ah, wherever you go in the world, one airline goes to make it for you. exceptional katara lawyers going places to go examining the impact of today's headlines. this is what is the one of our ensuring that like one can continue and then count on that. setting the agenda for tomorrow's discussions. i don't believe that, i think in the fantasy that is willing to kill international filmmakers and world class journalists, bring programs to inform and inspire you need to have a media ensuring that voices are heard on al jazeera. ah ah.

hello there, i'm this darcy, attain this is the news. our lie from our headquarters here and our ha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. you are a secretary of state and me blinking touches down an earthquake, devastated to kia, just as the search for some bibles is set to be called off. we could have so many multiple psychological problems like depression, major depression, p t, s d, who speak to quake survivors inter key in syria about how they've been living through best disaster the ukraine war and us china relations continue to dominate the munich security conference and african solutions to african problems, the core from leaders meeting and ethiopia for the 2nd day of the new summit. announce on hamilton, i have the latest sports news. james anderson stars for england as they crash new zealand. and the 1st fact ah

m. when we begin this news i into king where us secretary of state and state blinkin, is touring some of the west head areas nearly 2 weeks now on from those 2 at craig that devastation the region. more than 46000 people have died. he's touring an area that's been badly impacted. the turkish government has at least 84000 buildings. and more than 370000 homes have even been destroyed or are too damaged to be used. the visit comes just as tricky as emergency services agency has called an end to search and rescue efforts. for those who have survived, the situation is extremely difficult. the un estimates over 5000000 people in syria alone have been left homeless by these quakes. there are no official numbers, inter k, but the impact area has a population of about 14000000. we have a team of correspondents covering this disaster across the region. but let's begin

with and coffee. in ankara, she is at the headquarters of turkey is emergency management agency. i'm obviously un us secretary said anthony blinking is that having a look around what is he seeing well, this is the 1st visit by the us secretary of state. true. yeah. after he resumed his seat 2 years ago, that's why it is important in 2 ways because it's a 1st visit that of course, at this visit and to show solidarity was true. and besides the earthquake, the damages, et cetera. there are some other important topics for the turkish and american diplomats to discuss especially tomorrow. today he will be flying over the earthquake of areas with his church counterpart, maybe chola via helicopter, and he will be brief, a by the by the forces underground about the situation in earthquake areas

the need and what else the united states can support your care with of course, it is very important that he will also be visiting the white helmets representatives. the leading rescue group in syria as syria has also hardly been hit by the february 6th that the earthquake. he will then be flying to the turkish capital and tomorrow he's expected to be received by the turkish president, john, and he will be meeting with the turkish foreign minister and to top the month will be holding a joint press conference in the presidential complex. it's moral and besides the earthquake, as i said, there's an important topic which is the native bid for the 2 nordic countries way to and from then a couple of days ago, nato secretary general was also in the capsule on crafts meeting with turkish president and turkish foreign minister and the purpose of the visit was of course

showing solidarity and support to, to care about. again, the same topic was on the table. and turkish president harshly is against the approval the membership, the cation of sweden butts. he is open to approve finance application, which is not welcomed by the western countries and other nato allies, as many of them expect to nordic countries to become members as soon as possible, but took it says sweden is not complying with the commitments that 3 countries signed last summer and, but just i would like to express that the people we have spoken to so far a haven't been that much happy that it just during your visit to show solidarity about the earthquake nato, sweden and finland natal membership being brought up or hasn't been much welcomed by the officials in the capital ongoing, the turkish capital a but definitely this is one of the unavoidable topics as it is very important for

