the far reaching consequences of russia's invasion of ukraine, upset by fate fighting the destruction of townsend and the light of records. from the political maneuvering and global repercussions. the devastating impact on the lives of ordinary people are both very good. the front line, the bomb shelters, the seats of power, and the reality of the ground from moscow to brush and could fall dollar bought and beyond will continue to deliver in dips, unbiased, post reporting. so you get the full story. when i was 0, ah, a search and rescue efforts a cold off across most quite kit areas of turkey,

but many people remain in painful limbo as they wait for news of their loved ones. ah, hello, i'm mary. i'm noisy in london, you're watching al jazeera, also coming off on the program. doctors without borders calls for the urgent scaling up of a to north west syria, where the supplies don't yet much pre quake levels. at least 5 people are killed in a suspect that israeli missile strike targeting a security complex in damascus. and as russia says, it's made advances and ukrainian region of har cave china tries to position itself as peacemaker. ah low and welcome to the program. it's been nearly 2 weeks now since the earthquakes that devastated parts of se in turkey, northwest syria,

46000 people have been confirmed dead. but with many thousands still missing and unaccounted for. that figure is likely to be much higher. turkish rescue efforts have ended in all provinces, except the 2 hardest hit that scatter ahmad marashi and hattie. no survivors have been found though in the last 24 hours. a doctors without borders, aid convoys now entered northwest in syria, a region divided by more than a decade of civil war. well, health organization estimates 26000000 people across both countries. it needs humanitarian aid. as more than 5000000 people in syria and also 1000000 people in turkey who now find themselves homeless. so we have a team of correspondence covering this story. we begin our coverage now with bernard smith. he's reporting from an takia where rescue efforts are coming to an end. there's no expectation now that this kick is rescue team will find anyone alive under the rubble of these apartments. and on top of what they're trying to do

is at least give relatives a body to barry. ma'am, at glen last 5, members of his family. little it has been 14 days. i'm waiting for my aunt dead or alive. what matters is we get it from here so we can bury her and give her a place on the soil. limits 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 and the expectations of the survivors takes its toll on the more than 35000 turkish and foreign rescue was working here. but carol, july, we have psychologists in our team offering support awarded to help us get over stress and depression. i've never seen an earthquake like this in my whole life, and you have to shut down your emotions. when you do the job in attack,

your survivors have access to food medicines and tense. but the government wants somehow to start rebuilding as soon as possible. at least 345000 apartment buildings have been destroyed according to the turkish government. of course, every one of them, somebody's home. and now the surgeon rescue operation has effectively ended. the task of demolishing and rebuilding is 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 and takia, and al jazeera stephanie deca joins us now in a donna and stephanie have been traveling through the region since these are earthquakes 2 weeks ago. and we see a plenty of images like the one in band,

it's package and drone shots. but how would you describe the sheer scale of damage? i keep repeating the same thing in our stories in our lives. it. it's simply incomprehensible that you can't describe it. and even in the pictures that we've been showing you and fad, your color man has been taking taken to the sky with a drone, which really takes you really up and into people's apartment. you don't understand the scale of the devastation, don't see where it begins. you don't see where it ends. we've been to various cities, various towns, we've been to remote villages. and many of these have been, i don't want to say completely flattened, but completely destroyed either buildings or flattened there partially destroyed their structurally unsafe. and so many places like that, i province in there, come on marsh, around gaussian tap, these are areas, towns and cities where the majority 708090 percent needs to be demolished. what

still standing and then rebuilt. and then, you know, just off the back of birds package, the fact that i fired the yard local turkeys is a disaster management agency as officially called off the rescue mission other than in certain areas. still, you know, even we were talking to one of the volunteers turkish volunteers of the search and rescue just a couple of days ago. and he said people are even grateful to receive their dead at this stage. so they can pray over them and bury them. and there are many, many people who still have not heard any news of their loved ones. of course, reality has sat in almost 2 weeks on that people do not hope, of course is the last to die. that is an expression. but there is also an awareness that it is unlikely as that death toll that is around $46000.00 in both syria and turkey. i think certainly will rise at, at this point, is whether they can find the bodies. or we saw a team in alba stand, which is very remote in the mountains, pretty much flattened with

