12:03 am
$35000.00, so it's expected to keep on rising. as more areas, a cleared, almost $30000.00 of those killed our into kia while over the border in syria. more than 5700 people are now known to have died in turkey arrest warrants also been issued for more than a 130 people in connection with the construction of buildings. that collapse. but the government itself is also facing scrutiny over where the building codes were properly in force. well provide is, is this 10 year old though is spent almost 150 hours trapped in the ruins of the buildings. rescue isn't hard to pull us through a hole in the floor for emergency services. then take away the treatment. we have a team of correspondence following the story. natasha good name is an untouched. yeah. some is a done as in cat. i'm on my dash, or 0, sorry there isn't kills of old you border crossing and as big as in sam balls
12:04 am
versus stephanie dec reports from nor dia the scantrons grave diggers must work quickly. the noise from the heavy machinery disturbs what is normally a peaceful place. all of my booty asked lam waits with her surviving family for the bodies of one of her sons. his wife and the 3 children killed my son because they didn't send a crane to do the rescue. did my son have nothing to give this state? didn't he serve them? he was the best mathematics teacher in hattie. how could that conscience accept this? after all of his service, all survivors contend and prey by the freshly dug graves of their loved ones. not all of the dead have been identified. so they are buried here. it's respectfully dumb, but there's little ceremony a no mourners and sometimes not much left to bury. the victim is now a number d
12:05 am
n a samples of been taken. if anyone comes looking in the future, only the dad who been identified, accounted in the official death, told some estimate, saw that the identity of around half those killed in monday's earthquakes is unknown. the manager here, the cemetery, tells us these plots all the way up to the fence will take about 4 years to be filled up beforehand now in 3 to 4 days from the distraught survivors. the complaint we've heard regularly this past week that the government's rescue effort has been too slow. i learned that you are tyrants. you have no conscience. you took my 5 kids. how could you let a whole family disappeared because of a crane? they are still under the rubble for 7 days now. even if they got winded by the quake, they are already dead now. you killed them. turkey's president has admitted failings in the initial response to the earthquake. reggie type bird one says the rebuilding
12:06 am
will start within weeks. the frustration here is why did those buildings collapse in the 1st place? bernard smith, al jazeera is kendra, and as, as a good name brings us more from an takia and had a provence retina. apartment complex in antalya. and at one point were told about 3000 people, lived in the ruins of these buildings. in the last few days, 50 people were rescued, but one worker tells us at this point, the ground the rubble has gone silent and the odds he believes of yet another miracle rescue is pretty slim. search and rescue operations however, do continue here. they continue in 8 provinces, here in the south that have been declared disaster areas to into other provinces. they have seized operations. this is a mammoth effort. 233000 people on the ground trying to help turkey out,
12:07 am
recover, and with no electricity. very little food, no amenities. many people are still trying to evacuate, move to places that are safer, warmer and have food. about 144000 people have been evacuated out of these disaster areas. they've been moved to. 1 hotels and university dorms, in fact here and her kiya. all universities have pivoted to remote learning to accommodate the displace we spend some time today in the commercial district of and takia before the earthquake. it was a city of about 200000 people, a pretty bustling commercial center, a tobacco olives, cotton, et cetera. and we spoke with business owners who have faced alluding, we did see throughout the commercial area of soldiers with machine guns standing guard. we'd heard stories in particular about shops with gold that were being
12:08 am
heavily fortified to ensure that there would be no theft. not only has there been looting, there has been a theft of aid. thousands of trucks headed to the southern provinces are full of humanitarian aid. there have been cases of that aid being stolen. the ministry of justice says 57 people have been arrested, or no one is saying, if you've looted, if you're engaged in any kind of corruption or you exploit this disaster, you will be punished on garcia's tap, province, the destruction there is. i've a wyoming, as we've seen in other parts of the region, thousands of people that displaced homes reduced to rubble. algeria, stephanie decker has more nor the ye has been frozen in time. life changed here at 417 a on that monday morning. you can just get a sense looking at these buildings. this is an entire residential area. this has been completely destroy,
12:09 am
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 has absolutely changed where its ended . you can see the balconies, you can see the incredible cracks of the buildings. this is why also of 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 took in this building were 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 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
12:10 am
a 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 blocks, he see television screen, the 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.