nato and very important for the united states. because at washington also has to prove that they have the leverage. they have the power to persuade a, the turkish authorities about these 2 nordic states memberships. but of course, it is important that a secretary general, this coming to through ken. and if they have also pledged $8.00 to $58.00 to $5000000.00 of aid and many medical and missionary supplies to help earthquake it's areas. cynical, sorry ali the across that visit to for us from ankara in turkey. 8. thank you so much. sent him. well, as an am was saying, lincoln is visiting some of the west head areas that from the quakes rebuilding those areas will be overwhelming. how cars one and i said bag isn't caught them on my dash where the quakes have destroyed and tie in neighborhoods. yes sir, it is here trying to clear away some of the rubble, but the task ahead of them is absolutely huge because it's not just about the destroyed buildings, the buildings that remain

a very badly damaged so they will have to be demolished. and the authorities have to try to rebuild from the start, but the damage to the city is so vast that we can't capture it. in our video footage of wire drawn footage is that huge parts of this city have been completely demolished. but when you speak to earthquake survivors, they talk about the mental trauma that they are suffering from. since the 2 earthquakes, there have been thousands of tremors. now every time those are felt by the people, it makes them re live that trauma, that trauma, that they went through suffering from the earth, pick some of those people are pulled out from the rebels. many have lost their loved ones, and this isn't over yet. so once the government deals with the initial tragedy of clearing up the rubble and dealing with the damaged buildings, they're going to have to attend to the psychological needs of the people to try to re instilled that confidence in them that they can return to their cities. a survey, i'd just hit her head on my rush for them to hear when it's in speak to ben,

it's nick. he's in intac air intake here. then, and we've been hearing that authority is our st mask. our patients will be ending today. that must have been a terribly to a very difficult decision mistake, but we're 2 weeks on now from quake. and the chances of finding people alive with diminished almost, it's almost an impossible task instead. now is that demolition operation really behind me? that is one of the bill is they were just using heavy machinery to try and pull it down. i'm surrounded by buildings. i lot that have gotta come down because they're too dangerous of the mean time round where i am just in that group of people that these are rescues from pakistan. and this is now a recovery operation. they believe there are maybe 3 bodies yet very colors wrong inside that building. and that is what we are seeing now, where people believe there are forty's left in buildings of all of the statistics

that we're hearing. the 12000000 people affected the more than 1000000 homeless and the more than 46000 dead. we're not hearing how many people are still missing. the turkish government hasn't given that figure because they just don't know. we do know, 345 pounds homes, at least i've been destroyed in the quite homes like those behind me. and of course, in every home that was a family. so the fear is that the death toll will rise much, much higher because they're only identifying in the death toll those that they only know, counting the death, all those who been identified bodies are not identified, an accounted and that's at least half the dad. plus, there are many, many people still missing who may not be recovered. state ben smith for, for us on the ground and, and i can take care. thank you. and how so many hospitals damaged by the act quakes

now? attack his military ship has been turned into a makeshift panic. i'm attacked, bella hassan has more from southwestern tickle and michelle. he can just, i mean had he tell you, we are at the calendar in port in high state. this area is the most affected by the earthquakes that had too many hospitals were damaged as a result. and in order to lend a helping hand to the medical efforts this military ship were about to board has been turned into a makeshift field hospital and had in recent days, this hospital ship has been treating victims more than 4000 people so far. the 1st thing we see boarding the ship is the reception and registration area. the hospital focuses on more than treating survivors. a baby was also delivered here to come up and actually let you know, in addition, other specialized sections including pediatric, surgery, cardiology and others. it's a fully fledged hospital with all the necessary medical equipment, and that's when you read that out. obama. well, here at the mac. um, if we take a look,

there is an emergency tree on word on how much and the unit with ultrasound machines . what am i at some, a time when my, how you come with, i will not have you had to have eaten. this section is labels rent unit, which is dedicated treating patients who are in critical condition. some look, i don't wanna thus, we're obama. here's another with an ultrasound machine. as you can see, as we said, this warrant has more than 120 beds. and these are some of the victims who are still receiving treatment. cohen and michelle people that are going to be, you can call and have as much as i am at sea and massage if it had to be this turkish navy makeshift hospital is doing its part to help the people in the aftermath of the earthquakes. it's about what took all this now speak to wrestle santa, who is outside the tent city and take care se in town as the here hereto. as you're saying, i many as there is in the tense there i believe from across the board. and that's

