her so they put us in the big playroom and we certainly looked after ourselves. i don't remember the children's names, but i'll never forget canada's dark secret on al jazeera. this is the image of hong kong damsels, visitors bustling glamorous city. but on the ground, a different reality appears. official figures released in november show the number of people experiencing homelessness is the highest in a decade and is a shop rise in the number of women experiencing housing insecurity. that report also said there's need for better services. and more funds for hostile accommodation as the situation was, since it's the middle of winter here in hong kong, and the temperature often drops below 10 degrees at night. people in this underpass of repairing for another night exposed to freezing conditions. 0,

one months of trauma, grief and loss victims of last month, devastating earthquakes and turkey on still waiting to find them missing the syrian refugees in turkey face an impossible choice between returning to that water nation or rebuilding abroad, where many say they don't feel ah, i'm to clog this is out, is there a lie from to hall also coming up, at least 9 police officers had been killed in a suicide bomb attack. and southwestern focused on thousands of ringo refugees, a homeless once again after fire ripped through their camp in bangladesh. and anger in south career against what protests is called a humiliating resolution to the 4th labor dispute between soul and japan.

ah. and so then it has been one month since millions of lives were uprooted and destroyed by 2 powerful earthquakes, shook southern turkey and northwest syria. the full extent of the catastrophe is now all to clear, more than $50000.00 people have died across both countries and millions of displaced and many a still searching for their missing relatives. from what i and of europe begins are coverage. this is what's called a cemetery of the unknown. it's one of the many where those who lost their lives in earthquakes in southern trickier are buried. but their identities were never recorded. like lots of others. tuba kara has been asked to give a dna test and apply to authorities for any news of her husband. young. hi, lam,

about his we are done with, shall knew that we still cannot get any news about him. we cannot reach him from anywhere. we looked at every place we were supposed to even to the cemeteries when it's the, all the warehouse dynamic. i don't know if someone took him to hospital or maybe he lost his memory because we cannot find him anywhere but alone. in the weeks after, de quakes struck, many of the dead were buried without being identified. now their relatives are trying to find them. mariam yielded from hut i is a mother of 3. she saved 2 of her 3 children, but her 7 year old son childish is still missing. when unfold on it, i don't think his dead. i've never felt he's dead. i believe my son will come back to me safe and sound tough. i didn't get it in said it. mariam says she heard from witnesses that her son was pulled out alive, air or the some old lady told me a bull looking like my son was taken by some people, but she didn't know who they were. to find a missing person,

family members give samples of their dnas to the police and wait for them to check their records, photos and dna swab se taken from the dead have been recorded since the 1st day of the disaster. the government hasn't officially said how many people are still missing. many family members are trying to find their loved ones by putting an like leaves in different parts. so it is silly. they're hoping that someone will recognize them so they can be re united again. it would oh al jazeera, what i forget. well hush him, albert joined us live from the epicenter, the 1st earthquake in mac or a marsh. this is a hush him, it's been a terrible, terrible time and what must seemed to be a long endless road ahead and did another day of hardship for thousands and thousands of people. victims of the earthquakes, particularly here in color, man mulash, which was their best tentative were the 1st 7.8 magnitude. earthquake. people are

looking forward to see how the can be able to find a permanent shelter. the government is saying it is distributing financial aid on a larger scale, unprecedented him or in the modern history of turkey. this is according to the government of turkey. and that they say within a year, a time frame of a year, they would have completed a reconstruction of the areas that were devastated in the earthquakes. in the mean time, it was quite interesting, nick, that whenever you travel across the devastation, you see people taking a huge risks to salvage whatever they can of from the rubble from the places where their homes were once stood. and when you asked people why you're doing this, they say sometimes because it's crucial sometimes because we want to get whatever we come from those places because that's why we spent our entire life. and we just want something that could help us reconnect with the past.

