over a decade, the war we examined the global power games of president bush out on the side. we believe assad the simply carrying out iranian orders. what keeps you awake at night when your reason that could effect any human eyesight, master of chaos on al jazeera, the latest news as it breaks. this is just a small example of extraordinary humanitarian challenge facing the turkish old bar . it is now the scene is being repeated across this region with detailed covering light 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 balloon spotted over rom and white a. ah, ah

ah. hello until mccrae. this is the news. how alive from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes to little to light as age reaches syria with quite victims in the war torn country, say they feel for gossip. the major task to rebuild thousands of homes reduced to rubble. we report from a remote turkish village. that's been completely flattered. you look at the ground in the 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 divisions and russia. the head of the wagner masonry group says a monstrous bureaucracy is slowing. its military effects and anger and chaos and nigeria of a lack of new bank notes. the government extends a deadline to turn an old one. and i sort of winning return for formal. we'll move

on tennis by color, sal kara, after more than 3 months out of an injury, the spiny it is back in action at the origin, sienna, ah, and we begin this use alan takia and syria, where rescue if it's a winding up after last week, is devastating earthquakes, the united nations is calling for more. i'd money to be delivered to the countries . the disaster has already claims nearly 42000 lives and death tolls are expected to rise as recovery if it's continued. we have a team of correspondence across the region covering this disaster. russel sir that begins our coverage from the syrian town of gin. doris. this people are the residence of generous in northwest syria. they have 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 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 aid 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 at the international community has forgotten them. they said they was, is not hurt. many of the relatives have stayed on the robles for these 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 were, syria has been bombed heavily by the regime over the course of 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 died while the blood was coming out of his his mouth and the father had to witness death 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

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. and other man told me in his historian, he has lost his family as well. he said that when he arrived to the hospital, who 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. yes about his daughter. the doctor says she's also dad. and he has gabbard, his son, a doctor, so i told him he's also dead. 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 drink tied to the night time. it's freezing cold, and every single drop of the 8 can help them to survive or

medical facilities all really fragile. after years of war in syria and now close to collapse. so hot 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 face short addition, but this is not new. but now many incubate is a damage, as well as other equipment that we need to treat the children. how many children were affected by the powerful earthquakes where russia was among those who survived, but he's still in shock. i was asleep when it happened for lapse. my brother and i have a clap under lumber for 3 days before they brought us to hospital. international

agencies say they are facing a catastrophic situation in the north, where limited access to aid has complicated efforts to handle the aftermath of the 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 summers now william during the 1st 2 days in hospital, i didn't receive any treatment. if 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 a scaled up response. after the syrian government approved the opening of 8 corridors. 4000000 people in the north relied on aid before the latest disaster, and the reality is 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. well, the u. n. is appealing for emergency funding. it has long been working with a shortage of funds in what many describe a forgotten conflict. the earthquakes destroyed already crumbling infrastructure. janelle only island lebanon. we moved to italy 3 years ago, but we knew the building was not structurally sound, but we had no other choice. now engineers who told us that we can return to our home album. now we are homeless. the challenge now is to care for the living, who've already endured 12 years of war. then a footer l. shahita. incredible rescues are still being reported though. if it's are winding down. a teenage girl has been pulled from beneath the rubble in the turkish city of caramel mirage. she had been stuck there for 10 days across to a kia more than 50000 buildings had been destroyed or heavily damaged. the u. s.

financial firm estimates damage at $25000000000.00. let's go to anchor and now to speak with a cinema casino who's at the turkish disaster management agency. so what's the latest information you've been able to gather from their well, with so much the number is i have asked the officials in the disaster management agency, why the numbers are not changing that much recently. and they were asked to me was, it's not because the work is slow, slowed down, but if there were so many a forces on the ground, so many a cruise on the ground. but the acceleration of the older worried has slowed down because and now there are less a people to rescue and plus said they are trying to move the rebels if the inspection of the building is finished or if the rescue operation is finished in one place, then immediately they try to pull the wreckage out,

pulled it every out to open space. this is what they answered me, but of course ah, they are saying that they have reached the maximum numbers right now in terms of crew capacity and the numbers off they have of machines and air carriers, et cetera, are not changing on the ground right now. that's why we are having is slow down in a, in a, in a receiving information i have from the agency. but they said, these are all technical. besides that the work is continuing in some places. a search and rescue operation has been complete in small places, and that's why they are preparing for new construction as the turkish president. today's they go said that, add to it. they will be starting constructs that building new homes for, for the people out there. as of the end of february, so i as far as we understand from the people on the ground and from the authorities

