4:08 pm

4:11 pm
the disaster management of turkey. and they said that the energy that has been released by these 2 earthquake that heat the salt and turkey is almost equal to the energy or 5 atomic bombs. so as a result, the devastation is beyond imagination. and just the income on marsh, nearly a 1000 building, how collapse and more than 6000 people have died sheer and now people are trying to cope with this aftermath. salmon, you know, recently, absolutely right. when you mention the, the atomic bomb kind of scenario, when you think about, when we try to imagine for those of us obviously haven't lived through that kind of thing. what would the devastation look like of an atomic bomb? this is walt, one imagines you might be faced with this kind of apocalyptic situation of buildings rumbled and it almost every,
4:12 pm
if not every other building around here damage. i walked around that it was hard to try and find a building that didn't have some mark of damage. now, russell said that nobody was pulled out alive there today. but we do have some good news just a, a short while ago. over towards the cameras, jamal if he can, can, over to the screen. right. from a building next to us, people were pulled out of the rubble. 5 people were pulled out alive, and we just a short while ago, had the ambulances racing by. like i said, it's 19 people so found this is quite an unusual situation to have that many people pulled out so many what is it more than a 120 hours since the earthquake strong? so there is some, there is still some good news coming in. we've got people gathering around here to
4:13 pm
get relief. government is trying to get them the help they can. that is an a fad vehicle from the government agency that is coordinating the relief. so they're trying to get services and trying to get help out here. but if you go out of here, we've been hearing from people to say there are still remote areas more remote than this warehouse hasn't reached them yet. we'll talk about the fame of help reaching people. i spoke to a couple of people, introduce me to their family, all sitting out in the street by a river. they said they're too afraid to go home. we'll do this. then there's nothing we can do. it's bad, we fell into the situation, but it's god's will. no one could prevented. so many people are under the rubble right now. there's nothing to do. a devil. this is on every game. i have no peace at home. i can't get into the house because i'm having a panic attacks. i can't stay in doors anymore and then romeo made
4:14 pm
my so clearly a lot of people in need of help of different sold. bernard smith has been joining the crew of one vote. find to find other ways to get help the people in an environment that sometimes is quite qualified when you're trying to track roads. loading onto this fishing boat is food, medical supplies, nappies, cooking oil, blankets, heaters and worry and apprehension. memory. aaron is heading back to someone down his hometown, flattened in the earthquake, waiting for him. he'll find his mother and 3 sisters alive, at least. but now homes. get a good. i got really worried when the quake happened, but my sister told me that they were ok. then i texted my friends to make sure they are. but most of them didn't respond and that's why i decided to come to my town to help rescue operations. and i'm bringing food and medicine to my family member
4:15 pm
hopes he can still find a few people alive, but he knows time is running out. it's a 5 hour crossing, but still the fastest way to get to one of the areas was hit by the quake. a troll is can carry $25.00 truckloads of a per day. so we are able to get much more aid from across turkey. and now let me know. our 1st stop is the coast guard where most of the official aid is dropped off. in the morning, survivors will be allowed to take what they need from then on the other side of the harbor, aid is delivered to families who've made specific requests from relatives here and there is nowhere to sleep. no one has got enough aid yet. so made it coming, but it is not distributed in an organized way. they got a sack of flour and several boxes of 8, but i don't know what's in them if you're going to need to buy them from a 3rd day onwards. trucks loaded with a poured into our town, you know,
4:16 pm
only on the 4th day that heavy duty machines arrive here going on, ma'am. at his bringing supplies of attend his family now called home. he's reunited with one of his sisters. i feel happy and set i see my son sitting in the station. it is really bad for me. so that when the drive into someone died from the port reveals the desperate circumstances, the survivors are in still living out of that cause 5 days on from the initial quake. the government has not yet got tens through to this town. and this is where aid is coming to and where it is desperately needed. more than 70 percent of the buildings in this town have been totally destroyed. there is no electricity, and there is no sign of life. bernard smith, alger 0,
4:17 pm
summoned off se in turkey. i mean, it's not just food and blankets that people need. of course people need shelter. now the government has been announcing initiatives are going to try and help people paying their relocation call, paying for their rent. if they have to go and rent places. let's find out more about that now we didn't call so although she's joining us from anchor, what is the government thing? well, we heard a turkish disaster management agencies spokesperson and deliver a press for you for a couple of hours ago. and he mentioned about the ah devastation effect this deadly earthquake created. and he said that the 1st earth it would were, which was $7.00. a magnitude lasted 6 to 5 seconds more than one minute. and the 2nd one, which happened now after a couple of hours, 7.6 magnitude lasted for $4.00 to $5.00. and so we're talking about an earthquake,
4:18 pm
