9:04 pm
destroyed buildings, the buildings that remain a very badly damaged. so there 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 pulse of this city have been completely 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 rubble so 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 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 what is returned. his casino,
9:05 pm
a correspondent in ankara. apology said him, we seem to have lost you for a little while before. let's just get back to the secretary of state, visiting the affected areas he's managed to really get a birds eye view of the devastation across the earthquake zone. definitely the us secretary of state had the chance to see the extent of this damage called by the earthquake, but hit southern to cheer and syria. and he has also acknowledged, like many other people who have seen the feel that the damage caused by the disaster was much bigger than anticipated and seen on media. this is the 1st official visit by the secretary of state of lincoln to, to kia after he resumed office 2 years ago. and the relations between 2 and united
9:06 pm
states have been at 10 says he would remember over a number of issues including the russian of russian beside defense distance, the f. 16 fighter jets. but this was that when the focused on solving solidarity and support the took a long standing nato ally of the united states. and mister lincoln pledge that his country is willing to at hundreds $1000000.00 more of a military assistance that you can he acknowledge that reconstruction. after the search and rescue operations, i finished reconstruction will require a massive effort to rebuild these areas. and he said that his country from the stands with the people of to care and syria. so consider that for us and i and cra, thank you. well, as i mentioned, turkish emergency services have called to an end of the search and rescue efforts. survivors of being forced to come to terms of the fact that there is likely no one
9:07 pm
left alive under the rebel. there are still an unknown number of people missing. bennett smith reports from and tuck here in south eastern turkey. there's no expectation now that this kick is rescue team will find anyone alive under the rubble of these apartments. and i'm talk to you. what they're trying to do is at least give relatives a body to bury men at glen last 5 members of his family. it has been 14 days. i'm waiting for my dead or alive. what matters? we get it from here so we can bury her and give her a place on the soil. moment. moments aren't is classified as missing amidst the constantly updating statistics on the 10s of thousands of dead injured or homeless . there's one number, the turkish government can't provide. it doesn't know how many people are still missing. the scale of the disaster expectations of the survivors takes its toll
9:08 pm
on the more than 35000 turkish and foreign rescue was working here. july. we have psychologists in our same offering support and wanted to help us get a stress and depression. i've never seen and it's quite like this in my whole life, and you have to shut down your emotions. when you do the job, it unpack. yes, survivors have access to food medicines and 10. but the government wants me somehow to start rebuilding as soon as possible. at least 345000 department buildings have been destroyed according to the turkish government. of course, every one of them, somebody's home. and now that the search and rescue operation has effectively ended, the task of demolishing and rebuilding the beginning. it may prove impossible to calculate exactly how many people are missing or dead. following the earthquakes here. but in some places they know every balloon here represents the life of a child that lived in this apartment. building. bernard smith al jazeera. i'm talk
9:09 pm
to you with bringing stephanie decker correspondent for a series that lie for us in a donna and stephanie oversee the news reaching all parts of the quake effected areas about the fact that the senior agency in turkey, that coordinating this rescue operation and recovery operation has not one ounce, it's coming to an end. how is that news being received where you are when it's actually reminded me of something, one of the turkish volunteers we spoke to in car among rush. and he said, you know, people are grateful when we give them the bodies back is like, this is how terrible the situation is. someone that they can pray over a, someone that they can, berry, i'm and of course, than it, it, i had difficult to say. i mean, people have been realistic, 2 weeks on almost that it's very unlikely to find survivors, all the relatives. we've met along the way in the many cities and villages and
9:10 pm
towns we visited that were massively affected. you could see as the days past that that hope was fading. of course it's it's, it's the last thing they cleaned on to, but there was a realism there. so the fact that now officially, or of course, it's very poignant and very sad when you hear that there officially calling off any rescue efforts. a lot of the international teams of also left that arrived here in the beginning to help with those rescue efforts with their rescue dogs with their listening equipment. um, so it, it's very sad and tragic her day i would say, but i, it's a reality that people have slowly had to come to terms with that. i think again that death toll across both countries, turkey and syria over 46000. that will rise because there are still areas that haven't been cleared or bodies remain. we were in obey stan and recently. that is the actual epicenter of that 2nd earthquake. and we saw at the agenda armor walking
9:11 pm
