rigorous debate, we challenged conventional wisdom and demand the truth apart with me. mark lamb on hill on al jazeera, russia's law in ukraine has dominated, well leave for the past 12 months. devastating for those in the line of fire, or directly impacted. it has strength and global alliances and deepened divisions with far reaching effects on the lives of millions of people weld wide. in a week heard special coverage al jazeera explores every aspect of the conflict, the human, the political, and the economic, and the possibilities of resolution. ukraine war one here on, on out there. ah,

ah, you're watching the news, our live from a headquarters until heim daddy navigator coming up in the next 60 minutes. a un delegation crosses and to rebel held north western syria from turkey for the 1st time since last week's earthquakes. lime sammy's a dam, live from argona in southwestern tortilla, where the dust has settled from rescue operations in some parts of the earthquake zone. but in all those, the operations continued incredibly rescuing 2 brothers from the rubble. also, i had this hour she was the un ambassador and donald trump's cabinet. but now nikki haley is challenging him in the republican race for the white house. and iran's president talks with she jumping in beijing, china says it supports iran and resisting unilateral was him and bullying. and

peter, famous with your sports means for our launches a new car for the f one season. and the champions league returns with paris benjamin taking on by munich in the last 16. ah, you're joining us live here from the south of turkey in the heart of the earthquakes. and of course, there is suffering right across this region within to here and across the border in syria. our focus begins across that border in a war torn country. now hard hit find us quite well. dozens of n g o r, calling for unfettered access to the people affected by the earthquake. a 1st few n team to enter rebel held northwest and syria has tooled some of the worst effected areas that comes after the asset. government granted the un commission to use to

more border crossings from total care to bring a to syria truckloads the supplies of slowly been making their way into position held areas. we have a team of correspondence covering this disaster across to kia and inside syria. so in the start, the coverage from gender, it's one of the hardest hit areas in syria. there is desperation. on the grounds, we are in gender as one of the hardest hit areas in northern syria and this town alone, more than $1100.00 people were killed, a whole neighborhood now reduced to rubble. people here say that they've lost their family members. neighbors in this house alone, if you remember that newborn child, which was who was rescued, fill attached by the umbilical cord. she's now in hospital and she lost her whole family. so you have many stories like this here. but unlike in southern kiya

here in syria, you don't see the international rescue teams who don't see an international aid effort to help the people on the ground. news of the opening of the to border crossings undoubtedly will help of the situation on the ground. so far, 8 has been trickling in from the bible, how of crossing? now the syrian government says it's going to allow a to enter from 2 other crossings from turkey and the international community, the united nations that are hoping that their initial response, which really has been criticized was an adequate will step up. but people here are angry because they're saying why the united nations or the world have to wait for an approval from the syrian president, bashar i said those, you know, people here do not consider him a legitimate leader. but a brutal dictator who killed tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people during the course of the war,

they were hoping that the international community would just use those routes without his approval. and the fear here is that what sharla is trying to do is gain political legitimacy by showing that he is still in charge. so you have that anger . and at the same time, you also have a lot of frustration. people here feel that they were abandoned by the international, by the international community. we now want to bring you some stories of the survivors of the earthquake and syria and the desperate situation. they now find themselves in general. so people are working day and night, but we need to find refuge, but don't know where we're waiting for god to give us relief. and as you know, it is winter. now there are women and children, so we need to secure heating, security, food, water, which is a minimum until things get more organized. i know that the the, i just another model denise of the displeased or no attend foods and water. we

receive food aid, and many good people help. we still need food and water, nothing more than that. thank god we now took refuge in the stand out. was everything around her last everyone i know in the 3 building that used to be next to me. i lost my neighbors and my children, 7 friends in the building. next to us, we lost a large number of people who used to live near us. my neighbors, my friends, colleagues, and partners. i went to a costume as a journalist, living in northern syria and she describes the anger, the frustration people are feeling. they're really in the summer that i didn't know the number of trucks and tad from robin hood or from the you and not exceed 15 extracts from you and tied until now people here why helmet elation coding for the, for the international community,

for the you and for more aide to enter the city after these days off to be witnessed after what the field because of the destruction here because what the last of sels because they couldn't save alcohol or as many people as possible, know they are depressed and they feel that they are a bonded need to so large is larger than everything larger than the abilities here in the kids to no, no equipment, no mechanical, no vehicles and to support or to help him with discipline defense. remember who will coding for? international aids is enough. the student from the early or beginning from the 1st moment of the week. what entered from how border from the us side is kind of tracks who did not exceed 15 tracks. these tracks were planned to enter the studio even before the week. so it's not an earthquake.

