7:13 am
and ship urgently needed help for quick victims in turkey and syria. in the last few months, they've been collecting humanitarian aid for civilians in russian held east ukraine . as soon as the earthquake happened, the launching appeal for help, a brought in by everyone, people like you and me bring in all they have. i know a lot of people who part to jackets out of the 3 they had and only kept one. as soon as they found out about the trouble, inter kia and syria, everyone responded. donors, here are ordinary people. not the wealthy wanted to years have gathered in the basement of schools law. just most the charities here run the card fund fundraising platform to help those in need regardless of their faithful location. the oldest one until here is 91 of as many as 500 people doing what they can for the earthquake victims. i guess tony's chechens context potters have all come together to help her if the admissions and ethnic groups make up the 20000000 or so muslims

7:15 am
her being gathering and processing data from to kia to improve models of the false underground column baker hospital. the tectonic plate under to kia is in constant motion. it's false 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 with quick ruptured along a 300 kilometer stretch of the east on a 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 a,
7:16 am
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. it's your default 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 scientists from institutions, inter kia are tracking the cracks above the faults called fishers to understand how the grounds slid and ruptured. what we do is to look for face of default, as you see just behind me. so face, and remember them. so we are trying to figure out which met which fault and how long did it ruptured?
7:17 am
these tremors have affected 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. well still had here all al jazeera living under the shadow of war we hear from civilians struggling to survive by the front lines in easton ukraine. uneasy lin devise a national state of emergency, a cycling, gabrielle pummels north island with powerful winds and storm surges. they stories after the break. ah it's been snowing him to run these slices of cloud. still, there are what brought out snow new should the sauce region is summer like turkey, or where you tend to get

7:22 am
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. though we have to convince the people for an hour or 2 sometimes, then your relatives persuade them. we talk to them the polish talk to dana, 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 no more vigilance. i cannot say for sure, i hope,
7:23 am

7:25 am
sensitivity to track smaller low speed objects. if not fair, that's why more were being detected. or if there had been a sudden influx of such objects. the canadian prime minister, however, suggested a connection between the 3 objects intercepted since friday, but i think obviously there is some sort of pattern in there. the fact that we are seeing this in a significant degree over the past week is a cause for interest and close attention, which is exactly what we're doing on sunday, the head of, nor at or the north american aerospace defense command raised eyebrows with an answer to a question about whether the origins of the objects may be extra terrestrial. i haven't ruled out anything. at this point on monday the white house was still not rooting anything out. had this to say. there is no, again, no indication of aliens or extra terrestrial activity. with these recent take downs, us as the 3 objects shot down were to lower altitude to the chinese balloon shot

7:27 am
all the roads going in and out of these places have been cut off by slips or fallen trees in some places, entire road is gone. the land under them has just simply disappeared. i'm wip in speaking to people who've been trapped in their cars, or am they trapped on the ribs of their houses waiting risky? which is i had job considering just how windy it is there a helicopters in the area, but there's only so much they can do in the middle of a site clone. abil zealand. the fence force has of course, been deployed to health as well. the list of towns affected there was really only guessing longer and longer. and it's the size of these places where we simply don't know about many of them. and that's because communication is a big challenge for everyone right across new zealand. at the moment's am that we don't know how many people entitle or without power and cell phone reception as well as dodgy. the residents have been told to get away from rising flood waters. i'm don't wait for those evacuation orders if they see them and get to higher
