12:02 am
ah, the united nations has appealed for a $1000000000.00 to cover immune humanitarian needs and turkey following last week's of quake. that's on top of the $400000000.00 appeal for quake affected regions in syria. that the relief effort has been delayed by the last thing, legacy of civil war opposition held areas in series, northwest of only seen a trickle of a delivered so far and medical facilities are on the brink of collapse in the turkish province of got home on marsha, a teenage girl was pulled alive from the rumble 10 days after the initial earthquake. but such rescues have become increasingly where thousands of survivors are living in make shift camps with limited basic facilities. that's raising fears of disease. more than 42000 people are now known to have died,
12:03 am
but authorities have not yet announced the number of people missing. so we have a team of correspondence covering a story. stephanie deka is in charge luck. i said bag is an idea on and attach. a good name is an i'm takia. begins us with this report from russell. sergio engender is in syria. this people are the residence of gender, us in north west, 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're
12:04 am
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 feel that 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 not 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, and the tragedy is still unfolding here and the kids many of them,
12:05 am
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 aid is significantly important because it's winter and particularly durance tied to the night time. it's freezing cold, and every single drop of the 8 can help them to survive or aid is starting to reach survivors in serious rebel held areas. but there's been criticism about how long it's taken to negotiate the opening of those border crossings. world health organization says it's particularly concerned about people in northwestern syria medical facilities are already fragile from years of war and close to collapse. they. honda reports here in northwest celia medical south have little choice, but to use damaged incubators. last week's earthquakes and southern turkey here hit this region hard medical facilities and this opposition controlled enclave were
12:06 am
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 incubators, damage as well as other equipment that we need to treat the children. many children were effected 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 will clap under the number 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
12:07 am
northwest where it says people have been through hell so much 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 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 appealing for emergency funding and has long been working with a shortage of funds in what 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. what we had no choice. now
12:08 am
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. and while search crews continue to dig through the ruins, we're still hearing stories of miraculous survival and come on marsh a 17 year old girl was pulled alive from beneath the rumble. she'd been trapped for 10 days, while several people also found alive on wednesday. a number of rescues has been decreasing significantly were health work because it's saying that many earthquake victims and now suffering post traumatic stress disorder and panic attacks are poor natasha. her name has been speaking to psychologists and untouched. yeah. we follow to clinical psychologist around today. there with the turkish red crescent and
12:09 am
they're trying to help people begin to make sense of this collective trauma that is going to be felt across southern turkey. the 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 turkey. yeah. sometimes it's giving people a blanket or a hot cup of coffee and then it's settling in and just listening. we watched the clinical psychologist 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 problem as they grow way of quakes or facing the area, almost the size of person. millions of people have been displaced in thousands and
12:10 am
now living in camps completely dependent on aid as had been visited account in the southern tucker city of a d. m. o me a moment of happiness and play amid the destruction they've written with these children now live in the captain of the yemen in southeastern tortilla, and are being helped by volunteers. we came here to provide psychological 1st day to the children and to help them return to the normality of life. are i missed to make the children laugh because we say, if one child laughs, the whole world last father, 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 i days. we live like them. we'd like
12:11 am
them. we sleep in our cars and tents 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 got my very big areas affected. a lot is needed and we need every once aboard from across the country. people are helping one of the children are breaking their piggy banks and giving us money. some have a little money, but they buy medicine and send it to us. 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, he's like galle. 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
12:12 am
their grief, but also the determination to help each other rescue operations. and thus 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, i helped him in the effort. i said big i jazeera or the yeoman. so than that appear . so i spoke to las abil, i to he is a regional senior communications and media manager international rescue committee in gassy and tap. i asked him what the most urgently needs lie right now. what we need is, is funding international committee needs to step up and not filled the story and people once again and increase the funding because beneath our immense, even before the earthquake, we had over 4000000 people in northern virginia, almost 90 percent of them in need of assistance now you can imagine how the scale and how much the, the population going to be in need of a shelter of a place to,
12:13 am
to be protected from the elements from the weather, from snow health care. i mean dyers, he is currently responding. we have been taking house health care facilities and providing medical supplies, but we do need funding. we need a lot of funding to, to cover all these needs on the ground. that's in terms of health based of course, of these 2 basic items to water our of our crucial areas. a lack of clean and safe drinking water and sanitation on both sides of the border. but how concerned are you about the outbreak of disease in syria, particularly given that they don't have the, the medical supplies or capacity to be able to treat it. our concern is, is significant because again before this earthquake, the color outbreak just it was announced in october. so it wasn't too far long. and
12:14 am
even before the earthquake, it was we were calling for more support to cover these because again, we're talking about a population. northern chia where there's there's lack of assistance in general. people do not have all the basic idea that they need. some of them have been displaced over a dozen times during the this conflict. and the color was, was spreading at a fast pace at the beginning, then it's slowed down for a bit. but now with this current earthquake and the impact and the after effects that we're witnessing on the ground, our concern is huge because with health care system does that mean this? this made it and not strong enough to bear or to or to cover these needs. i mean, we, some of the hospital, our staff work in health or in the hospital. they told us that some of the people that are coming in, we just don't have the, the supplies to do, to support them or to treat them. not to mention colorado when comes to color are certainly the, the response needs a lot of escalation, a lot of support increase in funding and access, of course, extra for the,
12:15 am
for the population north. and we need to ensure that the system keeps coming in and flowing, so it can cover as many people as it can or away from the towns and cities. small villages and rural parts have took care, has been flattened. stephanie deca traveled to one village called chuck mac in the province of the ontario where residents are determined to rebuild as soon as possible. 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. bert reopen 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. there was enough. we were terrified the earthquake through me. it was very hot. john, it made me lose my mind. obama, me incredibly, i no one lost their lives here. but just as large parts of so many towns and cities,
12:16 am
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 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 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 on track mark this village or tells us they thought it was the last day of the world. kedusha mar them. oh yosh. on 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.
