12:05 pm
that they were affected. and here they, they seem to be happy. we haven't heard anything negative for now. of course, what they're telling you about their cities, what they, how went through is it's moral, i'm and they always tell us that for the 1st 2 days ago, a month was not there for relief. it's also because of the weather condition because of the highway conditions, no one ever way. but they say after the 3rd day they started to receive the relief and there were many themes on the ground. but at the 1st 48 hours was a real trauma. for many of them, we have so many children. here. we have all the people as the people. and there are places for the children and to play like a small kindergarten. and we heard from the officers here that they a salvage the classroom for, for, for the primary school age kids. and there are new people coming in by the way,

cities in an off that many more are still in camps across the quake, hip fath ben smith has worn out from the relief camden, a dana in southern to care our thousands and thousands of temporary shelters that have been set up like this are behind me. the idea of these is they, they will be temporary. this place should be closed by monday because what's happening is a lot of the evacuated people. 3 and 4000 people evacuated. a lot of them are being moved into university dormitories to give them at least a solid roof over their had. as the rebuilding process goes on, there are more than $1000.00. there are 1189 unaccompanied children survivors. most of them are with relatives, but 589 of them are not. and 74000 buildings that didn't fall in the quake must be pulled down, demolished as soon as possible because they're not safe. the government, keen as a say to emphasize the scale of this,
12:08 pm
but also frustration from people that many of these buildings were talking about should not have gone up. in the 1st place, a government granted before the 2018 election here more than a 140000 building amnesty is in this part of turkey for all sorts of structures from sheds to large apartment blocks buildings that didn't come up to scratch in terms of the building standards they needed to be at post an earthquake in $99.00 to $999.00. what happened instead result people had to pay a fine the earned the ministry of environment more than $4000000000.00 in 2018 for the paid a fine. and they didn't have to build, bring the building up to scratch, thousands of thousands of people here furious about that or with so many homes and buildings destroyed many communities and her care had been left eventually empty. stephanie deca has worn out from the southeastern town of alliston, l with done the exact epicenter of that 2nd earthquake. the city resembles
12:09 pm
a ghost town. we've been driving around at streets. we haven't seen a single building. left standing, either collapsed, partially collapsed, destroyed, nothing remains livable here. a lot of its residents have left. there are not many tents here, and many residents also complained that help didn't come fast enough. el boston is nestled between snow covered mountains. it takes a long time to drive here. when you see nothing but mountains, it's also freezing. below 20 centigrade at night. we've also seen the turkish john dynamo. oh, with a cadaver dog. the rescue operation ended a long time ago here. now, it is only about recovering bodies, some of the buildings have already been marked, zoning on it saying things like empty saying damage noted. it seems that the work to rebuild this area has already begun, but at the moment,
12:10 pm
the devastation and we've been to many cities across the south east remains beyond comprehension. stephanie decker, al jazeera albus done in southeastern, took kia all a gone in football player who went missing. after those outbreaks has now been found dead under the rubble in southern to kia christian answer. his agent said his body was beneath damaged building where he lived. and hattie, there were in his reports that he'd been rescued, but they leisha turned out to be on true outs who joined the tucker super excited to hunt ice, bore in september ah, well sir, some other news now and senior defense officials and wild leaders are meeting at the annual munich security conference for a 2nd day of talk there. the summit opened on friday with a video message by ukrainian president brought him his zalinski meetings will focus
12:11 pm
on the war and ukraine, and may also address the suspect of chinese spy balloon incident that was shut down by the u. s. well, let speak to out of madigan sir james bass. he's acrosta's 4th in munich. james and another opportunity here for a show of support for ukraine. it seems yes. so range of issues as you say, is ever at the munich security conference and obviously with the u. s secretary state had neglect lincoln, the u. s. vice president cobbler harris, and the senior chinese foreign policy, official, y, and z. there'll be some focus, i think on us china relations after the downing of that balloon tensions continue over taiwan. but i think the main issue above all others, as we approached the 1st anniversary of the invasion of ukraine is going to be the wore in that country. let's discuss this further. i'm joined by tanya fi and she is the deputy prime minister and foreign minister of slovenia. so almost the 1st anniversary. how do you see the war in ukraine?
12:12 pm
who's winning in slovenia? we are following the war with great concern. we see every day, lots of civilian, that's we see the destruction of civilian infrastructure. we have a nuclear power plant. so these are reasons for concern. these the but brutal if i say russian aggression ukraine continues. now for a year, of course we want is green. see the piece as soon as possible, and we are saying in st. louis, know we understand we want to support and help. ok. union. so far we donated more than $23000000.00 euros. seen different material. how many italian military 8 to claim because they are fighting for its territory or somebody anytime integrity and in slovenia, we well know what does that mean? now, one quarter of the country is under illegal annex ation. and this is unacceptable. this is the gays, the international law, the rule of order. so we have to defend to clean as long as it is necessary. but at
12:13 pm
the same time, i think we have to do a lot of air force to have diplomatic janos ways that the both sites would see to the table and sat negotiating for peace. everyone at the end of the day wants to see peace. but you have presidents lensky saying he wants to take back every inch of ukraine. is that realistic or should the negotiations start earlier than that? but do you want to say dental crane needs to surrender with giving away the lens that can not work like that. if you went to go station start, i do hope that when the aggression of russia stops, and we have to see that 1st, there are conditions currently there are no conditions to sign the negotiations. i wish to see it tomorrow. but let us be realistic, i believe that we have to prepare for a long lasting will, may be of frozen conflict. but we have to do
12:14 pm
a lot of efforts 1st to defend and terrible crane because it, these brutal war that is destroying civilian targets. you certainly people are killing children, it will change the landscape in the future of young generation in the country. and then we have to see how we can bring to these interstate negotiation start when the aggression stops. but look at it from president putin's point of view and no one really knows what's going on in the side, his head or inside the kremlin. but it's pretty clear that he thinks now this war is existential for him. and for his government, if he loses this war, you'll no longer be in power. so aren't you really saying this war is going to go on until this regime change in moscow? we have to, we prepare that the war can last. we heard that here today from many speakers and we have to be prepared that we keep our unity to handle cleaners and we have to be prepared for justice and peace. why i say just is because that means that we cannot
12:15 pm
allow that someone by for stakes away the lands brakes, all international, no contracts, international rule and all that. we cannot allow that, whether it takes no years. i wish again, ok in one piece wants east. the whole world one space. so i do hope there will be a time when site suites mediator scans seats to that. and if you say it might take years, this is in some ways a war of attrition. and we've already seen that ukraine potentially is using more artillery shells than the factors in the west able to produce. we've also seen that president putin is prepared to loot, use a lot of men. i mean, those convicts that are fighting in the east of ukraine are being used as cannon fodder. he doesn't seem to care how long this war could go on. and so he seems repaired to out last ukraine. are you worried about that?
12:16 pm
absolutely. we're worried and that is why it's less important. we have all these conferences where we are discussing how to bring a to b. c mclean. it's also important that when you speak with partners from 3rd countries to realize there are other conflicts in the world just today we discussed about afghanistan, orita, and women. the situation in this country is conflicts around the world. and we may have to understand globally how to protect international rule and or that if we started violating everything, then we would never be able to. and anyone that is why we have to be clear. and who is the aggressor? who is the one that conducts the war, and it's a ration regime, and we have for that reason defend will grant as long as it is necessary deputy prime minister. thank you very much, tanya. i am the prime minister and foreign minister of slovenia, a discussing for us what i think remains the biggest issue of all the issues being discussed. here are the meanest security conference,
