with a one know when the in hello. we begin this news hour with the race to get a to remote areas, inter kia, cut off by 2 powerful earthquakes. it's now been 9 days since the quakes toppled. tens of thousands of buildings across turkey on syria. aid has been slow to reach many areas. the death toll in both countries stands up more than 41000, a figure that's raising by the day. we have a team of correspondence covering that this officer said i'm cross of our glues, and the turkish capital ankara. natasha. her name is an it's kinder and her high providence, but we begin with sammy se dunn, who has been on board a helicopter that's been delivering aid supplies to a remote area of a d. m. on province. this is charlie. are they getting aid out to these areas? we're now on the weight of the left. it's

a very situation. this is another, not exactly sure what the conditions all we know these people know that a few days ago there was a hell. we've got a helicopter that loaded all off you out to give us a shot or walked inside the boxes. all flo boxes here. when you talk to the military people that this is more than just another military operations. i say, no, i know, but this is more than just another minute real. this is all, these are all family. this is all we need to get a lot of anxiety also

possible. all right, so i think we're landing it looks like on the call. hold on the right. i don't see anybody. all right. this is where you live. normally, the goal that comes to my head, frankly, no to help you with normal conditions like load it up. but most joelle i'll be able to so all of that mountain, i mean, how would you that the, the size of the mouth is the law. it raises the flight opening between the mountains and it's very, very difficult. there is a road making route. i might just this all down everybody,

all these other people, all in relatively holes with people all killed in a relatively good condition now, but my bad old well we live not to get in the way of a delivery vh. so we're going to stay where we are and let them for you, will they need my own lives. just to give you an idea of what a policy spoke about. saying that literally millions of people. i've been buying the area that like if you just get out to a map, we're not talking about poles you are on the ground. now

the military are taking the book, but we're looking for the vehicle where what happens to the village? what are the people living in the whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, okay, here we all people who made it up to the ministry making badly. i don't think it's a good idea for us to get out of although we all, with one all the more they go in the rubble, they need a so

the scale of the devastation is becoming clearer. the turkish government says 40 percent of buildings in common morass are now damaged. in antarctica, half of its structures are considered unfit, and will be demolished. and 50 percent of buildings in her tie were damaged. the interior minister says it expects to rebuild homes and affected areas within a year. stephanie decker has been to the turkish village of god, char, deary, we showed you just the devastation in the remote villages. we're now going to show you what it's actually done to the earth that were in a cemetery. and you can see that the earthquake even disturbed the dead. and then in the ground, you see where the earth broke. when that immense magnitude earthquake hit in this

area, you even have a fresh grave here to we were being told by the villagers that this line actually killed the sister of a man who lives in that house further down. this is the gray. fatty is going to show you those. this is a newly newly buried of course. part of so many people over 41000 people that have lost their lives in this devastating earthquake. but looking at the ground really gives you a sense of just the power. i mean, and of course we don't need any more in the sense of we really showed you the devastation of what it's done to the buildings. but the way this ground has been lifted, you can see here as well. and then you see this massive crevice crater that they have started to fill out where the earth literally just split apart. and so this gives you a sense of just the enormity the, the, that the power of mother nature that has caused such destruction. i mean we, when we were in the village in our last life, just before we went on air,

there was an aftershock and we've been feeling the aftershocks her every day and every night. but we were standing on the village ground. yeah. and it literally shook and you could hear the sound and this is a very light compared to your the 7.8 and 7.6 earthquakes that caused such a devastation. so this just gives you a sense of just how violent that was. russell sars are has more from the city of idea man in the southeast. that's also his home town. i have reported on many crisis areas. i have the foregoing wars in syria in japan and in many other places they have been hit by disaster. however, i will then imagine that one day i'm going to report about the death of my own friends and the city that i grew up in, in this very street, that now i am report him. i have worked with my friends. i have several great memories. we have loft, we have joked,