12:17 am
said it felt never ending. it was so strong. they tell us, help came on the 2nd day. now they sleep in tents 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 mac village in south eastern to kia later sector general eons told him back his current visiting the country to discuss its role in providing support after the earthquakes. he's been holding a media briefing with the turkish foreign minister maryland. jeff was so glue in ankara and explained how nato members are responding. the day off to the earthquake made those dissolves to response center issued an immediate request for
12:18 am
assistance to all night while laws on partners since then, thousands of emergency response personnel have been deployed to, to kia, to support the reef efforts, including with search and rescue teams. firefighters, medical personnel and seismic experts and some cassandra has more on the story now from ankara. he was here to express his condolences and so the solidarity of the nato alliance with true care, the 2nd largest, the army, it within the alliance. and ah, secretary general mentioned that that there will be an international bonner's conference in march. also, we heard that e u countries are also supporting a and working gone as to the honors conference to help add to the victims of the earthquake that have that shook to kia and as syria. and he mentioned that
12:19 am
a 1000 tens of thousands of shelters are being provided for other people in the earthquake areas, along with 10 cent or the tense are being carried by 8 carriers, which is a very important element in delivering the 8th, despite to kia, as is the 2nd largest nato and a has a very decent inventory. ah, since there are 10 cities affected more than 13 millions lives are directly affected by this earthquake, a, even at so many carriers are not enough. or there's much more filter bring you on this news out from london will be focusing on jerry, late for the program that the introduction of new bank notes could end up disrupting elections later this month. also, i'm rob reynolds, that the world agriculture expo into larry, california will show you how new technologies are revolutionizing forming to help feed the hungry clinton and in sport, a winning return for this former well,
12:20 am
number one, and you will be here with that story. ah, now us president joe biden says it 3 on identified objects shot down by fighter jet earlier. this month. did not appear to have been used for spying and war like connected to the 9 purposes in a speech on thursday. biden outlined a series of measures in government will take in order to confront these objects in the future. first, we will establish a better inventory of one man airborne object in space above the united states airspace and make sure that inventory is accessible and up to date. second, we'll implement further measures to improve our capacity to detect on man object objects in our airspace. 3rd,
12:21 am
will update the rules and regulations for launching and maintaining unmanned objects in the skies above the united states of america. and 4th. now my secretary state will lead an effort to help us stablish our global global common global norms in this largely unregulated space. and our white house correspondent, kimberly how kit was reporting on the story. under pressure, lawmakers. u. s. president joe biden spoke for the 1st time about those incidents involving the unidentified aerial objects. not only the chinese spy balloon, the military downed off the coast of the carolinas. but also those other 3 objects that were downed over alaska, canada, as well as lake huron, the president saying there's no evidence of a sudden increase in those objects. still the u. s. president laying out parameters or rules to deal with these objects in the future. in other words, so that they can be identified and determined whether or not they should be shot
12:22 am
down, or if they should be allowed to float across the united states. and whether or not the threats to civilian or military aircraft are indeed a valid or whether or not they are benign. now, in the case of these most recent 3 and an identified aerial objects, the president says they are benign. however, when it comes to the chinese spy balloon, there is still some debris that is being retrieved and in the case of all of the objects, in some cases, weather is hampering those efforts. now, when it comes to the chinese spy balloon incident, the u. s. president says he will be speaking to china's president, she in his words, to get to the bottom of this. what he does say though, is that the u. s. will continue to engage with china. what the united states wants . he says is competition, not conflict. that's why us diplomats will continue conversations with china in order to further that relationship the head of the russian state. back wagner,
12:23 am
merson, your group is blaming the military for slow gains in ukraine. he added it could take months to capture an eastern town. that's been the focus of its attacks. since late february cave is committed vos resources to holding the mining area of backward which is now surrounded. its lost ground, but they are still in control of most of the town. many of its $70000.00 residents have fled the fighting its capture would be a major symbolic way for russia. so the townhome little strategic value of the advance is proceeding slower than what we want. 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. meanwhile, present a barrier saying his country would join the war long side. russia if attacked. alexander, look shanker, made the comments while taking rec questions from foreign media or which was used
12:24 am
