a close will then 37000 people have lost their lives across the 2 countries. but the final toll is likely to be significantly higher over 31000 of those victims were inter kia are in syria, nearly 6000 people have been killed. the focus is now switching to caring for survivors. but there are still some astonishing stories of survival or monday. several people, including young children, were pulled alive from beneath collapse buildings after 7 and a half days. the international aid efforts is continuing, but supplies are running low in both countries is bitterly cold. posing a challenge for relief workers and survivors made homeless by the quake and against all odds, survivors are still being found. her 13 year old was rescued on monday. after spending a 182 hours under the rubble of a collapse building in the turkish province of app, i have also been moments of hope and joy and the city of adiana, a young girl who's been named as mir. i was also rescued from a sedan,

has more former die. the last 2 bodies of the last 2 children who were trapped in the rubble of that building behind me were finally located, got pulled out, deceased. it was quite an emotional ending to a very tense day. that started with hope with 18 year old, saw that being pulled alive from the rubble telling people my sisters in their, my youngest is in the she's alive, please reach her. while they struggled, they called an extra teams, international teams even joined the effort. they eventually found her sister. sadly, she was dead. and as time has gone by, it's just been an emotional rollercoaster hoping that perhaps the next member of the 15 members of that family would be found alive and one after the other. they were all located and sadly brought out in body bags. and we saw this cycle of hope

turning to grief. this is going to turn into a clean operation that's going to be an intensification of the focus and as well to provide for the people who are left alive and what to do with more and more bodies that will now come out of the rubble and increasing numbers in body bags, that's going to put a strain on the system to. and as i said, you can't see it now it's, it's nighttime, so we can get the drone up. or there's a 10 city which the authorities put up here. and those people, they are now getting things like blankets to them, they're getting food to them. but there's still an issue with some basic rescue workers. some dozens of countries have been working for days to find survivors. inter kia and syria. stephanie deca has been following rescue efforts from the city of caravan marashi. remember that was the epi center of the 2nd earthquake. it 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 docket on they, they call us do coffee and with our dog and our little feet 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 really sad thing and we have been talking about this way. we have got it and we found people, their children are within the bed and bodies had tried to reset. she lived out dummy today to 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 it would go up and damage across the south east. that makes what is already

an incredibly difficult task. even more challenging g, anger is a local volunteer. he's been working with fire fighters from azerbaijan, janasia synagogue, tis them, it, even though we'll move that body unit and we give the course to the family. they still hug ourselves and thank austin. and then they got the body back and i was going to pray over and dirty, 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, come on, my dash, southeastern, to kia. well hoss i province is one of the hardest hit parts of turkey. natasha good name is in the city of and tucker with more on recovery operations that

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 week long 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 to 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 lax 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 antalya, they say they know this diverse city with each it routes will rebuild. but given the is work proportions of this devastation, they know it will take

a very long time. natasha name l 0 and takia. your kia though syrian president, bashar allison, has agreed to allow you in a deliveries to the rebel held northwest of syria through 2 additional border crossings. anger has been building in syria with survivors saying the international community has let them down. earlier qatari aid convoy arrived at the bomb our border crossing to provide humanitarian aid supplies. 7 trucks carried blankets, winter clothing, tents and other essentials into the country. russell soda has more from northern syria. beer in modern messina, in northwest syria. this place was not hit 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 to they cut their st. it's 2nd conway, off aid. and now we are here. the aid has been received by the people. so it contains diapers for the, for the kids, and also the 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 to buy 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 in them. 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 i have talked to the head of white helms, dr. sally, he told me that if they could have received an international aid earlier, they 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 equipment. 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 air 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 miss mean northwest assyria was they had their from wrestle the a situation in northern serious, hugely complicated and being disgusted. a close session at the un security council, the new york where kristen salumi now joins us live and kristen, of course, we have heard of put some potential movement on the all important border crossings between turkey and syria. this announcement or a proposal at least coming from serious president

the authorization for a more cross border aid to be delivered from turkey and neighboring states has been authorized by the syrian president. but shar awesome after meeting with the u ends, chief humanitarian martin griffiths in damascus. now there's been a lot of complaints as we've been hearing that the 8 isn't getting in quickly enough, the u. n. has maintained that under international law, it needs either the permission of the syrian government or a resolution from the security council. i had only had permission from the counsel for one cross border aid point that was damaged and somewhat restricted as a result of the earthquake. and the cross line aid coming from within syria through damascus. while he was making attempts to beef that up with the assistance of the government, it just wasn't happening quickly enough. the un said that there were too many complications traveling with aid workers through

