9:01 pm
and for you back now to our continuing coverage of the breaking news out of tack here. let's check here in syria, still reeling from to devastation earthquakes. another one as just struck near and tack here. the 6.4 magnitude quake shook buildings and was felt as far away as bear route as go straight to bernard smith. he joins us from a donna in southern tech here, but 1st of all, tell us what you felt where you are or it was about an hour ago now that it happened. it was $20.00 oh $4.00 local time. and we were in the lobby of the hotel just to my right hand side with colleagues when the building shook centers all running outside. it lasted about 30 seconds or so on. a lot of families in this hotel who escaped the 1st week and a little very traumatized people. so there's a lot of tears,
9:02 pm
especially from families here with children who are living in this hotel because they've been displaced by the quake. now there was actually been told by the disaster agency in turkey. we had a quake 24 new earthquake classified as an earthquake, a 6.4 on the scale. and then that was followed by an i to shock of the initial quite from nearly 2 weeks ago. so the 1st quick i'm talking about is the one that we felt it was in a place called death now, which is not far from the coast. so now there's also been a warning from the turkish a didn't see that the sea levels could rise by up to 50 centimeters to the warning people to stay away from coastal areas. we are on the other side of what's called the bay of scum durham. so the, the, quite the, the, the, the, the trembling that we felt was absorbed, i guess, somewhat by, by the bay. but because it was close to the, because it was close to the coast. that's why they seem to be, should this warning about,
9:03 pm
arise and sea levels lower. but it does not talk about damaged buildings being further damaged, all at risk of falling down. what do you seeing around you all that being more moves in place to try to reinforce buildings or move people away from buildings that might fall down? well where, where i'm, we're, we're, we're not close to the, we're some buildings damaged here in the initial, quite a couple of years ago. but very little damage in comparison to the main areas and talk here in the province that we have and, and in kind of marsh. so here we don't see much of that, but we do know we are hearing from the local authorities in the province that people should obviously really stay away from damage buildings and we will, i was filming that. we call it yesterday there the, the thing is there are so many precarious buildings. the buildings i know already they're going to have to pull down. but i wouldn't surprise anybody to think,
9:04 pm
but some of those, the force about shock, which again was quite shallow. i've got 16 kilometers deck that the earthquake a newer quite the full will have brought some of those buildings down the areas around those buildings a lot quieter yesterday than it has been recently because people have been evacuated out of that. but there are still people around there are some of the emergency tend to accommodations been set up is not far from base building, not necessarily underneath them, but certainly not way away from these. this new earthquake has happened. ok, burn it many thanks. indeed for joining us to bring in the scene in a donna and to kill, let's bring in my medic. oh, come, he's an assistant professor in jewelry at fair at university and joins us from l as a now in to kia. i'm interested to know from you 1st of all, what makes an aftershock or a quake? this is being called a quake. why is that?
9:05 pm
okay, so and you know, the earthquake started to be m a shock is the largest largest earthquake and then follow by and other small earthquake being called car shock. so to be one of the strongest for shon, portion, see the issue can happen. so it will be seeing these every day they've been cooled off to sharks up to now how, how usual is it to see this continuation of earthquakes or off to show off to touch some major events has happened 2 weeks ago. and 2 in 2 enormous rank on february and then following that we had more than 5000 shot which is quite
9:06 pm
a painted because we so i mean, we know that area in the shops real le from leg moms 2 years. so these earthquakes are huge and we have to, you know, that's why we are expecting to le earthquake is shocked in 2 years or more to years of more after shocks. yeah. yeah. but each day by day it's going to degree day by day. so for example, in 3 months, we feel like 5 in a day and then in 6 months being feel like an earthquake lawn or 2 big day in a year being feel like and one both in like 3 day or 4 days. and then you feel degree degree degree. you're going to learn,
9:07 pm
