ukraine war one year on, on out this era, we know what's happening in our region. we know how to get the place if that others and not. i want to be a guy by the police on purpose and fires, and i'm going on with the way that you tell the story is what can make a difference. scores of afghans has led their homeland since the taliban take over, in a special to partner for one. 0, one east follows to women. determined to build new lives far from home on al jazeera. ah .

to find the odds one week since the earthquake struck, one young survivor was pulled from a collapse building in turkey. in many areas, hospitals are now part of the rubble in the skin to run an indian field hospital is the only source of medical care. ah, i'm ne, parker. this is al jazeera life from london. also coming up, we report from inside syria. as the 2nd installment of could tarry aid arrives. thousands of people are in desperate need. the aid here is much more needed than ever. and the report, the profiles of decades of abuse by members of the portuguese catholic church identify more than 4800 victims so far. ah m just been a week since to devastating earthquake,

said turkey and syria, a, b u. n is now warning, the rescue phase of the response is coming to a close. or then 37000 people have been declared dead across the 2 countries. for the final total is likely to be significantly higher. over 31000 of those victims were in turkey and in syria, 86000 people have been killed. so the focus is now switching to caring for survivors. and there are still some astonishing stories of survival. on monday, several people, including young children, were pulled alive from beneath collapse buildings after 7 and a half days. the international aid effort is continuing, but supplies are running low in both countries where it's bitterly cold, posing a challenge for relief workers, and survivors made homeless by the quake. serious president, bashar al assad is under pressure to allow more aid into rebel held areas. well, as we mentioned, against all odds survivors, the still being found a 13 year old was rescued on monday. after spending

a 182 hours under the rubble of a collapse building of the turkish province of hattie, there were also been moments of hope and joy in the city of a young man. a young girl whose been named as mere. i was also rescued. things are said to be close to reaching her oldest sister as and we have a team of correspondence covering the disaster across turkey. natasha. her name is ann tucker, stephanie decker is in caravan mirage. bernice smith is in a scantron. russell center is and merit mr. in, in syria. and sammy is done is in no die. and where sammy is now a semi, we've heard of course, extraordinary stories of survival against all odds in recent days. apex. the question of course, is there still hope there? i in a nut shell, the hope is still alive here, but as night falls and the temperature drops, it's not only temperatures which are falling, but it's getting harder to keep hope high as well. here. you know,

we've seen were here at the, at the center of course of where the 1st earthquake struck a week ago. and behind me is the rubble of one of the many buildings that collapsed in that earthquake. and the day started with much stronger hope and optimism, especially after they had rescued, saw that an 18 year old girl came out and said, you got to help. my sister is in there. they worked endlessly, they called it extra teens. international team was called in here, they found her sister, but sadly, she was deceased. at that point, we were told though, a 14 other people in the rubble we sat here and this row emotional roller coaster with the relatives. i think we, you've got pictures of them sitting around the camp fire earlier, trying to keep hope alive, looking through their album book, looking through pictures, trying to, to really keep their faith that some of those 14 relatives at least will be pulled

out alive and slowly the news came that another body and another body had been found and that hope crashed. it turned into grief. it was a really heart wrenching scene to feel here, especially when the latest body was pulled out. that was not in one piece. as you can imagine, it's quite a distressing moment to experience and there's so much of it here despite all of that, the teams behind me are still working. they say they think there's still 4 people inside that rubble. they hope they're alive. they hope to be able to get them out alive. neeve, sorry, as we tentatively and i say tentatively very carefully, of course as sweet tentatively move towards this rescue phase winding down. where does the focus now go? hello. the focus is going to be shifting. it's already started for a while,