great. so here know in intensity in esla here and right here that have dozens and dozens of the city of families. a living here so that they did houses and that there were nearby had been either collapsed or they had been heavily damaged or there are steel. the div cracks there, so the authorities decided that that houses are definitely not habitable. so that's why they set up this tentative right after the earthquake. and now it's home to hundreds of the syrians ends dozens and dozens of the syrian families here to have been just talking to them. and the shared story here is that they flat the war in syria. they came to turkey for a policy for life, and they stayed in the refugee camps on the turkish side for over 4 years. then they had been loved to get out of that the refugee camps. and many of them have built some of the that the houses, which were not that much lecture is we're still home and some of them rented the

homes here. they have been living here for 5 years. and then trying to build a new to make a new life here however, they have been called in the, in the earthquakes that the da da earthquakes that it be guess recorded in the country throughout the last of the last century. so in tricky roughly, there are around for a, for 1000000 serious we're living here and this did the promise of garcia's tap is having around 1000000 of them. and many of them are already lost the relatives, families, friends in the war, back in syria. but now those who survived are here and going through a new tragedy and new disaster, and they're trying to find the way how to continue from from that want. so that was not far from here, but also the brought border crossings. bobbitt have arbor, sell am, and 2 of the last 2 weeks since it would be hid the country here, they have seen hundreds and hundreds of the dead bodies belonging to this,

that the syrian refugees he had been taken back to, to syria, to be buried. there and the families as while houses of the families were just trying to cross the border to get back to syria at least, to attend to the burial of their, their beloved ones. or to meet up those who survived the relative their loved ones as well. there, so this is the common story here now, however, for those who are surviving here, my impression of the talking to them and seen that listening their stories, the future doesn't seem to be promising. i have just talked to an elderly man here a little ago. he has stayed under the rubble for 3 days with his wife. so he said that for hours and hours he was trying to pull out his, his, his wife. however, she just by beard and, and poke in about an elderly man that is over 70 years old. so that the rescue teams how be have managed to take him out of the rubble over as i said, his wife,

dad. and i asked he died and asked him, so what he is going to do now from that one. he said, if that there wasn't the war in syria and it had the opportunity who would like to go back to his country and to die in his home country for awful stories that wrong a companion my toilet wrestle, sadder and is the hair on the border on the to care side. thank you again. jason. well, across the board and a united nations team has arrived enrolled in syria to find out what a that can provide in the wake of those devastating squeaks. the delegation has toward the rebel held ton of gender, as when entire neighborhood had been destroyed. more than 5000000 people, as we've been saying, have been left to homeless in theory alone. the un has been criticized for it's so response and delivering aid to syria is most affected areas. well, some good news that a baby pulled from the rubble is now being looked after by the family. if uncle, maybe i for the last her parents and her siblings when the quake devastated the

town of jan. dare as i've been to monahan has the baby for 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 it 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'll 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. i was found under the ruins of her families home and she was apparently born under the rebel her umbilical cord 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. generous is one of the towns that was worst hit by the

earthquake. as un convoy of more than 140 trucks full of 8 arrived in northwest syria. officials made a point of visiting their shop by the construction. i've never seen anything like it. all my life needs shelter before the fresh water. they have medical, the survivors of the quake wait for the help they need. they'll have to rely on each other. more than ever since monahan al jazeera will turkish author, rti say widespread psychological support has been provided to help survivors deal with the emotional impact of these quite. and ashley game has been speaking with a team of clinical psychologists working and talk to you they survived. but no one here has been spared the anguish. their stories are excruciating to hear, let alone live through. on 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. we took their bodies out with our bare hands because the rescue teams could not reach us the 1st day. it was brought in rain. god turn this place into a hell that day. we follow to clinical psychologists with the turkish red crescent into this camp for displaced people. they listen, hold hands up the offer pads on the back and play games with children. 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 thought, fortunately, it will affect them in force in a social behavior. i mean, in social way that you, we, you, we could have so many, multiple,

