6:03 pm
a population of about 14000000. we are working in very close collaboration with our colleagues both to understand all of the needs and to find ways to us lavonne this could not be done without the extraordinary working collaboration of so many part for us government that starting with the united states military, which is always on jumped in in a remarkable way. or we have a team of correspondence covering the disaster across the region. let's begin with sidney castillo in ankara, she's at the headquarters of turkey as emergency management agency. and of course, a lot for the agency to be able to tell its own people across the country. but the u. s. secretary of state entity blinkin has arrived. what does he expect to see? while as he completed a tour over the earthquake, it's a re as especially ha,
6:04 pm
tie the worsley hit city, doing this earth good with his turkish counterpart, maybe social. you wanted to see everything as a 1st person and he was briefed by the diplomats and related people in charge of the situation. of course, we expect to mr. anton, of blink and us secretary of state to meet with the white helmets, the 8 organization operating inside syria. it is also very important as syria is one is also hit as, as bad as true. here was a besides that he will be traveling back to the turkish capital on korea and morrow he will have diplomatic jokes. he will be received by the turkish present, bridget, safer done, and then he will deliver a press conference joined with his turkish part. the counterpart made cho visual. today was mostly about seeing the earthquake areas, but moros talks are going to be more about diplomacy,
6:05 pm
including by late relations and the nato, a bit for the to northern countries, sweden and finland. and some other topics on the table will be 2 kids bit for f. 16 fighter jets. so let's talk about the notes being made by the emergency services collectively that the rescue recovery operation is coming to an end. what does that actually mean in reality system? for those who puts live live still in hope, the relatives and friends might still be alive. yes, exactly. today we heard a turkish disaster management agency director speak on cameras and update it, update the turkish people about the latest situation on the ground. and he said that except for hot tide and call her mom mirage. the epicenter of the earthquake search and rescue has come to an end its completed. they have inspected all the buildings. but having spoken to some people yesterday, especially in
6:06 pm
a dormitory where the earthquake survivors an earthquake effect as people were transferred to, they told me stories about people that they are not able to connect to. so they told us, you know, they cannot see them among the bachelors, they can not see them in the hospital unless maybe they are still alive under the rubble. that's why, especially in the hot tie, where we see the greatest damaged among those cities. many people are curious if it's and maybe some people will be left alone. but i have also spoken to some officials in on clara. they will, they told us that they would be doing their best to, to, to fill out people. because it onto the last night we saw them pull out people alive from under the rubble. so, and we are hearing from the experts that if a person can reach to that life triangle, as they call it, that person can survive onto one month. definitely,
6:07 pm
they will try to check the buildings, inspect the buildings better, but of course, you know, some citizens are upset. hearing that search and rescue is finished because they are, they are hopeless indeed, a very difficult time for many, i'm sure. and consider that force in anchor. thank you. well, rebuilding areas affected by the earthquakes will be overwhelming as a bag is in common with rush where the quakes have destroyed entire 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 there will have to be demolished. 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, it's that huge pulse 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 to earth
6:08 pm
crates, there have been thousands of tremors now every time those 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 rabo and dealing with the damaged buildings, they're going to have to attend to the psychological needs of the people attractive . we instilled that confidence in them that they can return to their cities. a survey, i'd just hit her head. i'm under my rush for them to give turkish authority say widespread psychological support is being provided to help survive as deal with the emotional impact of the quakes that i should get him has been speaking with a team of clinical psychologists working in kentucky. they survived that no one here has been spared the anguish. their stories are excruciating to
6:09 pm
hear, let alone live through. on the maclay victim, 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 pouring rain . god turn this place into a helm that day. we follow to clinical psychologist with the turkish red crescent into this camp for displaced people. the listen, hold hands with offer pads on the back and played games with children to kid. sometimes just offering a blanket or a cup of coffee is comfort enough in that moment if they don't have their secure shelters, if they don't feel themselves secure. so it's like so fortunately, it will affect them info in a social behavior. i mean indian social way that you,
6:10 pm
we, you, we could have so many, multiple, a psychological problems like depression, major depression, be tasty in some, a personality disorders, even though psychologist say, in the upheaval of the earthquakes aftermath, children are particularly vulnerable to ms. so go visit, i'm get, you know, drink of, 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. and 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,
6:11 pm
experts say their collective trauma can also lead to a communal healing. natasha named al jazeera untucked. yeah. turkey. united nations team as arrived in northern syria to find out what aid can be provided in the wake of those devastating earthquakes. now the delegation has told the rebel town of dennis, where in time neighborhoods have been destroyed, more than 5000000 people have been left homeless in syria. the un has been criticized for its slow response and delivering a serious, most affected areas. that many of the earthquake victims also in families who fled to, to kia in hopes of a better life was also, there isn't a can been, is the here which has many of these victims and explains the repeated trauma. this density in sly, he is home to hundreds of syrians here. their houses were nearby and they are now either completely collapsed or heavily damaged or steel. there are deep cracks