you learn 20 years. so people who are traumatized by the earthquakes 2 weeks ago who have lost everything and lost their homes, who probably are not sleeping very well because of the continued off the shocks. they have to put up with this for, for 2 years that's, that's the usual situation of exchange actually. i mean, we have another 3 years ago. and so we feel like, i mean, we leave out in every, every year. and then we feel like it's going to happen again, is going to happen again. it's really hard to get used to when you need to overcome dissertation. i think, i mean it's hard but you know you have to overcome. i sounds extraordinary. another thing that i wanted to raise with you was all correspondence said that this had happened quite close to the sea and that have been warnings of sea levels rising by
9:08 pm
50 centimeters. i want to ask you what that actually means. in reality. i mean, it could be, i mean, you know, it could be like because they are not totally way more, almost 3 to say when beaters to the things why it could be about the sea level change. you know, he to be funny. so we don't real real, real money. we don't know the answer to the ok button as a lot of work that you've got to do right now. let to get home with it back. my co come, thanks very much for taking the time out to speak with her on our jazz. aaron. ok, well let's speak now to our fed back. he's at joining us live from gaussian pet in
9:09 pm
take here. and i said, when we spoke, you logged out, you said that just before you came to us for the live, you felt this quake. tell us about the situation there. well, yes, we did fill the earthquake, the buildings behind me shook. we could see the chandeliers inside the damage building, shaking the petrol station. next to us, we saw the staff run out. you saw the pretty stand the street again run for cover. now what i can tell you, since then there's be this picture stations got very, very busy now in speak to some of the people here. and they said that they're filling the causal with petrol, and they will be sleeping in their calls to night. that's the sense of panic among some people have. you've also spoke to others that come back on to the streets. they're scared to go back into their buildings. now what we're hearing from africa, which is the main stage agency that deals with these emergencies, that there were 2 aspects. one at 6.4, the other one at 5.8. and just to give you an idea, the 1st one struck just over an hour ago at, for past
9:10 pm
h local times. since then we've had a considerable amount of aftershocks. we've had 3.67, past 8. then we had 4 on the richter scale, at 13 past 8, a 3.114 past 8. it goes on 7 more. and the last one that we record is worth at 3.5 richter scale at 41 minutes past 8. and those aftershocks are continuing, we're hearing that there has been some building that have come down in haiti. people have been injured. we had to produce a hey guys, young tip airport. he said the airport shook and people ran in panic. we had another producer at tie airport, which is evacuated. now, some of the many buildings have been demolished in the 1st 2 of cakes, 2 weeks ago. those buildings are damaged or are undermined by those initiative breaks the. those are risk of also coming down when we have earthquakes the this strong. so yes, the emergency services here are saying that they're looking into this. they are
9:11 pm
checking buildings again and many buildings like this one have been cordoned off for the safety of people, but to moore's crates, 2 weeks after those very path earthquake that kill tens of thousands. many people her right now are very scared. now we're watching pictures now. coming out from turkey are of elderly people being assisted people walking around, dazed and, and quite frankly, looking traumatized. what people do tonight, where do they go? where do they sleep? how do they sleep? fearing that there might be a repeat of the massive event that happened 2 weeks ago. well is already a considerable amount of people that are living in these 10 cities. many people have been moved out earthquake zones, but some, many people are still here. and as i said, we have been speaking to people, people out on the streets, people are filling their cars with petrol and saying that they're going to sleep in their cars to night. but it is very cold. so there is
9:12 pm
a sense of panic among some people that don't feel safe in their buildings, especially since so many buildings collapse in the initial to earthquakes 2 weeks ago. and it is for the government and the municipality administration to see what that, what they will do, how they can reassure people that their buildings are safe. because or no matter what you say to some people, looking at what's happened to the buildings, they will not feel safe in the building. they will not physically feel secure after witnessing what they have and that word you said that they looked traumatized. many people you speak to here are traumatized. they talk about the psychological effect of the, the earthquakes on them. the home is supposed to be secure, is there safe zone and that gets damaged when that gets destroyed. where do they go? and many people have said that they can't come back to the city the can go back to their homes because they don't feel secure socket, that psychological impact. and it's up to the government and the state really to kind of are read and still that confidence in the places where people live. and