a conflict zone. so griffith made the appeal to the syrian government that more cross border was needed, and the syrian regime has responded to that pressure, saying that for 3 months though, allow aid to go into the country from any point in order to make that happen. so that's a big relief to the united nation. some members of the security council say that they would still like to see a security council resolution to support what the government has been saying. we will wait and see if the council is able to get together on that statement or not. in the past, russia has been unwilling to allow more cross border aid, but it has done so saying that it was sticking up for syria and syria's wish that it be recognized as the sovereign leader of syria. and it's permission be granted. so the closed door meeting is still happening. martin griffith has been at briefing

the security council. they also heard from the ambassador to syria, enter kia as well. but the good news from the un standpoint, who we've heard from countless un officials who said that they wanted more border crossings and more aid to get through as quickly as possible. the good news is that looks like it should start happening soon. if these are these promises are met on the part of the syrian government on the part of the un and, and others are we call, let's see what difference it makes to people on the ground. there are 2 of them, syria, kristen slim, a live with you and thank you. will somebody who knows know the syria very well is was archived. khattab who's a syrian filmmaker and activists have filled for sama shown a lie to life in aleppo on the bombardment during the 3 and conflict. she says, people do not believe the aside. regime will allow aid into rebel held areas. since when we trust the regime, there is even was carrying the syrian people on all her this 20 years. there is him

who didn't like even announced that syria under disaster when they as quick hit northwest. and then as you areas 6 days ago, and i really also can't understand how the u. n is celebrating a step like this or feeling like that they've done or achieve something when they didn't even show up in syria or to the c m border and the 1st 6 days once when lives could be saved. i just really, i mean, we have so much anger, we have so much like, ah, action, you know, we wanted, we wanted to do, and we've done already just a couple of days ago after the essay. quick had syria and we had trucks in front of the you and telling them that the work they've done is 0. and the real heroes of, of, of the senior people. and of this warrant or the why term. it's who we're doing impulsive admission and syria under this have circumstances. so it's too late.

within this, it's their duty to act now and their duty to, to serve the city and people and to head with any ed bus and that into syria. so the come allow just 03 flying objects detected over north american, aerospace are made and identified as the white house defend the shooting them down us condemns israel's authorization of 9 illegal settle out most in the occupied with that most of the heavy rain you know straight it is what they call top end, and that line kills round to use even will come to their in a 2nd. you half got showers forecast and new south wales and southern queens. and so particularly brisbin that big thunderstorms i think. and it's slightly warm and melbourne at $23.00 degrees and slightly cooler in perth. at 27. most of west

australia is cloud free and dry. this is where the rain is. i'm a hint of the circulation. you'll notice that's worth watching. but the real west actually been further south and you see it now by wednesday, most the circulation remains of tropical cycling has gone away. but then it saddens time in christ church, in particular, get wind and rain in southeast asia at the side to the equator. the heavy rain is in the central southern philippines may be sort of way see and for the south in java line of rain that's been pushed out of japan came from china originally is being replaced by the cold wind mean snow shows that cold actually brought some snow to the eastern side of china, but even mountain tops is not severely cold, has pushed the temperature down by 10 degrees in the south of china. they'd be rather high recently, mostly to come on wednesday. you'll notice, but for india, pakistan and backlash, it's just some shy. ah, with inspiring stories from around the

world. i thought we did the human life capture. and it's a vast one. this feel like that presentation of what i want people to remember me by groundbreaking food, from award winning filmmakers. witness on a jetta. ah. ah motorbike reminder of the top stories he went out to 0. it's been a week since to devastating earthquakes hit to turkey and syria. will the 37000

people have been declared dead across the 2 countries. the final total is likely to be significantly higher rescue operations are still underway and against all odds, survivors is still being found. a monday, several people, including young children, will pull the life beneath collapse buildings off to 7 and a half days. syrian president bashar al assad has agreed to allow you in a deliveries to the rebel held north west through 2 additional border crossings. volunteers, volunteers in moscow have collected tons of aid and donated over a $1000000.00 so far to help the quite victims. i saw a binge of aid has more from the russian capital. hundreds of volunteers have been working long days to collect sort, pack and ship urgently needed help for earthquake victims and turkey and syria. in the last few months, they've been collecting humanitarian aid for civilians in russian hill,

east ukraine. as soon as the earthquake happened emotional appeal for help. things are brought in by everyone. people like you and me bring in all they have. i know a lot of people who brought to jack has out of the 3 they had and only kept one. as soon as they found out about the trouble in turkey and syria, everyone responded. donors, here are ordinary people, not the wealthy law. years have gathered in the basement of most of the largest. most the charities here run the card fund fundraising platform to help those in need regardless of their faith or location. the oldest one here is 91 of as many as 500 people doing what they can for the victims. i guess tony's church the and conflicts totters, have all come together to help her if the nations and ethnic groups make up the 20000000 or so muslims in russia and thousands have come to help the people of syria and turkey. and it's not just muslims inside the mos were helping out. karina