and we had hopes for the future. but now many of them are gone. and i know that from no one, i'm not going to be able to dial their number and to talk to them over the phone or during the summers when i come to was of my family's, i'm not going to be able to meet many of my friends that i had years with now, it's quite a painful feeling here. however, here the rest of your force are still continuing. you can see that the heavy lifting machinery, the diggers are digging into the raw both right over there. but that is checked by the secured by did the rescue teams here. and they said there is no one alive under this rob over here. so now they are cleaning this robles to make the way for the vehicles to move in the city. and this is not only a single example here that are hands or such sites blocks off their blocks

apartment off the apartments are leveled on across the city. so this is one of the main avenue of the city that connects the rest of that are the i'm on with each other. now you can see it is it's completely gone here. and the other houses and the homes that are still standing there either either cracked or heavily damaged. that's why people do not feel secure enough to get back to them because they are not safe now. to ferries have been sent from is stumble to the port city of his kindred in turkey as earthquake zone. and one is providing shelters and health services and the other will transport survivors to other cities to recover natasha of a name reports these children are too young to know the word earthquake. they ask their parents why their house shook so violently. they want to go home, but they say, chins scared, disclosure go left shortly to get a psychologically,

it affected my 5 children a lot. i could barely rescue them. all my savings is gone with the factory. i saved my children and that is enough for me. this theory has been converted into an emergency shelter and medical clinic. every one we met on board has been living in tents. it arrived from istanbul 2 days ago and is docked in the mediterranean port city of his ken duran in her tie. the mayor says, 14000 people have died across the province. the survivors feel nami grappling with trauma. they are only just beginning to articulate. so go to the football, nothing is left. i don't want to live here anymore. i cannot live with disappear. you can't believe what we've seen. horrible things are. psychology is badly affected by it. there were so many sounds,

everything shaking it stopped and then we ran. survivors can get psychological support on board the ship. the president of the target, red crescent, says it's providing mental health services across the region. a calls its capacity humble, compared to the immense gale of the need that they deal with on whatever god says it happens. but we are very afraid. i experienced the moment of death. i have nobody a little more than a week ago these earthquake survivors had beds to sleep it and taught food to eat basic necessities most people take for granted. now there, among more than 13000000 people carrying the worst of southern tre, kias collective trauma. so let's not bring in natasha. she's joining us from iskander. and so what's the current situation where you are and in the province as

a whole had tie province? natasha we've been in the capital of a tie province 4 days called and tuck yet. it is absolutely devastated. we spoke to the mayor of her tie province to day, and the scope of this devastation is starting to come into focus in terms of statistics. he says more than 14000 people have died. more than $3000.00 buildings need to be demolished. more than 10000 buildings have been damaged. just as with the federal government, no tally of the missing has been compiled. he says it's simply too early. he expects that the search and rescue operations will continue for a month and on that note, a great piece of news. 228 hours after the earthquake hit. a mother and 2 children were, were pulled out of an apartment building in antalya to day. back to those fairies,

the ferry that you saw has a capacity of 1200 people were told it will remain in place and available to earthquake survivors for as long as needed. there is another ferry that is stopping in a scanner and then traveling west along the coast and onward to istanbul, dropping off people, so they can temporarily resettle. all right, thank you so much. natasha. the name report from scantron inter kia so the turkish president, rather tabor to once as the government will begin building new homes for a survivor. as by the end of the month. and he promised as a promise, rather, to start with $30000.00 houses and to complete all projects in 10 affected cities in the south, within a year. until then, survivors are trying to find any shelter if they can send him casa wagner reports from the turkish capital. ankara these machines

haven't stopped his 2 earthquakes struck 2 kids southern cities. neither have these employees at this turkish ret crescent factory. ever day 500 tents are san here and delivered to survivors in the region. millions of them urgent the need shelter. loans exempt them, their lives in this earthquake affected turn cities. that's why our capacity functions are different. this time we always had long shifts, while producing for previous earthquake regions were overwhelmed. working selflessly, it's winter and it's called. and these devastated cities. people's leads are acute to meet the demand, all tend manufacturers in the country have been mobilized. the turkish ret crescent is a major contributor so that it was only the funk was loving to our tents were created specifically for earthquake and winter conditions. family tents are 16 and

