12:01 am
hello, lauren taylor, this is the al jazeera news. i live from london coming up, buildings crumbling, took years. what i province as a new magnitude, 6 point for earthquake shakes the region. it says people running back into the streets, 2 weeks off to powerful quakes, killed more than 47000 people into kia and syria. ah, errands are in sound as u. s. president joe biden makes an announced visit to ukraine's capital and brazil's president towards a popular resort region by floods and lamb slides have killed east $36.00 people. ah. a new magnitude, 6.4 earthquake has struck, 2 kias had tie province. exactly 2 weeks after powerful quakes devastated the area
12:02 am
and killed more than 47000 people. the epicenter of the latest quake was near the city of antique yet, and was felt in syria, and as far away as lebanon. so far, 3 people have died. and another 213 have been injured. alicia earthquake has led to a number of buildings collapsing, including these in took his hat. i province. it's mess as people stock under rubble around the province. and also reports of power outages near the latest earthquakes represented in a holder is in beirut. there's been following developments in syria. we understand that some buildings collapsed. they were already structurally unsound, damaged from the earthquake 2 weeks ago. there was nobody inside, but the syrian civil defense in the opposition controlled northwest to report the 125 injuries mainly as a result of panic. some people actually jumped from their balcony.
12:03 am
so you have this, you know, people, people are frightened. the, the, the tragedy is only unfolding in the corner of syria and hospitals. there is still an emergency. doctors are still dealing with the thousands of cases of injuries as a result of the, the 2 earthquakes. 2 weeks ago, doctors are telling us that they are dealing with so many crush injury that they have to increase could need dialysis sessions, but they're unable to do that because they just don't have the equip. so they're dealing with an emergency. and then the 3rd major earthquake in 2 weeks of these people have nowhere to go. in many ways, they're trapped in a corner of syria surrounded by the government, syrian armed forces. and they have been at war for 12 years, and they cannot cross into turkey. turkey, southern turkey itself,
12:04 am
devastated by the earthquake so, so these people left to deal with this with this disaster alone. in fact, since they one they have been appealing for international assistance. and while some aid has trickled in, it is still not enough to deal with with the crisis. amazon is i 1st, in a donna in the 7 to kia and imagine the fear must have been terrible when the latest earthquake happened. i was indeed, and we saw a repeat of the sort of scenes of panic of fear that we saw well 2 weeks ago to this day on monday. when the 1st quick hit, let me 1st bring you up to speed though with what's going on. we have a developing situation that's going on right now in high city where we believe there are 6 people trapped alive in the rubble of 3 different buildings. the
12:05 am
minister of interior showed up at the scene of one of those buildings where they believe 3 people are rescue teams are there, they're trying to get them out the rubble. obviously everybody is hoping that we're not going to see the same sort of high numbers of people trapped on the rubble emerging. it's still a bit fluid. we know so far that 28 buildings have collapsed in the high region from this latest earthquake. 3 people have been killed, and 213 people have visited hospitals because of this latest earthquake. so very clearly, this is another cycle in a country that has been wrong, and the region that has been rock says dana was revolting. where this extends obviously to syria and much further beyond. so in the coming hours, things will become clear about the hope. saw that as things become clearer, the damage will not be as extensive as was the case in the 1st couple of
12:06 am
earthquakes. lauren and semi you've been talking to people what, how are they going to spend the night? because roommate changes the feelings for people say if they feel that they're building could collapse at any moment that they might want to consider keeping outside. again, that is a big concern. i was walking around the street. when this earthquake happened, we were driving on the highway from the center of the 1st quite no dollar on our way to donna and we got out the car. i started talking with people and people were clearly worried. a lot of people were in the streets at that point. a lot of people were afraid to go back in doors. well now we started to see people trickled back in those, but they kind of hanging out on the ground floor of buildings. and i've been talking to people saying, okay, well, where are you going to spend the night? and people are still figuring that out. and a lot of people are saying to me, you know what, i'm just going to sleep in the car. i'm going to sleep on the lobby,
12:07 am
be close to a door who's not only the physical damage and the that's been done it's, it's also the psychological damage that's being done to people psych, you remember that there's been many, many off the shocks in some parts of this earthquake hit region with the off, the shops have barely stopped and this is continuously traumatizing people. so you know, people are not feeling very safe in doors at this point. lauren: semi didn't thank you very much indeed. because i said baker's in her ty province, and i understand that the people that have been concerned in us talking up for potentially nights out out of out of their houses, just to have just to reiterate for some he's just been telling you is we've seen people at petrol stations tree and got to through that the cause we've spoken to