but it's going to be intensifying on the needs of those many who have survive. remember that the turkish president said, hundreds of thousands of buildings are uninhabitable. how many people does that leave? too many for authorities to have to house and they've been going through their resources as much as they can to try and provide temporary shelter to put people off in public buildings in schools and domes and so on. but there's a lot of people food is getting in, i can tell you, i can see food coming into places like this. security has been stepped up, but it's simple things that really matter in life as well. what do you do in temperatures like this? the perceive temperature here is minus 2 and there's no electricity. there's an issue with the availability of toilets. the authorities are put up, pull to cabins, but still there aren't enough. there's not always enough water available. there's enough drinking water is not always enough water available for plantation. so the

focus is increasing on issues like sanitation, they've got, they've got a big portion of the shelter sorted out in the food but sanitation, electricity, and we're also seeing now people start to mobilize themselves are speaking with a gentleman who come 10 hours away. he doesn't work for any government facility, but he got a nice car. he got together initiative, and he's providing whatever help he can provide for people here with food with generators, whatever he can to try and help even. i think that's where a lot of his focus is going to shift now to trying to sort people out with some of those basic needs needs some many thanks for that some of the live and he i took here stephanie deca has been following the rescue efforts from the city of caravan, marashi was the epi center of the 2nd earthquake. it is physically and emotionally exhausting. sleep is brief. no one has stopped for days. but the

determination of these rescue teams, both turkish and international. many of them are, volunteers, is unbreakable. we have been working with a, with the same minor people from target and then they call us do coffee and with our dog and our local faith and not be mistaken. ever. they have miraculously 7 days on identified life and are working to reach what's believe to be a mother and her 3 week old baby. but they have seen too much death here. i'm in the really sad thing and we have been talking about this way. we've got it. when we found people, their children are within the bed and bodies had tried to reach the children that come into the their bedroom. the task of the rescue and recovery walkers is voss you can tell where the devastation begins, or where it ends. as one volunteer told me, he said if you go some damage across the south east,

that makes what is already an incredibly difficult task. even more challenging, keandrea is a local volunteer. he's been working with fire fighters from missouri by john genesis in a diety estimate, even though william over a dead body. and we give the course to the family. they still hug ourselves and think awesome. and that they got the body back and ask them to pray over and dirty . like they're grateful even to be handed your dead. this is the reality of this unimaginable tragedy. one rescue worker told us, even if all the countries in the world said teams to help, it would never be enough. stephanie decker, al jazeera caught up on my dash, southeastern, to kia and there are nearly 10000 foreign aid workers now in turkey, from 74 countries. with more on the way in the port city of his kendra and the indian army has set up

a field hospital. bernard smith is there. the turkish public health system has collapsed here in a scoundrel. the indian army is filling the gap. its field hospital in a school is the only health facility serving a pre earthquake population of a quarter of a 1000000 people. initially we had dramas, loss of loss of length, head and oh, the gesture, almost. patients were buried in the rubble. we had to do an amputation to save a life of patient is leg was gangrenous. then finally, we have saved stabilized him and moved him to other a donna. now, the patient profile is changing and al gradually immortal. the infectious diseases are coming in. the turkish government has struggled to cope with a disaster of this scale. so citizens are relying on aid from across the world. i know my head on the morning of the quake. how made a search says everywhere was hell. i thought i was going to die and i started

reciting my final praise. we don't know what we'll do next. we're on the street. there was another try. manchester man, the nick air, and we're outside the public hospital. opposite the school is in too dangerous a condition to consider re opening with more than a 1000000 people homeless across southeast and turkey. many living intense. there's an increased risk of a wide spread outbreak of disease being an army says it'll only consider leaving turkey when the number of patients is treating. begins to level off. there's no sign about happening now. bernard smith, al jazeera, is candor. leverne syria, anger is building with survivors, saying the international community has let them down. aid has been slow to arrive in the rebel held northwest will earlier katara aid convoy her arrived at the bible, how a crossing to provide relief of people in north assyria. the convoy was organized by the charity cat r funds for development. the charity says its immediate focus is on providing aid, but it will transition to rebuilding houses,

