a strengthening of building regulations. eunice catch mars a local architect, says 90 percent of the buildings that collapsed in carmel marsh, who were built before the new standards were introduced as good as our minds on the hertz to seal this destruction. but i am angry to this could easily have been avoided. i've lost family members every once affected by this is been proved once again that what matters his science mathematics will never fail. even with such a massive earthquake, only 2 percent of the new buildings collapsed. eunice is low rise, office is the style of building. he says he wanted to see built here. it's more integrated into the earth. he says so more able to withstand. shaking and swaying. 3 years ago unison his colleagues held a meeting with officials to warn of the dangers of an earthquake. the chamber of architects urged the local council to evacuate all this area, demolish and rebuild again to new standards. but it would have meant up routing,

thousands and thousands of people and hundreds of businesses there was never done. then the, with tens of thousands of amnesty is given by the government to people who build new structures that failed to meet the latest standards. instead of fine was paid, which just in 2018 and the ministry of environment more than $4000000000.00. so we're okay. really liqueurs with facing immense pain here. jamil as does she med, she says he's a building auditor. so many variables can affect the strength of a construction. he says right down to how a trainee builder mixes the concrete banana you can must and take me to parliament . there is no one reason why a building collapses. it could have been the type of soil of fault in the construction plan of the engineering, the workmanship or something external. we have many buildings badly damaged by other falling building us there need to be technical inspections and only then can we take the steps necessary for a safe future. turkey as president reggie ty, 3rd one says he wants the 1st new homes to be ready within

a year. the architects in this town woman to be built to survive. the next week, bernard smith al jazeera kara ma marsh. the technical aims. joining us live from us in natasha over the last several days. we've heard stories of rescues and tragedy of foster care. and in syria, what's been happening, where you are now were in the city of hers on, in her tie province, a province that has been devastated by the earthquake. 14000 people in the province have died. but here in urs on population, about 43000 people, not a single person died, not a single building collapsed. and we'll have my photographer ali, show you that on these apartment buildings i'm standing in front of. you can see the potted plants unmoved. lots of scenes, typical city scenes we're seeing in this town. in contrast to the devastated areas

we've been in the last several days. the major sign of damage is this earth, this is mosque in the city center. now, there are a couple of factors contributing to the fact that the city fared rather well in the earthquake, but 1st off is where it is geographically situated. it is a about a 119 kilometers away from the epicenter of the earthquake income and marsh. it is also a 40 kilometers to the west. there is a fault line, but in between the fault line, there is a mountain and expert say that that mountain has likely acted as a barrier in the city. also, the soil there is the city is at a higher sea level and there is bedrock buildings are being constructed on bed rock which are apparently better able to withstand the swaying motion of buildings that occurs during an earthquake. unlike a city say, such as an takia which has been levelled, which was built on sand and clay,

which is quite vulnerable. and then you have the fact that the city has strictly enforced building codes. there is a national reckoning going on as i'm sure our viewers have now learned concerns about well known shoddy construction practices. and what people perceive as lacks enforcement of building codes that are in compliance with earthquake engineering. stan thirds, in 2018 the government offered zoning, amnesty pay a fine, and people did not have to comply with building codes. now the government is on the defense. president irwin has said that 98 percent of the 48000 buildings that have collapsed during this earthquake were built before in 1999. the ministry of justice is in the midst of an investigative probe, more than a dozen people have been arrested for building code violations. but there is still a great deal of anger. the people here say they understand they have fared much

better than their neighbors in a tie province. but we're keep talking to people who've been living outside. they say our homes are damage. there are cracks all over the walls, but we don't feel safe to return. bear in mind there have been more than 4700 aftershocks since the initial earthquake hit on february 6. so people are still quite jittery. were told that inspectors have been coming by telling people whether or not there is there buildings or say structurally sound and safe to return to. but even then people say that they're quite suspicious because ers and has fared rather well. it is now become a bit of a refuge for people who have evacuated from other areas who have been more devastated. but we're told there is a lack of accommodation for them that were told some of those people are being housed in schools or taking a bed or a couch with a relative and others are living in cars. so the message we're hearing from the people here in ours on is don't forget about us. we still do need aid that we are