literally that lasted for more than 2 minutes. he said, and this is the reason why i was see the catastrophic around this area, an area of a landscape 110000 square kilometers. and in a 13 and a half 1000000, a population inhabitants in this area. and a, he said that a, he actually warned the citizens not to get close by the buildings because each building is there risk right now. not before every building, each building is risk assessed by the experts, by the i have volunteers and he said current the and there are 1301300. a teams on the ground. each team is it has to pupils. so 2600 people are checking at the buildings, risk assessing them. and until then, as turkish president spoke half an hour ago, people will be taking shelters in the dormitories ago are provided by the
4:19 pm
government. that's. that's why universities will be closed until summer. and the dormitories that are found operate for the college students are going to be a designated for the earthquake survivors. a shelter is a big problem as we're talking about a big, a huge number of people here, sammy and it, it who are hurt by this devastation our most the women and children. and we had the chance to see 16 babies who were in from carter ma mirage. the epicenter of this that the earthquake to the capital ankara via presidential plane and they have the identities. but in the office authorities haven't been able to contact their families. then we filmed those 16 infants in the i see a unit in the anchor us at the hospital. let's watch together. this baby is 3 to 5 days, or when mondays catastrophic earthquake,
4:20 pm
it took years eastern province of co, him on morris. she was already in intensive care and this one as well. his heart beat slow down when he's asleep. 16 infants were transferred from the epicenter in common marsh to the capitol on ker 2 days ago. they were all intensive care, but their hospitals were evacuated either for safety reasons or to treat survivors . all of them have ideas, but dear thirties haven't been able to reach their families. hustle. only hipson in general drama is hostile items. babies are in good shape. we do ultrasounds with checkup purposes. one of our babies was born at 28 weeks and the other 33, falling the completion of their eye examinations. we will plan their discharge. and this time the survivor was rescued from the ruins. the woman who discovered her scribbled baby oh, the rubble on her forehead, and left
4:21 pm
a note on her chest telling where she was found. 16 babies, separated from their families, were evacuated from their home town, which now resembles a war torn city. after being rescued from the rubble from babies were able to receive medical treatment. premature baby is on the other hand, will have to remain in intensive care. they are being attended by foster mothers appointed by the ministry of family and social services. so honestly, we withdrew them because we will definitely keep a close eye on our babies. these patients growth and development should be monitored at regular intervals in outpatient clinic lunacy as these innocent babies fight for the lives in the i. c. u. authorities continue to search for their missing family. he num go solo elders, era anchor baby sizing for the allies in the i see you here in turkey
4:22 pm
situation a lot more harder. we're a lot more people may be fighting for their lives across the border in syria. now this is what relief agencies say before the earthquake, more than 4000000 people were surviving on aid from international organizations. what's the situation like now? well, they say 5000000 people may have been displaced by this earthquake in syria alone, a staggering number. we did see of course, international aid coming in to syria is a question of how smoothly a delivery is going. let's try and get some perspective on that. we can join now our correspondence who's at till they all go soup on the syrian border, stephanie decker. so stephanie, what are we hearing about the a distribution in syria? the suffering there? while i just want to pick up on on you, we're talking about babies an incident report. we've just seen 5 babies actually because we've been watching bodies of syrians killed in the earthquake coming here
4:23 pm
being put on to trucks and going into syria for burial all day long. and just now 10 minutes ago a car came and he was carrying tiny parcels, but he's also also putting it in the truck where the dead bodies are. and we were confused wondering what is the so our producer went over to ask. it was 5 premature babies who are in the incubators during the earthquake. obviously the electricity went off, so they didn't survive. so you do have absolutely or effect stories like that of tragedy. you're asking me about aid. well, aid is finally trickling into syria on day 6, we've seen a un conway go. and this is part of the usual un agreement that they've had before . some of the international teams that have flown in here to help with the earthquake are in and are starting to, to help out on the ground. so tense, medical, just entities. but of course, if you're talking about search and rescue, it's already in days are numbered and you know, it's a fight against time. but of course we are still hearing amazing news that you have
4:24 pm
. people being pulled alive from the rubble. but of course, everything we've been focusing on here in terms of search and rescue operations recovery operations, the help has been sent in, hasn't reached syria at all on the same scale. so where's it's trickling in? it's taking quite a while to do so. yes indeed. and our correspondent jana holder has been looking at that stephanie and found, as you were mentioning, those search and rescue operations would be winding out. and people still struggling with age. the search for the living has ended in northwest syria. it's now about removing the bodies trapped under the hundreds of buildings that collapsed following the earthquakes, as pitter kia and syria. on monday, those who responded to the human tragedy. say the world failed. the people in the opposition controlled enclave. the civil defense, also known as white helmets,
4:25 pm
