philadelphia, eagles. ah, in it's nearly a weeks and 2 devastating earthquakes struck southern turkey and northern syria. the number of that is staggering. more than $35000.00 between both countries and that figure is expected to rise significantly. there are still miraculous stories of survival. at least 4 people are rescued on sunday morning. after spending nearly a 150 hours beneath the rubble, turkey, as vice president says, rescue efforts won't be called off until there's conclusive evidence that there are no survivors. meanwhile, turkish officials have issued arrest warrants for a 113 people in connection with the construction of buildings that collapse and monday's earthquakes. but the government is also facing scrutiny for not enforcing its building codes. and 2018, more than 39000 buildings were deemed unsafe. and the episode of common morass.

let's bring in natasha a name. she's covering the story for us. joining us from on taca. so from where you are, natasha. any hope of finding any more survivors? well i think these workers at the moment have to remain hopeful. it helps fuel these long days and very depressing ones at that. but we did speak to a worker a short time ago who told us at one point there about 3000 people living in these apartment buildings behind me in the last few days, 50 people were rescued, but the rebel has gone silence. and he did say that he thought there was very little hope that they would be able to bring out any one else from the rubble alive . though search and rescue operations have been halted in 2 of the 10 affected provinces. they've been diverted elsewhere, such as an takia in the province of had tie. and there is now an army, if you will,

of 233000 people working in search and rescue met, aches and yos, volunteers on the ground to help turkey or recover from what president erred on has called the catastrophe of the century. the vice president has said that in the week since these the earthquakes head morton, 80000 people have been rescued and taken to the hospital. there are about a 148000 people who remain homeless, but they've been evacuated and were told by the government that they will be given shelters. some of that shelter is in places like university dorms. all universities in the country have pivoted to promote learning to accommodate the newly displaced . the government is also pledging to rebuild homes within a year. now given the scope of the earthquake damage, we're talking about 13 and

a half 1000000 people and made 833-8000 people displaced and counting over a span of 500 kilometers. this is quite a daunting task for the government. while all of this is happening, natasha, we're been hearing of incidence of looting taking place in certain areas. what more to we know there is looting. there are thousands of trucks full of humanitarian aid that have been dispatched to the southern provinces and were told, there has been cases, there have been cases of fact, in fact, 57 people have been arrested. according to the ministry of justice. president irwin has said those who loot, those who engage in corrupt practices. any one who exploits this earthquake will be punished. he adds, this is why the government implemented a 3 month, the state of emergency. we are in the commercial district for much of the day here

and on taca, it is a historic at city, dating back to 300 b. c. it has been known to be very diverse and a very active commercial center with cotton olive grains. and we spoke to a few business owners, one man owns a shoe store, he says he came as soon as he could. he lost his home. he had his family have been living in a tent and he was only able to get to his stores on wednesday. and when he arrived, he said there was a group of 5 or 6 men looting the store. bear in mind, many people have nothing but the clothes on their backs, that includes the store owner who he spoke with. and he said, i understand. i told them take the shoes if you need them, but please do not steal and sell those please. that remained on deaf ears and he says he lost about $7000.00 pairs of shoes. now he and other business owners are asking for the government to deliver on their pledges to assist them. every one we

spoke to does want to return to i and talk yet they love this city. they say it's a diverse city of quote brotherhood. but they are saying they still know so many people beneath the rubble and they're not quite ready to leave. it would be in their minds insensitive at the moment to do so. thank you so much. natasha for that update from and taco bell. and in antalya, as natasha was saying, hundreds are of people and i was centrally funding for themselves among the rubble of what used to be their homes. here's bernard smith, look at what life is like at night in the ruins. 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, survivors 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, take each other. 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 kid 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 i'll 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 1939. building regulations have come a long way since then. but enforcing them is a different matter before the last presidential 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 bodies. 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. my, this if on fortunately, my country, which i love so much, has failed there so disorganized and can't work at all. is the 6th day in every day . 2 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, but don't come here because they know we don't want to see them. i made you. this is what's left of the home. her son had made with his family, is in your michel number home there wouldn't be unimaginable pain of losing a child or loved one. is being felt by tens of thousands of people into a kia this week. bernard smith, al jazeera and takia. and as we've just heard from bernard, more than