12:11 am
the city of cam on marsh was the apis and have a 2nd earthquake. sammy's a down is there, and he brings us more on how the search operation has been progressing. when a body was pulled out from the rubble behind me, placed on the floor immediately. well, you could smell death in the air. you could hear the shrieks and the cries from, people assumed li relatives when they were met with the reality that another victim has been claimed by these earthquakes and emotionally taxing day. temperatures are now while they're crashing, they're falling as quickly as the moods lifts and falls here. but bare was some good news to day from gut ahmad marashi and hattie 8 people pulled out of the rubble that lifts the hopes that gives people hope. and we saw a bit of that. on that side we have had
12:12 am
a different story and with the nice thing is with the drone. well, you are able to see how really tense distress fall. and you can see the contrast in a small area on one side they've, you know, they stop for the moment on the other side with had a 10 situation where they were calling out. they're giving the calls of life under that rubble because they thought they'd found somebody alive. this is all going on in a very, you know, in a tight area, but it's packed with people as you can see on those drone shots. and maybe if we come back to the camera here, you'll be able to see what's going on here. people are camped out. people are trying to stay warm. these are people who have lost their homes. these are people who are looking for their relatives. and it leads to frustration,
12:13 am
although because he and morale as their senior associate fellow at the voy, nighted services institute, he joined me now from belfast. and can i ask you to describe perhaps 1st, what effect this is had on the country course. they're still dealing with the aftermath of these earthquakes, but how is it effective people are outside of the quakes or as an even turkish people like yourself who are living abroad? thank you a, a, it's been a devastating few days for all of us. we all have family members and friends and people, we know cities and towns we visited and watching those images obviously have an effect on all of us economy plus things have not been well in turkey for quite a while now. and obviously there's a lot of concern what happens next to turkish economy beyond the initial kind rushed to bring age to the areas that are devastated. what is this going to mean in the long run? for everybody? we are going to see millions of people moving within the country and perhaps some
12:14 am
leaving the country altogether. what is that going to mean for the social fabric of the country? yes, there's clearly going to be every construction paid. the header was how is this going to be funded distributed, and what would the politics of this mean for people? and i think at the moment what i see from my friends, family, and reports that i follow with a lot of rage, a lot of confusion and numbness and a sense that this is not fair. earthquakes are natural, but the scope of this calamity, the number of people who died shouldn't have been dis high. and i think that rage, that role feeling will not go away in the short term at all. you've really mentioned a wide range of different factors. there came a time when the economy was already deteriorating. there is now like to be say, accelerated brain drain, immigration as a result of this, how they're going to pay for reconstruction. and that process itself could take years, but perhaps most interesting will be the thing you just described, which is the questions that are being asked. we saw a clip of
12:15 am
a woman and condra and her tape province, giving this she was, she was crying really an anguish over the loss of her husband and her 5 children. and she blamed the authorities for this. what political effect is this, or going to have you know, it, it will. i think this is a watershed moment for president. are due on unprecedented position and turkish politics when he emerged as a party, not just in but the, a k p. it came at the back of another earthquake in $1099.00 and the economy fall locked in social and political fall lock that followed. it is this time to declare that maybe the elections, which are meant to be held in may not, might very well go back to the initial timeline of june. is this going to alter the outcome? possibly it is still difficult to enter into that guess in regards to watching preferences. and also you have millions of people displaced. walking might not necessarily have integrity in this immediate future, but i think even among people who have been quite faithful in their support of the party and have quite entrenched positions in turkey is culture wars. there are
12:16 am
legitimate questions to ask because obviously it's been 20 years since the last large scale earthquake that people have been waiting for an earthquake in the same geography and on one new stumble as well due to the fault lines. and clearly, some buildings are collapse of this haven't government itself. and we know that as you say, they've arrested building contractors. but nonetheless, and is the government going to be able, will they have to take some sort of responsibility for this? because building codes were vastly improved since that devastating. i've quake in 1099, but they weren't applied to all the buildings that were being retrofit at all the new construction buildings. so how much of a political hit is the president going to take from this? i think he will inevitably because the current presidential system gives him the executive powers. people are legitimately going to ask, why is it some of these building courts have been kept in some places in others?