9:13 pm
that's not going to happen until a considerable amount of time and tell buildings are rebuilt and people are assured that their buildings are up to standards and can withstand earthquakes. and that will take some time. indeed, i said, beg, thanks very much for bringing the scene there from garcia's tap as cross over. now to sammy's aid, dan, he's in a donna and southern tech here, and we did just hear from our correspondent banner smith, who was also in a donna, he said he felt it. and as i me, i should imagine you did to tell us your experience well, we were actually on the road back from new door, which was the efie sensor. the 1st earthquake towards donna when the earthquake hits were driving on the highway. we now stopped and we've got out in the streets, we're going off to out to show you what's going on. this is how the streets look like after another quick, after an aftershock. here people out, people are worried. we've been speaking with people and asking them what's going on,

9:17 pm
afraid though, as you can see, let's turn around. we have another team here. wow. we have another team of people here. on the x m last port touch. i'm can mom report such mom kim, dependent who sydney how i am on the i them good. everyday them on the earth, our lemon lease. it was shipped out to lot damage. it was minerva medial door, my, the genitalia dana block. shuttle muscle thought could be all right, let me just turn it. so he saying they felt the earthquake. they were at the airport. they, they felt the situation then they've come from the airport at all. it's a very, it's a very difficult situation right now. people are trying to figure out what to do next. i'm gonna hand it back to you and don't often now. sammy, thanks very much indeed for bringing us that from atlanta and southern tech. he has
9:18 pm
k now, susanna, honda, she joins us from bay rouge, an area they did that. we also felt this quake. yes, the tremor was felt not just in the lebanese capital, but across the country. initial report suggests what people felt was a 5 magnitude earthquake. a lot of people are now in the streets, some of them in their cars, in some areas there are traffic jams, people are worried, they're concerned, they were scared. the building shook very similar to what we experienced on february, the 6 when that earthquake and central turkey, the earthquake that caused so much devastation and death, it was felt in lebanon as well. so this is still fresh in the minds of many lebanese who are also worried about the, their building's not being structurally sound. many of the buildings across the country are old. many of them they back to the days of the civil war. they were
9:19 pm
damaged during the war, and this is a country where governments do not really enforce laws or any building standards. in fact, in the north of the country and the city of tripoli, hundreds of buildings are at risk of collapse. and yet people remain there because they have no other choice. this is a country facing and economic collapse, 80 percent of the population, they're poor, so they have nowhere else to go. so there's a lot of fear and anxiety in lebanon following that tremor. and i know you've been talking to people in northern syria as well. another area that was devastated by the quakes 2 weeks ago. the death told us time to get more than 5000 people. a lot of people still waiting to get any sort of help a troll water people that telling you. and after this recent quake, people are terrified. we are getting reports that some buildings that were damaged
9:20 pm
in the february, 6 earthquake have collapse in, in towns like jen davis, which was one of the hardest hit towns in northern syria. many people are now living in 10th new 10th cities have been set up because this is a corner of serial. where 2 out of 4000000 people are displaced and they live in 10th, but it's not just in the opposition controlled north. we're also getting reports from state to media, other government safe media, other report thing that buildings have collapsed in the city of aleppo as well. and there's panic. there's also panic in the syrian capital, damascus, where people are, are out on the streets. so people in this region have been watching the scenes coming out of central turkey over, over the past 2 weeks. so this is all in the back of their minds. and so that's why there's so so much fear in the northwest of syria, people are struggling. there's still a lot of them still don't have shelter. a lot of them are waiting for international
9:21 pm
