them, but some olive branch is collected from farms which they burn out. there are thousands of families here in the countryside as gender is saying. here is a child. let's see where he sleeps in such cold weather. this blanket is the only thing available for him. this is the situation of tens of families here. my words are not enough to describe the situation for this child has other families around here living in a similar situation. as you can see here, along the road and for about 2 kilometers, you will see people of different ages suffering with no help except for a few blankets and temperatures below 0 during the 99 nations has been under intense pressure to get more aid into series rebel held northwest, it says 58 trucks have cross from turkey over the past week, but it will start sending more now. it has permission to use 2 more border crossings. the announcement of the decision by prism as to the out, the 2 extra points from and to no question was welcomed. and of course,
12:04 pm
we are all the to move quickly, implement that decision and to get trucks been then what this process wind agreement will do is to up the volume of supplies that we will be able to use in small web, syria, with some international aid has already arrived in northwestern sir russell soda has more from the town of america mission. this rebel held areas were heavily formed by the regime throughout the 12 year long civil war. last week's earthquake has made things worse, killing thousands, an injury, and many more. on the radar sally, the head of the syrian civil defense forces, also known as white helmets, says the globe responds to the disaster has been to a little while i had a thought, so i am bad. i've had the most difficult 7 days of my life. we've been forgotten
12:05 pm
for years and the world didn't hear us. if the world had heard our voice. we wouldn't have lost these souls in marta to be seen in italy province where the earthquake kit, the hardest aid is, desperately made it. but not hath rosner. we've been displaced several times in the last 9 years. we don't know what is ahead of us that this earthquake displaced us again when we lost our homes and families, but we need shelter. the country aid conway has brought pants. diapers, heaters, gas cylinders, blankets, food and medical keys, toyota, and more detail. we've been ordered by the emir of guitar to keep the 8 supply line open to the syrians. we now see that the syrian people need our support, especially in this current crisis. that pains now doubled, and the international community needs to step up its support. in north syria, hospitals already lack modern recruitment. many survivors died on the way to hospitals, or soon after arrival, as of this region is home to more than 4000000 people of life here was already
12:06 pm
tough and the earthquake has just added to their misery. disasters overlap in syria . more than a decade long civil war has left very little to theory and they built makes you shelters. it was much but still home. and we had this roy that too many syrians feel been neglected by the rest of the world. now, the help is needed here more than ever this we started the jazz era, modern machine northwest area as in hot or is it the border between turkey and syria, where the trucks are crossing the decision to use more border crossing means more lifelines for the people inside northwest syria, syrians desperate for much needed assistance, the northwest as well as other cities and government controlled areas were badly hit during last week's earthquake. now, many are seeing this as
12:07 pm
a surprise, really, because during the course of the war, the syrian government with the backing of russia has prevented united nations and the international community from using border crossings. in fact, they've close to 4 of them in recent years and only left one open bed. but now the united nations will be able to use 2 more crossings among them better. so let me so the united nations is welcoming this move. there were high level talks in damascus yesterday. some believe that, you know, backdoor deals were, were made at the end of the day. the international community is pouring a lot of money and relief aid into syria and that the us treasury a few days ago, lifted some sanctions on bank transfers into syria for, for relief aids. but more than that, many believe this cooperation coming from the syrian president, this part of a campaign to really exploit a few like the situation in order for him to regain political legitimacy. so the
12:08 pm
world engages with him. and this is what's concerning, the syrian opposition in 2 brothers have been pulled from under rubble, off being trapped for more than a $198.00 ounces. 8 days, 17 and 20 year olds were rescued in car my marsh. that's close down to steph deka. there's life for us right there and stuff. it is extraordinary now after 8 days, still more rescues taking place. yes and at the moment in the sight behind us it's gone quiet because they believe to her something. you have the chinese listen in team here that they've called in. some of them are sitting behind us, the others. i've had it in with our equipment to try to listen for voices under the rubble of what we understand around 22 people remain buried under what are multiple buildings here. we've also just had 2 french search and rescue workers arrive via
12:09 pm
they were looking for someone who spoke english. nobody did their i translated for them through to lay our, our producer base. we, they'd gotten a call that a voice was heard from this hotel. and in the army, let the men and they've gone off for to try and, and listen so very much. still an active search and rescue operation. 8 days on nick, which of course gives incredible hope to the families here. you saw you had 2 young men pulled from the rubble ally alive in the early hours of this morning. you've had one more pulled out of the rubble in add your mind. that's another city. of course, the overwhelming reality is that it is the dead that are being pulled from underneath their homes. but you know, these kinds of scenes when it goes quiet when they bring in the specialized teams cuz that's how it works. you'll have the volunteer is they search through the rubble, you have some of the heavy equipment and then when they suspect that they hear something that there is life they call in the specialist, these are mostly at either the turkish specialist or the various many, many foreign rescue teams that are here. we've got about 15 international teams in
