12:04 am
deal with a disaster on their own. last week's earthquakes, that struck southern turkey, devastated many areas in this country as well. their lives now a pile of dust. none available. we are a vegetable sellers, our shops, we're under new for our homes. now we lost everything. we're sleeping in the streets. no one from the international community is helping us. jan. that is, was one of the towns and the opposition controlled enclave worse hit by the 2 quakes. it's the 9 of that disaster. rescuers who have been appealing for heavy equipment still haven't received any as they remove the remaining bodies and the rubble across the border. and so there in turkey are missing. survivors are still being found alive and pulled from the ruins. here in northwest syria, the search and rescue effort was called off on day 5 because rescuers didn't have the resources they say could have saved many lives. so for the aid entering the
12:05 am
opposition north is not enough for people's needs. the un says syrian president bush, carla said, has now given approval to use more border crossings from dirtier. a statement that has angered the opposition the united nations seems to look at. but for the 3rd of their secretary general, they're waiting for him to give them okay. 9 days into a major earthquake. i don't know in the history of united masons that they had not responded to something. it's the hardest area in syria. in government control, territories, plains loaded with humanitarian aid, have been arriving continuously. there also where united nations agencies are based in the north, the u. n. has acknowledged failing syria with an adequate response. it says that will change, but many here are doubtful. there will be any sustained international help. min namath. dod, welcome. we have no heaters. no blankets issued nothing, almost just a tent over our heads. our shops were destroyed. who will help us to rebuild our
12:06 am
lives? the scars of 12 years of war have still not healed in a region where millions are displaced and poor. now there is a new crisis for a people whose sole purpose has long been to survive. center for their elders. eda, northwest syria. well, i already spoke to her son, he turned he's had of the syrian form. this is an organization which has been providing aid inside northwest in syria and he's just been visiting that region and he describes me the devastation that millions of people are experiencing. that after years of civil war are you talking about misery upon misery for people. ready living in northwest 4500000 people, 2 thirds of them have been displaced. 2.1000000 children. they don't attend school . 66 percent are in the north, west syria. 90 percent of the syrian people are below the poverty line. all of this
12:07 am
is before the earthquake and now come to the earthquake. i have seen people standing as sitting on a rock at the, at the front of the collapse building. and when i walked by them, and i greeted them, and i asked them, who are you? and they give me their name, and then i tell him what do you live? i live here and they point at their house and i'll tell them how's your family? and they'll tell me my family is that the entire family is that. and i can tell you that i have had this conversation at least 5 or 6 times. this is a common seen people, people have these blanks, there's people are trying to sit through their emotions. so this is, this is a very, very tough disaster. and tough experience for people to go through. i myself, i'm starting to wonder what did the syrian people do to this international community
12:08 am
that they are treating them like this. this is, this is life day after the earthquake and i can tell you, i have been there 7 days and i did not see a single evidence of aid coming through the country. so what are, what are people doing? they are trying to survive her across the board. the number of people being found alive is getting smaller by the day. despite yields, there's still some incredible stories of survival on tuesday to women will pull from under the deborah and her type province 8 days after the quake. and earlier, 2 brothers were also found alive. but rescue f. it's all starting to slow and the window to find survivors is fading. stephanie jack, i was born out from, got home on march the epi center of the 2nd, like 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 you see the everywhere
12:09 am
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 as 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. 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 residence will be able to return. so it is a long term challenges as 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. will the turkish president
12:10 am
have time to on his defended his decision making after his government was accused of being too slow to respond. sam conseula has more on this now from ankara government or was late in response. and in reaching out to some cities i because of the weather conditions as the roads or the infrastructure, the damaged infrastructure. they have been hard, harshly criticized, but they, they acknowledges and presidents ardon mentioned last week that ad there might have been some mistakes and the officials we have been speaking to have been telling us the same thing. but after reaching on the ground, we have mobilize all our resources, all state sources are. he said, he repeated that again. and as he mentioned that the impact air of this disaster of this damage air was much bigger than its real scale. him. he tried to convince a people that he will be doing his best to accommodate people and add to
