an area starved of aiden international assistance. ah, hello, i'm sorry, i'm noisy in london, you're watching al jazeera, also coming off on the program, counting the pavement for a full day in paris. any of the demons, one of the many demonstrations targeting pensioner form in france. and we follow the hazardous journey of mexico's green gold, the head of the biggest sporting event in the united states. ah, indeed. 6 days after 2 devastating earthquakes, hopes of rescuing survivors from the rubble are beginning to fade. and on a visit to the api center of one of the quakes, the u. n. a chief martin griffith said it was the worst event to hit the region for a 100 years, a turkish present rush of type

o tuan said steps would now be taken to rebuild broken cities within weeks. he is denied accusations that building codes are not properly enforced. further, disaster does continue to raise questions about the construction standards in the country. meanwhile, tens of thousands of people are without shelter, their homeless sleeping out in the bitter winter cold. state medias reported that 48 people were arrested for losing 2 german aid organizations have suspended their operations. citing security concerns in total more than $29000.00 people are known to have died more than $24000.00 of those were in tokyo, more than 4 and a half 1000 in syria, but these figures are expected to rise. what happened here on monday reappear center of view of quote was the worst event in a 100 years in this region. we have a clear. busy plan to morrow,

the next road to give an appeal for a 3 month operation to help the people of georgia, richer mo, terms resort. and we will do some similar one for the people to serial. or we have a team of correspondence following developments, as had beg as an, as dan bull, sammy's a don and is in nor dia stephanie decker is at the syrian border, said m casio, blue is in the capital. ankara are so served as in cat ahmad marashi. the epi center of the 2nd quake. but we begin now with bernard smith, who's been reporting from one of the worst affected cities and takia. the only heat, the only warmth in the city comes now from the fires made from the debris of the homes, where these people once lived, survive as cling onto the hope that somehow their loved ones may still be alive under the rubber. well hasn't good tech in that means his wife, 3 children, and mother in law to each other mother, we don't need food aid. what we need is technical aid. i need my 3 kids to be

rescued, even if only one of my kids survived. it will be a hope for me to continue living. otherwise there's no point to keep on living. i don't know what to do, who will call me dad during age street after st. district after district. it took just 2 minutes of the earthquake to cause all this destruction. it's the most devastating, quaking turkey since $939.00. building regulations have come a long way since then. but enforcing them is a different matter. before the last presidential and parliamentary elections, the government grunted amnesty for building code violations. fining companies instead. now a 1000000 people are homeless and untouched. most of the city of 400000 has been destroyed. the challenge now for the government is trying to stop this catastrophe . turning into a public health crisis, the sick with smoke and dust. there is no sanitation. people still living on the

streets and their body still under the rubble. that is why there is such an urgent need to get people away from the disaster site and into temporary tented accommodation. there are now fewer visible rescue operations here. mother said, unfortunately, my country, which i love so much, has failed so disorganized and can't work at all. it's the 6th day and every day to different teams take part in the rescue. i haven't seen any officials here, neither from the government nor from the mayor's office. i don't want to say them anyway. i don't come here because they know we don't want to see them. this is, was left of the home house on had made with his family, michelle number and imaginable pain of losing a child or loved one is being felt by tens of thousands of people, inter kia this week. bernard smith, al jazeera and takia. it's miraculous that nearly

a week after the earthquakes are still people being pulled alive from the rubble of collapse. buildings search and rescue teams had been working around the clock in a race against time. algiers wrestle said, or is it the epi sent a ton of lawn? marsh is the 6 day and the time is definitely running out. however, are just a little ago. we have been able to confirm that at 5 years old syrian girl has been taken out of the rubble and she was alive and just an hour later, another girl also has been pulled out of all to the good robles and she also was alive. so these are the, the real moments of joy to day here for the families and people around the city has seen so much that, that definitely it needs such good news. and of course, it's given also a support go full to the families that are still waiting. however,

the disaster is still on fall. been here right over there. not far from where we are. you can see that the rescue teams how put a, a white blanket over there out of respect for the families, because now they are pulling an order that the body. 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 here just a little ago. i have talked to a woman, she says that they have varied already $111.00 brands and relatives. here we've been speaking about the thousands of buildings. roughly 627000 buildings were destroyed across 10 provinces. as a result of these earthquakes, ah, turkish police have detained 12 people over these collapse buildings in the

