4:02 pm
in me i, [000:00:00;00] i
4:03 pm
me ah ah, for one week ago the ground here under my feet shook devastating to nations, killing 1000 and burying a region in grief. i'm sammy's a bad live from no mark one week since a devastating event that impacted the entire world. let me start with some facts so far more than 37000 people, all dead and those sort of clear and serial more than 90000 have been injured. millions of people have lost their house. the president of perky says, hundreds of thousands of buildings on now. i mean,
4:04 pm
habitable new challenges are rising, food is reaching people, blankets are reaching people here in this fathers, in many areas, the government doing what it can, what it can. but that's not in the taishan, the need for showers the need for toilet. so i was talking to people here and they say, we just need a place, a warm place to have a shower. it's simple challenges like that, that a worrying aid workers. but it could turn into a serious health concern. well, let me get the drone operator that give you some shots from around this area to understand why we're here right now. this is not only the, the center of the 1st earthquake that struck full 17 am. monday, a week ago, this is also one of those places where we believe they still may. the survivors under that rubble, under that rubble,
4:05 pm
they could be 10 people were told now, still alive. we hope everybody is hoping. the people you see gathered around here, they're not just curious onlookers. many of them are relatives of those people trapped under the rubble. we had things start with quite a hopeful start. a young girl, 18 years old sod that was brought out of that rubble allies and she said, my sister john is in there. help her get out. the rescue teens. he has struggled eventually. they reach chet on, but sadly, they brought her out in a body bag. she was dead. it's been a very tense time. it's been a very difficult situation, not only here, but right around this country and across the border into here, after what was a devastating earthquake. alex hale, bryan,
4:06 pm
looks back at that 1st moment that set in motion a terrible chain of events. the about full 17 am local time mandate. 6 say very, the security camera in the driveway and see the se kia captures the rumble, the and the power going out while in another city, 2 hours or so further east, the earthquake sounds like gunfire and gas, he and his nurses rushed into the neo natal wood to stop the babies, incubate it's falling over. witnesses say the sway and roll of the earth lasted 2 minutes, but felt like a lifetime. and as buildings topple ah,
4:07 pm
crowds rush on to the streets while ronald thought of it to save themselves soon surveyed the damage. good. they confronted with chaos. robin one good reserve. the magnitude 7.8 tremor was one of the largest ever recorded in turkey. ah, it was shallow and powerful and foul as far away as greenland. i want another oh wow. across to kia and a neighbouring syria, the rescues began immediately under torchlight and in difficult conditions. ah, ah, ah! people digging desperately through the rabble with their bare hands,
4:08 pm
i engender the northern syria. rescuers from the white helmet group held out a young baby who, being cradled in the arms of her dead eldest sister, rather go with her. and his 1st light broke the scale. if the disaster became clear, we've got a team of correspondence covering this story right across to the care, but we're gonna start with 1st is common mirage. that, of course, is the at the center of the 2nd earthquake that hit about 9 hours later, a 1 24 pm. stephanie becca is standing by foss lie by stephanie. what's happening with the tension, the anxious way you had going on? there is people who are waiting, hoping for their loved ones to be pulled out alive from the rubble. they're ah, well, we have a, an active rescue operation on going here. you've got the spanish rescue team here.
