a sewage to similar to restricts at restrict access to clean water and the area which led to the a spread of cholera disease in north syria, which at which resulted in the death of 2 a do a people in the area that were adjuster gestured by the civil defense teams and around a $580.00 suspected cases were just registered in the area the the area was already suffering from a lack of proper sewage system. as officials are stated, that 63 percent of the a refugee camps at the reelect, proper sewage systems at 43 percent per cent lack rates, clean water. and the ongoing disaster even made this situation even more complicated on the humanitarian teams. and of course, we know how important functioning sewage systems access to clean water is doing such outbreaks of cholera after natural disasters. it sounds like an absolutely desperate situation. there does. how much of
9:06 pm
a difference has foreign aid made and what are the gracious needs now? well currently thousands of people are still living in temporary shelter centers and sol, by a and g o. and these, these environments even contribute in the spread of the, of the cholera disease as up to a 1515 families stay in that and be a same temporary shelter, a center. and among them are children and women who are a g o are exposed to be affected by the a disease. their needs are increasing as time passes as they a like regular a relief material such as hearing materials and food for these families. and although that you and aid are coming through the bible, how a border crossing with to care, but and g o z add the, the civil and describe that bees a do a don't, does not meet the severity of the situations as they demand long term, a solutions for the people who lost their houses and the people who are not finding
9:07 pm
any place safe to stay in a during the ongoing disaster. that has no con, most with the latest for his life and, and live in syria. we thank you very much for your time. now, the un humanitarian chief martin griffith says the situation on the ground is di and more international aid is needed. really demand and scarcity, therefore, of critical items. tense being the obvious example, rising prices, australian supply chains, insular injury, reaching jones, beginning to fly and supplies to the turkish buddha and also crossing to damascus and aleppo. this is essential and most welcome of the boxes from no longer readily supply, cross border operations,
9:08 pm
the song of these cool items. hence the need such costly but necessary earliest crystal mc structures, body damage. let's go to kristen salumi. now she is, john has la from the united nations, the u. n. has been on the fi, kristin for its slow response to the disaster in syria. is there any sign that the situation is improving? well, more 8 is getting through. that's the good news. to date, 423 truckloads of life saving assistance have crossed into northwest syria from turkey via but much more of course is needed. there are hundreds of building still at risk of collapse. some 5000 people are estimated to need shelter and the u. n. has described a situation where 4 to 5 families at times are crammed into one tent to stay out of the cold. this in addition to a collar epidemic spreading, it's a very grave situation. i the,
9:09 pm
the humanitarian shelters don't have any special accommodations for people with disabilities, the elderly, or those with chronic illnesses. heavy equipment is also in very short supply and difficult to get into the country. the response, the un says is being hindered by a this lack of access. while we have more cross border access happening, access from within damascus. getting to the areas in need is still being hindered by safety concerns for aid deliveries. there's also a lack of funding and what the un describes as unintended consequences of western sanctions on the country also continue to be a stumbling block for some aid to get in. so what is being done to scale up the response? kristin? well, the united nations is holding a pledging conference in the coming days. they're asking for almost $400000000.00
9:10 pm
just to address the recent crisis caused by the earthquake in syria. but that's on top of the $4800000000.00 that the u. n. was already asking for, for humanitarian assistance in syria, after 12 years of civil war. it is the largest amount that the you and has asking for the country and greatest needs. by un calculations. the u. n. is also working to address these unintended obstacles that are caused by sanctions. the united states that european union say there are no limits on humanitarian aid from their sanctions. but there are still obstacles. the un says in this message needs to be repeated so that businesses can come and help and get that heavy equipment in particular into syria. and the u. n is also working on the cross line activities and trying to get more aid from within the country to those in need. so
9:11 pm
they say they're working to ramp up their response even more, but many challenges still remain. absolutely. kristen, thank you so much for that. that is kristen filling me with a lace his life for us at the united nations. now to kia has begun work to rebuild the homes of 1500000 people destroyed and the powerful earthquake that struck the south of the country and with elections just months away, president out of the want has pledged to rebuild as soon as possible, but has government is under pressure to prioritize safety standards. i shook my head, but a reports from caught him on. my dash levin donna has come back to his neighborhood and got a man mirage to recover his belongings. his family had to move to a village nearby, but levant says he intends to return. as soon as his parents house is rebuilt. your mother, sir? do you not mother, so yeah, so my cousin, i want to spend my life in malice. i was born here. all i want is a home that is built on solid ground and in line with construction regulations.

