ah, welcome to the news hour. we begin with the unfolding disaster inter kia and syria in the wake of mondays to devastating earthquakes. more than 26000 people have now been confirmed dead and tens of thousands are without shelter. the turkish president reggie type earlier has promised to take concrete steps to begin rebuilding cities within weeks and then done the good. we have plans to rebuild the cities infrastructure along with the homes in the thousands of buildings that were destroyed in the earthquake. but the earthquakes have raised questions about turkey is building standards since more than 6000 structure has collapsed and the united nations a chief martin griffith described the disaster as the regions, worst events in a 100 years. griffith made the remarks during his visit to the epicenter and cut her mind mirage. meanwhile, serious state television said the head of the world health organization has now

arrived in the quake stricken city of aleppo. well, we have a team of correspondence right across turkey, a. stephanie decker is that a crossing on the turkish syrian border center, cost of oak lose in the capital, anchor russell. sorry r. as in car, my mirage, one of the epa center of the disaster to begin our coverage. let's go to sammy say done. who's in nor doggy in turkey, or sammy officials here fighting against time. but also those who are surviving. also fighting for survival. again in increasingly hostile environment, temperatures are dropping here. and you can probably see behind me what some of the display people are resorting to fighting whatever they can. let me give you some facts 1st. more than 25000 dead. more than 80000 have been injured. more than 6000 building have been damaged. what the president of type one is saying,

hundreds of thousands of buildings may now be in habitable. well, this is leaving a huge strain. although the government has been able to how a lot of people still all the people suffering. but there's been a sliver of hope today. we've had at least 21 people pulled out of the rubble alive of various buildings have been off god camera, man. joe, if he can pass around to what will be your screen rights that you can see? the operations going on here and we had some good news just next to the spot there . 5 people were pulled out alive from another building. we fill the ambulance is racing around. very lifted up, but it's an emotional rollercoaster. one minute people are sitting we stricken with grief. one minute hopes of res. as there are

signs of life. sometimes that ends with disappointment, sometimes it ends with good news, as we have in this spot today, with 5 people pulled out the rabble amongst the people rescued today. somehow, a young girl, a 5 year old girl who survived more than a 132 hours under the rubble in this cold, in this very challenging environment. well, authorities are now saying that between what they're calling temporary housing and between sheltering people in schools and public facilities, one and a half 1000000 people have been put in some kind of shelter. but as i found out earlier, speak you to that and is the family was still a lot of people camped out the streets. little mother went there to going to there's nothing we can do bad that we fell into the situation. but it's god's will . no one could prevent it. so many people are under the rubble right now. there is

nothing to do a devil. this isn't a good m. yeah, i have no peace at home. i can't get into the house because i'm having a panic attacks. i could stay in doris any minute. we then we're on the or amanda. ah, or i well this area is an area of devastation, but i think we've got some pictures we can show you of what this area used to look like it should be on your screen shortly of what was a quite smart neighborhood. now, as you can see on the other side of the screen, this is what it looks like now. that's a lot to take in. that's a lot to digest mentally and you can understand, speaking to people. when people tell us here they say, we're just frozen. i spoke to some of the people behind me and i asked them, what's the situation, what's going through your mind? they say we feel nothing when number, where frozen people are dealing with

a lot here also dealing a lot in other places like the 2nd at the center, common mirage in there, we have low. so some of the dos standing by live. how are the operations going there? russell? while sam is the 6 they and the time is definite, they run in out. however, just a little i go, we have been able to confirm that. at 5 years old syrian girl has been taken out of rubble and she was alive and just an hour later, one hour, 33 at 123 hours later. another girl also has been pulled out of auto for the de robles and she also was arrived alive. so these are the that the read mormons of joys today here for their families. and people around this city has seen so much that, that definitely it needs such good news. and of course it's given also the park of hope to the families that are still waiting. however,

the disaster is still on fall in here right over there. i'm not far from where we are. you can see that the rescue teams how i put a, a white blanket over there out of respect for the families because now they are pulling and not their dad buddy. unfortunately, in the last couple of hours, there has been several people been taken out right after each other from the same location and probably it is a family and these are their family members. so these are the stories that are going on. he have just a little i go have talked to a woman, she says that they have buried already 111 friends and relatives here. these are the stories, the pain that are shared by hum. that is uh huh. it is of families in the city of god, in the city of cod, among marsh. on the other hand, you can see that now we are in front of a rubble