12:08 am
them and they say that they want to spend the night the night in, in the vehicles. for some people actually the roads are busier, people are leaving the area. it's this is just adding to the former that they've already felt and experienced and witnessed. many people that are out on the streets and gassy, entered where we were holding out, wrapping themselves in blankets again out on the streets, feeling insecure, not wanting to go back inside. and it was a sense of panic and fear taking cold because 2 weeks ago they experience those earthquakes. i'm to use almost to the day again, more quick after shops and even after those initial dates that we felt earlier on to have been several after. so everyone was speaking to here, there's a sense that many people want to get as many people don't want to go back inside the buildings. and we saw children and families inside the vehicles getting ready for a night out outside seeking in the vehicles. and i said it's in the last couple days,
12:09 am
routine search and rescue teams actually leaving turkey. and now we're back to people trapped under the rubble in some parts of her tie province. how difficult is it going to be to go back to that kind of a rescue operation when people have sort of it, some people have start to move away from that. well yes, there were wrapping up the search and rescue and it was in many places there were just cleaning up taking away some of the rubble. now they are still teams on the ground turkish teams on the ground so they will be available. but it's not as from what we can gather, it's not as widespread as the previous earthquake. so this seems like his just in hat. i re re harring dub, arrive, 20 buildings have been affected, and some people are track that that rubble. but there are still teams on the ground, or even in garcia into where we were. and in high tide, they are still africa teams operating. they're taking part in the kind of like
12:10 am
wrapping up of the search and rescue clearing up. but they're still on the ground, so we assume that those people will be able to work immediately. but again, that no one expected to more earthquakes i sent make. thank you very much. indeed. i'm who coffee, a 100 is an activist and resident of italy been the rebel held north west of syria, eat old, as most people have learned to stay away from weak buildings after the previous quakes. 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 afflicted because what they have seen, it impacts make all people in fact, you know, you know, losing their cross, their country does any thing, even some, some buildings by the way, have been destroyed and the land. but fortunately, all these buildings which have been the collapse are empty. the people in fact
12:11 am
learned a little bit from the previous earthquake and they didn't risk to live in some buildings which are weak. but people here, i think these 9, none of people will, can sleep the whole, the whole night. all children, even, even most people who have any, anyone who has gone, i'm sure, will not go back before the morning. people nowadays are scared from nights because do are stronger when that happens at night. so this the met people nowadays, in fact, a long time, we will have this problem out of life. maybe normally we will have problems and nightmare out of night, but no in these nightmares are, are real. those people who have picked in by the biggest week are still living in very severe conditions. as the accommodation for them is not enough. most
12:12 am
of these people are living with other families in one small houses or are intense. these people even have problems in getting aids at the age. now, in fact, couldn't reach all those people who have a 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 is because in fact these people didn't know they are not the concern about to it, but maybe because they are concerned about their safety or family member safety. but of course, i mean they are in need, but they are depending now on each other to survive. these people should get weak 8 and held in the from everyone. what is the 1st quakes? people in many parts of the devastated areas in syria have been going through the rebel themselves because of a lack of equipment,
12:13 am
a volunteer from the syrian civil defense group watch helmets is one of those searching for survivors with his bare hands. they know how to report and what has gone through since the quote. for years mohammed, he has, he dug people out of collapse buildings after bombing raids by the serial armed forces and the russian allies. on february 6, he woke up to a different disaster, a powerful earthquake whose epicenter was across the border and southern turkey, levelled neighborhoods across the opposition controlled northwest of syria. he pulled bodies from rubble and saved others. but mohammed tells us how a story of hope can quickly turn into tragedy. 7, the saddle, awfully. we saw a child's hair in the rebels and we wanted to reach her alone. we use our hand to remove the breeze until we found her with her mother and was holding or that they are both dead and open. there's also a dead man close to them. then my colleague heard a faint voice under the bodies. there was a child crying, she was saying,