a half square meters and size of all about the resistant to water fire and mildew chosen blankets, food medical supplies, containers and mobile toilets are also urgently needed. the purpose preston has asked people in our like, affected areas to bear with him for years so he can build them new homes. that as a recovery efforts turn into accommodating survivors who don't even have temporary shelters, the 2 earthquakes impacted the lives of more than 13000000 people. displacing at least half of them president reject our bardon is promising new homes within a year. but with turkey are facing one of its worst earthquake disasters. 8 organizations are likely to face a longer mission scene. ampio, solar elders era on cutter, iraq is air listing, emergency supplies to both countries,

but there are fears they won't be able to reach rebel held areas in syria. not abdullah had reports from baghdad. iraq is one of the 1st countries to respond to the devastating s a quake that has hit heart both to kia and city. this is part of the materials provided by iraq to those affected by the ethnic wake in, saw them to kia and other syria. officials here say that they have set up an a left from iraq to both to kia and cynthia, providing emergency materials, including relief, materials, aid for the stuff. these are heaters to help those industries, those people stranded by the quick to get warm in the freezing, cold in southern turkey and northern syria. not only by

air, but also by land really, of convoys have been leaving from iraq and also from northern iraq from the semi autonomous kurdish region. now the materials include food is tough. medical materials and shelters blankets. and in some cases, also, iraq has provided fuel and medicine, but because some of these planes at land in damascus. so given the fact that there is political division that is conflict in syria. so the question is whether or not these or all of these materials reach those industries, those affected by the ethnic wake in the rebel held areas in northern syria. but without through, i had al jazeera but that plenty more had on the al jazeera in his hour,

including more on the proposal to reform columbia's health care system. that's fracturing the government's coalition. last 4 people are killed in new zealand after cycle. and gabriel causes widespread flooding and destruction coming up and sport playing to win tiger woods gets ready for his 1st tournament in 7 months. ah. but 1st, the ukrainian president says his forces are fighting for every meter in the east of the country. for le reza lansky made the comments as nato defense minister his meet him, brussels for a 2nd day to agree on providing more military support for cave dice in a part of the vietnam blue. another nation handle the situation on the frontline, especially in don't it skin hands cremains very difficult. the bezels and 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 today, ukraine must be successful. we're in agreement here. success must come to the boss and as joining us from brussels. so nato nations saying bill increased their defense spending. how what, what exactly are they aiming for? step well, a lot more money than they are spending at the moment or the 2 percent that they agreed on in 2014 of their annual budget to go to the fans is not enough. her dad stole to berkeley. secretary general has sat, we're living in a more dangerous world. he says because of the war ukraine, but also because of the threats coming from china. but at, in a reality only 7 of the 30 natal countries are reaching this 2 percent. and he said the 2 percent is just a minimum, a lot more money is needed. and that also means that the factories that are now producing arms half to more farther be more efficiently used. but also new

factories need to be built quickly. because if that doesn't happen, ukraine. com simply when this war, so that's what the message is here. there will be a summit in vilios in this way. and yeah, in july to decide on exactly how much more spending the need to will have to do. but this is definitely not enough right now. ok, thank you so much. austin, for that update from brussels. we do have reaction out of moscow with sama been jeff age. but so far, no direct reaction from the russian government on this meeting in brussels. but russia has, for the last year, made its point that nato is using ukraine to white ridge proxy war against russia. we've heard from the russian foreign minister talking to the state duma today saying that the quote it's reached. the west has reached a point of no return, and using ukraine as a big head against a russia he called the west of peddling lies against russia,

especially when it comes to issues such as the north steam pipeline. and the russian foreign minister has also told the state duma, that the russian presidents actions to carry out this special operation is yielding results. russia has not been really involved in explaining its position to its people, but its been telling them that it is an existential issue. that it had to go to war . and according to moscow, it is making headway. at least 73 people trying to reach europe are missing, presumed drowned following his shipwrecked off the libyan coast. on tuesday, the un migration agency says the boat was carrying 80 people when i left the yard. earlier that day, 7 survivors were taken to hospice on what they say were extremely dire conditions. at least $130.00 migrants have died trying to cross the central mediterranean already this year. scotlands 1st minister nicholas sturgeon has resigned after more