universities and schools in earthquake hit areas. russel sir that has more now formed nor than syria. beer in martyrdom the sin in northwest assyria. this place was not he, it's hard by the earthquake. however, there has been some nearby legions. districts here that were hit quite hot and as a result, thousands of families have been left without houses. now they need tans. they need warm clots because it is freezing cold. it's winter here and cut that has been one of the 1st companies that responded to the disaster in, in syria. so today cut their said it's the 2nd conway, off aid. and now we're here. the aid has been received by the people, so it contains diapers for the, for the kids, and also that tans and the heaters and many other essentials that are desperately needed here. so we can see that now the pants has just been set up and there are

some other places also, the tans of the tans are being set up by did the, by the civil defense the by, by the civil society here. and also by the cut that he aid workers as well. so north west syria is roughly warm to more than 4000000 people. and it has seen a more than a decade long civil war. so disasters are overlapping here. and they are receiving quite a little here i have been to they really and, and weirdly, i have talked to one of the aid workers here and said that they are quite receiving very, very tiny from the international community. so every drop of age really saves lives . here, so that's why this kind of 8 convoys aren't quite essential here. and also have talked to the head of white helms. right, sally. he told me that if they could have received an international aid earlier,

there will be able to save much more lives. but now as of now, more than 5000 people have already died here and the rescue teams who are still dealing with the rebels. they said that they do not have the dead more than rescue recruitment. they do not have the diggers acts await theirs. and they do not have also the heavy lifting machinery that are quite needed here. and we even, they do not have the light that they can continue through the night. they rescue a force. however, that is the situation here. as i said, did the northwest syria, all of syria has been hit hard by 12 years of civil war. but now after the earthquake, that they had a lethal but the earthquake has taken data as well. and the 8th here is much more needed than ever. this was out of that, i'll just 0 margaret machine northwest as syria still to come here when al jazeera

nato warns a new russian offensive is already underway. ukraine calling from military a to be fast trying to keep us claims. china is using high altitude balloons for intelligence gathering on to receive his objects were shot down of an american. ah, with that what you might call winter's been pushed out of the way of europe. precious buildings, big dome of a set over the middle and all that was being pushed, run it by whether i mean cloud, maybe snow but even that rather limited. as you can see. now there is some cloud kept close to graham, which means it will be overcast. can't see the sky coffee, the sanchez, a in poland. an increase in me for the said through might remain to bulgaria west for the rest, your hourly mild reduced by day and by night in the sun is the dominant thing in

the sky. but there is still statue east side of ukraine and being blown, quite hard in the south. rushed eastern side of the black sea just catching northern turkeys. well, which gets even more snare, but only the entity known in the north. during wednesday, the bit of a break of that line of rain you may have noticed. so some re, mike coming to some portugal, some across the british isles. drake, when say, but otherwise quiet and lofty sunny. now there is rain and significant, right? i think might fall at the sky in morocco, maybe western sahara and this orange you see every where's the harm at wendy's seasonal wind picks up the dust and the sand often trades, dust dorms, not particularly true at the moment in north africa. for the south in the middle of summer is wet, particularly mozambique, and zimbabwe. ah, this is one of the most astounding that in the logical revolutions in all of this

through make our planet great the day. we have to meet the c o 2 emission targets lecture casa, mate mitchell mentioned the need to be mind to where people are just talking about wind and solar sake that can solve the problem. it won't. the world of business and commerce is driving energy transition. each the promise of clean energy and illusion, the top side of green energy on al jazeera. ah ah, welcome back. a reminder the top stories here on al jazeera. it's been a week since to devastating earthquakes, hit turkey and syria. will the 37000 people have been declared dead across the 2