12:14 am
i'm here. the. that voice was of 9 year old on war. she was still alive more than 40 hours since the initial earthquake civil defense volunteers use their hands to dig because they didn't have sophisticated equipment to reach survivors quickly. and with us, when we heard the voice, we were overwhelmed with joy, especially since we're only removing bodies. i spoke to her for almost 2 hours alone. her father, mike mohammed was also hopeful that at least one member of his family was still alive. he wasn't in his village when the earthquake struck people in this corner of syria. no tragedy all too well. it's home 2 millions who are no strangers to death, destruction and displacement. g tillman. when i arrived here on tuesday night, i saw the building on the ground. my whole family was under the rubble until i heard the faint voice of when i heard her at so much hoping that change when they
12:15 am
told me she didn't survive. the phone war was still breathing. when mohammed removed her from the debris, i mean, they tried to save her life, but the 9 year old didn't make it to hospital. i couldn't much, but i still remember how scarce she was how she cried. i tried to keep her comb, but she kept holding my hand asked me not to let the roof crusher. mohammad had to give her lifeless body wrapped in a blanket to her father. since that day he says he can still feel the touch of unworthy hand than her else's eda. earlier on monday turkish president, richard her ed. one mister, there is affected by the 1st 2 earthquakes and promised that everything will be rebuilt. was rest assured and be positive, we will restore all homes, institutions, and other facilities. we will rebuild the entire area from scratch,

you as president joe biden promised to stand with ukraine for as long as it takes, as he made an unannounced trip to the capital keith. the historic visit on monday came days before the 1st anniversary of russia's invasion in a joint news conference with president not amazing. lensky biden pledged $500000000.00 in additional military aid to ukraine and further sanctions against russia. charles stratford reports from keith of the days of speculation, no doubt, weeks of planning us president joe biden arrived in the ukrainian capital keep. nearly a year to the day, russia invaded the white house said there 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.
12:23 am
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. the u. s. president describe the night of the invasion when he called the ukrainian leda landscape. 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 a year. but think back that year. perhaps even the end of ukraine, you know, one year later keith, stan and ukraine says democracy stays, the american stand with you. and the world stands with you. i hadn't announced an
12:24 am
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 stressed 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 was more condition oblivion atmosphere. but it was the conversation that indeed brings closer our joint victory in this war. we can and we must ensure that 2023 becomes the year of victory. i want to underline that this unprovoked and criminal russian war against ukraine, and then tied democratic world must end with the liberation of ukrainian land from russian occupation, and with solid guarantees of long term security for our country, europe, and the entire world. u. s. president's 1st visit to ukraine almost exactly
12:25 am
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 expected intensification of fighting. the so called spring offensive cha, stratford al jazeera cave, he as president, is now arrived in poland, travelling by train from keith. his surprise visit to ukraine. country in the grips of war was a major undertaking, as on fishing explains from warsaw. as president joe biden went for dinner in washington, dc, late on saturday, final plans were being laid for his trip to keep the decision to go was taken. on friday, the arrangements had been discussed over several months. the template was established last year when the secretary of state and the defense secretary visited ukraine over night train, small entourage, black coat, windows. the white house kept
12:26 am
a tight lead on the news, even issuing biden's schedule for how you would spend monday in washington and the cross, even as he was travelling half a world away in america. stand with you and the world stands with you. he has captured a part of my heart. i must say. it's not unusual for presidents to make trips to conflict zones. rock obama did it in afghanistan, donald trump, iraq. but both times the u. s. controlled the air space. ah, that's what made biden's trip more dangerous. and that's why the white house told the russians just hours before to avoid any mishaps which could spark a bigger problem on the ground. the security had to be unbelievable by the ukrainians because the u. s doesn't have a military presence in ukraine, and so you've got air defense security to worry about. you got these possible elements on the ground. and it required that the shutting down essentially the key of to traffic off for
12:27 am
