this is a huge project shrouded in secrecy. no, i can see the end product. so these are both, it's actually pure and i'm holding a well fast. this is a big step for the whole industry. when we make these transition up to years ago, the great the damage caused to the precious gross lance of chile is being reversed with one of the world's biggest ever conservation projects. they're pretty emblematic of the pedagogy and if they're plentiful and they're calm like this one is, then you know that the system is coming back and that they feel no threat. and that's why you're high for re wilding patagonia on al jazeera ah.

as rescue his race against time to search for survivors, the death toll from the turkey and syria earthquakes crosses 37000. ah, hello, i'm darned. jordan, this is al jazeera live from dell ha. also coming up to find the odds. one week since the earthquake struck one young survivor's phone from a collapse building in turkey, cut all sense much needed aid to serious, quite affected regions. the un says the asset regime has agreed to open to more border crossings. plus here i'm going israel as the parliament debates, giving it so as to overrule the supreme court. ah, no. it's been one since 2 devastating earthquakes hit turkey

and syria and the u. n's. now warning, the rescue phase of the response is coming to the close. the focus is now switching to caring for survivors. more than 37000 people have been declared dead across the 2 countries, but the final toll is likely to be significantly higher. but we have a team of correspondence covering the disaster. wrestle soda is in modern miss when in syria, bernard smith is in is kendra, and sam is a dan, is in no diet. but stephanie deca begins are coverage with rescue efforts for the city of come on. my dash 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 to coffee 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 when we recorded. when we found people. 6 their children are all within the wet and bodies are trying 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 you, he said, if you go up to 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 missouri by john genesis in a diet 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 i was 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 caught him on my dash, southeastern, to keith will against all odds survive as a still being found. 13 year old con was rescued on monday. after a 182 hours under the rubble of a collapsed apartment building and the turkish province of k, i've also been moments of hope enjoy in the city of adelman, where a young girl is rescued. after being trapped for more than 170 hours, sometimes they dance been following. the latest developments from no dia. the last 2 bodies of the last 2 children who were trapped in the rubble of that building behind me were finally located up, pulled out,

deceased. it was quite an emotional ending to a very tense day that started with hope with 18 year old sod. that being pulled alive from the rubble telling people my sisters in their, my youngest sister 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. but there's a 10 city which the authorities that foot 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 well, there are now nearly 10000 foreign aid workers in turkey from 74 countries. and more are on the way in the port city of candor, and the indian army has set up a field hospital that bennet smith reports 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 gloucester, full length, head, and go,

digest dramas. patients were buried in the rubble. we had to do an am petition to save a life of the patient it's leg was gangrenous. then finally, we have saved stabilized him and moved him to other a donna. now the patient profile is changing now gradually, a more of 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 have them on the morning of the quake. i 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 trend. 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 of that happening now. bernard smith, al jazeera, is candor. mean all the you and says, syrian president bashar al assad has agreed to allow a deliveries into the rebel held north west through 2 additional border crossings. at least 5700 people lost their lives and syria. anger is now building their with survivors saying the international community has let them down. aid has been slow to arrive in the country, which has already been ravaged by 12 years of civil war. wrestle soda has more from northern syria. beer in martyrdom the sin in northwest syria. 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 to they cut their st. it's 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 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 aide 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

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 said that o j 0, moderate machine northwest as syria. well, kristen salumi joins us live now from the united nations in new york when a security council close session on syria has been taking place. christians to was taken so long been to get these border crossings approved. while the united nations has maintained that under international law, it needs either permission from the syrian government or a resolution from the security council to allow aid into the country. and until this point, it only had one security council authorized cross border entry point into north

western syria that it was allowed to use. so martin griffith, the chief humanitarian aid chief here at the united nations, went to visit syria over the weekend. and i made an appeal to the president bashar assad for more access to these hard hit areas. they were working on a more aide coming in from within syria as well. but they said that it wasn't happening quickly enough that the act of getting deliveries across the front line in a conflict zone was causing too many headaches and too many problems. and they weren't able to respond quickly enough. so they were granted this extra to these extra to border crossings. the bible salaam and bob all righty. crossings in northwestern syria by the government. and that was the 2 that were

