mm. mm mm. the united nations is warning the death tolan syria from law last week's earthquakes is likely to rise even further. the relief if it has been disrupted by the politics of the countries civil war. no, i'd. convoys have crossed from damascus controlled territory into rebel held areas . the union has appealed for nearly $400000000.00 to cover the supply of aid. for the next 3 months missile soda went to the syrian town of jan doris. this people are the residence of generous in northwest syria. they're been hit hard by the earthquake, and now they're here and trying to get the aid. they said that aid is too little and too late. however, it's still very much precious for them because any drop off the aid can help them
6:03 pm
to survive this winter. you can see that there are thousands and thousands of people that they have lost their houses or relative there did ones. now they are here waiting for 8 for food, for warm clothes, for heaters, and for the medicines. so it has been days that they were waiting for these aid. there sat there angry, and they say the field that the international community has forgotten them. they said they was, is not hurt. many of the relatives have stayed on the rebels for days and days. didn't have more than more than equipments to, to pull them out. very rudimentary equipments, even sometimes with their bad hands. they needed to, they had to get their beloved ones out of the rebels here. so note was, syria has been bombed heavily by the regime over the course of
6:04 pm
a decade. they already lost a lot. they had been displaced several times and now they are displaced again. so just a little ago, i was talking to a young man who has lost his family. he said that when the earthquake hit him hit his house. he had to hold his son 6 years old son next to him for 24 hours. and that boy, his son, by while the blood was coming out of his his mouth and the father had to witness that. and just 2 meters away. his and his other son who was 8 years old. he has called several times that i am dying help and he said that it was quite a painful moment for him that he couldn't help his daughter as well, has died. and now his father, his his, his wife, is just disabled. another man told me and his historian,
6:05 pm
he has lost his family as well. he said that when he arrived to the hospital, he was in comma. and when you wake up, we, when he woke up, he asked the doctor about his wife, the doctor said, she's dead. he has about his daughter, the doctor says she's also dad. and he has about his son a doctor. so i told him he's all should that. so these are the shared stories here that are, that are really painful and the tragedy is still unfolding here. and the kids many of them, they still do not know how much they have lost. many of them are now without the parents, so that's why, particularly now the international eat, is significantly important because it's winter and particularly during to tide that the night time it's freezing, cold. and every single drop of the 8 can help them to survive. medical facilities already fragile after years of war in syria and now close to
6:06 pm
collapse than honda has more. here in northwest celia medical south have little choice but to use damaged incubators. last week's earthquakes and southern turkey or hit this region hard medical facilities. and this opposition controlled enclave were already weak. do 2 years of war and the lack of funds there now close to collapse. not allow them. we have always faced short addition, but this is not new. but now many incubators, damage as well as other equipment that we need to treat the children. many children were affected by the powerful earthquakes where a rush up was among those who survived, but he's still in shock. i was asleep when it happened, move for lapse, my brother and i will clap under rubber for 3 days before they brought us to hospital. international agency say they are facing a catastrophic situation in the north, where limited access to aid has complicated efforts to handle the aftermath of the
6:07 pm
disaster. it's a different situation and government controlled areas where plain loads of supplies are being delivered to airports. the world health organization says the impact is significant there, but services are available and people are able to access them. unlike in the northwest, where it says people have been through hell for me was our room during the 1st 2 days in hospital. i didn't receive any treatment. there were no doctors available volunteers or students were trying to help us. aid has long been politicized in a country divided by front lines. the international community is promising scaled up response after the syrian government approved the opening of a cor doors 4000000 people in the north relied on aid before the latest disaster. and the realities only getting worse. shelter and food are needed on an unprecedented scale awaiting can i look at our situation. it is cold. our children no longer go to school. we lost our home. there are no toys here. the u. n. is
6:08 pm
appealing for emergency funding and has long been working with a shortage of funds in many describe a forgotten conflict. the earthquakes destroyed already crumbling infrastructure. you know, only when we moved to italy, 3 years ago, we knew the building was not structurally sound, but we had no choice. now engineers told us that we can return to our home. a lot of them now we are homeless. the challenge now is to care for the living, who've already endured 12 years of war. santa hood or l shakita, more than 36000 people have been killed and to keep in its worst earthquake in its monitor history. let's get the latest out of and talk yet with natasha. can name natasha. the focus now is slowly turning to the psychological impact that this disaster is having. there is no doubt a kind of collective trauma in southern turkey. as you mentioned were in the city
6:09 pm
