11:09 am
yet turkey. um or as her son has been visiting a makeshift campaign and you mind to find out how people are coping with the aftermath. this to lace was the biggest stadium in the city or for argument. and now it's turned into a dance city or 5000 people currently are living here. and this is not the only town city in the city of idea. man, there are tons of such makeshift camps that are spreading across the city. so the displacement here is becoming a humanitarian issue and authorities are 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 the infrastructure problems and the challenges that they are facing. financial under his computer, the fairies, 1st degree or for infrastructure issues, of course, including water networks, class network,
11:10 am
and electric network. of course, fortunately we have in made some improves in our water, water resources and water supply may be 4 to 550 percent off the cities. now that india means water cancer set up, but in an hour a lot of people are still out. this is because because of her large number of the building still 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 are trying to arrange data transferred to other cities around the country if you me, or the amana was one of the hardest. he had cities in south, trickier 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 this city,

11:12 am
the 10th which are the most likely need right now until people find a temporary shelter for themselves. and these are each 10th is 16 and a health care meters has separate. 8 sections for the family gathering place and a small room and an entrance. we are told that the material all of these pants are water pro, fireproof, and mil to approve. but of course these are temporary solutions, but at least until. a the new houses are rebuilt as surface prep has present promise. these pants will be one of the temporary solutions for the people who are going through tough weather conditions during winter or yesterday, turkish president has a press conference after the cabinet meeting. he says he will start rebuilding houses in the earthquake areas after the end of february or the next couple of weeks and at the initial phase will start with $30000.00 houses. but of course,
11:13 am
this is not enough. nothing is enough in the region right now. we're talking about 10 cities, 13 and a half 1000000, having been affected by the earthquake and here in this production, also circus red crescent. the workers are working to round the clock. they have increase their employee capacity, the expert working hours, et missing and where we are told by people who have been working here for more than 20 years. that this is the 1st time that nothing is enough. know personnel is enough and they have a. c 3 full capacity and every day here they are producing 500 tens and sending them to the earthquake. it's a we, as the, the capacity is increasing every day we are told and these are being sent to the center is that part is the turkish disaster management agency. the core
11:14 am
organization that takes that to take turns off the whole 8 campaign distribution and rescue work in the earthquake. and these people here are working hard, labeled, so to be able to have all those turkey citizens, some of them may be a relative so that they can, they can say in a pencil which can warm them up wrong, send them. thank you very much indeed that send them castiano talking to us from the red cross made center in and took here. the number of people being find a life is reducing by the day. but in widens day, a woman has been pulled from a building and caught them on my rush. 2222 hours after the quakes hit. and on tuesday, a 7 to 7 year old woman was rescued in the city of argument. after being trapped for nearly 212 hours, stephanie deca has more will tell them on mulash where all this of i was have been
11:15 am
found by rescue cruise. 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 grave yard. 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 hows, 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 have many
11:16 am
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. i still had analogy 0. 5 western countries condemn israel's decision to formalize 9 illegal settlements. i'm for people are killed in new zealand dot aside from gabrielle closest, widespread flooding and destruction. ah,
11:17 am
for the mornings at the moment in the heart of europe or germany, particularly whether a warnings of it largely because when the weather is settled and these bigger events cease cycling and nothing happens. but this time, the year it is cold now to get frost and forgive. and i was clear during the day and you get the sun honestly looked quite nice weather around the edges, brain into something. portugal coming across the british isles and snowed on the eastern side of the crating. the black sea towards the north of tokyo, in fact, is going to get rather heavy on the higher ground, the maintenance part of northern central turkey. but it's gonna last me through wednesday, by thursday it should have gotten the strong winds, the gene on the storm as they were. and the winds in the western side of the med, i'm not strong either. they are barreling through as an easterly through straightened your router, and by the time you get to assist i, the rain has gone from southern portugal, but it has made inroads into northern front and jeremy, taking away the sunshine, but temps,
11:18 am
enough to double think. as you notice that much warmer than you expect at this time of the year. in north africa, there is still rain falling in morocco in south now g area and the snow for the atlas mountains, for the most obvious thing, maybe is the strength of the wind law. she's a seasonal but it's changed direction while trying to get to sudden algeria and it's full of dust and sand. ah. debating the issues of the day, the 5 largest polluters of the world are in india, jump into the street. they made their money on pole. they made their money on field, convincing those folks. no, we need to go. green is very, very difficult. giving all of voice we chose to do because we wanted to escape war and violence. when you humanize this narrative, you allow people to really understand the reality and break down misconceptions. the street on al jazeera lou
11:19 am
ah, you're watching out. is it a reminder about all the stories this are the united nations is appealing for nearly $400000000.00 to help provide humanitarian aid to earthquake victims in syria. it comes as 11 talks carrying you and 8 crossed into opposition held areas on tuesday. on tuesday, by 77 year old woman was rescued in the city of acumen after being trapped for nearly 212 hours. and another bill was being pulled from a building and caught them on march 222 hours after the quakes hit. in other world news, ukraine says, russian forces have bombarded troops and tons in the eastern done yet screeching.

