2:07 pm
so many survivors came here. they're staying in their cars, they also new tents. they suffer as much as we do. they may survive in terms of food, but they have no place to stay. there are a couple of factors explaining why ers in was not severely damaged. it's next to a fault line expert, say that fault line did not shift. there is a mountain next to ers, then that is creating a barrier. and the city is at a higher see level, which means the ground is harder. buildings are constructed on bedrock and for years the city has strictly enforced building codes and the use of proper construction materials given how well ers in has fared. people from heavily impacted areas and had tie province have now come here seeking refuge. natasha name el jazeera ers in turkey. ha, well that sounds peter. i said bag he joins as line from that hard head area as

2:18 pm
on out there. tough times, the man tough question is, what exactly are you asking for you? what the troops on the ground, the rigorous the rate we challenge conventional wisdom racism is so deeply entrenched in the country that is identified with america. so when you challenge racism, it looks as if you're challenging almera and to man the truth. there is no serious discussion about this because it goes to the very root of you. we are up front with me, mark lamb on hill on al jazeera lou . wow, ah
2:19 pm
ha, you're watching al jazeera, i miss darcy. hey here in durham, let's remind you of our top stories. more than 45000 people are confirmed dead into kia and syria after last week's earthquakes. the focus is now shifting to relief efforts and helping the millions of people in need of humanitarian assistance. while these tremors have displaced entire communities, the turkish vice president has said more than a 1000000 people are now living and tenant. and another new south korea's military has a huge north korea firing, a ballistic missile towards the sea, off its east coast. japan's defense ministry says the method has landed in its territorial waters and that it was intercontinental ballistic missile class. or senior defense visuals and wild leaders are currently meeting at the annual munich security conference for a 2nd day of talks there. the war in ukraine is front of mind. european commission, president us lab on july and has been speaking of the event and called on allies to
2:20 pm
double down their support for q renewable energy, which ukraine needs to survive economically. and their, um, it's good that we now have decided to have a regular budget support for ukraine. $1500000000.00 per month by the european union. our american friends are matching that. and i think the international financial institutions should be, should to do more for that also. so it is the time to step up because of ukraine really needs the material to survive. well, let's now speak to our diplomatic editor james base. he's in munich, forest, james, another show of solidarity. we're seeing here with ukraine. yes, and i think those comments from the president of the european commission are important . in fact, during her comments, she picked up on an idea that's come from the estonian prime minister. kind of class who raised this, i think about 10 days ago,
2:21 pm
a meeting of european leaders in brussels. and that's to use a cove. it model the way that europe banded together to purchase vaccine to perhaps use that for re armaments in ukraine because one of the problems at the moment is ammunition. we know that the, the ukrainians are expanding a huge amount of artillery shells, apparently that they're expending more artillery shells than are being manufactured by western factories. so she is calling for a new push and europe to work together to try to increase the vents. manufacturing, clearly the issue of ukraine is the issue that's center stage here pushing out some of the other issues. interesting that there are obviously lots of other leaders with other issues that are trying to raise them here. one connected issue, of course, is the situation in bella rues and i spoke earlier on to sweat on addition, off sky. the opposition leader of valerie said,
2:22 pm
put it to her that the subject of banner is even though it was linked to ukraine, was getting somewhat ignore this was her reply a pregnancy as in, ah dearest has been an and an indian or some people, allan and, and unity european union is when and i am sure that said the war in ukraine view it over. we did the 3. well, she cranium people and each of the our common the 3. but i also understand that the war cannot be over until beatrice is free until the teeth look. i sent that is a, this is the power and to control by foods and they will be going from threat to our neighboring countries. so until democracy comes to the other as they should fight or altogether to be consistent until v d in our independent securities, been very tight is always very tight for an event like this, but very tight in the last few minutes. and that's because the u. s. vice president cabella harris has gone back into the hotel where the munich security conference is
2:23 pm
held and she's going to give her address. and i suspect that also as the rest of this conference will be centered on ukraine. so we watching very closely her comments and reporting to them to you later on. well, thanks very much for that, james. we'll leave it there for now. james bears are dramatic editor at the munich security conference for us in germany. thanks, james. well, nearly a year has passed since rush and launch to its full scale invasion of ukraine. and you can watch and special coverage of the one year anniversary of the ukraine war. starting right here at 1130 g m t very shortly. i clean up is underway in new zealand after a site cone ravaged its east coast and the storm made landfall and the north violent on monday, killing at least 9 people. thousands are still missing the weather forecast there is to improve during the weekend. a rob johnson is a spokesman for the civil defense emergency management group. he says, around a 1000 people are still cut off from any communication. at the moment,

2:27 pm
from my degree. elections are only days away, major area, the presidency and seats in parliament are being contested. but critically one groups having too much influence on the boat state governors. i think a lot of anger about governance in nigeria actually goes to these governors because the impunity of this governors, the army. so all the are bad governors is part of the pin that my insurance i glean true. since 9 years returned to democracy night tonight, tonight we are state governors of invoice or becomes president with full access to state funds and resources. they can choose tended. it's for political office, anybody as batting to be president of course you will have to tag roots to we do go from those because of the a quin activity of the governor's anti grassroots. but critics and activists say
2:28 pm
such power weiss harming democracy and governors in nigeria, and they wanted reduced limiting their powers to require amendment to the constitution and the electron law with increasing number of governors getting elected into a parliament that supposed to be strangers. neither is we'll have to wait longer for that to happen. so we're hoping these elections will mark a turn around with a woman. now the front runner for state governor post a big step in a male dominated society. but until then, little it's expected to change pa, to politics and governors in africa's most populous country. how many degrees al jazeera my degree? well, that's it for me is darcy at a. i stay with us there as we begin our week long, special coverage at the one year anniversary. the ukraine will