12:11 am
rehabilitate the earthquake hits areas. and he mentioned that in one week the risk assessment of the damage buildings will be a will be complete. and after that, they will be destroy, they will be destroying the collapse buildings. march was still out for you. on this news hour from london. russia has been accused of holding thousands of ukrainian children in sight of political re education. china is a hosting. at the iranian present, who is currently there for a 3 day visit in beijing, and a trip to disneyland for the super bowl. m. v p. patrick homers that's coming up in sport. ah, now ukraine says that russian forces have bombarded troops and towns in the eastern, daniel screeching and what appears to be a new offensive. but you kind troops of repelled attacks around the frontline says
12:12 am
involvement and caused russian losses in luna dar this is a town just south west of backlit, vishal se tanks and armored vehicles there have been destroyed. russia has intensified attacks in the eastern part of ukraine as the 1st anniversary of the invasion edges closer. meanwhile, nato defense ministers have been meeting in brussels. the discuss boosting support for ukraine is actually general against oldenburg, has promised to supply more ammunition steadfast and has more on that now. a week before the anniversary of 3rd, this invasion of, for russia and ukraine for 54 nations represented here in brussels today have much more military 8, but not quite the 8 that ukraine was hoping for. we know that president lansky has specifically asked for fighter jets f sixteens also directly to the netherlands, who owns the sir fight chads. but the secretary of defense,
12:13 am
austin has said that there is no announcement on these f sixteens yet. what is happening is that the countries who have them only want to support ukraine with these jets, if the whole block of nato is supporting this decision. and this is a very sensitive decision is a lot of concern. it's not only complex, but it also, there are concerns about a possible escalation. what are the countries are ascending though? is more air defense? france and italy half an hour stepped up with air defense system sending to ukraine a lot more ammunition is being sent. and also norway has now announced that they will sent or will give 7500000000 euros for military 8. a new report claims that russia is held at thousands of ukrainian children and sites in crimea and across russia. his primary purpose appears to be political reeducation. the u. s. back report released on tuesday says that at least 6000 children have
12:14 am
been affected. the report identified around 43 camps and other facilities that were part of a large scale, systematic network operated by moscow. the youngest child identified in the russian program was just 4 months old. and some camps were giving military training to children as young as 14. or nathaniel raymond is the author of that reports and executive director of yale school of public health humanitarian research lab. he joins us now from new haven, connecticut. you tell us more about the methodology or the way in which you gathered evidence for this report. the critical source of information for the poor was actually the statements of the russian government itself. the report, documents, officials, many of whom, actually all of whom are not on us or international sanctions listed this time. and it really shows the whole of government approach that regional governors,
12:15 am
local governors, all the way down to municipal mayers and federal officials are engaged in a program that stretches over 3400 miles. and in many cases, these officials are in their own social media in their local media are discussing the activities of these camps in detail. the number to source of information was telegram. we did use satellite imagery is supporting our data resource to help g o located the 43 locations identified in the report. and the satellite imagery confirm those locations. yes, it helped us cross corroborate what was being said online often by the officials themselves engage in the program. why do you suppose they would put this information in the public domain?
12:16 am
they are very proud of the program. it is being promoted to a domestic audience in russia as part of their rationale for the invasion of ukraine, and it's being presented in humanitarian terms as russia, in many cases in this is an american term, but engaged in a sister cities program. and so local communities in russia are sponsoring often through their municipal budgets. the movement of children to these quote unquote summer camps for re education, where in many cases after their sponsored to attend, we have seen their return dates cancelled. now some have gone home, but in multiple cases we've seen the returns of these children are delayed, cancelled in one case. actually, 2 cases we've seen children from those camps adopted or sent to foster care inside russia after attending. does this constitute a crime under international law?
