12:04 pm
terror has come again. on the audio jack, we were very scared. we thought the ground would tear apart. a nation rocked just 2 weeks after twin s craig's appended the lives of millions, killing tens of thousands and destroying countless homes. it was very shaky. we hardly stood up. it was very difficult, you know, you know, it was going to happen. we were expecting that. so. right now, so we are expecting more. so everybody should be, you know, more prepared about this. this is the moment the quake struck a leper in rebel hauled, northern syria, more misery for people suffering severe shortages in food medicine and has him on top of a decade old civil war family. the already sleeping on the streets in freezing conditions, back into kia, had time messes people,
12:05 pm
to under the rubber people poured into the streets another night in the cold of a sense of fear prevailed. thousands of after shock and this late earthquake has people asking where they can go to be safe. i thought based off of the rob mcbride joins us live now from destiny. they, at the center of monday's quake, robot tell us more about these latest earthquakes. that's right, these 2 quakes really adding more misery and suffering to an area. people that have already suffered so much. this is the district of daphne. this is on the edge of the city of takia, one of the cities that suffered so much of the devastation of this earthquake 2 weeks ago. and this was the center of one of those quakes that happened at about 8 p. m. local time. here it was measured 6.4 in magnitude, so he was a substantial quake here. and it happened at the time when people were coming back
12:06 pm
to buy buildings that already ready been damaged and have been looking through sifting through what used to be that homes looking for possessions. where on a wall street that is seen now extra damage this building here. this used to be a 5 story building like the building side, the side of it. this had been damaged in the initial quake, but had still been standing sadly people tragically were back inside this building . when this a 2nd quake happened and rescue was had to recover 3 bodies from this one, building old down the street to we are told by the soldiers who been here for a week now that who they've said that the quake from monday nights has completely changed once again, the look of the street, the street was already very badly damaged you as you walk along here already, some of the buildings were already gone. they were turned into piles of rubble. other buildings that were still standing, they may have been toppled,
12:07 pm
which ones down one side. they were still standing even though they were damaged. some of those buildings were even further damaged. as we've already seen, a number of the buildings completely collapsed once more adding to these piles of rubble. here, when the devastating scenes there will be recovery effort from the original earthquakes was challenging enough, but this will shortly make matters even worse. that's right here and on tech. yeah, i think on a sunday day i now it's the last to actual rescue operation, looking for survivors in one building. so efficiently on sunday, the actual rescue efforts had stopped. they are now moving into the recovery phase and still with the people who are living in that thousands intensive cities all around here and other cities that have been wanting to get back into buildings to try to get possessions what they can salvage. again, this is thrown all of that into confusion that it is raised. alarm the people who
12:08 pm
were once again living out in the streets and the tents were once again outside breed living. if you like old the trauma of living through earthquakes once more. and since sunday and since monday nights, earthquakes, we have been having literally schools of more after shops. so it is incredible concern for everybody who is here trying to rebuild their lives, wondering when that's going to happen. also for the construction effort that is meant to get underway as we were driving through and tucked up and used to be just pointing out all the different registration plates of literally hundreds and thousands of vehicles of takers of excavators that are all being brought to this part of turkey a to, to start the effort of clearing away rubble of reconstruction. but all of that clearly is on hold. while we wait to see what other treadmills, what other quakes we might have in this already very badly affected area. well, mcbride, thank you. we're staying with his resume, said join his life from the crossing and the north western syrian city
12:09 pm
a friend. so how are people coping with earthquakes? while this more the gate here has been opened in 2018 of the tricky conduct. the military incursion in syria and since then it was usually use for the military purposes. however, after the earthquake, now it is being also used for humanitarian aid as well. not far from here, just tank intimate is away. there's a town of gender as and fit 25 kilometers deeper. that is our freen. so this to city is parked in 2 towns, particularly we're here to very bad here. and yet the at, as, as a result, more than 7 houses more than 6000 people have died. 150000 people are now displeased again so, and also there are many more thousands that are still waiting for the house and