of an talk, you were actually in a tent city for people who have been displaced and takia is in the province of her tie. it is one of the hardest hit during the earthquake, 14000 of the more than 36000 victims of this earthquake has come from a ty province. the city has been absolutely decimated, more than 3000 homes, demolished, and more than 10000 homes damage. well, you're in the tent city today. we followed around to clinical psychologists with the turkish red crescent. they, along with a team of 300 in, had tie province from the ministry of family and social services are reaching out to earthquake survivors trying to offer them whatever mental health services that they can. we overheard one man say that he had heard the house shake, he began to ran, he says the 2nd he put his foot outside the door. the house collapsed,
6:10 pm
but his mother died. and because there was no one to help, he had to dig her out of the rubble. that is one of thousands of stories of trauma, mental health experts tell us that their 1st full to help with these traumatized earthquake survivors is the simply help restore any kind of sense of safety. make sure that they have a little bit more shelter. many of these people prior to coming to this park, we're living outside, give them of food, and also just give them a chance to talk and express themselves. i watch these clinical psychologists offer pats on the back hugs. they played with children mental health services in the coming weeks, and perhaps even years is going to be critical here. there is a concern that children in particular are quote, being neglected as one woman told me they're experiencing, seeing and hearing things that a child should not have to. there's also
6:11 pm
a concern about p t s d a. you should be working with the colleagues from here, from this field in use of the, you know, shoot your cherry emotions with them. you know, you bought, share your emotions and both worked together. so it means basically the so sites of ill work in our view will vary the president of the turkish red crescent says that its ability to provide mental health services to earthquake survivors is quote, humble, considering the enormous need a need that could go on for years and that is why sustained international aid will be required. we spoke to that same man and he says, i am looking for any opportunity for hope. i don't have any. i see a future with no hope and trying to address that hopelessness, trying to bring the community back together to feel
6:12 pm
a sense of togetherness is going to be a big challenge. not only here and untaught yet, but across the 11th 11 provinces, that have been impacted just one of many, many challenges that they face there. thank you so much this natasha can i'm for us . let's bring in fluffy sillier. he is a global network leader for emergency medical teams at the world health organization. he joins us from a donna and to kia. thank you so much for being on this news. our. we begin this program speaking specifically about syria. who can you just give us an idea of just how dye of the situation there is there? because i mean things were pretty rudimentary before the youth quite with 12 years of civil war. can you give us an understanding of what it is like then now dealing with the hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people that have been affected by this earthquake? thank you. so i think the current situation, i mean there is a significant level of small, small distractions. so what's it's, ah,
6:13 pm
it's important today's i'd surely access to the most vulnerable and our to read sharp populations extending career. the capacity to the treat as is say, before all the emergency and, and drama trauma cases at the same time and ensuring that, and that even a critical mental m psychosocial law support to dos in needs with double choice providing as shipped as well. magazines and supplies, as i said, to treat and careful old door stop. when did that incorporate access to emergency and then trauma care, as well as the surgical interventions. how difficult has it been to, to get people an aide into syria? there's been, there's been the possibility to, ah, to move to say they are the materials. there's been ardwick i what d g actually back. welcome the possibility to move supplies and, and, and personnel in deborah in the attempt to scale up the,
6:14 pm
at that provision of the services. so we are here, we had took a bad element of capability going capability and beneath, clearly office scalability. so scale up those, those services. so i think we are the stage now to increase the response to the next level. oh, what about the, the wider implications here, both in turkey and, and, and syria, that the health infrastructure just help badly damaged. has there been and how is that having an impact on being able to treat people now the damage has been so significant. i think the still love to store the steel a lot of fatigue as well on, on the welcome to workers. and that's one actually, or the reason why we have seen it is, can you pick on increase of international solely diety, those i and the national teams actually came to our, to support their response. and shirley, actually the 1st wave, the support of his se drama, an emergency care. but then i think we enter into the 2nd phase,
6:15 pm
or be i showing back access to primary care services and restart, which there was a sanction. and, and basic answer which didn't are required for the population. see this one, just on that. what are some of the long term health assures, you know, in regards to water and sanitation and the risk of infectious diseases? yeah, i mean he knows such kind of prevent is clearly that the reason of increasing on the an infectious disease is the, is that what is extremely important and what is not richard supporting together with other partners? it's clearly they bought an element of the provisional sanitation is increasing their disease surveillance and as well all the activities are that are related to outbreak. prevention and readiness is, is the way immediately to detect and obviously at the same time providing the assessors supports to the population. oh, that is obviously the people that have been injured in this earth quite that you're trading. but what about everyone who was a sick oil beforehand, those with long term illnesses?
