. this is omicron

this is cnn breaking news >> welcome to our viewers joining us in the united states and around world, we continue tracking in the middle east this hour, a major earthquake killed hundreds in sierra and turkey and the death toll is rising quickly, syrian report at least 237 people died in sierra and 600 injured in an unknown number could be trapped under rubble. we just got this video of a rescuer carrying an injured child away from the rubble of a damaged building, a group known as the syrian self-defense declared the northwestern part of syria disaster area, dozens buildings collapsed both countries. at least 76 people reported dead in turkey and more than 400 injured. emergency workers are asking for

silence so they can hear if trapped under the rubble. the governor said nearly how to search and rescuers are headed to the impact region and turkey's disaster and emergency management agency is calling for international support. the u.s. geological survey said the epicenter of the 7.8 magnitude quake was in turkey's province, it's believed to be the strongest to hit turkey since 1939. at least 18 after shocks were i a magnitude greater than four have been reported. and cnn scott mclean is following developments joins us now from london not only what you this 7.8 magnitude in central turkey one of the strongest in 100 years hit the country but struck when most people were sleeping of course in a part of the country where buildings are particularly vulnerable and that has many border what the total loss of life may be.

what more are you learning about this. >> i think that the death tolls right now are the people they've been able to count you can only imagine how high the death toll expected to get, especially when you compare it to previous disasters, the previous team turkey to a 7.8 was 1939, 39 people killed, a strong 6.4. that's probably a better comparison because it happened more recently. in this case, some videos that we're seeing are remarkable straight out of a war zone, this is not that. what i think strike as lot of people is that you'll have one building that is seemingly completely in fact or mostly in tact or at least on the surface undamaged and the one next to it will be very badly damaged, if it hasn't collapsed entirely i want to show you a piece of

video in particular from a city. this is very near to the epicenter of the initial quake. and it just give us a sense of the scene on the ground just before sunrise. watch.

>> you hear sounds like they're calling out someone's name, the name of their loved one perhaps trying to desperately find them amidst the chaos but this video illustrates what i was mentioning some buildings are relatively ok, relatively unscathed in the grand scheme of things and other buildings it's difficult to tell that there was even a building there, because they're so flattened. that looks like it was just tipped over like some kind of a toy or something like that and this is what rescue workers are dealing with not just in one concentrated area, but over a relatively wide swarth of the country, and we're also hearing from my colleague who is reporting that you have traffic jambs on the way out to the airport area, where it's much more sparsely populated. you have long lines people trying to get gas, any supplies they can imagining they will likely be living in their cars

for the foreseeable future if homes are damaged or uninhabitable at the moment. after 199 the earthquake, turkey certainly learned a lesson about earthquaking and trying to get buildings up to standard, so they've been trying to tear down buildings not up to building code and rebuild them in an earthquake-proof way, but this is a very slow, very expensive process that's been taking place last few decade, but i think we are finding out very quickly in a tragic way, which of those buildings obviously were up to code, and which ones frankly were not. rosemary. >> that's exactly the concern, isn't it? as we were looking at that horrifying video, as you say, more than likely, those are relatives calling out the inmates of loved ones. we don't know that for sure, but it's cold, wet, scott, talk to he is about the access that

turkey has in terms of earth moving equipment. these are the critical hour, speed is of essence when you're trying to find survivors under the rubble. >> yes, so i will just tell you what we're seeing in the videos that we have from gaz iantep, one showed large pieces of equipment trying to move rubble out of the way, this is a delicate operation, some of the videos we're seeing it's difficult to imagine frankly how anyone could have possibly survived something like that, some cases looks like the building completely pancaked on to itself floor after floor, other places looks like space perhaps someone could be trapped underneath and we're seeing rescue efforts and people trying to pull people out, but put putting themselves in an enormous amount of danger as well, sort of crawling into spaces where you have a slafb concrete on top of you trying to get to anyone who might be under

there without disturbing the overall structural stability of this disaster site. also keep in mind there are still feeling tremors and likely will for the coming hours and days given an earthquake of this magnitude, 7.8 is tied for the strongest earthquake on record in turkey. they've been keeping detailed records about last hundred years. so this part of turkey especially lies at the intersection of a few fault lines and so they're used to some level of seismic activity, but nothing, nothing like this, rosemary. >> just horrifying, scott joining us live from london, we'll continue to join us throughout the next few hours. so cnn supervising meteorologist brandon miller joins me in studio, and you know, we were just discussing with scott the fact that you told me about a 7.8 magnitude earthquake, people were asleep at 4:00, 4:15 in the

morning. the structures very vulnerable in that part of the world. even though and we heard from scott there has been an effort to knock some buildings down. talk to us about what this will mean in terms of a death toll, the lives lost, because we're only counting those that we know of. >> sadly it's going up, as we get further no the day, time, we know that this is the main cities that they are in right now. as we go further up into the northeast where the epicenter, we think of an epicenter as a point on map. it's not this strike slip occurred went for hundreds of kilometers, i can see you what's on my computer on the screen here, this fault, this little star here is what we call the epicenter but the slip of this fault went for hundreds of kilometers, 150 miles maybe. these are the areas that felt

