normally we'd not looters were not looted their own goods. they say i have to clarify on this all just we will try to survive. all we have is last day. let me let me of it is every offer what the state or people will give us in aid will only last a week and then we'll be hungry. we have children, we must survive. and what we built in the last 30 years is gone. we had 3 houses and now we're in a tent does have a garmin mirage. the search continues even at this stage, some clinger to hope as every one fall silent, rescuers use their equipment to search for any sign of life. the earthquakes took away lives and homes, but some things can't be taken didn't we lost everything? i took some pages of the koran out. i only memories left nothing else left. it's all gone behind. this was my shop. all the families had gone. a page of the quote

online in the box in front of a tent. the mutual rivalry of this world diverts you until you visit the graves. the verses say to many, this city is now a graveyard. all i said, joining us no from the city of carmen rush, i said rebuilding and recovery 2 words that we're gonna probably hear a lot of when it comes to, to kia and city, of course, over the next few months. but the scale of the destruction, particularly where you are, is really overwhelming. absolutely. when you start talking about recovery and rebuilding, when you look at the state of the city, you just realized the task ahead for the government everywhere. you look and upset that many times no matter how much we feel, no matter how much drawing footage we show to our view is you can't really capture how much destruction is. the vastness of it. and of course, the issue of aftershocks has been thousands of aftershocks since that initials

those 2 initial earthquakes. and we've, we've been feeling them to right. but last night was one of the stronger ones around 5.3 are. now what that does is for the people that have lived through these f clase, is it, it instilled that? yeah, it's almost like reliving that trauma because they live through those to have quakes . many don't have any homes living in tensile living another temporary accommodation when they feel those after struct, especially like the one around 5.3 of the richter scale, it real lives. that trauma does it like a logical impact when you speak to people had to talk about the psychological impact. these crates have had. i spoke to people that said we may return, we may not, but firstly, we need to go to a headset. i can just show you here, runs the destruction. this hotel is still standing. now we were here yesterday and after the after shock return this morning and there's been new damage to the side of this hotel, new cracks have emerged. now of course, there's always that risk that those, those buildings that are still standing,

that may be damaged. and because of the aftershocks, it's still posed a considerable risk to those around them. and this isn't the task for the authorities that even the buildings off standing may have to be demolished and rebuilt. and in this case, this entire city may have to be rebuilt as a big talking to us from kind of my mulash i. so thank you. roughly 14000000 people who took years, se have been affected by the devastation. many families have no idea about where to go or what to do next. that her name followed a team of clinical psychologists offering support in the city of antonia. they survived that no one here has been spared the anguish. their stories are excruciating to hear, let alone live through on the maclay with them, i lost my mother and brother in law. i had to carry his body from the 8th floor and

my mother was dropped on the 1st floor level. we took their bodies out with our bare hands because the rescue teams could not reach us the 1st day. it was pouring rain. god turn this place into a helm that day. lots of we follow to clinical psychologists with the turkish red crescent into this camp for displaced people. well they listen, hold, hands with offer pads on the back and play games with children take here sometimes just offering a blanket or a cup of coffee is comfort enough in that moment. if they don't have deer secure shelters, if they don't feel themselves secure. so it's will like so that fortunately it will effect them info in a social behavior. i mean, in social way that you eat you, we could have so many multiple, a psychological problem like depression, major depression, be tasty. in some personality disorders,

even the psychologist say in the upheaval of the earthquakes aftermath, children are particularly vulnerable to me. so go to visit, i'm get, you know, think of, of our youngest daughter is going through a difficult time. she was with her grandmother when she died, that she was crazy, being outside in the rain alone while we try to reach her. we're trying to heal ourselves. god willing, we will. the president of the turkish red crescent says it's ability to provide mental health services to survivors is quote, humble, considering the enormous need required in the coming weeks, months and years. and that's why sustained international aid is essential. people repeatedly say they're feeling hopeless and helpless. but over time, experts say their collective trauma can also lead to a communal healing. natasha name al jazeera and tucker turkey. i went