6:16 pm
how are they able to get here in the situation here and to make sure that they re establish your day routine health services become a busy day. the next step off of the response, the showing that those they have exhausted basically, for example, for non communicable diseases in india, the condition an access to our dos services. i mean, obviously this isn't a short term problem. it's going to stretch long into the future. what are some of the ongoing needs? and i mean, how do you keep up the pace of delivering aid and medical supplies and, and, and, and emergency relief to, to people not over weeks or months but you know, right? the way through the rest of this year and into next year. yeah, i think they be clear phases detroit. now this would be the immediate focus on the acute phase of the response. and then obviously it should be a scalar, off of the current response in the plan that addressed immediately,
6:17 pm
long term consequences. i mean, it's been a very significant, devastated and quick. thank you so much for your time. i know you are, you are incredibly busy there that assert flavio silvio a global network later for the w h o emergency medical team. thank you so much for joining us. we'll away from the towns and cities small villages and took here have been flattened. stephanie deca traveled to chuck mark in the province of cassi on tip. their destruction to the small village of checkmark is absolute. the earthquake hasn't spared a single home here. the chief of the village takes us to what's left of his house. he says he can't believe he made it out alive, burn tree up, up willows, amber, my wife and i were to sleep. we don't know what happened to us. how we woke up when i tried to go outside. i got injured on my head. that was enough, we were terrified the earthquake through me. it was very hard and it made me lose my mind from all the incredibly i no one lost their lives here. but just as large
6:18 pm
parts of so many towns and cities. this village, too, will need to be completely rebuilt in another village, farther up the mountain, even the dead have been disturbed. the grave shifted as the earth cracked. if you look at the ground in this cemetery, you can see where the earthquake has disturbed all the bricks. and then over here, it has literally pushed a grave out of the ground and then leaving absolutely no doubt as to the power of mother nature. the violence was with which it split the earth. yes. used to be 5 meters deep, but emergency services have filled it back and checkmark, this village tells us they thought it was the last day of the world. kedusha mar them earlier shown that i never felt an earthquake like this before. nobody else. i asked either, 1st there was a terrifying sound. we felt
6:19 pm
a huge pressure. the land kept moving. i was convinced no one was alive any more. it felt never ending. it was so strong. they tell us, help came on the 2nd day. now they sleep intense, provided by turkey's disaster agency set up inside the village. no one intends to leave here. as we finish filming a few villages are removing what they can from their broken homes, before they will be demolished. they are determined to rebuild. they tell us as soon as possible, stephanie decker al jazeera chuck mock village in south eastern to kia incredible rescues are still being reported. though efforts are winding down. a teenage girl has been pulled from beneath the rubble in caramel marsh. she had been stuck there for 10 days, or bernard smith, the joins us live from karima mirage. and as well as that remarkable rescue, can you tell us what else you have been seeing there to day burners?
6:20 pm
tom? yes, that that's a very tiny little bit of in good news in what is a very dark corner of turkey at the moment, 17 year old woman, old live from the rubble here in car ma mirage. the at the center of the quake. and we've been looking to day a why many buildings foul, another building stayed up. those behind, miserable behind me is the remains of apartment blocks that just crumbled within an architect. tell the 10 to 15 seconds of the quake started leading those in p. the people inside had no chance at all, but across the street amidst the rubble. there are other apart billings like that one up there behind me. that as you can see, still standing now it is gonna have to be pulled down eventually. but the point is it stayed up long enough that the people inside it were able to escape and nobody was killed. that the difference is the buildings that collapsed were built before $999.00. and that one and others like it were built after $999.00,
6:21 pm
when there was another major quake in turkey, which prompted the introduction of new rules and regulations, strengthening the buildings for what is compounded the damage and the death and destruction is that even buildings built after $999.00, many of them were granted, amnesty is if they failed to come up to scratch, this was often done before elections. and instead of having to build the buildings, been the buildings up to standard. people paid a fine and that was paid to the ministry of environment instead of having to build, bring their buildings up to standard architects. we've been speaking to here. they said what they wanted to do that building behind me is the architects union office . it's low rise on what they wanted to do. they told the council about 3 years before this quakes, they want to knock down. they said all these pre 1999 buildings should be destroyed and rebuilt to new or low rise standards. when the building is low, arise is more integrated with the ground. and then what all is more able to
6:22 pm