appreciative that our city has fared much better than most natasha. i am talking to this from amazon in hunting provence. natasha. thank you. 11 days after the earthquakes, most rescue missions are now focused on helping survivors. rescues are rare, but they are still happening. a boy is called, alive from under rubble and hattie and took here on friday morning. even trapped for nearly 11 days. more than 40, some 1000 deaths have been recorded in both countries are corresponded. assa bag has an update from the heart hit area of common with us where standing in the pay ground of the school. this building is still standing, although many around it have been damaged or destroyed right now. for some of the people, the workers rescue work as a pretty say using it for their friday praise. now the government has said that education has been suspended in the schools until 1st of march, and then they will start to resume it once again, depending on those districts and those schools. school by the school basis,

a slender source issues have been resolved. now across the 10 provinces is roughly 4000000 students and 200000 teachers. now all of these people have been affected, but currently this will that we're sending. it has been used by 8 workers. they've been distributing water and food. and other things here was many people have gone back to the camps, but they're using this as a base in a hand to her men. mirage. there is considerable destruction and there was the 17 year old girl pulled out from the rubble 248 hours after that earthquake hit. in the 42 year old woman over 250 hours after the earthquake, which now some people are still holding on to hope. but there has been considerable destruction and a difference on now turning to how do you provide for those people that being made homeless that day. and they can go back to their homes, even if the building or spending devon is considerable destruction. so the government's going to have to demolish lots of buildings and start rebuilding from scratch. and that is the major challenge here in se her care people fear flooding

could make things worse. stephanie decker reports from close to the china of is lakia. 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 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 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. 8 is reaching northern syria. after the reopening of border crossing is being handed out and make shift camps in rattle held areas in the province of aleppo,

entire communities were forced to leave their homes. activists and emergency teams of criticize the slow response to the disaster that so seller has been to the northern city in town of jim doris. there are thousands and thousands of people that they have lost their houses or relative the of did one. now they are here waiting for aid for food, food, 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. northwest unit 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 the and the father had to witness that. and just to me there's a way 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 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 national eat, is significantly important because it's winter and particularly drink tied to the nighttime. it's freezing cold,

and every single drop of the 8 can help them to survive. ah, to other news now war leaders are meeting in germany to discuss global security policies. main topic of the munich security conference is going to be the russian invasion of ukraine. the conflict has seen a change in policies across europe, including commitments to include weapon deliveries to keep russia and iran have not been invited to the summit for the 1st time. our diplomatic editor james bays is in munich. james from we've covered these events before is usually a very wide ranging agenda, but clearly just one subject of the focus for the agenda for this one. yeah, absolutely. the music security conference for the 2nd year running is being dominated by the events in ukraine. i was standing here

a year ago at this very spot. and then we watched president lensky go in to the munich security conference that was just days before the russian invasion at that point. leaders from around the world were sending messages. i think using this conference, send messages to president putin. we have the intelligence the or private running to invade. but please think again, it'll be a disaster if you do so well. now we're going to hear many of those same leaders giving their assessment one year on presidents lensky is not here this year. he is likely we think to give his address by video conference, but we have other important leaders, nato and e. u leaders. i saw a short time ago, the mother came of the vice president in the united states cobbler harris. she is in town, we've seen a short time ago, emanuel macro, the french president arrive and oh, love schultz, the german chunks that those are among some of those that are going to be speaking here today in munich. the topic of ukraine, top of the agenda, but when you have

a meeting like this, it's not just talking about international events, sometimes getting some diplomacy done. and it's worth telling you that also here from the us in the coming hours will be the u. s. secretary state antony blinkin and also going to be here in munich at the same time attending this conference is one ye, he's the state chuck counsellor of china, the top foreign policy official in china. and given the tensions in taiwan, given the recent tension following the shooting down of that balloon believed to be a chinese, then there's the prospect, the possibility no one's confirming that the 2 might have a meeting on the sidelines of this meeting, which of course would be very significant, and james, thanks so much. obviously we're going to be checking in with you over the last couple of hours or so as the conference goes on. but for now, thank you very much. indeed. i, stella had on al jazeera,