a 1000000 people have been left homeless by these quakes. so where they will stay as part of a growing crisis faced by authorities, someone to stay close to neighborhoods, they've known their whole lives other as one to leave, but they don't know where to go. if you make young each year your garden young urea, thank god we have food and 8 coming. they have helped us a lot. but unfortunately we don't have toilets here. and i have recently undergone surgery and a quick hit soon after. there is no medicine here and we have a child. we will all get infected. there is no toilets, everyone's doing it outside. the smell spreads everywhere and we can't sleep. as a family, we want to leave this place for calmness. i've been a new. 2 busy guy, but i lost my brother mother and 2 sisters in the earthquake. please get us out of here we are stuck. i don't know how we will live on long while the turkish president, roger po berto on announced on saturday that university accommodation will be used to how's those affected by the earthquakes. students and istanbul had been leaving

their university dorms to make room for a survivors. as unpaid reports, after being told the news, the government plan to has as quick survivors in university accommodation. these students in istanbul had to vacate their dorms at short notice the k their belongings and said their good byes classes would now be moved on line until the end of june, june gilbert. after the president made a speech the same evening, we learned that our blocks will be emptied. we are sad. it's like the pandemic period. we will have online educational. we do not want this and we have some criticisms that may god grant us the best. and we have nothing to do or making the sacrifice on our education is bothering me a bit to be honest. in the biblical sheltered. parents came to help their children pack and move. we do want to do our part to help the families in need. i am sad that i'm not going to go to school, but also the situation is pretty bad. so i know that families need a place to say so. yeah,

i don't really feel too bad. the entire education system in the affected areas has been hit. but the government says it's determined to make sure there is minimum destruction, education, trim copeland, my intervention by building additional tense. we will support our children's learning process and conduct a series of activities to normalize life. we have up to 141 tents. in the instance, we have 3 school teachers and psychological counseling and guide exam. all our teachers on duty inside the dorms, they're ready to receive evacuees. here in istanbul, most of the students we spoke to were happy to be doing their bit. not all students have to leave those with family affected by the earthquake international students. medical students, as well as the old with no found me, they can stay with can all remain. but this is a part of the effort and sacrifice the entire country has been asked to make to deal with this disaster. as not vague, i'll jazeera, assemble the via. let's victor on the see who's the regional media manager for

middle east and eastern europe at save the children. she's joining us on slide from and taco, thanks for your time with us on al jazeera. what's your assessment? as to how many people, inter kia, have now lost their homes because of the earthquakes and, and could be made homeless well, here in high providence, the scale of the devastation is pretty huge. generally, across the country, 10 provinces have been affected. and several people are still busy sheltering in their cars. we know many families who are sleeping in their cars or are eating the communal shelters under really terrible conditions. because if the freezing weather of is the increases the risk of hypothermia, we know, of course, about the complete lack of sanitation facilities access to say for her. and this is particularly concerned because it could of course, trigger

a public health crisis. so where particularly worried about children who are very vulnerable and research of illness and waterborne diseases. but public infrastructures are completely destroyed here in the talk. yeah. and we also know that several people this fights not having a place to stay anymore. don't want to leave because they're waiting for the bodies of their loved ones to be extracted from the rubble. this is very concerning situation and not just here in the city, the rural areas around and talk to y'all are the areas that are hard to reach that are security challenges. and this means that some of you know, agencies and rescue teams haven't been able to get to those community. but as a challenge, how do organizations like yours manage to carry out a proper needs assessment of the situation?

well, so we've been responding since the very own side of the crisis. we are coordinating very closely with, with the authorities and with local partners. so we are taking a day by day to make sure that we have the security clearance to access every area . ok, so we are taking it saturday, but at the same time we're making sure that we don't forget about those areas that are hard to reach. we have small themes that are having to more remote areas, have started some needs assessment. but of course we'll take will take several days . and in terms of all, obviously the lack of public health services. we have deployed and emergency health units, which will provides health services to the home of this homeless community. and in terms of what you see the government doing, i mean, we were just our reporter, filed a report which was illustrating how students and stumble have been leaving their

