2:04 pm
those people that have suffered and re living that trauma, that fear of the grand shaping of the buildings shaking gl parts of the buildings falling off. did we living that trauma and that's a psychological impact of people. and they've said to us that they don't know whether they will come back to the cities or not. and that's another task for the government to how did they reinstall that confidence, interfere with people build that confidence so they can come back to some sort of normal life. but yes, the task here is going to be incredibly immense because everywhere you look, no matter how much footage we show you, no matter how much drawn footage we show you, we caught really capture the extent of the damage and destruction that's taken place because of these earthquakes, and of course those tremors are continuing every single day. i said, begging camaros, i said, thank you. no turkish authorities say whiteside psychological support is being provided to help survivors deal with the emotional impact of the quakes that i show
2:05 pm

2:06 pm
shelters, if they don't feel themselves secured. so it's all like solid furshly, it will affect them info. sheena social behavior. i mean, in social way that you'll eat, you leak would have so many multiple, a psychological problems like depression, major depression, be tasty. in some, a personality disorders, even the psychologist say in the upheaval of the earthquakes aftermath, children are particularly vulnerable to miss. so go to visit, i'm get, you know, drink of our youngest daughter is going through a difficult time. she was with her grandmother when she died, like she went crazy being outside in the rain alone while we try to reach her for 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,
2:07 pm
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 don't care. let's go cross to anchor. now, worse than costello's at the headquarters of turkey is emergency management agency . instead i'm rescue efforts and took care. i've been going on for nearly 2 weeks, but they're going to officially end on sunday night. yes, this is a cafe which the some of the citizens in the earthquake area are not happy about because onto the last night we still alive, people be pulled out from under the rebels and people who,
2:08 pm
who haven't been able to contact their relatives or loved ones, in the region, neither in the grays, nor in the hospitals, they are afraid that their family members might still be trapped under the rebels, especially, you know, like ty, where so many buildings have collapse. people with most people complain about this, but the government says the search and rescue operation is going to be finished for the buildings that have been over the inspected and just to not to go. an official statement said there were $200.00 buildings to be inspected after voice, but of course, this is what people are opposite about. but the government says they need to start rebuilding the areas as many citizens have expressed concerns and curiosity about what is going to happen with building houses or apartment. when it took his president was giving a press conference, he mentioned about that. so the government especially preparing for an election in edge mid june,
2:09 pm
it is very important to finish rescue operations and to start to rebuild. so then thank you very much indeed and concern i'll know, talking to us from i'm kind of there on africa meters. and if you open as capital for the final day of the african union summit talk so focused on trade humanitarian issues and violence in democratic republic of congo. and this a hell region when i was close by to markham web in addis ababa markham, there are always a lot of hopes and log optimism put on the summit because there are so many key african leaders there. one of the things has been discussed is how will the responses to the global crises are
2:10 pm
affecting the member states the african union? how will these responses be funded responses to climate change drought. the economic shop caused by the war in recruit, ukraine and the international monetary fund in the world bank. the west and financial institutions have faith going, criticism in recent months for not being capable of dealing with these new crises. and one of the people that being calling for reform of those institutions here is kenya is president william router. he's with me here. what reform i've been calling for at the bretton woods, financial institutions. then multilateral or financial banks on the entire international financial system has not been just and has not been fair. and i've been accountable and only asking if we want to have an even conversation. we want to, we do not want
2:11 pm
a financial system that say about us, we want a fair what i think found today the current financial set up say about the global, against the global stuff. why do i say that today development find none. you can, you cannot fit for kenya, for example. and most of african state zambia, the government. in fact, all 4 brain states that have gone to the international financial market, the api and the way i around 10 percent our patio in the global not paying anywhere between 0.05 percent, 0 point one percent. clearly we are accessing developing finances. 5 $100.00
2:12 pm
times more expensive than they do. they have mentioned from the financial institution that is not fair. and that is why we have found ourselves where we are . and that is why we are saying that current financial set up is rigged against those in the global south, especially in the continental africa. if you go to their financial market today, we are paying $100.00 times more than our friends in the global north of pain and seeing if we have to fund the development that we have. we have to change the financial system. it is not for us. it is unjust, it is not accountable. and we are saying the same financial set up today or financial system today, gave us the meta, the fair, but they say about those who pollute,