than 8 years in the top job. she'd been in that position since 2014. this decision is not a reaction to short term pressures. of course that are difficult issues confronting the government to know. but when is that ever naught the case? i have spent almost 3 decades in front lane politics, a decade and a half on the top or 2nd top wrong of government. when it comes to navigate thing, choppy, waters resolving seemingly intractable issues or soldiers or when walking away would be the simple option. i have plenty of expedient to draw on. so this was just a question of my ability or my resilience to get through the latest period of pressure. i wouldn't be standing here today, but it's not. this decision comes from a deeper and longer tear assessment. let's get more in as a re challenging joining us and linda. so tell us more about how and why this came

about. really. i think this announcement took many people by surprise. there were some early morning leaks and then hastily assembled press conference which gave confirmation. so there is early morning room is basically what she said was, this was a very hard decision, but the leadership should entail having an intuition about when the right moment was to step down and let someone else have ago. and she said that moment was now basically, she's been asking herself a couple of questions recently. the 1st is, he's staying in this position right for me next. and the 2nd of course, which he said was more important. is me stay in this position right for my party, for the country and for the independence movement. and both of those questions, she said, over recent weeks, she'd been concluding that perhaps the answer was no. she alluded to the physical

mental toll of the child being in such a demonic position for so long. and she also alluded to the fact that the independence movement that is so day to her, might be better served with someone else at the forefront of it. someone else about whom everybody hasn't already made up their minds. so yes, she's choosing step down. that process might happen immediately. there has to be a replacement puts in 1st and then she will 6. and then she will give way to that replacement. we don't know quite how long it's going to take, but probably months. okay, thank you. really challenge reporting from london? let's be through that nicholas mchugh and who's a professor of territorial politics at the university of edinburgh. she's joining us from fall kirk and scotland. welcome to al jazeera. so were you surprised by this announcement? i was certainly the place but it came to be and nobody was really bad, but we read,

expecting at some point in the parliament, is tam nicholas surgeon with that bag and had been sent to bethel say she's been in prayer for 8 years. the 1st minister that's a long claim, and i think we did see some glimpses to be in her statement of the personal toll, the personal sacrifice that holding that high office for that long time t in both. do you think that she's leaving with relatively high popularity or, or what's going on with the pulling numbers? yes, i mean clearly that having some physical issues that have affected her whole ratings mostly arranged the difficult issue of changing the law and gender recognition. but i don't think this was her being pushed the pressure for her to to resign. i think the meetings we have picked up again, probably she remained pretty popular as

a leader in her part. you mean by far the most popular in scotland? so i think this is absolutely a deficient of her own making at the timing that she has chosen. nobody with pressuring to go. and one of the other issues, of course, is the, the issue of the independence referendum and what she just wasn't able to, to achieve. so what happens next with that issue and how, how does the next person take it forward? so i think the issue of i data g m is probably also dictating timing on her resignation here. and that there is no question that whoever takes over will be as passionately committed to independence as nicholas such as has been. and the issue is how you get there from here on the obvious pathway, the best pathway that everyone recognizes of an independent rec, random is not within the competence of the scottish parliament. we know that nice

since the supreme court ruling towards the end of last year. so the packet has already shed george at the beach and the decision to make over what the do now and what the strategy should be. moving into a general election which be next year, nicholas dalton has a french and turning my selection into the fact to referendum on independence disquiet within the past about how much further far was that kinda strategy would actually take the past me independence movement. so i think that will probably end up being the issue that defines the leadership context. and it will be interesting to see if there are differences among the candidates on the best to be forward. but it's, it's not a path that the holy holes within their own hands. ok, thank you so much for speaking to us from rutland. so had on the al jazeera news,

our as new york experience is a very balmy winter. we ask why no real snowfall has arrived so far this year. in sports, skiing and shooting. we'll hear what it takes to be good. ah well the heat wave has gone turned into thunderstorms, actually in quite severe ones in the southeast of brazil and through paraguayan they're still there in the forecast the rest of wednesday, the 10th. she's behind back down to where they should be. it's still windy and the some snow on the high ground, the soft man. these are quite stormy in the fall conditions, but in the middle between the 2. and this is particular where the 5 areas actually the weather hasn't changed very much. the wind is still enough to drive those files