aid. food hospitals are already overwhelmed with injured. 10000 people were injured and syria, the majority more than 8000 live in the opposition, controlled north were health facilities were already fragile, were already at risk of, of collapse because of 12 years of war. so doctors have been appealing for bandages . they have been appealing for equipment dialysis in order to carry under carry out dialysis for so many people who are suffering from crush injuries. so there's an emergency situation in syria and then now this new earthquake is just going to cause more more fear and more apprehension. absolutely. ok in a moment, thanks very much indeed for bringing us to view that from beirut and northern syria . well, earlier on monday, the tech is present at up type of unvisited areas affected by the 1st 2 earthquakes

9:31 pm
little i'm feeling here. lori is one of surprise and big gratitude to this visit by the us president his 1st since the war began almost a year ago. rich and symbolism, because it is so close to that year anniversary. people we've been speaking to saying that one line saying that it represented life and victory in his words. other people saying that they literally couldn't believe that biden was here. the 4 minister dmitri qu labor saying that this showed russia that nobody was afraid of them. but of course, this visit comes at a very worrying time, certainly for the ukrainians, and according to western intelligence agencies and ministries of defense, defense experts. they all saying that they are expecting what they are cooling a spring offensive report, solve tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of russian forces,
9:32 pm
building up on the northern borders and to the east, preparing for a push to try and take more ukrainian territory. interestingly, the ukranian president sang again promising that there would be no peace until all the land the russians had taken, wasn't liberated. and we know how controversial that is. but another offer by the us. another pledge of around about half a $1000000000.00 worth of military aid. that in addition to what has already been given billions of dollars, both by the us and by other western backers of ukraine. there are concerns though, that if indeed there was to be a spring offensive weather, in fact that a lot of this military aid is going to arrive on time. we've been looking at the day's events, and this is our report. of the days of speculation, no doubt, weeks of planning us president joe biden arrived in the ukrainian capital. keep.
9:33 pm
nearly a year to the day, russia invaded the white house set that had been basic communication with moscow just before the visit to ensure what it called the conflict taishan. to avoid a miscalculation that could lead to open conflict between the 2 nuclear powers ah, an air raid siren wailed across the city as the 2 men walked near saint michael's cathedral. not uncommon. when world leaders have visited gifts since the war began . you as president, describe the night of the invasion when he called the ukrainian leda zalinski. he admitted he had feared russia could quickly take control of all of ukraine. that dark night. one year ago, the world was lonely at the time bracing for the fall cave. seemed like a lot longer ago than the year. but think back that year perhaps even the end of
9:34 pm
ukraine. you know, one year later keith, stan and ukraine says democracy stairs. the american stand with you and the world stands with you. iden announced an additional half a $1000000000.00 in usa, but there was no mention of new advanced weaponry such as long range missiles. the zalinski says his forces need ukrainian president stress again. there will be no peace until ukraine liberates all its territory. a promise that is among many military analysts and some of ukraine's allies, increasingly unrealistic as the vast cost of this war and its global effects continues to grow, or is malia condition oblivion as was feel for it was the conversation that indeed brings closer our joint victory in this war, we can,
9:35 pm
and we must ensure that 2023 becomes the year of victory, which i want to underline, that this unprovoked and criminal russian war against ukraine. and then tied democratic world much and with the liberation of ukrainian land from russian occupation. and with solid guarantees of long term security for our country, europe, an entire world with you as president's 1st visit to ukraine almost exactly a year since russia's invasion is rich in symbolism and a clear message to moscow. for biden's, zalinski and many of ukraine's backers, maintaining unified support comes at a vital time before an expected intensification of fighting in a so called spring offensive cha, stratford al jazeera cave. as i have been, javert is following the action to biden's visit to keep from moscow. the visit by president joe biden is symbolic because it is happening a day before president vladimir putin is going to carry out his state of the union
9:36 pm