12:10 pm
they are injured. so i have been talking to the syrians here, so now they are suffering from the shortage of the clean water. there is no electricity, no heaters here, not proper blankets as well, particularly for children. it is quite difficult here. and also the rescue air force here has not been dec wait. so on the turkish side, we have seen that that war in noise of their asked waiters, the diggers having lived in machineries and also thousands of the professional rescuers. these and nice latins the working to save the lives there. but when you come to the serious side is completely silence the silence of grief, silence, or abandonment. and they lack the more than equipment that indeed they were use in very much rudimentary equipment. and even sometimes with their bare hands trying to pull out their loved ones, loved ones out of the robbers here. so that, that was many that was one of the main problems here. the lack of the international
12:11 pm
aid that arrived very late, only days after the earthquake hit this region, the international is starting to get in. however, it is very much little and they say it is very much, it is too late as well. they feels hideous. here he, they feel that they are abundant, they're forgotten by the internet community. and they said that the voice was not heard through the last than a decade of the civil war. and now they're called in another disaster. so here in syria, the disaster are just just overlapping and when it comes to the health facilities, nor that is horst in those who have the thousands that have been injured. so they are either collapse or heavily damaged or they do not have any more than medical equipment. and usually they do not have the proper stuff as well. so this way, life here is quite difficult. and also, throughout the last 2 weeks, we have seen hundreds and hundreds of the city of families who fled the war in syria almost a decade ago, came to turkey to, to, to begin
12:12 pm
a save life. and now they are also now getting back to syria, some of them to, to attend the funerals of their loved ones, some of them to meet of the survivors. and also on top of that, we had, the officials are seen dead more than $1000.00. 500 dead bodies blowing in cedar leverages into gear, had been taken back to syria, to be buried in hall with in their home country. so that is now the situation of them, this people that millions of the peoples would laugh. celia came to turkey to begin a new save life. now their coat in, in another disaster and their back to where they started. so they now have to restart from scratch or so for now. thanks for that update. emma, i'll herani reports from afrin aware people are forced to sleep on the ground. none of the other man i was thought. medina, this is a football pitch in the middle of
12:13 pm
a friends city where residents flocked and panic following the most recent earthquake and subsequent tremors. as you can see in the absence of tints, people are lying on the ground spending the night here for fear of eminent shakes. many of them are survivors who lost their homes and the 1st 2 earthquakes 2 weeks ago that the sufferings of not come to an end. now, there is a shortage of shelter, food and medical supplies. it's by all measures, nothing but a tragedy in the northern part of syria, amid a poor response from the international community for the recent earthquake as exacerbated their sufferings, we witness the state of overwhelming panic reminiscent of the early moments of the 1st earthquake that had the area on february, 6th, omaha, any eligible o my el herani and a friend, a lippo countryside. no russian president vladimir putin is making his annual address to the federal assembly. it comes just days before the 1st anniversary of
12:14 pm
the invasion of ukraine, the cyclists men ah, billy, and do i, would you mind doing that, sir? in 2014, the key of regime are put all their resources with the military weapons and tanks. and with regard to the aerial mountain bass, and you will north between the republican prim when back in 2015 or the day a black start it again and it's hamp to direct and bust directly, telephone be seen them and renewed them terrorizing people live in there. and all of that contradicted the agreed resolution was in it and during agreement in place. i'm we, i would like to repeat that day, you star, since they swore, and we have all our strengths to stop it yet, or when you are willing no work done on the done yet, it's been
12:15 pm
a done but no ganske should continue model. those who plan, it's a, it's hacking dunbar, salmonella ganske you been in school, miley, it, when you my like, it's just that the liquidate, almost like we're going to destroy crimea next. and when you about says, we knew about their plans and the in kia are lay now other say about say it's often like when use any way we define serious deputies the mill, our country, our people and the, the west already spent a 115000000000 dollars asian before support and can live regime regularly that route because you're not in but your we war and g 7. emily ella. katy, it's on your couldn't only $60000000000.00 for support in poor countries are so you know what i mean? are they spend a $150000000000.00 for supports in military actions in ukraine,