with a, with a cadaver dog with a dog whose job it was only to find the dead, the rest of your brochure. there had been cooled off already quite a few days before so and they will still be pulling dead from the rubble and it remains meticulous task because of course, you know, it is the recovery. as you said, people want to still receive their bodies. but of course, they'll be many families will not be able to receive their dead and nor to bury them. stephanie regular for a senate other. thank you. thank you, shall dorothy say that widespread psychological support has been provided to help survivors deal with the emotional impact of the quakes. natasha g. m. has been speaking with a team of clinical psychologists working in and touch you. they survived that no one here has been spared the anguish. their stories are excruciating to hear, let alone live through on the maclay with them, i lost my mother and brother in law. i had to carry his body from the 8th floor and
9:12 pm
my mother was dropped on the 1st floor level. we took their bodies out with our bare hands because the rescue teams could not reach us. the 1st day. it was boarding rain. god turned this place into a hell that day. lots of we follow to clinical psychologist with the turkish red crescent into this camp for displaced people. well they listen, hold, hands with offer pads on the back and play games with children to 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 effect them info in a social behavior. i mean indian social way that you, we, you, we could have so many multiple, a psychological problem like depression, major depression, p t, s, d,
9:13 pm
in some debt personality disorders. even the psychologist say in the upheaval of the earthquakes aftermath, children are particularly vulnerable to miss. so go to visit, i'm get, you know, drink of, of our youngest daughter is going through a difficult time. she was with her grandmother when she died. think 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 survivors is quote, humble, considering the enormous need required in the coming weeks, months and years. and that's why sustained international aid is essential. people repeatedly say they're feeling hopeless and helpless. but over time, experts say their collective trauma can also lead to a communal healing. natasha named al jazeera and tucker turkey.
9:14 pm
well, many of you have quite victims. all syrian families who fled to turkey in the hope of a better life. but also there is in a camp and is sophia, which has many of these families and explains their repeated trauma. this density in the slide is home to 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 stories are quite similar. they are shared a stories here. they have flood war in syria. they came to trickier to begin and new a safer life. they stayed in the refugee camps or for years,
9:15 pm
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 or creek 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 series. men 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 rubble for hours and hours. rescuers had been able to to, to save him. however, his wife stayed there and for the low 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 la juan. 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
9:16 pm
stories of the serial 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 passed through there. the border gets here to be buried in the home country. but those who survive, like many here in this town city, the future doesn't to be promising for them. rest will say that i'll just iraq, a slow here, guardianship. so then to hear the united nations teams arrived in northern syria to find out what aid it can provide in the wake of those devastating earthquakes. the delegation as toward the rebel held talent and derose, where in time neighborhoods have been destroyed, more than 5000000 people have been left homeless in syria alone. now the u. n. has
9:17 pm
been criticized for it's slow response and delivering aid to series, most affected areas. but more had here on the news are including we find out why ukraine's warrant us china relations continue to dominate the music security conference and in sport of extreme weather event forces racing to be called off at the australia sale grand prix. andy will have that story. ah, sir, it's foreign military has called on the united nations to condemn israel or missile strikes on a building in damascus. the killed at least 5 people. the building is near a large security complex and close to iranian installations. iran and russia have also condemned israel for the strikes. well is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu has accused around for last week cetera, called an oil tanker in the gulf. the liberian flagged vassal was targeted by
9:18 pm
a drone strike. miller has, he thought you honeyed thermometer shall on our efforts against the iranian front. do not stop for the simple reason that rounds hostilities do not stop even last week. around again attacked an oil tank in the gulf regarding the freedom of international navigation volume. and yesterday it attack and american based in syria government around continues to send lethal weapons to strike the masses of innocent people, far from its borders and relentlessly tries to strike israel and its citizens in different parts of the world. i showed him, well, earlier our senior political analyst ma, bashar explained that israel has been bombing iranian targets within siri of the years and has continued to escalate its attacks. 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,
9:19 pm
we have we, we, when we need some sort of in the ring a process 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. the russians have come in to syria, few years ago, 2015. in order to protect, aside from his own people, the intervene militarily and a bit of their sense to protect us. but there isn't, has been attacking syria for the past 10 years. and russia has done nothing about it, in fact, and couldn't be flying over syria. the bargaining stadium positions, without flushing complicity, it's impossible. hence, there is a bit of a division of labor here. and there is apparent russian interests. and there's apparently of russian israeli coordination. and maybe that's why is right. it's not taking a very clear position on ukraine that the united states wants it to get involved. so yes, there's something in proxy that's been happening in syria. iran and israel are in