countries, but the final toll is likely to be significantly higher. rescue operations are still underway, though, and against all odds. survivors are still being found. on monday, several people including young children, will put a live from beneath collapse buildings off to 7 and a half days will hat i province is one of the hardest hit parts of ticket natasha. can i am is in the city of and takia with more on the recovery operations for untouched is now a city of earth, quake ruins the street gives you an indication as to why it has been decimated. one man tells us we are psychologically broken. there are no services people have been told to evacuate yet some remain. that's because they are holding a soul shattering weeklong vigil waiting for their loved ones to be pulled out of the rubble. holding on to the hope, however, infant testimony that they will be granted

a miracle rescue. eugene only the to alicia our loved ones need us to be strong. my beloved nephew and his wife are under the rubble. g. know the tiny line between hope and despair. i'm going through this for the last few days between miracle and reality. she was the people who remain are also living in the rubble. they say they've been given food, they've been given clothing, but they still don't have shelter. they complain that the search and rescue operation was slow to begin here in on takia. they say it took about 3 or 4 days after the earthquake hit to begin in earnest. since the earthquakes hit more than a week ago, there has been a national reckoning over the well known use of shoddy construction material. and the lacks enforcement of building codes in compliance with earthquake engineering standards. warnings were issued, amnesty is given. now people are angry coverages. it's wrong to blame the government,

although they've made mistakes. i think all the responsibilities on the contractors, the ministry of justice has issued 100. 34 arrest warrants, arrested. 3 people and police are searching for more than 100 suspects in connection with building code violations. as for the people here in on takia, they say they know this diverse city with each of routes will rebuild. but given the is work proportions of this devastation, they know it will take a very long time. natasha name else's era and tuck ya. kiya. ah. in the days of it he's ne toasted. secretary general says rushes fears new offensive in ukraine has begun. and moscow has dispatch more troops and weapons for its war effort. you have still to beg, is urging european nations to fast track the supply of weapons, ammunition,

and fuel to ukraine. the same bus ravi has more from keith while you and officials are the 1st to admit that there are more needs to be don martin griffiths, the chief humanitarian coordinator for the united nation. speaking in syria on sunday said that the people in the northwest of syria, in particular, feel abandoned. ah, and that the international response has failed them. i. the issue though is that they need a mandate. the united nations needs a mandate to go into any country. apologies for the mix up there that was crystal salumi of the un talking about the situation in syria. moving on now, us national security council spokesperson, john kirby says, china is using high altitude balloons for intelligence gathering. asoft the u. s. shot down, what it said was a chinese controlled spy balloon. earlier this month, china denies the claim. we were able to determine that china has a high altitude balloon program for intelligence collection. we assessed that at

this time, these balloons have provided limited additive capabilities to the p. r c's, other intelligence platforms used over the united states. but in the future, if the p r c continues to advance this technology, it certainly could become more valuable to them. while house carson, kimberly how cats are standing by, she joins us now live and kimberly brings up to be what was being said about this mystery object. oh well objects in fact, because there have been a number that have been in the last week or so shot down by the u. s. military and that's left the american public looking for some answers what they did learn definitively in the last hour, according to the white house press secretary, as well as the national security spokesperson, john kirby is that in fact, these objects as they're being called, are not extra terrestrial in nature. now,

when asked by reporters, how that is something that has been definitively definitively proven or concluded, there was no evidence given for that. only that this is something that the pentagon is assuring the american public. but having said that, we still are not told whether it is corporate own state owned or what these objects are in terms of anything beyond what we know that this latest object that was shot down over lake huron over the weekend. that is one of the great lakes, one of the 5 great lakes in the center of kind of situated between canada and the united states. that it was october octagonal in nature. so, there still a lot of unanswered questions about some of these objects that they are being called. what the problem is in many of these cases is that there's a bit of difficulty in retrieving some of the debris. for example, one of the objects that was shot down over the canadian province or territory of