and there are no showers falling out of the sky to help with putting them out. there's a continued flood risk in ecuador, possibly peru less. so bolivia and certainly colombia with the forecast showing is orange. flashes means big tops. the thunderstorms in the same is true in french kind of the northeast of brazil, as well as for the caribbean, steady breeze, now occasional showers in places like nicaragua, costa rica or panama. otherwise it looks quite fine, doesn't it? that's true. also, throughout mexico that drive of the wind, the moisture and waltz, coming up into the southern gulf states has resulted in thunderstorms. just wait for the system here and back round. it still got snow but is quite long way north in canada has been sto up in the rocky majesty that's we've gotten back into the plains. ah, the women, ron micro businesses are key to center goals development and to improved food

security. access to finance helps them succeed since 2014, nearly a $180.00 micro enterprises, collectives and small businesses across synagogue received concession re financing . these loans were made possible by an initiative administered by the q 8 good. will fund the q 8 fund partners in development? tough times the man tough questions. what exactly are you asking for you? what the troops on the ground, the rigorous debate we challenge conventional wisdom racism is so deeply entrenched in the country that is identified with american. so when you challenge racism, it looks as if you're challenging american and demand the truth. there's no serious discussion about this because it goes to the very root of who we are up front with me. mark them on hill. what out there? lou.

ah ah. hello again. the top stories on the algae 0 news our. the circus military has been flying in much needed aid to areas that were cut off by the earthquakes. some of those towns in the south of the country are in remote regions, so the military has been delivering supplies by helicopter. a women has been rescued from the building and come from on morass 9 days after the quakes heads. but the number of people being found alive is dropping. more than 41000 people have been killed across both countries. the united nations is appealing for nearly $400000000.00 to help provide humanitarian aid to earthquake victims in syria. it comes as $22.00 trucks carrying

u. n. 8. have now crossed into opposition. held areas. expert search and rescue teams from around the world have poured into turkey. joining local volunteers on professionals to rescue thousands of people after the earthquakes. colon baker has more on the technologies they're using. it takes at least 2 years of training to qualify to work and search and rescue operations. many emergency staff or volunteers from disaster teams in their home countries registered with the united nations to deploy to disastrous owns their tools and techniques are time tested. their mission begins with a dog or search dog is our best or by far the search gone can do the searching of a 1000 people. yes, a call for silence years to the rubble. for the teams that have the microphones pick up, sounds transmitted from underneath the rubble. if they're too faint, seismic sensors are used to detect tiny vibrations. the technician out there,

carrying out the rescue, would have a headset and they would be able to hear any anyone talking or anyone trying to make noise in the verbal pile by a process of elimination. gradually move the area that where search and downs down to quite a small small noise potentially we will. we are here in a little pop. the equipment needs a human operator. the acoustic was the found on friday night sunday. i'm moving him off the other than 20 hours, which was smoking and scratching record here it and that phones. it says no time to lift away debris. they take a tunnel, sometimes using local wood for supports. finally, cameras on polls are extended into holes to spot any survivors from the systems we used. i think there were 20 to 30 years old. the screens are getting better the

come, i was like getting better, but it's not like a new new system, you know. so we're using known systems long time and this to work pretty quickly. but the scale of the disaster in turkey is so immense, most only have their hands and ears to work with. and syria rescue workers are also using their knowledge and experience to do the same work. during the coming months, international search and rescue societies will review what's worked best. how many people have been rescued? and how after so long colon baker, al jazeera, thousands of people in columbia have gathered to protest health reforms proposed by president gustavo petro. the rallies come a day after petro presented a health care bill to congress. that's bringing out a sunroof kathy who's joining us in the capital bullets. so sondra is today is opposition day in colombia. what is happening there?