university dorms to make room for survivors. what other initiatives have you seen by the government and is the government doing enough? well, this, as mentioned before, the scale of the devastation is the man and the coordination effort. have you know, like they've started from day one, but it's proven to be particularly difficult both because the public infrastructure is completely demolished because the broad blocked because of the weather conditions. so it has been challenging. but the mobilization both of the community and of the local authorities has been has been almost immediate and we will continue to work together. 9 with the local authorities, with volunteers, with our partners here to scale up our respond. turkey, of course, is host to the largest number of refugees in the world, including

a millions of syrians and for many refugees before the earthquakes meeting, their basic needs was already a challenge. and this is about to get much, much worse, isn't that? that's absolutely true. we are particularly concerned about this community that was already a refugee crisis, especially in the areas this $1013.00 areas affected by that. the earthquakes and they are the communities where the levels of poverty are higher. the where are right, the reliance on humanitarian assistance and they had already been displaced multiple times. so this means of course that the cycle, logical impacts of this disaster on children would be just like compounded by the previous trauma. and here in a non fact, yeah, we used to run a lot of educational activities to provide education to some of the refugee communities, to the children. and we had managed to lower down the levels of school

dropouts. so another concern in the long term is that obviously access to education for some of this theory and children would be more difficult. we are worried that there would be more school dropouts, a negative coping mechanism put in the children. obviously at risk of, of exploitation around the rising, we'll leave it there, but we thank you so much for joining us from and talk you. thank you. 62 building contractors have been arrested inter key in connection with the collapse of buildings. a property developer was arrested on fridays. he tried to leave the country opposition. parties accused the government of not enforcing building regulations. my colleagues, i me say done is following recovery operations. he's in the epicenter ca, her mind mirage. he asked the local manager of the chamber of architect how he believes this situation was allowed to happen. so

why did they follow the regulations? the biggest problem here is because the buildings regulations are not being observed. let him check ran that to also know the process of being constructed. so not enough for that. and then by now little you don't get enough controls and not enough. yup. within it's not many things actually short moment after 2000 and the regulations had improved, treacherous and expand. no. so not only regulations, but also the controls while they're being constructed heavy, the can prove to a certain degree, but this actually has not had the right area to who buildings

because the, sorry, the structure is not what's hurry, who's responsible from this is basically those who actually prepare the cities can in the taxes and fees who give permission to those buildings so that that would be responsible in fact and, and this magnitude and or k like to think every nation around the world who want to look into data to be regulations. so when it comes to being protecting people from the damage they can code in the earthquake zone, the destruction is overwhelming. the town of nor a dog has been particularly devastated. stephanie decker is there, norther yee,

has been frozen in time life changed here at 4. 17 am. that monday morning. you can just get a sense looking at these buildings. this is an entire residential area. this has been completely destroy, but you also have other parts of the city where the apartment blocks still stand, but there are so structurally unsafe and if you go through them, there is an eerie feeling here of where life is absolutely changed where it's ended . you can see the balconies, you can see the incredible cracks of the buildings. this is why also are the army here is telling us to be very careful when we operate. because of the danger of them actually having pieces fall off. a lot of people we've been talking to saying that within seconds the entire earth shook the entire building, shook. in this building we're told only 2 people lost their lives, the rest managed to get out. and then of course,

we have the ongoing rescue and recovery operation incredibly, i'm in the last 24 hours or so. they managed to pull a mother and her child from this location on one of the workers here, one of the rescue workers is volunteer. he has 6 members of his family still left on the 2nd floor of this building. you have relatives, as we've been seeing across the southeastern region, waiting for news of their loved ones. this lady has been sitting in prayer for over an hour. and then now when we're walking through these apartment block, see, see television screen, chandelier curtains still hang. it's incredibly difficult to convey the sense of devastation, the sense of loss. one man we spoke to who has

a shop here. and also his from here said life is over in northern he nor do it, nor did he is no longer on the map. so we're very difficult to see how in an instant, everything has changed for over hundreds of thousands of people or more aid is trickling into rubble held parts of northern syria to you and aid convoys crossed the bible. how a border on sunday, the un says it consists of 10 trucks that are carrying 10 supplies for the victims, or so sorta as following the relief efforts at a border crossing. so did was rescued from the rubble of her home in northwest syria, which too was hit hard by mondays, earthquakes in salt and tortilla. as this 6 year old girl recalls the horror of her experience, she still doesn't know how much she has lost present alana, the building swayed from one side to another and there was destruction. everywhere i heard my mother calling my father's name. i then lost consciousness and woke up

