5:06 pm
to on has been speaking today and he's been talking about how hundreds of thousands of buildings are inhabitable. it's not only that it needs to be family that we saw there in the sound bites. there's a lot of people who need shelter. the vice president said they put more than 330000 people into shelter. there's many more needs, as i said, or the president is vowing they're going to start rebuilding building within weeks time as they say is all vs back for you. and so i me, thank you very much indeed that some you say done talking to some diag a i want to bring in. so south, who's in the come on, not sure which was one of the epa centers of the disaster. you have been there since the very early hours after the initial ask week struck the scale of what we're seeing over the last few days is extraordinary. just talk us through what's been happening, where you are. well, it is extraordinary. indeed. this city was hit twice in just 9 hours by
5:07 pm
a very high magnitude earthquakes. and as a result at towels and building nearly a 1000 building, how collapse and 6000 people have died. however, the numbers are still going up and up. so right over there, down there, you can see that the rescue teams are covering a dead body with a white blanket out of the respect for the families that are waiting in hope. maybe to get their relatives back from under the rubble. and so now they are put in another that body. unfortunately, this is a repeating scene in this city. almost at every minute you will see the new bodies are being taken out, particularly today. these numbers are quite high, is the 6 they and that the time is running out. the hopes are fading here. however, just a little ago,
5:08 pm
we have been informed that of the 130 hours after the earthquake. another person miraculously in this city has been taken out of the rubble and he or she is alive because we haven't been confirmed whether it's male or female. that is a definitely moment of joy for people around and for here for, for the family. however, dozens and dozens of the buddies are still coming out of there's rubble and steel. many are missing and the fear here is that these numbers may be will be hundreds and even powers. and so you can see that just a collapse building here. it is quite difficult to imagine that anyone could come alive under this deborah there, and apartments of they're a part of those blocks off the blogs are like, this is just one of the scenes in the city, but there are hands off like days across the city the city center is almost
5:09 pm

5:15 pm
where's it's trickling in? it's taking quite a while to do so. those who had survived in syria, i was struggling to stay alive due to that lack of aid. this stephanie decker was just talking about. xena halter has more from beirut. 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 that hit the kia and syria on monday. those who responded to the human tragedy, say the world failed, the people and the opposition controlled and clave. the civil defense, also known as white helmets, said people died because repeated requests for rescue support. teams and heavy machinery never came. i mean, i have been deeply affected by the voices 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

5:24 pm
ah. oh ah, you're watching, i'll just eat a reminder of our top stories this hour more than 25000 people have died after 2 powerful earthquakes. it took care and syria on monday, search and rescue efforts continue. the turkish president has been tuning the destroyed areas. he's promised to rebuild the cities. a 4 year old girl has been put alive out of the rubble after more than a 130 hours from a collapse to building in gassy and tap into a kia area rescue teams. it saved
5:25 pm
a family of 5 after a 129 hours since the disaster. syrians are digging gravesites to bury victims of monday's earthquakes. nearly 4500 people have been killed. many are waiting for news of family members who are still buried under collapsed buildings. we're going to go on to some other world news now. these are live pictures from the center of paris. protest are continuing across france against proposals to increase the retirement age. thousands of people have taken to the streets in paris after almost a week of nation wide strike action. president microns pension reform plans aim to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. and who simmons is joining us. low live. it looks from those pictures that things are turning very ugly and certainly in parts of paris. well yes, over although won't have to put these things into context on the whole,
5:26 pm
the majority is peaceful. there is are 2 rounds of crowds here moving from the plus the republic in this direction to separate marches. now the numbers do seem to be very high, although it's hard to actually accurately gauge that at this stage, it has to be said though that well workers have not gone on strike. and also in the subways in the metro are also not going on strike. that's obviously relieve the situation in terms of freeflow people and of course is possibly going up. the numbers, monitoring the situation, perhaps more intensely than anyone else will be. the elisa palace up because the president emmanuel macaroni is under massive pression. now over this reform bill, he is watching to see if somehow there will be more
5:27 pm
action in the downward direction in terms of support for these protests and strikes bugs. all the opinion polls are consistent. it's around 70 percent of all french people are supporting the process because they feel that not the government macaroni in particular is going to fall with reform. you might see many people in europe. my think. let 62 years of age right now for its audience is pretty young. 64 people go to under these reforms. however, the feeling here is that the french tradition is to retire earlier than elsewhere. and furthermore, the whole package on pensions is controversial because the headline figure of $1300.00 minimal that the, the actual minimal pension they'll get is actually not quite the case because
5:28 pm
there's all sorts of cum, complex, or ins and outs with regulations that mean they say, the union say that working people, particularly manual workers, come off less than have them, you know, just as you've been talking to this under, we're looking at some live pictures again from parts of paris. we can see the size of the crowds that you've been telling us about, and another set of pictures, possibly in another part of paris, where somebody has a new set, a fire in the middle of the street, surrounded by crowds there clearly that there is tension there is there any sign that the government may, by don, it's east protests really start to ramp up with? well, that's true, but is a thought here. thought if there is violence and demonstrations, that could be a reaction by the public which is negative towards the strikes. however, this is a very different picture here, some flaw with the full days of demonstration. there is a very different picture here than previous straighten protest. we've seen such as
5:29 pm
the yellow bass, which is about a different picture, far more unified here in the main, more peaceful, but that could be a different picture depending on events under thank you very much indeed. and her summons live for us in paris. your nuclear watchdogs, he profile grosses and moscow. he's been holding talks with the head of russia state nuclear from awesome. they discussed the situation and ukraine's this is up patricia, a nuclear power plant. they've agreed to continue to work in creating a safety zone. there, repeated shelling of the plant, which is now controlled by russia as raised concerns about a nuclear accident. we continue the work of the situation. unfortunately, continues to be very fragile. very precarious. my experts, for example, to day had to be rotated. a group was waiting to go into the plant
5:30 pm
and another group to leave it. fortunately, this rotation is being delayed for the as he to asia, which is prevailing in, in the area where today, very strong donations were been heard. all of these, all of these, say to us that we cannot lose any more time to democratic republic of congo. now we're fighting's, been going on near the eastern town of soc h some 15 kilometers west from the regional capital gama. and comes a day after m. 23 fighters interest closer to saki, prompting fastens to flee their homes. east african leaders have called for an immediate his fire under working to find ways of calming the conflict. ah.
