i, the green energy on al jazeera 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 thought that i could important them to change their business plan. this was very naive of decisions that have plagued our future. it's just pure evil. i don't know what to say. big oil's big lies on i'm just gonna ah my vega, i'm a mass barrels in turkey in syria as the death toll from monday's twin. earthquake surpasses. 19 regular 8 supplies. finally, crossing to syria's rebel held areas, but the un says it needs

7:02 pm
a lot more resources. why i want to say it is the 1st response after this earthquake. the convoy consists of 6 trucks loaded with sanitary materials, blankets, and other items that will be delivered to one of the organizations that operates in the liberated area of an organization. that is a partner of the when, in order to be delivered to our people need in those areas. but it's ex president has been visiting effect areas rest type. edwin has called to unity. have to be criticized for his government's response to the disaster. a rescue is like this one that getting fewer in tech and more than 16000 people died, many remain on the counter. i didn't how much would like to ask all the members of the press and also members of turkey. apologies or to tell them to be south 14th and be united. and i would like to
7:03 pm
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. i was sitting casale joins is now from the turkish capital of anchor and tell us more about how the government responded. nick, the government says they are doing their best to deal with the situation. but of course this was an unexpected scale of an earthquake. yes. an earthquake was expected because there was another earthquake in the region, similar to these fault lines in eliza 2 to 2 and a half years ago. and experts have been wanting to get about this to take a cautions, a measures against this. but a, as in this earthquake hit 10 cities simultaneously and twice in a day with a magnitude of about 7.5. this,
7:04 pm
the scale of they are impact or was unexpected. so how the government is dealing with the situation is what everybody is curious about than we were at the crisis center, intricate disaster management agency in ankara today and a turkish foreign ministry. and we asked to the official, so let's watch our piece. did you know, like really do all 3 any of the accommodation or run that of our do they have the equipment or a cook? this is a turkish disaster management agencies. crisis center in the capital on carl nationwide relief is being coordinated here. days after 2 earthquakes at 10 cities with more than 13000000 inhabitants. these officers are distributing aid and supplies to survivors and deploying rescue teams across an area of more than 100000 square kilometers. although you there for me because of the industry, georgia, it is difficult to manage an earthquake of such magnitude an impact. we may not have got everywhere, but we are aware of it. however, 100000 people are working tirelessly in these 10 affected cities. mosquito finest x
7:05 pm
per se. monday's disaster was worst inland. shallower earthquake, oh, the 21st century menaced fractures built over 200 kilometer long fault line collapsed. the government's initial response was seen by many as inadequate a fact. acknowledge my president jeff, taper off the scale of the disaster and the criticism, encore, a has gone under force response, are likely the most challenging task the governing a party has face during its 21 year in power and circus. citizens pledge donations to help those in need. international aid is pouring in, managed by a unit within the foreign ministry. temporary shelters are being greatly welcomed from the academy. paul, but we have received help and offers of aid from 95 countries. 56 deliveries are already in the field. more will arrive from 19 others were engaged with
7:06 pm
international institutions where also coordinating aid from turkish citizens living abroad. these contributions are transferred to the turkish red crescent and disaster management agency, fucked on common amid harsh winter conditions from the time is running out. for many traps, survivors, people are calling on the government to do more. and in a country with a history of earthquakes, it is also accused of being unprepared for such a disaster. even though the scale of this one has shocked many official. so explained us the scale of this earthquake and, and the sy, smaller is the scientists have been warning that this is it, this earthquake is going to change the literature books about geology in trickier. so a turkey is in a different phase right now and handling the task of post earthquake operation, normalizing the area rebuilding those houses. it's a big to air responsibility and all these things the require a big, it requires
7:07 pm
a big budget from the turkish economy and to case preparing for an election and met images may. so how prisons are don is going to handle this a how this money is going to be found. these are all questions that need to be answered in the coming turns for is so far. everybody's focused on search and rescue and then normalizing. of course, this will change everything in the region. maybe the structures of the organization may be moving this to the centers it to somewhere else, but we're talking about a huge area and a direct effect. on 13 point half a 1000000 and 3030500000 a population in turkey. net, or is it going to that i sent across early the in the target couple of ankara. latino from russell soda, who is more on rescue efforts for carmen. rush, the epicenter for disaster. nearly a 1000 of building how collapsed. he had a hundreds of people or that right behind me. you can see that. did that?