12:17 am
i think there is going to be a lot more arrest and arrest warrants, and there's also going to be a protocol and done. and some of the media reports perhaps to contain some of the political full lot for this. but ultimately, i think press are the ones defining success or failure will be about whether he will be able to reconstruct demonstrate a strong response. the oldest constructing construction business is indeed turkey, which is very tricky for him politically. and whether he'll be able to meet the needs, millions of people who will now look up to him for on face. thank you very much. appreciate your time this evening. is the morale well, the president regime type, i don't want it out on saturday. that university accommodation will be used to how's those affected by the earthquakes students. and as don bull has been leaving the university dorms to make room for survivors, i beg reports after being told the news, the government plan to has
12:18 am
a quick survivors in university accommodation. the students in istanbul had to vacate their dorms at short notice the k their belongings and said their good byes celsius would not be moved online until the end of june. i didn't get to talk to the president, made a speech the same evening. we learned that our blocks will be emptied. we are sad, it's like the panoramic period. we will have online education. we did not want this and we have some credits and may god grant us to be up and we have nothing to do with making a sacrifice on our education is bothering me a bit to be honest from the local parents came to help their children pack and move, we'd really want to do our part to help the families in need. i am said that i'm not going to be able 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 then tie education system in the affected areas has been hit. but the government says it's determined to make sure there is minimum destruction. education. shouldn't copeland my year leverage by building additional
12:19 am
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 stance. we have preschool teachers and psychological counseling and guidance. 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 alice central and just live now. and tell us more about how many people will be moving into shooting a congregation and then also have plans for others if they made homeless now. well the simply the answer to that is they will move in as many people as they possibly can. now when we visited several university dormitories today, we were faced with students packing and leaving short notice. one of the dormitories has just to give you an idea around $1054.00 rooms. and each room
12:20 am
accommodates roughly 4 people. so that's over 4000 people if all the students leave . now, not all students have to leave those with family members affected by the craig, they can stay international students. medical students, as well as students that have no family, they can go and live with. they can all remain, but the government at short notice made this announcement and majority of students we spoke. in fact, we're happy to do their bit. they said ok, it's not ideal having to study online, but they understand the situation the country is going through. but they have also been criticism of the governments for policy and the lack of preparedness as some people see it. now, some academics and students took to social media to criticize the move saying that hotels and state guests has this should be used instead of studio accommodation. and also there's been criticism by the main opposition. the republican people's part in their leader has said, don't you jericho schools this could do more harm than good. and the use is all
12:21 am
that they have. and also questions of criticisms around use mobilization in the upcoming election for the opposition, but by and large by the people we spoke to, they were accommodating saying that they understand the situation also president of the want has promised to build a new homes intensities within a year and already the government has said that thousands of people that have been accommodated in hotels and guest has isn't a hundreds of hotels have opened their doors in the to period. 2 people affected by that quake and used in the winter months, hotels are preparing for the busy summer period. now what they're doing is allowing people to come in and tell your loan over 11000 people are staying in hotels. there's also been 10 cities set up in stadiums, but that's temporary accommodation as well as mobile accommodation. but the government does face a massive task over 6500 building destroyed and many of damaged and people can't stay there, but hundreds of 1000 people without accommodation. so they're really scrambling to
12:22 am
find solutions or to try and how's these people about the moment they're looking at university accommodation for university accommodations and hotels and guest houses . i thank you very much of all the latest from istanbul there. i said, bay well a u. n. a chief says the international community is it failed. northern syria. martin griff as met with the head of the white helmets that the turkish syrian border on sunday. he said people in syria, rightly feel abandoned. and he's now focused on correcting that failure to you, an aide convoys cross the bible, how a border on sunday. the un says it consists of 10 trucks that are kind tent supplies for the victims are so cider is following those relief efforts said it was rescued from the rubble of her home in north syria, which too was hit hard by mondays, earthquakes insult and trickier. as this 6 year old girl recalls the horror of her
12:23 am
experience, she still doesn't know how much she has lost grocer. alada at the building swayed from one side to another and there was distraction 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. fever today, her father and 3 of her siblings died, said he mad that the deal doesn't know yet. we'll so didn't tell her mother because we're concerned about their health stories or survival and death, or heard over and over again. the biggest natural disaster to hit the region in decades is the latest crisis for the people of syria who have experienced year of war displacement and hunger aid 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.
12:24 am
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, passions essential, health services have been severely disrupt it can be able to be 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 follow in, but the knees are on an unprecedented scale. united nation is coordinating is disaster response from government control areas where it says it's working to gain approvals from damascus for faster and more regular access to the northwest.