provinces of garcia's tap and shanley ofa. those taken into custody included contracts. as i said, bank has more in us now from istanbul, the hearing around 12 people have been detained about the construction of these buildings, not 2 of those. and it's done, but no one of those individuals just going, he's responsible for the construction of a 12 story building and tried to run $250.00 apartments. and that building came down during the earthquake. now he was detained for 2 is getting ready to leave one to negro hasn't touched on him, which was confiscated by authorities. anything diamond for relief to the media. here he says that he's buildings follow the regulations that he doesn't know why the building came down. the has, the buildings are still standing and that he had followed those regulations, but the public prosecutor has also protected pension orders and 29 of the individuals to ride in the construction of buildings that questions of and also the

government here around those building regulations. and the standards of construction. now back in 2018, there wasn't, i'm going to be around the building regulations. in some cases, people just paid a fine and experts had warned about those standards in the event of an earthquake. now those questions continue to remain in the government, deny that building regulations ignored. but this question will continue to remain as the weeks and months go on. is there a time we say don has been speaking to survive is in dire. this is one attack is worth hit towns. it's a really cold night out here, as you can see, and some of the displays to having to do well whatever they can to stay warm burning. basically whatever they can get their hands on. and over there you can see a rubble building. well that's the reason why at least some of them are out here right now. that was their home. now, the having defend themselves to a certain extent,

help is reaching them. we've just seen some meals delivered and so on, but it's a cold night. going to ask me if i can warm up here. it's an abilene. my son has a little choked again. he has, i'm a choke, so wash shall not really sure. so no child i was asking her to really cold night. how is she living out here? yeah, i'm a cloud evolve. evolve. yeah. what about finance? financial or the yeah. will that some of the about the talk she could. okay. julie to kim is totally about age. a cut up lot in is ordered on the shadow med market letter. that was, that was my problem. i was asking about her relatives. she's got relatives still in that rubble and building. we hope of course,

we hope for miracles and we hope they'll be able to pull them out. but this is a very difficult situation. and when you hear statements by united nations, officials talking about an overwhelming devastation. well, this is one overwhelming devastation looks like. and this is one overwhelming devastation on a cold night, feels like or devastations and overwhelming on both sides of the border in northern syria, thousands of families and grieving and mourning for the death of their loved ones. stephanie deckers been spending some time on the turkish syrian border. we came to the border to cover the resumption of aid into northern syria. but what we saw was body bag after body bag being carry towards the border in the bag behind. clearly a small child. these are syrians who were killed in the earthquake into gear. he makes space for more, their families sending them back home to be buried. the smell of death hangs

thick in the air here. within just a few hours, more than 50 bodies, at least. no relative wanted to speak to us on camera, but this is a grandmother and her 2 grandchildren. a father came to bring his own children, look at them, he told us clearly in a days the youngest is 5, the other is 12. he said, it looks like they are sleeping. the bodies of 4 children are in that vehicle in there about to be put into the truck to be taken across the border. they came here to flee war and had to restart their lives all over again. many syrians decided to resettle here in hattie province, which is one of the areas that's been hardest hit. the man holding the paperwork, drives them across the border into syria. he also didn't want to talk on camera. he works 20 hour days. he tells us most syrians who fled the war will

tell you that they dream of one day finally, being able to return back home. but not like this. stephanie decker al jazeera on the turkish syrian border, where the search and rescue operations have concluded, and serious rebel held area. but that survivors, those who managed to survivor struggling to stay alive because they're not getting aid more than a decade old old civil wars making relief efforts very difficult as anal. honda reports, the search for the living has ended in northwest syria. it's now about removing the bodies trapped under the hundreds of buildings that collapse following the earthquakes that 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, 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 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 where 4000000 depended on aid before the earthquake destroyed more lives. on friday,

the syrian government said it will allow a to reach areas outside its control in what appeared to be a confession linked to a deal that involved waving 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 in the opposition and clave where more than