a cadaver dog. still looking for bodies, but the rescue operation had been called up there quite some time ago, but the scale of devastation across this country. that's been done to families. entire families have been lost in one go in apartment buildings. and it's, it's, it's incomprehensible. actually, i think even our team, we're still just struggling to digest what we've seen and the scale of it, and the scale of grief that the people of turkey in this region are going through. our thank you very much. stephanie decker in a donna will turkish authority say that a widespread psychological support is being provided to help survive his deal with the emotional impact of what has happened is asher, good name has been speaking with a team of clinical psychologist working in and takia. these survived, but no one here has been spared the anguish. their stories are excruciating to hear, let alone live through. on them a climate 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 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 home that day. lots of we follow to clinical psychologist with the turkish red crescent into this camp for displaced people. well they listen. hold here was a good offer pads on the back and played games with children's. 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 secured. so into a like solid furshly, it will affect them info. sheena social behavior. i mean, in social way that you'll eat 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 mr. go to visit him, get, you know, think of, of our youngest daughter is going through a difficult time. she was with her grandmother when she died, that 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 untucked. yes, turkey us state department has announced that will provide an additional $100000000.00 in a to the regions in southern tech in northern syria, devastated by the earthquakes us as you say, anthony blanket has arrived in the country early a wrong. he met with turkish hon minister and flutes. confir. so glue, you'll travel to some of the worst effected areas. he said, washington would provide longer term health as the country begins with its rebuilding and reconstruction efforts. sam, castle glue brings us more on this now. she's reporting from ankara. this is the 1st official visit by the us secretary of state, anthony blink and took it since he resumed office 2 years ago. the main mission of the visit is the shawl united states solidarity and support puts long standing nato ally took here after a devastating earthquake hits to kiss southern provinces and syria on february 6th

until the lincoln pledge a $100000000.00 of an extra military assistance. and he said his country will continue to work with international community to help the people to fear and syria and his country firmly along with them. at this visit is not only important because of its military assistance side for the place to excite. as i'm kind of lincoln will be meeting with the circus counterpart again on monday and to top diplomats will be delivering a joint press conference. and he's also expected to meet with turkish president. russia. type on many topics will be on the table, including the natal membership application by sweden and finland will many of the earthquake victims syrian families who fled to turkey or in the hope of a better life or so sir, as to camp and go the entire province which is housing, many of these people knew, spoke to a number of survivors. this density in this light 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 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 these 10 city here, at least temporarily to horse 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 and new essay for life. they stayed in the refugee camps or for years, and then of the 4 years men of them choose a sly it to be their 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 syrian 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, to save him. however, his wife stayed there and for the low, for food, for the 3 days, they tried to save her. however, they couldn't. she died there and asked him what he is going to do from the 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 serial families here and according to the justice syrian, just a center in a stumble, syrians who have died in turkey or during the recent earthquakes, or more than the syrians who died inside. here we are. so dozens and dozens of the bodies are still being pekin,

being passed through 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. chris will say that i'll just iraq, a slot here, guys the and so then to hear doctors without borders has been calling for the urgent scaling up of aid to north west syria. on sunday, the organization sent 14 a trucks into the country through the ha, mom border crossing. i came holly as the head of the mission for syria. george me now from garcia and tap in southern takia. thank you for taking the time to speak to us one. i know you're very busy, so obviously you've called out for the urgent scaling up of humanitarian supplies. how is it, and why is it that the aid current going into northwest syria doesn't even match. the, the level of humanitarian assistance in place before these are quite said 2 weeks ago. so actually they getting less than before. yes,

it things for the center of you 1st of all, notice things 0 organization. i mean, and is president looked on while we are hostile need for the support of the providers to bring this convoy in the inside or local. so to underline the fact that this goal was arranged outside of the united nation cross border mechanism regarding the need since as soon so you've been worked to do 14 trucks, use it to remain a drop in an ascent of needs. when we compare the situation with your key because we're businesses are key and will provide support in. so syria, zach much, much, much more support coming in jerkins and sooner and we're still waiting on the international community to provide

