desperate for help. earthquakes, victims in war torn syria say that been forgotten. we report from one of the worst hit aries. they had been displaced several times and now they are displeased again i'm united nations launch is a 1000000000 dollar appeal to help turkey you recover from its worst natural disaster. ah, hello, i'm darn. this is out. they are alive from dough also coming up. the head of rushes, wagner mercenary group, blames moscow's military bureaucracy, was slow games in the east of ukraine. and a new report on the cobit 19 pandemic highlights the threat posed by new variants of the virus. ah, we begin in turkey and syria where rescue efforts are winding up after last week's devastating earthquakes. the un as appealed for

a $1000000000.00 to cover immediate humanitarian needs in turkey. that's on top of the $400000000.00 appeal for quake affected regions in syria. will the relief effort. there has been delayed by the lasting legacy of civil war opposition held areas in serious north west. i've only seen a trickle of a delivered so far more than 42000 people are non to have died across both countries. well, we have a team of correspondence covering the disaster in turkey. yes, stephanie deka is in guardianship province. natasha. her name is in the ancient city of anne takia. bernard smith is in carmel brush. one of the epa centers of the earthquakes. acid bag is an ottoman, but across the border 1st in syria is wrestle set off. this people are the residence of gender us 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 of 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 feel that the international community has forgotten them. they said the worse is not hurt. many of the relatives have stayed on the robles 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 were,

syria has been bombed a 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, by while the blood was coming out of his his mouth and the father had to witness that. and just to me, there's 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, 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. her doctor sot 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 me. no

serious president, bashar allison says the road ahead is difficult. well, my son was you what, what we'll face in the upcoming months and years in terms of social challenges and economic challenges is no less important than what we faced in these 1st few days. while search crews continue to dig through the ruins, we're still hearing miraculous stories of survival in carmel mirage. a 17 year old girl was pulled alive from beneath the rebel. she'd been trapped a 10 days, or several people were found alive and turkey on wednesday. the number of rescues was dropped significantly. roman i'm a bit as if we have to get her away from this environment because of the effects of trauma when she doesn't have any important bone fractures. her brain functions are good, her chest area and all her organs are in good condition. but we want to get her to a better environment. lifecycle health worker say many earthquake victims and are suffering from post traumatic stress. and panic. attacks are correspondent natasha . her name hasn't speaking to psychologists in am takia. we follow 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. 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 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 problem as they grow a you should be working with colleagues from here, from the field in you should be, you know, shoot, need your cherry emotions with them, you know, you both share your emotions and bullets worked together. so it means basically the ssl sights of your work and the rubric from your saline is on the world health organization. he explained what's involved in the next stage of the recovery effort . the significant level of all of the structures. so what is it's important, today's ensuring access to the most vulnerable and our to reach populations, extending korea, the capacity to treat as i say before, all the emergency and drama trauma cases at the same time. and it's showing that they have a critic of mental m psychosocial support. 2 doors in neat with double choice, provided that sheep. this were medicines and supplies to say to treat the care with

all those. when did that incorporate access to emergency and then trauma care, as well as the surgical interventions. there's been the possibility to to move in to say they're the materials. there's been with our d g actually back welcome. they will see be to move supplies and personnel in the, in the attempt to scale up the provision of the services. so we are here, we talk about element of capability going, ability and the need clearly obvious kill ability. so scale up those, those services. so i think we are the stage now to increase the response to the next level. they reestablish the routine how services become a busy day. the next back of the response, the showing that those they are the exacerbation for example, for non communicable diseases in any other condition and access to those services.

well, there are concerns in southeast and turkey that the situation could worse and further floods. now threatened the area, stephanie decor report, some just outside the town of here. when the earthquake hit, it didn't only decimate cities, towns and villages. but it also moved mountains. a massive landslide happened here which caused huge rocks to crumble down the mountain blocking off the main road. now, work is underway. we're being told time is of the essence here because there is a river on the other side of this and also the snow. the heavy snow fall on this mountain is melting, causing pressure, and the water level to rise. the villagers are extremely concerned that this could break and that water could come down the mountain. so time as we are told is of the essence, that's why this work is happening and it's happening false. it is a dangerous area, but certainly the power of the quake can be seen across the entire south,

east affected regions and the on tap the ground. give what gave way craters fell, and the panorama that overlooks the city. our team stood next to one of them to give you a perspective of just how large, when the earth gave way and also the on taps ancient castle. a castle that has lived for 2000 years withstanding invasions withstanding wars has also crumbled. so it's not only the cities, the towns, the villages that need to be rebuilt, reconstructed it is also the infrastructure that has been hugely affected. and the ancient monuments, all of which have been effected by this devastating quake. stephanie decker 0 in the mountains, outside of his lawyer and south eastern turkey for bennet smith and cut him on my dash where people are blaming pool construction codes for the collapse of some many