is an orthodox christian and is supervising the volunteer team the whole day during 14 hours. and at the end of the day, i have a lot of energy. i had a lot of energy and i can understand why there i stole it and a lot of use and a lot of people. but if these people are unusual for me or the i so i, i, i didn't go into great many here get emotional, talking about the plight of the victims and the dedication of the volunteers. they say they understand the scale of the disaster, and they'll continue to collect much needed 8 or the victims. some of the other 0 moscow. in other news, nato secretary general says rushes feared new offensive in ukraine has begun. and moscow has dispatch more trips and weapons for its war effort un stoughton burgers,

urging european nations to fast track the supply of weapons, ammunition, and fuel to ukraine receipt knowles sign whatsoever. that president bruton is preparing for peace already to negotiate or something which will respect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of ukraine. or what we see is that president putin honor shot and still wants to control ukraine. the white house says it has not yet been able to identify 3 recently down objects found in north american aerospace national security council spokesperson, john kirby says, the objects are not necessarily spy. balloons like the one the u. s. shut down early this month. off the coast of south carolina, or what house correspondent give the help it has more. 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 here on 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. tens of thousands of israelis continue to rally against prime minister benjamin netanyahu proposal to reform the judicial system. demonstrators gathered outside the canal set on monday as a parliamentary committee approved a vote to go ahead for a hierarchy reports from west jerusalem. tens of thousands of protesters travelled from across the country, gathering outside his rose parliament. the can i sit for a 6 week to demonstrate against controversial judicial reform plans many believing the new right wing coalition government's decisions will stay the country away from democratic values and the rule of law and protesting for my children m froze. that's the thing for this country. i'm protesting for the country. my father fought for my brother, fought for my uncle, died for echoing that sentiment. is opposition leader and full prime minister. yeah

. le pete. i not only stagger about the chairman a fema, we will not hide in the house is as i tried to tourney shouting to adopt a tight ship, they will not shut us up. oh, the reforms are now the canal. it to re legislate laws struck down by the supreme court, ruled the courts with a simple majority and influence the appointments of judges. boys, same people from all sectors of society here teaches all tis, dances, people from the l, g, b, c, q, community, and the tech industry as well. they're all here with the same message. they say they're concerned about the future of this country. the danger is, is that the, that the supreme court would lose his independence and will not, not long while we were filming things got heated, as we'd seen a few times between protesters and government supporters. the scenes went much different inside the parliament building,

whose insults were exchanged between the ruling party and opposition members, but after several hours of deliberation, a committee approved the judiciary reform bill's progress to be voted on in parliament in the coming days. prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the proposed changes are needed to rein in an already powerful judiciary. his supporters of also dismissed the protest as a refusal to accept the election results. who, who said from the beginning, one to negotiate, want to have a wider support for the deal, but it takes to and i hope them the opposition, some of the parts of the opposition or cannot acknowledge the fact that they lost the election is really present. i get hurt, slogan is us counts. part joe biden, have urged both sides come together and build a consensus. i thought there appears to be little room for negotiation next few

days. so proof minds. so laid out is there a way to do it or than 4800 children, was sexually abused by members of the portuguese catholic church since 1950. as among the findings of a commission. investigating child abuse in the portuguese church released on monday, is the latest and a long series of investigations into sexual crimes by catholic priests in numerous countries. where we challenge has 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 at a press conference on monday, the commission investigating the crimes delivered the results of their year long

mission. it's from when you come to push to made him shoot. these testimonies, as we will explain ahead, carefully allow us to reach to a much more extensive victim network calculated at a minimum number absolute minimum of 4815 victor. the portuguese independent commission was set up in november 2021. it was after a similar body in france, revealed $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 different 1000000 victims over a very similar period to the one that portugal has been looking at. and so that means that there's only left a little over one percent. the number in portugal,

it's like catholic authorities in many countries around the world. portuguese bishops are struggling to respond to a self inflicted crisis that brought deep suffering to its victims and severely damaged his oppose. it bastisse of morality. some communism we are aware as a church that we are a church that makes and has made and we'll certainly make mistakes. i can't guarantee that tomorrow there won't be another case of abuse. i would love to say that, but i don't, i cannot say it. what i can say is that we have a different consciousness today. it wasn't easy for us to go down this path either, but we did it because we had to, it is essential to have the truth for the portuguese victims prospects for justice mixed. 25, testimonies have been sent for criminal investigation but the rest are outside the 20th statute of limitations. so nothing can be done.