at the hospital. i didn't lose any one in the quake, but i haven't seen any one yet. heck, fever today. her father and 3 of her siblings died for the name of the deal doesn't know yet. we also didn't tell her mother because we're concerned about their health . stories or survival and death are heard over and over again. the biggest natural disasters to hit the region in decades is the latest crisis for the people of syria who have experienced year of war displacement and hunger agencies warned the worst is yet to come. there is the lack of everything and her and, and, and of course it's cold. the winter is going on. so people need to be kept warm. and we've set up a small clinics just to look afters. people's injuries. serious health care system was already struggling due to the war. the world health organization

says at least 20 health facilities across the position control northwest, including 4 hospitals, have sustained damage. and while emergency medical services have been overwhelmed with trauma, patients essential health services have been severely disrupt it. i think even as you can see, part of the hospital was damaged. we lacked doctors and medical supplies to deal with such a big emergency. the needs are enormous and we don't have enough resources. aid has started to flow in, but the knees are on an unprecedented scale. tonight edition is coordinating is disaster response from government control areas where he says it's working to gain fools from damascus for faster and more regular access to the northwest. but people dare say it is too late. countless lives, they say, had been lost because there appeals for how put ignored by the international community cut out has sent them a convoy and medical team to the northwest,

syria where most internally displaced areas leave. the golf nation sees more with follow. 12 years of civil war has taken so much from syrians, 13000000 people, half of the country will been displaced within its borders. millions choose to come to turkey to begin a new, safer life. but now the bodies of those who died in the earthquakes are being sent back to celia to be buried in their home country. instead of just as a border crossing how to consult into the united nations. a cheese says the international community has failed and helping earthquake survivors in northern syria. in a tweet she said at the turkey syria border today, we have so far failed the people in northwest syria. they rightly feel abandoned looking for international help that hasn't arrived. my duty and our obligation is to correct this failure as fast as we can. well,

the head of the world health organization also says international community should be international community, should step up to support the aid relief in northeastern serial. we need to take that as to the next letter to reach the populations in all areas where they need more sanctions by the united states. ready of america we, when there isn't by the government for the un, for cross line home was made to increase cost border axis result is continuing. armenia has opened the border crossing, which are key for the 1st time in 35 years to allow aid for earthquake victims. the 2 countries have had no diplomatic ties for decades. this crossing was last used in 1988 when armenia was hit by an earthquake,

and the turkish red crescent stepped up to provide help. and the greek foreign minister has become the 1st high level european official to visit turkey in the show of support comes despite decades of strain ties, because then the eyes promised grease would do everything it can to help turkey a f o o i have an order for my prime minister to assure that grace will do whatever i can to support to keep in this difficult moment. other than that, i would like to agree strongly with admitted said earlier that it is not necessary to wait for natural disasters to improve our relations. well, freezing cold weather has been hampering rescue efforts right across the region. raw has more from our weather studio that system problem weather wise over the rescue areas. the search area is the low temperature is overnight, it will be sub 0 for the most part. once again, this is colton, should be as to what's happening in the sky. there is a change in the weather in northern turkey called breeze across the black sea means

though in the northeast. but it shouldn't come any further south immediately. at least there might be a hint of more clad in the sky and the days to come and pick 2 areas to have a look at. first of all, let's take the city of aleppo in sylvia. temperatures remain stubbornly below average. in fact, that going down a little bit, so it's frosty of out way. wouldn't be on average. we have a breeze during the sunshine on tuesday, maybe a bit more class on wednesday. and it's at these turkey. we've got a similar story, but attempts to read lower compare with the average, and they remain consistently sub 0 over night. as to whether by day will here is tuesday, and here's something else forming in the north of turkey. that snow will spread through the higher graham, you might get a flurry or 2 as far south as for example, got it. but if not, just bill it with the cloud. but basically it's still low temperature, especially at night. that is the risk. so i had only out of there a news, our berlin votes for the 2nd time and 18 months will be live with the latest on exit, also firefighters, and she'll, they say they're beginning to get