ah, this is the moment, little a year has been waiting for excavators clear the rubble. she only has a few hours to salvage whatever she can. she has spent most of her life here, and now she has to confront the harsh reality. young, i'm here with my family to collect anything that would help me connect in the park so that the memories of the place and the people i met lives on like this was once my house, the authority is keep safe deposit boxes recovered from the rubble. it police stations, owners have to provide detailed lists of their belongings, which should match the lease findings. people are desperate to retrieve whatever they can from the debris, identity, cause, furniture, jewelry and money. and sometimes all they want is only the medicine the left behind, as they rush to survive the devastation. the reason they're taking risks is the

fear. this could be their last chance to recover whatever the can before is forever gone. right after the earthquakes it 11 provinces in southern turkey, security forces launched a crack down on robbers and rounded up looters. they also managed to retrieve cash and gold bars, from destroyed banks and jewelry shops. kylie sherlock overland is recovering his brother's belongings. he was raptured along with his family, but 7 other families didn't make it either odd that all la loveday, what can you do? you feel completely helpless in the face of calamity. i find a few items, mostly polish, of my brother in his children. he has at least a few memories now to keep it him. it's all about keeping memories alive and

remembering those who couldn't make it mostly buried in unmarked grace on keeping those memories alive. it was quite interesting for me when i was travelling across all those areas to see volunteers tapping into the debris and recovering a some of those belongings and particularly photo albums and they put it just neither sites hoping that one day someone could come pick those things to help the survivors of the relatives to put together the p says as will volleys, quite dramatic scenes, tragedies all over those areas. i've seen also people spending hours and hours near the rabble on when he asked them why you're doing this. they say that we had friends here and we lost them and just to honor the legacy of those people, we wanted to come for every day, for as long as it takes,

even when the rubble is cleared. even when the site is built, even after years and years from now, we will continue to come to honor that legacy and tell the story and spread the stories that people never forget. what happened one day ago. yeah, very, very difficult for hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people passion. thanks very much. well, my colleague, tom mccrae spoke to lucy jones, who is a world renowned seismologists, and she says that quite building regulations and preparedness and become more important now for turkey. before this big, quite how would you have rice had to key is a preparedness for a bigger quite like this. obviously it's on a major fault line. if one knew that it was going to be prone to, to having a lot of, quite, we've seen many earthquakes over the, 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. i 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. and you can see the full interview with sized villages. lucy jones, that is at 1430 g m t,

right her an officer or took her hosts more than 4000000 refugees. that is the largest in the world and most of them all from neighboring syria. but as teresa reports many a considering leaving oh, these people have been waiting for days to be allowed inside his temporary refugee camp in atlanta, in southern tokyo home. there syrian and had been living in this country for 7 years. but the earthquakes last month, left them homeless. so marilyn dailey, says he and his family have no way to go. that it hadn't been not the 2nd earthquake destroyed our house. we left the house with children without any of our belongings. so we come to this camp with syrian stayed, i believe there's enough space in the camp, but i've been living on the street for 14 days now. i know that turkish authorities did not reply to our questions on why these families were not allowed inside. since the civil war started in syria, tortilla adopted an open door policy towards syrians fling the conflict. there now

more than 4000000 syrians in the country. many i living in camps where they have shelter, food, health care, and education. but over time, many term study to resend the support given to syrian refugees by the turkey state . there's widespread need for food, shelter on 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 their refugees leave. hundreds of people are living in this 10 city in the center of hasn't ev, every letter has laid out his acted old 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 that we do childhood like all syrians have tense, but we turks have nothing. we are living outside in terrible conditions. well, syrians halftime, aren't we, human beings, to the turkish ministry of defense as 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 they're considering other options. clarify that boosting hebrew. he, melissa syrian and he see he says he fears the lead up to 2 kias presidential elections in may, could increase hostile sentimental words, syrians in the country, some like special like from their rights like side flight parties, considering as like actually more lawyer to other parties which is make it like very difficult for our syrians and if you are trained like to do like a little survey around between civilians, the nothing about policy of or like politic like here. they're just like trying to lima dollars. millions of serious have come to tokyo to escape the warning their nation. now they've lost everything they had once again, and have to survive in a country that is not their own. but he said, well, and just see that jesse and tap took it. all right,

so what lessons can be learned from other large earthquakes in the past? while in china, 90000 people were killed nearly 15 years ago. entire towns and cities were later rebuilt to withstand tremors. katrina, he report enough when twan county in china is one province in show in china, southwest looks nothing like it did before a magnitude 8 earthquake struck the town in 2008 who young being remembers, calling out from underneath the rubble of his home. he survived that his district, not nearly 15 years on he has been able to rebuild his life and his business did sell u haul nig. i was in last a full while chest. i didn't want to work and fell into time as soon as her shims out of her work. now i feel at home again, joseph, though angel has changed so much of the tongue has advanced by decades, including the quality of the buildings. when the earthquake hit on may 12th, 2008 rural towns in the epi said to were completely flattened,

