when ah, to we begin with the race to get a to remote areas, inter kia, cut off by 2 powerful earthquakes. it's been 9 days since the quakes toppled. tens of thousands of buildings across turkey and syria. 8 has been slow to reach many areas, but that whole both country stands up more than 41000, a figure this raising by the day. we have a team of correspondence covering the disastrous and cost of elk losing the turkish capital ankara. natasha, the name is an skinner and ty province, but we begin with sammy j. done. who's been on board a helicopter that's been delivering a supplies to a remote area of idea mine province. this is charlie getting an aide out to these areas. we're now on the way it's

a very situation and all of that, it's not exactly sure what the condition is. 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. give us a shot or walked inside the helicopter boxes, all flo boxes when you talk to the military, well that this is more than just another minute, 3 operations i say going over you know, this is more than just another minute break. this is all, these are all families to get a lot of design them also

possible. all right, so i think we're landing it looks like all the call all the it's right. i don't. all right, this is where you live. normally, the goal that comes to my head, frankly, go to help you with normal conditions, let load it up. like most, jo, wow, i'll be able to so all of that now, i mean, how would you know that the size of the mouth is alive, raises of light opening between the mouth and it's very, very difficult. there is a road lake route. i might just this all down

everybody, all these other people, all in relatively holes with those people all fill in a relatively good position of apply. but all we live not to get in the way of delivery v 8. so we're going to stay where we are and that will they the why or why? right now, just to give you an idea of what a policy spoke about. saying that the for the millions of people i've been area call you just to get out. we're not talking about poles you are on the ground. now the military, i'll take you the book,

but we're looking at the vehicle where what happens to the village? what about the people living here? is a whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, okay, daily, all the bill of lading all through the military. taking the ball badly. i don't think it's a good idea for us to try and get out of although we obviously with the one that we want, all they going to rob a medical with

the way with the scale of the devastation is becoming clearer. the turkish governments as 40 percent of buildings and carmen mirage are damaged in an takia, half of its structures are considered unfit and will be demolished. and 50 percent of buildings in a tie were damaged. the interior minister says it expects to rebuild homes in affected areas within a year or 2 fairies have been sent from istanbul to the port city of iskander, an in turkey as earthquake zone. one is pervading shelters and health services and the other will transport survivors to other cities to recover natasha. the name reports these children are too young to know the word earthquake. they asked their parents why their house shook so violently. they want to go home,

but they say, do tuned scare preschoolers, you will not actually get this. i can logically, 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. it is docked in the mediterranean port city of his gun to run in her tie. the mayor says, 14000 people have died across the province. the survivors feel nami grappling with trauma. they're only just beginning to articulate with her. so go to the football. nothing is left. i don't want to live here anymore. i cannot live with this fear. you can't believe what we've seen horrible things. our 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 of 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 hot food to eat. basic necessities most people take for granted. now there are among more than 13000000 people carrying the worst of southern tre kias collective trauma. and we can now speak to natasha. she's joining us from iskander. and so what is the current situation and how tie province natasha?

we spoke to the mayor of tai province. it is one of the provinces that has been hardest hit by this earthquake. and now the scope of the devastation is coming into focus. in terms of statistics, he says more than 14000 people have been killed. more than 3000 buildings demolished another, more than 10000 buildings damaged, just like the federal government. he saying it's still too soon to tally the missing. he hopes the 3rd to rescue operation will continue. for another month to day, after 228 hours buried in the rubble, a woman and 2 children were pulled out of an apartment building in antique. yes, that's the capital of had tie. as for the fairies that you saw in our story, the fairy ines scantron will remain in place. we're told as long as earthquake survivors need them. that 2nd ferry is picking out people here at the scanner and

port ceiling along western coast along cities and on to is stumble where people can hop off and resettle temporarily. all right, thank you so much. tasha for that update from iskander and in turkey. so infrastructure has been badly damaged, right across the region. we have russell sars are reporting from the city of idea man in the southeast, which is also his home town. i have reported on many crisis areas of the foregoing wars in syria, in ukraine, 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 no m 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 visit my families, 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 riskier for source still continue in. 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 of 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 the month 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. well, as we've been hearing, aid is making its way to some of the smaller towns and villages. stephanie decker has been to the turkish village of go chad erie. 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. she we're being told by the villagers that this lion 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 did the power of mother nature, that is 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 or 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, you know, 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. despite the odds survivors have continued to be pulled out from under the rubble. in the past few hours, a 74 year old was rescued alive in copper, mon mirage. she'd been trapped for 22027 hours. an earlier a 42 year old woman was rescued in the same city. 9 others were rescued on tuesday . the turkish president runs a tabor. the one says that the government will begin building new homes for survivors. by the end of the month, he promised to start with $30000.00 houses and to complete all projects and 10