a couple of hours when he traveled to poland last year, president biden was reportedly keen to cross the border, but was overruled by his secret service. the people who protect him this time with more notice they could make it work. security will be ramped up here when joe biden makes a major address to mock the 1st anniversary of the ukraine war. but no matter what he says, what will be remembered more than the speech is the visit that came before it. alan fisher, al jazeera walsall, as was more still to come this ha, ah, thousands of israelis protest outside parliament as it starts debating the government's plans to weaken the powers of the supreme court. and the un security council formerly denounced is the israeli government plan to build and expand settlements on occupied palestinian territory. ah
12:28 am
well, it is a damaging li, windy we came to the winds. contingent starts the week that this is the wind, the area which is actually followed by cloud. this is the active frontal zone, which brings rain or snow for the west. europe settled on the high pressure all east. so it looks at the picture on tuesdays clear the windy one from jimmy 3, poland eventually towards you. credit with the snow or cross in southern rushes, quite intense. they'll have to say with the wind blowing quite strongly off the black sea. as you can see, this is the area really active and cold weather in europe. it doesn't affect turkey after mondays or tuesday looks fine on sunday for the most part. and further west in europe, where pressure was highs be eaten into by clyde and rain. so off or rather warm spell in france for example. it's not the same fitting at all. blue represents rain light ish. there it is. away from europe into north west africa. we have seen
12:29 am
plenty of right inst i recently now just scattering a shower to dry picture for the most. the ha martin is dying down a bit still full of dust and sand. take the for sale even further into nigeria. but generally speaking, a dry and less windy picture in southern africa. it has be very wet in south africa, less so. no. but freddy psycho is about to hit madagascar ah. near to moment. if they treat it like a fame and success and a multi $1000000.00 despite the did you need to pull her ambition is challenged by some nation and cultural tradition. hollywood fema on. i just even examining the
12:30 am
impact of today's headlines. this is what is the, what about ensuring that learning center can continue? let count on that. setting the agenda for tomorrow's discussions. i don't believe that. i think in mystify, feed that is willing to kill international filmmakers and world class journalists bring programs to inform and inspire you need to have a media ensuring that voices are heard. on al jazeera lou, the me, one of the top stories 0, a new magnitude, 6 point for earthquake has struck,
12:31 am
took he has had tie province. exactly 2 weeks after powerful quakes, devastations the region. at least 3 people have been killed and another 213, injured in the nation. earthquake on monday. quake struck new city of antonia and syria, and as far away as lebanon. at least 47000 people are now known to have died. cynthia earthquakes on february, 6th, or 41000, were to kia and nearly 6000 in syria in both rebel and regime held areas of the country. and you, as president joe biden is probably to stand with ukraine for as long as it takes during an unannounced visit, the capital keys in a news conference with president sky and pledged $500000000.00 of additional military aid to ukraine. and further sanctions against russia. you for mrs. be meeting in brussels to discuss plans to supply more ammunition to ukraine, to promote,
12:32 am
to get to james bay's has more for the belgium data 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 for a minister told me it sends a powerful message to president putin and a signal that the american president gives is that we will continue. we will continue to help out ukraine with weapons. we will continue to work out a accountability. we will continue with humanitarian aid 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. the massy cheese, dont do it because everything comes like the, the letting further weapons for destruction of civilian targets,
12:33 am
assuming an infrastructure killing civilian people who keith's children. a sam escalating traditional warning claim. there were those who expected the west will not, not to be united to when it came to russia's attack on ukraine and we were united. so there is a lesson in that. so i would, i would think that drawing from his lesson and them like there would be enough arguments 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. they don't plan to do it, but will remain vigilant. e ministers are also well aware that china says it has a piece plan for ukraine that it's going to unveil in the coming days. diplomats
12:34 am
tell me they'll remain pretty skeptic until i see the details james, bose algae, 0, brussels in the herring, as senior fellow at the atlantic councils eurasia center. she joins me now live from washington. d. c. thanks for being with us. so kelly is being stated many times. this is a hugely symbolic visit from biden to, to keith. beyond that, what do you think it's achieved? hey, lauren, great to be with you. so i think it's reassured the ukrainian people this is not a happier, pleasant moment. the fighting is very, very hard, especially in the east right now. and this is the week of, of the 1st anniversary. it is symbolic. the $500000000.00 is great, but it's not new assistance. and ukrainians are really looking for fighter jets and that, that commitment. i think it will likely open a gulf between washington and key of and this is one thing that i'm concerned about . the expectation from key of is that washington is going to continue to do more.