12:17 am
and if so, do you think there will ever be prosecutions? all those are 2 separate and very big questions. i'll answer the 1st part. which is that this is and let me be clear for your viewers tonight. this is clearly a violation of the geneva convention and it can cause you to war crime and also a crime against humanity for multiple reasons. the russian federation has 4 obligations here. 2 children separated from their parents during our conflict. and each of them that not only failed to fulfill, they've actively flaunted them they should register those children according to the geneva convention. they should move them to a 3rd party country. they should allow international monitors to access those children, and they should allow communication back to their families. none of that has happened. in fact, the opposite in many cases is happen. so yes, this is a war crime allegedly, and potentially
12:18 am
a crime against humanity. now whether those who are in the chain of command over this intentional and systematic network of child custody facilities will face justice are as i say, i'm just a beat cop war crimes investigator. that's a question for the prosecutors in future ways giving up. can you, nathaniel, just one more question, we're just reporting that the youngest child in the custody is, is just a few months old. and then children as young as 14, being given military training. what do you know about the conditions in these camps, the children? well, because we're relying on those who are administering the camps and holding the children for much of the reporting about the conditions, the russians are reporting that everything is fine. now the fact of the matter is that we have clear evidence, at least in one case of a girl having a nervous breakdown. when parents came to collect another child,
12:19 am
but her mother did not show the child was apparently hospitalized. and the mother who came to collect one child reported back to the child's mother was having a child who was having nervous breakdown where the child was and what was happening . she could not contact the child or communicate. and so from a public health perspective, this is a, a child's rights crisis with severe mental health implications that will last for decades. thank you very much, author of that report, turning the stuff from new haven, connecticut. nathaniel raymond, thank you. when all the developments are following moldova briefly close it as space on tuesday to investigate reports of a balloon like objects. this comes a day off to the country, his russia, as closing to bring down its government. my a sandy said she confirmed an allegation made by the cranium present to me as lensky, that his country's intelligence services have discovered
12:20 am
a plan by moscow to bring down mulder his pro e government. sound you said russia is a me to use mold over in the war against ukraine. but the carmen has rejected these claims. china's president, gigi and pain was called for an early resolution to iran nuclear issue. as he host the countries leader for 3 day visit abraham rice. he wants to strengthen economic ties with china, surrounds largest trading partner, the biggest customer for iranian oil. katrina, you reports on this from beijing. abraham bracey was welcomed, debating with the grand ceremony at the great hall of the people. it's the rainy president's 1st visit to china and his 2nd meeting with chinese leader. 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 with united states. other bay jig denies. this is the reason for the visit. you already vehicle you cooperation between china army wrong. it does not tardy amy for a country on tuesday,
12:21 am
and i you see also met with chinese premier liquor chung and the head of the national people's congress. lee judge shoe deals 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. in 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. they ging 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 recent visit comes as both china and around strengthen their relationships with russia. both sides say they're opposed to world order led by the
12:22 am
united states and its allies. they do will be looking to toronto, reassurance of its continued support state, including one issue such as the status of taiwan and the south china sea. between you, i'll da 0, they do a revised iran project. richard, the crisis group in a former senior officer, it runs department of political and peace building affairs. he joins us now. what is the purpose of this trip for a braimer? i see. i think the primary purpose for president racy is to 1st of all send the signal to the west that iran is not alone. it has powerful allies. and 2nd is to try to push the chinese actually deliver on the lot on a lot of promises that they have made today. iranian expand economic ties significantly. 2 years ago, iran and china signed a 25 year strategic agreement during which china was supposed to bet
12:23 am
$400000000000.00 in iran infrastructure. but we know during the 1st year of president tracy's presidency, china only invested $162000000.00, which is really meagre and even less than what turkey has invested in iran. so i think that that's the main focus of the trick. so the several $1000000000.00 short of making the investment they pledge to make 2 years ago. why is china being so sluggish on implementing this agreement? yes, the chinese definitely over promised and under delivered. there are multiple reasons behind it. number one is the fact that china has $600000000.00 of trade with the united states. and chinese companies are very reluctant to risk their access to the u. s. financial system and the u. s. market by doing business with iran. second, china also has extremely good relations with iran. rivals in the persian gulf region, imports more oil from saudi arabia and the u. a than it does from iran. and 3rd,
12:24 am
china's economy was hit as a result of the euro corporate policy. and so it wasn't reading the situation to be able to be as generous as it has been in the past. watch my china's plan then be because we always think of iran's relationships as being very strong with countries like china and russian. of course, that is in the interest because of the policy, the western policy of sanctions, containment and isolation. but for china, how do they view the middle east? they are trying to sort of balance different relationships, for example, between iran and saudi arabia. because of course president, she made a visit to the saudi capital a few months ago. absolutely, and that visit angered the iranians, because during that trip president, she signed onto a statement that even undermined the wrong sovereignty over 3 islands in its