to northern syria now for the united nations teams arrived to find out what 8 it can provide in the wake of those devastating earthquakes. but allegations toward the rebel held tone of genders. when in time neighborhoods have been destroyed, more than 5000000 people have been left homeless and city alone. the one's been criticized for its slow response and delivering aid to serious. most affected areas were here today to pay out the back and conducted the victim to the earthquake just now that $100.00 people died in the 2 houses of the 3 heart rending that we had to pay respect, but also to see what the needs are for the survivors ah, the secretary of state met senior chinese diplomat one year in munich for the 1st time since washington accused beijing, sending a spy button into space. us fighter jets shot down the balloon over the atlantic

area this month. andrew berlington says he made it clear that the violations of american aerospace must never happen again. whining is calling the response hysterical insisting it was a weather balloon that blew off course. there was no apology. but what i can also tell you is this was an opportunity to speak very clearly and very directly about the fact that china sent a surveillance balloon over our territory, violating our sovereignty, violating international law. and i told him quite simply that that was unacceptable . and can never happen again. were of course not the only ones on the receiving end of the surveillance balloons. more than 40 countries. i've had the balloon fly over them in recent years. and that's been exposed to the world. you know, my kind of has more from washington dc just a couple of weeks after postponing his visit to china. the us secretary of state

held a meeting with china's top a diplomat, wang ye. and it was made very clear that blunt words were exchanged between the 2 under discussion of course, that balloon incident to which the us shot down, claiming it was a spy balloon, a balloon which china said was there for the collection of weather data. after the meeting, the us secretary of state issued a tweet in which he said, just met with a p. r. c's, top diplomat wang ye. i condemned the incursion of the p. r. c. surveillance balloon and stressed it must never happen again. i warn china against providing material support to russia. i also emphasize the importance of keeping open lines of communication. as the great fear that has been expressed by the bite and ministration is that mistakes could occur. should there be no clear lines of communication between the 2 countries, but another issue added in there. clearly the balloon was not the only method

discussed at the secretary of state making very clear that china has been warned against providing any material aid to russia in its operations in ukraine. it said that there will be consequences. what these consequences are, have not been made clear, but this is another issue that could the devil relations between the u. s. and china, in the weeks and months to come on, china talk diplomat has responded saying, washington must men the damage to relations caused by the incident. and the mom because the senior research fellow with a center for china and globalization, it says washington is engaging in double standards. a weather balloon, collecting weather information, certainly can have a military use are. so i think it's very unclear here. and i think it's also important to point out that certainly up louis complaining about this violation of

sovereignty does sound a little bit hypocritical. i mean, we go back decades with the u. s. engaging in this kind of alleged conduct all around the world. so i think we really should take this out with a bit of a grain of salt, and there also is a narrative battle taking place here. and once upon a time, the u. s. certainly could credibly warn china war in any other country around the world. i'll but i think the geopolitical realities are shifting and how, what a credible this warning is, i think remains to be seen as we see. not only china, but other countries around the world, increasingly able to act with a greater degree of autonomy free from usaa coersion. perhaps we could call it that meeting happened on the sidelines of a security conference in munich, where china senior diplomat also announced beijing. we propose a peace plan for ukraine on the anniversary of the war. western leaders have

responded cautiously, which is surely wish our hotel she that she may be some forces that do not want peace talks to succeed. do not want the war to stop any time soon. law, what they care about is not the life and the death of the ukrainian people, nor the increasing damage to europe. they probably have bigger strategic goals than ukraine. this war can't go on any longer. our diplomatic editor james base has been speaking to leaders of the munich security conference for the water ukraine as being top of the agenda. as you might expect here at the being execute hears he conference, we've had a messages from a host of different western leaders saying that they are fully backing presidents lensky and the ukrainians. at this time, one of those was the president of the european commission. ursula, on the line, she says that they continue very strongly the e u countries to back ukraine. but i asked her, when is it the time for the fighting to stop and the negotiations to start?