9:13 pm
a permanent shelter. but for many experts and architects is about making sure citizen buildings are designed to withstand powerful earthquakes and save lives or lose foil. but not everybody is convinced. the government is doing the bye thing. so bork, i good cheered mors is a construction engineer. he says the authorities should 1st stop giving zoning amnesty is to builders violate seismic construction codes look, will adorable new shoot you hold on. so since lo, matthews, with the ongoing aftershocks from time to time, i'm wondering whether rebuilding not is the right thing to do. the authorities have arrested dozens of builders and the mayor for violating safety standards for no victims of the earthquakes continued to deal with grief. they know nothing will ever be able to compensate for the loss of their loved ones. huh. but al

9:15 pm
a boucher who are voicing their frustrations. we had to hope and that's what the fees or fed burton was supposed to, but that's hope all came out. you know, um my service advisor was franchise that we that i know we do the need for i've did house bradley's out there probably do. why do we, we do introduce it, introduce a revised what you know, related to the people you are not willing to buy by what was, what was like one shows is, can you imagine what the price that many days will be waiting for resort? i get up to not not seen it is it will want done to try to shove out. org with that yordway's we will be back there. i know. well let's get more on this. i correspond on how to metasource joining us live from a boucher and how do it seems as though every part of this process, including the pace of counseling has been criticized by some of what the latest on the count will election. officials have taken a 2 hour break,
9:16 pm
but they've been moving foss today. they received results from 17 more pulling sessions. they say they hope to receive the last remaining results in a couple of hours. but we still don't know when the final official results is going to be announced. a lot of people are waiting for that refiner was out to be announced. the newspapers gave a mood, the mood about what's been happening, nat geo for the past few days. because some opposition parties have protested about this whole process. the commission still says despite these poachers, we are still going to carry on announcing the results that have been coming from the different states. and one thing that germans are watching was also the comments from the former president obasanjo here, lisa statement where he said he was concerned about delays that happened on voting day. concerned about how late it is, it's taking to announce the results. and he said that in areas where people were unable to vote because of technical glitches or violence, he suggested that those people should be allowed to vote again. if there's no outright with they will be a run off within $21.00 days. and what does the election commission saying,
9:17 pm
how do the report the incidence of irregularities and foul play? do they consider them? they don't consider them enough to have actually marred the entire process. throughout the day we've heard party agent election as of as in this room, us commissioners about what happened with the voting machines. why does some of them not work? why were they so me, delays while the so many glitches the commissioners there, they are aware that there were problems in some parts of the country. they're trying to address them. and all that said is people should just be patient in the process, play out, but opposition parties are not happy about that. some of them protested in a who just they feel the election was stolen, but opinions are mixed in nigeria, they are those who say people did vote was that with them anyway? so if the process play itself out, if you aren't happy with the result, go to court, but of course, the longer it takes for the final official results to be announced. more people in a year could get frustrated and agitated. how to thank you for that. that is how to
9:18 pm
me to answer what the latest for us live in a boucher thank you. now the european parliament is banning tick tock from star funds for what it says a security reasons. follow steps taken last week by the european commission. on monday, canada banned the use of the chinese on social media app on government issued mobile phones. and the white house is asked federal agencies to remove at from their systems within 30 days. or china says the band by the u. s. is an abuse of state power. new woods away she had told her that war, as the world stopped superpower how unsure of itself can the usb to fear a young people's fear it up to such a degree. when the u. s. has been over stretching the concept of national security and abusing state power to suppress other countries, companies to we firmly opposed as wrong action issues with the u. s. government should respect the principles of market economy and fair competition. yeah. well, let's go to our correspondent,
9:19 pm
rosalind jordan. she is joining us live from washington dc, but more on this in the white sand, the white house, the house rather foreign affairs committee said to vote on the bill to give president biden new pals to ban the tick tock at later on tuesday was that's right, it's going to be what they call a mark up, and then they'll basically try to approve the measure, which then would also need to be approved by the us senate before president joe biden could side it into law. but it's not clear whether, if senators are going to sign on to this particular legislation. however, that doesn't mean that the sentiment isn't there in the upper chamber to do more, to stop the use of tick tock and stop the apparent leaching of americans private data to a people inside china. this is something that both republicans and democrats say they are very worried about. now it also is worth pointing out that this
9:20 pm