12:16 pm
but only 60000000 to support poor countries to fight over t o to developer ecology, where all these, some good work disappeared by seniors and they keep putting, fancying to a fuel in they sworn down, you can see the unseen feel who killed him discontinued near recently at immune conference. so they possibly have a keys. does audio technica when was that was about the new digital it in order to ensure that the whole world forgets what the west has done over the last 10 years. they let the jane out of the bottle here, but give me when you, when you knew me. but i don't really the genie out of the bottom of the day left ago in glance we didn't make how to get over. all those done by should be the data
12:17 pm
figures that we have. you were to me merely one of the libyan through the n u l t m, about 38000000 people became refugees. now, you're with mitchell, they just want to erase a from me are new to when you the, the memory of humanity a trying to make it and like nothing happened. but nobody forgot what happens when the human law says you and tragedies or was more than a basher aka out there with you? very close. so and him, of course water in the new jersey, troy see it was almost who did. he's these principles of democracy and freedom, you know, we noted to defend their $4.00 and in fact, totally tarion of value. good at lee. good. when you and they just try t abdullah, it distracts her on the people's attention from a corruption scandal is up to she will not be nic. and then you concedes on the news all the time to distract people from economic social problems and
12:18 pm
contradictions and difficulties. your way, i'm not sure what human is the grey you me and you spell it. i will remind gina that several of the wes opened the way for nat says him in 90. so it is likely crossley. it microwave and people who know a little bit, at least about history, they know that it goes back to the 19th century, amelia bertie oster hungarian and pyre and po loans. and they tried to take those, some casual, no new territories that are today called ukrainian. they would try it for to take those territories from us. so phyllis is nothing new really with video or old crow . i was like, they were supported the could, it's are in 2014 that was a bloody could
12:19 pm
a chair and they made it out like nothing happens with your lay even know informed us how much money they spend these every few minutes and then you know, and they put some grain stiffness, this hatred for all russian or in today's certainly when you're in the louis got just would you put us up the you would you guys know where they got? i didn't whole value guest lady name. they blamed us as compared to actions the way below glitch in the pacific. and so they used the chef roy and the notions, my wife and i could get them for ukraine. mean you could away, she him in the military tanks and equipment they use. they would not say, sorry i'm and you do is the less. but if your interests you on believable that some
12:20 pm
nobody in the country relies notices and why? because they don't care. i'm sorry, but they care only about fighting the russian sport who he'll be poor as long as they fight russia. it was, they use any one ball neo nazis late. they can reserve the devil himself so that you and they just fights in russia until you rush up. you go approaching the conflict of interest as soon as you are growing it. beg, created to set up an exam was different complex and not black than in 19 thirties and i was rich wearing. and now the only aim was to start the war in europe. ways on somebody else's hands and get,
12:21 pm
treat all the competitors. we don't so fight with the ukrainian people. i said that many times before for ukrainian people became hostages on the ski regime. a crane both economically globally, payroll, me, buggers, and politically, he threw himself over years ago, playing with your items may go to in every single to the material, your brain. they some decoration, you know, it got really mclaughlin, if nobody cared about the poor and there in the, in the end they just so are years in the people are, it's very sad, but it's true. girls just labeled real homes and them who is responsible for owner like least conflict for like a great a. the responsibility is on the west's and of course, on the ukraine,
12:22 pm
a loyalty and their government. ukrainian government today does not serve our national interest, a serves the interests of the state countries, rockville, i mean, would we, and they use ukraine as a military base. so full flights in russian hot knob stay it does no good. when you're, i'm not going to go into detail and about some increase. some of their action is to build up their weapons. with the more they sent weapons to ukraine, the more we will have to respond to the security situation on the board itself by russia than serve natural reaction and response as a pre mileage. they don't even hide. there's rigorous intentions in the west. they say they need to co strategic and for our brush, what do they mean?
