9 days into a major earthquake, i don't know in the history of united nations that they had not responded to something. it's the hardest area in syria desperation and the anger in syria as aids slowly trickles in the last weeks devastating of miraculous recipes across the border where survivors are still being pulled from the level days after the worst disaster. he has multiple history. ah, hello, i'm darn jordan. this is out as they are alive from dawkins are coming up, the former us ambassador to the united nations, nikki haley announcer. she will run for president in 2024, becoming the 1st major challenge of donald trump. and 5 western countries condemned israel's decision to formalize 9 in the 2nd. ah,

and we begin with the major humanitarian aid operation in turkey and syria or millions of people are in desperate need of essential supplies following to devastating earthquakes. last week, the u. n. 's has nearly $9000000.00 syrians have been affected and has appealed for nearly $400000000.00 in aid. dozens of engineers working there have called for better access and a massive scale up and assistance. it comes as aid is starting to move across to more border crossings from to a kia after the assad government granted the un permission to use them on tuesday. well, we have a team of correspondence covering the disaster. stephanie deka is in carmel marsh, wrestled soda is an ottoman natasha. go name is in hattie province spots. we begin our coverage with this report from santa holder. she's been in gin business in syria, if there are no international rescue teams here. no international aid workers. the people of northwest syria have been left to deal with 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 chillers, 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 in 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 the 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 sharla sort 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 the united nations that they had not responded to something. it's the hardest hit area in syria. in government controlled 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 sustained, international help minimum dod, welcome. we have no heaters, no blankets issued, nothing on just a tent over our heads or shops were destroyed,

will 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 people who so purpose has long been to survive. then i put there, i was just either northwest syria or gotten hit. i was head of the syrian for him. he described the devastation that millions are now facing. you talking about misery on misery and people living in northwest 4500000 people. 2 thirds of them have been displaced. 2.1000000 children they will attend school. 66 percent are in the northwest syria. 90 percent of the syrian people are below the poverty line. all of this is before the earthquake and now come to the earthquake. 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 syria people do this international community that they are treating them like this. this is, this is my day after the earthquake and i can tell you, i have been there 7 days and i did not see a single evidence of coming through the country. so what are people, what are people doing? they are trying to survive. well, in turkey, a, the number of people being found, the live is getting smaller by the day. but despite the odds, there are still some incredible stories of survival. a 77 year old woman. fact, my finger was rescued from the rebel after being trapped for almost 200 hours in adam and stephanie decker has mona, from unmatched. the epicenter of 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 blocks, 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 residence 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 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, a turkey as president, russia typo on, has defended his decision making, offers. government was accused of being slow to respond and hard hit areas. some em cassiano as more now from ankara government or was late in response. and in reaching out to some cities i because of the weather conditions and the roads or 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 mobilize all our resources, all state sources. a he said he repeated that again. and a 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 pupil and a to 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 will not, i province is one of the areas in the earthquake zone that's been the hardest hit. the rush is on dr. accurate people and provide shelter to as many as possible. natasha gonna report some on 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 graves. terrified about what's happened to those still missing in the

ruins of home. 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 disclosure mcbride with him. 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 ere 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 you're

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 over 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 orlando safety. the government says is provided shelter to 1200000 people. there's 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 elements, and other infectious diseases. water scarcity and hygiene situation,

the straw but so renewed, renewed water sanitation and hodge and capacity. astronomy possible or, and 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 ease, earthquake survivors leave a decimated city to begin life a new. they can't escape the burden of tragedy. natasha name l. jazeera untucked, yet turkey up the south western turkish city of dana has also been badly affected al jazeera. some is there, done is that i've been out in the streets and i came across this park and a group of ladies are sitting here and i thought let me ask them why they camped out in the street yard hemlock. he okay,

where we expect them to be the are going to come up over the next few days in places like beijing and shanghai, that's not a similar story for the korean peninsula as well as japan. we got cold air blasting down, bringing some heavy snow to the likes of a condo, snow ferries to western areas of han shoe that does start to pier away as we go into thursday. but temperatures coming down in so and tokyo, despite the weather remaining rather settled, there was a move to south asia. it's a very settled picture for much of india as well as shall anchor live. but a cloud, possibly some missed and fog issues along that east coast. but a large, clear picture, certainly by the afternoon sunshine, dominating the story here, and it is largely quiet for sri lanka. over the next few days. we could see some wet and more wintry whether we work its way in from a western disturbance. moving across central asia, we have a closer look at that storm. it's bringing some snow to the northern areas of afghanistan, but cobbled stains settled. pushing 17 degrees celsius on thursday. i