and the capital on korea, they have speed up the process despite the fact that the, the government authorities, the rescue teams a were late on the ground and in the 1st 2 days of this earthquake or citizens were comp any opposition. it was accusing the government. now they have dead that they have the enough or they have enough resources. and nationally and internationally, as many aid organizations are in the field. and dozens of countries are helping out to key and a, we know, nato, you know, a european union and many friends. their neighbor countries are trying to have to care to provide shelters or the work is in place. but of course, her post wreckage post every maybe we can call it a process is the most important thing because maybe they will need to move to cities. thou, much bigger work. a wait for the turkish authorities, because after the buddies or people are pulled out or from the

a from the devry of those buildings and that they will need to work and security social or g urban planning. in order not to make the same mistakes. and to avoid any similar losses in a future possible earthquake. certainly a huge amount of work to come. thank you so much. and im costello, were millions of people have been displaced and are now living in camps completely dependent on aid. acid bag has more from ottoman. oh wait a moment of happiness and play amid the destruction they've written in. these children now live in the captain of the yeoman in south eastern tortilla and are being helped by volunteers. we came here to provide psychological 1st aid to the children and to help them return to the normality of ly. are i missed to make the children laugh because we say if one child laughs, the whole world laughs. barbara, more than 5000 people live here, providing food, water,

and shelter for them has been a combined effort. mammoth is a businessman, who came to help this. this is a part of our country. we know they need both physical and financial help. we came from 1200 kilometers away. we've been here for 8 days. we live like them. we'd like them. we sleep in our cars and temps. among the tents that make up this camp, they burn whatever they can to keep warm in the freezing temperatures and they're grateful for the help they've received. then each week i'm a very big areas affected. a lot is needed and we need every once a bought from across the country. people are helping children are breaking their piggy banks and giving us money. some have a little money, but they buy medicine and send it to us that he shows us his tent. some have heating, some don't. he says some have mattresses, some don't across the city. another group of volunteers has opened

a pharmacy. they travel from istanbul more than 1200 kilometers away. chil shouldn't reside dell. i took a annual leave to come here. we bought some medicine ourselves. some were donated to us. this disaster has shown how people of this country are not only united in their grief, but also the determination to help each other rescue operations. and now shifting to cleaning up the city and attention has turned to those in need. it's a challenge that will remain for the foreseeable future, but people across the country a helped him in the effort. as i beg, i'll jazeera at the yeoman. so then dorothea led scared the latest out of anti care . now natasha name is there and natasha, the reality must be sitting and for many there. and so the focus now slowly turning to the psychological impact this disaster is having were in i'm takia, as you said at a park that's been transformed into

a tent city in antalya. it more than 13000 buildings have been demolished or damaged. the city in short has been decimated, and had tie province, has also suffered greatly during this earthquake, 14000 of the more than 36000 people who have died were from a ty province. we spoke to a man inside the tent city earlier today and he says, i see no hope for the future. he said he stepped one foot out of his house. oh, on february 6th his house collapsed, but his mother was so not so lucky. he says that he was forced because there was no search and rescue crews around at the time to dig her out of the rubble. there are thousands and thousands of stories just like that. we followed to clinical psychologist around today there with the turkish red crescent and they're trying to

help people begin to make sense of this collective trauma that is going to be felt across southern turkey. a clinical psychologist say during a disaster like this, their 1st priority is to help restore a sense of safety. make sure that people have shelter. there is still a critical shortage of shelter in southern tortilla. sometimes it's giving people a blanket or a hot cup of coffee and then it's settling in and just listening. we watch the clinical psychologists offer hugs pats on the backs. they often play with children . as for children were told they're being overlooked, and that's not uncommon in a situation like this that they've experienced, seen and heard things that no child should have to experience. and the clinical psychologist says, if they don't get the mental health services they need, that could emerge as a bigger them as they grow. there are lots of elderly people who have been displaced and for them. this is especially unsettling. they've lived in homes in