withstand the shaking and the oscillation. the quake causes but these buildings weren't evacuated, it means moving thousands and thousands of people or hundreds of buildings and hundreds of businesses. so the buildings were left as they were. and they collapsed, as i say, very, very quickly. chamber of architects is angry and frustrated because they say that this death and destruction was easily avoided zone in day. thank you so much, bernard, for that update. when nato secretary general gen stilton burge is in, took here to discuss its role in providing support after the earthquakes. he's held a media briefing with the turkish foreign minister in ankara and explained how nato members responded. the day off to the earthquake, nato's de source to response center issued an immediate request for assistance to all naval allies and partners. since then, thousands of emergency response personnel have been deployed to tokyo to support
6:23 pm
the reef efforts, including with search and rescue teams, firefighters, medical personnel, and so mc experts. ah, 2 other news now, the head of the wagner mercenary group, fighting alongside the russian military in ukraine, is planning authorities in moscow for slow progress and the war. he of guinea, priggish, and told reporters that russia's struggle to capture more territory as being fueled by a monstrous bureaucracy. he added, it could take months to capture the ukrainian town of buck moot. but he crushed him among the advances proceeding slower than what we white. why is the advance not fast enough? i think we could have taken control of back moved by the new year if we had not been hindered by monstrous military bureaucracy and obstacles created on a daily basis. we samuel romani is an associate fellow at the royal united services
6:24 pm
institute and also of the book putin's war on ukraine. russia's campaign for political counter revolution. he joins us live from oxford. thank you very much for being on al jazeera fissile. let's start with the progression statement, basically, blaming moscow for him during the fight. what. what do you make of that? why it's very surprising that promotion would lash out at the military bureaucracy in this manner. he's been launching a shadow conflict against the defense minister survey. shy, go and he's back to the war in syria. he's back to 2016. as really escalated over the past year with him going public is the owner of the water group and russia military having sent back after sent back. so i think that this is totally aligned with his public persona over the course the past few years. so this is basically covering his own back for wagner failure. i think it probably is because the water grips assembled an army of 50000 troops, 40000 prisoners, 10000 mercenaries,
6:25 pm
and all they have to show for it. excited heavy casualties is a takeover of cylinder and back food. obviously was that increasingly important for the russian campaign because it gave them a critical victory. danielle, as well as access to railways and logistics. and even though precocious try to frame and refrain brushes, goals as not necessarily being to capturing the city, but creating a stalemate, that glad ukrainian forces i was up in the death of ukrainian territorial defense forces are a lead core. that kid, that narrative is not really that convincing, because russia wants victories and dynamics can propose just not delivering them as losing heavy casualties in the process. you know what progressions previously accused the russian military of attempting to steal victories from wagner. i mean, he obviously has a very fictitious relationship with russian military commanders. how does that help and the fight for the russians? well the thing is, it cuts both ways because it is a large section of the nationalist and. busy conservative that nationalists inside russia may be inclined to support the war on telegram out the information channels
6:26 pm
. or you can participate in the words combatants where very, very frustrated with the leadership and survey shy, give and valid gramma. so that has been useful in some ways for larger group recruitment and raising promotions profile or the bench a politician should eventually design for political party. or should he get involved in the process. but it also cuts the other way because he's rank of so many members of the russian defense industry and the crown line as well as regional governors. i think he's recognizing the fact off and he's got a coalition against them as now aimed at reading in his power. and bernoulli example of this with this loan servicer, they can refer a general for arch enemy value, grandma and the most recent is the russian defense industry. taking over from wagner as a recruiter prisoners which means that winders manpower is going to keep decreasing rather than increasing in the months that he will. he also said that a wagner was not going to be a tapping prisons and russia to fill its ranks and, and even wound the impact that they would have an impact on the fighting. i mean,
6:27 pm
what does that mean for russia's chances? and bach mote i think that the out cases in back food were heavily related to manpower. there mendoza priority. so conscripts and prisoners, it wasn't necessary already of logistics or training or even that matter equipment . i mean, numerically, they may have more to learn fire, but ukraine is getting neat at last, artillery coming to the front lines. so it was really a question of overwhelming manpower and accepting heavy casual they do to achieve victory. and without this a me that the russian ministry defenses, preserves and conscripts in the russian military proper want to play a more important role. so promotion, mike, that ultimately c i victory and back move by victory. back really that was not being driven by longer. i've driven by the russian military, and that really isn't very good for his own personal ambitions. ok. what does that mean for the board? why to context? well i think that obviously if our promotion is sideline, relatively brown,