address where he is being to take into confidence. not just a powerful elite here in moscow, but also the russian people about what has happened in the war for one year. but it is going to be seen in moscow as a confirmation of what it stands has been that it is not just fighting the ukrainians, but fighting a global alliance alliance, which has been formed by the united states, western nations, nato, and others to fight russia and it was an existential threat to russia that it had to go to war. but it is also important that we've heard from dmitri met with that this was a pre decided visit. it was on guarantees that russia had given the president joe biden was able to visit. and according to him, he has a promise more weapons and more supplies. more money, do what russia called nazi in ukraine. and this is a study that has continued as we go closer to the one year anniversary. also
9:37 pm
important is russia's allies in moscow, including the chinese top diplomat, who is in moscow and china. not like what we're hearing. and key has been seeing a lot about how to achieve peace, how not to prolong conflict, how the woodside need to come to the negotiating table. this proposed piece plan has not been seen as yet, which is expected to be unveiled, but china is going to show that russia does not stand alone. a in foreign ministers are meeting in brussels to discuss plans to supply more ammunition to ukraine. their mask as to james bay's have more from the belgian capital president biden's visit was news to e. u foreign ministers, who were at the same time sitting down for a meeting in brussels to discuss ukraine as the 1st anniversary of the war approaches. the dutch foreign minister told me it sends a powerful message to president putin and a signal that american president gifts is that we will continue. we will continue
9:38 pm
to help out ukraine with weapons. we will continue to work out a accountability. we will continue with humanitarian 8, a for as long as it takes al thing that is, it is fantastic that he is there. other foreign ministers reacted to the recent comments by the u. s. secretary of state antony blinking. that he feared china might be about to start sending weapons to russia. de massey cheese, dont do it because everything comes like really letting further weapons for destruction of civilian targets, assuming an infrastructure killing civilian people have kids, children. is sam escalating conditional warning? no claim there were those who expected the west. when will not, not to be united when it came to russia's attack on ukraine or we were united. so there is a lesson in that. so i would, i would think that drawing from his lesson of them there would be enough arguments
9:39 pm
for china not to assist her russia in it's i called genocidal war in ukraine. the u foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, told me if china supplies russia with weapons, it will cross a red line. but he said it a weekend meeting in munich, his chinese counterpart had assured him it wouldn't happen. he told me that they're not going to do it, but they don't plan to do it, but will remain vigilant. e u ministers are also well aware that china says it has a peace plan for ukraine, but it's going to unveil in the coming days. diplomats tell me they'll remain pretty skeptical until they see the details. james bowes alger 0, brussels has returned now to our breaking news, another major earthquake striking near and takia as tech here and serious still real from 2 devastating earthquakes. 2 weeks ago. there's $6.00 magnitude quake

9:48 pm
a building that collapsed after this latest earthquake, which was to $6.00 on the richter scale in southern turkey and north eastern syria. we've been hearing a lot from southern turkey about how people have felt this quote and the reactions to it was saying, these pits and put that haven't heard too much about is from northern syria, but now we can speak to abdullah kathy l hum. do. he's an activist and resident of it live. he joins us from the van. now, 1st of all, tell us what you felt when this earthquake happened just in the last 2 hours. now. thanks a lot. in fact, this earthquake, although it wasn't shorter and a little bit weaker than the previous one, but in fact, it caused more horror for people here in north su, yes. so within a few seconds. in fact, even before the end of the ball build the streets,
9:49 pm
people in fact because of their biggest areas have panic, have trauma earthquakes. so all people washed outside including me last time, although it lasted for 2 minutes, i didn't rush out. but despite in fact, i couldn't risk my family's life, so i took them and right out as you see all people in the street and back this caused them. a lot of people do have some accidents, why they are rushing out. some of them, even in fact jammed from a balcony, is just to escape the be great. i can't imagine the trauma and that the terror that people must be feeling so soon after those enormous earthquakes, 2 weeks ago in which thousands of people tragically lost their lives. what, how do you cope or in this situation? how do you return back into your buildings? if indeed they are still standing?