their cities for a lifetime, and now that familiarity the comfort of that familiarity has been stripped away from them. they are many of them have chronic conditions and they don't have access to those medications. long term. these clinical psychologists tell us p t s d could be a big issue in turkish society. a, you should be working with the colleague from here, from the field in use of the, you know, shoot me, jury share emotions with them. you know, you both share your emotions and bullets worked together. so it means basically the so sites of a work and i've even very sick the quarter, a 1000000 almost quarter of a 1000000 people here on the ground, helping with the recovery and relief effort are also facing challenging conditions and may experience trauma as well. we spoke to the president of the turkish red

crescent. earlier this week he says that it's capacity to help meet the mental needs of turks going forward is quote, humble when you consider the enormous need not only in the weeks, but in the months and years to come. and that is why sustained international aid will be vital and certainly as thank you so much, that is natasha and i'm for us then. we'll to talk about the challenges survive as a facing lead. speak to marina birch who is in adina. marino, one of the biggest issues for authorities and survivors where you are. aah! here in the ad and a camp, one of the cam, sir, here is a 1500 people, mostly from adena, from the buildings that have collapsed or from buildings that i did to destroy it, but not completely. so they're afraid to stay in their homes. they are afraid

of the after shots. that's why they are choosing to say, here in the camp, in this stance on the cold concrete, i spent the day a few hours with these people and they told me that it's a pretty cool the in denied to in the evening when there's no, there's no sun, they have some kind of mattresses, but still it's a very cold and they don't know how long or will they and a sand this kind of situation. now it says the 11 safe, but the 2nd issue is a sanitary issue. some are women that i've talked to talk to to, they said that they have only 2 functional toilets and that everything is dirty. they constantly disinfect their hands a and they're trying to be a keep themselves safe from diseases being heard about the stomach virus. so that

is a cruising around and they're coming from these epicenter cities and they are very, very scared for their, their health because they know they won't leave this, sir, please, a very soon. so i think the biggest, the, the, the biggest issue for these authorities here is to keep these people healthy to keep them safe and to keep them calm because their situation is going to last for some time more. it certainly is. thank you so much. that is emory never coach for us in abner. away from the towns and cities, small villages and to kia, have been flattened, 50 ticket, travel to chalk, mark in the province of guffy on tip. the destruction to the small village of chuck mac 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. up with somebody. my wife and i were

asleep. we don't know what happened to us. how we woke up when i tried to go outside. i got injured on my head is enough. we were terrified the earthquake through me. it was very hard. it made me lose my mind from all the incredibly, no one lost their lives here. but just as large parts of so many towns and cities, this village too, will need to be completely rebuilt in another village. further 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. this used to be 5

meters deep, but emergency services have filled it back in checkmark. this village tells us they thought it was the last day of the world teacher showing 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 a huge pressure. the land kept moving. i was convinced. no one was alive any more. it felt neverending, 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, 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, checkmark village in south eastern to kia the united nations has launched an appeal for $1000000000.00 an aid to help victims and took here. funds will be used to

assist the survivors with vital support over the next 3 months. the secretary general said that your kia is home to the largest number of refugees in the world, and is shown enormous generosity to its syrian neighbors for years. and now is the time for the world to support the people of turkey, just so as they have stood in solidarity with others seeking assistance. the needs, as you can imagine, are enormous. the secretary journals said, and people are suffering. there is no time to lose. let's bring in chris and to let me who's at the united nations headquarters in new york, chris and the union's asking for $1000000000.00 for turkey. that's almost that it's more than twice what they ask for syria. why the difference? yeah. $1000000000.00 that's to help over 3 months for the relief efforts in turkey versus almost $400000000.00 in syria for the same amount of time about the same

amount of people. both appeals are designed to help the most vulnerable a victims of the earthquake in those societies. but the united nations points out that in the case of syria, they had a pre existing appeal for funds carried over from last year. they also had $50000000.00 in emergency funds released in the days mediately following the earthquake and pre existing un staff in syria. whereas inter kiya, the un, is supporting the government response in syria. the hardest hit areas are places where the government is not in control and there is no government response. so obviously in both places the needs are massive. now talking about shaqia, we're talking about more than 35000 people, dead, 47000 buildings, destroyed and, and that's left children elderly homeless in

