12:05 am
and the earthquake has just add that to the misery. these children were born during celia's war, most have grown up as orphans. they have washed those around them, killed by bombs for them from the sky. the earthquakes took away what little they had left, but even in disaster, some are finding fun. in this makeshift camp is now home to many survivors. one of them is mohammed sato. he had a family and lived in a camp. it wasn't much busted home. he says he was next to his wife when the roof collapse on them. he held his wife's leg to see if she was alive. she moved it a little, a sign of life, a spark of hope. when he woke in a makeshift hospital, he discovered his entire family was dead. how little i asked about my wife? the doctor told me she is dead. my daughter is dead. my son too. they are all gone

12:07 am
that al jazeera gender, us northwest syria, while the earthquake has seriously disrupted education for children in northern syria. the school in the south of live is just one of many that have been damaged or completely destroyed. it had already been bombarded by government forces, others have been destroyed and many teachers and students have been killed. the principal is calling for the building to be repaired so that students can resume their studies. her cars not quite a little bit when they were very scared because of the earthquake and we haven't gone to school since our school was previously shelled by allah sod forces. then the earth was many cracks in it. and we don't know what the aftershocks will do to the school. i'm working with my father right now in a shop that sells peter. but i want to tell everyone that i like to go to school, and i hope we will go to school. so after fixing the damages,
12:08 am
we will aid agencies of voice concerns over the safety of unaccompanied children in syria. ahmed, by ram, is norwegian refugee councils adviser for them, at least to join me now from amman. jordan casino that millions of children have been affected by these off quakes and both syria and turkey. but i want to ask you specifically about the on a company children in syria where the situation was already very stretched and fragile. those children that have lost one or both parents. what are your teams in places like hama, ed lib takia aleppo telling you about this? bang, mary area, of course it is. so very critical situation for those children to secure those, as you say, paid by which we mean. of course they have loss and a father or a mother of both a, this other speak. the case of the 1st law was that this way about tudaraitu particular risk we have and we have the angels and activities
12:09 am
emotional cities where they come to release some stress, talk about their experiences. these children have, obviously not necessarily lost their parents, their house might be in hospital, but they might be in a chat, you know, situation. it doesn't allow for the children to go. and so they need someone from their family to tell them that their parents are ok, or even sadly, to break the news that the parents passed away. so the children are to go rescue mental developing mental issues lawfully cold, just by book with, with, with cases of seen cases of children his a week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks later they start to develop reactionary behavior could be. so my question is could be obviously tears these children need to be looked after,
12:10 am
just like other on the community. one of the categories, like people with disabilities and policy babies. so yeah, we're talking about an issue that i think will start to emerge later. later on, at the later stage, when we start to become come up with to to, to discover the number is how many children have obviously lost a parents or as reading a report where one urologist was speaking to the un office coordination for humanitarian affairs. and it just recalling the moment when the neurologist is saying he was given a 3 month old child with a fractured skull and he says, until now we don't know anything about his family. no one has asked for him either . so obviously the child is just a baby, doesn't have any identity documents. where does one even begin with that?
