i was going places to go unmanned aerial vehicles, deadly but increasingly familiar to on the modern battlefield with the conflict in ukraine, sparking the 1st full scale drawn war and pointing to a coming age of artificial intelligence. some autonomy, weapons, people and power examines the ethical questions around this proliferating technology and whether it poses a dystopian threat. drones and the future of war on an jazeera ah, holding the powerful to account was we examined the new air suits row in the world . on al jazeera, ah, search and rescue efforts called off across most quake hit areas of takia. 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 algae 0 also coming up on the program. doctors without borders calls for the urgent scaling up of a to north west syria, where the supplies don't yet match. pri quake levels. at least 5 people are killed in a suspected israeli missiles strike targeting a security complex in damascus. and as russia says, it's made advances in the ukranian region of har keys. china tries to position itself as peacemaker. ah, welcome to the program. it's been nearly 2 weeks now since the earthquakes that devastated parts of se hintock here in north west,

syria. any 47000 people have been confirmed dead turkish rescue efforts of ended in all provinces, except the 2 hardest hit. come on, marsh and hot eye. no survivors have been found in the last 24 hours. there is still an on no number of people missing, but it smith reports from intac you now, in the country se there's no expectation now that this kick is rescue team will find any one alive under the rubble of these apartments. and i'm talk you what they're trying to do is at least give relatives a body to bury them at glass. last 5 members of his family lays him on. good. oh, 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 under the soil. match aunt is classified as missing. amidst the constantly updating statistics on the 10s of thousands of dead or 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 expectations of the survivors takes its toll on the more than 35000 turkish and foreign rescue was working here. but carl gelatin, we have psychologists in our team, offering support a lot 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 and unpack, your survivors have access to food, medicines, and tanks. 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 search and 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. well, your state department has announced it will provide an additional $100000000.00 in aid for the region. the secretary of state anthony blanket arrived in turkey earlier on sunday, meeting with his turkish counterpart together. they travel to some of the hardest hit areas like inside washington would also provide long term help in reconstruction. and rebuilding efforts said, because your glue has more on this now from ankara. this is the 1st official visit by the secretary of state, anthony blink, and took care since he resumed office 2 years ago. the main mission of the visit is to show united states solidarity and support to its long standing nature. 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 comfort firmly along with them. at this visit is not only important because of its military assistance side, but also diplomatic side. as i'm sort of lincoln will the meeting with his turkish 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 ridge of type r dot. many topics will be on the table, including the natal membership application by sweden and finland. rebuilding the areas affected by the quakes is a daunting task out. there is acid bag has been in car, my marsh, and the quakes have destroyed entire neighborhoods. yes, i was just 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, as 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 crates, 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 rabo, i'm dealing with the damage buildings. they're going to have to attend to the psychological needs of the people to talk to reinstate that confidence in them that they can return to their cities. a survey does it come under my rush for them to

hear? when nearly 4000000 syrians have fled to tech? here since the civil war, bro county. now i'm country 12 years ago. now with these earthquakes in tech here, many of them have been killed. and many war displaced again or so said, or is it a camp and gant at province? which is housing. many of these victims this 10 city in his life is now home to hundreds of serial families. if to some, some is a mother for who has to find a way to provide for her children. her mother who lived in his law he as wealth, died in the earthquakes. how could i have had i heard all we went free is beyond words. in my 27 years of love, i've never seen something like this. it was rainy snow. we went to ask, wait, started. we were panicking. we barely could leave the house. we got some blankets for the kids to keep them warm. 1000000 or nearly 4000000 seating refugees living

in turkey or in the province or john tapp, many of those west cape to sit in steuben war have spent more than 4 years in refugee camps in turkey, yet some of them later build modest homes as some ranted them out, but many are now back where they started, more than a decade of civil war has killed or displeased many serious millions of their fa, trickier looking for safety. it wasn't easy to begin a new life. now though it could have taken what they built here in the year since, and they would have to start from scratch. this is what is left off if the psalms father's house, that with them was trapped under the robber for hours. when he was pulled out, he joined rescuers to see his wife, and i am waiting for the situation to calm down. i don't know what to do yet. i might go back to syria. i can't handle the life have any more. i wish there wasn't war and syria. i had 3000 citrus trees there. i would go back if it wasn't for war,