millions of people left homeless, local governments were accused of corruption and cutting corners during construction. none of the buildings in this town existed before 2008, except for the school. it's ruins, serve as a reminder of the sheer destruction caused by that earthquake and a memorial to the 10s of thousands who lost their lives. this culture marked the exact time the earthquake hit. thousands of schools turned into rubble. many children were in class that afternoon. kit me a motor was one of the 1st foreign engineers to survey the disaster zone. he also worked into kia after the earthquakes there last month. he says outdated and adequate building regulations were primarily to blame. element many countries sagos same, same stories. associate the order called researchers kill people and are no enforcement kill people. and away it seems like

a learning a same lesson all will all begin. so that's the, that's us ha, ha, hardware artist, 2008. the chinese government updated building codes in this region to include seismic strengthening. he 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 need show say they will never forget that day, but they have moved forward. jimmy, what is, are you home after experiencing that earthquake, your home and holiday and goes a complete change. you'll feel the light 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 can show town when to one county, china. and you can watch our special coverage to mark one month since the

earthquakes in turkey and in syria at $1000.00 g m t is about 45 minutes. and indeed at 1300 g m t as well was the lead on program universities reopened in afghanistan. but the taliban continued to bol women, returning a wave of organized crime. hits ecuador, as it becomes a major, cocaine trading hub. oh, hello. we have yet more heavy, right? it's a southern part. so malaysia, this little line of a thunder had still bring some very heavy showers in and around the region we have got so wet weather therefore, ching 90 millimeters of rain, still very wet in ice,

hattie, for new zealand. ah, from the al jazeera london, bro car, fantastic people in full compensation. we were 1st generation black versus people and we have to really find our way with no high and no indication. well, there's a much more the place we to better to get away with these regional boundaries, film direct, thank you. in to tell me things, songwriter, skin, you think about races i'm thinking certainly have is making often visible due to be on our to para ah ah,

and again your what your 0 remind about top stories this out and it has been one month since more than $50000.00 people were killed in the too powerful earthquakes . short a southern turkey, northwestern syria took it. survivors are still trying to identify the remains of their relatives. and in syria, many survivors in the rebel controlled north west to still wait to fight late. shall assad government is put restrictions on aid distribution. and some rebels have brought deliveries from government health areas. at least 9 police officers have been killed in a suicide bomber taken southwest and pakistan happened in the kept the streets in the province of lucia stuck. at least 16 others have been injured. no group has claimed responsibility behind the attack. the spacious go locked yamaha in islam about a kamala, what else? weakly enough? well, according to the daycare, there were near

a festival that was taking place. and a district down of b should be of course, at about 830125230 kilometers from where these people were there on duty in order to insure the security. at 1st, they were traveling back to when they came under an area know double lawn bought the hailey area where meandering road, according to the board, suicide bomber writing a motor bike approach the re near a bridge and designated the explosives, which led to the killing of dog policemen, i know you mentioned many more injured and read it now the balloon just on government and send a helicopter from quite an order to evacuate. some of the most seriously wounded who had initially been admitted to the local lot. and they combined military hospital in shibby. no one has yet taken responsibility for the river. there's been

an escalation, and a number of our direct against the police said that security portrait they were there deadlier or not much which carried almost a 100 policemen. there were no jog in the city of garage and senior police officials office and i've got a new job and a ball lawn area of your on demand. if i put up the camel hood, a reporting from his mom about a major fire has devastated arrange a refugee camp in bangladesh and estimated 12000 people have been left without shelter. the course is not yet clear and no casualties have been reported. it happened in the balloon harley camp in cox's bazaar in the southeast, tomba chandry repose now from docker. this is not the 1st time this rowing i have been forced from their homes years ago the flat oppression in me unmarked. ah, now a major fire at cox's bazaar, a refugee camp in bangladesh has again left thousands without roof over their heads