4:09 pm
you've got turkish miners working to dig to tunnels, trying to get to where they have identified using thermal imagery. also using the spanish rescue dog i was told by the yeah, the medic part of that team thing the dog has never been wrong. identifying at least 2 people alive, they believe it to be a mother and a baby potentially. a 3rd is not confirmed time is if the absence at the same time, it is a meticulous tasco just to show you now have the police working alongside miners on one side and they're bringing out level. on the other side, you have the miners also in this spanish rescue team. i just want to go further into this building. the people they're trying to rescue or not in this building. they are buried. it's believed in building about $22.00, building down a 7 story building that crumbled on each other. so this is a potentially extremely good news. next to us are countless cameras. it's not only
4:10 pm
the relatives that are waiting for good use, it's turkey, it's the world, it's off. there's been so much death and destruction throughout the southeast. it's unbearable. i mean, even it's, you probably see a lot of dustin via there's everything around us that you can't see because of the angle we're filming has been destroyed. you have full dozer work. this is why it's so dusty. it's incredibly windy today. but this is another city that has been leveled where life has just been sucked out of it. so something like this is what everybody, desperately needs the timing. i've been asking the teams, it's impossible to say because it is such a sensitive work and we still have active art to shocks over $4.00 that really do shake the ground. this is hindered some of the tunneling that they did last night. we to have the aftershocks, we felt them where we were 40 kilometers away. so it is meticulous,
4:11 pm
but there is hope that there will be able to, at some stage, pull out at least 2 people alive to a very active rescue operation, which is very rare at this point. 7 days on it is very rare. it is still going on in a few places that stephanie said that the trying to pull people out alive when there's a point that we need to talk about that so far, official say over 100000 people have been rescued from buildings. that of course, is good news, but it also makes you wonder and worry about how many people, if 100000 were brought out the building, how many people were left inside been asking that question for the last 2 days to officials. have you gotten the idea? they say we simply don't know. there's a lot of people, potentially tracked under the rubble of buildings. what i'm going to try and do now is try and bring all drone back into play. now, because we've,
4:12 pm
we've had news of the nato secretary general saying the allies are going to start providing to care with support for housing. this is why take a look on the drone pictures here of what this area new looks like. literally every house you can see if it hasn't been toppled, it's been damaged in some way. and this is not just a lot of every part of the earthquake zone that i've been to so far looks pretty much like this. there's a lot of housing that is needed. i'll talk about housing that's needed. one of the measures which officials are resorting to is turning to a turning to housing for the dorms of university. we're going to get there in a moment with acid bag. but before we do that, we need to talk to bernard smith, his life for us, from the scandal on about counting the bodies, bernard this in,
4:13 pm
there's another potentially worrying development coming when it comes to the body count once they get through identification, right. hey, sammy i but 1st of all, we're in an indian field hospital sets up in a school across away from the main hospital which is closed because it's no safe to reopen the structures that but it's still structurally unsound in there. we have $99.00 indian medics, 13 doctors amongst them, plus nurses, and they have been treating more than $1500.00 patients. the doctors here say that actually now they started treating trauma patients. but now they're moving on to public, to infectious diseases. and that's because there is a lack of sanitation, they'll keep operating here, they say as long as they need to. but yet one of the challenges for, for the government or one of the challenges they face,
4:14 pm
not only is the public health for the living, but identifying the dead, the official death toll only counts those who have been identified. and about half of those who have been killed in this quite have not yet been identified. as scantrons, grave diggers must wear quickly. the noise from the heavy machinery disturbs war is normally a peaceful place. all of my booty, osland waits with her surviving family for the bodies of one of her sons. his wife and their 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 served them. he was the best mathematics teacher in half a. how could that conscience accept this, after all of his other, all survive as contained 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
4:15 pm
respectfully done, but there's little ceremony a no mourners, and sometimes not much left to bury. the victim is now a number d n a samples of been taken. if anyone comes looking in the future, only the dead who've been identified, accounted in the official death, told some estimates are that the identity of around half those killed in monday's earthquakes is unknown. the manager, the cemetery, tells us these plots all the way up to the fence would take about 4 years to be filled up beforehand now in $3.00 to $4.00 days from the distraught survivors. the complaint we've heard regularly this past week. the government's rescue effort has been too slow. that you are tyrants, you have no conscience. you took my 5 kids. how could you let a whole family disappear 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. turkeys president has admitted failings
4:16 pm