affected cities in the south within a year. until then, survivors are trying to find any shelter they can. seneca smuggler reports from the turkish capital ankara. these machines haven't stopped says to earthquakes struck to kiss 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 little bit in this earth wake affect it 10 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 cold. 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 to the room of us, only the broncos living to our tents were created specifically for earthquake and winter conditions. family tents are 16 and a half square meters in size, or whether they are resistant to water, fire and mildew chosen blankets, food medical supplies, containers and more. bal toilets are also urgently needed the furnace? kristen has asked people in our like affected areas. vale with him for a year so he can build them new homes that as recovery efforts turn into accommodating families 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 ridge i tell you back on is promising new homes within a year. but with turkey facing one of its worst earthquake disasters. 8

organizations are likely to face a longer mission scene because all the l 0 on cutter, human rights watch was called the un humanitarian response to the quakes in syria. inadequate. the rights group is calling for urgent help for those who've been affected. well, i'm involved reports that i beheld city and tone of generates is close to the border with plucky it for 12 years. it's survivor, bottle bombs and artillery shells launched by the ceiling, ami button up quick level. most of it in seconds more than a week has passed since 2 quakes struck the surgeon and people he said, there is no sign any help is on its way. they're struggling to survive on their own home. our young circle desperately need tense. i can stand the cold, no problem. i can sleep anyway, no problem. but they a woman, children, an engine who we took out from the rubble lawn care. i just dropped my kids off at

the hospital and a whole body is all blue on it. because i guess nobody tokyo sent help to people here cotton civil war. but the al squeaks have disrupted that and worse and they're offering. you won't be generous from the 1st day. we had around 3900 families who reflected without any shelter. we had 270 buildings that were completely destroy around a 1000 buildings and not suitable for you. we have 3900 families who have no shelter . last week, the united nation started sending 82 syria for border crossings with after the syrian government announced it with cooperate. and shortly after its representative visit to the effected area level, the trauma of the people we spoke to was visible. and this is a trauma which the world needs to heal. and the reason we're here is because we

want to raise money for the brave organizations which are helping these people overlap these people to syria. other humanitarian agencies and countries in the region half sent 8 shipments by air to damascus international airport. but quick survivors in opposition held areas in the northwest say none has reached them. then we'll still have the full, we want our voice to reach the whole world. but where's the? there are hundreds of people who still need tenants out and they don't even have somewhere to sit, find a solution. whereas this 8 coming from, let's see. it is never going to come here. when we saw that nearly 3000000 people who've been displaced within syria live in the northwest. many have been forced to move repeatedly because of the war of weeks have left tens of thousands homeless yet again. and the desperate team to shelter food,

medical care and clean water to drink. 10500 was victim of done her mother who is an oncologist. he's also the former president of the syrian american medical society. he's joining us now from it live in syria. thanks for speaking to al jazeera, you crossed into it live 2 days ago. can you give us an assessment of what you've seen so far? and what people have been telling you? well, sam's, the saran american medical society is an organization that solder work in jerry up for less than yours. so we already have about 30 facilities here loving our trials. hospitals that we operate on, 1700 of staff. so we are from day one from the 1st grade started, we have a full assessment of the damage and the medical means obviously aid has been very slow to come to the northwest lesion 5 years after 5 days after. ready the

earthquake, we had seen nothing going on syria. still very slow now. so the needs are tremendous. and our team who came here to us from the united states in order to help and accessing the situation and try to find out how we're going to be able to help on the long run has been helpful. so what we found up that the immediate injuries are already gone. some of them are what we call cold cases. our son tom fractures that need to be effects may be delayed until the hop cases are taken care of. but now we're seeing those horrible effect side effects of these crush injuries. we've seen spinal injuries received kids who are paralyzed and now developing complications of their injuries.