a handle on hundreds of fires, which have killed at least 24 people ah ah, there isn't weather falling at the sky in the middle east. i have to say, but if you focus on the east meadows right in turkey and see rates actually looking benign by day, the sun is out in temperatures. do rise significant. there is snow in the northeastern part of turkey as well that will spread slowly. eastwards might increase the cloud result on wednesday, but no more than that. but this, the stubborn lowness of the temperature is colder by diane. but out, and it should be paid with the average any significantly, frosty overnight. now the big picture give you some obvious lines of rain here running through iraq into iran, and then into saudi arabia. doesn't look particularly heavy though you might get

a few flashes of lightning in some parts of turkey. and the breeze coming with it will tend to bring the temperatures down. for example, though, house is quite hard at $26.00, which is a temporary event. you'll notice and that rain is persistent around the south of turkey bathroom and may be que wait today to snow over the hills. raised the problem in mozambique setting of this particular river that that's dim reporter, but you'll notice the whole of bizarre beak is subject to yet more heavy rain during monday and the eastern side of south africa, bits of botswana as well. and zimbabwe are also effect that is during monday on tuesday, i'm afraid it's the sort of repeat performance ah, but from the al jazeera london, rural call center to people in thoughtful conversation, i can be in my culture. i can still raise my voice against patriarchy with no host, and no limitations. the pandemic actually exposed to the injustice in our society.

part 2 of asthma, khan, and hath, on our cat in hospitality, we have protected these men who are violent and bully, studio b. unscripted on out his era. this is one of the most astounding that logical revolutions in all of this make our planet great. today, we have to meet you 2 emission targets liquid casa lated message. i'm in motion. the need to be mind to where people are just talking about wind and solar, is it that's going to solve the problem? it won't. the world of business and commerce is driving. energy transition is the promise of clean energy and illusion. the dark side of green energy on al jazeera. oh,

a little bit on the top phones on the al jazeera news, our more than 35000 people are confirmed. insert syria and church. rest recovery operations are continuing nearly a week after thousands of buildings were destroyed. millions of people have been left homeless and more than a 1000000 people have been made homeless by these cliques. it's a growing crisis is authorities in turkey and syria. try to find places for them to say katara has donated 10000 mobile home health aide is now trickling into rebel health. parts of northern syria. rescue efforts were hampered in region already devastated after years of war. many saying that they felt the bounds and will take you over to berlin because polls have closed for the german city state 2nd

election in 18 months. the previous election was held on the same day as the berlin marathon and under cove with 1900 locked downs. so a court ruled it invalid due to irregularities. let's find out more with domini kane. he's joining us from berlin. so what are the 1st exit full suggesting dominant? this is the election that few people in the governments of berlin at the state level anyway, really wanted to have a now we know why? because the exit polls suggested every policy of the 3 that were in government up until today. well, they have lost votes up until sunday. that is of last votes in these exit polls and the one as it well, when a is the christine democrats, the conservative party, as it were in germany, in opposition, both in this city state and in the national palmer. well, there are by almost 10 percent of the vote at around 28 percent of the votes, sort of being cost or cost for the christie and democrats. and they believe that this is as it were, a way of the electorate here in berlin,

endorsing the sort of pragmatic policies. they say that this city should have implemented. so it's a very interesting situation right now. the 3 parties in government, in this city, at a state level, but also in government in this city nationally, have all seen folk chairs go down and the conservative opposition policy both in the city and federally has seen its foot go up by 10 percent. so then, what does this mean at the national level? well, many of the national politicians from all parties will be looking at this and saying to themselves, what does this mean for our policy? first and foremost, the christian democrats say this is exactly the sort of endorsement of their policies, which they believe at a national level has been clear to see for some time, the leader of the christian democrats, the national level. the mouth says,

clearly berlin is want his party to form a government. we'll see if i can actually happen. and then for the other parties, well, it's much harder for them. the green party is saying that they believe they have a chance of, even though they may have come 2nd or 3rd in this vote. but maybe they've got a chance and lead some sort of coalition of parties who came 2nd, 3rd and 4th in this poll. and then looking further down the line, it's clear that there is one issue that standing out for many people in germany right now. it is the approach of that government towards the war and ukraine and what decisions have been made by which ministers and what it means for that country . certainly 3 parties in the federal government of this country have seen their vote shares go down, and the opposition party has seen it shall go up very considerably. and there will be many wondering what does that mean going forward, given that the opposition party of mr mats, the kristian democrats, say they have