12:25 am
oh, but people dare say it is too late. countless lives, they say have been lost because there appeals for help were ignored by the international community. cutter has sent an 8 convoy and medical team to the north, west syria, where most internally displaced syrians leave. the gulf nation sees more with follow. 12 years of civil war has taken so much from syrians, 13000000 people have followed the country ought been displeased within its borders . millions a 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 failure to be buried in their hands. country. russell said that algebra did reg as a border crossing how thank consultant or can it be really awesome? usher, cali is with the international federation of the white cross in the red crescent. i spoke to him and iran and began by asking what he learned about the situation in north by syria, when he was in the capital damascus,
12:26 am
just earlier this week. the situation is certainly desperate. the situation we know now is much bigger than we ever imagined. i was there 24 hours after the earthquake . so there was a certain fog. those moments do not quite sure yet was a massive winter storm that did not allow access for many regions. the situation is that that a medical attention desperately needed clean, drinking water, food, shelter, warmth. this is what we're focusing on. the rescue and relief operations. the rescue relief in terms of extricating people from the rubble are now coming to an end. sadly, they were hardly any teams available. very limited, excavation equipment, very limited supply of fuel to run those excavation equipment, or the generators needed to have lighting,
12:27 am
and so on. so the operation suffered for this type of relief expected. where about is, why would you say was the worst hit bit of land or territories results the earthquake so far it seems that a level and region are the worst hit. but that can change when other areas are reached. so we run humanitarian assistance on a needs faces. certainly the scale of the needs isn't far exceeds the capacities of the syrian government and certainly far exceeds what aid has trickled through. now into syria, we estimate at this point not 10 or 15 percent of the needs required just for the basic survival needs for the next 3 months of arrived in syria. so we're urging donors to be even pleased, more generous, to contribute. put aside all the local political differences and focus on the needs
12:28 am
of the mother, the children, the children and families, apart from now, the need for that to be a concerted international funding effort. can you tell me about the of the challenges that you are facing? any work syria needs everything before the earthquake. the sanctions had hurt tremendously and they have heard the average family, unintended consequences. and these types of sanctions have destroyed the health care system, supply essential medicines and foods and clean water and maintenance. so public infrastructure, water, sanitation, and so on, and it shows weird battling color, cholera and syria before the earthquake. one of our main concerns now is a massive outbreak of cholera. i headed the color or response to the earthquake
12:29 am
response in haiti in 2010. at the time and right some months after the big haiti earthquake, a massive color caught on fire. so we're concerned this is not theory. we're monitoring this and we're trying to quickly get as much clean water as possible and sanitation facilities as possible. at the news, our life from london, more filter bringing on the program a tight run off fits to career, diplomats against each other in cyprus. as it picks its new president, a brazilian task force is taking on thousands of illegal line is in the, you know, mummy indigenous territory. but expanding them is not the end of that challenge. by transport ahead of the impacts defends a push to what are russians that can beat despite the war in ukraine and after a grueling season, it all comes down to one match. the kansas city chiefs base the philadelphia eagles and the super bowl.
12:30 am
ah ah. that despite it being the middle of february, the weather actually doesn't much like winter. most of europe there is cloud, clearly falling down the eastern side of what you see these larger security from that is where it is windy and there is some snow. but further west you go on. this is area of high pressure. generally speaking, speaking during the day is sunny and relatively miles frosty by night. quite true. this, this pole you can see, it does mean you've got gray sky is over germany and poland or austria and hungry throughout monday and possibly tuesday. but right on the edge of europe, we'll focus on that and really be talking about eastern side of ukraine and turkey . this is where you see some snow, but not very much on a fair wind. that's true. the wind is blowing down through the g and at some
12:31 am
strength, and it has been wind and more recently rain. it's been affecting places like miles from the central mediterranean. but as you can see, this whole air is generally fine in the sight. daytime sunshine rains coming in to southern portugal, trying to get into western island. but nowhere else. unusual weather for west africa, particularly for western sahara. martini moved into our g. m. morocco. that rain has been reco breaking place, isn't it still there? and then the wind, the ha matching is quite strong, picking up both the dust and the sand. ah, the latest news as it breaks. this is just a small example of extraordinary humanitarian charlie, facing the turkish old bar. it is now that the secret beat across this region with detailed covering light inside me i'm a be getting increasingly difficult on the military rule from around the world. the pentagon says that in recent years,
12:32 am
surveillance blue bonded over long and white. siri is dull his days with one man leading the country through uh, prism to alice out his loss legitimacy. he needs to step down. how has he retained control through over a decade of war? we examined the global power games of president bashar al assad. we believe assad simply carrying out iranian orders. what keeps you awake at night? many a reason that could effect any human eyesight master of chaos on al jazeera lou . ah,
12:33 am