a psychological problems like depression, major depression, be testy in some, a personality disorders, even though psychologist say in the upheaval of the earthquakes aftermath, children are particularly vulnerable. could you me through your visit? i'm get you to think 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. 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 thrive. ivers 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. amid so much destruction, a group of activists is honoring some of the quakes. youngest victims of volunteers have tied red balloons. as you can see outside the homes of children who died in the athletics and had time to care, organize the say, it's just a small gesture to acknowledge the pain of grieving families. voice cinemas is urgent. let us on. he didn't believe me every time we tire blew my head hurts. we have tied up to 1500 balloon so far, but will hopefully continue until we reach all parts of the city until we reach every home of the children who lost their lives. while they're still plenty more ahead, this means our including how china's ambitious space program is offering new opportunities to scientists in hong kong and, and sport. our 1st title of the over the wells. number one tennis class action from

the final of the cat are open coming up. ah, well, the ukraine war and us china relations are dominating the agenda on the final day as a munich security conference. european union leaders have called for urgent access to more ammunition and financial aid for ukraine. meanwhile, china's top diplomat one yee, has asked us secretary of state anthony lincoln to resolve the damage to tires between the 2 nations. they held talks for the 1st time since washington accused beijing of sending a spy balloon into its air space. 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 center 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 these balloons fly over them in recent years, or that's been exposed to the world. while trying to senior desolate has also announced that beijing would propose a peace plan for ukraine on the anniversary of the war. surely wish on times they may be some forces that do not want peace talks to succeed. to not want the water stop anytime 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, but out loud again, james face has one out from you. that meeting between secretary blinking, why he the top 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 u. s. 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 north american aerospace. no new date has been set for that meeting. perhaps more important in terms of things that have emerged during the summer. chinese say they've got some sort of peace plan from ukraine now. european and us officials rather skeptical about that. they say they're not really going to think that's an important development till i 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 or security conferences will been about the war and ukraine and 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 alliance

while meanwhile, european union, the foreign policy chief, christopher al, has called on, well need is the security conference to provide more military support for ukraine to continue fighting russia long term lensky and ukrainians. have a lot of a lot of these moved and not even of them when is that if i gosh, they lead, they need to be less applaud and better. so blight belongs to genius. our fighting bay in the high use, frightened to be flight. but these will happen to you to be in child effect out and has a global impact around the world, which also affects elisha community. the 1st come, must urge them saying that that you politically would have, has to do he's to arm you grain. he, we said, has all due to be a leaders here said yesterday that russia cannot win his war. that ukraine

has to prevail on european countries have liked to reduce their reliance on russian gas since moscow invaded ukraine nearly one year ago. they turned to energy producers from the us. the white house has backed efforts to expand exports, the dance angered climate activists. and mike, hannah reports now from washington, dc in the united states that was paying for consumers at the pumps, but joy for the big energy companies. western sanctions put an end to russian exports and because of the consequent global oil shortage, the price of gas doubled. the profits of u. s. energy companies sought as they cashed in by ramping up production. have you notice big oil just reported as prophecy? record profit? last year they made $200000000000.00 in the midst of a global energy crisis. i think is outrageous. the biden administration east, the oil shortage by tapping into the strategic petroleum reserves. the energy

industry had already made its move to increase production. the day off to the invasion began. lobbyist sent a letter to the white house in order to increase production and export. the energy into st off will major concessions. these include the, the right to draw on federal lands. swift approval for export licenses and a green light with some pending pipeline projects. within days, most of these concessions were granted from experts caution. again, seeing these concessions merely as a surrender to the interest of big oil pointing out they'll also national strategic issues at stake. some of these things. sure, i may have been motivated by the industry, but a lot of these are just strategic considerations on a national level as well. particularly with regard to energy supplies, to europe, things of that nature. there are, there are multiple moving parts here. one of these moving parts is the u. s.