a clear, pragmatic policy approach for the country. thank you so much. dominic reporting from berlin. israel says it will step up its raids against palestinians and occupied east jerusalem and in the occupied west bank finance. i was made ahead of the weekly cabinet meeting after an attack on friday it palestinian rammed into a bus stop, killing 3 israelis. sarah higher at the reports from west jerusalem don't raises how they've been operating recently. israeli forces move in fast while palestinian fleet in the last few weeks. this is become a daily routine and occupied easter re swim and the rest of the occupied west bank . this time, the ceiling, the family home of palestinian has then got aka. on friday the father of 3 slammed his car into a bus stop near the legal settlements of remote. 3 israelis were killed,

including 2 sibling children. on sunday, the cabinet meeting turned its attention to the frequency of the time 3 in just 2 weeks carried out by young palestinians, including a 13 year old or from occupied east jerusalem, and all operating alone. so the new is ready. government wants to send a strong message to limited to the appropriate answer to terror strike hard and so deep now roots in our country. accordingly, the cabinet is meeting today to prepare for an even broader action against those carrying out terrorism and their supporters in east jerusalem and today and samaria, preventing as much as possible, harming, goes uninvolved with family and friends of the attack, say they to all being targeted and what they've described as collective punishment through mass arrest rates and demolitions of homes. thousands of palestinians have already been killed by israeli forces this year alone. israel's most right wing

government hasn't been in power for long, but it's already facing major hurdles apart from the palestinian issue. it's also facing accusation. i'm trying to undermine you to this story and move the country away from democracy. not today saw the biggest nationwide anti government protest in weeks. more than a 145000 people stood in cold weather here, the 1st of several committed to curb to just re powers. some have called for an end to israel ruling coalition, which was bar right, ultra nationalist party, including ministers with convictions ranging from racism to the prime minister himself. his own trial for corruption. the bonds benjamin netanyahu has dismissed the process as a refusal to accept the last election result. the total height of i'll just 0 west jerusalem. the u. s. federal aviation administration has closed and quickly reopen

the aerospace above lake michigan. meanwhile, the canadian prime minister justin trudeau says, teams are looking for the an identified cylindrical objects. a us fighter jet shot on saturday earlier, another flying object was shot down over the u. s. date of alaska. and a chinese balloon was down off the coast of north carolina for bringing in rosalind jordan. she's joining us from washington dc. so what is going on here, rosalind? and what is the latest airspace was closed? been opened again? well, the reopening of the air space over the northern half of lake michigan, which covers the area just north of green bay, wisconsin, which in itself is about a 3 hour drive north of the city of chicago. that's only being reported by reuters . there are still other reports indicating that this air space still has been closed and that this is a national security zone. until further notice. this is

nfl football high school football embrace, the black one back down. did you say the athleticism but they show that they can build. they show that their leaders and show that they're smart and know how to command a football team. so today it will be very start to see the 4th quarter back, a black or back to one syllable, where the winds great. kansas city have been a top team for quite a few seasons now. how important is it for the legacy or tennessee to win this championship? or patrick, mom starts with that number 15 for 2 chiefs. he's already been to a couple of balls. he's one in v p if he wins the 2nd super bowl today. and he can simon himself as the base of lead going for he has a massive a long term contract with kansas city chiefs. so it's a, it's a lot of state for the cheese in terms of especially with tom brady retiring. and in some civil balls, the league is looking for someone to take command of the new face of league and today at some homes could be. and what about philadelphia off the decades without

a super bowl? they could have 2 in 6 seasons. what would that mean for them? it means that you had it constructed, the team is religous toughness, our cap error to bill a dynasty and to win with 2 different quarterbacks in that time period is the success of it to your organization. how roseman the general manager is a great doesn't done a great job of constructing a chain. and it will be 2 different cultures when it was supposed to show a shows, a foundation and culture that ingrained or if a lot of egos a day when a 2nd championship at time here. ok, and full casual international fans. what would you recommend? they look out for the to go back, you know, be great. i love it. you know, you mentioned it earlier on the 2, great by brothers who were playing a book, the hall of fame players and jason kelsey and travis council, jason the center of the eagles who won the best centers in the lee and is running on the other side but it's the cheapest one, the greatest titans and again. so we're going to match up would be great. you know,