as a launching pad for the invasion last year and still host an undeclared number of russian troops. shanker so far avoided sending his own forces directly inside, which estimated to number between 60 and 70000 young, i am ready to fight alongside russia in only one case. that's if even one soldier with a weapon comes in our territory to kill my people, or russia and ukraine have conducted a prisoner's walk with each returning 101 people to the other side. one ukrainian was a civilian. bas ravi explains now from keith in perhaps the clearest sign that there remains some form of dialogue between russia and ukraine. we've seen another successful swap of prisoners of war between the 2 countries, both moscow and keith confirming that 101 p o w each have changed hands and
12:25 am
gone back to their respective countries. we've been hearing from moscow that those that have made it back into russian control territory are being flown to the capital for medical attention. keep the government here and keep also confirming that among those that have been released, 100 soldiers, one civilian, one deputy mayor from this up a richer region. and among the 100 soldiers, there are dozens who have returned from captivity with injuries that require medical attention. those include dozens of soldiers that fought in the battle for mario, pull the city under siege before it fell to russian hands. and they also include dozens of people that were parts of the hold out units in the as off steel plant. it also includes a troops that fought ukrainian soldiers that fought in future, her son and li mine. both sides are continuing to be motivated to
12:26 am
swap and exchange prisoners of war ongoing since the beginning of this conflict handfuls at a time. but for the 2nd time this month, we've seen a successful prisoner exchange involving $200.00 plus prisoners of swapping sides. in the 1st week of february, we saw more than $200.00 prisoners exchange in total. and now earlier today, another $200.00 plus exchange of p. o w's for ukraine. this is a war of attrition. it is one in which they are out numbered by russian. so every p o w that comes home is a cause for celebration. and for russia, terry observer say that countries knew been experiencing a much higher degree of casualties. so every p o w that returns home to russia keeps that needle for moving forward. and farmers from around the world are attending the well the agricultural expert in california looking at ways to sustain
12:27 am
a b increase food production and mitigate the impact of the war. and ukraine or conflict has caused gray shortages and impoverished countries around the world. despite the un broker deal to allow food shipments from ukraine's black sea port, it's also made the business of farming more precarious ukrainian grain exports this season a fallen 29 percent due to a small harvest and logistical difficulties caused by russia's invasion, fuel and fertilizer prices have sword causing supply chain bottlenecks. all of this is added to the pressure is faced by the agricultural industry, as farmers try to adapt to changing climate patton's at the same time. vowels or ports. now from the wild agricultural expert in california. the expo features giant tractors and combine harvesters and multi $1000000000.00 corporations that manufacture all sorts of farming equipment. not to mention a full line of brush shredders, new technologies are changing how farming is done,
12:28 am
where are really at the costs. while the revolution in agricultural technology and that's has a lot of implications for food and food production. this tractor is fully electric, carries multiple cameras and sensors and gathers data. a fleet of them can be operated autonomously without drivers, by a single farmer acting as a controller. farmers are essentially figuring out how to feed the was growing population at a time, and they have less resources. so we need to use less of these resources, but yet still produce more food than our before. so that is the challenge we all have and that's where technology has a role to play. and technology beast formerly believed can bridge that gap. the challenge to global agriculture is immense. right now there are 8000000000 people on earth, 345000000 of whom are considered acutely food insecure. by mid century,
12:29 am
the population will grow to about 10000000000. and global warming is threatening crop yields a nasa study projects world mays production will drop nearly a quarter by 2100 due to global heating, the u. s. world food organization estimates that by 2050 the world will have to increase its food production by 70 percent in order to feed an ever growing population. one way to close the gap is to farm and consume with less waste. right? now if we were to take away food waste and food losses, we would ride away increase of food production by about 30 percent. increased production, better technology, less waste, a merger of technology and farming to feed a hungry planet. rob reynolds al jazeera to larry california. with the news ally from london, much more still to bring you after

12:38 am
karen, john pierre said to the move, undermines a 2 state solution. we are deeply dismayed by israelis announcement that they will advance thousands of new settlements and retroactively legalize 9 outposts in the west bank that were, that were until now illegal under israeli law. the united states strongly opposes these unilateral measures which, which exacerbates tension, harm trust between the 2 parties and undermine the geographic viability of the 2 states. which solution during his recent trip to israel secretary blinking was clear that all parties should refrain from actions that heightened tensions and take us further away from peace. any soldiers of caden olive quiet from land in the occupied west bank after a ruling by these rarely high court. the trees planted by israeli settlers 15 years ago. and in 2021 palestinians who claimed the land petition the court to have the trees removed. the cases highlight attention was in benjamin netanyahu. government
12:39 am
which relies heavily on support from the far right. so if i write reports from the occupied, westbank freshly dug out 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, he highlights simmering tensions 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 for the police here to remove these trees. something he says comes on the have your
12:40 am