a dick work and the necessary support to the syrian population in our syria. but he has more about your logistical challenges because i think we've just been speaking about m. s f, a convoys have been going in. but you have managed to provide this with the help of a partner in the region. and so actually what is happening is that the sort of cross border aid mechanism that was already in place, that spin, coordinated with the united nations, whatever you're doing it, you know, you're doing it unilaterally. so since the beginning of our intervention in syria, we're trying to be independent when it comes to support for syria. so many people on the media on the news are talking about un crossing, allowing the united nation agencies to ring at, in syria. but i would like to underline the fact that there are plenty of

international condition and 0 organization using many different crossings from cherokee to get in. so syria, out of the benefit of how our official crossing for united nation. so before the sprint, many of the nation are providing support for these different crossings. but now what we see that the necessary and to require our support to quote was in need some new to source with our not to go today. so was there is a big effort to bring it inside syria, you did to the people in your similar to, to cope with us needs tell us where the most urgent need to live. people must need water and sanitation equipment and shelters. so again, this after the 1st week of the spring, we're providing mattresses, blanket tents for us. but as you got all the nation, we were having

a huge you know, supply you prep and you prep it's warehouse full of from the scene. so he can equipment, and he did in case of an am big emergency. this is wow. so you got surprised? got been using? it's the 1st 3 days for the us quick. now it's m g and for us rent and the necessary supply needed for the rise to bring an additional cost of trucks with medical supplies. all right, well i wish you the best for your work that you are able to get more supplies into the country, given the scale of the humanitarian crisis to have him hold. the joining is that from metro self on here, thinking without his air, my from london, we are covering other stories his hours,

well kenya is calling funny global financial forms at the african evenings. and that will bring in the latest from that. so what happens when you combine tennis, badminton, and ping pong, explore one of the worlds fastest growing sports. ah ha, they weather is lovely across southern passive year blue skies. clear weather here all the way, right across the mediterranean. pushing across into spain and portugal further north where we have got to wear the systems rolling across our area of high fresh little tongue of high pressure across southern pass, keeping it settled and sunny. we are going to see some wet weather. so windy weather at toys and some wintry weather pushing across northernmost passes, scandinavia still seeing some snow pushing over towards c. a baltic states was that western side of russia. justice of snow, that just to route to care for

we don't do it in order to be gets rid of the rational energy source. we meet with global news makers. i'm talk about the stall restock matter on al jazeera, a showcase of the best documentary films from across the network on al jazeera with ah, i'll come back out, is there a life in the main stories now, that turkish rescue efforts after the massive earthquakes just 2 weeks ago, which devastated the south of the country. among those rescue efforts of basically

coming to an end in all except 2 provinces. within 46000 people are confined to have died. a doctors without borders, aid convoys entered northwest in syria. this is a region divided by more than a decade of civil war. 8 groups as an urgent increase in supplies is needed to match the scale of the crisis. their series for ministry is calling on the united nations to condemn israel fair missiles strikes on a building in damascus that killed at least 5 people. the building that was hit is near large security complex and close to iranian installations to her on in russia . have also condemned israel for the strikes wrong in state. media said that that reports of iranian citizens among the vic, 10th of the strike, a baseless last month, 4 people were killed and another is ready strike on damascus international, airport. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was accused iran as being behind an attack on an oil tanker in the gulf. last week liberian flag vessel was hit by

a drone strike while sailing through the arabian sea a super unami per mom or 2. mm hm. um, our efforts against the iranian front do not stop for the simple reason that rounds hostilities do not stop. last week or on again attacked an oil tanker in the gulf, reprogramming the freedom of international navigation warriors. and yesterday it attack an american by soon syria, your move around continues to send lethal weapons to strike the masses of innocent people, far from its borders and relentlessly tries to strike israel and that citizens in different parts of the world. when all the developments in the region, palestinians, and occupied east jerusalem reserving a general strike as part of a call for civil disobedience. that protesting with crack down by israeli police on the palestinian shore, fought refugee camp as well as the nearby town of nata, military rates. have been carried out on the near daily basis. demonstrators also calling for a boycott of israeli institutions on the front lines of the war in ukraine. moscow