all right, part of the reason where here you might remember if you want just a couple of days ago, we were here live when a rescue effort was ongoing. behind the walls and a clear space of ground, it was a pile of rubble of a building that one stood here. well, now that operation has ended the building and the rubble of been removed. but as you can also see behind me, other buildings have been damaged. and when we arrived here today, there was a lot of commotion going on about with the residents about what happens next for them. we're delighted to have a resident with us, ma'am. at the lives in that building, which is behind us. but check it should be so lot. i'm good off my question. shonda. net. sure thing for you. shonda to look better unless years at the moment temporarily. i live with a family deangela shave alma,

judy clair is the most issue that was in most of the really been alma's and you did a lot from this book. we need to have this rebuild rebuild for us to be able to continue live in back in that we have been living all those years. so our children tend securely. they don't want to continue to receive the same education from the same teachers in their schools. they don't want to be to located to the end of it us and i don't want to be located in my home or my dad is not actually the damage from the damage caused by the other buildings. hold up to my son to our business center. what do you want to go to the you don't want you are going to be do new homes? no, we just want to need we just want to live in the same place. same house and our home

is not damaged from the quick. and also i live here, i work nearby and i don't want to live in a, in that area than here. i'm a coach, munoz, sort of hustler. but, you know, care too, because of the damages caused. you know, of course, we get not picking up the damage but this can be reconstructed from us. and if this is not done according to the new standard us, that's should be all well, so those who have either insurance or not, everybody should should have homes that we did not care

and do not have insurance. and yes, yeah, nobody, as from this building or in this area, especially elderly, they do not want to move elsewhere because they don't want to break apart from the location that they grow up. david burn perhaps and grow up and have friends, family, and all the ties in this area. so, but it is not right for and what anybody to expect us to reach the summit us. thank you very much for your answers. that was matt medea talking to us here, resident of that building behind us. well of course the, there are other stories here. the stories of people being pulled out alive from the rubble, the number of those people, of course growing smaller by the day, if not by the hour, despite the old still humming, credible stories of survival. on tuesday,

one woman pulled from under the debris and her tie province more than 200 hours after the quakes hit. and the 2 men were also found alive. a lot of the drama played out and the tension in come on, but that's what stephanie deca joins us now live from. how is that operation looking now? stephanie? well unfortunately, the operation that we were following yesterday in last night did not end well. they did not find any survivors in the end. but this morning, another family getting good news. 2 young men were pulled alive from the rubble in another location, but the reality is, is you've seen as well savvy, is that it's the vast majority or dead bodies that are being pulled out of the rubble. we saw 2 at a site just behind. we spoke to the driver of the more car and you see them everywhere. he said that he's been driving the bodies back to their families,

back to where they want to bury them. and that this is part of his duty. very, very difficult. also tension here. we saw one area just a little bit north of here. the chinese rescue team was there. they listen. i'm tension ensued between it could have been a relative and some of the, the workers, there was a fight, a physical fight. so much of the army had to fire in the air, which is the 1st time that we've seen that from our travels across this devastated region. but it shows you just tell us how high the tensions are. if you look around me, we are standing on what used to be. people told reason of course been cleared, but this is the scene across the city and not just here, but on my dash, but also many, many other cities, a crowd across the south east and your guest was talking there about rebuilding. this is going to be a major challenge. they're going to have to clear the rubble, the buildings that remain standing are certainly not fit. none of the residents will be able to return. so it is a long term challenges is

a heartbreaking challenge. and it's going to be very, very difficult one to manage certainly for talking over a 1000000 people that are meeting long term housing. absolutely. a difficult challenge ahead indeed, and not only when it comes to getting people out, not only with providing for their needs on they come out. but there's also the question of sanitation of infectious diseases. at this point. let's not forget, this is day 8 after the earthquake dealing with bodies that raises some risks and challenges to me. we spoke about those sorts of issues with dr. mamma j hahn. an expert in infectious diseases. you can see that the clock tarver. it is the symbol off the arm on and it shows the exact time off the earthquake. what is the the city over a week ago?

