7:03 pm
so many part for us government that starting with the united states military, which is always jumped in in a remarkable way. let's cross over to anchor now, assuming consider our correspondent is that the headquarters of turkey is emergency management agency. and before we talk about, the agency said, let's just talk about the secretary of state. obviously we to see pictures of a met boarding, a helicopter, and taking to the skies with his turkish counterpart. he's obviously going to get a birds eye view of the destruction and it is immense, isn't it? definitely he emphasized that he had the chance to see the extent of the damage. of course, everybody knows about the extent of the, about the scale of the damage. but even for the journalist or a workers who are in the fields, we're always here that is worse than what is what we are seeing on screen. so
7:04 pm
secretary general had the chance secretary of state had the chance to see that he also announced that the united states is it's pledging for $100000000.00 more to come in when it's terry and assistance against the losses of earthquake and turkey and syria. and the is so in total, the u. s. military assistance for the earthquake survivors and material assistance for both turkey and syria is now equal to $185000000.00. and of course there are millions of dollars of worth medical assistance equipment. and there are hundreds of search and rescue workers, urban planners who are working in the fields right now. the purpose of the visit, of course, is to show solidarity and support to to can. this is the 1st officer was by the secretary of state to to gap that he was doomed office in 2019 and tomorrow he will
7:05 pm
be meeting with turkish president project and also will deliver a joint press conference with a circus counterpart made a chokehold of besides the u. s. support and solidarity shown for 2 kids morrow they will be there will be diplomatic topics that are going to be discussed on the table. like the and nato bid for sweden and finland to kids relations with russia. and also of course, definitely to kids warming relations with the syrian government will also be on the table for him. because that's also talk about this announcement that was made earlier by turkey is rescue operations agency and announcement that will disappoint some anxious families. still living in the hope that their loved ones might still be alive. definitely. and to last night we
7:06 pm
heard people being pulled out from under the rubble alive and people who have, who haven't heard from their relatives or loved ones or family members. they, they still have a whole because it now we know that there are still detailed things, especially in high tide that haven't been inspected. and actually, the director of the disaster management agents is said that the search and rescue operations are new nearly finalized in cities except for hawkeye and call her mom or as we know, call her mom is the epicenter of the earthquake, and especially after the 2nd earthquake that happened in 10 hours. the city was full till it damaged and in hot side we didn't have any contact with that city for 2 days. that's why some experts suggest that if the, if a survivor has an access to the life triangle, they can stay alive. even up to one month 30 day period, of course,
7:07 pm
for the government, especially for the people who are eager to see their new homes to build and if who hopes to find the refuge back in their homes. this is good news because the government can start to rebuild, but for the people, why still waiting to hear from their loved ones? this is not good news. so consider 4, sorry, 9 cra. thank you. the rebuilding areas affected by the earthquakes will be overwhelming as a bag is in the car at all in 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 they will have to be demolished, and 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 the city have been completely
7:08 pm
demolished. but when you speak to earthquakes of life, as 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 attractive . we instill that confidence in them that they can return to their cities. a survey does it matter about us for them to take a shot or would he say widespread psychological support is being provided to help survivors deal with the emotional impact of the quakes? natasha gannon has been speaking to a team of clinical psychologists working in and tack here. these survived, but no one here has been spared the anguish. their stories are excruciating to hear,
7:09 pm
let alone live through. on them a claim 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. we took their bodies out with our bare hands because the rescue teams could not reach us the 1st day. it was boarding 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. well they listen, hold hands with offer pats on the back and play games with children's a kid. 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 into a like solid fortunately, it will effect them info in a social behavior. i mean, in social way that you, we,
7:10 pm
you, we could 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 ms. so go to visit, i'm get, you know, think of our youngest daughter is going through a difficult time. she was with her grandmother when she died. 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, months and years. and that's why sustained international aid is essential.
