correspondence tracking. this story, sim, costello's and the turkish capital. russel souther is in common mulash at the center of the disaster. stephanie decker is in jam tab in turkey, near the city. and what we're going to stephanie 1st talk, talk to us 1st of all about the visit that the president of our to kia, made earlier on to day and talk. and he talked more about the efforts that the government was making to help people. yes he visited, dug as young to have as part of her 2 days it. he's been visiting the most affected areas where he addressed the people saying that so money would be given to the families and that he committed to rebuilding god's yon tap for in a year. i think you know that these are massive challenges ahead. almost a 1000 buildings collapsed here, over 10000 people injured, a 1100 killed. and those were the figures given by the president as he addressed

the people. it is a, it's a massive challenge moving forward. he also briefly was gonna come here where at the headquarters of the national disaster management agency, this is where they are coordinating all the international teams that have arrived here. the last couple of days label been sent to different, more difficult to access areas, if you will, to help with those rescue recovery mission, setting up medical facilities, field hospitals, bringing in equipment dogs in an effort to in these you know, crucial days to find any remaining survivors, i can tell you a good story to at here in garcia this morning from one of the buildings we were covering yesterday around 80 people under the rubble there. we only saw dead bodies being pulled out yesterday. but this morning, early 3 people pulled out alive, 4 days later, stuck under the rubble under incredibly freezing conditions. it's, it's incredible to imagine how that, how they survived. but i mean something that gives a lot of hope, certainly to those still waiting for thousands of thousands of thousands of people

still waiting for news of their loved ones. stephanie, thank you very much. and he that stephanie deca bringing his up to date from our guys in tab, where the president of the kia has been paying a visit earlier on today. and as stephanie was saying was giving more details about some of the work that the government is attempting to do in order to, to help people. but he also, of course, mentioned that there is a 3 month emergency situation that has been called for the country, which will give, of course, security forces extra powers, but will also give extra powers to the people who are helping to try to find a survivors under the rubble receptor roberto and has also called for unity. i do, malcolm. i would like to ask all due met members of the press and also members of turkey. our apologies were auto target is m to o be supportive and be united and there i would like to tank each and every one of

you form in the shade for them. yes, would i go on? my behalf, one for myself, on behalf of the 30 parliament and the government instead of casias joining us now in the headquarters of the disaster and emergency management authority which are in ankara, sent him the president had promised housing and shelter and financial support for people who been affected, how is the government responding while the government says it is working and who is it at the crisis center in the disaster management agency building today, the main center where everything is planned, coordinated and allocated it, it was a big a crisis center. and there are working groups are presented by every and ministry, and those groups are trying to coordinate between the needs and the suppliers. and also, besides that, international aid is pouring as well. and that is coordinated by the turkish foreign ministry. but still, since the scale of the earthquake is

a very large and in number of people, which is there on 3rd, we are talking about 13 point half of 13500000 people are living in that area. since the directly affected pupils number is hi, this is a difficult task. a. currently, there are 100000 a workers rescue teams on the ground as further disaster management agency. and they are doing their best to handle the rescue operation. but of course, at the 1st 7 to 2 hours, it is very important. this is what we have been saying since the 1st day of the earthquake. but now we are coming in to the end of these in 3 days, 4 days period. but still there hopes that some people can be alive under those roles, so they are trying to do their best and more rescue workers. and more aids and supplies are coming from abroad as well. a we are told by the foreign minister of more than 90 countries, offered their help. it's a turkey and a more than $55.00 countries are currently on the ground. a with more than a 6000

a rescue team workers and this number for the foreign rescue workers is probably going to rise to 8000 a very soon. but still we're talking about a big geography. we're talking about a big number of pupil and, and the pledge by a turkish president to complete that a housing projects in the area within one year. and he pledges for that a. but of course, this is also a difficult task, but probably because we will see many people are moving to other cities and what we are told is a temporary shelters. are the emergency needs right now that's why it present. our don was talking about the containers, a for those survivors to be able to stay. it will be accommodated in the area. but of course, these are temporary solutions and finishing those housing projects. in one you requires investment requires and money, and the air trickier has been going through a tough economic process, especially because of the depreciated turkish lira and an upcoming election time