a 417, a young in the morning and the clothes. just stop there. people here say that the life that the time has stop in this city and over there you can see another block that is completely level down. the rescue teams are still less. leslie working heavy lifting machinery is actually because are still working over. we do not know whether there is anyone who is still alive under the rubble. this is just one of the across the city. there are tons of such scenes, and particularly the city center has been mostly this roy here. just a little ago, i was talking to the deputy mayor of the city and he told me that so far they had buried more than a 1000 people and their estimating that the number probably is going to be somewhere between 10000 to 15. it is quite big, it's too much for

a city of this size. so also people here are quite angry. they say that particularly for the 1st 3 days, they didn't receive enough aid. there wasn't escalators, there, wouldn't the diggers, heavy lifting missionaries and also lack of coordination here that if they had that's probably a menu of those we have by could be rescued. i always say that was our correspondent, sol, solved all that talking about the challenges may, is facing as the pressure piles and authorities and of course is just not local authorities which are feeling that pressure lot of criticism aimed at the government. the national government in ankara, accusations that they failed to take necessary precautions to minimize the damage from this earthquake. more details now, the stadium costs are all new. turkish

flags have been raised up again in the capital, encore after a week of national mourning for the 10s of thousands of people killed by 2 major earthquakes in the southern region. opposition, party 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 carmen marsh. the epicenter of last week's earthquake urging dear thor it is to take would be cushions to minimize damage. yet if he'd get him in there, all pointed out of the opposition. the party has been visiting the quick affected region and is accusing the government of its late response. he says the damaged infrastructure, which cut access to some areas was also built by the current government will be productive. when 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, treasure tape ardon, inspected the ongoing rescue and relief efforts in all 10 cities affected by the quick, an acknowledged problems with the initial response or took a qu. we're dealing with zach the with common sense and collect of wisdom bush. so all of our ministers, especially our president, have regular contact without teams in the field. we manage this process based on field feedback and consultations. this is a collaborative effort between our ministries and related organizations. all parties in the turkish parliament, including the governing up party, have mobilized their members to help the victims case, preparing for

a presidential election. that is most likely the most difficult for president legislature. 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 suspend their campaigns as they work to help millions who been effective? soon i'm 2 solo al jazeera on friday night is falling here now and so on temperatures in that cold weather. one of the biggest challenges that face is earthquake survive as well. let's find out what's in store as time goes ahead with rob is still significantly freezing. of and i, the vast majority of the search, every sandra minus 20 up in the mountains in rural positive q, and the will be increasing cloud. i think tonight, the snow's coming into the north of the country. we might get a flurry or 2 having a bit further faster that weren't to be tonight. it might just be briefly tomorrow morning if example, color on my rush. but beyond that, it's largely

a sunny picture attempts come well above freezing. and there is some goodish news in the story here because in a left which represents the whole of northern sir, in this case, the temperature, the hinting it, rising above freezing. are these getting to freezing over night? so a hint of a slight warming trend. very slide, it doesn't really exist on fate on the turkey side, but the sun is still out during the day. so conditions are effectively stayed much the same as for the skies. yeah, they clear quite rapidly during thursday and we're back to where we are. i'm gonna ask on camera man now to pan around and show you what we have going on in this area. cuz this is something we've been seeing all day here. people are coming to this spot where the building used to stand that was hit by the earthquake. and in many cases we've seen today, they sit down. in one case, a lady sat down and cried. it's, it says it,