factions, we're seeing crushed, ones with skimming. some of the lanes, unfortunately, has to be amputated, roofing also the big. ready search and kidney failures do the crush injuries and what we call rapid my alice is a license of muscles of the body and, and that is putting so much pressure on the previous patient. so the dallas is patients who have been requiring 3 times, are we going to one day? can you tell me what sort of medical aid has come in so far? i mean, we have been reporting that not much has entered the area whatsoever, but now we understand that some aid is entering by the u. b united nation. so from what you've seen, what's coming so far, and what do you need the most? yeah, well most of the ages come in areas what is understandably, the more related to wash and nutrition and

maybe housing and stuff. i'm not really aware of much of medical a coming in yet. we have many shipments ready to be shipped from the united states. hopefully we can get them in as soon as possible. there are no medical resources here. i've kinda drained and what we really need is the alice's chemotherapy and the for the chronic patients. but most importantly, a lot of expertise and handling is very complex cases. how challenging is that? people are considering the, the best most state of medical facilities and hospitals due to of course, the war. well i'm in the we are our house close structure has been you know, we've been working on it for years for less than yours was jerry and people are

organization and many other medical organizations down through similar situation. much lower scale with bombing and destruction of medical facilities we're able to cope. ready that our staff have gone through many, many bad situations including chemical weapons for that matter. so they are resilient. the patients are. ready resilient and they. ready are well prepared and trained to go through these things, but it's very stressful, very frustrating when you know that you are having such an optimal sub optimal facility stuff, optimal instruments of optimal supplies to work on these patients. some of these patients that have been saudis with surgeries, somewhere else up here, they may end up with applications. ok, we'll have to leave it there. we thank you so much for speaking to us from dr. ham . either. thank you. thank you. now turkey and syria had agreed for

a temporary relocation for a syrian refugee is living an earthquake hit areas in turkey, a 100 so begun to cross into northwest syria and her son has more from the bible. however, border crossing how to go. not sure if you had more than 600 syrians have arrived at the jewelry goose crossing into kit. opposite of serious bubble hub crossing. according to the immigration of this year, there are $400.00 syrian families undertook his site, waiting to cross. that's about 1600 people. $600.00 have already cross the border into serial on wednesday. those a lot to return had a temporary protection cart granted by the turkish authorities and were living in earthquake effect areas and to clear the decision to allow the return was the result of turkish searing coordination to reduce the burden on those families. and on the turkish organizations in those areas,

they can only remain in syria for 6 months. the return is talk about large number of syrians on the turkey side. and we cannot say for sure whether they will come today or not. syrians returning to their homes across that border crossing had this to say, well, i am heading to syria because of the earthquake because nothing has been left for us. we have no homes, no work. we have almost nothing. we have suffered a lot because of the cold weather. we are not happy to go to syria, but we are forced to so we will go for some months and then we'll come back here. i don't feel safe anywhere, valera shall model and well, i can't handle ever thrown that. thank god they opened the crossing for us to see our families and to pay our condolences to my family and to others. we know in syria will we fear nothing now because we can go to see our families after almost 18 months. now we lost friends here in to kia and they're in syria,

but thank god my families find ohio. this over lou. i'm here with my wife and 2 children and going to syria to pay my condolences to my family. as my sister and her 2 children have died in the us. we have gone through horror. the building we live in has been completely destroyed. but god's power save the still ahead on the al jazeera news hour after serving 8 years in scotland, 1st minister nicholas sturgeon and answers her resignation and, and sport playing to win tiger woods gets ready for his 1st tournament in 7 months . ah. as rain around and the rain peninsula, not very much. and the source regional winter storms is just about to bring

a bit more snow into northern turkey, but it goes through and it disappears. in sunshine is still the dominant, where the feature there are frosts at night. but there is a hint of some relative good news in temperatures rising lepers a case in point. by day we're going about 4 degrees and by night we should be at or just above freezer, freezing at the lowest. this is over night. however, the big picture is mostly a sunny one and not a frosty one except in the mountains. that's true. crossing around as well. you may get a bit of snow briefly in toronto, it has been some recently. this rain is dying out, but look at the wind coming down the gulf picking up the dust. the sun is going to be a dusty staff, a suspect in doha, some time on thursday or friday and that wind just strengthened. so does look at her in the forecast next 3 days. friday looks the most likely be dusty and windy and then i'll know it says, cold and strong wind at 20 degrees. these things are all relative. it does feel like that in this part of the world in southern africa, particularly malawi,

mozambique, and south africa floods. have been a problem recently. and i think from the forecast they will be still ah, the oil companies, the biggest companies in the world, had a very deep understanding of the climate crisis before the rest of us. and yet they did not tell anyone else. that's where the crimes 40 years of denying their own scientific evidence. i thought that i could important them to change their business plan. this was very naive decisions that have played our future. it's just pure evil. i don't know what to say. big oils, big lies, talk to on a just, you know, the latest news as it breaks. this is just a small example of big sprawl during humanitarian challenge facing the turkish old bar. it is now the scene is being repeated across this region with detailed covering, like inside me and mark seems to be getting increasingly difficult on the military

