5:04 am
a decade old civil war. the situation in theory, i mean it's hardy ball in the title area. even before that, rick now is suffering more and more. all those people in fact, who have been directly affected or even those people who have been injured affected are living very severe in condition. back in turkey, hot eyes man says look, trapped under the rubble. one of those poured into the streets another night in the cold, sammy's day than al jazeera, i've done to the kia or the quake stroke near the city. if on talkin, let's speak to us. i beg, that's where he is right now. i believe a huge rescue operation going on where you all, what more can you tell us a well rescue workers have been working throughout the night since that way. so now we understand that there were 4 men inside this building when that hit
5:05 am
and the building collapsed, shopping them inside. now one man has been recovered. 3 are still inside. we understand that the rescue workers are located. 2 of those men are working to try and get them out. now we've been hearing the machinery working behind us and the workers going in and out. now, no one was living in these buildings. what actually happened was that these men had come to take away some of the belongings, despite the warnings from authorities telling people not to go inside buildings. i understand they had a van here and they were going to take their belongings, act when that pitch. now we've been speaking to some of the rescue workers and they said that the rescue workers, actually some of them had been leaving the area that they had been winding down the operations. what was actually taking place of recovery operations, looking for bodies when this earthquake didn't expect it to hit just as when, after shops has been thousands of after shots. but no one expected another think i need so soon just 2 weeks after the other 2 that devastated this region. now
5:06 am
around this area, the demolished buildings, the ones that are standing are severely damaged when this earthquake hit that caused panic loose or people that petrol stations filling up their cars, saying that they weren't going back to their homes, they're going to spend the night sleeping in their cars, we saw people out on the streets, wrapped in blankets come out of their homes, saying that they don't want to go back inside. they still felt scared. and when you have those aftershocks and when you have the earthquake, it makes people re live that trauma, is it that fear re emerges. and there is a sense of panic in some places. but at least here we've been seeing the rescue. workers go up and down, working away, trying to free those men. now we understand that they have located to of them, but the 3rd one they haven't located yet, but they're working to free. those 2 in the last few hours, there's been several teams going in and out of the building behind me. i said,
5:07 am
tell us a bit more about what the mood is like there. i mean, these people have already lived through to add quakes. now another one in, under 2 weeks, people are feeling anxious. there's fear that they're scared. because like i said, these aftershocks have continued thousands of them and now earthquake, 6.4 on the richter scale. and there's reports that there's 3 rescue operations going on across the city. there's been over 294 people injured 18 critically. the people in the hospital in a hacked i, i've been taken to a dana hospital of emergency services. again, have been called out for rescue operations that people didn't expect. this is this sense of how much more people expect people are versus the rest of time out of the and has said that over a 1000000 people haven't moved out of the earthquake areas into temporary
5:08 am
accommodation. but they are still people here. although they are very few in this city, but we blind the 10th cities that people are in temporary accommodation. and when this earthquake hit, people are just really, really scared. i saw people act on the streets with their children in their cars, blankets around them because the temperatures are very low, just fearful that another 3 could strike, that could be strong after shot buildings could collapse because the ones are still standing up very badly damaged. i said, beg, speaking to us that near the 3rd earthquake that has struck near the city of anti cat, the u. s. sexiest states has left takia just hours before the latest quake, anthony blinking, assured his turkish counterpart at washington would fully support the recovery efforts. said em, consillio has more from ankara. this is the 1st official visit by us secretary of state and senate blinking to took here since he took office 2 years ago. he arrived

5:12 am
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 keith since the war began. you as president, describe the night of the invasion when he called the ukrainian leader zalinski. he admitted he had feared russia could quickly take control of all of ukraine that dark night. one year ago. the world was literally at the time bracing for the fall cave. seems 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 stanish and ukraine says,
5:13 am
democracy stays, the american stand with you. and the world stands with you. widen announced an additional half a $1000000000.00 in usaid. 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 conditionally ran atmosphere. but it was the conversation that indeed brings closer our joints victory in this war. so we can 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,
5:14 am
and with solid guarantees of long term security for our country, europe, an anti world that l. u. s. 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 expected intensification of fighting. the so called spring offensive, cha, strafford al jazeera cave, the as president has now arrived in poland, travelling by train form ukraine is alan fish explains from war so biden's surprised visit to a country in the grips of war was a major undertaking. 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

5:16 am
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 a key of to traffic off for a couple of hours. ah, 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 warsaw, still head on al jazeera will tell you why residence in ohio a skeptical that the small town of east palin signs, and we'll say safe ah