6:28 pm
from the command structure and from the yeah, is after a potential that dream back mode a doesn't mean essential ization at the command. so valley drives them out. but now the commander, the armed forces, as well as basically having experience in tank war 1st involved in the artillery making decisions, as well as basically being the head of that is having a problem to roll with my general sad. so that might lead to a more of a coordinated guy strategy. so high level commanders, low level commanders, the ability to communicate more effectively, a command is centralized. but grandma has proven it least in the 1st year, the war to struggle to manage a local battalions and local military districts. so it might lead to, i socialization that improve the effectiveness of the war, or might leave just more the same, can be unable to really exert his authority and his teacher authority over the people on the ground. so it's really unclear at this point. well huh. okay, thank you so much. we'll have to leave it there. that is a samuel romani associate fellow at the royal united services institute. thank you . thank you very much. or thousands of retired people in the chinese cities of
6:29 pm
hon. and dolly on has protested against a plan to accompany medical benefits. many local governments are short of funds, partly because of covered maintain restrictions. katrina, you reports from beijing, thousands of retired men and women stand at the gates of one's junction park. their demonstrating against changes to their provinces, health insurance policy, facing off with police, one man chanted down with the reactionary government. others sang a communist protest. so the international starting this month, people here will receive about $25.00 less in medical benefits each month. that's a significant blow to those already struggling to get by wellness, any more thought issue. now finally, our citizens have woken up, says the man filming this video, it's the 2nd part has to take place and who hunt this week? under a new pilot program,

you're watching l g 0 reminder about top stories. the sour health services in northwest syria close to collapse. hospitals were already struggling to provide here after years of war. now they're unable to cope with the scale of injuries from the earthquakes. affairs growing their diseases may spread in syria, as people struggle to survive low temperatures. the world health organization says it's concerned about the condition of health facilities in the region. and a 17 year old girl has been called alive from under rubble and caravan marsh. she survived for almost 250 hours after the earthquakes fit for the search to find a success of his scotlands. first minister nicholas sturgeon has begun. sturgeon resigned on wednesday, after more than 8 years and the job. the scottish national party is meeting to discuss the roles for the leadership rice. the shock resignation has also prompted
6:36 pm
calls for the party to postpone a conference aimed at reviving its push for independence, but will reach helen's as live and scotlands capital for us. and that worry. is this a tricky moment for nicholas sturgeon, scottish national party? yeah, i think the s n p at the moment is at a crossroads with 2 tricky and links decisions that it has to make. the 1st of course is who is going to replace stickler stature. at a dominance politician, someone who has left will leave very big shoes to fill. the seconds is what's the countries, what's the party strategy going to be? what's the f m p strategy for moving towards a goal of independence? now there is going to be a meeting of the executive of the s n p later on tonight to make sure of all the rules for choosing sturgeon successor. but there are growing calls within the party
6:37 pm
to postpone that special conference that was supposed to be held later in march to choose that strategy for independence. the problem for the s and p basically is that the supreme court in november shut the door on a 2nd referendum without the explicit go ahead of the u. k. governments. now that 1st referendum in 2014, which the independence movement last was supposed to be a once in a lifetime event inside the u. k. government isn't very minded to grant a 2nd one. so sterns response that was to say, look ok, what we're going to do is we're going to make the next general election, a kind of de facto independence referendum. the problem big of that was not very popular with much of a party who thought it was a bit to devise if i wouldn't go down well with the electorate. so, defeating in a moment, among many of the senior members of the s and p is to lead a new leader, choose the new strategy for independence going forward,
6:38 pm
which will take some time. again, how could her departure change politics and the u. k. as a whole well, excuse me, one of the most able politicians on the british seen for the best part of a decades. she's a gift, a communicator, and i think both labor and the conservatives will be very pleased to see the back of her. she's been affording the sky for a succession, conservative prime ministers, but also her scottish national party has basically locked labor out of scotland for a number of years now. scott room was a part of the u. k. that labor had previously thought it could rely on as being a sure thing. so i think labor perhaps have more to gain from access to conserve saves. and certainly if the s and p becomes a week party labor will have more to gain because it will give them a chance to regain. that's how hold in scotland. and if they can do that,
6:39 pm