7:11 pm
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 named al jazeera and tucker turkey. many of the earthquake victims, all serene families who fled to turkey in the hope of a better life. russel sada is in a come been natalia, which has many of these families and explains the repeated trauma. this density in sly is hom, 2 hundreds of syrians here. their houses were nearby and they are now either complete the collapse or heavily damaged or steel. there are deep cracks on the warsaw 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 these 10 city here, at least temporarily to host them here. so i have talked to some of them. the
7:12 pm
stories are quite similar. they are shared stories here. they have flood war in syria. they came to trickier to begin and new essay for life. they stayed in the refugee camps or for years. and then of the 4 years men of them choose asli to be the home. they build houses, some of them, a have rented some homes here, but what quick has taken what the, how 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 the earthquake hit them, he and his wife, they were together. so they stayed on the raw before i was in, over the rescuers had been able to, to, to save him. however, his wife stayed there and for the low, for food, for the 3 days, they tried to save her. however,
7:13 pm
they couldn't. she died there and asked him what he is going to do from le juan. he said he doesn't know. but he said if there wasn't war back in syria and 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 justice 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 have passed through their the border gates here to be buried in their home country. but those who survive, like many here in this town city, the future doesn't to be promising for them. less will say that i'll jazeera esla here, guys, the antenna. so them to hear. the united nations team has arrived in northern syria to find out what aid can provide in the wake of those devastating earthquakes. the
7:14 pm
delegation has told the rebel held town of davis were entire 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 aid to series most affected areas. more serious foreign ministry has called on the united nations to condemn israel for missile strikes on a building in damascus that killed at least 5 people. now the building is near a large security complex and close to the iranian installations, iran and russia. i've also condemned israel for the strikes when it's ready. prime minister benjamin netanyahu was accused iran for last week's attack con, an oil tank in the gulf below. barian flagged vessel was targeted by a drone strike. as it is, i need some attention, or if it's against the iranian front, do not stop the simple reason that around. so still it is doing almost all last week around again attacked an oil tank in the gulf,
7:15 pm
calming the freedom of international navigation. and yesterday it attack an american base in syria. iran continues to send late the weapons to struck the masses of innocent people far from its borders and relentlessly tries to strike israel and it citizens in different parts of the world. well, what this out there, a senior political analyst, mom rochelle, join me now in studio it's quite intriguing how politicians are trying to connect. what's going on, what has gone on damascus to what happened in the gulf last week? what do you make of it? all, i don't think it's really too much of a tit for tat. because while there's apparently some side, some kind of an attack on tanker that's partially perhaps owned by an israeli businessman that was empty sailing in the gulf and is red bombing and out of capital. downtown downtown damascus, where there are some sensitive and civilians structure. and it's not the 1st time
7:16 pm
it's been happening for 10 years within see bombardment of bankers in the gulf of past 10 years. but we've seen israeli bombardment in syria, presumably against hearing and targets within syria. happening since 2013. they went from few few a year to few months in 2018. 2019. and now they just don't stop. and they've gone from attacking depos, messiah or locations to military bases and airports. and now it's downtown. so really, the israeli humiliation of the syrian regime and his are in our lives is nothing to be compared by anything that is read, what is business is gone. and oh, we often in the past couple of years have seen israeli retaliation if this is all connected. happen only rainy in soil. it's odd that it's been now or is attacking
7:17 pm
syria as you say, the capital and in a, in an urban area. absolutely. look. the thing is that israel says that it needs to do that to prevent or to pre empt iran from establishing basis very close to israel, such as in lebanon, syrians, on the syrian say, look, we have we, we, when we need some sort of in the ring a presence and it's only advisors. i think both of them are lying in one form or other. but clearly what is inst, in syria, or the russians. now, this is what's peculiar sir. soil. the russians have come in the syria few years ago, 2015 in order to protect, aside from his own people, the intervene militarily and they've been there since to protect acid. but israel has been attacking syria for the past 10 years. and such as the nothing about it, in fact, is well couldn't be flying over syria bombarding syria positions without russian
7:18 pm
complicity. it's impossible, hence there is a bit of a division of labor here. and there is apparently a rush, an interest. and there's apparently a of russian israeli coordination, and maybe that's why israel is not taking a very clear position or new queen that the united states wanted to get involved. good. so yes, there's something in proxy that's been happening in syria. iran and israel are in some sort of confrontation that is basically escalating and i want it now that the attacks are happening downtown, an ad of capital that this might escalate further, but there is also puts another way of looking at this in the iran paps. why isn't iran you might say fighting back in the iran is building up perhaps its strength of that's the right way to discuss it because it does flex its muscles within the gulf . but within the context of within reason. because now it has to look over the water to bahrain and to the united arab emirates, and their affiliations have changed in the last 18 months. absolutely. with the r
7:19 pm
brown, so called abram accords. now there is, is really coordinations with the likes of burden and the united arab emirates under the umbrella of the united states. now there's been talk, not exactly a practical of an arab or a middle eastern nato. i don't think that's happening, but clearly there's coordination. and just as israel and the united states build up, their military presence in the gulf, your wine is trying to build up its military presence in syria, lebanon, iraq, yeoman and elsewhere. all in all. we're seeing a lot of military build up with the russians and the united states getting involved . and so how the chinese as well, and this is all escalating and what we're seeing earlier this morning. and i think that's the most dangerous part is that we have an escalation where now a downtown arab capitol is being bombarded by israel. that got to give that something got to happen. now, the iranians and the ceilings are so humiliated that you wonder how they're my