the yukon is that the weather is not exactly helping in terms of the retrieval. it's very rural, it's very cold. and it's making the efforts to retrieve this somewhat difficult, and so it's going to be some time before we're going to get those answers. so in the interim of the, of a u. s. military is saying that the public is going to have to be patient. and there's going to be a lot of unanswered questions. now, in the mood of all of this, what we do know is that relations between the us and china have only become more tense in light of the spy balloon that was shot down off the coast of the united states in the atlantic ocean dead a week or so ago, ah, and of that has led to some accusations that the united states is conducting its own surveillance program that was countered by this security spokesperson john kirby, who said, when it comes to the united states, china is the one that has

a high altitude surveillance balloon program that has violated the sovereignty of the united states and 40 other countries. in other words, that is a flatter denial from the united states. all right, a week of mystery objects can be how could live at the white house, many folks m all than 4800 children, were sexually abused by members of the portuguese catholic church since 1950 at among the findings of a commission investigating child abuse the portuguese church released on monday last the latest in a long series of investigations as a sexual crimes by catholic priests in numerous countries. a spokesman for the vatican admitted that there are more victims who will come forward where we challenge as more in portuguese churches, in schools, in priests homes and in confessionals for at least 70 years religious men were abusing their positions of trust to abuse the children in their care, the victims were mostly boys, usually between 10 and 14 years old,

for the youngest was just too, but a press conference on monday. the commission investigating the crimes delivered the results of their year long mission hitched and when you come to push to made him shoot these testimonies. as we will explain, a head carefully allow us to reach to a much more extensive victim network calculated at a minimum number. absolute minimum of $4815.00 victims skins. v t miss the portuguese independent commission was set up in november 2021. it was after a similar body in france reveal $200000.00 victims of child abuse in the french church. and there are those who think the portuguese investigation should have uncovered comparable numbers. the numbers are pathetically small, and i think that totally implausible. in france, very recently there was a report done that concluded that there were a 3rd of a 1000000 victims over

a very similar period to the one that portugal has been looking at. and so that means that this only left a little over one percent of the number in portugal attending the media briefing in lisbon was hand zola, the vatican's official dealing with sex abuse cases. he said this was unlikely to be the last of such revelations in portugal. and he outlined how he should be treated. his 1st listen to victims continued to listen for 2 victims, because this will not be the end of it. we have now a certain number of those who have been listened to, or whoever answered the questioning, but this is not the end. there will be more victims who will come forward. and so continue to listen for the portuguese victims prospects with justice. a mixed 25. testimonies have been sent for criminal investigation, but the rest are outside the 20th statutes of limitations. so nothing can be done, where we shall ins out as there are women make up half of nigeria population,

but only 10 percent of candidates running for office. in this one selections, one women vine for state governor is raising hopes that voters may elect the 1st female to that position. out of a say, this good market turning point for women and a male dominated society. i mean address reports from the east and city of yo la. ah, this is a moment female actress to nigeria have walked one. 0 man from a major political party becoming a candidate for governor. and she is a frontrunner. i should have been on the overcame religious and cultural barriers in the patrick of society to get here. she says, it's been worth the struggle. it gives the woman it gives the lad daughters and gives us says to the aunties, on what does the confidence that to yes or sole, ah, who wore men, can walk towards occupy in what ever elective position they desire.

although women make up half of nitrous population, they've long been on the fringes economically and politically. you know, also by virtue of the 11th of 80 keshawn, particularly in this part of the country. the women out been at the disadvantage compared to men. ah, but actually say changing attitudes of their strength in numbers could work for them. this time. it's really time for women. and we don't, we don't want to miss this opportunity. we don't know when we get this oppertunity again. nigeria general election later this month is being keenly contested and closely watched women active is across nigeria. i'll be the election of a female good and decades of dates, decent from that office. if that happens, they say the processor could be within reach the outcome of the vote won't be known

for weeks, but what our supporters are celebrating, what they have already achieved. unseen momentum is on their side. i'm at it rece algebra, eula. ok, just before we go to the headlines will leave you with some of the images of the earthquakes in turkey and syria as we continue to mark one week. since that is asked ah ah.