7:08 pm
did the heavy lifting machines and did the vehicles are still digging into the robles and trying to reach to the, the bodies there. so in the last 24 hours, unfortunately, no one has been taken out of the robles that you can see alive. but we have seen several dozens of people that bodies were just coming out. and when they were taking 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 the families comfortable. because that disturbing 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 bravo were burned because the fire also is still continuing. and the rescue teams haven't been able to met, haven't been able to manage to, to distinguish that as well. so you can see that the other buildings that are
7:09 pm
standing around are heavily damaged, very much cracked, so that the rescue teams, he needs to be extraordinarily meticulously careful there, but still is a sad day, but time by time periodically. the work here is stopping because the rescue team needs to listen draw balls and they're asking everybody to be, to be quite, if there is any worse and a sound that comes from under the, under the rebels. bernard smith is in, is kendra and on took his mediterranean coast. so in a scanner on a city of a quarter of a 1000000 people, we want to show you how, where i'm standing, looked before to how it looks. now we took this off for street view that shows you the normal life just feel a few days ago taken by the girl. girl st. maps before the earthquake stroke and how it looks now i am standing on the remains of those buildings that you see in
7:10 pm
the picture. they have earlier on today managed to pull her 3 people alive out of the building behind me. that is why there is they are still clinging on to hope every now and then work stalks around me here. a whistle is blown, the call goes out for absolute silence. because people think they may have heard somebody deep under ground in the buildings of a lot of nothing while we've been here unfortunately. but they are still clinging to that hope, the problem is they've been so much destruction and so much stress on the facilities, the turkish government can provide that. they can't get to every building quickly and we walk pass areas where fillings are just completely pancakes. and if there's any chance of finding people underneath, it's just taking a long time to get to them or un secretary general antennae katira says his hg full visit turkey in syria this weekend, and assess what's needed there and see how the united nations can help this is the
7:11 pm
moments of units of the moment to politicize or to divide, but it is obvious that so we need massive supports. and so i would be, of course, very happy if the civic also could reach a consensus to allow for her mort crossings to be used as we needs also to increase our capacity to deliver on cross line operations into it. leap from the the, the muscles. ok. let's bring an air, kristen silly me from you and headquarters in new york and kristen just gives an update. if you would on you in relief efforts. well, to very complicated situation, the un, i had some good news today and that 6 relief carrying trucks have crossed into northwestern syria from chakiya at the one security council authorized cross border entry points to the region that has been under opposition control as a result of the civil war there. this is an area that was in huge need of
7:12 pm
humanitarian support, even before the earthquake, and it's very challenging for the un to operate there. it did have 300 staff on the ground before the earthquake head, but it still waiting to get a disaster assistance, a disaster assessment team into the country. the team is waiting in lebanon to go and assess the needs further on the ground, but they can't get visas. the u. n. tells us that this is a result of the complicated politics in the shock of the aftermath of the earthquake, which has presented so many challenges for them. so this is an area where the un says 4 and a half 1000000 people will need assistance. so they are rallying support and calling for resources from member states here and also for a better access to the area from the government of syria. it's what more did the
7:13 pm
you and she needs to get aid to those who you're desperately in need. yes, like the the resources and the access are key at the people they are need everything from a food and cold weather gear. they need tans. they need plastic sheeting, they need medical help and then the infrastructure is going to need a repair. i was already in bad shape before the earthquake. now over 200 schools have been devastated. water supplies have been cut off. electricity is non existent and areas. so it's a very challenging situation. that's why relieved chief martin griffith is heading to the region this weekend and 25000000 dollars has already been released from un coffers to deal with the emergency. but another appeal is expected in the coming
7:14 pm