a collapse building. and this is just one of a hundreds here. buildings after building the could blocks off their blocks are called left is just one of the scenes, and they are vide spread across the city. the city center is almost destroyed, caught among marsh, was one of the most developed cities in turkey. it had a, a, a vibrant intellectual life and loss of festivals. and also it is regarded as a very much highly industrialized city. and it is called as the city off 7 man referring to 7 famous poets in churches. but now many of its faces are gone forever. so rebuilding the city probably is going to take years and definitely days, weeks, and even months to find all of the victims here. however, the families here, despite their hope by every passing minutes fading, they're still waiting in hope to get their beloved one back and hopefully ally. but

if not, at least that, that they can give them a proper burial. got them on mirage. the progress of carmen marsh was hit twice in just 9 hours. the 1st one was 7.8, and the, the 2nd one was 7.5 magnitude. it was quite huge. according to the turkish disaster, monumental tora t. so the city, the 1st earthquake o duration of the 1st or quick was 65 seconds wide and while the 2nd one was 45 seconds and the area has shaken severely for about 2 minutes. and as that result, nearly a 1000 building have collapsed here. and around 6000 people have died here, but the fear here is that these numbers potentially are going to go higher and higher. russel's 65

seconds of sheer terror. that shook people's sense of security and for some people shook their confidence in the authorities. there has been criticism, of course, of the relief effort. we should point out that in places like this, we do see the relief for the out and about we see the fire trucks on the government relief agencies as well as the rescue. as earlier we saw, well, basically what the you and was calling for when the you and today said 900000 people across syria and turkey are in need of hot meals. we saw cars block today, pick up trucks and give our hot meals that doing an effort as best as they can, they say. but there is criticism of the aid of not being coordinated so much that the aid of it was slow. let's get more perspective on that. we can go over now to see them call. so lu, she's in ankara. how are officials responding to that criticism center?

well the official say ha, they acknowledge actually they, there were places that they couldn't go and, and they couldn't sufis at some time. but they are doing their best and to reach out to everyone, to reach out to all those 10 cities, which are more than 160000 search and rescue teams on the ground. but they say they not the magnitude, but the impact of this earthquake is very large. it affected 10 cities where more than a 13000000 inhabitants led. so we're talking about millions. and ad trickier is a country that is prone to earthquakes. earthquake is like the faith, a fate of this country. but at many opponents of the government have been criticizing this, especially the 1st 24 hours and following the incident. but as we heard a turkish disaster management authority spokesperson, i briefing the press

a couple of hours ago, and he explained the impact in an easy way for the citizens to understand. he said, the effect is a what can be caused by $500.00 atomic bombs. so this expresses the, a scale of this devastation and in the impact of this earthquake, of course, ah, he, oh, he warned citizens not to approach to the buildings before the risk assessments are done. this is very vital because it is still shaking in the country in turkey every day there are 40 to 50. earthquakes are recorded and after the these 2 major earthquakes and the, the aftershocks are even at 5 and 6 in magnitude. that's why it tired buildings damaged buildings might collapse in a, in a very small magnitude. earthquake. they say that's why teams are on the ground a doing risk assessment. but of course, this earthquake, this catastrophe, separated some families and there were 16 babies in caught her mom mirage in the

epicenter of this earthquake, who were transferred via presidential plain to the capital on correct couple of days ago. and yesterday we went to see them in the intensive care unit on in ankara, city hospital. they have the idea. i have 14 of them that were already in the hospital, but 2 of them are, were pulled out from the rubble then. ah, we had the chance to fill them and let's watch together how they live in intensive care. this baby is there to farseason when mondays catastrophic earthquake it to kids, 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 was transferred from the epicenter in, caught him on marsh to the capital 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 the families hustling hoops and again i'll drama. hustle, adams, babies really good shape. we did ultra sounds to check them purposes. one of the babies was born at 28 weeks and the other 33. following the completion of the eye examinations, people plan their discharge. and this time, the survivor was rescued from the rooms. the woman who discovered her scribbled baby oh, the rubble on her forehead and left a note on her chest telling where she was found. 16 babies separated from their families, were evacuated from their hometown, which now resembles a war torn city. after being rescued from the rebel from babies were able to receive medical treatment. premature babies 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. soon as it was and we will definitely keep close eye babies. these patients growth and development should be monitored at regular intervals in application of any as these innocent babies fight for the lives in the i. c. u. authorities continue to search for the missing family . emphasis older l to 0 on correct it's not only infant and people here in to the care of my people that live the whole situation. in theory or across the board or a little south from where i am, of course, is indescribable, according to aid agencies, hoping about 4000000 people who already survived only on international aid before the earthquake began. and now we're talking about the possibility of 5000000 people