12:25 am
territory. the reality is china and the fortran i think is his genius best in the persian gulf region in terms of having relations both with both sides of the golf where they're running with the saudis and them rockies and the batteries and everybody else. but and in the short run, there's also benefiting from the fact that russia and iran increasingly have less partners and less customers for their energy exports. so they both have to compete with one another and get bigger discounts to china, which is their sole, increasingly, their sol customer. and, but in the longer term, if you are china and you're not thinking in 4 or 5 year total terms, but you're thinking in 25 to 50 years strategic terms. iran is one of the only places in the energy rich, middle east region, in which the us does not have a foothold. and so keeping iran its orbit is
12:26 am
a priority for china. the question of how far is china is going to go in the short run to potentially challenge the united states in order to try to satisfy iran and keep it on its side. all right, thank you very much from the international crisis group advise. thank you. now for ministers from the united states, germany, france, italy, in the u. k. of issued a joint statement condemning israeli settlement activity comes off to israel's government, decided to authorize a 9 illegal outpost in the occupied westbank. 5 countries they, they strongly oppose the lateral actions, which they say will exacerbate tensions between israel and palestine. while the haughty is a senior fellow at the harvard kennedy school and says that israel will not be intimidated by western condemnation. they've been ignoring the state months, in fact they've been sitting in the face of the americans, often literally one an american president or secretary of state visits israel, the same day they authorize a new settlement. this has been their pattern over the last 2030 years. they don't
12:27 am
really care because they're never subjected to real sanctions or accountability. and we don't know what's going to happen. i wouldn't be surprised that the americans of europe and realized that this is going to create a catastrophe if it keeps going on. that they might say, well, you know, maybe we should love the international court of justice or the international criminal court investigate this and help us to see what's to be done. signals like that might cause the israelis to react. but up until now the signals have not been made by the west to hold accountable any wrong door in the region, especially in israel. and these roommates have never suffered any pressure, therefore they keep doing what they're doing. also to bring your check like bright, how to feed the world. farmers consider a ways to sustainably increase food production. while largest agriculture exhibition will bring united from that and not long to wait until the formula one season as more teams unveil than you cause.
12:28 am
ah hello there, there's lots of lovely weather to be found across europe at the moment ticking across western and central areas. we got high pressure in charge, keeping things dry and warm with temperatures sitting well above the average for the likes of powers. and that trend continues as we had for the east. we are going to see some rain. however, move in bits and pieces of wintry and wet weather at the edges of this high pressure. and that band of rain is likely to move across from the island of island and britain. still some sunny spells for the south east of england on wednesday on thursday. however, that changes as that rain pushes its way across the channel into the low countries . and parts of france is while a wintry blast for norway from that front. but as the edge further east, that snow is set to skirt its way further. he's leaving behind clearer skies.
12:29 am

food for hong replanted. though i joined by providing and pen let. so he is the co founder and ceo of monarch tractor praveen. thanks very much for talking with us. and this is one of your babies behind us, right. can you show us the high technology aspects of your m k v monarch tractor? absolutely. so what you're looking at is our monarch tractor. so this isn't all electric, fully automated smart tractor. so if you have a spot roof on the tractor, so this roof has cameras all the way around and also has our sensors and connectivity. these are cameras right there. these are cameras right here. uh huh. and we also have war flights that allow us to work in the night. okay. this smart roof enables us to run fully autonomous operations without the driver in the seat for farmers. so it's like a self driving car. it's a self driving tract out in the field out in the field. okay, what else you got?
12:45 am
and the reason that is important is if we can remove the tractor driver from the seat, it increases the safety and also allows farmers to use the tractor drivers for the high valued things and keeping the operations going not stuck on the seat of a tractor. so he becomes kind of the coordinator of the, of the machinery. absolutely. so he is now the fleet manager. ah, so that hopefully with i love more tractor dry, worse and more fleet manager seen to the ag ecosystem worst as the opposite people are leaving the dotted, doty and dangerous job of tractor driving. i see the other fantastic feature that we have is our tractor because it's fully electric with a big battery down here that you see. yeah, we can also power things out in the field. we can act like a mo by gen sick. so you can essentially plug things in here, these outlets and run other machinery and run other electric machinery. you can run palms, you can run lights, et cetera, without having

12:47 am
being asked to be more sustainable in their operations by decreasing diesel and chemicals. and that also being asked to provide more data on how did their farm for certifications like organic certifications and sustainability certification. okay. i'll attract or addresses all 3 of those. okay. and also the size of the tractor to something that every farmer in the world can use and really should have to make farming more efficient for v. we have to end it there. thank you very much for the quick tour of the high tech tractor. so there you have it, the maria silicon valley tech out in the field, and it's going to make a difference in future. indeed, nick couldn't comment on more important time. can it? thank you very much, really appreciate that roberto's at reporting that from that exhibition in net california now. well, nicholas huck has been at a family conference in senegal. now that is focusing on nat, food security in africa. so we're at a farming conference in the car synagogue where outside there's an incredible wind