rule from around the world. the pentagon says that in recent years, surveillance balloons has been bonded over. why and why? oh, a phone from the algae is there a new dollar? the turkish military has been flying in much needed a 2 areas that were cut off by the earthquake. some of those towns in the south of the country on remote regions. so the military has been delivering supplies by helicopter. a women has been rescued from a building and come on rush, 9 days after the crate. but the number of people being found alive as dropping more

than 41000 people have been killed. the u. k announcing it will make it easier for agencies to help quake relief efforts in syria without breaching sanctions that the government of best shot and human rights watch is called the humana care and response in syria. inadequate, at least 73 people trying to reach europe are missing and presumed drowned following a shipwrecked off the libyan coast. on tuesday, the un migration agency say the boat was carrying 80 people when it left earlier that day, 7 survivors were taken to hospital and what they say were extremely dire conditions . at least 130 migrants of di trying to cross the central mediterranean already this year alone, a bus load of migrants is crushed in panama, killing at least 39 people. it's the worst accident involving migrant fair in at least a decade. the bus collided with another vehicle before falling off

a cliff. 20 others were injured. the passengers had made it through the dangerous dorian gap, reaching columbia, and were being driven to a camp near the border with close to rico. nato defense ministers have met in brussels for a 2nd day to discuss more support for cheve b. u. s. secretary of defense, lloyd austin, outline just how important it is for ukraine to have weaponry from allies in the lead up to a spring offensive by russia. our goal is to make sure that we give ukraine additional capability so that they can be not only be marginally successful, they can be decisive on the, on the battlefield in their upcoming offenses. and so you've seen us deb moved to provide a bradley fighting vehicles. you've seen us deb moved to provide strikers martyrs as leopard tanks in

a number of other things that we're pulling together to provide them additional capability that i think will make a pretty significant difference in their and their counter offensive in the spring . when they turn, secretary general has called our members to spend significantly more on defense than they do now. steph, austin has more from brussels, a lot more money than they are spending at the moment. the 2 percent that they agreed on in 2014 of their annual budget to go to the funds is not enough yet installed. and burke, the 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 in reality, only 7 of the 13 nato countries are reaching this 2 percent. and he says 2 percent is just a minimum, a lot more money is needed. and that also means that the factories that are now producing arms have to work harder, be more efficiently used, but also new factories need to be built quickly. because if that not doesn't happen,

ukraine can't simply win this war. let's cross over through keven, bringing in bas robbie. he's joining us from there. so we've heard that what nate has been saying saying how is this going down and keep any reaction from there? well, it is very clear from all of the comments we've heard in the last few days from ukraine's allies, the united states, nato e u countries. it is very clear that these countries are as involved and committed to the war and ukraine as they can be without actually committing regular forces to the fight on ukrainian soil. and if you look at that, if you look at it in that way, then it makes some of the comments we heard from ukraine's defense minister in an interview published today. very, very interesting. he has been speaking about the possibility one of the most controversial requests from ukraine's government so far of receiving fighter planes to try to take on

a russia in the skies. and he's see me exceedingly confident about ukraine's chances of getting those sooner rather than later. here's some of what he said. i am confident and you know that it's a in interest of the need to lice. because, ah, we have a lot of different types of modern systems. as of tillery, are fighting infantry fighting vehicles, tanks, and cetera, cetera. it means that it's a good level of interoperability between the ukranian and forces or defending forces and need to lice via became the member of need to do factor. after this war, after a week to we became their member of nato d u. i'm sure i'm confident, because it's in the interest of nato allies. now we've seen all of this diplomacy, real uptick and diplomacy ahead of the one year anniversary of this war. and it

comes at a critical time for the fighting in the east. ukraine's civilian and military leaders admit that things are getting more tense when you speak to people on the streets here and keep the keep worrying and wondering about who, if not, if but move will fall to rush an occupation, but when it will happen. so those are serious concerns, the russian saying at this time that they're happy to continue to make slow incremental gains in bus move to occupy ukrainian forces to get them to use up as much and munition as possible. ammunition that ukraine says that is using faster using a faster in this conflict, all over the country than its allies can produce and provided to its troops on the ground. we saw a bit of this playing out over the capital this morning. when there was an air raid alarm, because 6 reconnaissance balloons were spotted over the city. those were shot down . most of them were shot down in the air force. officials speaking on the matter. also said that these are, these were bits of old technology that it is an example of russia trying to get