a markup that's happening on tuesday is just one of several congressional hearings dealing with what both republicans and democrats arguing is the growing threat from china to the u. s. his way of life. there was a hearing earlier today before the house foreign affairs committee, in which of the assistant secretary for east asian affairs had to describe how the biden administration is trying to deal with. what of the congress members consider threats coming from bay ging, whether it's menacing of the independence of taiwan, whether it's a using a technology to try to sly on the united states. of course the a recent talk spy balloon incident came up during that hearing. and the point that was being made by these members of congress is that china is not a country that the u. s. should be in the business of, of trusting and pretty rare bipartisan support on the issue of china when it comes
9:21 pm
to the u. s. government, but on this particular issue of tick tock, the is opposition to banning it isn't. there was including from the american civil liberties union. that's right. the a sale you what is a very much a in, in favor of allowing tick tock to continue to operate in the united states. it points out that one in 3 americans have the app downloaded on to their personal devices. and they say that it is a forum just as other kinds of social media are for people to express themselves. now there has been an ongoing negotiation between tick tock, it's corporate owner, and a part of the us treasury department, better known as sophia's to try to figure out how tick tock can still be permitted to operate inside the united states. but no such negotiation has actually been reached and there's now increasing pressure coming, particularly from a couple of us senators,
9:22 pm
to essentially either shut tick tock down altogether or force the of parent company to give it up and awhile someone else to control tick tock. so that it doesn't have any ties, financial, government, or otherwise, to beijing ross. thank you very much for that. that is rosalind julian with the latest in washington dc. well, let's get more on this now. we're joined also by from washington dc by jody westby . she's chief executive at global at cyber risk. very good to have you with us on out as the are and i want to pick up on something that i caused on it's rosalyn was saying, which were, you know, the pull it's last year that the committee on foreign investment in the united states and take talk that they had reap something of a preliminary agreement on safeguards that would satisfy the us. would such an agreement? do you think be a satisfactory alternative to banning tick tock?
9:23 pm
it would have to determine the parameters of the agreement. but the, the concern is that the chinese government can mandate access to data from any chinese company. and the u. s. government is very concerned about personal data of us citizen and falling in the hands of the chinese government. i don't think that the general person in america appreciates open source intelligence and how much can be derived from that. certainly our government and the senators and congressmen understand that and i think that's what's underlying the concern. and so can you tell us, you know, for those who don't understand about open source data, i mean, what can an act like tech talk derived from the daughter of public uses when you take a large data set of users and their activities and the amount of personal views and preferences that
9:24 pm
a user of tick tock reveals. you can learn an awfully lot about not only an individual, but about demographics. and areas of feelings believes generalities you can form that. so you can use that kind of information to fuel misinformation and dis, information campaigns to target people for a potential spy activities. there is yet the open source intelligence that's available now to people over the internet is mind and used very heavily by intelligence communities. and at, but most people don't understand how that is used, but it's very dangerous. and what about the argument that it's almost nonsensical to bandon at when we see platforms in areas like agriculture, communications, gaming, or connected to chinese firms. maybe not to such an extent a smaller population. and so we in america have always had
9:25 pm
some curbs on freedom of speech. it's not absolute. so you can't scream fire in a crowded theater. that's a famous court holding. so i think what they're saying is there's just some places where they don't want americans to be to be spreading their activities and views. and we limit export control information about speech involved thing export control products. so we do have typically had some restrictions, but i think the problem is this goes to a general public in a way that hasn't happened before. and they and they're having trouble understanding the risks that is jody westby, of global cyber risk. wait to get your expertise on this. thank you very much for your time. and here still ahead on the news. our former pakistani prime minister and ron khan is back in clinton, islam abad, facing for challenges including attempted murder, fun and support will show you the good and the bad from one of the biggest stuff
9:26 pm
that's coming up with ah ah, there were shares yesterday around the gulf thunderstorms no less and used the region they start from is eastern meadow turkey. not so now this is the opposite direction when it's bringing significant warm. these are overnight temperatures in the earthquake affected area. no frost visible. you'll notice there is some up in the high mountains, but otherwise not in by day, the sun still shining. and despite a few outbreak, the right in northern turkey is looking more natural or doubtful event. and into was norden, egypt, alexandra, z at 26 on the high side from normal. the sun stretches through iraq and iran. we've had some pretty high temperatures and a forecast them again. and perhaps the saudi arabia. but he's at 30 mech as at 33.