welcome back our top story this hour. the number of people confirm to have died after mondays. earthquakes has surpassed $35000.00, but it is expected to keep rising as areas a cleared of debris. more than a 130 arrest warrants also been issued in connection with the construction of buildings that collapsed. but the government is also facing scrutiny of a building codes which were not enforced as search operations continue. there are also cases of people being found alive. this includes a 10 year old girl, a toddler, and a father and daughter. they survive a week sub 0 temperatures under the rubble. the when's a chief says his organization has failed the people of northern syria and that their right to feel abandoned un is, would be to open more border crossings into syria to get urgently needed humanitarian supplies or humanitarian organizations in syria of
12:34 am
issued or desperate plea for help from the u. n. e u u. s. and, and really all international humanitarian organizations to try and overcome the bureaucratic and logistical issues to get aid into the affected areas urgently. this was a joint statement that was released a bit earlier saying they are standing alone in responding to the catastrophe and aid and assistance which normally comes from across the border from turkey. hr has been disrupted by the earthquakes. they added that to man, humanitarian workers had died in the disaster. those who survived are working in difficult conditions. the united nations is estimated over 5000000 people in syria are in need of shelter, a staggering number in a regional ready home to millions of internally displaced. but the legacy of conflict is impeding a deliveries. much of the was damage is in opposition held areas earlier, one group, i ought to re a sham, refused to allow you and aiden from regime areas while turkish back rebels turned back
12:35 am
a supply convoy from the eastern kurdish majority region last week. so used hilderman is the middle east and north africa program, director of the international crisis group. he explains how urgent it is now to get a into syria. this is going to be a long term crisis. of course with homelessness and hunger, especially in north northern syria. so the need for the crossings is, is critical. now that we used to be more on a single crossing, the united nations could use from turkey into syria. eventually through russian pressure that was reduced to a single one. at the moment, the age is not even coming sufficiently through the single one. but once that wraps up, it would, well, what would be needed? what other ones would be needed now are other crossings, but what would need to happen is for the united nations security council to pass a resolution to open more crossings for the united nations. but it's not clear that the russians would allow that. so there is a, there's going to be
12:36 am
a delightfully hood of, of a real bottleneck sometime in the future. for me, for a coming from turkey into northern sherry. and the last hour the united states has announced that yet another and identified object has been shot down michigan. congressman at jack bergman said that the military had the commission and object overlake your own. this is the 3rd such incident in as many days earlier. the canadian prime minister said teams that were looking for the on identify cylindrical object that us fight to jack shot down on saturday. course this comes a day after another flying object was shot down over the state of alaska. just intruders said recovery trains on the ground, want to locate and analyze the object. it represented a reasonable threat to civilian aircraft. so i gave the order to take it down.
12:37 am
a canadian and american fighter jets were scrambled and an american f. 20 to successfully shot down. the object recovery teams are on the ground looking to find and analyze the object or other than jordan is in washington dc. with more details on the last canadian operation, these objects which are said to be the size of small cars, were taken down one in northern alaska. the other in the middle of yukon territory in canada. officials from both countries are trying to recover the debris to analyze the debris and try to figure out who launched these of vessels into the space, into space as it were. and then why they were trying to use these craft over canadian and american territory. this, of course, all comes more than a week after the u. s. military took down
12:38 am
a 3 boss sized on balloon that the u. s. says was a chinese surveillance of aircraft. the chinese have long to denied that they were trying to spy on the united states or in particular on u. s. military installations and operations. but this certainly has raised concerns, not just in ottawa, but also here in the united states. there are growing concerns that the by an administration isn't being transparent enough about what it knows about to these aircraft. and whether it is telling the american public in particular enough about whether they are indeed safe from foreign surveillance or from other kinds of threats. this is of situation that could become more political even though the by the administration says that it believes that this may be part of a grand chinese effort to spy on us operations. the head of the wagner
12:39 am
mercenary group says it could take 2 years for russia to fully seize control of ukraine's eastern regions of dummy scan. la, hans if danny precautions statement comes as the mercenary force claims to have captured the eastern village of the horror embankments. video allegedly shows wagner's soldiers in the village. the area near butler has seen some of the fist fighting for months. smaller than java brings us more or less from moscow. water is the group which are the private contractor labeled as mercenary army by the western powers who are opposing it with ukraine. and according to the russians, an important part of the russian security team, which is taking part in this special security operation. so this statement that it might take years is going to be a surprise to not just people who are observing things here in russia. and it is not likely to go down well amongst the military commanders who have been talking about how both the war has been going. the concentration of the conflict is around the eastern parts of ukraine. russian forces have been making steady gains
12:40 am