according to the syrian justice center in a stumble, more serious dive into earthquakes here in turkey than in syria itself. in the past 2 weeks, humpers of bodies had been sent back to syria from g vegas of border crossing to be buried in their home country. and thousands of serious have crossed the border to attend the funerals of their relatives. and the hubby is one of them now that i flew under on going to syria to perform my final duty for my sister. she died to the earthquake there. her 2 children also died. i don't want her husband to mourn alone. but for those who survived, like many in distant city, the future remains uncertain. chris, who said that all jazeera, the sly you guys young tip southam took yet we will on the other side of the border, a doctor that doctors up board as a convoy has now entered rabble controlled northwest in syria is

a region isolated and divided by more than a decade of civil war. the 8 groups has an urgent increase in supplies is what desperately needed to match the scale of the humanitarian crisis. there is a that the support that syria is getting is really very little to nothing compared to the response that's been mobilized in favor of tech here. getting the need since as soon as school isn't worked to day 14 trucks use, it's to remain a drop in then or son of needs. when we compare the situation with jerky goes into a key and will provide support in. so syria, zach much, much, much more support coming interviews on sooner and we're still watching or the international community to provide to work and the necessary support to the syrian population in our sorcery are. now in all the developments in the region series, foreign minister, mystery has been calling on the united nations to condemn israel. the missile

strikes on a building in the capital, damascus that killed at least 5 people. the building was hit and it was near a large security complex, close to iranian installations that run in russia. i've also condemned the strikes . iranian state media said that to reports the country, citizens being among the victims of the strike, a baseless last month. 4 people were killed in another is ready strike on damascus international, airport. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is accused iran as being bind an attack on an oil tanker in the gulf. last week. liberian flag vessel was hit by a drone strike while sailing through the array be and see what it is. i need them. i'm a teacher or if it's against the iranian front, do not stop the simple reason that around. so still it is. do not last week. around again attacked an oil tank in the gulf, calming the freedom of international navigation. and yesterday it attacked an american base in syria. iran continues to send lethal weapons to strike the masses

of innocent people, far from its borders and relentlessly tries to strike israel and it citizens in different parts of the world. ah, on the frontlines of the war and ukraine, moscow saying its forces making gains and ukraine's ne, it says russian troops have taken control of a village near you cried seconds as you have her keys. russian forces have been advancing in the area since keep time control of the city. in september, the russian ministry of defense as 20 quite in soldiers were killed at harrison in ukraine south. and more than a 100 near the front lines of copy and cross dimansky. we know their reports of russia saying the crating forces of shallow pots have done. the 40 rockets will fight in the tanks. at last, as for 2 minutes, the done yet, prosecutors building and a library were hit. they must, rami has more from the ukrainian capital cave. 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 continued 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 year anniversary, people are watching very closely what's happening in and around the area of that city of buck moved 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. will transform as have been a major target of russian attacks. l science editor column baker explains their importance in power substations and why it's difficult for ukraine to replace damage. transformers. a target stands out among the intense fighting of the last few months of the war in 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 received 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 a small microchip to be replaced actually replaced, but some equipment 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 doesn't including one high capacity auto transformer. we do not need compassion,

but we need equipment and air defense. we also need input supplies from europe and more mobile generation to support our system. fuel run generators, keep the hospital lights on. and in cities across the crane, people have gotten used to rolling blackouts, calling baker algebra slide for you on the program. can you call us for free trade and, and enter the conflict in the east and democratic republic of congo will bring you our vote from the african union summit taking place in his ama ah, how i was just st. temperature st doubly way touching something. my 46 celsius in all their mouth on the sets they off know still pretty hot across western possible stride yes, on areas as well. pretty unsettled to cross northern possible thunderstorms,

ah, with from the al jazeera london broadcast center to people in thoughtful conversation, the story of the well days that the global site developed the global knowledge and continues to do that with no host and no limitations. the corporation, if it were he, a man would act like a psychopath. part one of as yo bobbo and acid rain, we have to reduce our consumption here, but we also need economic justice fold work is studio b unscripted on al jazeera lou . ah,

i'll come back and look at the main stories are following this hour now that the turkish rescue efforts after massive earthquakes that devastated the southern part of the country nearly 2 weeks ago are now coming to an end except into the hardest tip provinces of her time come on, marsh. in the 47000 people are confirmed to have died. meanwhile, a doctors without borders, aid convoy has crossed in a northwest in syria, a region isolated and divided by more than a decade of civil war. the 8 groups has an urgent increase in supplies as desperately needed to meet humanitarian meets there. and that moscow is saying it's forces and making games and ukraine's northeast. they're taking control of the village near ukraine. second city har keith, keith reclaimed control of the city in september. we'll warn you, crane and us china relations have dominated the gender of the final day in munich at the security conference. their european union leaders call for urge and access