and what appears to be a new offensive, like keith says its troops have repelled attacks around the frontline city of buck mode, as well as causing russian losses. and the nearby town of bulldog. russia has intensified attacks in the region as the 1st anniversary of its invasion approaches. when your grains president says his forces are fighting for every meter ludmilla zalinski made the comments as nato defense ministers meet in brussels to discuss boosting. support to peeve said i send over to the assembly of another nation into the situation on the front line, especially in done it's in the hunt remains very difficult. the battles are literally for every meter of ukrainian lance. we got confirmation from our partners about more air defense weapons, more tanks, more artillery and shelves, more training for our military, which as it was said to de ukraine, must be successful. we're in agreement here. success must come live for people who died in new zealand after sites on gabrielle swept across the north island, causing widespread flooding and landslides about a 3rd of
11:21 am
a population live in affected areas. sanders, amaco song, shall east reports. the storm may have weakened but its left a trail of destruction. an unprecedented natural disaster in useless snot island. entire towns have been cut off by flooding and landslides, farms, houses, and bridges have been washed away. cyclone gabrielle has now passed, but the impact of the storm will be felt for weeks to come. oh florida regarding. 5 tunnel they were fighting for the dog. whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what order? i really love the damage here with all of a play right now. i mean, i think will be printing out over a wall. more than 10000 people have been displaced and 840000 left without power.
11:22 am
on tuesday, a state of emergency was declared only the 3rd time in useless history. it's enabled the government to move and resources from across the country to help civil defense efforts. era immediate focus have his been undertaking life saving missions for those affected by the floods who needed to be rescued, getting telecommunications and power back on as quickly as possible. conducting aerial surveys to understand the extent of the damage, and to identify where people need help. deploying emergency supplies, food, water in medicine, and getting communications, a seats to the areas that made them. the 2nd follows floods in oakland and northland 2 weeks ago, which were triggered by record breaking rains. the government says, now's the time to provide answers to climate change, and the consume sheriff under sierra cameroon has detected 2 suspected cases of
11:23 am
marburg, infection among people living near its southern border. at least 9 have died after contracting the disease in neighboring equitorial guinea. it's considered as infectious as a bowler, and it causes severe fever, bleeding, and organ failure that are no approved vaccines to prevent infection. foreign ministers in the united states, germany, france, italy, and the u. k. have issued a joint statement condemning israel's plan to formalize 9 illegals settlements based, say, this strongly oppose israel's unilateral action warning. it'll worse intentions with palestinians. israel security cabinet said the decision was taken in response to a series of attacks in occupied east jerusalem, where the illegal settlements in occupied palestinian territory have been one of the most contentious issues in the conflict between 19672022. israel has built more than 290 illegal settlements in the occupied. weiss bank and the jurisdiction
11:24 am
goes far beyond the homes. an estimated 700000 settlers live in the occupies weiss bank. israel has also built several enclave in palestinian neighborhoods in occupied east jerusalem home to more than 220000 is really satler's. a settlements violate international law and the large numbers of israelis living in the occupied territory. complicate efforts to establish a palestinian state. ly, corey is a senior fellow at harvard kennedy school, is as israel won't be intimidated by western condemnation, you've got 2 things going on here. you got the big 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 or equally for palestinians and israelis or they're just gonna issue statements when israel is do something illegal or criminal, but they take strong actual on the palestinians. do something the other one is for the israeli really implementing this policy are taken from the palestinians of
11:25 am
settling it's 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 47 they've been taken post on the law. 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, you know, 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,
11:26 am
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 door of the region, especially in israel, and the israelis have never suffered penny pressure. therefore they keep doing what they're doing. for objects have been shot down and over us and canadian aerospace in the past week, one of those was the chinese balloon. the washington says was being used to spine defense attitude. alex could help us and says, 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
11:27 am
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 and unknown payload, weighing 900 kilos on the edge of space said 18000 meters drifting on counts of wind that circumnavigate the earth in different directions at different heights. sophisticated technology now allows able into 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 services. the military and research centers. china's intelligence balloon program has been expanded in recent years. satellite images of an alleged surveillance balloon watch site in animal gola show. the site's been significantly upgraded since 2019 the united states are protected by a ring of long rings radar sites that are able to track thousands of objects and
11:28 am
space and all across movement within range. but there is a gap between 15 and 21000 meters. with these radars are relatively blind. and the chinese balloon exploited this gap floating into u. s. air space via alaska traveling south. it hovered over montana for 2 days home state to the missile silos. the form part of the u. s. strategic nuclear deterrent before it was finally shot down. the world's largest agriculture. excavations underway in california was moist stalls showing new technology to increase food production. the wellness has 60 percent more food needs to be produced by 2050, to keep up with global population, which is expected to rise from 8 to 10000000000 people. new methods are also being developed to lower fami emissions by 67 percent. rob ronald supports from the world agricultural expo in california. the expo features giant tractors and
11:29 am
combine harvesters and multi $1000000000.00 corporations that manufacture all sorts of farming equipment. not to mention a full line of brush shredders. new technologies are changing, hope farming is done. we are really add the cost while the revolution in agricultural technology and that's has a lot of implications for food and foot production. an example is monarch tractors, fully electric, multiple camera and sensor equip multi use machine. a fleet of these can be operated autonomously without drivers, by a single farmer acting as a controller. it stores data on crops in soil conditions. among many other variables. farmers are essentially figuring out how to feed the was growing population at a time and to have less resources. so we need to use less of these resources, but yet still produce more food than our before. so that is the challenge we all
11:30 am
have, and that's where technology has a role to play and technology. these firmly believe can bridge that gap. the challenge to global agriculture is immense. right now there are 8000000000 people on earth, 345000000 of whom are considered acutely food insecure. by mid century, the population will grow to about 10000000000. and global warming is threatening crop yields a nasa study projects. world mays production will drop nearly a quarter by 2100 due to global heating the u. s. world food organization estimates that by 2050 the world will have to increase its food production by 70 percent in order to feed an ever growing population. one way to close the gap is to farm and consume with less waste. right now if we were to take away food waste and food losses, we would ride away increase of food production by.
