10:07 am
i was affecting turkey is relations with neighboring countries. of course, this earthquake came at a time when to care was preparing for a general election that is officially scheduled for june 18, but at the turkish president. it was a saying that it should be pulled back to may 14, so it has domestic repercussions, but also it has international dimension. for instance, it took here, it had tense relations with its neighbor in the west greece. it relations were tense, over the 12 island situation. over eastern mediterranean, all exploration activities in the mediterranean sea, on the other hand, to kia, has a tens relations with armenia. the cross border a gates were closed, but greece was one of the 1st countries who offered help to 2. again, it was like that during 1999 earthquake as well,
10:08 am
the relations were soft and when air grease rescue workers were one of the 1st teams that were deployed to to get even back then an armenia opened. it opened the border crossing for humanitarian it as a whole military and 8 corridors. so we are seeing that at times of crisis, natural disasters, even the countries that are, are almost neal are approaching a to a war, a can rebuild relations. and we heard greece prime minister, which attack is saying that at this earthquake, a might also a paved the way a for a redefining the relations with to kia because there is solidarity, there is support and it all countries have left there are international or by later problems i had but trying to help each other, but of course how long it will continue is another issue. well, sir, i am. thank you very much. and being sent in costello bringing up the dates from anchor other now as tuck here prepares for a massive rebuilding effort. president william typo one is being criticized for
10:09 am
fought many a colleague inadequate building regulations. bernard smith is in common mulash, and people dare say poor construction codes are the reason why so many buildings collapsed. those behind the rubble behind me is the remains of apartment blocks that just crumbled within an architect. tell this 10 to 15 seconds. of the quake started reading those in the people inside had no chance a toll, but across the street. amidst the rubble, there are other pop building thought that one of the behind me that as you can see, still standing now 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 when there was another major quake in turkey, which prompted the introduction of new rules and regulations strengthening the building was compounded the damage on the death and destruction is that even
10:10 am
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. and 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 that 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 these 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 in the oscillation. the quake causes but these buildings weren't evacuated, it means moving thousands and thousands of people,
10:11 am
hundreds of buildings at hundreds of businesses. so the buildings were left as they were. and the collapse, as i say, very, very quickly, chamber of architect is angry and frustrated because they say that this death and destruction was easily avoidable. and se turkey that all fears that flooding could make things worse. stephanie deck reports from just outside the time of the year 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 levels to rise. the villagers are extremely concerned that this could
10:12 am
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, creatures foul, 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 causal 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. in northern say, may deliveries are starting to come in after a border crossing was reopened. let's be handed out at a makeshift camp in rebel held areas of the province of aleppo, but entire communities had been forced to leave their homes. activists and local emergency teams have criticized the slow response to the greeks in the war torn country, missouri on the lower level since day one, our teams have been keener responding to help our people, especially in the displacement camps that were created quickly to shelter them again we've distributed a number of aid kits. we've also made sure to provide water and items for sanitation and hygiene. vessel said i went to the northern said in time of gender is 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
10:14 am
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 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 the weiss is not hurt. many of the relatives have stayed on to the rebels for days and days. didn't have more than more than equipments to, to pull them out. very rudimentary equipments,
10:15 am
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, 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
10:16 am
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, 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. how about his daughter? the doctor says she's also dad. and he asked 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 to deny time. it's freezing cold,
10:17 am
and every single drop of the 8 can help them to survive. still had another 0, the head of rushes. wagner, mercenary group lames, moscow's military bureaucracy for slow gains in the east of ukraine, and condemnation of security forces in peru by amnesty international after weeks of unrest. ah, in depth analysis of the case headlines from around the world, if i write extremism, is real and need to be tackled as soon as possible. frank assessments, you guys failed. it's time to back in you julio. why do you get to get out of that minute over by the big informed opinions with, you know, dorky disappointment inside story on al jazeera

10:21 am
a date back to the war in syria dispatch 2016 as really escalated over the past year with him going public as the owner of the water grip and rushes 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, the water grip assembled an army of 50000 troops, 40000 prisoners, and 10000 mercenaries. and all they had to show for its been cited heavy casualties is the takeover of cylinder and back loot. obviously was that increasingly important for the russian campaign because it gave them a critical victory financed 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 in to capturing the city, but creating a stalemate that blad ukrainian forces. i result from 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. here as president joe biden says, 3 on identified objects shot done by fighter jet sonya this month did not appear to