in the initial response to the earthquake. reggie type heard one says the rebuilding will start within weeks. the frustration here is why did those buildings collapse in the 1st place out now the left hand colonel from union army in charge of operations here says that the local health system has essentially collapsed. um, that is why all of the patients coming here. they don't have any immediate plans to check it to leave that alone leave. they say when the number of patients begins to level off, well, in fact the number patients they're getting is increasing. no sign. yes of that number leveling on. sammy, thanks so much burn it, not only a challenge when it comes to where to put all those patients burned was talking about a once treated where to house them. many of them lost their homes. as i was saying, let's go to, i said vague is life for us in this stumble. what kind of measures our source is resulting to us at
4:17 pm
a university will go online and the dormitories will be used you. how's those victims of the also there's been questions and people went onto the construction of those buildings. now the ministry of justice has said that there was special commission will be set up where a prosecutor will start investigating any crimes linked to the earthquake, specifically issues around construction. now what they've said is that they want to make sure that they get cancer and that any evidence is destroyed. that's all they've also said the commission will be made up of architects, construction engineers, geologist, as well as other experts to begin to these regions will be sent to the environmental ministry testing to investigate a now on the back one individual by the name of young kate was detained in the early hours of this morning, got to spend will airport apparently he was leaving for georgia. now,
4:18 pm
what it is alleged is that he is that what he construct buildings in the city of diana and many of his buildings. hello. that's the allegation. now the deputy president has come out and said that $134.00. so i mean investigation going into those around the recovery and the clean up and the ration continue with the evidence, isn't distorted, the prosecutor gets that every been so they can get to know that negation against the ultimately stuck with them. the building regulations in place and back in 2018 . there was an i'm going to the rest some of these people that did up price or didn't. a court didn't build according to the regulations defective name in the domain to show that they are taking action and they have a trust. the policies that university students do not have to be online and they don't which will be useful. earthquake,
4:19 pm
people have been affected by yesterday and we visited some of those dormitory, both after being told the news, the government tend to have 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 goodbyes is 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 and we have some credit and i got granted 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 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 family needs a place to say so. yeah, i don't really feel too about educating system in the effected areas has been hit,
4:20 pm
but the government says it's determined to make sure there is minimum disruptions, education student took long my year litigation 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 his danville, 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 family 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. a survey of jazeera assembled sophia on is not only the mood of students in istanbul has been impacted,
4:21 pm
obviously by this earthquake. we've seen the mood in unconscious city also boil over into tense scenes. we want latasha when i am joining us live from there. now, how things playing out on the streets fair now latasha and takia has been described as a city of earthquake ruins and had a population of about 200000. during the last census it is now decimated. one man told us we are psychologically broken. many people have been told to evacuate, they've lost everything. there are no services. and yet people remain. that's because they are waiting, holding a heartbreaking week long vigil outside the rubble of buildings where their loved ones are. people tell us they've also been living among the rubble because they've lost their homes. they complain that it took $3.00 to $4.00 days for the rescue
4:22 pm
effort. here to begin in earnest. they said they were in the very 1st few days, digging people out of the rubble with their bare hands. they say they've been given food. they've been given clothing, but they haven't been given shelter. one of the buildings we visited today had a legal case stalled. in the court, people tell us the case was regarding the structural integrity of that building. now there are dozens of families waiting outside that building for a sliver of hope that perhaps they will be granted a miracle rescue. no, they know it's very unlikely at this point, since the earthquake quake rattled people out of their beds just after 4 o'clock a week ago. people are angry. they've been talking about how this happened, how the damage was exacerbated by what they believe is shoddy construction. there
4:23 pm
has been a national reckoning about the use of shoddy construction materials, about lax enforcement of building code regulations in non compliance with earthquake engineering, structural codes coverages. smith, it's wrong to blame the government, although they've made mistakes. i think all the responsibility is on the contractors in san la calling me on. our history is here. i have footprints on every street of this town. if i leave here, it means to leasing my past. now it's like a new century. every one will start a new century with many traumas. a lot of the justice minister says, arrest war. it's have been issued for 100. 34 people. 3 have been arrested and police are searching for more than a 100 suspects in connection with these building codes, noncompliance issues. as for the people here in the city of on takia, given the devastation of historic proportions,
4:24 pm