6:12 pm
on the wall. so dorothy is told them that these houses that are still a standing are not secure or not habitable anymore, so they are not safe. so that's why they decided to set up this 10 city here, at least temporarily to host them here. so i have talked to some of them, the stories are quite similar. they are shared stories here. they have flood war in syria. they came to trickier to begin a new essay for life. they stayed in the refugee camps or for years, and then of the 4 years men of them choose a slight to be the home. they build houses. some of them a have rented some homes here, but earthquake has taken what they have built in the recent years here. and now they're homeless. again, they are displaced again. so there was an elderly ceiling man who was over 70 years old. i was just talking to him and i asked him about his story. he said that when
6:13 pm
the earthquake hit them, he and his wife, they were together. so they stayed on the drop of 4 hours and hours. rescuers had been able to to, to save him. however, his wife stayed there and for the look for food for the 3 days, they tried to save her however, they couldn't. she died there and asked him what he's going to do from no one. he said, he doesn't know, but he said if there wasn't war back in syria, and if he had an opportunity, he would like to go back to syria and to die in his home country. so these are the stories of the city of families here and according to the justice syrian, just a center in a stumble, syrians who have died in turkey during the recent earthquakes, or more than the syrians who died inside. serious. so dozens and dozens of the bodies are still being taken. been passed through there, the border gates here to be buried in the home country. but dos will survive like
6:14 pm
many here in this town city. the future doesn't to be promising for them. this will say that i'll just 0, a sly here, guardianship. so them to hear mid so much destruction. a group of activists is ordering some of the earthquakes. the youngest victims volunteers have tied red balloons outside the homes of children who died in the earthquakes in what i and took here. organizers say it's a small gesture to acknowledge the pain. a grieving families with kinene, i'm a j, a just let us on hid them. 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. with many hospitals damaged by the earthquake, say turkish military ship has been turned into a makeshift clinic. alma does bella, her son has more from southeastern takia,
6:15 pm
and miss effie can adjust and how the abroad while we are at the counter and port in high state. this area is the most effected 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, we are 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 . 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 on the twin only we lead out obama. well, he has a home. 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 will know how you can with time will not have you had to have this section
6:16 pm
is labels rent unit, which is dedicated treating patients who are in critical condition. ok, so i'm going to the 3 real bummer. here's another with an ultrasound machine, as you can see, as the said, when this war has more than 120 beds. and these are some of the victims who are still receiving treatment cone. and michelle, a lot of the check went to be, you can call and have as much as i am at c side. 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 you a baby pulled from the rubble is now being looked after by the family of her uncle, baby for lost her parents and siblings. when the queen devastated the challenge and that is fiction. mullahan has more the 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,
6:17 pm
but took several days before she was allowed to join his household. now she's back with the family sitting alongside clean own newborn daughter i up of law for in the will that that'll offer was born under the rubble shoes 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. the offer was found under the ruins of her families home and she was apparently born under the rebel. her umbilical cords 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 $140.00 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
6:18 pm
all my life. you need particular shelter for these 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 martin al jazeera, for plenty more had here all the, all their needs are including the mainland china space program is offering new opportunities to scientists in hong kong. and the us in south korea whole joint military drills and response to feeling a long range missile launch force and stream. whether that forces re, things be pulled off for the australian sale, grown free, and they will have that story to one ah, the serious foreign ministry has called on the united nations to condemn israel for
6:19 pm
missile strikes on a building in damascus that killed at least 5 people, the building is near a large security complex and close to radian installations. iran and russia have also condemned israel for the strikes. is there any prime minister benjamin netanyahu has the keys to ra for last week's attack on an oil tanker in the gulf, the liberian flag the vessel was targeted by a drone strike. munos if you need them. i'm a teacher or if it's against the iranian front, do not stop. the simple reason that iran saw still it is do not last. last week, iran 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 lethal weapons to struck the masses of innocent people, far from its borders and relentlessly tries to struck israel and it citizens in different parts of the world. more than some join about their a senior political analyst and the shower joins me now. in the street. i could get
6:20 pm
us again ball one incidence in the gulf. incidence in damascus. everybody's pointing fingers, but nobody's taking responsibility. absolutely. and i will add to that. it is not as simple as that for that because while in this situation we did have apparently some sort of an attack on the golf. but if you look over the past 10 years, swale, israel has started some back in 2013 with effects. ah, against syria kind of $34.00 times a year. then by the time it was $1516.00, it was once a month in 9 in 2018. 2019. it became twice a month, bombing various things in syria. and then it became almost every other week or so. so the, the, the, the, at the attacks by israel has one to teeth of lee and qualitatively increased.