a very difficult weather environment. it's winter, it's cold. so in turkey of the un, we'll be using this money to scale up the humanitarian response, including for some $1700000.00 refugees who were in the impacted area there. they'll be using that to get food and shelter, security water, all the basic needs covered for those most vulnerable people. but it's a daunting task. and we're talking about a $1000000000.00 that is just expected to last upset that saudi settle, those needs over only 3 months. so a big task in both areas for the un to deal with daunting and day. thank you so much. that is a kristen silly me for us at the you in ah, the head of the wagner mercenary group,

fighting alongside the russian military and ukraine, is blaming authorities in moscow. the slow progress of the pool, your guinea priggish, and told reporters that russia's struggle to capture more territory is being fueled by a monstrous bureaucracy. he added, it could take months to capture the ukrainian town of buck mote. but he crushed them among the advances proceeding. slower than what we want, why is the advance not fast enough? i think we could have taken control of back moot by the new year if we had not been hindered by monstrous military bureaucracy and obstacles created on a daily basis. a samuel romani as an associate fellow at the royal united services institute. he says it's not the 1st time priggish and has criticized russia's military leadership. while he was 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 sort of a show you a days back to the war in syria dispatch 2016 and really escalated over the past

year with him going public is the owner of the water grip and rushes military having stepped back after sent back. so i think that this is totally aligned with his public persona. over the course of the last few years, the water grip assembled an army of 50000 troops, 40000 prisoners, and 10000 mercenaries. and all they have to show for its been kind of heavy casualties, is the takeover of soda and back food obviously, was that increasingly important for the russian campaign because it gave them a critical victory. and on the ask, as well as access to railways and logistics, and even though pre goshen is try to frame and reframe brushes, goals as not necessarily being to capturing the city, but creating a stalemate that glad you creating forces. i result from the death of ukrainian turtle defense forces are a lead core. that kid, that narrative is not really that convincing, because russia wants victories and dynamics can promotions just not delivering them as losing heavy casualties in the process of thousands of retired people in the chinese cities of ru hahn and dolly on has protested against a plan to catch the 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. they're demonstrating against changes to their provinces, health insurance policy, facing off with police, one man chanted down, but 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 mormonism with irish and 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, the government is diverting funds from personal accounts to subsidize a wide range of hospital treatments. the central chinese city was the epicenter of the corona virus outbreak. in december 2019. in 2020. the 11000000 people living

here were confined to their homes and debating strict 0 corporate policy. almost 3 years of mass testing and quarantine has depleted local government budgets. china is also under pressure to show up the health care system for it's rapidly aging population. we have a shrinking population, active working population that is trying to support this massive over 65 population. and local governments are heavily in debt. they have been on cobra. it is one part of it, but there are many other parts to it too. and so local government, so scrambling to try to understand how to sustainably move forward. oh, this rash oh, of public defiance comes months after historic nationwide purchase that preceded bathing ending it's 0 curve. it measures internet sensors have deleted videos like

these from chinese social media. and state media has called on people to be patient while they adapt to the new policy. these photos are being held weeks. the photon is top officials gather for the most important political music of the year, the national people's congress. a new leadership team will be unveiled under president susan ping, and the government is under pressure to con, any public discontent over its health policies? katrina, you are the 0. beijing was still ahead on elders her outrage and controversy all the why? the israeli military, his uprooted more than a 1000 olive trees from occupied palestinian land. plus, i'm rob rentals at the world agriculture at rowen to worry california will show you how new technologies are revolutionizing forming the lp, the hungry land. and in sport, england's cricketers are in a strong position of to day one of the 1st test against new zealand.

ah ha, the weather is looking a little cool and breezy across the middle east at the moment. certainly across the raven peninsula, down towards the gulf, temperatures here and go harder. route 23 celsius. a little bit of a shemelle to setting in here that it doesn't sand, certainly something to watch out for chance of some wet weather, just on the other side of the waters there, into around pushing up towards some snowy weather. up toward sir good parts of afghanistan, we've had some snow problems recently in turkmenistan that is set to continue brightest guys to come back in behind notice temperatures here in doha, struggling to get to 20 celsius. so it will been a little fresher, over the next few days, may more tab, which is on the rise across the care, northern parts of syria, just around the quake. so lossy clear skies,