9:27 pm
this is still the line of thunderstorms you'll see on wednesday, or at least showering through you a. this kid is brian is where the wind is picked up here, sand and dust largely in an uninhabited, bare area of saudi arabia for take you for 2 thursday. the showers are still there, curling around the u. a and probably eastern a man up in the mountains because it could be spectacular. thunderstorms of rain this time not of snow, the rest still not really enjoying the dusty weather in the western part of saudi, but still enjoying some heat. ah. ready too often of canister is portrayed through the prism of war. but there were many of canister thanks to the brave individuals who risk their lives to protect it from destruction. an extraordinary film archives spanning for decades,
9:28 pm
reviews the forgotten truths of the countries modern history. the forbidden real art one, the birth of afghan cinema on a just 0. ready a catastrophic series of. ready quakes into kiya and syria has taken thousands of people's lives and left many more. thomas, a major mobilization of humanitarian support is underway. ah. our teams on the ground will bring you continuous updates to t n. syria makes on al jazeera lou
9:29 pm
ah, watching out as they are with me and as the prom and doha reminder of our top stories, the sour opposition parties in my jury, according for a cancellation of the presidential election, calling it a sham, often long delays and counting the votes election observe as urgent candidates to accept the results of saturday's polled the european parliament as banning tech talk from star farms to what it says, the security concerns. on monday, canada banned the app from government devices. it follows steps taken last week by the european commission. and there are fears of a cholera outbreak in the north western region of syria following the devastating earthquakes. more than 50000 people have been killed and took here and sylvia to res. above his following developments from the turkish city of gauzy on tip. the government is under a lot of pressure to start showing results. there's hundreds of thousands of people
9:30 pm
that are living just like this intense in areas all around that have been affected by the earthquake. many of them have lost their homes, others, their homes have been damaged and they're afraid to go back because of the aftershocks and the earthquake on monday. there was another earthquake, 5.6 earthquake in my left b. yeah, it's about 3 hours away from here. 2 people were killed, search and rescue teams on the ground. 32 people were pulled out of the rubble. so the government is promising to go the wrong $300000.00 homes in one year. the number of those that have been destroyed by this week is around 180000. then the government is saying that they'll have to the more these 2000 and they're starting right now. but before doing that, there's millions of tons of rubble that need to be removed. the united nations estimate that around $200000000.00 councils rubble would have to be removed from the areas affected into other locations. if we want to have a sense of how much time it will take to overcome this challenge, this rebel challenge,
9:31 pm
we can look at the examples of other countries that have endured as similar earthquakes. so they're not this magnitude. so if we look at japan after the, the devastating earthquake and soon army of 2011, we see that it took them more than 3 years to deal with 30000000 tons of rubble. and here we're probably dealing with 7 times that, that volume. so i think we need to measure it in, in years, although things can be done shorter term. the government is asking people not to when they leave the villages and the cities where they leave, they know that they have to do it temporarily. but they're asking them to remain and to go back to the places they are from that they're talking to architect or about planners, engineers, so that they can build their homes once again. but this is an immense challenge for this country that all bank is estimated that is going to cost to $134000000000.00 to rebuild this part of the country. 2 kias economies in trouble. there is very
9:32 pm
high inflation. the currency is constantly being evaluated among many other problems. so it's a major problem. and i made a challenge for the government and for the country as a whole. and when you talk to people here, they know and they're hoping that they will get a home once again, but they, they know that is going to take time. now british prime minister was she soon act is in belfast to shore up support for his new post bricks that trading deal for northern ireland. he reached an agreement with the european union on monday, but still needs the support of the democratic unionist party, or many conservative members of parliament, including those who supported brick set, gave their backing to the agreement. i'm really pleased vag on over the moon that yesterday. we managed to have a decisive break through with all negotiations with the e. you reached agreement, the new windsor framework that i think is an extraordinary positives that for northern ireland and it represents as the european president has also had
9:33 pm
a historic moment for us to move forward and results on the difficulties of the pulse. now here's how the so called northern ireland protocol has changed when the u. k. left the u. accustomed border was drawn between northern ireland and the rest of the united kingdom. which angered unionists under the winds. the framework of goods will be separated into a greenland for goods traveling to northern ireland and to redland for goods moving into the issue. well, let's get more on this now we're joined by stephen kelly from dairy in northern ireland. he's the chief executive of manufacturing, northern ireland. very good to have you with us on al jazeera as a firstly. what is your reaction to the new framework? we're very pleased that the prime minister has come to a successful conclusion alongside the european union agreed. an operating plan for holly, the northern protocol as it's known as post exit arrangements. leslie operate there was a very fear for many in business that the u. k. would unilaterally legislate to remove