having been displaced as a result of the earthquake as how those things are here and they are hot. you know, the threat came from the ground in a place like syria, or at least for some parts that cause water on country. they've been facing it right in the sky above, as well as the ground below them now with multiple off the shocks being reported. we can go over to stephanie deco been looking at the situation. goes due on the turkish side of the border page is finally trickling into serial. on day 6, we've seen a un convoy go in. this is part of the usual un agreement that they've had before. some of the international teams that float in here to help with the earthquake are in and are starting to, to help out on the ground setting up 10 medical facilities. but of course, if you're talking about search and rescue, it's already the days are numbered and you know, it's

a fight against time. but of course we are still hearing amazing news that you have . 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 to help them being sent. it hasn't reached syria at all on the same scale. so whereas it's trickling and it's taking quite a while to do so. oh, here we've been tending about the good news that's been coming in with around 21. people have been pulled out of the rubble alive, and that's giving people hope that's giving also motivation for the rescue teams and time and time and then show some of that. but the rescue teams going on around this area. however, when it comes to the area, well, the white helmet says that they've had to already throw in the talent search and rescue their resolve correspondence and it's been finding out 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 pitted kia and syria. on monday, those who responded to the human tragedy, say the world failed, the people and the opposition controlled and cliff. 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 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. when we evacuated people from all the buildings

that we do, dangerous shelters have begun receiving people. and 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, were 4000000, depended on aid before the 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 confession linked to a deal that involved waiving some sanctions for quake relief. but so far it hasn't happened. the states opponents have long feared the consequences of so called cross line deliveries with 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 in the future to coerce them into providing

political concessions. 8th has started to come in from the bible, how a border with turkey, the only crossing authorized by the u. n. for 8 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 and the opposition enclave where more than 90 percent of people relied on aid before the latest disaster. santa could or else rosita. i let's get more on this now with the likes to have with us ruler. mean, she's the spokesperson for the you and hcr regional bureau in the middle east, africa. she joins us from damascus. good to have you with us. let's start. first of all, with the question of aid deliveries. the un was warning 900000 people need hot meals . how many are getting it tonight?

not as many as we wish. and you know, sammy did just earthquake was very strong, but not only very strong it hidden areas where the most vulnerable of families. many of them had been displaced, less than i explained. they lived in may sure chances and cancel flimsy, and building and building that had been damaged by the water or partially destroyed . so many of these building actually, even if they had not collapsed, their structure had been weakened and so they are in the risk of collapse and people can stay there. that's why we say more than 5300000 syrians need some kind of shelter. in order to be see, the needs are immense and unfortunately will, every single day this earthquake is unfolding even increasing on the last losses in life losses in property in infrastructure and looking serious under more strain in order to survive. i'm sure you've heard the

rules. there's been criticism about why is the relief not being sent through more federal border crossings or several crossing. why is it being concentrated through the regime? what's your perspective on that? yes and just a correction, it's not in the 8 doesn't most of the 8 that has been going to northwest in the past few years and even yesterday does not go through the regime areas or what you call the regime areas. and the areas controlled by the syrian government, it goes actually from turkey and the united nations relief agencies like usa had been authorized to send this humanitarian. denise items like food tans blankets, all kind of really had been authorized to do so by the security council. so that's what's happening. there is a mechanism in place that allows you to send this release into another country from turkey without actually that proven of the syrian government. now it's

unfortunately, the people here are stuck in a lot of politics, and that's why we call on people to put politics aside on everybody, the government, the opposition, the international community. politics needs to be set aside. we need to focus on the needs of these people on these people themselves, one to one kind of a do they need. how can we get them to them as soon as possible with as much as possible, and as many people as possible because many of these people live, either in far away remote areas are hard to reach areas either by this the store, the snow storm that had hit the region or by the earthquake that had damage. some goes on by the politics. you know, syria, if there's so many different areas under the authority or the control of different people and so many different crestline. we want all these barriers to be taken away and we want to be able to reach everybody that needs help. so many of them,