is saying that its forces are making gains and the hearty region. it says russian troops have taken control of a village. no ukraine. second city, russian forces have been advancing in the areas and keep re crime control of the city. in september, marcia, ministry of defense as 20 quite nice soldiers were killed in harrison and more than a 100 near the front lines of copy and crossed the munchkin. meanwhile, the reports were marcia saying that ukrainian forces of shell parts have done yet. sc 40 rockets were fired in one attack that lasted for 2 minutes. donnie, it's prosecutor's building and a library were hit. same bas raleigh has more from keith. it's been another day that began with an air raid siren the threat of a ballistic missile. once again, flying over the country overnight, there was a number of missile strikes that reported in the morning. we heard reports of artillery shells being fired on areas in sumi and up and down the 1300

kilometer front line on the east of the country. there continue to be a number of skirmishes. many of them don't even make it to the headlines, but at the moment, 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 and with about 5 days to go until the one your anniversary, people are watching very closely what's happening in and around the area of that city of buck moods. and largely because let me putin, the 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. the war and ukraine and us china relations have dominated the gender of the final day at the munich security conference. european union leaders call for urgent access to more ammunition and financial aid for ukraine. meanwhile, by james top diplomat y v u. s. secretary of state anthony,

blinking to try and resolve the damage to ties between the 2 nations held talks for the 1st time since washington accused china sending a spy balloon into its face. with china, senior diplomat also, now that bacon would propose a peace plan for ukraine on the anniversary of the war. surely wish on her time she thought 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. i'll just there is diplomatic ada. james space has been falling developments there in munich that meeting between secretary blinking that wine 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 of puts china

and the us back old, 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. but perhaps more important in terms of things that are emerged during the summer because the chinese say they've got some sort of piece plan from you crying. now european and us officials rather skeptical about that. or they say they're not really going to think that's an important development. so 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 being security conferences that have been about the war and ukraine in that one year anniversary. very keen, i think both the u. s. and the europeans to get everyone on the same page. still keep all these allies together and stop any cracks. emerging in the,

the alliance african leaders are in ethiopia capital for the final day of the african union. summit talks of focusing on trade, humanitarian issues and violence in both the democratic republic of congo and the sa hell region. kenya's president william route, i spoke at the summit and fall cool for reforms to the global financial system. well yeah, i know the type of rackets for it is growing in popularity, particularly in america. that boom started when jims closed during the pandemic. that meant that people were trying to find new ways to stay fit while having fun. at the same time. rob reynolds has warned us now from santa monica it's the fastest growing sport in the us. 36 and a half 1000000 people played pickle ball last year. that's 14 percent of all adult americans. and many more than the 23 and a half 1000000 people who played tennis. pickle ball is easy to learn, inexpensive,

and fun, yet pickle is a hybrid between tennis, badminton, and ping pong people really get into it because we're pick of all there's a lower part barrier to entry than tennis c, u, king competence and skill fat. and people get addicted to that feeling of accomplish. 0, one of those pickable fanatics is retired attorney lynn. so dick, even after to knee replacement surgeries, the 66 year old hits the court 5 days a week. she loves the sense of community amongst players. so it doesn't matter if you're a ceo or a limo driver or you work at 711, everybody's treated the same. i failed that it's made me healthier. i think it has opened me up to a lot of new friendship. pickable as

a good sport for people like me who's knees and hips aren't quite what they used to be. but it truly is a sport for all ages. pickable is challenging enough for players like 28 year old rob bellamy who played tournament level tennis at the university of southern california people. i went to college litzy low into high school with people i work with. a lot of them are, you know, hopping on like the pickable bandwagon and getting into it. it's a, it's been fun. so many people have hopped on that bandwagon that there are far more players didn't places to play in this southern california community players are lobbying the local government to build more pickle. busy courts as the sports popularity continues to spread. rob reynolds al jazeera, santa monica, california. ah.