they know that despite their desire to return here and begin life anew, that rebuilding will take a very long time. i was as long as it may take here and took care for rebuild the you could only imagine the situation in syria, even before this of white 8 agencies was saying over 4000000 people was surviving on the 8th. well, there's anger in the north of syria and the rebel held areas where people say, they feel abandoned by the world. once again, is the story of one man in his live. well, if one of the things i'm here to watch, i remember she'll fill book the memories here. i see my sister's rest,
4:25 pm
her son's clothes, and all of them there smells here cuz it, when they remove everything, i won't come back. i say ok, here's their car. that was done on my their water tank. hello. the solar panels. memories can include all the shops of the world, lead the syrian people down. this is struction was in europe or any other foreign country. the whole world would have gathered here to rescue those killed rather. but here, no one care where displace football want ask about jermel and we were bomb. barrel bombs were dropped, but no one cared about us. on 5th, i didn't know we're getting nothing from turkey and not, and not from the government side. you know, we hear the sea level or i think we can now putting you actually some live pictures. this. everything works out here we go. this is a going all right, we unfortunately, we don't have those pictures,
4:26 pm
but what it was supposed to show was a more, a going into syria. we'll see if we can come back to that. well, this has been a very 10 moment. obviously, not only rescue is trying to scramble to figure out what's going on, not only a workers trying to figure out how to get aiden, but scientists scrambling to that, trying to figure out how this earthquake was so deadly. what lessons can be learned from it as column baker explain. the tectonic plate under trickier is in constant motion. it's faults are mapped, but they're deep underground and it's not known where they might rupture next. so right now, earthquake scientists are examining for new data sources to model what happened. satellites provide optical images and gps, while radar scans show how the ground buckled up and down. these started to arrive 3 days after the disaster. the 1st 2 quake ruptured along
4:27 pm
a 300 kilometer stretch of the east and totally in fault, sliding the ground, 5 to 6 meters to the left. in some areas, the 2nd was most likely triggered hours after the 1st one because of the transferred stresses. it traced more than 100 kilometers along a separate fault, sliding 7 to 8 meters. in some places. this loads elastically all the, all the material around it. so here you have a very large, very large displacement, and therefore there's a lot of stress concentrations, particularly at the ends of the fall. but also it's a slightly more complex pattern. so there is this, what we call a source modeled which shows the fault slip along the fault and with that, which is very, very important to try to estimate relatively quickly, to be able to calculate the stress changes in the region on the ground. teams of
4:28 pm
scientists from institutions, inter kia, are tracking the cracks above the faults called fishers to understand how the ground slid and ruptured. what we do is to look for the fall as you just so you and we met them. so we are trying to figure out which meant which fault and how long did it rupture? these tremors have effected the surrounding faults. the question now is where this might happen next. so all of this data is going into earthquake source models. they can't forecast when an earthquake will happen, but they can show where one is overdue. while there have been moments of hope, enjoy like this funding the amman and took care where young girls and i met i was pulled out of the rubble a 178 hours after the 1st earthquake.
4:29 pm
incredible seemed for rescuers are said to be close to reaching her oldest sister as well. let's hope they reach her in time. but i put all saying the window for reaching people and pulling them out alive. that's nearly shot because the temperatures are freezing and the number of class building a 3rd grade. talking about freezing temperatures, i'm going to ask god cameron and joe out here now to give us a little pan toward screen, right. and you'll see what i mean when we talk about freezing temperatures. these people here on screen, right? they are relatives of the people who are trapped in the building behind me. and they've got 5 lists here at daytime, but it is, it is bitterly cold. the sunshine can be deceptive because there is, there is nothing warm about the situation here at the location of this collect building
4:30 pm
. let's see if we can bring in the drone shots at this point and give you an idea of what we're talking about. when we say collapse, buildings, this is what they call a turkish a c k. a compound, the a group, a cluster, it used to be of buildings. where is that cluster? now? a heap of rubble buried in it. 10 people were told we had one person pulled out from under then 18 year old girl alive. sadly, her sister followed and she was dead. a cluster of rubble that has buried people's mood and sentiment here. and it has also uncovered a feeling of grief that you see on people's faces, whether they all the relatives, whether they're the survivors, or whether they are the rescue workers. this is clearly an event that will go on. we will continue to cover it. but for now,
4:31 pm
i'll hand it back to follow in doha for the rest of the days. news. tammy, thank you very much and thank you to all of our teams on the ground. they are in turkey. still ahead on al jazeera, we'll be looking at some of the days of in use, including ah, anger in israel as the parliament begins debating a controversial reform that demonstrators call undemocratic. we don't want to miss this opportunity. we don't know when we get this opportunity. we meet the nigerian candidate helping to make history in the upcoming elections. and there is no place like home scenes of celebration in kansas city after the cheese. leave it late to take the super bowl. ah.