and that's why the international community must step forward with a concerted effort to remove all these barriers. and with some put, people need support not just today, not just next week, but the next few months. the damage is so huge that people will need months to recover. we have to and then what was demolished is not just peoples hans. the schools were demolished, hospitals were demolished at all to where demos, so just to be able to brink syria, back to where it was before the earthquake in both area, is going to be a huge job. and we cannot forget about these people 2 weeks from now, because we're busy with another crisis. we really need to stay. and we keep our attention to the needs of the syrian to be on because the syrian civilians have paid the highest price for this crisis. for the past 12 years and now they are paying it again. ruler. what's the bottom line

here? has a been able to reach all the areas or all lives at stake tonight. there is a lot of frustration and it's logical and it makes sense and everyone is frustrated . of course, i don't think it's safe to say that we have reached or the un or on this, not just the you and all these international organizations. i wouldn't say they have reached every single person who needs help, but every day that we are reaching more people. but you have to remember the priority for the past by this was rescue and search efforts. and this, for example, for the humanitarian agencies like unity are like unit length and we have piece we do not have the expertise or the equipment to do this job. we have the expertise to come to people with release, you know, with food, with water, medical attention. but unfortunately, there are so many other obstacles when they're in the opposition or it was government controlled area where you need heavy equipment, need expertise,

and they don't exist. and there are so many barriers, but we have to get in as fast as needed. many miles have been lost because of the political situation and the complexity of the situation inside syria. and we really hope that this will be kind of a painful reminder, unfortunately for people to put the politics aside again and really rush to help these people who have been like really stuck with a tragedy ruler means folks person to the you and hcr. thank you. so much for joining us. thank. well sir, night falls here. going to ask our camera man to maybe give us a little closer. oh, what's happening? as you can see, people are trying to stay warm anyway. they can. and some of those people, they come from buildings which don't exist. i was speaking earlier with, with some of them who said, we've lost our nephew's. we've buried family members. we've lost our homes. but the

operation goes on. we pan over, asked jowl to pan over to the other side. you can see the rescue seems are still working and incredibly, there have been a number of rescues to day people being pulled out of the rubble alive. but this make no doubt about it. make no mistake about it. you can see it on the faces of people. you can smell it in the air. this is a very somber, a very sombre time, a very heavy time whining on everyone's hearts as a nation, dick steve, to find hope. amidst the rubble, we're gonna hand things back now to doreen in del ha. sammy, thank you very much, start sammy's. i donna reporting for us from nor doggy aden. cherokee stella had on the algae, 0 news our. i'm john hendern of chicago. otto were this year, more and more cars are plugging in. now that super bowl we can. but what's the

a. hello again. the top stories on the al jazeera news hour more than 26000 people have now died after 2 powerful earthquakes hit your key and serial on monday, search and rescue efforts continue. the turkish president has been touring the destroyed areas. he's promised to rebuild the cities. a 4 year old girl has been pulled out allied from a collapse building in the southern georgia city of garden tap. more than a 130 hours after the tremors. earlier rescue team saved a family 5 syrian or digging gravesites to bery victims of monday's earthquake. nearly 4 and a half 1000 people have been killed there, many or waiting for news. a family member is still buried under collapse, building will move on to other world news and the un nuclear watchdog chief fail

grossi has wraps up his trip to moscow. and he's hell talk to the head of russia, state nuclear firm, rasa tom. they discussed the situation that ukraine's upper reach a nuclear power plant. they've also agreed to continue work on creating a safe zone. their repeated shelling of the plans, which is now trolled by russia, has raised concerns about our nuclear accidents. more on this summer. bon jovi is joining us from moscow to tell us more about what's been discussed and the way forward osama. but this has been 2 days of intense talks between the i e, a, the international atomic energy agency and the russian government on this very important nuclear power plant that's willing to the control of russian forces since march last fear. a fed rossi has been talking to officials of the foreign ministry as well as ross at on the erection nuclear company. they've been discussing not just ways to secure the stockpiles of nuclear material. that is there,