7.8 magnitude shaking, that is extremely violent shaking will take down good buildings, you her scott saying they're trying to take them down and build earthquake proof, we talk about that a lot with the idea of weather primarily hurricanes, making something hurricane, proof, you can do that to a point after awhile it's a category 3, 4, 5, hurricane, you can't do much to prepare for that, a 7.8 earthquake if you were truly near the epicenter where the fault is striking at its worst, they're not much you can do, sadly the pictures we're seeing are from these buildings that are probably some of the best in southern turkey in northern syria they have the capability of getting the pictures out the first hours after an earthquake, you see some places on the map the epicenter of the slip went for

100 miles going up into the mountains, rural rugged terrain, landslides , we know there's month rain and snow on the way. that's got make things slide even more when you get into the terrain, two, 3,000 feet up into the mountains, that the certainly something that concerns me. you mentioned the death toll, one thing we can look at the united states gee logic survey runs models, and they take into effect the earthquake, the shaking, where it occurred, the vulnerability of the structure, how deep it was, how many people are there, and it runs quite detailed models so we can get an idea in the first hours what kind of damage to expect, and sadly, this pager is what it's called, the green, yellow and red based on how bad and this is well into the red range, showing most likelihood of potentially

over 1,000 fatalities, that shouldn't be a surprise, from the ones in recent history that is weren't even this strong, 7.0 or 5 doesn't sound like a lot to go up to 7.8 but it is significantly more shaking and over a really wide area. >> as you've been talking to us, we've been seeing pictures and they're basically using bare hands to lift debris and trying to get to survivors perhaps under this rubble and this -- this is cold weather. it's wet. it's -- the weather is not helping in this effort and these are critical hours. >> correct. looking ahead to tonight, you know, people are not i'm going to want to be in their buildings if lucky enough to have one standing. we know that after shocks are still occurring, continue to occur, we've seen over 20 as time goes on, they lessen usually in intensity and in

frequency, but they will still be we call them after shocks but they're earthquakes, 6.7 after shock was another 6.'s7 earthquake we could see another 5.5, 6.5 in the coming hours and days, people won't want to sleep in a building. you're not going to want to go inside, stay outside, temperatures will be one, two degree celsius, falling below freezing tonight be rain changing to snow, these are not conditions people want to be out in and if you're you lucky to be inside you probably don't have power so you're not going to have heat. it's never great weather, you know, in this part of the world in january and february, but now it's particularly cold. >> terrifying for those people involved particularly if they have a family member who's missing. brandon miller thank you so much for talking with us.

. video shows a survivor pulled from the rubble after one of the strongest earthquakes to hit turkey in more than a century. more than 500 people have been killed and more than 1,000 injured in turkey, and in neighboring syria, the u.s. geological survey said the quake of a magnitude of 7.8. at least 18 after shocks with a magnitude over 4 have been recorded since that initial earthquake. turkey is calling for international assistance and has deployed more than 1,000 search and rescue workers >> we're learning critical new details about when u.s. officials became aware of the suspected chinese spy balloon last week and when they alerted president biden, days before it was shot down off the south carolina coast, it was spotted around alaska, when it began

drifting towards the u.s. mainline, officials say they realized it was a situation that required the president's attention and he ultimately ordered the military to shoot it down once it was safe to do so. the navy somehow trying to recover the balloon's remnants, a resident in south carolina filmed uniformed man inspecting possible debris on a boat but cnn cannot confirm it came from the balloon. >> china's defense ministry accused the u.s. of overreacting by shooting the balloon down and says quote, china reserves right to use necessary means to deal with similar situation, so let's get more now on china's reaction from our beijing urban chief. good to see you, steven. china said the u.s. overreacted to this balloon hovering over its territory by shooting it down, what else are chinese officials saying about this and what would china have done had this been an american balloon

hovering over its territory? >> yes, well, that's when it's quite ironic china is accusing the u.s. of reactioning given beijing usual obsession with sovereignty and national security. they're response probably not retiring surprising given they do have a domestic audience to address, you mentioned the defense ministry and the latest messaging coming from the vice ministry of foreign affairs who's a top candidate to become the next chinese ambassador to the u.s. and he summoned here in beijing monday morning, repeating the u.s. decision to quote in quote a vessel invading and china plans to take further actions despite these rhetoric so far, many people are expecting immediate actions and

