8:32 pm
as we know, the israel isn't there isn't one to a to take legally binding un security council resolutions as a, as legally binding. but instead, the u. s. that went into these frantic negotiations in order to prevent a un security council resolution which it might have had to veto because of its unwavering support for israel, anthony jer, biden's on unwavering support for the, for benjamin netanyahu. and the reason for that was the u. s. really ones, the focus this week to be on russia and ukraine. and later on this week they'll be a un general assembly resolution that the, that the us will be introducing, which will be condemning russia is illegal invasion of ukraine. now, if the us earlier in the week that vito's a un security council resolution completely based in international law and previous un security council resolutions, it doesn't do much for the us is the attempt to appear as the all better off international law. and the rules based the rules based order. so they have,
8:33 pm
they came up with this presidential statement which expresses deep concern and dismay with israel's settlement activity, which it also talks about the, the, the legality and so on. but the u. s. doesn't have to veto at bethel, doesn't have to risk losing some support perhaps later in the week from the un general assembly members who will say, wait a 2nd. how come into the national are so important you, when it comes to russia and ukraine, but not on israeli settlement activity in the occupied territories. they also got a deal for 6 months, freeze and unilateral actions by boat, the israelis and palestinians, which is thought to mean no more settlement announcements, no more military while is a decrease in military raids, no more demolitions, an eviction and the palestinians will agree not to bring up israel's illegal activity to international bodies like the un or other human rights groups. capitan's ain't genius than violated a form at the united nations. thanks very much. he had philip had hair on out there and the ukraine war,

8:37 pm
oh, her again. your watching al jazeera. we've got some breaking news coming out of here and syria. places that are still reeling from to devastating earthquakes. another earthquake has just struck near and takia. the 6.4 magnitude quake shook buildings and was felt as far away as bare roots. let's immediately go to our correspondence. who's in gaussian tap into here? i thought big i said you also felt this quake. tell us all about it. well, you have a back to go live. in fact, just just over half an hour ago, we felt the floor move the ground move. we saw people running their next petrol station. the stuff immediately run out. there's some police standing down the road again, bay again run for some cover. the building behind if that has been cold enough
8:38 pm
already talked of it. destroyed because of the the 1st 2 cakes. it began to shake the chandeliers inside to see them shaking. and then we began to hear reports of this earthquake. now we believe that you originated in tyra $6.00 the richter scale . we also hearing reports of some destroyed building unconfirmed at this point in time, but they have been thousands of after shots. and this is the 1st earthquake after those 2 initial ones, initial effects 2 weeks ago. and we have to remember there's been a considerable amount of destruction, thousands of people dead, but also they are still building the standing but have being damaged. now the fear is that if they have, you have to earthquake in fact like this, it could bring down those buildings that have been damaged, causing even further damage to the area or even threat to life. now, when this craig took place, just over half an hour ago,
8:39 pm
we had one of our producers here and get young tip april. now he said that the entire shook and people began to run. it created a sense of panic. we have someone else who has a port and the airport was evacuated. so this field is considerable fit among people of possible strong aftershocks. but this is definitely real, really gay people. we've been speaking to people all week and they've been talking about the logical impact of those crates and the sense of security that has been destroyed. and the authorities here will be concerned about those damage building. i'm probably, you know, the widening the court and i seen the police moving around here thinking about whitening the chord and around some of those damage building where all people who have lost their homes in the 1st quakes 2 weeks ago sheltering. is there any way that's actually safe? as you say, we're experiencing off to shock from one thing they so many
8:40 pm
people inside 10 to 15. so in open space is like football stadiums. so there's been 1050 set up. but people have been moved out of the earthquake. so now the president, wretched type speaking earlier on today. and he said over 300000 people have been moved out of the earthquake zone. so they've been put up in university dormitories . state gets, ties, hotels, sites the zone, but there's still some people inside the city intensities others. i've seen refuse to move from outside of the building because they still have belongings in there and some are still waiting for the bodies of their loved ones to be bought out. so what they've done is set up a tent side, the building that was either damaged or destroyed. they have a fire going to keep themselves warm, but those people will be immediate risk if those buildings are to collapse. so it varies in terms of where people have been, has not rated type,
8:41 pm
or the one said that 1600000 people have found temporary accommodation. but there are still many people within cities that goes on to like kind of an mash, like i type the still in those cities within the earthquake zone. and again, it will be reliving that format. going into 5th, especially when we've just had a stronger earthquake, 6.4 and it comes just a few hours after present, along with, in this region, making his 2nd visit to the effect today. he was making some big promises. wasn't he to rebuild within a year in those promises seem a bit fake, really old, a bit of distance when you're still getting off the shocks that are damaging further building. absolutely. it is a huge and massive task ahead of them. he said give me at least one year and he said that they will rebuild, but they have to remove that level. they have to bring down the damage building and start from scratch. and he also said that they won't have any buildings higher than
8:42 pm
full stories higher. now he's asked people to give him at least one year. he, he's also said that there would be financial help for those affected in terms of destroyed apartments that the money given to people to help them address the money given to people to help them move book he's, he had the year election that wasn't election time for me and if you speak to some people this considerable anger at the government in terms of how was this allowed to happen? why did so many buildings collapse? no, we don't know. so the actions will take place, but if you speak to some people they believe is asking for a year to not only rebuild confidence in the states, but also to rebuild. he's popularity amongst the people. ok, i beg joining us from gaussian type, who felt was that the, the 6 point full of quake that shook the area just within the last hour. let's speak now tuesday in a hotel because she's joining us from bare room. that's another area where this