will tell of course, how these will be managed, but the hope so high and the intentions are good latin se 7 costello talking to us from the headquarters of disaster and emergency management authority which are in anchorage and am. thank you very much. indeed. we're going to go to wrestle saddle, who's and cut him on mulash, which was at the center of the disaster. they, the hunt for survivors goes on, of course, but time is running out. absolutely. we are now in front of a collapse building. this is just one of the hundreds in this city. so nearly a $1000.00 building, how cool left. he had a hundreds of people or that right behind me. you can see that there, there, there, that they haven't lived in machines and that the vehicles are still digging into the robles am trying to reach to their, the bodies there. so in the last 24 hours, unfortunately, no one has been taken out of good robles that you can see alive. but we have seen

several dozens of people that the bodies were just coming out. and when they were taken out the dead bodies, they were covered in them with the, with the blankets and trying to, to, to, to, to, to, to make, at least to families comfortable. because that disturbing the images were very much offsetting for the families that have been waiting here for almost more than 80 hours by now. so you have seen also several bodies that were taken out from the bubble that the bra both were burned because the fire also is still continuing. and the rescue teams haven't been able to, may have been been able to manage to, to distinguish that as well. so you can see that the other buildings that are standing around are heavily damaged, very much cracked. so did the rescue teams. he needs to be extraordinarily meticulously careful there. but still, as i sat there, but time by time,

periodically, the work here is stop in because the rescue team needs to listen the robles and they are asking everybody to be, to be quite, if there is any worse and a sound that comes from under the under the robbers, rugged behind this blocked, there was a hotel and the hotel is also completely level down. and by to, by the morning to day that the end italian citizen apparently send out a message to his wife in italy. and so did the rescue team bes on that? they, they, they got the that the rescue dogs and the rescued dogs also have got the same madeleine. so they think that around 10 people are still at the basement of the hotel and now they are digging the halls, trying to reach down below and hopefully to take that 10 people out alive. but as the time is passing, it has been no more than over 80 hours as the time is passing, the hopes or so here are fade in. the families are also join in these rescue air

force to they. i was just speaking to one of the elderly ladies, installed me, that her daughter in law, her son and her grandchild is still under the bubbles and also another cd and family was here. they came from the city of atlanta and they said that, ah, 6 members of their families were living in this building, which was 8 story building and day. and now they're also under the bubble. they have that the robin's so they have a flat the war in 2014 from a level and they came to the city to make a new life, a safer life, hopefully. but did the disaster off the disaster so they did their, the earthquake has hid them here. so also the government here has set up a tan city. our been just there and was talking to the people they were tell they were complaining about the lack of the coordination or that the chord nation is purely organized. there was a make shift hospital debt, and the nurse there was quite nervous and she said that, you know,

they are getting to madison's from the collapse, collapse the pharmacies. so here i can say that the debt, the disaster, the pain is everywhere and the hopes are fading by every passing minutes. russell santa, in carmel, marashi russell. thank you very much indeed a, let's bring in a fight the ball john. he's the secretary general of this other courtesy international charity. he's joining us from a hanley in the province of hattie, which shows one of the provinces which has been very badly hit by the earthquake. so thank you very much. indeed for being with us on al jazeera, we appreciate this is a very difficult time and a busy time for you and your teams and tell me what your teams are going through on the ground at the moment to try to help people. oh i machine was a good day. a nice day. is it okay? we are it, does it?

no. well, unfortunately, we appear to have lost all the sudden that there are signal to hattie, as you can imagine, of course, as i said, you know, the signals are coming from that area of turkey are under a tremendous amount of stress, because a lot of people are using a lot of them are being used by the emergency services and also a local people to try to work out who is where the people are lost and so on. there's a lot of pressure on the bandwidth. so trying to get signals in and out of that region can be very difficult. but in the meantime, foreign st. louis is in college. poor for us is she's telling us more on aid been delivered from asia with search efforts, ongoing it as quick hit to key 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 cent 118 member team,

affected by the earthquake, they themselves must also have been affected by this must be very difficult for the people who are part of your organization. me yes, yes, yes. the 1st 30 days when i came here in almost 2 hours, i put them in my sent my cell is really bad. now at all search and rescue continue this morning. my child was alive from the rubble in in the village. interesting. this morning. father john, we appreciate your being with us and all does it particularly because of course, this is a very difficult and busy time for you and your team. thank you very much indeed.