part of that is he being reflected on china's government controlled and censor media, we've seen some international feedback but nothing seems to be reaching a fever pitch as we previously seen in similar incidents when there were run ins between the two governments such when a u.s. spy plain collided with a chinese fighter jet back in 2001. there still is hope they may want to turn the page over quickly as possible to maintain communication with the u.s. to bring this relationship back on track, which, of course, was the purpose of that highly anticipated visit by u.s. secretary of state blinkin until this incident, which he had to postpone a trip this is part of that fiasco, not to mention long-term concern i mentioned that given this incident that

chinese military may now be incentives to shoot down u.s. recognizance in this region especially man craft or vessels. >> many thanks, the suspected spy balloon is down but the issue remains alost for republicans on capitol hill, house republicans may vote on a resolution for condemning president biden for taking too long, it could pass early as tuesday, the same day mr. biden will deliver his state of the union address, here's more reaction from lawmakers. >> i want to start by doing something i don't do often commending joe biden for actually having the guts to shoot this down that was the right thing to do, absolutely what the president should have done. unfortunately, he didn't do that until a week after it entered u.s. air space. >> they're saying we should have shot down the balloon the minute

we saw it. i would use two words. in answering these gop criticisms. they have premature and they are political. >> presidents have ability to go before a camera, go before the nation and basically explain these things early on and his failure to do so i don't understand that. i don't understand why he wouldn't do that and that is the beginning of der election of duty and the second is we have to act swiftly. >> car line hillman is a democratic strategist and critical theory and social justice joining us from los angeles >> and alex stewart is political commentator and republican strategist from new hampshire. welcome to you both. let's start with the shooting down of china of suspected spy balloon. off the coast of south carolina. republicans say president biden took too long to shoot it down. even though the pentagon advised

him to wait until the balloon was over water due to public safety concerns. so alice why are republicans politicizing this decision. >> rosemary, a lot of republicans we're hearing from and many i've spoken with this is not about politics, this is about national security. and the question many continue to have is what took so long. and not only that, we're seeing that across the globe. looking at international headlines for this, that the high altitude spying spark as new low in u.s. china relations. look, it is unconceivable to hear china say what the united states did in response was overreacting and provocative, when, in fact, what is provocative is sending a spy drone to any portion of the united states let alone across the entire country and not expect some kind of reaction and some kind of consequence for those actions.

and look, what i am also hearing from many republicans in washington, dc is they're hearing from their constituents, republicans and democrats, who are outraged also rosemary at the length of time it took for action to be taken and also putting new spotlight on the danger that is china poses on many fronts, not just in terms of their surveillance and spying capabilities but with human rights abuses and with many actions they're doing across the globe, not the least of which is their failure to condemn russia for its invasion of ukraine, so this just yet again puts a new spotlight on the many dangers that we face with china. >> caroline, your reaction, house gop members pushing to vote on a resolution tuesday condemning president biden's handling of this suspected chinese spy balloon crisis. what do you say? >> i say it's hyper billic necessarily of the national security threat.

it's a minor threat, yes, brazen but anyone in intelligence can tell you that they can get better information using satellites, spy satellites and a variety of other sources, this was absolutely brazen but not a big threat to security and at the end of the day republicans are making hey out of this. i don't think we should be politicizing anything with china, alice is right in the sense we have to be concerned about human rights abuses, i would add to that certainly anti-competitive practices, fact they're shipping, you know, chemicals to mexico to make fentanyl that's killing 100,000 americans a year, the situation in taiwan, we don't need partisan politics driving our foreign policy with one of our major trading partners the second trading power in the world. we don't believe partisan baloney entered the sphere because this is it not a

security concern. >> let's turn to polling, shows most americans would be unhappy if either joe biden or donald trump won the 2024 presidential election, 62% disaster with the thought of another biden term compared to 56 dissatisfied with the thought of another trump presidency. when it comes to the primaries trump is ahead of the pack with only ron desantis nipping at his heels. we're about 12 months away or so from the start of those primaries. alice, this really is it just do you think a two-man race on the republican side between trump and desantis and which of them do you think will get the nomination if that is, indeed, the case? >> rosemary, i can tell you having worked on five presidential campaigns on republican side, as you know it's very early, and we only have one other candidate that is really signaled that they will get in, and that is former south

carolina governor nikki haley. >> she's only got about 3% support. doesn't really factor in, does she >> no, not at this point, again, it's early, what we're seeing and hearing from republican rational republicans and donors to republican candidates while they appreciate and thankful for what donald trump did to solidify the base and bring in a lot of voters that have not been involved in politics for many years, it's time to find someone that represents his policies, but it's not quite as toxic as and provocative as he is in politics, and many are ready to turn the page, and many are looking at the way to thread the needle how to keep his supporters on board, but also broaden the electorate to many that have left the republican party due to donald trump. so i think there are several candidates out there that can do that and find that magic formula