90 percent of people relied on aid before the latest disaster. santa hood or else rosita, had the most hail to bring you after a quick break, including with the latest from shall anchor. the present is no stranger to protest . this reaction to demonstrations as he has north on the campaign trail is being criticized. ah hello flooding concerns return to new zealand as so what was tropical cyclone gabrielle makes his way across north carland is pushing towards the north holiday with the next couple of day. so read bonnie's enforced just around north and up towards oakland. follow that line of cloud and grey mistook of us live the storms. they are across tropical parts of australia as per usual. but for much of australia

the corona virus has been indiscriminate in selecting its victims. it's devastating effects of plague, every corner of the globe, transcending class creed and color. but in britain, a disproportionately high percentage of the fallen have been black or brown skins. the big picture traces the economic disparities and institutional racism that is seen united kingdom fail it citizens britain's true colors part to on al jazeera. ah ah, welcome back. he was out. is there a lie from london? the main stories now turkish prize urge of ty bud once has woke will begin within weeks to rebuild cities destroyed by the earthquakes. tens of thousands of people

are homeless without shelter. state medias reported that 48 people were arrested for looting. and 2 german 8 organizations have suspended their operations. citing security concerns. well, it is day 6 of the rescue operation. and some people all still being pulled ally from the rubble. but the number of people now known to have died has passed 29000. meanwhile, a dis, getting through to parts of rebel held, northern syria rescue efforts were hampered in the war tone region. with many people saying they felt abandoned. want to bring you some breaking news now. an unidentified object has been shot down. oh, the canada, a prime minister just intruder announced on twist. had that he ordered the tank down of an unidentified object that violated canadian air space. no rad command shot down the object over the yukon. canadian and u. s. aircraft was scrambled and

a u. s. f. 20 to successfully fired at the object at is the latest from prime minister just intruder, but we can also speak to rosalind jordan. she joins us from washington, d, c, and dirt. these. you are further becoming a regular occurrence. well, it would seem to be, although it is worth pointing out that the pentagon spokesman, general pat ryder, told reporters on friday that the u. s. military and the canadian military, which combined do make up on nor rad the air surveillance component of both countries. military's i've basically said that they are very much looking for any of such objects that may be coming into either u. s. or canadian air space. what we don't know is the exact timeline of when this latest object was detected by nor rad. and when the canadian government decided

that it needed to be taken out of service to put it, frankly, it's also worth noting that we don't know exactly where in the canadian air space over the yukon territory, this might have taken place. the yukon is one of canada's largest provinces, a certainly of the we do know that the canadian military has been charged now with the recovering and analyzing the debris from this latest star incident. this is the 2nd such a airborne ugh air vehicle to have been shot down near the arctic circle in the past 2 days. of course there was another such object that was shot down just off the alaskan coast. the northern alaskan coast near the arctic circle on friday, that was an announcement made by white house officials during the normal daily press briefing,

the recovery effort we are understanding is still under way for that to for the debris from that of vehicle as well. it's not clear which country or countries are, is responsible for the deployment of these of vehicles. there is a lot of ramp and speculation that it could be more chinese surveillance, aug vehicles. but there is no confirmation of that information. it also is probably going to be raising more political questions for the biden administration after it had been criticized for allowing the 1st balloon to basically cross the continental united states before shooting it down a week ago saturday. there's now going to be perhaps questions about whether the u . s. military act it too quickly in using an f 22 fighter jet to bring down this latest airborne vehicle in canadian airspace. ok, thank you very much. the latest on that story from washington,

rosalind jordan now social media uses in ethiopia, face restrictions this week after a crisis in the nation's influential orthodox church. divisions have sparked weeks of unrest. the church had called for a large rally on sunday, but that's now been cancelled after talks with the government, despite apparent de escalation tensions of far from over catalogue. as diane has more ah, scenes of the united ethiopian orthodox church after weeks of tension and unrest, visuals like this one in a d, a baba or a shoe string. we're one of the oldest christian bodies in the world. the crisis began when a group of rebel bishops created their own assembly in or am i a region saying they faced discrimination under the church's current system. they say their culture and language has been consistently ignored by the religious hierarchy. accusations, the church leaders have denied a set of