12:10 pm
this city. ah, which was of course, one of the epa centers which is why it's so incredibly destroyed. we have such difficult and delicate work and what about the broader rescued relief effort? stuff while they go on air in multiple cities i, i, you know, there's a lot of focus now on this city because it was one of the epicenter. you still have areas where hardly anyone has reached areas in hattie province. for example. you have areas that no one has reached no help is reach. i mean, we've been focusing a lot on syria where you know, nothing has reached really and comparison to what we've seen here. we arrived here on day 2 of the earthquake on a guitar. we ate flight. we spent a couple of hours at the airport and gov yon tap about a couple of hours away from here. we saw the kuwaitis arrived, the french arrived, the brits arrived. the spanish are here. we see multiple to singapore in sierra. yesterday. we bumped into an observer, johnny, teen fire fighter,
12:11 pm
is volunteer. so you have an incredible, a operation of help happening here now across turkey and it still isn't enough. one of the volunteers yesterday said to me he was turkish. he said a he brought, he got quite emotional when he said that he pulled an 8 year old boy from the rubble that he said, i imagined my own son in that situation. and he said, no child should be, should be going through this. and then at the same time, he said, even if every single country in the world sent teams to help, and he's talking just about turkey not series, that it wouldn't be enough because of the scale of devastation. it's not just in one area like just briefly. we were talking to a dishonest offer, he said, you know haiti maybe was just as bad, but it was only focus on the capital, poor to prince. this is a complete devastation across massive hundreds and hundreds of kilometers of south eastern turkey and northwest syria. so it gives you an indication of just how or how insurmountable in a way the task is indeed a very, very, very hard for moved. and so step thanks very much. in anchor,
12:12 pm
the turkish government is being accused of failing to take precautions to minimize earthquake damage, opposition. politicians say the government did not act on advice from experts who had wound of impending danger. sinner, consumer reports not from the capital. turkish blacks have been raised up again in the capital on kara, after a week of national mourning for the 10s of thousands of people killed by 2 major earthquakes in the southern region. opposition parties say much of the distraction could have been avoided if the government had hated the warnings by experts of an impeding quake. this video is from last summer. it shows an opposition politician and cut him on marsh. the epicenter of last week's earthquake urging the authorities to take would be cushions to minimize damage. yet he kicked him, loosened their old poet as of the opposition. the party has been visiting the quick affected region and is accusing the government of its late response. he says the
12:13 pm
damaged infrastructure, which cuts access to some areas was also built by the current government would be for an actor. for an umbrella. it is a disaster that after 20 years of governing as a single party, you haven't taken any necessary measures here. despite that, there was an earthquake 3 years ago. there's no excuse for a move of seeking accountability is another thing, but it's a systemic issue. we'll solve this altogether, though. we don't have time for reproach or descent. last week, turkish president, red tape ardon, inspected the ongoing rescue and relief efforts in all 10 cities affected by the quick and acknowledged problems with the initial response is or took a qu. we're dealing with zach the with common sense and collect of wisdom. but sure . all of our ministers, especially our president, have regular contact without teams in the field. we manage this process based on
12:14 pm
field feedback and consultations. this is a collaborative effort between our ministries and related organizations loser. all parties in a turkish parliament, including the governing up party, have mobilized their members to help the victims to the case for appearing for a presidential election. that is most likely the most difficult for president ridge of tape our john, who's been in power for more than 20 years last, monday's earthquakes will almost certainly have political ramifications. for now, what size appear to us has found that they are campaigns as they work to help millions. hoover, in fact it seen after solo al jazeera anti nearly 10000 date workers from 74 countries and non turkey. and more on the way the indian army has set up a field hospital in the port city of his camden furnace with as this, the turkish public health system has collapsed here in a scoundrel. the indian army is filling the gap. it's field hospital in
12:15 pm
a school is the only health facility serving a pre earthquake population of a quarter of a 1000000 people. initially, we had dramas, law, so gloucester, full length, head and o chest dramas. patients were buried in the rubble, we had to do an amputation to save a life of the patient, it's leg was gangrenous. then finally, we have a saved stabilized him and moved him to other a donna. now, the patient profile is changing, now gradually immortal. the infectious diseases are coming in, the turkish government has struggled to cope with a disaster of the scale. so it citizens are relying on aid from across the world. no further. on the morning of the quake hum at 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. my outside. the public hospital opposite. the school is in too
12:16 pm
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. some is it, i am, has been following the latest of items. now from nadia. the last 2 bodies of the last 2 children who were trapped in the rubble of that building behind me, we're 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,
12:17 pm
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 nighttime, so we can get the drone up. but there's a tent city, which the authorities have put up here. and those people, they are now getting things like blankets to them. they're getting food to them.