that indeed is the case here in the capital book with that number of cities across the columbia. thousands of people who are in opposition to the left, the government of gustavo pits are taking to the streets. and as you were saying, this is happening just a day after the president that not only presented to congress the text of this very controversial helps reform. but also, and now a number of other reforms, pension reforms, labor reform, structural reforms to a system in columbia that the president hope will change. finally, the way he puts it back, if not centuries of inequality and poverty in the countries hoping that these reforms will bring us have more social justice in columbia. the people that are

gathered here obviously think otherwise, they are mostly politically conservative. some of them are libra fairy and they would like to see a smaller room. busy for the government in columbia at a time when there is a government that is proposing to expand the role of the government, the in the country. and in particular when it comes to the health reform. a lot of the people here are supporters of former presidents, alberto eva, and his democrats. spencer party that has been leading the opposition against the government of gustavo. and what we're seeing really as a way, sort of sort of taking the temperature on the streets of which crowd is bigger, those who support these reforms versus the those who are opposing it for now. the crowd behind me is not particularly big. we understand that this is one of 2 different locations where people are gathering here in the capital that they're

either demonstrations that are on their way in either major cities in the country. and from here they'll walk towards downtown boca path. so what we're seeing here essentially as best is this, the 2 different fully pick up position and a very polarized country coming out and measuring their forces on the street a call to arms to his followers. like other critical moments in his political career, president was several pits or some of the streets to back is ambitious political proposals. in this case, a helper for me argues will and decades of inequality and exclusion. the 1st of many and it can be said what we have then all 3 reforms and not the last and only one. the forms that seek to guarantee the universal rights of the people to work health and to pensions. instead of made up the actual text of the form was

presented a monday. after monday control their scene speculations, columbia's health care system in which workers pay to be affiliated private sector's providers has for years suffered from corruption in difficult access to services. it has gradually improved over the years. the government is now proposing a profound, over whole it with and private management of funds. well, promising to improve primary care, expand access to treatment and race health care workers salaries of people today struggle to get access to health care. someone with a serious illness like cancer, can spend months trying to get an appointment. and also a lot of time trying to get surgery too many have died before they are attended to come inside. the reform will face a difficult process to get to congress. the proposal has created fractures inside patriot correlation. and even in his cabinet is yes. and you are aware to do either by the president who was elected on the wave of unprecedented street protest back

by unions. environmental east and students have called on the people for support. use of mass mobilize ation, that's been criticized by moderator and sensory politicians, claiming that taking reforms to the streets before they've been this casting. congress is an act of population is she's know they're really up when i think it's a sign, a weakness on the part of the government. the government has betting those who supported them during the protests will come out and force in particular the public workers unions who have the most again from this reform. for now, it's got this shell of popular support, which you will put to the test on wednesday when the opposition has called for a nation wide demonstration against the reform. i'm just, you know, booked up people from the la doc region that's an indian administered kashmir. are protesting in new delhi, they're calling for greater protection of jobs and land poverty metal has more the

people of florida i told them to have their voices heard. many of the pro jestus here have traveled in 1000 kilometers as then takes upon the demand. they want to separate the tasteful, adopt a majority of the population. deb belonged to time community. so people are also asking for increase reflection off then land and jobs number back is part of the logic ish me region fish. meat is condemned, employed by india and pakistan, but governed by the 2 nations in florida in august 2019. the governing part agenda ought to be both the regions especially attaches and rotted directly under new denny's government. the dock was made a union territory but protest so said they were better off anya. they said that. busy then local administrator has have you a powers us new of announcements of infrastructure projects in the region. as bob good sounds about me, jenny interference, and also potential environmental damage. remember, the doc is high up in the himalayas. it is home to many glee, she has been

a fast melting because of global warming. now the indian government has it formed a committee to address that concerns, but may protest as here are opposing that committee. they see that debt gord demand . i'm not to talk of the agenda, pop nathan arches iraq new denny. hundreds of refugees are protesting. health insurance cuts in china. people took to the streets in the cities of wu, han and don leon to rally against recent cuts to medical benefits for the elderly. it comes after widespread demonstrations last year against strict cove lockdown measures. well, opinion polls and south korean suggests there is growing support for a program to develop nuclear weapons. 7 out of 10 people say they want sol to independently counter north korea's escalating military threats. brought mcbride reports from a south korean capital living next to a neighbor that's long been developing its nuclear arsenal. it is