dr. russia's father melissa's meeting leaders of saddam said love rove held talks with sudanese father mercer ali alice ibp ali. earlier he was in molly and mortar tenea mosque was trying to strengthen ties with non western nations and light of sanctions over the ukraine wall. will heber morgan's joining us now from hot tomb. why was should done part of this tour huber what we've been seeing, growing ties between sedan and russia over the past few years, with russia expressing interest and finding a memorandum of understanding with sedans, previous transitional government, to bills and naval base along it's our eastern coast as well as a, it's in it's designed to invest. now we heard from b, a foreign minister, sir, gallop, rav earlier saying that he had agreed in talks with the deputy head of the sovereignty council. as well as the head of the sovereignty council. and army chief general abdel, said that and were hon to improve relations between the countries,

but also to invest in trade and in the economy sector. but that has been criticized by many, unless and many watch groups saying that russia is not in it for sedans, enters, but rather for its own interest, especially with a sudan being rich in that gold. and that's russia is helping to dance, muddle that gold. so it is benefiting more than the country. so while they have discussed issues of again, trade and bilateral relations, saying that they want to improve it. there has been a lot of criticism with regards to russia answered anglo and growing closer to each other. herbert, thank you very much. indeed. there's her morgan talking to us from cartoon. well, saga lover of his soothing africa for the 2nd time and 10 days to try to ease diplomatic isolation since the invasion of ukraine. just as the hippo was saying, they began with a 2 day trip to molly, but he promised to help to improve the west african nations military capabilities. the government there has been fighting armed groups since 2012. next stop was more

latanaya. we're love rog, all sorts would support to the government in the fight against armed rebel groups. the me to train in is a member of the russia fallen and defense policy council is joining us by skype from moscow. thank you very much indeed sir, for being with us. they did the emphasis that is being placed at least from those of us on the outside to this meeting there. but this truer by saga lover of appears to be that it is miller treat related his offing military support to the countries that he is going to see. is it just down to military support and advice or is there more to it than that? but they're certainly much more to that and military support to a security assistance. i think that russia has been since it is very much interested in the collaboration and a number of economic fields, various but minerals and other things. the soviet union used to have a very wide range in contact in africa. and i think that there's

a for the 1st time since the end of the soviet union, there is an appreciation in moscow that africa has been neglected for far too long . that he deserves so much more attention from moscow that he has been getting. and it's so it's russell's competitive advantage is that the russian foreign policy is crying to promote one of them. and so my security assistance. but then there are other things there. as i said, there are some economic projects. there are some educational projects there. thousands of african students were a study in russia, and this number can expand it to, you know, to much higher levels that we, we saw a lot of them in the days of the soviet union. so it, so it's, it's really a very wide menu and you mentioned that that the impression was that the,

the region had been, it had been ignored by moscow for too long. and the decision had been made to change that. what was it that triggered that decision? there has been speculation that there was an element of a power vacuum that had been created in the region because of a retraction of foreign policy in a change of foreign policy by the u. s. and by other western governments. well, i think that the main reason is that the earthquake, that the essentially destroyed russian relations with europe and with the why the west. so russia has essentially very little to do. and we'll have fairly little to do in the future where the traditional main partners in europe, north america, and at the same time, in this situation of what the russians call hybrid war

between the west and russia. it is the countries of asia and middle east africa and latin america that are considered to be rushing most important and may be the only resource in terms of foreign policy partnerships and for the economy to relations. belatedly, the foreign ministry has been doubling down on those contents. i want to ask you about the presence of the wagner group, the group in, from russia, that is, has been paying on a large role in african countries. certainly for the last couple of years or so, there is a lot of dispute over how effective the wagner group, the presence of the wagner group is both on the ground in various countries. but also in terms of diplomacy, when it comes to russia, relations with these countries, is the wagner group more of a help or

a hindrance to moscow when it comes to visits like this? well, i think that if you're talking about countries such as the central african republic, molly, i think that the leadership appreciates the presence of the wagner group and it is more of an asset for russia for in policy. other countries that may, may have different for and policy i in addition, may see that differently the african continent is composed of dozens of countries with very different interests and very different foreign policies. so i think that moscow is seeking to tailor policies in various countries to the needs and perceptions of those countries that she might hear how it should be.