to more ammunition and financial aid for ukraine. meanwhile, by james talk different one li. urge the i suck teresa antony blinking to do more to calm recent tensions between the 2 countries. this was the 1st time they held talk since washington accused china sending a spy balloon into its asked space which that which it then shot down. what china senior debt from i as also announced that basia would propose a peace plan for ukraine. only anniversary of the war was usually rashaw hood. i'm sure they may be some forces that do not want peace talks to succeed, but do not want the war to stop any time soon or 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. sir. i diplomatic edison james base brings us more from you munich. 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 things that of emerged during the summer because the chinese say they've got some sort of piece plan from the ukraine. now. european and u. s. 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 at the unit 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. japan's coast, cortez at north korea is 5. what could be a ballistic missile off its east coast? a similar launch on saturday coincided with south career in the us holding joint military drills, which included strategic bombers and fighter jets young young had already promised a strong response to these drills for sit in our ports 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 bombers, a firm the united states commitment to the extended the terrence 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 missile proof. it says that capability to deliver a quote, fatal nuclear counter attack. these images were released on sunday, along with a statement from the sister of north korea's leader, kim john, kim, your jung said come yang, would watch every enemy movement, and counteract every hostile action. north korea is not happy with the ramping up of military exercises between the u. s. and south korea, which will take place in march. there's also a tabletop exercise that will look at nuclear scenarios that will happen between the u. s. and south korea next week. and i think ne, sending a message that it is unhappy with that, and it will fight fire fire already to go to then getting paid. you can still took some hours between order and addition, north korea continues to work on a solid fuel rocket. got to takes less time to prepare. years of diplomacy,

sanctions and international censure have done little to slow progress. hurry, full set al jazeera african leaders or an ethiopian capital for the final day of the african union. summit talks of focusing on trade, humanitarian issues and violence in the eastern democratic republic of congo and the style region. welcome web reports from august alba, african leaders gathered at the african union in c, a. p as capital addis ababa group annual summit. the suspension of molly's guinea and between a fast following military were up held. so the committee, the commission is ready to support this member states to return to constitutional order. israel's delegation was escorted from the meeting room by security. israel been seeking observe status at the a for 20 years. member states are still divided and whether or not it should be

at the african union in addis ababa residence as the ohio town of east palestine. a demanding on says off to a freight train carrying hazardous chemicals derailed nearly 2 weeks ago. some of the materials leaked into the towns at water and soil authorities then carried out a controlled explosion to burn off. some of the chemicals, federal agencies say the towns, water supply and era clear, but some residents have reported headaches and it were spiritual problems. earlier i spoke to courtney miller and activist in residents of east palestine, ohio. she described the response that they've been getting from the authorities and people are suffering animals are dying, and i want our voices heard so that people can come out and help them. it wasn't in so they saw that viral video on twitter of what my creak looked like in my backyard. and that was after they told us it was safe to come back. but they said

drink bottled water. and then they said they tested the water and the water was safe to drink. but they were telling us they still drink bottled water just in case like i said, were getting the run around the night at the rail was friday night. i got out of there, i went back the next morning and the smell, the smell is horrible. i opened the door to my house and it was like opening an oven and like that heat that comes out of the oven. like that's what it felt like. the smell came out of my house and it hit me and my feet. my eyes started burning and watering my nose started burning my throat. it was hard to breathe. my lungs were burning and they told me to open up my windows and air out my house. oh, la, when i bring in use alva and now the type of rackets force that's been growing in popularity, especially in the united states. it's been that started when jim's had to close because of pandemic. at meant the people that find new ways of staying fit and

active while having fun. at the same time. rob reynolds is one of them, is reporting that to one. again, it's the fastest growing sport in the us. 36 and a half 1000000 people played pickable 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 ball is a hybrid between tennis, badminton, and ping pong people really get into it because the pick of all there's a lower part barrier to entry than tennis to you. 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 feel that it's made me healthier. i think it has opened me up to a lot of new friendship. pickable is 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 when people 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 been, it's been fun so many people have.