12:11 am
because obviously it's important for the child to be re united with, i mean if not parents and extended family for their own safety and protection. but so this is very difficult to manage in the, in the current situation. absolutely. yeah, of course, i mean, profoundly tragic. definitely. this is the legal aspect of it all the paperwork. aspect of it is going to be a long, long marathon for these people, for these children who have lost their parents or to have lost their siblings. that we, we have been working across syria on, on this particular issue on, on documentation to the documentation before their break. and i think we're going to scale up our work legal work and syria across areas. the particular difficulties that obviously these people had to run at 4 am. they had nothing with them and they probably lost everything they had. the most precious of all. having learned that from the past 12 years is always the documents is
12:12 am
always the papers. it's always the your id that is the, that is the only thing that will, you know, prove your identity to the world. and i think it's a long, it's going to be a long journey, which will, you know, i think, months now as is looking after these people from the legal aspects of proving identities have tracing which is going to be another big issue to enlarge later when we can i forgive me, i just wanted to ask you as well about using the industrial psychological psycho social support and returning to education is a very important part of that for children. so what was the state of education in places like live before the earthquake stroke? we just looking at images of schools that have been damaged in some cases, completely destroyed. what provisions need to be made now to make sure that children can continue with the learning somehow? yeah, i mean will be, but before the, before the break, even in the least over
12:13 am
a decade because we're talking about 2, i think the numbers went to alpha 3 children in these areas out of so it's a huge number. the schools themselves are now being trying to make shift shelters, which means that children, even if the school is still standing, they can't resume education before some time because these schools have been out of shelters to the 1st thing that we need to do to look for just to solace problems, of course, securing the shelter for people temporary shelter, whether to stay where they can have a sense of modesty again. and as soon as we do that, we need to get these children back to back to the kitchen and back to school service school repairs is a i think is already on the way and organizations are looking after that. so i think the best of the best thing out we can do now is to give these children education to give them the emotional space where they can release some energy,
12:14 am
talk about their experience and of course be with friends. thank you very much for taking the time to speak to his armor by around the norwegian refugee council. i wish you were best with your important work right now. and you were rebuilding efforts are expected to begin with and weeks as well. and tucker, city of car me on my rush, architects as well as local residence, a blaming unmodified buildings for the high desk, told that nearly all the homes that collapse at the epi center were built a for new safety regulations came in. and we're not retrofitted. but it's miss reports from the city in the 1st 10 to 15 seconds of the earthquake, the dozens of apartment buildings here collapsed. those inside had no chance. they were built before 1999. but here every one survived. they were billed after 1999. that was when an earlier quake into care prompted
12:15 am
a strengthening of building regulations unit 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 or mine is on the hertz to seal this destruction, but i am angry to this could easily have been avoided. i've lost family members. everyone's affected by this is been proved once again that what matters is 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 eunice and 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,
12:16 am
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 solely okay. realizing the cost with icy immense pain here jamil as does she met. 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 build a mix is the concrete banana you can, must and take you to bottom it. there is no one reason why a building collapses. it could have been the type of soil a fault in the construction plan or 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 typo on says he wants the 1st new homes to be ready within
12:17 am
a year. the architects in this town woman to be built to survive the next quake. while the focus is shifting from rescue operations to providing relief to the many people affected by the earthquakes, there are still some signs of hope. a 45 year old man was pulled from the rubble in the southern turkish province of hattie 11 days after the 1st powerful wife had been trapped in a collapse building for 278 hours. and one man who was rescued earlier on friday, 261 hours after the quake has met his newborn daughter for the 1st time. and meal was born on the day of the earthquake itself. she met her father must afar at a hospital in the turkish city of nursing. but as the hope of finding survivors slips away, focuses as we sang, shifting to really helping those have been displaced by the disaster who need emergency aid acid bag reports. now from on the hardest hit areas,
12:18 am
income on marsh tells us about how students are coping that good rating and hoping even if the chances are very slim zane of has been sitting here every day since the earthquakes. it comforted now by one of her daughters. some of them who's them? my daughter son in law and 3 grand children still under there. they found some of their personal belongings. they went into the rooms but couldn't find them. we've been here since the earthquake happened. they cannot find them in. among these destroyed buildings, this school remained standing. it's being used to provide people with 8 hello you that it, there is no one left to go to school. a lot of people have died on a few people a left of them. you share it to me, at least the schools are being used for a good purpose. oh, education has been suspended and it will affect us probably what i'm sure the state will do. what is necessary for our education. in another part of this devastated