good deal of sunshine overnight, frost, not quite as intense as we go on through the coming days. i am pleased to say because he had temperatures trying to push up towards double figures here. so that son of an improvement in the weather, dry across a good part of northern africa. but i, which was a north west. we have got some rather heavy rain spilling and across morocco snow over the atlas mountains and with the wet weather. also pushing its way into that western side of algeria, south of that, hamilton lifting dust and sand. ah . the scores of afghans had fled their homeland since the taliban take over. in a special 2 part report, one on one east follows to women, determined to build new lives far from home. on al jazeera, russia's war em, ukraine has dominated. well, he's for the past 12 months. devastating for those in the line of fire or

directly impact and it has strengthened global alliances and deepens, divisions with far reaching effects on the lives of millions of people. worldwide in a week could special coverage al jazeera explored every aspect of the conflict. the human, the political and the economic and the possibilities of resolution. ukraine war. one here on, on out there. lou . ah,

be watching al jazeera reminder of our top stories, the sour health services in northwest syria close to collapse. hospitals were already struggling to provide care after years of war. now they're unable to cope with the scale of injuries from the earthquakes. affairs are growing that diseases may spread and 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 pulled alive from under rosalyn caramel marsh. she survived for almost 250 hours after the earthquakes. his my jerry as president, has approved a 60 day extension for people to turn in old bank notes. it's part of a plan to replace the country's currency. the narrow with redesigned ones. the old currency was supposed to have been replaced by saturday, but some banks failed to hand out enough money triggering widespread protests. our

managers has more from my degree in nigeria. president obama to bahati speak if interpreted widely, a different attempt to start a pool room writers. over the past few days. we've seen angry protest just on the speech of nigeria angry about the shortage of new night. i noticed like relation as well as the refusal of some commercial bank to swap the old car is when you watch, at least in social media, we've seen one bank set on fire by angry customers who say the officials in the bank of refuse to open up their bank offer services to them to exchange their current says, now over the last few months when this currency swap thing came into effect, we've seen a lot of disruption to the economy. the economy is dependent on the informal sector . 65 percent of the economy is run by this particular sector, and this is a country wide 40 percent of the population. if bank in fact now get us one of the

co 5, i'm bank campus in the world with large population not having access to financial services, financial services, offered by the bank. now the new moon, if such that only the old 200 and i don't know if legal tender they 501000 not. no, we don't accept at, at the central bank offices across the country. i even have that any customer taking huge amount of money to that buy, to swap for the new cut us. it would have to explain how we got the money in the public. because in bogan is a political analyst, he says the situation is fueling a sense of anger against the government. it's been a terrible experience in the country. you know, most people that really want to get the money from the bank, the terrible situation. you can see what the big company in about, you know, we don't obviously, we're buy resorted to destroy bank because they felt that

the government is not helping them to get their own money. and you know, the cost trends and the situation is so, but to the extent that people are trying to see what they can do, because they didn't know what to do, it decided to get to the bank to start bonded bands and doing all kinds of negativity, all because the prompt and imagined the country we're by, we are free with money. we spend money to where we want then on the saudi. we have been informed that because we want to redesign our currencies that we won't be able to access to our money anymore. people comply, they take the money for the best, but they can't get the new currency. so it's a, it's a weight to r g. a good idea. protesters in lebanon have attacked banks as the

local currency hit record, low, a mob of about 50 people sit fired and ransacked facilities in beirut, forcing road closures across the city. the lebanese pound is trading at about $80000.00 to the dollar. it was at 60000 at the start of the month was really soldiers have removed more than 1000 olive trees planted by settlers on occupied palestinian land following a high court order. as saw the hardest reports from the occupied with bank. it's caused a lot of controversy. freshly dug up soil and more than a 1000 olive trees are removed by the israeli forces here on occupied palestinian land in the west bank under israeli high court ruling. because all of the olive trees that were planted here were planted by israeli settlers illegally. now, this olive grove here has caused absolute outrage, the removal of these trees amongst the right wing politicians within the israeli

coalition government. but this situation here highlights simmering pensions within the government that have been bubbling underneath the surface for the last few weeks. you have the national security minister, it's something i've been given who is accused the defense minister of bringing in border police here to remove these trees. something he says comes on the have your restriction. so the conversation here now is about who controls what, especially when it come to occupied west bank. you also have the finance minister, smart church that has also told the finance minister he can quit his job because it's up to him to decide what happened with in the west bank in terms of the expansion of illegal settlements. we're seeing a coalition government here that is rapidly fast tracking measures to make these illegal settlements bigger and as fast as they possibly can. all of this just days before judicial reform plans are being voted on on monday reforms that many israeli