12:35 am
and i'm not sure that washington is going to be able to increase the assistance even more at this point. given the political realities here in washington, you mentioned fighter jets there in passing. i mean, given the pattern that we've seen so far with the west saying know to certain requests and then eventually saying, agreeing to them later, didn't fighter jets will be given to you granular eventually i think eventually yes, that fighter jets will be given but that the brits and the polls again are going to lead the way. we've seen that a couple of times. the white house is resistant and berlin is resistant on fighter jets and i, it was all this on tanks as well. we saw the british lead the way and then the polls came out and stuck their next out in eastern europeans. we know are quite enthusiastic on, on fighter jets as well. so that's the pattern i expect to see again and again. what about the warning that china might be potentially thinking of helping to arm russia if that were the case? how would that change that? the dynamic? so all laser on the chinese right now, they're playing a a double game. they are talking about a piece plan that they're going to unveil on friday. we don't know
12:36 am
a lot of the details, but we do know that they're not going to name russia as the aggressor. so on one side of the mouth or talking about peace on the other side of the mouth, they've been giving out the beginning uniforms and flak jackets of the chinese. and the u. s. has intelligence that seems to indicate that they may sell lethal weapons . would this be a game changer? no, it will make it more difficult for ukraine to achieve victory. russia is using a lot of ammunition and this war is going to devolve into a race to resupply and ammunition is going to be in short supply. at the height of the war, the russian side has been using 20000 shells a day, and the ukraine's were shooting more like 6 or 7000. and there's real concerns as your correspondence said, about making sure that the ukrainians have all the ammo they need. and what about the the support full of ukrainians? how solid is that? is the unity that, that talked about. so i went to point every one to gallop whole. they just did
12:37 am
a poll it, it shows that 65 percent of americans across the board want the u. s. to support ukraine even if it needs extending the war. and the interesting thing is that figure was the same as last year. so when we will talk about ukraine fatigue, it's not true. now if you dig in, there are significant partisan differences between democrats and republicans. the republican side has gotten wobbly. it's not uniform. but look, there's bipartisan support for you. korean on capitol hill. it's going to remain that way, president biden reminded americans to day on presidents day. why freedom matters and why he personally believes so ardently in the cause. so i think the assistance will continue. it's going to be harder and harder. and as we get closer to the presidential election, but biden, you know, by the looks a lot like truman today, it was a great day for american leadership and a great day for key of and into hearing. thank you very much need, don't us. thank you. here in the you caking charles's visited ukrainian troops
12:38 am
being trained in the south west of england, he watched a defensive training exercise, unmet recruits training with british and international partner forces in wilcher. he met instructors from a variety of nations including using and australia, canada, sweden and finland. british forces began training ukrainian soldiers in the u. k. last june. full months after russia invaded ukraine. fortune. $5000.00 pregnant russian women of channel george and tina in recent months. and this week, dozens more on the way the latest arrivals or in their final weeks of pregnancy. it's believe the war with ukraine is prompting them to seek argentinian citizenship for their unborn children. there's a book as well. media. cool. yeah, cool. we're arrived in argentina last december. she's from russia, but decided to leave her country because of the war in ukraine. yeah, yeah. right. okay. she was $28.00 weeks pregnant when she landed in when a site is now she has a son, jo nel was born in january and named after argentina's football style. yeah. natal
12:39 am

12:43 am
as fast as possible and isn't the 1st deadly landslide that brazil has suffered to what was the reason for this? well, one reason is that people build houses are people that, that are poor people. they build houses on the mountain ah, in, in areas that should not, they're not made to be built because exactly, they're prone to landslides. the construction isn't well made. so there is a heavy rain fall in stones and debris come down. ah, these people get killed and this is not the 1st time. this has happened. eyes you were saying. so one reason, but the people here, they always return to these places, even if after a disaster like this one. and they say that is because there is no cheap house thing for them. they need to live close to the place where they work. and if they pay rent in, in a house is if it's too expensive. so we were talking to