7:20 pm
response and from where, from lebanon, from syria or from iran, nasa. interesting times for the moment mom bushera, our senior political analyst, thank you for joining us. still had here on our desert, find out why the ukranian war and us china relations continue to dominate the munich security conference. ah, then to 3000000 ideas of register to vote in the 2023 general or in the next 10 to 30000000 more than but entire vote in population in the rest of west africa. the more to say they care about the economy insecurity, unemployment is it would bring you comprehensive coverage of this election. the candidates, i'm but you, she's informed opinions far right. extremism is really and need to be tackled as soon as possible. frank assessments, there was a joke about the and from government that it's not in for,
7:21 pm
nor does it go inside story. on al jazeera, the police footage starts with what appears to be a routine traffic. stop. but quickly the situation escalates. no, any police can be seen beating nichols and trying to subdue him with pepper spray. he can be heard crying for help and for his mother. o. nichols died from his injuries 3 days later as the video was being released. protestors in memphis took to the streets to call for justice. this is certainly a city very much still in shock by what they saw in that video, the violent beating death of tyree nichols at the hands of police. lou
7:22 pm
ah, welcome back here watching all deserve nice little romney reminder of all top stories us secretary of state antony blinking is touring some of the worst areas in southeast and turkey, wr. they'll be holding discussions on how the u. s. can further assist the turkish government to kids. emergency services agency says that it lends search and rescue efforts to be 2 weeks after the earthquakes. more than 46000 people have been killed and millions more made homeless. now the ukraine war and us china relations are dominating the agenda on the final day of the munich security conference. european union leaders have called for urgent access to more ammunition and financial aid for ukraine. while china's top diplomat wine ye says his country has a peace plan for ukraine. lensky and ukrainians have my lot of a for all these mint and not enough them. when ish value products they lead,
7:23 pm
they need to be less applaud, and better. so blame belongs to playing as our fighting bay in the higher surprise, intuitively, flight. but these will happen to you to be in child effect out and has a global impact around the wall, which also affect devilish purity. the 1st come must urgent thing that you politically would have had 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 is war that ukraine has to prevail? surely wish on what times they may be, some forces that do not want peace talks to succeed, to not want the war to 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
7:24 pm
ukraine. this war can't go on any longer. well, they've been probably joy's been from the ukrainian capital. another difficult a for the ukrainian military. just give us an update of what we know. it's happened today. well, just a few days left to go until the one year anniversary of this war and all eyes are on the eastern front line city under siege. but now that has been the place. the latter mere putin has said he wanted to have in russian hands in russian control by the time this war went into its one year anniversary. and so we're seeing a great deal of intense fighting a several flash points in and around that city and fighting, intensifying, more and more every day. and that's what ukrainian forces are saying is happening on the ground that the fighting is getting more intense and things are getting worse for their dug in positions for their frontline troops trying to defend not
7:25 pm
just the areas around at the latest we hear from those soldiers looking at what's happening at that security conference, they're really echoing with their leaders are saying, or perhaps their leaders are echoing with their frontline forces are saying they say that they need more weapons and they need them. now, many of them fighting, they say, with soviet era weaponry, no match for the overwhelming russian firepower that is coming their way. with that in mind, there has been a report that come out just now military service here in ukraine saying that a village north of buckner, this probably happened a couple of days ago. one village, north of buck, mood did come under near partial partial or almost full control of rushing forces. carrying out high speed runs to try to overwhelm ukrainian positions with their superior numbers. that village had a school. yes. but just north of the city of buffalo, putting other areas north of buff move in between the village and back with under pressure. expecting more of those high speed assaults by russian forces to try to
7:26 pm
overwhelm those positions. ukraine has said that it forces made a tactical retreat to try to save their true numbers. they are out numbered, so every life saved in the battle field to get that means giving up some terrain is a tactical mechanism they've been using on the battlefield. everson, the fall of solid, or the last city to fall to russian hands. and that was months ago. now the worry is that with will fall any day. now observer say it is tutoring on the edge of collapse, but with days to go, ukraine says that is still a city in ukrainian hands and that will remain the case of the 4th in key. thank you. now african leaders already have his capital for the final day. all the african union summit talks of focusing on trade, humanitarian issues and violence in the democratic republic of congo as well as this the hell region. kenny, as president william retail has been calling for reforms in the global financial system then multilateral financial banks,
7:27 pm
on the entire international financial system has not been justice and has not been fed and has not been accountable. and all we are asking is we want to have an even conversation. we want to, we do not want financial system that they've asked us. we want a fair, what as things stand today, the current financial setup say about the global, not against the global stuff. why do i say that today development find none. you can, you cannot, 5th, volcano, for example. and most of africans, zambia government. in fact, all 4 brain states that have gone to the international financial market,
7:28 pm
they are paying anywhere around 10 percent of our patio in the global not paying anywhere between 0.05 percent 0 point one percent. clearly, we are accessing developing finances, $100.00 times more expensive than they do. can you in the mental from their financial institutions. 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 setup is rigged and that's it for the moment that he's continues on al jazeera news, special ukraine war one year on. ah ah