12:18 pm
but the still an issue is some basic to the had a country that has a lot of oil in it, wanting to find out why the government sometimes struggled. ah . with that peninsula malaise is quite drawing. now you can't necessarily tell from the satellite picture which is showing a lot of cloud, but the focus on forecast. wet weather. big thunderstorms is the central and southern philippines may be sort of waste in borneo and increasing the java. so marsh is still seen quite a few days and assault. it looks dry and singable are you qualify for, for example, as much cooler now in thailand, top end of australia could see a developing tropical cipher. it's certainly
12:19 pm
a circulation is showing itself. that means heavy rain, persistent, heavy rain for the next 2 days in a few shall down to the coast of crazy new southwest. look, the temperature melba you're up to 30 as taking a while to come through and it's now warmer than purse, which is the unusual event this summer. i have to say, same story continues during thursday, but we should probably look a bit further south new zealand, where the remains should court maze out the tropical cycle, which is now just a 2nd should be on wednesday. south of north island state university is probably still going to be in force, but the weather is much better. but fearing christ church, you still got wind and rain. this circulation continues and it's not just on wednesday on thursday. if anything it forces the rain back up into wellington and elsewhere in norfolk and it's not gone by friday, awe inspiring stories from around the world i human life and it's
12:20 pm
a vast one. this deal like that presentation of what i want people to remember me by. groundbreaking phones from award winning filmmakers. witness on a jazz eda. ah ah. how to get you, what she out 0 reminder about top stories a saw and syria has given you permission to use 2 more border crossings from turkey . 8 to send aid to rebel held. there is affected by last week's earthquakes.
12:21 pm
supplies have been slow to arrive in the country that suffered 12 years of civil war. it's been a day since those quakes hit turkey in syria. walton, 37000 people have been declared dead across both countries. but there are still some stories of survival rescue crews and turkey. they've cheered and hugged each other after coming for earthquakes, of august to safety. 2 of those rescued, what brothers they were found alive after spending more than 80 days trapped under rubble. he's seen as prime minister says damage caused by sight. clone. gabrielle is the worst degeneration. a national state of emergency has been declared. storm batted the north island, bringing high winds and torrential rain. well then to a $100000.00 homes are without power. some areas have been cut off by flood waters . gabriel is the most significant with the venge. new zealand has seen this century . the severity and the breadth of the dim, the damage that we are seeing has not been experienced in a generation. this morning we declared
12:22 pm
a national emergency for only the 3rd time in our history. this is a very significant event for the electricity network, and the companies have not seen this level of damage since cycling bowler in 1988 there owns president abraham racy, has arrived in china for a 3 day visit aimed at strengthening economic ties. china is around the largest trade partner and the biggest customer for rainy and all those jaffar reports now from tara forging stronger ties. iranian president abraham racy, met his chinese counterpart, cheating, ping on the sidelines of the shanghai corporation organisation. last september. it was beckett on that's where she didn't ping underscore china support for iran and invited his radian counterpart to beijing with iran under heavy us, lead sanctions more than a 5th of its exports go to china. the country's biggest export market. according to the same government figures, china is also iran,
12:23 pm
the 2nd biggest source of imports. in 2021. iran and china signed a 25 year strategic cooperation agreement, ranging from oil and mining to transportation and agriculture. surf heather jello. it is somewhat bitchy me, so i wanna this trip can provide a good step towards implementing these plans. in the last 12 months, iran has exported worth and $14000000000.00 to china, an increase of 58 percent from the previous year. and we have imported more the $13000000000.00 from china latisha following the united states pull out from the 2015 nuclear deal with iran in 2018 and re imposed sanctions. iran has faced the toughest economic situation in over 40 years, according to the parliament, this cost economy between a $150.00 and $200000000000.00. while iran and china have had tense relations with the united states, they continue to project themselves as a counterweight to american power alongside russia and abraham braces,
12:24 pm
look east policy to deepen ties of beijing is at the forefront of that goal. as well as the aim of his 1st official visit to china. door sobari al jazeera to her on nature defense ministers. he meets in brussels to discuss boosting support for ukraine launch. his secretary general has promised more ammunition. for keith. we see no sign starts the president putin and is preparing for peace. ah, what receives the opposite to her? he is preparing for more a war for new offensive sunday and new attacks. so it makes it just even more important data. and they draw us on partners. huh. provides more supporter to ukraine. that's cause now to start vast and who's lived with us from brussels and steps of the meeting comes ahead of the 1st anniversary of russia's invasion. tell us more about what's expected. what can be discussed while it is interesting that now the main focus is not so my john,
