people have been killed. recurring tremors have resulted in additional damage to affected communities. hundreds of thousands of buildings have collapsed in turkey and millions of people are now homeless. and the united nation estimates, the more than 8000000 people in syria have been impacted. will the earthquakes have come as far as face be false, approaching agricultural season? one of the regions hardest hit by the tremors is hattie. it accounts for more than a 5th of all turkey's farming activity, raising concerns now about food security. rob mcbride has more born just 3 days earlier. baby mehmet starts a life made all the harder by the earthquakes. his family, like many small scale turkish farmers who produce just enough to get by, have lost what little they had. so far,

it's going to be hard to recover. everything was destroyed. i don't know when we will be back to normal. a few kilometers down the road. nessie kotch is one of this regions, big farmers, the road leading to his farm like the buildings that one stood here ripped apart by the shifting ground. nasim has just been explaining that the ground where we're standing here is a couple of meters below the ground just here, which in turn is several meters below the ground way out just underneath that bond that. but at one point before the quakes happens, all of this was on the same level. his brother who was in the farm house at the time, shows the destruction he found when he escaped outside with his family. this farm provided a livelihood finesse seems extended family of 25, but also crops and lives along the local markets of rochester. you that's, that's what happens if you leased a lunch with them. this upgrade didn't really happen here,

but in 10 other provinces, if you stop producing food, will be dependent upon other countries. and the days and weeks after the earthquakes, the focus has been on saving lives and providing for the survivors. but there's a growing awareness of the damage to the agricultural facilities in this important farming region that threatens the longer term supply of food. early morning at the wholesale market, the arrival of produce from surrounding farms shows just how abundant this entire area is. to gather the 11 effected provinces supply around a 5th, the national agricultural output, and in some categories, they dominate with the majority of citrus fruit produced here about 3 quarters of the country's cotton, and nearly all of its pistachio nuts contributing to turkey's exports. farmers already had problems finding enough seasonal workers,

but the quakes mean they would have around a 3rd fewer than they need this year. nav syndic ptolemy civil mock, but for the past 3 years we have struggled now. many migrants have gone back to syria. we need more workers, although this disasters timing could not have been worse. it seems for the regions farmers coming in winter which adds to the misery of homelessness. and right before the spring start of the agricultural calendar that is now seriously disrupted. rob mcbride, al jazeera hattie tara back or is an aide worker in northern syria. he explains the devastation and what still needs to be done to help those affected by the earthquakes. me who

i am a cor, i'm working and he, my theory and field traditions are northwest of syria. ah, in this region which had a long period of war for about 20 years at this region is a northwest of syria has a very weak. but in for us procure, one of the difficulties that organization had and decision is about border gate such crisis or catastrophe as it should be fixed by the response. i responded

by the same day even to distribute carpet and blankets and mattresses for home. they stay, boy and me and even the thing materials are lately we. we had a big project as a whole down which one and it was originally designed for the best people, but we looked for people who with the s quick, we responded to 1000 comedy where the house is in as much as with all my colleagues tom the cray spoke to doctor lucy jones, who is a well, we're now and see molly just, she said,

earthquake building regulations and preparedness have become more important for takia before this big, quite how would you have right to, to key is preparedness for a bigger is quite like this, obviously from a major fault line, if one knew that it was going to be prone to having a lot of quite, we've seen many earthquakes over the last couple of decades in took here. so how would you write the preparedness for something like this? and then how is it stacked up with what you've seen, play out. there are more people dead than i expected beforehand because because of the, the code is very good. the engineers are very good. we've. i've worked with a lot of turkish engineers, they're very much part of the international community. and that's why i want to see, have we miss something and creating the code or not it turkey in terms of scientific understanding, an engineer and expertise. it's up there with the, with the rest of the world because they know they have a problem. they've had

a lot of really dedicated scientist working to it. and this is where i feel like i don't know how much it's the lack of enforcement of the code and how much the international code really has failed and really hasn't understood what these type of earthquakes could be. because we haven't had a major strike slip, earthquake with modern construction and the modern code since the code is really adopted in the last 20 years. and so the studies are going to be important. the south korean government says that it plans to compensate victims of to pounds, war time, forced labor through its own public foundation. the dispute about colonial era force labor has strained relations between the u. s. allies, south graves, foreign ministers. as late as all the 2 countries are willing to improve bilateral ties, let's bring an aerial sweater. she's a political analyst on a journalist at japan for with news website. she joins us now from tokyo. thank you for your time. ariel give some historical context here. how significant is this

change of hawk from south korea? yes. ok. thank you. so basically, what has happened is that this morning, the south korean foreign minister published and announced that the government basically a government backed foundation will compensate 15 korean laborers for operations. so the work on during world war 2, the foundation is also set to finance scholarships for exchanges between these 2 countries. and this is quite a significant change because in 2018, the south korea supreme court had ordered for the 1st time, japanese firms, nissan, steel, and mitsubishi, heavy industries, to pay recreation, to these 15 laborers. and the japanese government had to rejected the decision saying he went against international law, and no, none of these laborers have been compensated so far. and so this and then this

decision has repercussions on the relations between these 2 countries, as was mentioned just now. so these 2 countries have infect affects some trade and then it also like it was a bidding if it's temporarily halted into information sharing from a military perspective. and the lead us have not had a full summit for almost 3 years. and so, you know, this is like a change clearly that the 2 countries are wanting to alter the balance in international relations between the 2 countries. why do you think that is so that seems to be a shift in the political landscape as of now, in the 2020 to show many know there was a new, there was an election of a new president in south korea, president and young secure. and he, unlike his predecessor, he is

a conservative and he has been advocating for an improvement of the relations between south korean japan as being both countries. but our allies with the u. s. and you know, like minded, i'm trying to, for example, go against the stress that a very real presented by north korea. we have to remember that the previous administration of when j and he was, you know, on the opposite side, the 2nd progressive. and he spent a large part of his foreign relations campaign trying to improve relations with north korea. so we can remember, for example, the into korea summit that happened in 2018 and the famous moment the trunk president, us trump, us president trump attended in 21900. so if we think about the context that was the contact time, now things have changed with little korea during so many ballistic missiles. and i think that's been a shift in trying to say we're going to now improve relations with our neighbor, japan. and this is seen as a sign of goodwill from south korea and has been welcomed by the japan site as well

. and, and just briefly, the families of these forth labor's labor, as they're not actually happy about this change is compensation change. why is that? and if they don't accept it, will this plan still goes through? it's unclear it's point, we'll have to see it. so in terms of where the, you know, what the responses of the families, what effects the response of the families will have on the actual deal is unclear. at this point we'll have to see how the public opinion, you know, response will change over the next few days, i think. but in right now, i think even amongst, from what the local media and what media, for example in japan has been reporting. busy what we have seen that there are mixed responses, there are some that, you know, say the basically if the south korean government shoulders,

the reparation payments then, or at least this foundation showed us the reparation and payments been it takes away from the significance of japan. actually compensating these japanese companies actually compensating the victims and others that understand the change in the political landscape, you know, is, is, is inevitable. and, and also, you know, these are disputes that go back to a historical period, which is more, almost 80 is now a lot of these victims are becoming quite old frales. some of them just want to see a resolution of some sort. and then, you know, just enjoy the rest of their life, sickly. and then we have to remember also some of the, the families, you know, is the families of the deceased. now, so this is an issue that me is seeing the passage of time. so we'll have to see how life issue gets resolved. thank you for your time. annual analysis ariel the sweater. political analyst and journalist at japan. forward news website. thank you