2:13 pm
they get development finance cheaper than we do. but who are not for those of us who are not in meet us are being punished for not being meet us. we are paying and i'm, and we are paying a 100 times more than a lot compared to the global not. and that is why we say we need that, we need to re design, we need a new system that understands what he's accountable. that makes those who have brought us here to the climate crisis that we have to meet us there for us . they need to be held to account for that and accountable system that doesn't punish the nice polluters and doesn't do what the most, those who need the most assistance that works for everybody. and we are not asking for any pay, but we're not asking for $15.00 that we are asking for assistance that either. so the climate crisis is widely blamed for the drought effecting east africa and the
2:14 pm
horn of africa, the worst in decades. and that's left according to the un, more than 4000000 people in kenya hungry in need of help. what are you doing to help them for your information? it isn't, it is high and typically proven. it is not something from the blue. if you sign typically proven that the current situation, the drought situation in can now in other parts of the globe in other parts of africa, is as a result of climate change. it is the reality. what are you doing for 1000000 people in kenya and what it is, but the situation is getting was 6000000 people in kenya i faced with to be at drought before i came here on friday, we had a big meeting with development partners on what the government is doing, we re routing. we are reorganizing our budget. we have already spend close to 30000000000 shillings on feeding or not facing food for livestock on
2:15 pm
water trucking. we are, we are going to be organized the dell, but get some more because the situation is getting better. the situation is getting worse. so we have re, assigning resources meant for development. we saw says men for food resources meant for hospitals to feed people, to feed life and dcea, we're going to have the 5th consecutive year or fade range. depending on is not getting better. getting what to do. you see we have including wildlife. i'm trying to show to time, let me squeeze in one more question, democratic republic of congo canyon soldiers that there hasn't been any notable progress in resolving the conflict, which is widely understood between seated between rwanda and congo canyons can into today. we were there a couple of weeks ago, people are now taking to the streets of goma, demanding the canyon to lead because they say the canyon soldiers haven't done
2:16 pm
anything. and they say that the canyon should, i believe or help them by help them. they mean fight and 23 or even fight the rwandan soldiers have been photographed among and 23 is. can you ready to fight and 23 or even rwanda in congress? can you ready to do what we agree as the east african head of we had a meeting on sunday. we agreed on that timeline is to can that is the only country deployed in in d. c. it was agreed that 5 countries deploy only can have deployed. we are waiting and we have agreed that by end of this month, all the other countries will deploy. we have agreed on a metric of deployment. we have agreed on a course of action. we have agreed that this military intervention is going to be in parallel with a political engagement of the combatants on the ground, empty,
2:17 pm
and all the other fighting forces for that. we can give us the best opportunity to succeed. these cannot be so that that would militarily alone, it has to be formed by an effort between a military talk and a political talk. and we have agreed to see on the way forward. thank you mister president. william retail, the president, and kenya, here at the african union in addis ababa back to you in doha. ah, miss alice or stock building in the city in capital damascus, killing at least 5 people. local reports say they were fired by israeli forces. the building is said to be near a large security complex and close to iranian installations. last month, 4 people were killed in an israeli strike and damascus international airport. the only been man at home is a senior researcher at the jerusalem center for public affairs, and he explains why the area was targeted. the objective is to swore to the
2:18 pm
end of the iranian to smuggle a correct weapon to syria, for these bela and for the syrian army. iranians are taking advantage of the disaster, the bigger earthquake that happened and try to smuggle a sophisticated weapons, a claiming that this is a humanitarian aid. and of course, the soil is a very accurate intelligence, and it's a result there was and he's really attacked by a contrary to what the syrian is saying. he's really attack was the way a suicide area where the building was. he is really military source, is a claim that the what happened there, the people who got killed it was a result of an explosion of
2:19 pm
a syrian ref. the side that exploded that they're not that he's really gone. we don't know, many of whom is a coming out this morning for god's us 3, claiming that the aim of the for me is really for me was to assist in a, a fishing ok. let me kid. she had it, but there's no confirmation for that. and as i said the, these earlier take, according to military sources, it was in sway barrier and not in there. so, so let's return to our top story. now. the ask ranks in northern syria where the united nations team has arrived to find out what age it can provide. the delegations toward the rebel held ton of genders were in time, neighborhoods have been destroyed. more than 5000000 people have been left homeless in syria alone. the u. n. has been criticized for it's slow response and delivering aid to syria is most affected areas. a baby pulled from the rubble is now being