said people died because repeated requests for rescue support. teams and heavy machinery never came up. i have been deeply affected by the voice as we heard from under the rubble they were crying for help. in one instance, we worked for 4 hours before were able to reach a man, but it was too late. he died. destruction and devastation are not only in the opposition held areas in the north. but in heavily populated government held cities like a level hummer and latter kia as well. the united nations estimates more than 5000000 people are now homeless. we evacuated people from all the buildings that dangerous shelters have begun receiving people. it's a new wave of displacement already. there are nearly 7000000 syrians have been displaced in their own country due to the war that began more than a decade ago. many are in the north where 4000000 depended on aid before the
4:26 pm
earthquake destroyed more lives. on friday, the syrian government said it will allow aid to reach areas outside its control in what appeared to be a concession linked to a deal that involved waiving some sanctions for quake relief. but so far it hasn't happened. the states opponents have long fear the consequences of so called cross line deliveries, where the opposition in northwest syria is afraid of receiving cross line aid for many reasons. but primarily they're afraid of their regime. holding that lifeline against them. using it the future to coerce them into providing political concession. a has started to come in from the bible, how a border with her kia, the only crossing authorized by the u. n. for a deliveries. the opposition says the international community should ignore objections from damascus and use more crossings to ensure the constant flow of relief supplies. already the world food program says it's running out of stocks in
4:27 pm
the opposition and claim we're more than 90 percent of people relied on aid before the latest disaster. santa hunter elisha's ita. while we're talking here some more aid is arrived. this gentleman has been tossing out out drinks to people and we got some food on the back of a truck. see if our camera and rather joe out can get a shot of that. it's much needed because it looks like it's hot food. exactly what the u. n was talking about today saying 900000 people need something other than cold snacks. well there, we've got some, it looks like hot food being delivered and there are the people who need it. you can see now they, they've lit fire. they're trying to stay warm and looks like a sunny day here, but i can tell you there is a little when they're trying to keep warm by burning anything they can get their
4:28 pm
hands on. those people basically that houses are gone, their homes are gone. it's a really hard situation, not only physically, but an emotionally hard situation to take in when you stand here and you just see the level of devastation. you see the look some people's faces and you can't help but be touched by the sense of loss. the overwhelming sense of grief and sadness, i spoke to some of those people who were sitting over there and they said, we are right now to frozen with too numb to feel anything. they vary their nephews. they've lost their home. but they still have hope for hell and a better day to morrow and you back now to go home. oh
4:29 pm
no for more on the weather hears overton or across. so southern parts of the middle east over the next couple of days, and it will grassy warm up even here in carter a fair bit more cloud, further north that cloud thick enough to reduce them, outbreaks of cloud and rain through iraq into iran. we'll see some wet weather, some winter weather coming through here. q weight getting up to around 24 celsius and not too bad. a 24 here in dough horror as well. in this we go on into monday. we could touch $28.00 degrees with some pleasant sunshine returning to the reader, but further north thinks to cool off q 8 at around 19 celsius, some snow coming into western parts of iraq. notice sciences, some snow just creep in their way into northern areas of to kia by monday. i think by the middle of the week we could see snow returning across a good part of the kia may be pushing down towards northern areas, a syria ahead of that it does stay dry and of course it will stay cold,
4:30 pm
particularly at night for the frosts in the forecast here for the receivable future, one or 2 showers across the far north of africa. meanwhile, some showers, they're just around shanicea, northern parts of algeria, but from much of north africa it is fine, dry and settled as is the case across the western side. of southern africa over to walls. yes. who sees a very heavy rain with flooding in the s what teeny and mozambie still ahead on al jazeera, the last fighter says, ship done what's being called a high altitude object off the alaskan coast plot. more violent protests improve the president, calls for talks to solve a political crisis which has lost it for months and in sports, real madrid get a massive boost ahead of the club world cup final details. busy coming out, ah, oil companies, the biggest companies in the world had
4:31 pm
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 crime 40 years of denying their own scientific evidence. i thought that i could important them to change their business plan. this was very naive decisions that claimed our future. it's just pure evil. i don't know what to say. big oil's big lives are not just either examining the impact of today's headlines. this is one, it's all about ensuring that one can continue. let count on that and setting the agenda for tomorrow's discussions. i don't believe that, i think in the funny thing that is willing to kill international filmmakers and world class journalists, bring programs to inform and inspire you. we need to have a media ensuring that voices are heard on algio 0, lou
4:32 pm
ah, you're watching all the 0 reminder of i told stories this hour. it's been 6 days since 2 powerful grade said turkey and syria. busy more than 25000 people have died and tens of thousands are without shelter. for us here, teams continue to search for survivors despite decreasing hold. india but kia a woman has been fined a life more than a 120 hours after the disaster. a trucks have started entering from took care into northern syria, which is facing destruction both from the earthquakes. i did civil war, the urine says more than 5300000 people are now homeless. as a result of mondays earthquakes,