building. those behind the rubble behind me is the remains of apartment blocks that just crumbled within an architect tells us 10 to 15 seconds of the quake started meeting those in the people inside had no chance a toll, but across the street. amidst the rubble, there are other apartment buildings like that. one of the behind me, that as you can see, still standing now, it's going to 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. but the difference is the buildings that collapse were built before $999.00. and that one and others like it were built after $999.00 when there was another major quake in turkey, which prompted the introduction of new rules and regulations strengthening the buildings was compounded the damage on the death and destruction is that even buildings built after $999.00, many of them were granted ominous days. if they failed to come up to scratch,

this was often done before elections instead of having to build a building, building the buildings up to standard. people paid a fine and that was paid to the ministry of environment instead of having to build, bring the 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 and what they wanted to do, they told the council about 3 years before this, they want to knock down. they said all the pre $999.00 buildings should be destroyed and rebuilt to new, a low rise standards. when the building is low, arise is more integrated with the ground. and then we're totally more able to withstand the shaking and the oscillation. the quake causes but these buildings weren't evacuated, it means moving thousands and thousands of people, hundreds of buildings and hundreds of businesses. so the buildings were left as they were. and the collapse, as i say, very, very quickly, chamber of architects is angry and frustrated because they say that this death and

destruction was easily avoided. fully disaster has affected an area almost the size of britain. millions of people have been displaced and thousands are now living in camps completely dependent on aid as it beg, visited one of those camps in the southern turkish city of adela. o. a moment of happiness and play amid the destruction they've written. these children now live in a cabin at their yeoman in southeastern, to kia 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. our aim is to make the children laugh because we say if one child laughs, the whole world last, probably more than 5000 people live here. providing food, water, and shelter for them has been a combined effort. met is a businessman who came to help both of us. remember, this is

a part of our country. we know they need both physical and financial help. we came from 1200 kilometers away once we've been here for 8 days. we live like them. we'd like them, we sleep in our cars and tints 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 on my very big areas affected a lot is needed and we need every once a bought 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, but 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 annual leave to come here. we bought some medicine

ourselves. some were donated to us that 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, i helped him in the effort. i said, beg, i'll jazeera at the yeoman southern therapy plaza, saying earlier, the united nations is launched a 1000000000 dollar appeal to help more than 5000000 people across turkey funding for b o. p on the resources will allow aid organization to swiftly wrap up their operations to support government lead response efforts in areas including food security protection, education, water, and shelter. martin griffith, the under secretary jennifer humanitarian affairs who was in the country last week said the people of tre, kia, have experienced,

unspeakable heart ached. and we must stand with them in their darkest hour and ensure they receive the support they need. also to come here and our desire including outrage and controversy. why these ready military has up rooted more than a 1000 on the trees from occupied palestinian monasteries. ah, hello. the weather's looking a little cool and breezy across the middle east at the moment. certainly across the arabian peninsula, down toward sir, the gulf temperatures here in dough. hard around 23 celsius, a little bit of a shemelle to setting in here with the dust and sand. certainly something to watch out for chance or some wet weather, just on the other side of the waters there into a round 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 noticed temperatures here in doha, struggling to get to 20 celsius. it will been a little fresher, over the next few days. meanwhile, temperatures on the rise, acrostic here, northern parts of syria just around the year quake so largely 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 try to push up to was double figures here so that son of 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 spelling in across morocco, snow over the atlas mountains there, but a wet weather will say, pushing its way into that western side of algeria. south of that, hamilton lifting dust and sand, awe inspiring stories from around the world. i believe the

human life capture in its vast wonder feel like everything of what i want to remember me by groundbreaking fumes from award winning filmmakers. ah witness on it just either lou. ah, welcome back. every reminder, the top stories here, this ality, united nations, is appeal for a $1000000000.00 to cover immediate humanitarian needs and turkey. ja,

falling last week's earthquakes, they also need $400000000.00 of quake affected regions in syria. where the relief efforts being severely disrupted by more than a decade old civil war. nearly 44000 people, an amount of died in both countries. authorities haven't yet announced the number of people still missing on there are still some incredible stories of survival and cut him on my dash, 17 year old girl that's been rescued after 10 days buried under the nato secretary general against dalton, doug's in turkey, a to discuss the organization's role in providing support after the earthquakes, he explained how nato members of responded. the day off the earthquake made those dissolves to response sent to issued an immediate request for assistance to all night law laws and partners. since then, thousands of emergency response personnel have been deployed to tokyo to support the reef efforts, including with search and rescue teams, firefighters,