announced by the united nations. but the steering ambassador to the un just came out of a closed door security council meeting and said, in fact, any area is, is okay for aid workers to go to that they would support for the next 3 months anyways, aide getting into the country in whatever way possible to help the people there. and kristen does the you and have what it needs to know rum puppets response for this is awesome. right, well we've heard from some sources that were in that security council meeting that some western countries would still like to see a security council resolution author rising. these additional crossings for the next 3 months. are you an official told me on background that they don't think that they need a security council resolution at this point. they've got the government's permission and as long as, according to a statement from the secretary general,

as long as they have these 2 border crossing points, as well as the sun quicker visa approvals and some easing of transport between hobbs, they think that they will be able to ramp up their response now and get the vitally needed goods in if these commitments are kept. are questions, let me live from un headquarters in new york. kristen, thank you for that. let's bring in to my so della longer from geneva. he's a spokesman for the international federation of red cross and red crescent society has to last a good to have you with us here. look the sheer scale of this disaster put a huge strain on agencies. what is the priority now for people who lost everything? what do they need the most? well, good evening and thanks for the space to where i'm in the scale of the tracks and the 3 men i would talk need from the moment or center to the what are some additional psychological support that they need to really events in which part of

the board, they are talking about of course, or what we should about a month after 12 years to we're call the, the economy crisis. so of course i mean here are growing and these of course is not to under, they made their level of distribution of people with it by the quick into yeah, tomas i mean this disaster struggles to very big countries takia and syria. what's the role then of your volunteers on the ground? what are the challenges they're facing now? well the thing that all about what was, was critical. i mean the, the pilot in the front of the cross, the curtain family of the 15 networking. so i work with them in the local community . so from the 1st moment after the strike volunteers responding to the emergency. and we don't have to underestimate to find that that will. so i was both in that case, kristen and this, you know, not going to christ and where to go personally or the where they suffer with their

family, with their friends, with their beloved. but then they decided to be the 1st responders after that. so we, we saw a great response community level and then as i see, we are supporting them at the international level. i think that the work was critical in the 1st the 1st space in the life saving response and he will be going him on to come because they know exactly that. they don't look up community. yeah, to my son, you made the point about siri. i mean, following years of war and conflict, syria faces some unique challenges. we heard from the u. n. the not enough help is getting through, but syria. just announce earlier that these 2 new border crossings are going to be open. is that like them to help the situation that you think when i think that every effort that the international level there will be much more money than any. and that is what i mean. wescal menus might not mean,

but needed to think about the situation the way before the way many power proceeded just whenever it comes to the lack of fuel. we also call it our insights, just name a few. we have lack of a machinery and we saw that this lack was pretty bad during the day when for infants that need to be cleaned by the day, by the so then they will buy their clinic and go to every quarter. that can be much more you might, that any country is war. me welcome. well then these are the my foot because needs immense. and these were not on. there's not something that we're finishing today tomorrow just to final point to you. i mean, it's been a week now since the quake struck, so the rescue operations a starting to wind down, but what are the long term issues and priorities groups like the policy? because of course, people will need help for a month and the years to come. well, i will say that the 1st of all is there they go to in this moment and then some,

not enough. we have to remember all the time, the heavy past winter and the climate they would say that it would be the priority to get that with food. and they had talked about syria and they call it out. but it was just an addition. and i didn't, these would be critical to myself a lot longer. thank you very much indeed for your time and your analysis tomorrow. thank you very much for talking to us. thank you. a partial break here now to sierra, when we come back, living on the shadow of wool, we hear from civilian struggling to survive near the front lines in the eastern ukraine. and the u. s. claims the, china's using the high altitude balloons for intelligence gathering up to sears of objects were shot down of north america. warned them steamers. ah, this is the image of hong kong. missiles visited the bustling, glamorous city. but on the ground a different reality appears. official figures released in november show the number

of people experiencing homelessness is the highest in a decade and is a shop rise in the number of women experiencing housing insecurity. that report also said there's need for better services and more funds for hostile accommodation as the situation where since it's the middle of winter here in hong kong, and the temperature often drops below 10 degrees at night. people in this underpass are preparing for another nice exposed to freezing conditions. a

we understand the differences and similarities of culture across the world center might have when you call home will but you can use in current affairs that matter to you. ah, ah, welcome back. a comment about top stories here on al jazeera, it's been a week since to devastating earthquakes, hit turkey and syria, and you end up not wanting. the rescue phase of the response was coming to a close. more than 37000 people have been declared dead across the 2 countries. the toll is still expected to rise. but you and says, syrian president bashar assad has agreed to allow a deliveries to the rebel held north west through 2 additional border crossings. it has been slow to ride the country, which has already been ravaged by 12 years of civil war. allows arrows amro al

