7:09 am
regulations were ignored, but this question will continue to remain as the weeks and months go. one of the devastation is overwhelming on both sides of the border in northern syria. thousands of families are also grieving and mourning the death of their relatives. stuffy decker has more from 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 carried 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,

7:11 am
the turkish syrian border, are ruler. i mean is a spokeswoman further you on high commissioner for refugees. she says years of conflict and syria had made it even more difficult to help survive. is that 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 various areas controlled by this year and 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 you to send this relief 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,
7:12 am
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 hard 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 step forward with a concerted effort to remove all these barriers. and with support. people need support not just today, not just next week,
7:13 am

7:14 am
speaking were shaken twice by tremors above 4.0 magnitude. this is part of life here. now i'll am after. so some blood no longer the off aftershocks were, were 3 points quite for marked him to deceive him. others will sit us will continue for much longer. we are revaluate in the magnitude, 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 from room to supply to the halt, yet for the other. this means the damage tractors can still collapse, while other risks like snow for a white earthquake hit areas. this lie map shows all as quakes that whole 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,

this time over northern canada. canadian american forces were tracking the cylindrical object before a u. s. f. 22 aircraft shot down over the yukon. this comes a day after a flying object was shot down over alaska in the u. s. and just one week after a chinese balloon was downed off the coast of north carolina canadian defense minister anita and, and explained the government's decision to shoot down the object. the object was flying at an altitude of approximately 40000 feet, had unlawfully entered canadian air space and posed a reasonable threat to the safety of civilian flight. the object was down to approximately 100 miles from the canada. united states border over canadian territory in central yukon. it appears to be a small cylindrical object and smaller than the one that was down off the coast
7:20 am
of north carolina. or rosalind jordan has more now from washington d. c. because this unidentified object had strayed into canadian air space at some point on saturday. it was up to the canadian prime minister justin trudeau to make the decision to disable it. and for the canadian military to then gather up the debris and try to analyze it. it's not clear yet how long that's going to take because it's not exactly clear where over the yukon territory, that an american f $22.00 fighter jet shot the object dell. now this is the 3rd such take down of a flying object in either canadian or american air space. in the last 7 days. of course, the 1st was the now infamous surveillance balloon that was taken down off the u. s . eastern seaboard. a week ago, saturday. what is important is that both the canadian and the american military's

7:26 am
open the cultural center behind me. and he's promising to address the longstanding grievances of the timers, including implementing the 13th amendment to the constitution, which would give them great autonomy. this drew immediate protest from the buddhist clergy who have opposed the amendment from its passage. those watching the developments in the north are skeptical that autonomy is within reach. how is he going door handle the protesters? how is he going to tell them what they are doing is wrong at a time. he's being challenged for other reasons. right. so it's going to be very difficult for him to, to do that. 36 years after being introduced. the constitutional amendment is still an issue for many here. tamela said their leaders must be willing to go beyond it to truly address their grievances, when they're fernandez. are 0, jeff? no, no than she lanka. all their heads in more protests and france against proposals to

7:28 am
but the people here say they will accept nothing else but 62 years of age to retire . we're ready. wonderful. 042 years right now. i don't, i don't want to work more than death. this is where we are good. again, the pension reform, because it's another attack from nikon government, against a young people, but also workers in france. despite the scale of these protests, mark, chrome is adamant. he'll stand firm. the reform package had been the centerpiece of his election campaign last year for the presidency. and he's reported to have said that he wants to be remembered for these reforms. that could be a pronouncement he lived to regret possibly. on the biggest match and american football is due to kick off on sunday with the philadelphia eagles taking on the kansas city chiefs and super bowl parties by fans will see tens of thousands of tons of avocado crushed into guacamole. but getting them from farm to table can the