medical personnel, and so mc experts. now millions of people around the world have caught coven 19 and recovered from the disease. a new study published in the lancet medical journal has looked into how much protection this gives you from a 2nd infection. it's found that natural immunity reduces the risk of hospitalization and death by 88 percent for around 10 months. that's at least as long lasting as a protection gained from 2 doses of an m r in a vaccine. for the report also found that protection gain from an early infection met erode more quickly when faced with new a variants like omicron, the reports author still recommend getting vaccinated. they say it's safer to get the job than to go through the disease. let's bring in dr. chris murray. he's a co author of that report and director of the institute for health metrics and evaluation at the university of washington school of medicine. it joins us live from seattle at dr. chris murray. thanks for your time. so your report suggests

that double vaccinations still the best protection against death and hospitalization from cupboard, that's not a new observation. but why is that message still not getting through because they're still substantial opposition globally to cobra vaccines? i mean, the anti back says, at a feel day during the height of cove. it well we now did. our infection does give you some long lasting immunity, but it's a lot safer to get vaccinated. because if you haven't had the disease, if you haven't been vaccinated, you're at substantial risk the 1st time you get infected. so it's, it's an important strategy for people to pursue. chris, your study doesn't include data on, on a cron and it's variance. how much of a worry then, are these new cobit strains, and can they be more harmful to us, given that our natural immunity is a perishable asset? well, our study did include b, a, one, b, a 2, but hasn't included any evidence because there hasn't been published any evidence

yet, annex b b. so the studies that are available on oma crohn suggest that past infection was still very good and preventing severe disease. and hospitalization, but both vaccination and infection don't give as much immunity stopping you getting sick. and so that's, that's the notion of immune escape omicron has been able to evade past immunity. in fact, you, but fortunately not necessarily cause severe disease and death. 3 chris, where to boost the jobs, then fit into all of this, because at the moment of my many people seem to think that cobit is gone away, but of course it hasn't. how effective our booster jobs and why do we need them? if our natural immunity can do the job well, if you're at high risk over age 60, or you have some co morbidity, diabetes, or high body mass index, then you really want to keep your levels of munity up. and so a booster is

a very smart strategy to pursue for younger people if you've been recently infected that saying the last 6 or even 10 months, probably not as important. but it's the people at high risk that we should really focus on getting convincing them to get a booster at the crystal. just a final thoughts you, i mean, what lessons have we all learned from the cobit 19 outbreak? them and millions of people died. millions were very sick, the world stood still for 2 years. how have we better armed ourselves then for the next global pandemic? because as you know, it will come and it will come when we least expect it. you know, unfortunately, we're not really more prepared for the next pandemic. i think people have wanted to put this pandemic behind them. forget about all that happened and we're not seeing the investment by governments around the world for better surveillance. we're not really any better off. i believe for the next pandemic, then we were way back in january of 2020 dr. chris murray. very much big. thank you

for your time and your analysis on this subject. of course, my thank you very much indeed for your time. thank you. now the u. s has condemned israel's decision to expand the legal settlements in the occupied west bank. the biden administration says that undermine 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 is really law. the united states strongly opposes these unilateral measures which, which exacerbates tension, harm trust between the parties and undermined the geographic viability of the 2 states which solution. during this, his recent trip to israel secretary blinking was clear that all parties should refrain from actions, but heightened tensions and take us further away from peace. is waiting troops.

hundreds of olive trees planted by settlers on palestinian land. the trees have been there for 15 years. i've just said hire at reports now from shiloh. and the oxide westbank freshly dug up soil and more than a 1000 olive trees were removed by the israeli forces here on occupied palestinian land in the west bank under an 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 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 border police here to remove these trees. something he says comes on the his,

you're restriction. so the conversation here now is about who controls what, especially when it come to occupied westbank. 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 within 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 said is a threat to democracy. it would potentially give the government the upper hand over the supreme court. now that vote is going to happen on monday and we're likely to see thousands more israelis protesting against it. the

head of the russian state back why the mercenary group is blaming what he calls moscow's monstrous bureaucracy for slow military gains. you can pick up in says it could take months to capture the eastern ukrainian sound of back moot, which was seen intense fighting in recent weeks. it's capture would be a major symbolic wind for russia to the town. hold little strategic value with the advance is preceding, 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, the president of bedroom says his country would join the war alongside russia if attacked. alexander lucas shenker made the comments during a rare press conference involving foreign journalists, bella ruth was used as a launching point for the invasion last year, and still hosts russian troops. because shenker has so far avoided sending his own forces into ukraine. a young i am ready to fight alongside russia in only