9:34 pm
some of these barriers are the the would take legal action against you? case actions result in a trade war. i was all the not really sub optimal. i come for businesses here. so the fact that you can, the fund agreement is our number one ask you, i'm very pleased at the dom up. and how do you think that prime minister, very soon that has been able to come to this agreement with precious prime ministers before and have failed billing date. the 1st thing is, he's taken a completely different job. it should the previous negotiators he's trying to work in the collegiate way alongside by his presence. ask if it's from the european union long, say the president, under lamb. he's taking over the details on taking very deep a look at what the issues are. he's engaged extensively with the business community here in northern ireland. they've been very impressed by the level of detail. we've provided a level of clarity with provided,
9:35 pm
and that's the only time they have the confidence to actually reach out and come to a successful conclusion here. so i think there's lessons for everyone across the world, but when you actually try to work together with people, rather than creating conflict, you tend to end up with a better outcome. you spoke about, you know, the fee is for businesses previous to those. how has your industry, the manufacturing industry, among others being affected by the previous protocol? so previous protocol, put a, a friction between northern ireland and the supply chain and the rest of the united kingdom i. what that meant was that there were some, some g, b, or u, k based suppliers who are no longer willing to sound some goods to northern ireland . and so that's obviously cause some difficulty the bureaucracy involve added additional cost and complexity. but the opportunity that exists on this protocol, i am where the cards have fallen from northern are very positive. i. what we've already seen is that in the last 2 years,
9:36 pm
our exports to the on to the rest of the world have increased very significantly. other sales to the rest of the united kingdom have increased also we were with the play, most of us morning. we met them far but 45 minutes and he talks about the extraordinary opportunity that exists. yeah, and i for northern, i was a call on what we're really beginning to notice. notice that our manufactures are already here on those who are looking for so told in the u. k. market on the market or not looking at northern ira and there was so much help as you mentioned in for the when the family, but it's not a done deal yet. so what's your message to the democratic unionist party who's approval the state of course depends on what's at stake for you and so many other business is there. woolly approval of the d. e p. the democratic during this party isn't requires or of this. they loses a sovereign to sovereign negotiation between u. k. national government on the european union. but if the democratic party don't agree, will they go back into this power sharing agreement?
9:37 pm
so that northern ireland actually has a function in government bullet. that's the, the big challenge that remains the agreement has been made between the huge any we would very much hope that the, the d u. p. article ardie would see the real benefits that exist here. that those friction. but they were worried about. i have been removed on the a tremendous economic opportunity that is northern ireland can be fully realised. mr. kelly. thank you very much for your time. your inside said your experience about the steve and kelly joining us alive from darian nor than i and thank you. ok, ah, now russian media is reporting that an unmanned drone has crashed in the moscow region. the governor says the join was targeting of facilities used by civilians. they have been no casualties or property damage. but the incident as being investigated by local authorities and russian president vladimir putin has told,
9:38 pm
has secuity service to step up its activity to counter what he called growing espionage operations against russia. if she could duct you in that a bully, but i see we must strengthen our counter intelligence. as western special services have always traditionally worked against russia in inactive way. and they have now thrown additional personnel, technical, and other resources against us. we must respond to it accordingly. and the russian defense ministry has accused the u. s. of planning, a so called provocation in ukraine use and toxic chemicals. sama been job. it has more from moscow. the ministry of defense for the 1st time has actually detailed a plan of how allegedly chemical weapons have been brought into ukraine in near the don. yes creature. and this is where intense fighting has been taking place for the last few months. they administer defense is actually identified. the number of bo gave the type of chemicals it says could be used and which will be
9:39 pm
a violation off the organization of the prohibition of chemical weapons treaties. so it is all happening this morning in russia. there seems to be more alarm bells ringing the actual fighting. now ukrainian president for not him as the landscape is warning that the situation in the eastern frontline city of buck most is getting worse regional separately. the say need all the roads into the city and now under russian control, the areas being the sight of a bitter deadly battle for more than 6 months. which cannot sit in the mood, the situation is constantly becoming more difficult. the enemy is constantly destroying everything that can be used to protect our positions for fortification and defense. our soldiers defending in the buckets region are real heroes in the us delegation has visited the palestinian town of hawaii after it was attacked by israeli. sit there on sunday, special representative for palestinian affairs. how they met with the victims. israeli settlers burned down several homes,
9:40 pm
