastated by the 2 earthquakes that happened. beginning on monday. he said initially, when we joined him that he had made

a decision about on law of the state of emergency which may hold for the next 3 months than describe the legal process in the voting process. that, that has to go through. obviously, a state of emergency would give a specific powers and authorities to the security forces within turkey, but also widen the levels of control around the areas that have been affected by the earthquake. exactly what the details of that will be. we will have to wait and see. he also criticized people, he said, who were actually trying to profit from what he called this unfortunate situation. he said that they will be held to account. there has been a degree of criticism of the way that the government has responded in the initial stages to the earthquake. obviously the earthquake is of a very large scale which turkey has and so care has not seen for many, many years. but those criticisms have been during the runs on social media. that is something that the president has commented on over the last couple of days. he did

also mentioned that he had heard stories of a supermarket being looted. am that presumably would also be covered dealing with that would be covered by the state of emergency that he's talking about? should it go through the process and the voting process and that state of emergencies i mentioned before, would be in place for the next 3 months. let's go to bernard smith. he's joining us live now on the port city of iskander on which is close to the city and border. just add, talk us through what's happening, where you are, bernard. robert, extraordinary scenes of devastation here. his candor on. but also that still remains his little pockets of hope. this behind me here, they pulled out 3 people alive earlier on to day. and that's why the rescue operation continues so long after the initial earthquake. now they believe that

there is still a chance of finding people alive and they are finding people alive. we're talking more than what? 80 hours now after the original quake. but just to give you an indication, almost everywhere you look here, buildings have fallen down and those that haven't fallen down, i've got enormous cracks in them. i'm looking beyond the camera, depart. 14 story apartment buildings still standing but full of cracks and they will up, they will certainly have to be demolished and you can see the diggers in action pulling away the rubble. but just behind me, as i say this, this rescue operation continues. but here in this town, there really is no nothing. the drainage and sewage system is broken, the water is flooding everywhere, there is rubble everywhere. there is the risk of disease now. and really this is a town of quarter, a 1000000 people are many of them at the moment have know where to go apart from a shelters the tensor that are being put up by the government. rob burner. thank

you very much. indeed. that's bernard smith, talking to us about the situation there in the port city of the escandone on which is close to the syrian border with united nations. it says it's been assured, it's going to get access to rebel held areas of sylvia to day through the turkish border. crossing roads around it are set to be badly damaged in a natural. this also like this, the 1st 72 hours are critical and we are no pulse, dose, 72 hours. the number of cash, cash, please continue to rise as we are speaking in both countries. and there are still too many people who are on their elbows in freezing cold last patient isn't as director of a caps. it's a non profit project that provides humanitarian analysis. and he's joining us now from geneva. good to have you with us. obviously, information and details still coming in about the 2 quakes and the results of those . but in short, how does this compare to other situations that you've dealt with?

if we, for example, go back to the earthquake that had turkey in 1909, we had to at least 17000 people dying in that event. and we already know that we have around $13000.00 people, kill us in turkey, and an additional $3000.00 in, in syria. so we're talking at the end of end of the same level of severity as 1999 . and that, that's really something when you're putting together the level of information that you need in order to be able to provide an analysis of what's going on, how difficult is it to get that information when the situation is still so fluid? it, it is very difficult actually we, we, we try our best not to be precisely wrong, so to speak. so we, we start with a very basic analysis. we know there were 17000000 people living in the area. so there were 17000000 people exposed. we now think that in syria,

we're talking about 4000000 people affected up to 70000002 thirds when turkey one 3rd and syria. we don't know exactly how many people have been affected in turkey, but we had, we had trying to, we didn't build that picture as we move along. we only a couple of days into the crisis so. so we try our best to make sure that the figures we do provide the 13000 debt in turkey, the 3000 bed in, in syria. 62000 wanted in turkey alone, that, that they a solid and at least not inflated we, we known, but we know the numbers will go up. m. and i think in a sense, at this stage we, we of course do this to inform the human foreign operation that's going on on the ground, to search and rescue and, and to humanitarian operation. and of course, if you have 62000 wounded people in turkey, and you know that some of the hospitals have been damaged by the quake, then there's no way possible capacity can, can cope with that. so obviously we need to mobilize wherever we can in terms of,

of medical assistance, for example, for, for turkey. so it's, it's that sort of approach we choose when we, we try to analyze things, do it carefully, don't be precisely wrong. and then really focus on what, what are the main decisions we have to make right now while at the same time building a more and more granular picture. as we move along, i was going through the, the, the documentation that you've been able to produce so far, which is available on your website and store up a couple of the things that, that haven't really sort of occurred to people as certainly haven't raised their heads obviously the focus was on the rescue operation, as well as looking after the survivors. but you mentioned here, for example, that at least i think of 5 areas of 5 dams in the affected areas may have been cracked as a result of these are the grapes. one would imagine she has information like that, that suddenly that becomes key because of course, if anything does happen to those dams, the people living closest to them are going to be affected. exactly. and so secondary event both in terms of after quakes, or for example,

critical infrastructure such as dams being to stay affected and causing flooding is obviously also key information that we tried to look for. i. another thing we really careful to, to try to was that is quickly, are the most vulnerable groups, for example, unaccompanied miners. people on the move, the 2000000 syrian refugees we have diving in the area affected in turkey. dose groups may be more severely affected in the medium long run ben than, than other groups. and so we try to pinpoint those highly vulnerable groups to make sure we don't forget them at the end and they don't fall through the cracks. that's business and director or a cap, so we appreciate your time. thank you very much. indeed for being with us and al jazeera. thank you. let's go back to stephanie decker says johnny, his lifelong gms happens. okay. and near the syrian border where president elder one has been briefing the media about some of the relief efforts. and stephanie talk us through what he was saying. while he basically obviously,