6:21 pm
it started by hitting depots and military installations. miss isles, then had got to airports and military bases. and now it's downtown the capital. so it's not just a sympathy for that. it's been going on for 10 years. israel's attempt at pre event paper preventive or pre emptive attacks within syria. so just for reviews at home, so might be asking why syria doesn't retaliate. if it's actually blaming israel one because his or her syria is terribly weak. and i think her president acids are probably expects that if there's going to be any serious, serious retaliation against israel that's comparable to the attacks against syria then probably is rainy escalation will be able to basically take on his regime complete them and they could be bombing his head quarters,
6:22 pm
his presidential palace in the capital and basically decapitating his whatever is left of his military forces. so in fact, not only he is not responding, neither he nor iran is responding because over the last 10 years, most of the effects were directed against the iranian presence in syria. so why isn't it one responding? it's been 10 years. some say we've seen something like the effects that you said in the gulf, but really when it comes to reciprocity, israel has been humiliating. syria and iran in syria and nor to sponsor what can i do find it interesting that in the last, in a couple of years, what we've seen is iran accusing televi eve of sabotage on its own soil. and in this particular case, we're seeing an incident unrelated all related in damascus. and nobody's take any responsibility. how, how delicate to the politics of the gulf right now,
6:23 pm
because iran often tends to think that it owns the gulf and the waters are that, that border, it's a country and yet, you know, it's always testing the waters when it comes to seeing the american 5th fleet just across the water in bahrain, it can't do too much, but it's doing enough. absolutely. and you, we can add to that also though. now there is a bi rainy's, rainy security, the corporation, right, and moratti's railey security corporation. and there is talk of a middle east nato, right? all of it directed against iran. so iran calculates that there is pressure building up. and there is an attempt at containment by israel, some arab countries, and the united states. and yet, i would say, and this, i sort of answer your question earlier, partially in the sense that iran is not responding because your line is building up its presence. it's building up its presence in yemen. it's building up its presence in the gulf in iraq and syria, and lebanon, and so on. so until it's ready,
6:24 pm
clearly it does not want or seek or confrontation. so it's, instead, they can get, you know, on the cheek. once again, getting hit in the face popped in the eye in syria for 10 years now, and it's not responding. so we wait and see what the next move might be all this rather complicated chess game. it seems for the moment. thank you. the palestinians and occupy these teresa are observing a general strike as part of the call for civil disobedience that protesting against the increase crackdown by israeli police. and the palestinian shall hot refugee campers while as the nearby town of another israeli forces have been carrying out military raids nearly every day or the days of the nissan, the ukraine war and us china relations and dominating the agenda on the final day of the munich security conference, european union leaders, of course, the urgent access to more munition and financial aid for ukraine. meanwhile,
6:25 pm
china's top diplomat, y and z has urged us secretary of state antony blinking to resolve the damage to tide between the 2 countries. the hell talks the 1st time since washington, a key spacing is sending a spy, berlin into its 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 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 have had these balloon fly over them in recent years. and that's been exposed to the world. china senior diplomat has also announced asian would propose a peace plan for ukraine on the anniversary of the war. surely wish on our times, they may be some forces that do not want peace talking to succeed,
6:26 pm
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 or diplomat together. james bayes has more from unique that meeting between secretary blinking 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 aerospace. no new date has been set up for that meeting up. perhaps more important in terms of, of things that of emerged during this summer is the chinese say they've got some
6:27 pm
sort of piece plan from ukraine. now. european and us 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 the mean 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 alliance here. foreign policy chief justice barrel has called onward leaders to provide more military support for ukraine, then ski and you granny and have a lot of a lot of these moot and not enough money. she validate products, they delay, they need to be less applaud. i'm better so blind,
6:28 pm
we don't do playing yourself fighting bay india. are you surprised in total beef lives? but these will happen to you to be in child affect us and has a global impact around the world, which also affect levels security. the 1st and most urgent thing that you politically rudo patch to do, he's to arm you grain. the we said has all the to be only those here said yesterday that russia can not wind is war. that ukraine has to prevail. european countries of what to reduce their reliance on russian gas and moscow invaded ukraine nearly a year ago. now they turn to energy producers from the u. s. the white house has backed efforts to expand exports, but that's angered climate activists. mike, hannah has more from washington dc in the united states that was paying for consumers that the pumps but joy for the big energy companies. western sanctions