12:19 am
city, this camp set up to has displaced. people is now full of children. in con, we are very concerned about our kids education. we want my education to start as soon as possible. this was the epicenter of the earthquakes, and it will never be the same again. with so many buildings destroyed and even more damaged is unlike the children in this city will be returning to school any time soon after providing the initial aid for the earthquake victims, the government is now turning its attention to what comes next, a sod, vague. i'll visit. 3 common matters for them to appear also in the southeast. now many people are facing a new problem. they fear that flooding could make a difficult situation. even worse. algeria stephanie dec reports now from close to the town of s law. 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
12:20 am
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 in gods, the on tap, the ground give what gave way, creatures 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 because the aunt
12:21 am
had 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, al jazeera in the mountains, outside of his law. here in south eastern turkey. you at the news. our lie from london more still to bring you. they didn't even have the courage. so to look at me, it mouth bass app there. what they did to marseilles to see back here by former memphis police officers appear in court for the 1st time, accused of beating 29 year old tire and nickels to death. sedans, jazeera state has fertile fields and water, but it hasn't supported the population for years. we'll look at why and what's been
12:22 am
done to plant hopes of renewal and in sport, to of england's greatest ever cricketers. add another record to that collection. and he will be here with that story. ah, now the puck is donny taliban claimed to have carried out an attack on a police headquarters in karachi, killing at least 2 police officers and one civilian 11 others have been injured in what local media reporting to be a heavy exchange of gunfire between the police and attackers who stormed the compound, 3 of the attackers also died following a series of loud explosions. this is the latest in a string of attacks from the pakistani f and fox. i taliban on security forces in the country come all high to has more from islam about de operation. as all the security forces have completed that operation,
12:23 am
they have taken over control of that building which was occupied by the gunmen for several hours a day. of course storm that very day, 7 o'clock, glo, good time, and poetry and how far the security forces, including the police defended military forces, some unit of the project on the military. what was now they are saying that all of those have been neutralized, one of them, of god donating the explosive device and to dad on the roof golf but also k. but just to give you an idea of what had been going on for the last one month, the high but booked on the police, inspector general said that they would kick he to attack in one month alone in which 300 policemen have been killed in the type of book to the province alone,
12:24 am
including those under what carol did they explosion that happened just a little over a week ago. i got my dish showed again that the police were not prepared for that there dag despite the fact that there's been a high security alert across the country there that dollar bond budget on the broad wow that they will continue. we do their dag. but for now, we can confirm that the situation is under control. and that security for to have taken over the control of that was a d office of the police chief of the city. and that this all put ation and now all what was sharon said he is the founder of the policy. think tank tub, bad luck. he joined us now from munich. so we have here another direct attack on security forces. how much of a, a failure is this on the passive, the military, the intelligence in pakistan, the on the political leads was certainly we had
12:25 am
a terrorist attack in which many more people, nearly a 100 policemen and support staff were killed in the shower. and that was less than 3 weeks ago. the fact that this has happened again, so soon after the shout attack is clearly a signal from the terrorist group that it is able to strike very, very important buildings in the 2 cities between which most of the countries sandwiched and which often are the gateways to buckets not either from the north of the south. so the symbolic value of the attack is enormous. and the biggest symbol in all of this is the relative helplessness of the state in protecting the protectors of the people of pakistan. and that being the police services, as he say, they have targeted to security forces into very important cities and shower and now
12:26 am
karachi, it signals a huge breakdowns in the capacity of the security to be able to prevent these sort of attacks. but could we, would you completely rule out the possibility that there is some sort of cooperation from within the security forces, some sort of communication between the groups that are perpetrating these attacks and those perhaps from within i think that yeah, this kind of speculation i think is really helpful box on has been dealing with this kind of speculation for 20 plus years. the fact that the box, honey state mis manages it's fight against terrorism is a very different proposition from one that suggests that you know, the box nice state is, you know, in some ways compliant with terrorists or, or in lead with them. i think personally for me,
12:27 am