12:23 pm
they mean to and with ours, like it was for you to move the local conflict into the face of global armor. he said to be wishing fine with him and we understand what's happening and so we will respond to she's, we're, we're new to this because remember, we're not there with libya. you're not in this case. we already talking about the existence of our country, but they should realize that sir, it's impossible to uh, to win against russia on the battlefield. that's why they use the information on it. misty and she fights her says what i showed is that each askew flock and they keep lie unsure at map are they little who do constantly level new constantly get so needy gotten the organisers in attack. our cultural valley is within our own little friend of the dogs church. look what they do to that sir vladimir putin
12:24 pm
delivering his annual address to both houses of russia's parliament regarding the conflict in ukraine. he said they started this war and we used all our strength to stop it. your so said the responsibilities on the west and ukrainian government. let's go to osama bin job it now in moscow. so pretty much so father defiant, comparative speech that we were perhaps expecting in a day president vladimir putin began by in detailing the inevitability of war as if he'd like to tell his people that it is not russia which initiated this war. he'd like to tell people that russia was negotiating in good faith in the men's one and the men stu agreements, which he says best and powers have now said that they were actually buying time. and he accuses the rest of her going a bit behind being behind the nazis, as he'd like to call them. and it was important for russia to
12:25 pm
d. nuts if i it's border and he's been detailing at thank on how the world has failed. the people are off the world or by the billions of dollars a $150.00 boat $1000000000.00. he says to have a freely flawed and do you great. we're only a few 100000000 have gone into helping others. so according to president, brought me to put in a combat of speech, he is coming out as the commander in chief of the forces year after his forces went into ukraine. a year after russia has taken over more territory in its west and towards ukraine's east. and it today also marks the day off, further the done, yes. people republic, sir. a referendum which was called sham. so again, a large audience of 1400 people in moscow listening to him screens are put up in all major cities in all time zones across russia. so that the people can hear vladimir putin come out, defend his operation, tell his people why he had to go to war and why he's not backing down. okay,
12:26 pm
well zane mazar, avi is sir, live for us now in the ukrainian capital kiva zane. how will the ukrainian leadership be viewing the contents of this speech so far? well, as you know, we've been covering this war since day one of the invasion since even before that and listening to the speech here and keep what leaders are also likely to be from the speech is that nothing has really changed. there's been no change of narrative . he hasn't said anything that he hasn't said in the past to try to really validate why this invasion had to happen from the russian side. and ukrainian leaders are likely to see this as just another day, just another day of vitamin proven continued to reiterate what our old points and really the government here has diplomatically, while the war is still going on diplomatically. this is a very different ukraine from what it was a year, but we have really moved on. and one thing that has happened when or lose ukraine
12:27 pm
now has a seat at a few different tables at the table of western allies at the table with nato. they're not members yet, but they're on that there at that table. and there at the u table, socially, politically, economically, ukraine has pivoted hard towards the west, which is perhaps the opposite of what the russian leadership had hoped to accomplish by this invasion. but that is what has happened. and now whatever happens with the war next, ukraine is squarely pivoting west there at the table with their western enlarge. and that's something unlikely to change, no matter what direction the battles on the front continue to go. okay, st. robbie, thank you for that. well, joining us here on sets is my one come on, he direct to a policy analysis of the arab center for research on the policy study. 0. very welcome. thank you. what is stood out so far for you from this speech? ah, i think he started by justifying the war because i think the whole decision to go
12:28 pm
to war was based on miscalculations festival. he and he over stated the power of the military. he underestimated the power of the ukraine military. he underestimated that he is all of the, of the wisdom balls, mainly the united states and you ought to be an union to stand up against the invasion. and also i think he underestimate that the will of the be able to free themselves from being blackmailed by action in the energy supplies. so i think all do use but to get out is making him now trying to justify this decision to his own people. because now he cannot tell the people of russia and the good news about this, because this special what he called special military operation has been going on now for, for almost a year. exactly a year tomorrow. and the objectives have not been achieved. i. e, he couldn't remove the government of blood to me or zaleski,
12:29 pm
that was the fierce objective of the, of the war. he, he's not preventing the expansion of nato because as we all know, the truth that ukraine is not part of need to until now what we all know that sweden and finland are going to be soon, members of nato. so i think, i think here he needed, he need to see something he needed to say something to that. there are some people who are wondering now if the, if the decision to go to war was that i decision. so he said he was going to say that i had no option, i was actually to go into your screen because there was no, no other way. no other thing that this for me, despite that, i mean, how infuriated russia have been by just jo biden's visit just to keep with that have increased trying to, to resolve in this. i think this is what we like to short during his his speech,
12:30 pm
because he said that this military operation will continue and 10 objectives are, are achieved already alive. so he must be very furious by the u. s. support. you could even just by president by then yesterday to give it, although highly symbolic in terms of supporting because the support has already been boring into you korean for, for many months now that have the military support that you can receive from the united states. how do we have are given to any other country for, for all of our world war? but i think he is angry and he believes that the artist near door is fighting russia. this is a war by a problem. you rush on you who said they are using you 3 in order to week and russia and this is something he will not tolerate. according to what you said today you are in a year ago just rushes.