liquefied natural gas, or l n. g industry. the us only began producing l n g 6 years ago, but it's already a leading exporter, alongside giants cutter, and trailer. environmentalists say that comes at a price to the environment. while l n g has been promoted as a bridge fuel that burns cleaner than oil. they insist the amounts of methane produce during the fracking process pose as great a threat as the production and use of fossil fuels. l n, g exports will swell the already handsome profits of u. s. energy companies. these can and will be quantified. but the human cost of the war that contributed to these profits is beyond measure as its impact on what the us administration called its green policy to combat climate change. my kinda, i'll just era washington. well, russian crude now sells at

a discount compared to global benchmarks. but that also means that moscow is selling more oil. so who's not buying it before russia invasion of ukraine, nearly half of all of its oil exports went to the e. u. as western nations and post sanctions and restrictions russian oil have port east. by the end of 2020, through the u. s. buying just a quarter of russian supplies the u. k. and the united states, which had taken an 9 percent quit buying it entirely. now to fill that void russia turn to asia, offering oil, it steep discounts. there, china was an eager buy on its share of russians applies, grew from 21 to 25 percent. but most notable has been india and went from importing nearly nothing from russia to buying a record amount and december 33 times as much as the year before, with an average of 1200000 barrels a day. russia is now india's biggest supplier of oil and, and let's say that's only going to increase. well, let's bring in chris reefer,

he is a global energy expert and the chief officer of mac, her advisory consultancy firm. he joins us now from zanzibar bris. moscow has seen these huge drops in its oil and gas revenue, some 46 percent, i believe, but it doesn't seem to have shifted putin's commitment to this war. so how is the kremlin now making up for that? well, 1st of all, those numbers that you refer to are are, are part of the transition process. i guess, to say we were expecting a big drop in volume in december and january after the youth crew. dan kicked it in december 5th. and just ahead of the, our product span, which starting separately. so there was an adjustment period that was what was expected and also because of the price kept the results of the adjustment on pricing. and at the same time, the risk in finance ministry changed the way that it was collecting taxes from the old sector. so what that meant was we had a unusual drug in expenditures or sorry,

and up in revenues in december and january in the finance ministry are saying that that money will all reappear when the system smooths out in february and march. so in other words, what saying is that not to use that big drop in the start of the year as a reflection of the accurate position. they're saying that they're more or less on track for about a 2 percent budget deficit over the year based on what to expect on pricing and volume of exports. not so interesting. i found it very remarkable there how much india has stepped into the void. that's been left by the e. u and other western nations. and china is obviously up to the import street, but not anywhere near as much. is it enough to fill that void? no, it won't be enough. russia last about a 1000000000 and a half barrels of crude in december, but more much more important. it's now lost $2800000.00 barrels of refined products such as diesel petro the be the fit. so it won't be in the shifts all of that oil

about 4000000 or over 4000000 barrels of oil to asia because it simply doesn't have the infrastructure. and also the owners of the infrastructure of oil tankers are wary of the terms of the price cap and the sanctions have been put on, on carrying russian oil above a certain price. so the lack of infrastructure means that russia probably will lose at least $1000000.00 barrels a day of exports, total exports compared to last year. but now desperately trying to find ways where it can sell that oil, the rail cars, or are any other means the central agent to, to, to, to other asian markets. but india to say it has been a huge bar because india is well the only countries the world that cuts enough, refinery capacity to process the oil and send that refined product to europe because they, to point me in barrels of refined product is a huge loss to russia,