ukraine to burn up as much of its air defense ammunition, as it can without risking any of its own russian reconnaissance drones. ok, thank you so much. dan bas robbie reporting from keith. thousands of people in columbia have gathered to protest against health reforms. this comes after president gustavo petro presented a health care bill to congress. it includes changes to the health, retirement health, retirement employment on prison sectors. in boca tar, many people also protested in support of the economic and social reforms on tuesday . here is on a syndrome catchy with more from the capital bogus. all sound of people are opposing the reform proposed back when on the 1st left the federal level reached here central, plaza believer. this is a much larger crowd than what we've seen so far. the same papers took office in previous marches and demonstrations by the opposition. there were moments of

tension hearing the last as that m a ration demonstrate the face offer with less teachers from the cow cow region in south west colonial. we're actually, sir. the growth is the current health system in the country that president is proposing to reform these. these demonstrations are coming at day after a paper not only presented the proposed house reform, but also now another. here is reform neighbor reform center reforms among the most important one that he's saying could change the structure that could come through and transform it in a more eco equal and more job one. this is clearly what not what people believe that they feared. idea perform good, have a major effect, a war sitting there, but on the conditions they also think that they would have the opposite

effect, leaving poverty, raising an equality in the country. here the fact that people proposing, for example, the case of the house moving the funds from my private company as minister health in columbia right now to a public. the good news for to come through though, i think the fact that this 5 defenses that we've seen at the time, they have been mostly p for growth as the same, has been the case since yesterday showing that columbia county that has long been defined by political violence is learning to deal with this differences, including on the 3 and i'm mostly peaceful manner. israel has passed the law that allows them to strip citizenship from people who receive money from the palestinian authority after having been jailed for security offences. it also enables them to

be deported to the occupied west bank or gaza strip. that is part of a package of laws introduced after an escalation of violence between israelis and palestinians. last month, sarah hire us has more from western luisel and now this is one. 2 of many measures that's being false, tried by the new israeli governments. on specifically this low husband voted for by 94 votes with only just 10 against the major support from both coalition and opposition to revoke residencies and citizenship for palestinians are accused of terrorism or anyone that supports them. but specifically those are receiving funding from the palestinian authority that tends to be a fund that for kids see that that to fund to spend money to the families of palestinians, specifically those in prisons. but the big question is why will they go? this is a place where they live, this is all they've known. where will they go from here? scotlands 1st minister nicholas sturgeon has resigned after being in the position

since 2014. the 1st female leader of scotland devolved government sturgeon or remain in office until the scottish national party elect a new leader. this decision is not a reaction to short term pressures. of course that are difficult issues confronting the government. just know that when is that ever naught the case, i have spent almost 3 decades in frontline 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 simplest option. i have plenty of expediency to draw. and so this is 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 term assessment ross. greer, is

a scottish screen party politician and member of the scottish parliament. he says nicholas sturgeon has left a clear mark as a leader and his leaving at the right time. nicholas' darcia has been an outstanding leader for the independence movement as a whole. and of course, she's the leader of a government that has 2 parties and the 2 parties of independence. they s m p and my partner, the scottish greens. she's also been consistently the most popular politician in scotland. she laid the country incredibly well through the corbet pandemic, independent support in scotland is higher know than it's ever been before. it's essentially 5050, some polls have, and most pul, recently have independence, slightly over 50 percent if you have it. so below that. so nicholas definitely deserves a large part of the credit for having gotten to this point where independence says clearly the year of about half the population. remember when we start the campaign for the referendum on scottish independence in 2014, just 2 years before support for independence was about 50 percent. and in the

course of that campaign, we brought up to the 45 percent. we eventually won in 2014. so to be able to set know from us starting possession of 50 percent, doctors independent movement and a very strong possession. obviously, knuckle was a fantastic leader for the movement as a whole and, and for heart party, i think we can all recognize being in a possession like that for so long for a day and a half years. teaching huge tool on end of the day. there's a huge amount of quite right for scrutiny and pressure on government to go further into the faster. and there's also an awful lot of completely unacceptable behavior directed that politician some as particularly women and possessions of power like what echo surgeons been. and so i think it's our credit that she's decided herself when is the right time to go? very few people in our line of work and politics actually get to choose when to leave. nicholas decided that for herself, and that's definitely our credit or us chord her sentence,