9:20 pm
some sort of a confrontation that is basically escalating. and i want to know that that's actually happening downtown and out of capital that this might escalate for the now the u. k was, and us china relations, a 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's surely wish on time. she may be some forces that do not want peace talking 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. though the eastern city of buffalo tis one of the front lines of the fighting as they wait for more military supplies from
9:21 pm
the west or the cities close to buffalo, have begun preparing for invasion. as they fear. a russian advance witnesses in a town 30 kilometers from the city, say that they've been seen incoming and outgoing artillery 5 every day. when the residential buildings have been left uninhabitable, the bas robbie has more from the ukrainian capital the major fight that has become part of the information war as well. is that for the battle for the city of buck moved? now we that keeps making the headlines in with about 5 days to go until the one year anniversary. people are watching very closely with happening in and around the area of that city of buck moved largely because vladimir putin, russian leader, had said that he wanted his forces to take control of it before the anniversary. and that has now become not only an important strategic city for both sides, but a symbolic one as well. what we've been hearing are reports that in the last day or
9:22 pm
so, a fight for a village that has been going on for about a week, 9 days, the village of paris co vs go. that seems to have now fallen into russian control. it's a small village, just north of buck moved and it's something that the russians and the ukrainians have been trying to fight over for the last week. now the reason that this small village, it's on the ground, the fighting is very complex. but the broad view of a city hasn't fallen to russian hands and solid are the battle lines on the war map has remained largely static for months. but these incremental gains that russia is making as, as ukrainian forces try to make tactical retreat is important. now, because ukrainian say they can't keep holding onto these important locations if they don't get weapon suit. meanwhile, the reports from russia saying that ukrainian forces have shown parts of denounced 40 rockets were fined in the tack that lasted 2 minutes. now the dentist could
9:23 pm
prosecute his building and the library were hit. european countries have worked to reduce several lines on russian gas since moscow invaded ukrainian. a year ago. they turned to energy producers from the us. the white house has back to efforts to expand exports, saying good climate activists. mckenna 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 put an end to russian exports. and because of the consequent global oil shortage, the price of gas doubled, the profits of us 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
9:24 pm
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 to the energy industry off will major concessions. these include 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 quotient. 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 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,
9:25 pm
things of that nature. there are, there are multiple moving parts here. one of these being part of 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 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 would 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
9:26 pm
change. my kinda error washington. what's the energy angle? but of course, present bike will also be heading to europe and poland in the coming days to you might say, rubber stamped his foreign policy smallness. let's bring in hillary man, leverett, she's a c o, the political risk consultants due to strategic. there's also a for me, us diplomats, and joins us via skype from mclean in virginia. miss man lever, always nice to speak to you here on al jazeera, just wondering how much all divide and visit to poland is about solidarity with europe, but also sort of slightly rubber stamping the recent visit by ukraine's president zelinski to d. c. and also getting into the mindset of the american public that this is all about foreign policy, even if it has been done subtly yes for the bible ministration its policies towards ukraine have had turned out to be very successful in their view. they enjoy
9:27 pm
widespread bipartisan support here in the united states, just before president biden is headed himself to europe, vice president, kamala harris and the senate republican leader. mitch mcconnell went to munich to show a bipartisan display of support for the by the administration's policy towards ukraine, and how successful it is they are portraying it here as having staved off a complete russian invasion and occupation. not just of ukraine, but russia on the marks throughout europe. so this is very much a kind of victory lack we would say in the united states for president biden to go and to highlight what they see as, as important foreign policy victory. it is being see very positively yet there are some republicans at home in the us who are threatening to block funding for ukraine in some shape or form in the future. is that voice likely to get louder? sort of right now is, is the possibility of what could happen to ukraine if it loses dawning on the public on politicians alike?