8:43 pm
earthquake was felt that 1st of all, just tell us what you experienced in the counsel of lebanon. well, the camera was quite strong and it lasted up to 15 seconds. people here are terrified. many of them are now in the streets. people are costs $11.00 on really so those, those tremors initial report suggests that what they felt was a 5 magnitude earthquake. this was what they felt here. now, 2 weeks ago, following the major earthquake on february, the 6th and central turkey buildings here shook. so it was very similar to what happened back then. and the trauma, the anxiety is still fresh and in people's minds. and many are, are concerned because a lot of the buildings across the country really are not structurally sound. many of them are old, dating back to the days of the civil war damaged at. a worry because successive
8:44 pm
governments have really not done anything to enforce standards building, building standards. so people are in the streets. they're concerned that this is a country which has seen its share of disasters. 2 and a half years ago, there was a massive explosion at the ports of bay boot that trauma still as well, fresh in the minds of the people here. in recent recent days, the government carried out inspections in the, in the north of the country. and the single doubt, hundreds of building in the city of tripoli, which were not structurally sound, so that those, that, that tremor was felt it was strong tremor people are terrified and many are now in the streets. answer zayna you've been speaking to people in the northern syria again,
8:45 pm
an area that was devastated by those twin earthquakes 2 weeks ago was ethel sending it over 5000 people. there are many thousands more homeless and area that proving very, very difficult to get to with aid and help. but tell us what people that have been telling you in the wake of this recent earthquake that happened just in the past hour. yes, we are hearing back from our contacts on the ground that some buildings have collapsed in to town. jen, dennis sulking. john davis was among the hardest hit pounds during the february 6 earthquake. so some of the, those buildings have now collapse and also getting reports that 5 people have been injured in another town. tutted that's also in, in, in the north of the country, a very vulnerable region. many of the buildings were damaged during the course of
8:46 pm
a 12 year war thought structurally sound and even very poor building standards. so the majority of the people are now living intense. no doubt. they left those buildings that were damaged. but this is going to create even more fear and anxiety to a population which is struggling to survive. 4000000 people live in this corner. syria is controlled by the opposition to 1000000, cannot survive without the aid. and that was before the february, 6 earthquake, 8 has begun to arrive, but there has been no really coordinated international response. unlike in government controlled areas, you talk to doctors in hospitals and they tell you that we are overwhelmed. we cannot treat the injured. we have many crush injuries, which means we need to provide that kidney dialysis sessions to more patients because question injuries are could have consequences yet. they don't have the
8:47 pm
necessary equipment to do so or they're talking a bandages. they lack bandages, they lack doctors. so they're there, there's an emergency in hospital, there is an emergency in intensity where, you know, people have lost their livelihoods, 8 a 10000 people in all of syria were injured a 1000, a little bit over 8000 in and the opposition controlled north. so all these people need treatment need care. so now with this new tremor and new earthquake, more buildings collapsing, more injuries, this is just gonna cause more suffering to, to people who have been use to years of death, destruction and displacement. they know with that many people needing access, what is happening on the international front to try to negotiate access to these areas through damascus. well, the syrian president,
8:48 pm
bashar, aside a few days ago approved cross line deliveries, which means that the international committed to the united nations will be able to deliver it from government controlled areas until opposition controlled area. now the opposition was alarmed by that. what they were saying was they don't want to be hostages vs again, of a regime that they do not consider legitimate. they believe that bashar assad was trying to exploit the, the tragedy by controlling the entry points or controlling what aid, which is the people what the opposition wanted was for the international community to bring aid from, from, from turkey through cross border deliveries. a few days later, the syrian president did give his approval to open to more crossing. so apart from the bible, holla crossing, which has been used by the united nations for, for
8:49 pm
a few years now. but as we all know, southern turkey has been devastated. a lot of the agencies they were trying to pick up the pieces themselves. so this is not going to be an easy task for a to reach the northern part of syria. but most of the aid has been arriving at government controlled airports in damascus in, in a level. so it's a legit logistical nightmare really for agencies to reach the people in the northwest corner, syria, people who are isolated people who, who are really relying on the support of turkey, which today needs international support following the devastating the devastating earthquakes and the biggest concern now among people in northwest, syria is not just surviving. it's not just about getting food and medical aid. they are seeing a man, the president of syria who they accuse of or who was respond for tens of thousands
8:50 pm
is not hundreds of thousands of deaths, slowly inching his way back on the international stage. it has just been reported that he is an all man visiting a 2nd arab country a year back. he was in the out of ambridge. so our countries are now opening up to be in gauging with charlotte. so these people are not just worried, worried about survival. they're worried about the politics. what, what will their faith be if the, what is the arab world or, or part of the international community we engage with. and without resolving their faith because they cannot and will not live under his rule. so as you can imagine, all, all of these problems compounded after years and years of conflict and, and crisis after crisis. ok, thanks very much. and dave, for insulators from favorite pictures,
8:51 pm