4:33 pm
we're going to move on to some other world news now. protests are continuing in france against proposals to increase the retirement age. thousands of people have taken to the streets in paris after almost a week of nationwide strike action. president ma homes pension reform plans aim to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. ah, the u. s. military is shot down a 2nd unauthorized high altitude object found in its air space on friday. military officials say the object was brought down over alaska and recovery efforts are underway. i to jo castro reports public details about what u. s. official described as the object discovered over northeastern alaska remain spars. the pentagon says it was about the size of a car for an unmanned and did not appear to be maneuverable. this was traveling at
4:34 pm
about 40000 feet, which posed a potential, a reasonable threat to civilian air traffic. and the decision was made to take it down. the decision came from president biden, as he was preparing to meet with brazil president at the white house by didn't had been criticized by republicans for waiting days to shoot down a chinese spy balloon. as it traveled across the united states last week, the administration had feared the risk of a bad landing, and so waited until the balloon was over the atlantic ocean to take it down. us official se, there's no indication. the object shot down over alaska on friday was related. we do not know who owns it, whether it's a, whether it's state owned or, or corporate owned or privately owned. we just don't know. the us northern command is now working to recover the object that landed on ice near the arctic circle, as the american public waits to learn what it was. heidi jo, castro,
4:35 pm
al jazeera washington. let me take you back to our earlier story process. continuing in france of dense the proposals to buy the government to increase the retirement age. you can see live pictures from paris there, which is showing the crowds that have been taken to the streets earlier on. we were seeing some pictures being fed from other parts of paris where there have been a, has been fighting between protesters and police. we can go to andrew simmons who's joining us live now. so we were, i was going to ask you, if we were expecting big numbers, it looks from the pictures as though they might be, can you give us an idea of what the turn out is like andrew mark cool. i think you can see from the yeah, how big the turnout here is in paris, but it can be measured right across the country. because even in small provincial towns, a lot of people are taking to the streets are to make it quite clear that they don't accept this reform program on pensions. and on the retirement age,
4:36 pm
they want to see a complete review, if not a rejection in parliament of all of these reforms and the heat is ready, rising right now. everything is peaceful. it would seem that there is an intention to put more and more pressure on their strikes, as i say, right across the country. and we're now hearing that there will be a general day of action lot across the country on march, the 7th, a general strike, which will bring the whole country to a halt. and who is there any indication at all that the government may be forced to change its stance on this? if these protests continue? ah, well emanuel macro, the president is unlikely it. it's virtually impossible. he is really, really tight. that's an assurance that the retirement age will rise from 62 to 64.
4:37 pm
this will be done in phases in over 7 years, and also a whole raft of reforms of pensions. now, the headline which is pushed out is a minimum pension of, of $1300.00. but there are all sorts of complex conditions attached to latin. the general who is amongst the union, how role nice in demonstrations and strikes. is that a discriminate against the manual workers, whole people right across the board. so there is a feeling now that this will go on for some considerable time. is this any different from the sort of action the st action you see in france? a lot of the times fully answer is yes, because there's a real unity about this action. more so than the yellow, vast movement in 2018, which was principally about fuel prices. but then morphed into
4:38 pm
a whole range of issues. this is concentrated right across french classes, not just the poor, but those in the middle classes as well. and there is also a feeling that why can't taxes be raised in order to facilitate a decent package as they would call it? because even though these ages may seem quite low by comparison to other parts of europe, this is a tradition in france. yet micron has made it the centerpiece all his 2nd term in power, and he will not give it up. maybe it could be we can some walks, but no a, his reputation stands on it. it's even been said reported that he said that he wants to be remembered for this reform republic. well, could it be remembered for the wrong reason is the question that hangs in the air right now. either. thank you very much. indeed. that's andrew simmons live for us in the center of paris. want to take you to albus down there that life touches
4:39 pm
coming from. and from there we understand that this is showing. these are pictures that are showing just a few moments ago of a girl who has been brought out from underneath the rubble, an elbow stand by rescue as you can possibly just see as though hers. there should be have wrapped her in tin foil. one would imagine that is to try and keep her as warm as possible. it is bitterly cold. as our correspondents have been telling us earlier on in their southern turkey, particularly now they are taking her to an ambulance. that was the 1st sign that this person who was being brought out from the rubble was alive as opposed to having been found dead. so we understand, as i said, that this is a girl who has been brought out by the, the rescuers. there has been wrapped in tin foil put on a, a stretcher, and we understand just a few moments ago before i she was being brought out. we could he hear cheers. i'm
4:40 pm