hobby is that a camp in syria's rebel controlled a friend region families, their fear they could lose what little they have left. because of after shocks, 3 months have colored trees that we are standing at an area that cannot be described as a camp, but simply a number of tents have been put up among the damage residential buildings on the outskirts, free for free for planning, right to show you those 10 pan left to the smoke one, which was partly damage as a result of this quite what it is now is shelter housing, dozens of families whose homes were destroyed for other families. mostly women and children have taken shelter. the most fear of the shocks at the last of which was just a couple of minutes ago had to go back to the attorney we spoke about earlier. this is a civil defense truck bringing more time to house more displaced. we're not able to go further into north west syria because of

a power outage caused by quick volunteers in moscow, have collected tons of aid and denatured over a $1000000.00 so far to help the quake victims out there was some have been jade 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 civilian in russian hill east ukraine . as soon as the earthquake happened in launching the appeal for help, there was 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 into kia and syria, everyone responded. donors, here are ordinary people, not the wealthy law. years have gathered in the basement of most was just much the charities here run the card fund fundraising platform to help those in need

regardless of their faith or location. the oldest, one dear here is 91 of as many as 500 people doing what they can for the earthquake victims. i guess fanny's chechens has ex totters, have all come together to help her via 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 for helping out. carina 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 are so call it a lot of good use and a lot of people. but if these people are unusual for me, they are. so i, i, i don't,

don't to many here get emotional talking about the plight of the victims and the dedication of the volunteers. this is the, understand the scale of the disaster and will continue to collect much needed 8 with the victims. some of the other 0 moscow. some other well, he's now a nato secretary general has urged european defense ministers to speed up arms and fuel supplies to ukraine. that's as russia ramps up it's offensive in the eastern city or back moot. a warning view as may find some image is disturbing. same bus robbie has this report from the capital cave. ukrainian forces say they've repelled multiple assault on the town of wallader, south of the besieged city of buckman. and claim to have destroyed more than 100 armoured fighting vehicles near there in the past week, wiping out potentially hundreds of russian soldiers. but russia says it is continuing to take territory in the east all be at one small piece at

a time. and ukrainians have been killed by the dozen. the ground reality in this war of attrition depends on who you ask. the eastern front line is more than a 1000 kilometers long. fighting too small to register may not make headlines. but even the smallest skirmish seen through the eyes of one family, can become the greatest of tragedies, evacuating from fuller door, the agony of one families decision to abandon their home. outweighed only by the pain of knowing. they waited too long. the strain perhaps too great for one grandmother, her heart stopped moments before reaching safety relief at being out of danger replaced by the grief of loss. so we have to convince the people for an hour or 2 sometimes. then your relatives persuade them. we talk to them, the police talk to them in the military administration says you have to evacuate,

but that doesn't convince them. for some reason. ukrainian positions and bullet are have held since the start of the war, but russians out number ukrainians on the front line and are making gains nor more vigilant. i cannot say for sure, i hope, and i am sure that we will hold both in buttonwood. this is our land, this is our home, our relatives, our families, our cities behind us. those living in the war zone experience freezing temperatures and a lack of food, electricity, and water. de boer cannot hear from me. i usually feel, god forbid, forces from retreating, leaving us behind enemy lines. god forbid, i will not survive this again. those who have watched loved ones die, their homes destroyed and are still here. say, this should not be happening in the 21st century. will the latest offensive get worse? can their military hold out against overwhelming odds?

will there be more missile strikes? will more western help get here in time? days before a milestone. this country was hoping to avoid a year of war with russia. ukrainians are seeking answers to tough questions. one thing has remained constant throughout this conflict, where russia and ukraine meet on the battlefield. civilian suffering soon follows then basra vo, 0 key. in tennessee, police of arrested the head of missouri. g f. m radio a private station known to deal with social issues in station broken. a statement that nobody in baton house was search before he was arrested rights group say political freedoms have been sliding. the president said, shut down parliament in 2021 and took control of the judiciary. tens of thousands of his rainy's rallied on monday against prime minister benjamin netanyahu proposals to reform the judicial system. demonstrate has gathered outside the concert as a parliamentary committee approved a vote to go ahead for a tradition reform. several high reports from western washington.