9:50 pm
in fact, all people here now are not safe of anything are not sure and, and they don't trust anything even in their buildings are very strong. and i think because what they have seen it impact mixed all people in fact, you know, you know, losing their, their company does anything, even some, some buildings by the way, have been destroyed. and the last, but fortunately, all these buildings which have glass are empty though a people learn a little bit from the previous one and they didn't risk to live in some buildings which are weak. but people here, i think these 9, none of people with canceling the whole, the whole night, all children, even even most people who are any, anyone who has gone, i'm sure, will not go back before the morning. people nowadays are scared from
9:51 pm
night because do are too strong earthquakes that happen at night. so this be many people nowadays. in fact, for long time we will have this problem out of nice. maybe normally people have problems and nightmare out of nice but know these nightmares are, are not real. it has been extremely difficult to get aid into people who need it in all position held areas in northern syria. what's the situation like for all of these people who have had to leave their homes, or who don't have any homes to go to? how are they surviving? those people in fact, who have been affected by the biggest ever we are still living in very severe conditions as the accommodation for them is not enough. most of these people are living with other families in one small houses or are intent these people even have problems in getting aids at the age still now in fact,
9:52 pm
couldn't reach all those people, but in fact, these 8th street reach some few people who have been affected, we have more than a 1000000 people in this area. and most of these people in fact, couldn't get any access in hayes because in fact, these people didn't know they are not concerned about food, but of maybe because they are concerned about their safety, their family members, safety. but of course, i mean, they are in need, but they are demanding now on each other to latent survive. these people should, did, week 8 and held in the, from every one. also another problem that a fear nowadays, which is cholera. unfortunately, within just few days, we have more than 600 cases of cholera and that's very big number. in fact, for people though, people not, not only in fact are have to work. i mean get food,
9:53 pm
but they have to put it in. don't run it by having clean water. unfortunately you in the whole more than see that you can not get clean water, then you bite the clean water. and of course not most people don't have, i mean, ability to do to bite the clean water. whenever an aide convoy from doctors without borders has managed to enter north west and syria water, the most urgent supplies that are needed by people over in fact, comedy and food are the most important things. this is a common to people, but course if. but if you are thinking about the don't in fact the health material and that the resources in fact are very, very urgent. for example, i know that one of the hospitals you're in office have been damaged not by any test or resources or stuff. so the other was that you can also they haven't pressure to view pressure and then the impact on people here are also it. these hospitals need
9:54 pm
a military sources, but for people accommodation and food, they are the most urgent needs. and then i'm speaking now, barry urgent needs the answer to agreement is negotiating with the r 5 government to get more aide in through damascus. are you hopeful that that will open up in fact, people here don't get this seriously from us and redeem. and even if and regime one really to get some food come boys through his with areas into our areas. it's not gonna be body material. it aim is going to be just political aim and game. so this mean they might, they might have been once or twice just in front of the world to tell them that i deliver it with syria, but it really is a reality. this is a game that to get on aids from the international community to both of the areas.
9:55 pm
then this area, baber, i mean, full favor. it's gotta be under that as a dream. and of course, this will affect the lives of millions who are living in the studio. so this isn't why you people in fact, they make sure for the international community and that all age to come through 30, not through this year reading areas. i don't, we've seen in the immediate aftermath of the 2 enormous, devastating earthquakes 2 weeks ago, the white helmets stepped in to do as the 1st responders of the people who stood in 4 otherwise years state run organizations. how successful have they been in these scenarios in rescuing people from the buildings and being able to organize the help that people need? although in fact they have really shortage in resources and equipment. so depends showed that he heroic deeds is driving people,
9:56 pm
lies and rescuing them from under the rubble. and even in rescuing many people, i mean and moving transport them into hospitals and demons. the medical staff showed her a gives in saving peoples. these people, in fact, it shouldn't be, in fact will generally people according to what they have done within days. i know many people who may be just have a sled, few hours within $45.00 days and they are sleeping in their houses and some doctors were sleeping in the operational rooms. these be more, did a lot of job and even more of them, all of them were overwhelmed by, i mean, by doing their jobs. but of course they are human beings and they might get early, more run out of interview on time once. but nevertheless, what they have done, i think it's much better than in many organizations that can do which have much better equipment and resources. and let's bring it by his back to this quake that
9:57 pm
has just happened. now, what are people doing now? how are they coping with what they just experienced and how they can so didn't live through the night? how are they going to comfort each other? how are they going to continue living in these existence? i mean, we were hearing of these aftershocks, they may be continuing for up to 2 years. this is something that people are going to have to live with. first of all, i was didn't you, again about the good, the civil defense and dispute teams. all of them know are in the street and there are frame. do i mean send some people who have some problems or accident? you couldn't. you know, their parent nick, their fear of the earth wake but who normally be more than fine. none would convince them to go back home or during this night you wednesday would be was living in the car. you will see all these people. in fact, hey, i really well have to leave at, for apologies. we are about to come offer. so i will have to leave it there,