4:32 pm
touch the money into african go. the exclusive owners, the investigation coming soon, lebanon state of collapse, has become the country's new normal it's economy is in ruins. as lebanon, a failed state. it's a very tough question because to prove otherwise is difficult, will lebanon be able to change course. the economy minister, i mean, salaam talked to al jazeera, the latest news as it breaks. this is just a small example of big fraud or a humanitarian challenge facing with turkish or bar. it is now the scene is being repeated across this region with detailed coverage, like inside me or mark seems to be getting increasingly difficult on the military
4:33 pm
rule from around the world. the pentagon says that in recent years, surveillance fluids have been spotted over warm and white. lou ah, you're watching al jazeera live from doha with me fully bout. he bought a reminder of our top stories. more than 37000 people have been declared dead in turkey and syria, one week after 2 powerful earthquakes struck. the death toll is likely to be significantly higher. but there are still moments of hope rescue operations are underway at the moment in both kind of marsh and no doggy, where people have been found alive under the rubble after being trapped for a week. and the united nations aged chief says the international community has failed, nor than syria. the u. n. is hoping to open more border crossings into syria to
4:34 pm
bring in urgently needed humanitarian supplies. lesser and do other world news now, and china says american balloons illegally entered. it says base multiple times in the last year. a foreign ministry spokesman said the u. s. needs to change its actions instead of accusing china. that's after washington amount. it shot down yet another unidentified object trying and it's a space. intelligence officials are investigating the possibility. it's a chinese spy balloon. katrina, you has more from b jane. latan is foreign ministry has to refuse to confirm or deny whether the additional 3 objects seen over the united states and canada are chinese. but china's form is redid level its own accusations at the us saying that in 2022 u. s. balloons flew over the chinese as face more than 10 times. now it refused to provide any further details about the location, this specific date. it just called on the us by more onset. now this follows an
4:35 pm
announcement on sunday that an an identified object we seen over the port city of kingdom that is on china's eastern course. in the military said that they were getting ready to shoot down that object as it's over sensitive slides here in china, that's where the p l. a have their own naval base. now, china on monday reiterated it sounds at the initial slide. balloon shot down by the u. s. and her report was the civilian issue that flew over the u. s. completely by that. it's the squad, the us response as an over reaction as being typed up. and it says that the u. s. expanding confrontation when it comes to this issue. and on monday, trying to for me, recently ended by saying that it is the u. s. and not china, that has the largest surveillance network. and while the latest intervention american space was referred in as many days, bringing our white house correspondent kimberly hall getting washington dc. so kimberly, what's the white house saying about these mystery objects?
