9 days into a major earthquake, i don't know in the history of the united nations that they had not responded to something. it's the hardest area in syria. desperation that anger and siri as aids slowly trickles in, not the last weeks devastating of lakes. american us rescues across the border was survivors still being pulled from the rubble 8 days up to the worst disaster. and turkey is modern history. ah, hello, i'm darn jordan. this is al jazeera alive from dub. also coming off the former us ambassador to the united nations, nikki haley announced that she would run for president in 2020 for the coming. the 1st major challenge up to donald trump on china's president hosts his iranian counts upon for a 3 day visit. as the 2 nations faced tense relations with the united states, ah, ah,

in, we begin with the major humanitarian aid operation in turkey and syria, where millions of people are in desperate need of essential supplies following 2 devastating earthquakes last week. the you and says nearly $9000000.00 syrians have been affected and has appealed for nearly $400000000.00 in aid. dozens of n g o working they have called for better access and a massive scale up in assistance. it comes of aid is starting to move across to more border crossings from turkey or after the us government ground to the un permission to use them on tuesday. well, we have a team of correspondence covering the disaster. stephanie deka is in caramel dash russell soda is an idea. mon natasha. go name is in ty province. but we begin this report from santa holder. she's been in gender as in syria. there are no international rescue teams here. no international aid workers. the people of

northwest syria have been left to 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 vegetable sellers, our shops, we're under new far 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 southern 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 far,

the aid entering the opposition north is not enough for people's needs. the un says syrian president, charla said, has now given approval to use more border crossings from turkey. a statement that has angered the opposition the united nations seems to look at, but charlotte, that is their secretary general. they're waiting for him to give them ok. 9 days into a major earthquake, i don't know in the history of united masons, but they had not responded to something. it's the hardest area in syria. in government control, territories, planes loaded with humanitarian aid have been arriving continuously. there also where united nations agencies are based in the north. the u. s. has acknowledged failing syria with an inadequate response. it says that will change, but many here are doubtful. there will be any, says st. international help. man. um, what does that okay, um we have no heaters, no blankets is nothing, almost just

a tent over our heads or shops were destroyed who'll help us to rebuild our lives. and in this course 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 then for their elders. eda, northwest syria, one as anna was saying in her report there, across the border in turkey, the number of people being found alive is getting smaller by the day. but despite the odds, there are still some incredible stories of survival. in the last few hours, a 77 year old woman fatima gongora was rescued from the rebel after being trapped for almost 212 hours in advance. stephanie deca has mono from carmen mirage. the epicenter, the 2nd quake. 2 young men were pulled out of the rubble on tuesday, but those stories of joy are becoming less and less. it is overwhelmingly the dead that are emerging from their homes while we're standing. these are apartment block,

so they have been cleared, but this is, as one of our colleagues described, a mass graveyard. the city has become a mass graveyard. it is like this across huge areas of the city and the buildings that still stand are broken. they are structurally unsafe, their residents will never be able to go back home. so looking ahead, you have the challenge also of how to how's, where to how's over hundreds of thousands of people. one of the challenges here, it's not just one city that's been effected by this earthquake. it stretches across major areas of the se, certainly in this city, hit by the 2nd earthquake. it's epicenter very close to where we are at the people are devastated. i've many of them still can't believe that this is happened when you ask them, what do you need? many will tell you, we need our relatives back. i need my daughter back. i need my husband back. but life goes on now. many of them are having to live intented cities. this is

a temporary measure, and it that's not just here that's across the entire southeast of turkey, but certainly the stories of heartbreak and devastation in their hundreds of thousands. stephanie decker, al jazeera, carmen marsh, south eastern turkey. um, well, turkey as president rush, a typo to one has defended his decision making after his government was accused of being slow to respond and haunted areas. so the costumer asked more now from anchor government, or was late in response and in reaching out to some cities i because of the weather conditions and the roads, the infrastructure damaged infrastructure. they have been hard, harshly criticized. but they, they acknowledges and presidents ardon mentioned last week that and 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 mobilized all our resources, all state sources. a he said he repeated that again. and as he mentioned that the

impact 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 rehabilitate the earthquake it's 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 it. they will be destroying the collapse buildings. well, what i province is one of the areas in the earthquake zone that's been hardest hit, the rushes on to evacuate people and provide shelter to as many as possible. natasha game reports among takia, where it's estimated as much as 70 percent of the buildings may have been destroyed . they're leaving the bodies of loved ones in freshly dug grapes, terrified about what's happened to those still missing in the ruins of whole. these