9:28 pm
certainly the brain or is going to become much more debated issue in internal politics here in the united states as president biden is likely to declare his own campaign for reelection in the coming weeks or perhaps come come coming, couple of months with that. we also have now the republican control of the house of representatives, and they have valid to make the ukraine or an issue at least debate here in the united states, both in terms of how much the united states is spending, but also in terms of the bite and families connections to ukraine with the president biden sign hunter binding. having had some connections to ukraine, so it will become very politicized. it could become quite nasty, here in washington. but overall, there is strong bipartisan support throughout the republican party and among among congressional democrats, or what president biden's doing early on in the presidency. it was very obvious
9:29 pm
that the bible ministration didn't really want to make foreign policy. the top part of their agenda in terms of trying to, to win the american people over shipping, they've been dragged into bringing foreign policy higher up the agenda kicking and screaming the even though they didn't want to be forced to be ready by war happen like they have the by the administration, i think, came in with this idea that somehow they could maintain and nurture the status quo that the world, the way it was when president biden came into office was, was just fine. it wasn't great, but it was just fine. and they could maintain the status quo, but we've seen what the russian invasion of ukraine worsening relations with china, an inability to get back into a nuclear agreement with iran. all of these issues, all of these important countries, iran, china, russia, none of them are willing to sit still and be parked in a sense in a status quo that they didn't like. and so each one of them at the in time is
9:30 pm
becoming more and more active in terms of its own policies and potentially aligning together. we're seeing much more and this is something that by and ministration is actually afraid of much more of a closing of relations between russia and china, between russian iran, between iran in china. if those 3 countries could come together in a very effective way to challenge american power, the by the administration will have to do with foreign policy for the remainder, it's presidency in a very stark and potentially contentious way. i miss my lover, you and i have talked on out there on a range of subjects for many years now. we know each other very well, but my spider sense is, i'm not trying to make to lie to the situation. but my spider sense is telling me, and i feel that president bide, might make an unannounced visit to ukraine as a form of diplomat. if that is a possibility. what to that department under anthony blink can have to consider
9:31 pm
before the president even takes a step into ukraine. you know, we've come really full circle from last last february 2022. when president biden himself said that he wasn't going to even consider a world war 3 over ukraine, he really dismissed a lot of things about ukraine. united states closed its embassy and sentence diplomats out of the country. so we've really come full circle to the point where it's really president biden, out of all of the western european nato leaders. he's the only one that hasn't gone to crane. and so there's tremendous pressure politically for him to go. that said, there are a lot of security concerns about it, and it would certainly put ukraine as the absolute number one issue of the, by the presidency. it would attach them to ukraine no matter what. and that's, that's a political gamble that the, by ministration from what i understand right now is seriously considering. but i
9:32 pm
haven't heard a definitive answer. be interesting to see what does happen. hillary bell lever, thanks so much for joining us from today. always wants to speak to you as i thank you. south korea and the us have held a joint military drill in response to all quiz saturdays amiss are launch. now the exercise included long range bombers and fighter jets that comes hours after north korea finds an intercontinental ballistic missile. hurry faucet reports us in south korean war plains, carrying out a highly visible response to the latest mis are launched by north korea. south korea is defense ministry, said the drills headed by nuclear capable american b one bummers, a 3rd, the united states commitment to the extended deterrence of its nuclear weapons. the u. s. in japan held a similar separate exercise of the waters of japan's west coast where the miss, i'll came down on saturday. north korea state media agency says crews were given no early warning ahead of the order to launch the song 15 intercontinental ballistic

9:39 pm
guinea, an became far so a suspended as is su dawn. and we did just have a short while ago from the peace and security council. those suspensions will be up how the african union describes military coups is illegal. changes of government and demands that its members return to some form of civilian rule before they can be reinstated. earlier today we spoke to kenny as president william retail. he's been calling for reform of the world bank and the international monetary fund. let's hear what he had to say. then monthly lateral financial banks 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,