. in these 3 comes with the while happened around $100000.00 if you are leaving, and 50 percent of them are children. unicef on the port in us, we are on the ground and we are trying to meet that immediate, an ad janita of our district as children and their families, ah, firefighters and volunteers were able to get the blaze under control. but by then, there had been extensive damage. aid groups have been distributing water and basic necessities. but it's not clear whether those left without homes will find shelter . cox's bazaar is home to more than a 1000000 ro hang or refugees. i camp this size with so many living and cramped condition makes fires like this. difficult to avoid. yeah, now by our 2, by chance i have 7 children. when the fire broke out, i couldn't find all of them on. i went to search for the others but couldn't find

them all when i, when i returned home, i had all my belongings were burnt, but i have nothing left on my alert on the 2nd i had taken my mother to see the doctor. when it came back, everything was in fire. we couldn't save any of our belongings. ah, hundreds of thousands of ro hang our fled a military crack down in myanmar that began in 2017 years later. it still isn't safe for them to return. on the fire conference conditions in the refugee camps are dangerous. those are living here and have nowhere else to go and reach audrey, i'll visit our doctors. south korea has announced the plan to compensate victims of false labor in japan's factories during the 2nd world war. south korea's foreign minister says the former workers will be compensated through public foundations funded by private companies. both japan and the united states. welcome to move many have protested against the decision. ties between washington regional allies have been strained for decades on the issue of wartime compensation. even don't we get

told dr. you, what i or today's humiliating resolution is a result of the south korean government, consistently, lo, posturing towards the japanese government. don't forget about the teaching if you do it. there are 3 surviving victims of advanced hears who's cases 100 verdicts by the supreme court. they are all clearly opposing the south korean government plan. let's take this home. we can speak now to bonham, chicago electra. so again, universities graduate school of international studies joined us now from so said, so what's your reaction to this? president biden says it's groundbreaking a critical step. do you agree with that? well, it depends upon your perspective. so use on, you know, government of south korea, this is that no more waiting will not really lead to the agreeable result they will satisfy that wasn't able to south ground public anyway. so the nation will get better in terms of a critical security interest by enhancing the security cooperation with an end the

united states by alleviating this obstacle to the our next, that of the jury and security cooperation with our 2 countries. so what are the political repercussions of the say, why doesn't the opposition party like it? well, i mean, the defenders which are the 2 japanese operations in these cases are not included in the lease. the jettas corporation will make donations to the foundation that will assume the responsibility of the subrogation to pay compensation for the victim. so we did the defender, the company's in play. this is not the, you know, acceptable exercise of the rule of law by the sucker and government, according to the credits. and what about the victims, families?

what, what 1st month and all of us? well, they, many of them find announced month, not satisfactory. i guess the ruling party and the office of south korea are counting that the operating parties are in deep trouble because the legal scandals surrounding the chairperson of the party and it's the jam, you know. so how long be possible is that the public opinion back less when that will lead derailed the regime at least the for the upcoming national symbol election in a bill of 2024. but we have to wait. is it because of a career? go opinions toward the japan when it comes to historical entity, issues about very big impact in domestic politics in south korea, to the japanese companies that they point to 965 treaty where south re received was at 300000000 in in aid in economic aid and also another settlement in 2015.

right. as soon as it has been done last, standing in the persistent position held by gibbons, government, and corporations. so with including those 2, jenkins corporations, the new, the steel and meet you beat your heavy industry. as you know, members of the corporations making financial donations to the foundations to generate the revenues, to pay off the victims of south korea. then the japanese government is argument that the japan has made no concessions, but we'll gain the strength of domestic politics in japan, which will be critical blow to the incident. so without having these jeff corporations taking play, taking a role in the next steps of the reconciliation, then there will be a huge domestic political impact against the government of south korea in your

future. so what was your fence and you think southridge president can whether this opposition now there is the calculation completed by the prison. i think that we have to wait and see it because president using, you know, want to upgrade and strengthen the security cooperation with the united states, against the escalation of the major threat from the nuclear arm to north korea. and in the midst of the strategy, competition between china and the united states. but whether such an outland can be justified as necessary evil for the service of the national interest. we have to wait and see how the public will make the final judgment. all right, we'll leave it that thanks. field perspective, depreciated bundle should. thanks now iran says supremely that says,