12:45 am
supplies ah, which then are distributed by the farm and to these other areas. some areas which are not accessible by road, the ones that have been the most affected on. so that's how what they've been doing . some people are sleeping in the church, some 300 people were sleeping there. last night, they're expecting to receive more people because people are being forced out of their home some 2000, even though their houses are still standing. they are afraid that they will tumbled down if it starts raining again. monica, you know, here. thank you very much. indeed. thousands of people gathered outside israel's parliament in west jerusalem 1000000 to protest against the government judiciary reforms. the class, it was holding its 1st reading of a controversial amendment to overhaul the countries legal system. having weeks of rallies denouncing the netanyahu government's proposals to weaken the powers of the supreme court, which critics say are anti democratic. the 1st proposal gives israel's parliament

from charlie and the chocolate factory will no longer be described as fat. but enormous. the word fat will be removed from every one of his books. it says twit from the twits will no longer be ugly and beastly. she'll simply be beastly. the phrase, a weird african language will no longer include the word wid and instead of a threat to knock her flat in matilda younger will be threatened with a right talking to crime leaves is the will for the novel. these walls were never really there. he knew he georgia life, man, just a thanks very much for being with us. so what do you make of this change to the dal books who and the ra surrounding it? thank you. so i think it is just that bar. i mean, i personally enjoy rolled out to the child. i've got the all to now who's 9. you also, you know, i've enjoyed read them with us. we have these books don't breeze. people into bullies all may start to next and they're all right. i think a much bigger issue if children not having access to books and i think that's what
12:55 am
we should be focusing on rather than changing books of the past. so what, what do you think publishes and the, the del family gone down this route? i mean i, i understand the decision to and then the world has changed since roll dial roll and publish those books. but i think we should be looking forward to publish a new mother and books and not change in the past. i think it does that the service to children who are intelligent enough to read these books and set out the contact on the spam they were from another time and, and come to their own conclusion. yeah, that's business, especially with people who are concerned about this. and if the free speech element, salman rushdie, for example, it with alters atomic buses is said to roll doll was no angel. this is absurd. censorship, puffing books in the dallas states should be ashamed. presumably the danger is that if you start changing one book, you could, you could move on to, to any book and start kind of rewriting everything. well, yeah, exactly, and i don't think, i mean tillman's book publishing don't have issues right now today. it's not dive
12:56 am
and we should be locked in. but i think to go and revise those books for the past. actually visit the service, the children, you know, they are able to understand context and i don't think we give them enough credit as intelligent readers to understand the okay, this person wrote these things and they're in contact and the world has may have done. and i think we're almost policing the readings for children for them, and they're capable, perfectly if they're not themselves and tell me what do you think that publishes could do instead, instead of kind of rewriting this, what would be other ways of, of raising a 5 or making it clear that some of this might might be something that people might know language who might not want to use these days. so i think a perfectly reasonable thing would be to republish these bolts with new forwards from other and off as explaining kind of the context. so when they were written and i know for old doll himself and his personal views. well, you know, ambrose, i spoke to joy, an entertainment of millions of children,
12:57 am
and i just think we should preserve them if they are some compact period books. we should recognize that children are intelligent enough to read and come to their own decision. and what about the, the, the, the effect of the route? do you think that the publishes and the role dallas state might change their minds? i'm not sure about, i'm not sure where the wrote, i think the role book to in the original forms will and joel for a long, long time. so i struggled to see how this is going to change our interpretation of the older than to kind of fantasize those books or make them less than pain and enjoyable for children. brian, please thank you very much need for joining us. and just a quick monday can always catch up on our website course details there of the latest quakes. it's hit turkey and syria, and that was a $6.00 megs, huge earthquake. it struck in took his hat, i province just 2 weeks after the powerful quakes devastated the region. these to 3