i do think that can be completely ruled out the box and has been going through the different elements of this kind of a threat now for 2 decades. that a lot of that is buckets on its own responsibility. but i think there's many actors that have contributed to this, and certainly the policemen and the soldiers of boxed on are the least deserving of any kind of spec lation that somehow their work is lacking in any way. i think they're being failed by a military, political elite that is distracted and dis united. they're dealing with a global geopolitical scenario and which of, honest, on and boxed on don't matter as much anymore. and the mass that the americans of left behind an honest on one that pakistan had repeatedly warned the americans and the rest of the world about for 2 decades. now that mouse has actually come home to
12:28 am
bucharest on itself. well, as you say, it's something that's been going on for a long time. it's a catastrophic breakdown insecurity. it's very wiring people in the country. if security forces can protect, please protect themselves from this attack. it has implications for the security of the population as well. you are obviously very at the munich security conference. you say that the conflicts and i've kind of on focused on the, the, the forgotten. what is the view that amongst the leaders, what are they saying is all the focus on the worn ukraine and that sort of european security landscape? are you hearing much about august on or afghanistan? look at the box on the foreign minister here. there's other delegates from pakistan that are participating and so there is a conversation about of honest don and about indeed about other parts of the world . but obviously the kind of attention that the rest of the invasion of ukraine is, is drawing. and it kind of resources that demand from europe and from nato
12:29 am
countries means that a lot of the focus and attention that the same countries were able to give us honest on they're not able to give the irony, of course, is that even when natal i stuff and the americans were an honest on they were constantly being pleaded with that talks with the dollar bon, that generation of dollar bond that had taken over of honest on, in the late ninety's and the one that was displaced and removed in 2001 that those talks would be the ideal way forward for preventing a further metastasize ation of violent extremism and extremist groups like the balaban. instead, what we have now is a much more calcified 2nd 3rd generation thought about that is much more resilient and it has much more endurance. and they have taken over of honest on this is relevant for today's attack because the terrorist group that attacked pakistan again today is one that enjoys safe haven and the support sometimes an implicit
12:30 am
and sometimes explicit of the, of land balaban. but because the west is done with of honest on this is a fight that the now pakistan is going to have to clean up on its own. and it's a pakistan that doesn't have the same capacity to fight that it did 20 years ago. the taliban? no, this hence their constant attacks on these kinds of targets. ok, thank you very much. lashire sadie for joining us as we were hearing that will lead as our meeting in germany and at a state of global security is the focus for them that the munich security conference course. it's russia's invasion of ukraine that is essential to the agenda. but for the 1st time, russia and iran are not invited to the summit kinds. president rhodium is lensky gave the opening address, urging allies to speed out weapons deliveries, and saying that to any delay threatens their own safety as well. we have to
12:31 am
liberate ukraine and europe because when the russian weapon should at us, it is already pointed at our neighbors. may euro be this subject of compromise? no. we have to liberate from roger's aggressive potential potential every international institution and every fear of the world economy. because because only on live then there will be a chance for freedom to pass through our border further to the east. now diplomatic at his james bay's is at the conference in munich. this address exactly one year on was very important, pretty similar language as we've seen. progressive scan, his recent speeches, for example, when he spoke recently in london, in paris and brussels messages to the international community. to do more making his appointment. what is lacking here is speed. he keeps asking for things. it started with non lethal assistance with the west was giving it moved to heavy
12:32 am
weapons then to artillery and now tanks. and now he's calling to fight a jazz with everything he asked for that there's been a long period of delay discussion. and eventually the west gives him what he wants, but he would like to see the delivery of weapons speeded up. much, much more. ukraine will stay the top issue, i think, during this years munich security conference. but it's not just what discussed here in terms of a sort of talk fast. it's also active diplomacy that sometimes takes place. on these occasions, the us delegation, represented by vice president, commonly harris bought the us secretary of state entity blinking is going to be here to as is the top foreign policy, official of china, y m e, the state counsellor. when ye give it all attention over taiwan and more recently over the chinese balloon shot down over north american space. there is the possibility of discussions between those 2,
12:33 am
which of course is something to watch very closely. meanwhile, the russian president, i do appreciate is welcomed his battle. russian count piley's on the look shanker to moscow. they are also talking about security as well as you can all meet ties and military corporation in recent months. but a ruth and russian forces of canada joint military exercises near the border with ukraine. leon's, current account says holding a briefing cold by russia on the violations of the 2015 in minsk agreements. it was meant to provide a diplomatic solutions and conflicts and new kinds dumbass reaching between ukrainian forces and russian back separatists because we're open to their globe. gus, a global unions. the refusal to implement the minsk agreements became a ukrainian tragedy. and this happened because of a criminal policy by the ukrainian leadership, which was goaded by the collective west, were convinced that the ukrainian people aren't yet to give their opinion of this crime. the current leader of the country, mister zalinski, was elected in 2019 with a sizable majority,