weeks. that's likely to be much, much higher to deal with the increasingly dire situation on the ground in syria or kristen, kristen, ben, york in syria. the earthquake caused water levels and rivers and dams to rise. several houses have been washed away. on the 0 correspondents, you have left visited some of the affected areas in italy province. now i saw a very tough nightmare in this village. water entered these houses after the i'll see it is are in syria flooded and thereby comp for displaced. people levels was checked in dozens of families left during the night and moved to high ground. the earthquake caused the water level in the house either to reach unprecedented hive and damn surrounding this village relapse. yeah, you to the intense pressure, the water washed away everything and destroyed fences and houses. dozens of people are left and civil defense teams are trying to divert the water away from the village. more flood water this coming. people try to use this book. those are to

7:26 pm
trying to strengthen ties with non western nations in light of sanctions over the ukraine war. north graham showcases intercontinental ballistic missile 3 and major military parade. the event that some of us, 3 of the founding of its army troops rolled out the latest hardware of what kim john own, called the country's nuclear strike capability. well, mcbride is 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 and still involved on the same pos of weapons development that we saw from last year 2020, to witnessing an unprecedented flurry of activity with around 80 ballistic missiles being loads 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,
7:27 pm
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 few engines, which would be a particular development, a particular advance and it's miss all technology. those career is also though, been putting a lot of effort into its development of its austell of short range ballistic missiles, which it says are capable of carrying nuclear warheads. and i'll see there's 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 pandemic isolation, food shortages on top of the years of international sanctions. parades like this are seen as being an important way for north korea to show it defiant to the
7:28 pm
outside world. and for the regime itself to show its own people that it is still very much in charge chiles. presidents gabriel, a bullet bridge is appealing for international health to deal with fall spreading wildfires. the place has killed 24 people and destroyed towns. a heat wave in the south central region is threatening to intensify. the fires is in human, has more nor santiago. day and night firefighters are struggling to combat forest and bush fires in south central chile. a stifling heat wave, and strong winds are driving flames north and south, destroying thousands of homes, schools, and crops. this isn't the 1st time for and we cannot have eyes really said good on milan for the world fires in 2011 burned my house, all my trees, everything i was left with my arms crossed and now i don't want to go through the same again that is why i am here in case something happens. so far they've been at

least $24.00 confirmed deaths scores are missing, which is why the government is warning people to heat evacuation notices immediately. loss is sent a war you actor fires can advise 27 kilometers an hour and people can't escape on foot. fast enough in the fire arrives. it's impossible to see a delays if they don't evacuate in an approaching fashion. worse yet, many people live in remote areas where mo bile phone coverage has been interrupted and we're firefighters can't reach them to warn them to leave before it's too late . chillies calls for help are being met overnight. a team of colombian, fire fighters, specializing and forest fires, arrived to join hundreds from mexico, spain, and brazil. but the fires are still spreading out of control, sending smoke in all directions, which you would normally see here is a bright summer's day. but the winds are pushing the smoke from south central chile, north towards the capital santiago authorities, a warning people not to exercise outdoors and to keep the windows closed. to
7:30 pm
prevent the smoke and ash from getting in their homes, people who've lost their homes to the fire, or asking authorities to declare a night curfew to prevent thieves from taking the little they have left for rebuilding. so far the flames have not reached town to cities, but the theories that the fires could spread quickly to densely populated areas like me, they'll matter and we'll put a saw where the destruction would be incalculable to see and human al jazeera santiago. ah, so this is odd 0, these are the top stories and the 1st you and 8 shipment has not arrived. syria trucks entered the bubble. how a crossing along the turkish border into tertiary control by serious rebels. why our list is the 1st response after this earth.