all. these are people who used to live in this area live in the building. they've lost their homes. some of them are finding hard to let go of what is a disaster zone, because it is the life that they have known. there is a fear of the unknown in the future going forward. there are concerns and a very human story is playing out for us that really says volumes about the trauma about the scars that are left not only on the ground, but in the psyche of people that will continue for a while. i'm going to hand it back now to darian in doha. sammy, thank you very much for that report. anger sammy's aidan reporting for us from a donna in turkey. yay! we will go on to other news now and tell you about nato defense ministers, because they've been meeting in brussels to discuss boosting support for ukraine. the alliance is secretary general has promised more ammunition for keith. we see no

sign starts. the person to, to him is preparing for peace. ah, what receives the opposite sir? he is preparing for more a war for new offensive son and a new attacks. so it makes it just even more important that the in a draw us on partners. her broad, more supporter to ukraine. steadfast and has more from brussels. it's quite an urgent appeal or for more ammunition for ukraine. they're basically ukraine is so shooting more ammunition those shells than the natal can produce at the moment. so production lines have to work harder. old production life had already had been stopped because there was no need have to be revamped and reused again. so that's basically the message here from the secretary general. and the other thing of course is the main topic on these at sixteen's. these fighter jets that president lansky has been asking for. he called them winks of for freedom. one of the

countries that has these of sixties and they have $24.00 and they want to face them out by next year is the netherlands. but there is still this said this unity among natal, poland who was also, i've 16 have said they only want to send them to ukraine when the whole block is supporting this. and germany is really not that keen. so there's not gonna be any answer. very likely to be heard here in this meeting about the f sixteens, but ammunition, ammunition and ammunition is on the agenda. moldova has closed its aerospace for what is called safety reasons before reopening later than this comes a day after it's president accused moscow of plodding to topple her government. on monday maya sand do, said she'd confirmed an allegation made by ukrainian president, followed him as a lensky, that his country's intelligence services had discovered a plan by russia to bring down moldova pro e u. government. sans who said russia is aiming to use moldova in the war against

under the rubble. china says 20 cooperation agreements have been signed with iran as president. but i have to see how talks with chipping in beijing. china is iran largest trade partner and a major customer for iranian oil. katrina, you reports from beijing. abraham. the easy was welcome debating with the grad ceremony at the great hall of the people. it's the radiant president's 1st visit to china and his 2nd meeting with chinese leaders. she didn't pink since september. she says iran is an old friend of china. both sides are working to deepen ties in the face of growing tensions, but the united states, older beijing denies. this is the reason for the visit. you already view when you call operation between china and the ron does not tardy any country on tuesday that i, you see also met with chinese premier liquor chung and the head of the national people's congress. lee judge shoe guild resigned to extend corporation in trade agriculture

and infrastructure plans made under a 25 year strategic agreement, signed in 2021. china is a ron's biggest trading partner, and the only customer of it's heavily sanctioned oil exports. and the last 12 months, iran has exported more than $14000000000.00 to china, an increase of 58 percent from the previous year. and we of imported more than $13000000000.00 from china. us lead sanctions have left around in its toughest economic situation in more than 40 years. beijing has condemned the sanctions and washington to withdraw from a 2015 nuclear deal with iran and several world powers. she didn't, inc says china will continue to take part in negotiations to get the agreement reinstated. abraham raises was, it comes as both china and iran strengthen their relationships with russia. both sides say they're opposed to hold order led by the united states and its allies. they do will be looking to toronto, reassurance of its continued support,

the global state, including one issue such as the status of taiwan and the south china sea. katrina, you, i'll de 0. they do with me to a new south, to shami who's a professor of international relations of durham university in the u. k. he's joining us from durham. welcome to the al jazeera news hour. so it's the 1st state visit by an iranian president of china in more than 20 years. why do you think that they held the summit now? thank you for having me on al jazeera. i think the summit is significant for a number of reasons. the 1st primary reason is that prison shipping's visit to santa ravia during which he met not only his g, c, c, or the disease. it is, but also many out of leaders was symbolic of china's growing ties with the g, c, c, countries, underworld. but secondly, in the course of that visit and the communicate that were issued, there were some kind of direct and in direct attacks on iran over nuclear program,