12:34 am
precisely because he promised the country peace, national dialogue protection of the russian language and intern nation reconciliation. but once he was elected, he continued confrontation with russia. he forgot his program in order to please the geopolitical ambition of the west and christa's salumi as fine developments there at united nations. this is to mark the 8th anniversary of the minsk agreement . this is the 4th year in a row, actually that russia has called a meeting in the security council, which endorsed that agreement to mark the mince agreement and accused the west and ukraine of failing to implemented. it's not the 1st time that we've heard russia blame the failure of the minsk agreement on a. it's reasoning for it's reasoning to invade ukraine. rushes argued that before, but this meeting does come. i just the week before the anniversary of that invasion
12:35 am
on a time when western nations are planning many events to commemorate that anniversary here at the united nations. anthony is our life in london slat on the program, the man who conspired to kill micron, why they and why did they want to mind? and the president of france and split the was number 110 is player, is inside a 12 career title. only action from a catera. ah hello, the weather's looking fine and troy across a good part of southern year, a nice little area of high pressure. it's getting squeezed, further, south actually. and as that happens, it's allowing weather systems to move across more than most pass that storm. also

12:51 am
india. for months the cheaters are been taken to india to help their country repopulate. this follows the extinction of the is the arctic cheaters in india, the 1940s. those who been monitoring the progress, see the animals will be safe and will quickly adopt to their new environments. basically, a teacher have been in declined for the past 18000. yes sir. so therefore, as the 1st country to reverse the decline of while to the population. and i made a population, has grown from 217 to 5 and in 20, in the last 12 years. so we now in a position to export well cheaters to other countries, south africa and india, signed an agreement to introduce thousands of the animals over the next decade. india also received 8 cheaters from namibia last year for south africa area. of course, a lot of the mother population comes up. we can have a genetic law,

12:53 am
as the potential buyer to make an official offer by the end of friday, the glaze of family bought the club in 2005 for less than a $1000000000.00. the americans looking to sell it for at least $6000000000.00 will in a statement shake just him said his bid is completely debt free and will seek to place the fans at the heart of manchester, united once more, british billionaire, jim ratcliffe went public with his interest last month, radcliffe already owns clubs in france and switzerland and tried to buy chelsea last year. groups from saudi arabia and united states could also join the concepts at this stage. any offers a non binding. it gives the chance to gauge the level of interest. well, let's say now from simon chadwick, a professor of sports and geo politics. when just why the club has been put up for sale, united is now come to a pivotal moments. i think it's come to a poor pivotal moment for 2 reasons. the 1st one is it's very clear that the
12:54 am
glazes and, and possibly u. s. private equity investors in general do not have the resources to be able to compete with the, the, the golf clubs and, and i'm thinking particularly here of manchester city, party signs a mile. but the 2nd thing is, is if united is going to grow it's revenues even further, it needs a new stadium. and so ask the glazes are going to take the club any further. they're going to have to make some very, very serious and significant investments in stadium infrastructure. but i also think in terms of investment in the playing schools. and so i think at this moment in time, it looks like they want to cash out. there is tremendous soft power. no interested in the premier league in manchester, united specifically. but what's really crucial as well, i think is, is to, is to focus on manchester, i think, as a city because as we seen through abu dhabi ownership of manchester city, the, the investors from the gulf region have really used the club as
12:55 am
a means through which to embed themselves through economic and political factors within the city. and so. busy of urban renewal, a lot of residential accommodation has been built by the government which has got to that position through the football club. so i think we will see the same thing potentially if we've, we've got saudi arabian, or catherine owners at manchester, united there will be a broader context possibly linked to local investment opportunities. and a key detail of this, i think, is, is that the british government post bracks, it has just recently announced that the river that runs from, from the atlantic pass liverpool all the way to, to sulphur pretty much on manchester. united doorstep will become a free port. so for those people who are familiar with, for example, the bell alley free pool, did you buy? that's what the british government is essentially trying to create between liverpool, manchester. and so this potentially offer some interesting opportunities for,
12:56 am
for golf investors because freeport, bring with them economy and political advantages. premier league regimes on saturday with austin, playing aston villa in the early game of bass and by consul arrivals. manchester 531 on wednesday. the 2 teams now level points at the top of the table, the position that we are in the way the team is plain and all the right things that we have to continue to do to in the right to continue to be there. and we seen where the level is, we want to be at the level we are in that journey together. there were a lot of positive things that they found in for sure. this past coming out from christian ronaldo. one of the 1st to assist for anal there was he helped his l last at c. so when it puts in top of the saudi league is yet so experience defeats in this competition. angola stewart,