people's roots and on takia are deep like those that that should nar, trees inter kia but the earthquake ripped them apart. it's brenda scoggins, rheumatoid rhythm i lost my sister. it's an incredible pain. you lose your house, you have nothing left. we've been living in a 10 psychologically when a chair moves we get afraid of them. the yemen air family is waiting for a ride to a city in the west. they've never stepped foot in the turkish military, set up this makeshift bus station along the side of a major road to help take people out. not far away, others have settled uncomfortably into many tent cities, guarded by soldiers. there was a 3 month state of emergency. we weren't allowed inside or told turks and syrian refugees live separately, but share a common misery of no access to water or bathrooms and no electricity. this man

says he escaped the war in syria with his family, and they've now been displaced for the 11th time. and, and i'm apologizing if it's like ever that we don't have any demand in this life. we only ask god for diff, or we ask the will to help us take us back home to live in orland safety. the government says is provided shelter to 1200000 people. there is no exact figure of how many remain homeless in the 10 provinces declared disaster areas. the president of the turkish red crescent says 2 and a half to 3000000 people will require support in the coming months. turkey, his entire stock of tents has been depleted. now there is concern about possible public health crises, including the spread of the flu. cholera, respiratory ailments, and other infectious diseases. waters kirsty, an hygiene situation, the straw, but so renewed,

renewed water sanitation and hodge and capacity. astronomy possible, but communicable diseases heavily into conditions for many threats. actually, public health threats, we will face, the turkish red crescent says it's also working to provide mental health support to the millions who will need it. as these earthquake survivors leave a decimated city to begin life anew, they can't escape the burden of tragedy. natasha name l 0 untucked. yet turkey. ja bereft asada has more from idea man on how people in a city, a coping with a often off this place was the biggest stadium in the city or for at the moment. and now it's turned into a tense city. or 5000 people currently are living here and this is not the only 10th city in the city of idea, man that are tons of such makeshift camps that are spreading across the city. so

the displacement here is becoming a humanitarian issue and or tortoise or trying to deal with this crisis. i've talked to the mayor of the city, ashley monk college and ever asked him about the displacement about sanitation and infrastructure problems and the challenges that they are facing. financial under his computer, the fairies, fair degree or for infrastructure issues, of course include in water networks, class network and electric network. of course, fortunately, we have m made. some improves in our water, water resources and water supply may be 4550 percent off. the city is now starting the mains, water cancer are set up, but in an hour, a lot of people are still out. this is because because of a large number of it, the buildings listed, distracted and ruined. so we are working round the clock. a lot of people are homeless, children that are

a large number of people who want to go out of the city. they're trying to arrange data transferred to other cities around the country if you, me, or their mom was one of the hardest. he had cities insulted turkey by earthquake, a 1175 buildings have collapsed here. and as a result, more than a 1000 people have died, the mirror told me that they are afraid that this number could go up to 15000. indeed, wherever you turn in the city, you will see the collapse. buildings are blocks after blocks or level dawn and the did impact off the earthquake is everywhere. and also the sense of normality among people of this city is completely lost. restless have that all jazeera or the amana salt im trickier last night. so to come here now to 0, including how to feed the world, farmers consider ways to sustainable increased food production, where at the world's largest agriculture exhibition on the state of emergencies

declared in new zealand office icon, gabrielle calls is massive, flooding and destruction. one asked amos ah hello, they will look to north america and we've been watching a significant multi hazard. winter storm work its way across eastern areas of the us and canada is working very heavy, rain to the great lakes as well as the mid west. bringing that heavy snow across to eastern areas of canada, but behind that was seen some unusual warmth affecting the east coast of cities like washington dc. seeing temperatures well above the average for this time of year and those settled conditions follow one behind that, but not for long. we've got another winter storm moving in across the south. west is going to meet up with that warm feed. and that's when we get those dramatic thunderstorms rumbling their way across a southeast towards the east coast,

new york city, expecting to see some of that rain as we go into the later part of the week. behind that it is largely quiet across western parts of the u. s. and snow moving into western areas of canada, british columbia, feeling that wintery mix. but for that west coast, largely clear that band of rain, remaining offshore, unlikely to bring those conditions to california. so a very clear picture on is lot you care across much of central america and the caribbean, just a few showers here and therefore the wet to weather. we have to go to northern areas of south america. we are expecting some heavy falls for ecuador, that to weather update. ah, ah, ah, ah,

ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, we'll get back of her. come on about top stories here. this alley, the united nations says $99000000.00 syrians have been affected and has appeal for $400000000.00 in 8, dozens of 8 organizations on the ground. they have called a better axis and a massive skate up in assistance. turkey as president says last week's pop on earthquakes were as big as atomic bombs. russia typo m,

has defended his decision making. after his government was accused of being slow to respond and hardy heiress and rescuer, because continued to find some survivors in turkey. in the last few hours, a 77 year old woman was rescued from the rubble of being trapped to more than 200 hours in advance. for my years, ambassador to the united nations, nikki haley has announced you run for president in 2024. she is the 2nd republican to seek the party's nomination, or to former president donald trump announced his bid in november sharp attempts he has more from washington d. c. it's time for a new generation of leadership. nicky hayley's announcement video betrays hers, but daughter of indian immigrants who had she has the american dream by becoming the 1st female governor of south carolina. and them as a warrior for american exceptionalism against russia, china and a rom while serving as donald trump's u. m. ambassador, she argues her relative youth and her background would inspire us voters to return

to the republican party. republicans have lost the popular vote in 7 at the last 8 presidential election. that has to change. she's pulling it under 5 percent, so it appears she seemed a chance. got to make a name for herself before others, and to the rakes. a front runner against old trump is florida governor rob de santis. he isn't expected to announce his has deceit until late may of the earliest, but also midterm elections suggested crumbled popularity among swing voters waning . there are plenty of others considering a rum. and as in 2016, the more candidates the end to the primary race, the stronger the former president's position is, as the republican anti trump voter splinters. for haley, the challenge is to appeal to a republican base that is still solidly behind trump, while also opposing trump. i think our folks love trump in east. somebody who people tend to be sources the die hards all in. but love yeah,

she's able to make the case that i can take your, the things that you, that are important to you, the issues and, and the, and the policies that are important to you. but you know, package them a little bit differently and i've got a better chance to win in order to make america great. a glorious again i am to night announcing my candidacy for president ha from himself was reminded his followers that hayley had once pledged not to run against him, but he has an attacker. clearly the bigger the field of a better for him. haley hasn't yet made much of an impression on the republican base, but she is a favorite among deep pocketed republican donors looking for an alternative to from taking. so she is likely to have an impact, although already there are whispers, but ultimately it may be on the race for the vice presidential motion in 2024. she ebert ancy al jazeera. now the world's biggest agriculture exhibition is underway in california with most store showing new technology that can sustainably increase

food production. the u. n says this will need to increase by 60 percent by the year 2050. as the population is expected, arise from 8 to 10000000000 people. techniques are also being developed to lower farming emissions by 67 percent by 2050. currently around $1300000000.00 tons of food is lost or wasted every year. while one in 10 people don't have enough to eat a robin, i'll joins us live now from the exhibition until our a california rob. so with the wells population, rapidly growing. how will new technology than impact farming in the future? but one way is it something that you just touched on food waste? and in fact, we spoke to a, an academic at the university of southern california state of fresno today and said about 30 percent of food is wasted either in the field or on the plate. and so to replace that would immediately at a,

at an enormous amount to the world's food supply without doing very much more in terms of like breaking new ground. so one part of that is this automated robotic fruit picker from the bell. and danielle hagar is jordan, we know from ken from developed i see your contraption here, danielle, how does it work? what does it do? sure, so our technologies alleviating like you said, the shortage in agricultural labor right now through as being left to waste on the tree because there's not enough pickers. and so our technology where you see behind needs the alphabet system. it's a quick with 8 of our flying economists robots to harvest fruit and we are harvesting apples, peaches, nectarines, apricots, and fun. there you go. yeah. oh my goodness. yeah. everything a, one of our robots empowered by artificial intelligence, gently my,

everything of music through and to touch the quality of the through as well. and so what each role by dive in identifying through it gently think st. using a tough to mechanism and, and then in long or is it here i do see on the top about the music. quitman. 8 find economy robots. like i said earlier today. hi, for the us, my california and washington. let's say nancy, also a fine with hell of a former, which is ready to go. and which is said to go for another day and he'll have data that's not available in today's market. he also harvest that night to really maximize the amount of time within the day. and again the missing

a rama. making like 247. and at the end of the day we're, we're hearing the supply chain. we're hoping to wait. and as you know, the question today is the, the going population of the world is an urgent need to come up with an sustainable from with daniel, thank you very much, daniel hagar from fidel. well, as you can see behind me allow that, but incredibly fascinating. the scene that will tell the former when to pick the fruit, pick the fruit itself and alleviate food ways. one of many ways that silicon valley technology in all its forms is now being integrated into the agriculture there. hello john. rob reynolds line for the into laurie in california. it's day of the drones there. rob, thank you very much indeed. what man of life now,