regional security reactions such like that really strained relations between beijing and, and ron. so president, she's invitation to racy, is hardly a response to ron's reaction to that, to try and men bridges again. so what do you think each side is going to get out of this? let's talk about the iranians 1st. a prisoner, i see as, as you were to note it has taken a plain load of, of ministers and advises and technical team. ready from nuclear negotiation, for example, as well, with him to beijing in order to 1st kick start this 25 year agreement that was signed in 2021, which is running slowly. partly because of china is better links with a g, c, c. and partly because of the sanctions imposed since trump left the disappear in 2018 1st. secondly, iran is also very keen to make sure that the,

if like the west asian leg of the bit of an initiative that goes through iran and then helps iran to consolidate links with iraq and syria or not more on that. those links grow irrespective of china's links with the u, a inside arabia and so on. and thirdly, iran really does need chinese investment. really does need china as in much bigger market for its oil and is desperate to see if it can warble as china to help re open negotiations in the j. c. b o, a, to lift sanctions. and the latter, of course, is in china's interest as well, because iran is the loss as dorado in the region if you like. and china's world poised to take advantage of the opportunities that in market of 85000000 people present. right in for china were you just mentioned the j c p way? of course china being a signatory to that. what is china hoping to get out of this? well, china is the signature, was a guarantor of the j. c. b o. a remo. this is a u. n. document,

and china is desperate to make sure that all the information doesn't happen in this part of the world. for all what we think of china's behavior internationally. china is not a policy for it, nor does it interested him for a version of every m. d. 's. and it is keen to find a way of 1st containing iran's nuclear program, or secondly to open up is vast markets to chinese opportunities. and given that iran has not strain as economic ties with the west, most notably european union countries, then i wouldn't submit that is wide open for china. but of course, that is a danger in that because iraq is also actively pursuing closer to coming thighs with india. arguably, china's roger in asia also be south korea and japan, japan and south korea weary of ties with iran because of medical pressure. and because of the enduring impact of sanctions on the round through trump's all disease post 2018. right. and speaking of being weary, i mean, no doubt the u. s. will be looking at this with concern because just last month

u. s. officials were saying that they were going to press are china to stop importing and buying oil from iran. so how do you think the u. s. is going to be looking at this and how will it affect us? china relations currently strains of course. right, and i don't think the and if you like the macro level, it's going to make much of a difference to the continuing tension between china and the united states. i think this is yet, and all this more ingredient added to the part of. ready says and tensions between the 2 superpowers as it were, but more demand more locally feel like this has been a consent to the united states. but, but at one level the americans have kind of discounted relations with iran, so long as the chinese are not supplying military hardware or helping year on proliferate they, the americans would be content. their biggest concern is china's growing links with

their allies in the region. in gutter in u e in kuwait, inside the radio in oman and so on. and they, they would like to accept more pressure on those eyes to make kind of men may tend a distance between themselves and china but, but so long as the relation between iran and china remains political, economic, which both sides are apparently wanting to pursue. then the medical will have to contend with it, but if the chinese were able to unlock the door of negotiations for the nuclear talks that also speak that americans will be grateful for that. ok, we'll leave it there. and just to show me, thank you so much for joining us from durham. my pleasure. now for objects have been shut down over us and canadian aerospace in the past week. one of those was the chinese balloon, that washington says was being used to spy. our defense editor alex could topple us . looks at why balloons are still useful as tools for spying in the modern age.

since the invention of the balloon in 1783, they've been used to gather information on adversaries in the world itself. but in an age of satellites and high tech aircraft, using balloons together, intelligence might seem old fashioned. so why has china been using them to gather data? they have some unique advantages. balloons can loiter over a target where a satellites flight great speeds and are usually only over the area of interest for short time. the chinese balloon was 60 meters tall and carried an unknown payload weighing 900 kilos on the edge of space at 18000 meters drifting on counts of wind that circumnavigate the earth in different directions at different heights. sophisticated technology now allows a balloon to hitch a ride on those currents by raising and lowering its altitude slowly steering to where it wants to go. cheap and expendable balloons are used extensively by weather