4:36 pm
while the national security spokesperson, john kirby denying the accusations by china, that in any form or fashion, the united states has any sort of surveillance program over china. in fact, just the opposite and just last hour. so john kirby saying that those accusations are blatantly false. he says that china is the one that has a high altitude surveillance balloon program that violates the sovereignty of the united states and 40 other countries the over 5 continents. now, in terms of these latest incidents in terms of the 3 objects that have been shot down over north america, we should point out that the american people are looking for answers and they're not exactly getting them right now. well, john kirby has been talking about that explaining why and the reason has a lot to do with the the information still is being collected and terms of the debris from those objects and weather is making that
4:37 pm
a little bit difficult. and so, in terms of that collection, that information in many cases is still coming. what the u. s. military saying right now is that when that information comes, it will be shared. what they're saying for the moment is that these objects could be commercial in nature. they could be state owned, they could even be extra terrestrial in nature. given the fact that this latest object that was shot down over like here on this one of the 5 great legs and sort of the center of the united states and canada, that this was oct octagonal in nature, and unmanned so in terms of these accusations going back and forth between the united states and china. certainly that has ratcheted up already very tense relations. so we'll be watching very carefully. there is going to be a white house briefing coming up and about 3 hours time to see if we can get further updates. kimberly thank you for the moment and we will check in with you later, of course,
4:38 pm
to israel now with thousands are rallying against prime minister benjamin netanyahu proposals to reform the judicial system. oh, demonstrators have gathered outside the can i certain west juice. miss parliamentarians start discussing as opposed bill. the changes would limit the power of the supreme court while giving greater powers to the government. critics of the far right. call it on democratic let's go live to sound hierarchy was in west jerusalem for his hotel is about what's been happening in the committed and why people are so and ah, well the committee decided to bring in resumes. it was pretty much a huge guy behind us. with i hey, what is the problem that you are facing a,
4:39 pm
it doesn't make sense to live in israel. it's so expensive. i live here because i family and i, i believe that israel, it's my place, but it's got to make sense for me to live my post indian friends. i thought you could if there's no diversity where guys, new york is god because the diversity this places with diversity a right from the people bringing down a power to express themselves. despite it against the crow, this over here,
4:40 pm
they're yelling. what's happening to get the fuck up with me about this that they're saying get, get up our house in a, in a few months, or maybe in a few years. it won't be good for me or my kids to live here. i gotta get up to the streets, you know, when he got home, he's in trouble and this is the thing. what we're saying, hey, went by the tech industry. we have a credit to fight features. we have different factors that decide parents. monday is that new boards that are pretty concerned, they say a israel, i've never seen an entire history. what we're also seeing and hearing from people is that they are concerned with dogs exist in this country will. and if these were thought come through because of the number of minutes is that all in this stuff are in that position, despite convictions of racism all time,
4:41 pm
including these rightly prime minister that it is on trial or corruption. what with what section of the site, the, the sense that something has to be done now. so any of these but going through a dialogue, you said this is our president and giving needs of eden. it's mainly opposition and the government bearing in mind public opinion in israel sarah, hi ross, thank you very much, sarah. hi, ranch reporting there live from west jerusalem and we apologize for some of the language you heard there in about live reports. meanwhile, is ralph's cabinet. has recognized 9 illegal settler. i've posed seen the occupied west bank despite past us opposition. the far right financed minister said $10000.00 housing units could be built in separate existing, illegal settlements. the palestinian authority called it an open war against the palestinian people need. abraham has more from ramallah. let's talk about the
4:42 pm
context here in the occupied west bank where we've haven't had even one night of con this where we've seen a lot of is really reads in palestinian cities needing to fatal tease. we're talking about a month and a half since the beginning of this year, and nearly 50 palestinians were killed by israeli forces. this is a 3rd of the number of palestinians who were killed by israeli forces in last year . so that gives you an idea of how tense the situation is and we are looking at an escalation probably given the nature of this current for right israeli government. now we've seen the announcement by the israeli government to legalize the settlement outposts in the occupied westbank and according to international law. all supplements are considered illegal. but what's is, is that israeli settlers come and build whatever they want and then wait for an authorization by the israeli government,
4:43 pm
which were through actively recognizes those outposts. now, according to the palestinian prime minister, he says that this signals that israel has indeed started annexing palestinian territories. he said, but this is a challenge to all the efforts that has been taking place by us officials to lead to a d escalation in the situation. but as far as palestinians are concerned, they believe that they are heading towards an escalation given the nature of the current. this way, the government and al jazeera cameraman has been injured by a rubber bullets fired by israeli forces. while salami was covering the demolition of palestinian homes in antibodies, jerusalem israeli soldiers also used tear gas against people protesting against the demolition. in the java more caberry neighbourhood, several palestinians were arrested in at least 30 were injured. more than 4800
4:44 pm