but also to secure the waste as well. the russians have been insisting that they have built safety practices and they're nearing completion of more structured around it, but at the secure situation remains precarious at best. and in the last few days, we've also heard more blasts and the danger of a nuclear disaster in europe. so largest are we continue the work of the situation, unfortunately, continues to be very fragile, very precarious. my experts, for example, today, had to be rotated, a group was waiting to go into the plant and another group to leave it. fortunately, this rotation east being delayed for the as he to asia, which is prevailing in, in the area where today,

very strong donations were been, had all of these, all of these say to us that we cannot lose any more time. so a nuclear power plant near the front lines in a war zone is a disaster in waiting for into many experts. this is something that the international atomic energy agency is trying to avoid talking to both sides. shuttling between moscow and to try and make sure that there is a thief, so not just prevent the into the, any incident to a, the fighting, but also make sure that other unrelated elements, including the water in the denito river. and that you required to make sure that the plant, the fund continues to function, are in place and both sides. the russians and the premiums abide by the rules so that they can avoid a disaster of nuclear nature. all right, thank you so much. a summer been dr. aid reporting from moscow. there been more protests in france against proposals to increase the retirement age. thousands of

people on the streets of paris after nearly a week. if nationwide strikes president, manuel macros, pension reform plans will raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. and your simmons is covering those protests in paris. that's where he's joining us from. so what was turn out like today, andrew when it looks to be quite big, the organizes claiming with at least half a 1000000 people have turned out here in paris. a lot of that is to do with the fact that the rail drivers have not gone on strike in this action to allow the trains to run, to get people in and out. furthermore, metro workers anata striking either so the subways are working at the general feeling here is boyd up is determined to take on a manual micron over these reforms are there is a feeling in the early se palace that they're going to ride out this storm. but it

does appear, the storm is getting larger because this is the 4th round of action. there are many more rounds of action planned and it will culminates. it would seem as a culminate, but it will certainly have a major point in the action on march. the 7th, when the organizers in all of the union, so are all together on this that they'll be bringing a country to a halt or with a general strike in all areas are public and private sectors all march the 7th. okay. and are thank you so much. andrew simmons reporting from paris in eastern time across the republic of congo, there has been fighting between the colonies, army and m. 23 fighters near the town, a saki that some 20 kilometers west from the regional capital goma. it comes a day after and $23.00 fighters advanced closer to sack a prompting thousands to flee their homes. east african leaders have called for an

immediate cease fire. awesome web as the latest we all me says it. now fi thing with m 23. about 20 kilometers m. 23 widely understood to be back by neighboring one. congress army said it's fighting rwandan soldiers. he up in the hell they run the denies backing the group now on thursday, when him $23.00 vices of tax, very close to saw k, which is just here. thousands of people, as you mentioned, sled along this road. and many of those playing that we spoke to that that can lead soldiers had initially fled as well that before reinforcements were brought in and the attack was repelled are going to stand aside. so we can take a look at where we are. but there's a barrier put across the road, a bronze of a tree, and the soldiers money checking every vehicle that passes. and every soldier that passes to make sure that there are no soldiers here, leaving the front line,

who on authorized to say, what happened on that day when this attack began. now if we take a look to the left of here, then the 10 has been put up outside a police station on the hear. a military court is missing. and 7 of those soldiers, he's a military prosecutors. they fled country to their orders. when attacked by m 23 the other day, and now being tried in that. cool. meanwhile, further up in these hills, mine for colton. it's a mineral that used in making jet planes is in high demand. m. $23.00 fighters is controlled these mines in the past and as their frontline advance in recent months, they've got closer to these these, these valuable mines, whoever controls it's done to make millions of dollars. it's been 3 years since to don's government band,

female genital mutilation. but the united nation says the practice is still happening here. morgan reports from her to for he met, has been a midwife and undermined near her too for more than 30 years. she's familiar with what her kid back holes and has used its contents many times to deliver babies. but before being banned in for dan to you, similar equipment to carry out what's known as f t. m dot even to me. i used to carry out the practice on young girls the last time i did so was in 2008 on my next. but that hurt me too much so i stopped. the government outlawed it, but people still asked me till this day to operate on the children. female genital mutilation has long been part of for dance culture. those who practice it believe it protect goes on there and reputation. but medical studies show that it contributes to complications during childbirth and increase the chances of