we appreciate you being with us and just said to me to turn in. thank you very much indeed for your time. you're welcome. thank you. it's time for the weather is kara . hello there. bitter cold conditions have been felt across essential parts of asia . but for south asia, so largely settled picture very warm across central parts of india, temperatures here sitting in the early to mid thirty's logic. here as we had further south, just a few showers pulling into sri lanka. but we are going to see things turn much wet as well as wintry. of course, northern areas of pakistan and india. we have got from thunderstorm warning out in the very north could see lightning to as a wesley disturbance pulled its weight for the east way from a gonna stand where it knocked temperatures down and bought some wintry weather. instead, that will be moving its way further. east and into the mountainous region, some wet and wintry weather as well, possibly affecting the pool as well as baton. now was he moved to east asia? it's a story of more winter weather for japan. you can see that blast moving its way further

reach syria and on particularly northwest syria through all modalities. and we're going to be ramping up our cross border assistance as today is just the beginning of it. we already have preposition items in the northwest, syria, and right now we're getting all the stops and we're going to bring in is mila dollar. he is a volunteer at the syrians, civil defense known as the white helmets. and he's joining us from the ad libbed cities, so thank you very much indeed for giving us your time. we know that you are very busy at the moment. we have been talking earlier wrong about the condition of the rescue. our efforts in took here where they have digging equipment and they have some sort of support to be able to help people. how different is it where you are? started a dispatch from turkey because we don't have any enough i q. but we have simple, primitive we haven't received any aids or support from anyone.

the situation is just getting course that time bass and re we are running out of time. what is it we losing lives as i'm talking to you, that the early age, almost 2000, this and number of injured about 3000 and half, a started a different from the target for the here we have situation is more worse. people screaming, we were hearing voices from hon and we are in the time and this voice is going to disappear. we're going to lose everyone beneath that all. if you don't have the equipment that the rescue teams and took care have, how are you and your colleagues attempting to get people from out from underneath the level as you the so as you watch,

it will be us that the in the, the few days, the 3 days our by our house room is a primitive tools, a symbol tools that we have our limited capability. we were so we were able to save many civilians, many civilians alive and we would continue as the at the takes. ready to we are risk course we going to risk to everyone. we're not going to achieve bodies. we would do our peers. we would not to stop even we didn't receive if we would not receive any and or any support from any side. let me ask you about that because we are getting reports, the truck trucks carrying aid from the u. n. i believe, have no answer about the hala crossing along the turkish border, which of course we'll then bring that age into northern syria. does that give you any hope or optimism that you are going to get at least some help

this convoy? it belonged to the end of the program. or there need a convoy schedules to intercede before the or it's not about there. there are people are needed. they need in dire need of this. this doesn't come the way. so it's a different totally different and that wouldn't. this is not support for that. got the stuff that we are missing. yeah, it made me like give us some support, but that's, that's a boat that we needed that not that that we ask it for we asked for 2 days and reported that we talked with it when we talked a lot with many different part is that we need support from the spare platform,

what vehicle there's the discover acumen medical supplies for hospitals and doctors come in to see that with that obstacle. you know, we, we ask in from the very beginning to help us and this is luck with no one. and this conflict doesn't look to be the best we we ask it is not a delta is a volunteer at the serial setting in the civil defense known as the white comments . and so we appreciate you being with us, and i'll just say that thank you very much. ukraine's president received a standing ovation at the european parliament in an address and not as it has been st in you leaders for their support and the war against russia. zalinski said ukraine is not only fighting for its own survival, but for the survival of europe. yeah, goose him stood. obama go green, is he cuba?

