turkish police have detained 12 people of a collapse, buildings in the south eastern provinces of gassy enterprise, and go for those taken into custody. included building contractors as big as mona, from istanbul of a hearing, the round 12 people have been detained. the construction of these buildings, not 2 of those in the stan bull, no one of those individuals maxima 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, to getting ready to leave from one to negro, hasn't touched on him, which was confiscated by authorities, anything diamond or just the nick to the media. here he says that he's buildings follow the regulations that he doesn't know why the building came down. he has the buildings are still standing and that he had followed those regulations. but the public prosecutor has also put the pension order, the $29.00 of the individual surrounding the construction of buildings. now

question of and also the government often asked of 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 were ignored, but this question will continue to remain as a weeks and months go on. when earlier we spent to saw the also a professor at cutting house university, he says investigating building contractors could unveiled a much larger chain of violations. obviously, these contractors, i mean 1st of all, they're innocent until proven guilty. but they may have not followed the regulations to the letter, and that would be their responsibility. but they are not the only ones who would be responsible if such is the case because they are those who approve those plans.

they are those who are supposed to inspect us, plan goes, act. there are people who give them the permits are also co conspirators, if you will. should this be proven to be correct that they have not follow to the, to the letter? the regulations that makes it building codes or are tender codes have changed over a 150 times in the past 20 years that there had been quite a number of misty's. and of course, all that made cheating, actually a very valuable thing because then you make a lot of money, you don't follow the code and then you actually pay a little penalty perhaps. and then you get away. ready you get away with it and live right now. you get away with murder literally. well, let's go to another of turkey as worst towns now, 0. somebody said dan has been talking to survivors in nor die. it's a really cold night out here. as you can see,

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. well with several powerful aftershock. since monday, tremors are also being recorded in neighboring countries, experts or calling for more quality control during construction of buildings to reduce risks in the quite prone region. and em, costello as more now from uncle hutch continues seismic feta vidal input to measure earthquakes. it is monitored, processed,

and assessed in real time here at a turkish disaster management agency. turkey has had some 5 major seismic fall plants risking 71 percent of its population and 6 to 6 percent of its landscape, the largest. so those triggered to stronger earthquakes on monday, causing death and destruction in the east. and while we're speaking were shaken twice by tremors above 4.0 magnitude. this is part of life here. now, holland, after so some blood the longer the off, aftershocks were were 3 points quite for marketing to to see the members will sit, us will continue for much longer north. we are revaluate in the market to not dimensions of the affected area. earthquake on line with the information from our field to to go to this amazon. what we see is a much bigger disaster early on to supply to the whole year for the other. this

means the damage structures can still collapse, while other risks like snow for a white earthquake hit areas where sly map shows all earthquakes that how occurred since monday is devastating tremors. just in 15 hours on saturday, turkey has experienced 330 earthquakes, and the country has been jolted. 2305th the 6th time since what the turkish president called the disaster of the century, shows you might get a drug issue. but whether you're a girl or not, no need to be stern or exaggerate why say, this is the biggest tre calling you on that. so on point for magnitude was approaching was area, you know, i'm paid attention. as scientists say, you can't resist nature but built earthquake resistance, cities, a joint responsibility of the state. people and the local administration's seen m k,

a solo al jazeera and clara for rural. i mean, as a spokesman for the you and the high commissioner for refugees, she says years of conflict and syria have caused extra difficulties in helping survivors. most of the 8 that has been going to north west 30 in the past few years and even yesterday does not go through the regime areas or what you call the regime areas. the areas controlled by the syrian government, it goes actually from turkey and the united nations relief agencies like you and i see i 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 us 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. what, what kind of 8 do they need? how can we get them to them as soon as possible with as much 8 as possible, and as many people as possible because many of these people live, either in far away remote areas or hot to reach areas either by this. the storm, the snow storm that had hit the region or by the earthquake that had damage some boats on by the politics. you know, syria is 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 stepped forward with a concerted effort to remove all these barriers and with support. people need

support not just today, not just next week, but the next few months. the damage is so huge that people who are need months to recover tougher, so break it down to 0. when we come back with what's called protest as an albanian capital to throw smoke grenades the government building and we'll hear from one midwife who refuses to carry out female genital mutilation in sedan. and one of the outlaws practice is so hard to stand that more on that end of us. ah hello. well, it's looking pretty changeable for japan over the next couple of days. pulses of wet weather, thick of bands of cloud, just squeezing their way out of central china rolling across the china. see this next area or a cloud that gathers,