6:29 pm
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, sword as they cashed in by ramping up production. have you noticed big oil just reported as prophecy? record profit. last year they made $200000000000.00 in the midst of a global energy crisis. i think it's outrageous by an administration ease the 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 lobby a sent a letter to the white house in order to increase production and export to the energy industry. aust, 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,
6:30 pm
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 there are also a national strategic issues at stake. some of these things sure 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 as the u. s. liquefied natural gas, or l n g industry, us only began producing l n g 6 years ago, but it's already a leading export alongside giants cutter, an australia environmental say that comes at a price to the environment. while ellen 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
6:31 pm
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 the profits is beyond measure. as its impact on what the us administration called its green policy to combat climate change. my cannot, i'll just era, washington. well, the front lines of the war in ukraine. moscow says it's forces are making gains in the car key region. it says it's taken the control of a village and ukraine. second largest city, russian forces have been advancing in the area since key retain control of cookies . in september, mino reports from russia saying ukrainian forces have shown positive desk. 40 rockets were fined at o in and the tank that lasted 2 minutes lead in its prosecutors building and the
6:32 pm
library will hit still had here on the new south as russian missiles continued to attack energy infrastructure. we looked at the challenge ukraine is facing to replace damaged equipment and we'll be taking a look at pickable, one of the worlds fastest growing sports. ah hello, we got to see temperatures on the rise once again for what a service over the next hour. so central parts of south america will be warming up, see this area, cloud and right, that stretches up from most southeast of brazil not too far from rio cannibal week . of course i would to was that western side of the amazon little tri, than it has been recently for northern parts of bolivia. still some lively showers there into peru. but the should ease of, as our main rain band just toppled
6:33 pm
a little further east was as we go on 3 monday, notice point us there is getting up to 30 celsius at that stage. what a try, whether a lot of several, whether across a good parts of the caribbean. yeah, there will be one or 2 light showers, just switching around here, but nothing too much to speak of. where to weather will be across the western side of the car, appeared for the main islands, ceaselessly, fine, and try lots of blue sky, lots of tropical sunshine valley drive was a good part of the u. s. as well, at present and still on the mile side temperature getting up to 910 celsius in new york over the next as i even toronto should be at around freezing, at this time of year. so mild enough here we got some snow into central parts of canada, more the west know coming into bc, just around the rockies rain down towards the south of that. so making its way further eastwards as we go through the week. ah,
6:34 pm
the women run micro businesses are key to center goals development and to improved food security. access to finance helps them succeed. since 2014, nearly a 180 micro enterprises, collectives and small businesses across senegal received concession re financing. these loans were made possible by an initiative administered by the q 8 good. will fund the q 8 fund partners in development. the scale of the destruction when you see it by air is shocking. more than 70 percent of the buildings in this town have been totally destroyed. tons and tons and tons of thousands of people homeless across this region. every aspect turned into accommodating sir my raise. no, don't even have temporary shelters. many of my friends that we have lofts and hopes when future together are now gone
6:35 pm
blue. ah welcome back here watching the old is there a news i with me to hell, robin a reminder of all top news stories, your secretary of state and to the blinking is turing some of the worst hit areas in southeastern, trickier ill be holding discussions on how the u. s. can further assist the turkish government. turkey as emergency services agency says it will end search and rescue efforts nearly 2 weeks after the quakes. more than 46000 people have been killed. a 1000000 small, a homeless. the ukraine war and us china relations are dominating the agenda on the final day of the munich security conference. european union leaders have call for
6:36 pm
urgent access to more ammunition and financial aid, the ukraine. so back to our top story, the focus inter kia, her shifted for rescue to recovery and rebuilding from an takia bennet smith reports many people are still missing loved ones. we know that for example, is at least 345000 destroyed apartment buildings and every one of those, of course somebody's home. we know that there are more than 46000 people dad. but what we don't know still is how many people are missing. they still searching for bodies, for example, in the building just behind me that periodically they stopped. they've been using the heavy machinery to clear the rubble away. they stopped when they think they found a body, but this is a search, excuse me, this is a search for bodies. now, unfortunately, not survivors. and there is an extraordinary task, not just searching for bodies,
6:37 pm