2:20 pm
looked after by the family of her uncle. maybe 5 lost her parents and siblings when the queen devastated the town of genders and monica has more baby after being welcomed into her new home. her parents and siblings died when the quake struck her uncle cleo wanted to take her in right away, but took several days before she was allowed to join his household. now she's back with family sitting long cycles own newborn daughter i a poplar for in the will that that offer was born under the rubble. she was at the hospital and we received her today. she is in good condition. the reason behind the delay receiving her is that we were asked for some legal procedures by the officials in the area. and they checked that we were her relatives. off road was found under the ruins of her family's home and she was apparently born under the rebel. her umbilical cords
2:21 pm
still connecting her to her dead mother. despite the loss of all her immediate family offers, discovery made her a symbol of hope as rescuer. search for survivors, gender, it is one of the towns that was worst hit by the earthquake. as un convoy of more than a $140.00 trucks full of 8 arrived in northwest syria. officials made a point of visiting mirror. i'm shocked by the construction. i've never seen anything like it all my life. she's neat, particular shelter. where these fresh water, they have medically, mice, really, survivors of the quake wait for the help they need. they'll have to rely on each other. more than ever. than monahan, al jazeera, the grain war on us, china relations are dominating the agenda on the final day of the munich security conference, the european union leaders of called for urgent access to more ammunition and financial aid for ukraine. meanwhile, china's top diplomat twang ye has urged the u. s. secretary of state antony
2:22 pm
blinking to resolve the damage to ties between the 2 nations held talks for the 1st time since washington accused beijing of sending a spy balloon into its aerospace, a diplomatic editor james base. as more from munich that meeting between secretary blinkin and wang ye, the talk chinese foreign policy official was interesting and important, but it was brief and it was pretty tense. i don't think it in any way puts china and the us back on much better footing and certainly a new date has not been set for a proper summit between the 2. remember secretary blinking was about to go to beijing when that spy balloon was shot down over a north american air space. no new date has been set up for that meeting at perhaps more important in terms of things that of emerged during this summer because the chinese say they've got some sort of piece plan from ukraine. now. european and us
2:23 pm
officials rather skeptical about that. or they say they're not really going to think that's an important development till they see the details of the chinese suggesting the details might come out in the coming days as we approach the anniversary at the end of next week, the one year anniversary, much of the activity here at munich, security conference as it had been about the war and ukraine in that one year anniversary. very keen, i think both the u. s. and the europeans to get everyone on the same page. still keep all these allies together and stop any cracks. emerging in the, the alliance south korea and the us have held a joint air drills in response to north korea saturday. miss, i launch the exercise included long range bombers. and fighter jets comes hours after north korea find an intercontinental ballistic missile defense defense minister. he says the miss r landed inside what it calls it's exclusive economic zone. robin bryan has more from soul on pyongyang, latest launch. they have in recent task been developing. and this same technique
2:24 pm
whereby they deploy, set up a missile and fire it a lot shipped fairly quickly a by, by doing that, you give your adversaries less chance to detect that you're launching a missile to try to disrupt the missile launch or try to intercept. so they have been working on this technique. this is described by the north koreans. it's been a while song 15. this is one of the icbm since continental ballistic missiles they have been developing. it fell short of the northern japanese island of her kite. after flying around 900 kilometer east, 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
2:25 pm
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, palestinians, and ok bodies, jerusalem, observing a general strike as part of a coal for civil disobedience. there protesting against the increased crack down by is ready for the use in the palestinian shore. fun refugee camp as well as a nearby town of i'm not. military raids have encountered almost daily protesters and also calling for the void cause of israeli institutions. for the 1st time, scientists from hong kong have been allowed to take part in china as a space program. beijing is looking for new talent to realizes ambitious plans. jessica washington reports from hong kong. 321,

2:28 pm
can contribute with the city space museum is where many young people get their 1st glimpse the rest of the galaxy for young people. they would seriously consider the interesting style of the way of sancho, of direction of their sites were such. and it's hoped some of these young people will have a future beyond permit. a. jessica washington out to sierra hong kong to stay with us for our special coverage of the ukraine was coming up in a couple of minutes. we're going to explore how the conflict is affecting the global energy markets. we're going to be back with more and all the latest news stories in about half an hour on rob matheson goodbye. ah