owe for news ah,

pull back and pick them out about top stories here on al jazeera, millions of people in turkey and syria are in desperate need of essential suppliers falling to devastating earthquakes. last week, united nation says $99000000.00 syrians when effected as a people from any $400000000.00 and $8.00, dozens of organizations on the ground. they have come for better access. a rescue workers continued to find some survivors in turkey. in the last few hours, a 7 to 7 year old woman was rescued from the rubble after being trapped more than 200 hours in foreign ministers from the united states, germany, france, italy, and the u. k. of issued a statement condemning israel's decision to formalize 9 illegal settlements. they say they are strongly opposed. israel's unilateral actions warning, they'll worse intentions with the palestinians. israel security cabinet said this was in response to a series of attacks in occupied east jerusalem. while the legal settlements and

occupied palestinian territories had been one of the most contentious issues in the conflict between 19672022. israel has built more than 290 illegal settlements and the occupied west bank and their jurisdiction goes far beyond the homes and estimated 700000 settlers live in the occupied west bank. israel has also built several enclave in palestinian neighborhoods in occupied east jerusalem own to more than $220000.00 israeli settlers. the settlements violate international law and large numbers of israelis living in occupied territories. complicate efforts to establish a palestinian state. rummy curry is a senior fellow at harvard kennedy school. he says, israel won't be intimidated by western condemnation. you'll got 2 things going on here. you'll get the western powers really coming to the crunch of the question that they've never addressed for the last 3040 years, which is, are they serious about implementing international, equally for palestinians and israelis? are they just going to issue statements when the israel is do something that's

illegal, a criminal, but they take strong actually the palestinians do something. the other one is for the israeli israeli, implementing this policy of taking from the power of settling its colonizing it with their own people. mostly coming from brooklyn and poland and other places and, and they and russia and they have done this for, since like the 27th they've been taken post on the last. so these are historical trends that are really at a moment of reckoning. now we'll have to see if we're talking about the law and then we'll talk to get a better action response from the west. west has acted on your grant that they've been ignoring the statements. in fact, they've been spitting in the face of the americans often literally when 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 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 if the americans of your pins realized that this is going to create a catastrophe of a 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. there's some help us see what's to be done. signals like that might cause the israel is to react. but up until now the signals have not been made by the west to hope comfortable any wrong or in the region, especially in israel. and the israelis have never suffered penny pressure. therefore they keep doing what they're doing. 3 people have died off the cycle and gabriel hit new zealand and what the prime minister says cause the worst damage in a generation. the storm has now we can then it's moving away, but not before the batter. the north island, torrential rain and high wind cause, floods and lamps lives, and more than 200000 homes were left without power. and national state of emergency has been declared. the u. s. ambassador lodge for global criminal justice,

were happy that diplomats from america and other countries are now visiting the camp. it's almost 6 years since we've been living here. there's not much progress, i hope, but justice will prevail for the record to his life. here is challenging. the camp is over crowded and overflowing. there are flimsy shelters, and the refugees are hemmed in by barbara fencing. here, there are no formal education for children available. no possibility of work and no travel allowed. i was just the most serious problem that we are facing, that we are not able to educate our children, nor do we have any means of earning here, making it hard to make ends meet. ambassador shack says that the international code of justice and the international criminal code play the lead role and bring in justice for the ro hangup. my office in the state department is ultimately a foreign policy diplomatic office. and our goal is to provide assistance wherever we can. mason sharing diplomatic support,

nicky hayley's announcement of it. it betrays her as the daughter of indian immigrants who achieves 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 un 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 out of the last 8 presidential election to chains. she's pulling it under 5 percent, so it appears she seizing the chance, got to make a name for herself before others. and the regs, a front runner against old trump is florida governor rome de santis. he isn't expected to announced his candidacy until late may appear earliest. but after the midterm elections suggested trumps 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 ante trumped 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 i both love trump in e. somebody who people tend to be saucy, 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. trump himself was reminded his followers that hailey had once pledged not to run against him, but he hasn't attacked her clearly the big of the field of a better for him. he 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 already there are whispers, but ultimately it may be on the race for the vice presidential nomination in 2024. she ebert antsy alger 0. the world's largest agriculture exhibition is underway in california with most doors, showing new technology that can sustainably increase food production. the u. n. says this will need to be increased by 60 percent by 2050. as the population's expected, arise from 8 to 10000000000 people. techniques are also being developed to lower farming emissions by 67 percent by the year 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 rob reynolds is out the exhibition in salary, california, where he spent to daniel hagar, she was showing off for picking drones and explained how they work. i see you're