but in terms of demolition and rebuilding work all of this area. all of these buildings will have to be demolished and much of an takia destroyed a much of and talk you will need to be rebuilt. south grip and the us have held a joint military drill in response to north korea saturdays on saturdays, miss our loans. the exercise including low range ball ms and find a chance. well, it comes hours after north korea find an intercontinental ballistic missile. japan's defense ministry says the missile landed inside what it calls its exclusive economic zone. but my bride has more from soul until young's latest lodge. they have in recent tasks been developing this technique whereby they deploy, set up a missile and fire it a lot. jip 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 launch or try to intercept is that they
6:38 pm
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 in continental ballistic missiles. they have been developing it fell assure to the northern japanese island off her cato, after flying around 900 kilometers disease. most interesting though is the last, the trajectory of this miss, i'll, it flew up nearly 6000 kilometers to an altitude of nearly 6000 kilometers 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 usf is that will put the continental united states within rain. 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
6:39 pm
and us forces this spring when it comes to security. and as we mentioned, the music security conference where politicians and diplomats been gathering and meeting to discuss the security issues that face the global community. so let's bring in theresa fallon, she's director at the center for russia europe. asia studies enjoys you now via skype from munich misspelling could help you with us on al jazeera. there's no doubt that again, like last year, the media conference was dominated by ukraine and, and the russian invasion. i mean, what's your assessment of whether other conflicts or major geopolitical and strategic issues were overlooked or do those conversations happen away from the cameras? let's remember at last year munich, security conference, the u. s. had shared intelligence with many people and the officials. and there was kind of an optimistic buy and nobody wanted to believe that there was going to be war in ukraine. so one year on we're seeing more attention, but it took one year and a lot of fighting a lot of death to get this type of attention. i would say that in regard to your
6:40 pm
question, they do pay attention to other issues in the past, mr. the had an endo pacific panel is represented as from japan, south korea, australia and in the past that was like when people would leave and get a coffee. and this year the room was full. so i think that that's a real indicator of bell. whether of how important these issues are in terms of the invasion of ukraine. i mean, some attendees have told our diplomat together to james bay's, but it's too soon to mention piece talk. it was being muted. it was being talked about, what's your impression of the position, the international diplomatic community face right now when it comes to talking to moscow? what i think one of the key takeaways from the, because it's taking place in germany shields. chancellor showed talked about sites in vendor, but he did mention something new. he said that this will be a long war. i think that's a big change in germany's position. everyone was hoping to be quick and short.
6:41 pm
initially that would seem to be some people's impression. but since this is going to be a long war, they are getting more support. one diplomat put it to me this way. germany is moving, being pressed to move by that a glacial pace so that they are moving. there has been a lot of pressure from other european member states and members of nato. and i think that they are really started step up, but it has process. and we've even seen the narrative about the tanks being inverted and germany is driving up support for the other countries and sometimes to ukraine. it's always good to get your insight, theresa fallen from the central asia, russia, europe studies. thanks so much for joining us. music. thank you and transformers have been a major target of those russian attacks in ukraine science to, to call him baker explain 7 portan in power substations and why it's difficult for
6:42 pm
keith to replace damage infrastructure. a target stands out among the intense fighting of the last few months of the war and ukraine. russian missiles have damage. 2 thirds of the countries electrical grid, many of the strike of targeted ukraine's transformers, which are unique, vulnerable, and difficult to replace ukraine's electricity comes from 15 nuclear reactors. thermal plants and renewables. many receive direct or near strikes, and some are occupied. electricity leads power plants at hundreds of thousands of volts. that's the most efficient way to get it from the plant to the user. but a house runs at $220.00 volts, so the electricity needs to be stepped down. and that's what happens inside a transformer. as the power passes between its magnets, the voltage decreases, the current increases, and it becomes useful for a home. after damage the electrical load can overwhelm stations, as happened in odessa, in february. not like
6:43 pm
a small microchip to be replaced and actually replaced such an equipment. it is actually on the one hand, a huge logistical operation to get this equipment into place. but on the other hand, you have to find this equipment somewhere. ukraine's electrical grid was built to fit a system that was deployed across the soviet union. but western europe's grid runs at a lower voltage, so it's high capacity. transformers cannot be swapped. search has turned to former eastern bloc countries. lithuania, which has similar units, donated dozens, including one high capacity auto transformer. we do not neat compassion, but we need equipment and air defense. ah, we also need input supplies from europe and more mobile generation to support our, our system. fuel run generators keep the hospital lights on. and in cities across