what ukraine is concert, i think very important is nothing about ukraine without ukraine. it's a sovereign country. and ukraine itself has to decide when the time has come for them to make the next move. this is far very important. we support fully and back fully as a piece plan of president zalinski. and at the moment being 100 percent support are focused on the survival of ukraine military wise, that they are strong and economically wise. and again, nothing about ukraine without you mean there's a problem there isn't there about what ukraine needs? ukraine keep saying it needs more. and one of the key things right now is ammunition. i'm told in terms of artillery such shells. they're using more than western arms. factories are producing, how are you going to deal with that problem? yes, what we're going to do on the european level is that we are convening the european defense industry. basically ask them, what is it,

what you need to scale up to speed up. that's important because we have these infrastructure for that the european piece, facility and o'clock. they are used to do the procurement and to have the funding and important is like we did with the vaccine to be very clear. this is a standardized production of ammunition. what is it, where do you need to scale up and to speed up? we're gonna give it to you on the front lines of the war in ukraine. moscow says it's forces are making games in the hockey region. it claims have taken control of a village near ukraine, 2nd largest city of coffee, russian forces have been advancing in the area since cave reclaimed control of the city. in september. a miss alice struck a building in the city and capital damascus, killing at least 5 people local report since been fired by israeli forces. the building said to be near a large security complex and close to iranian installations. bossman for 4 people were killed in an israeli strike on damascus international, airport palestinians,

they want to go to 0 reminder what top stories this our relief efforts are continuing across tortilla and syria. after 2 death quakes left over 46000 dead. millions homeless, thousands of people are living in camps are completely dependent on age. the u. s. secretary of state has mapped senior chinese diplomats one year for the 1st time since washington accused beijing of sending as i balloon into its aerospace. as me bring can says violations of american aerospace must never happen again. why is calling response hysterical? while leaders are meeting for the final day of the munich security conference, the president of the commission as called for urgent access to more ammunition and financial aid for ukraine. south korea and the us have held a joint air drill in response to north korea's miss. our launch comes hours after north korea fight an intercontinental ballistic miss of japan's defense minister.

he says the miss are landed inside it's exclusive economic zone. the sister of north korean leader kim's on and has warned the u. s. to stop what she calls, all eyes threatening pyongyang, security, rama bright, has more from so on pyongyang latest launch. they have in recent tasks, been developing this technique whereby they deploy, set up a missile and fire it. lordship fairly quickly. by doing that, you give your adversaries less chance to detect that you're launching a miss outs. tried to disrupt the missile launcher, tried to intercept is that they have been working on this technique. this is described by the north koreans. it's been a while long 15. this is one of the icbm since continental ballistic missiles they have been developing. it fell short of the northern japanese island off her kite after flying around 900 kilometers disease. most interesting though, is the last the trajectory of this miss. alec flew up nearly 6000 kilometers to an

altitude of nearly 6000 kilometer before falling down to earth. again, that's very similar to a trajectory for another icbm lloyd's last november, and they reckoned that if you translate that into distance traveled over the surface that would put the continental united states within range. so this is a significant launch. the north korean say that they have carried this out. now, as part of that testing program, they resume their icbm testing from last year. but it also does send a message. they are angry about exercises that will be held between south korean and us forces this spring. mason richey is a specialist in north korea. i'd associate professor of international politics at hancock university. it says john young is likely to continue miss el tests in response to military exercises between the u. s. and south korea. this is a significant launch, but i think it's not so much significant because of the underlying technology. the was on 15, has been in some form likely deployed for

a while now. and in that sense, what was interesting about the test was that north korea reports that the decision to launch this was given without warning to the launch cur is. and so this doesn't seem so much like it was a test, especially of the underlying technology as it was a drill for the launch cruise. and i think we're going to see that going forward with some of these legacy systems that already exist, in addition to testing programs for other missiles, especially on solid fuel icbm. the message i think here is that north korea is not happy with the ramping up of military exercises between the u. s. and south korea, which will take place in march. there's also a tabletop exercise that will look at nuclear scenarios that will happen between the u. s. and south korea next week. and i think north korea sending a message that it is unhappy with that and it will fight fire. fire african leaders are gathering anything opium capital for the final day of the african union. summit