but it's also a enormous last european market. and india is the only place with spare capacity. and that's why we're seeing russian oil coming into india being refined and then coming up into europe as more expensive product at the gas station. very interesting. so we are seeing russian supplies ending up in europe, even though it's going via a 3rd party. i'm curious, the, we've seen the energy crisis in the e. u, not anywhere near as bad as everyone assumed it might be. is that then potentially is going to create an appetite for the want to continue much from the time to have you know, i think that people are different the energy industry understand full well that this is just one year in transition. and europe got lucky to some extent, certainly with the weather, which meant that the demand, especially for gas, was much less than mike. normally be the case with a cold winter for example. and also got lucky because it was able to buy

a substantial amount of l n. g. last year. this is l g t that would normally have gone to china's what because of china is covered lockdown and the impact in the economy did not need to buy that energy and allowed to go to, to europe. but now we see, of course it's opening up, the economy is recovering and they've already said that they're going to be back buying all of that g again. so europe's has probably about 2 more years where potentially it could have an energy crisis. the german energy ministry published last week documents which said that they will be in a position to cover the last russian gas in 2026. but basically means then for the next 3 years, they could have a problem. if they don't get enough energy demand because of weather's higher. so yes, put into that this year. so the energy crunch very much. not a europe, chris, me for the global energy expert speaking to us from sounds about. thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us here on out there,

chris. you are on the front lines of the war in ukraine. laska says it's forces are making gains in the coffee region. now claims to have taken control of a village near you. the 2nd largest city of coffees, russian forces have been advancing in that area since cave reclaimed control of the city back in september. well it is not time for the weather in his emerson. i was had a rather cool shemelle went flying across the gulf recently. so ship this sir, band of cloud brisk winds here, making it feel rather chilly temperatures around 23 celsius here in doha. picking up to route 26 as we go through tuesday. the winds falling lightly will feel a good deal more pleasant. not quite a pleasant up to was at eastern side of the care. we may will see some snow eating i've it was a cook says for much of her to care for much of syria rather of and it will be dry and settle over the coming days. temperatures not very too badly try course much of north africa. wanted to shout over to was

a tough times, the man tough questions. what exactly are you asking for you? what troops on the ground, the rigorous debate we challenge conventional wisdom and demand the true upfront with me, mark lamond hill, what al jazeera for the past year al jazeera, his correspondence have reported on every aspect of the far reaching consequences of russia's invasion of ukraine. upset by street fighting to the destruction of thousands and the lives of record g. from the political maneuvering and global repercussions. the devastating impact on the lives of ordinary people are both very good. the front lines, the bomb felt the seats of power, and the reality of the grown from moscow. here, brushing good gold on bought and beyond will continue to deliver in depth, unbiased personal reporting. so you get the full story. when i was 0,

lou. oh wow. ah, hello there you're watching al jazeera anastasio, tehan durham. let's remind you about top stories. you are a secretary of state and c, blinking is touring some of the worst hit areas of se, trickier nearly 2 weeks on from 2 outbreaks that devastated the region. he'll be holding discussions on how the u. s. can further assist the turkish government, as it turns to recovery efforts across great damaged parts of the country. in while a u. n. team has visited the rebel held hydrogen dares in northern syria. more than 5000000 people have been left homeless off to last week's quite. the one has been

criticized for its response. now, serious foreign ministry has called on the united nations to condemn israel and missile strikes on a building in damascus that killed at least 5 people. the building it was, it is near along security complex and is close to radian installations. iran and russia have also accused israel of carrying out the strikes and condemned them or is really prime minister. benjamin netanyahu has used iran for last week's attack on an oil tank. and the passion gulf library and flagged vessel was hit by a drone strike. while sailing through the arabian sea, melissa, as it is, i need some attention on or if it's against the iranian front, do not stop. the simple reason that iran saw still it is doing almost all last week around again attacked an oil tank in the gulf. calming the freedom of international navigation, and yesterday it attacked an american base in syria. iran continues to send late the weapons to struck the masses of innocent people far from its borders and