12:25 pm
have you weapons? because of course, in the last couple of months since this ukraine, they're working group has been installed to help military support for ukraine. it's all been about air defense systems and tanks. but today the main focus is on ammunition. and nato has done an extraordinary survey as they call it. and they found that these talks are very much running low in nato countries right now. so a lot of ammunition has been sent to ukraine in the past year. and not only is ukraine now are risking to run low on emanation, but also nato countries themselves are running low on ammunition. so what we're expecting here today is sir, a talks about how to join forces to as a speed up production, or to have a joint contracts among the countries to have these ammunition production lines, speeding up a stock number of the secretary journal. it was even talking about, you know, working through out the we can sir, late night shifts. i mean,
12:26 pm
the factories had to go on full speed to keep up with the mans. so that's one of the main topics, but also of course, and not a hot topic as the f sixteens president lansky has directly asked and natal for f sixteens. he calls them a wings of freedom. and one of the countries that has these f sixteens $24.00 of them that they want to phase out by next year is denette ellen's. and i asked the for a defense minister of the netherlands, or what she replied to ukraine. wendy directly asked for these fighter jets air looking of course ahead and air defense is very important to ukraine in this war that might drag on for some time. so i completely understand this request, but her and my colleague also understand that this is something that will take time because we have to coordinate with our partner countries. and we really have to
12:27 pm
think through the possibility the consequences. well this will definitely dash some hopes the ukrainians might have that from this meeting, there will be a summer green light for f sixteens. also, the secretary general sat, it takes time to sandy's fighter planes because it needs a lot of training. it needs months of training and also poland. for example, who has said these at sixteens has said that only within nato, if nato as a group takes a decision to send these fighter jets that they want to go along with this. but also within nato, germany, of course it's also still very reluctant, so it doesn't look like this or fighter jets this new step up of military support to ukraine. because that would be a new phase basically that that's gonna happen in the next day. here are the next 2 days when these meetings are ongoing, or i step faster. service reporting russell's a gunman who's shot dead,
12:28 pm
3 people at the university campus in the united states. it happened at mich can state university in the city of east lansing fire. others were taken to hospital some with life threatening injuries. the suspect ran off but was found dead about 4 hours later, reportedly with self inflicted wounds. so saddam heard some of africa's largest oil reserves, but its economy is struggling, and millions of people depend on humanitarian aid for their survival. civil servants own less than $20.00 a month. i room it as a report now from the capital jew, anthony se, who does part time jobs, fleming weightings providing sound systems, sometimes construction work to an extra cash. he's been a civil servant in felt to don for more than 12 years. but he sees what he earns from the government is not enough to pay the bills. if i, if i can tell you, my salary is less than $15.00 and i'm getting water
12:29 pm
for one for one week is more than $20.00. that's only drinking water from the tankless. then you can then from here you can see forget about forward, forget about you for the kids. forget about closing. forget about shoring. this is it is very tough. after gaining independence from sudan in 2011 conflicts between rival leaders have undermined growth and development. millions of people displaced by conflict, still living displacement camps across the country. ah, corruption, inflation, natural disasters, communal violence, rising food prices and the high cost of living are adding to their problems. thousands, economy relies on oil and agriculture, making it vulnerable to climate change and fluctuating energy prices. the government use of all revenues to pay salaries and finance other development projects was that me karma say that's no longer sustainable part of the capital job
12:30 pm
i have transformed since a peace agreement was signed in 2018. but this oil dependent economy hasn't fully explored, aspire, diversity and mineral resources, develop what solid, other minerals that have been employed, others are being used, then you have sustainability. oil in there was sustainable. well, way. that's why we call it a volatile commodity. last year, the international monetary fund said it would, or these emergency financing to help solve it unaddressed food shortages and supports social spending. many people here say is taking too long to turn around. economy had him to us out of their job. ah. so this is out there are, these are the top stories and syria has given you him permission to use 2 more border crossings from turkey to allow aid to be delivered to rebel held. there is humanitarian supplies have been slow to get in.