i think all of you who helped ukraine with important supplies, weapons, ammunition, equipment, and fuel. thousands of items without which we wouldn't be able to endure this total war. emma, i thank you. ladies and gentlemen. on north korea has showcased as intercontinental ballistic missiles during a massive military parade event. martin, the 75th finding anniversary of the country's army troops rolled out the latest hardware of crimson owns fast growing nuclear arsenal. rock more bright as more from sol and south korea. as the 1st major military parade of this year. this show of hardware seems to confirm north career and its 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 missiles or 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 career is also though, been putting a lot of effort into its development of its arsenal, of, or to range ballistic missiles, which it says are capable of carrying nuclear warheads and our seizures. the direct threats 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 pandemic isolation,

they angered many voters in rural areas, an important support base. in december, they submitted a last minute amendment excluding hunting dogs and other animals involved in traditional rural activities. but some involved in hunting st generates more than $5000000.00 a year and economic activity and argue the law would still effectively legislature out of existence. city the boon doors, that is a series of points that go against our sport. 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? we came thousands, marched in madrid, calling for the law to be tough and up, going to get i believe animal should not be exploited. my animals have to be free and happy, and greyhounds and all hunting and have to be sleeping on a certified those of the law would increase fines for animal abuse, to more than $200000.00 and impose

control of european football is being threatened by proposal from a 20 to sports management, which in 2021 tried to launch a 12 team competition, including some of europe's biggest teams. they failed on that occasion that following fans protests that with fif n, u f are also blocking the move by league. i have already condemned the new plan which is understood to have the backing of rail madrid, barcelona, and juventus. so what will, than you version of the super league look like? well, these are the things they've and now, so far on 822 chief executive, it says it will contain up to 80 teams. it also announced that it will be a multi division competition. and that each team would have a key scooting matches every season. they would be no permanent members. he also added that they'll be limits on players salaries and transfer linked to football related revenue. or john is now from london, is the athletics at senior football, a writer, raphael hung his thin white felt should we be surprised by this new plan?

well, this plan clearly says to us that the supanik has a rethink that it's gone away from the city of exclusivity, just around the few clubs that are self appointed, that can never be excluded. i will always be in the competition to basically doing what you a for doing now and just calling it a different name. you a for right now have 3 different european competitions where you have to qualify through your own performances in a domestic leaks. it runs concurrently to domestic leaks and it has about 10 games that can be up to 17. so not to different. want this new. you a revised to pull, it looks like the details are still life and on the ground, but it's the clear attempt to broaden their supporter base from a handful of drops to lots of different european clubs. but what i've seen so far doesn't suggest to me that it's particularly attractive. what will they need for

this plan to go ahead or to succeed? well, money is always a good argument, and for boy, you have to convince not just a handful of clubs, but up to 80, the 80 that i. and this is to be in this new competition that, that they somehow would make more money than the under the existing regime. would you a further, somehow they would manage things better, generate more interest, make these competitions more interesting, more exciting. but somewhere along the lines, i think the it doesn't quite at up because they are saying in this new proposal, which is as i said, very fin on detail that the existing domestic leaks will not be impacted at the same time. they're promising a minimum amount of 14 games for any of these teams involved. there would amount to a lot of games at a time when there's already a big concern about the amount of pressure and exertion that's being directed at players is already at a very limit to add. now another few more games for

a still they undefined reward. sounds yeah, sounds a little bit hopeful, i must say at this point, which is why i think this is not really gonna move the needle much in terms of the public support for this venture. why follow st protests in the past? because of this plan? how wide u. f and p for should be not, they weren't at all at the moment. and the plan, even in this current form doesn't have a significant support. it is, as you said, in your intro, supported by 3 clubs, effectively, the primitive clubs have no interest to enter a new competition or would somehow under mine, the dominance in europe over clubs. for example, in germany, a very cautious they don't want to do anything to jeopardize the existing domestic competition. they also don't want to be seen as breaking away from you a from fever. so at the moment, even this new proposal, which is supposed to broaden the scope and get everyone involved and united,

it doesn't seem to offer anything that is big enough to risk these clubs to break away from the existing order. so i'm very skeptical, very doubtful that this is go anywhere apart from a p, i exercise ok, athletic senior football, right? our fail hung stain. thank you very much for that. in the english premier league man to say night drop point as a look to mount an unlikely charge for the premier league title a came from behind to draw 2 or 2 against a leaf the match. so the return of jayden santo, who came off the bench to rescue appoint for his team. his 1st game at since october united the are now stood, 7 points behind the leader arsenal, who played 2 games last year with
