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 nest him coach is one of this regions, big farmers, the road leading to his farm like the buildings, the one stood here ripped apart by the shifting ground. nothing 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,

. does widespread need for food, shelter, and basic services all around the areas affected by the earthquake in okay, and that has increased the anti refugee sentiment in the country. there are many who would like to see the refugees leave. hundreds of people are living in this 10 city in the center of cassandra, m collette a has so it alice acted or blue is one and she's angry. she says she's living in a tent with 5 other families among them. a premature baby is deborah doom childhood like all science have tons, but we turks have nothing. we are living outside in terrible conditions. well, syrians have tons, aren't we human beings to the turkish minister of the and says more than 40000 syrians have returned to their country in the past weeks. many others here are also finding it difficult to survive in a disaster area and are considering other options. clarify that boosting abraham alleys. assyrian journalist. he says he fears the lead up to 2 kias presidential

a turkey in terms of scientific understanding and engineering expertise. it's up there with the, with the rest of the world because they know they have a problem that 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 call 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. and he can see the full interview with weld renown sees knowledge as lucy jones. at 1413 gmc right here on out. is there a so what lessons can be learned from other large earthquakes? 90000 people were killed in china and 15 years ago now entire towns and cities have been rebuilt to was down few to tremors. katrina,

strengthening. im sure has been rebuilt to be quake proof and now post improved buildings and facilities, as well as a new school all schools and hospitals and went to one county and are reinforced to withstand magnitude 9 earthquakes. many of those living and you show say they will never forget that day, but they have moved forward. jamie work is are you home after experiencing that earthquake, your home and holiday and or goes a complete change. you'll feel the light, one must container, hide it. we must survive for many in his community. he says much was lost. but in the year since they have also been games. katrina, you out 0. you show town went one county, china. tens of thousands of people have been evacuated in malaysia after floods caused by heavy rain swept across several states. all than 40000 people have taken shelter in relief. camp set up by the government and were forced to flee their

illnesses like sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis and huntington's disease are inherited. they start as variations in genes, the codes in human dna that tell bodies how to make cells out of millions of letters of code. just one can be out of place. and in some cases, only one parent needs to have a variant gene to pass a serious and rare condition to their children. new tools are available to edit the human genome. the most efficient so far as crisper it finds cuts and replaces parts of genes to deliver a new genetic code to a target with great accuracy. our vision, our dream is that there would be basically a crisp or cure center where physicians would see a child there. the child's dna would get red and professional geneticists would understand what causes the disease. and then they would send that information to the crisper cures group, and they would be like

a rapid response team. they would just jump on it today. genetic editing therapies modify immune cells to recognize cancer. correct loss of vision directly in the eye and seem to have reversed sickle cell anemia by editing the cells in bone marrow been want to really pay attention as these technologies are being developed, as they're getting closer and closer to market. about how we are considering the populations at hand that have access or don't have access to these technologies. a human embryo contains a few cells that become a whole person. in theory, these could be edited to prevent a rare or serious inherited disease from ever starting. but no studies have shown how an embryonic edit would effect a person throughout their life. and as an embryo develops into a fetus. and he changes would be replicated to including in the cells involved in reproduction that would allow human made changes to be passed down generation after