to broaden the electorate and make this about policy that is are really representative of this entire country and i do believe that many are frustrated with the current president and we're seeing in polls, the "washington post," abc poll shows 40% of americans say their financial situation is worse than two years ago, and they are two years ago and not satisfied with the job biden is doing 40% approval. we're seeing people across the country ready to move past president biden and i do think a republican has a great chance >> so caroline while overall voters appear tired of joe biden, it's worth noting most polls show his rating in with democrats are in the 80's, but if the party is trying to appeal to all voters, who else my

better excite voters in 2024 or is joe biden man. >> i think joe biden is the man because he's the incumbent, and alice, i think it's a little wishful thinking that donald trump won't be the nominee i hope you're right in the sense i care about democracy and i want a candidate on the republican side who will compare about that and i think donald trump on january 6 demonstrated he does not. this is most likely match-up. desantis might give donald trump a run for his money but there's nobody on the democratic side, there are plenty of great candidates, kamala harris, gavin newsom. but at the end of the day we haven't seen an incumbent president step aside, power doesn't give up power and i don't anticipate joe biden will do that, his state of the union address coming tuesday will be the kickoff to his 2024 run. >> we'll see. caroline, alice, thank you for joining us.

trapped both the rubble. the 7.8 magnitude quake struck before day break, since then, 18 after shocks reported. joining me from turkey, near where this quake hit, our journalist, these are critical hours, of course, as search and rescue teams try desperate to find survivors in the wake of this 7.8 magnitude quake what more are you learning about those efforts and situation on the ground right now? >> rosemary, i was just in gaziantep, i went to a neighborhood where a building collapsed, i've seen at least four ambulances, a lot of volunteers from, they were trying to save people under the rubble. the earthquake reaction is very

quick, but we keep hearing about people stuck under rubbles in other city in the south of turkey, and they're still, trying to do as much as i can. i would say this is like -- turkey is not strange to earthquakes, but this is by far the strongest one since decades. and people have very bad memories about previous especially people remember an earthquake happen 24 years ago and those memories came back, there's a lot frightened here, a lot of people are my family, for example, they are staying at school. a lot of people are going to open areas, for example, in the

situation where i live the highway to the airport which is out of the city is full with traffic jam because people are trying to get much away as possible from buildings, i've seen a, about two kilometers to the north of epicenter, i've seen a lot of the cars like hundreds of the cars moving away from gaziantep, and i haven't seen the highway this crowded ever. even during vacations like it's never this crowded even like gas stations are crowded. mini-markets i went to one and bought some water and they were almost fully empty like 90% of the shelves were empty. it's frightening. in fact, actually, just like, open space on the highway, and after shocks, i was in the car

and we had to stop on the side to wait for the after shock to end for like ten seconds. >> i can understand how terrifying that would be. of course, we can all understand why people would be trying to flee the area. as you've been speaking to us, we've been looking at these pictures, that show a lot of people actually using their bare hands to try to get to those people under the rubble. we're only seeing a very few heavy earth moving equipment in the area, is that the case? it's always difficult when you only got a small framework to look at but what sort of heavy earth moving equipment is available for this rescue effort? >> i looked in one of the biggest cities in the south, which is gaziantep, so i can speak to what i've seen in the area saw the building collapse, there were a couple of heavy

weight vehicle, they were charged and approximately 16 between rescuers and self-defense workers working there in gaziantep, as far as i know, they have equipment for this. but i don't know about other cities. i have been hearing that there were some a lot of need for more equipment in other cities. at the same time, depends on the city itself. so in turkey, the building has to be qualified to be able to resist earthquakes. and those few buildings you see them in bigger cities, i would presume probably in smaller cities around gaziantep, they have been affected even more because their buildings are probably older but in general, in gaziantep, i can say where i

went, there were heavy equipment. i don't know about the other cities, actually. >> thank you so much for talking, with us. and we will of course, join you again in just, probably next hour, thank you again. we're joined now by cnn international producer in istanbul. next few hourses are critical for search and rescue operations as they try to find survivors under the rubble there. what can you tell us about earthquakes that have hit turkey in the past? how quickly were they able to get to people and get them out? >> well, rosemary, turkey psyche was impacted by the huge earthquake that took place in 1999, and ever since that, it is something that the turkish public, government. has been gearing up for, the question has always biden when is the next big earthquake going to hit and will we be more prepared? i think we're seeing in response

to think that there is a plan unlike 99 earthquake which was a complete failure in terms of the government response, this time we're seeing mobilization of rescue teams, of ambulances, even here in istanbul we can see ambulances and emergency vehicles are making their way across the bridge here into asia to drive into these locations in the southeast of the country. since 199, turkey has been trying to update its building code. it's gone through huge urban renewal projects that aimed to sort of take the old stock of housing and renew it and put it up to earthquake code. it hasn't of course been a quick process, so there's a lot of old buildings out there. as your previous guest mentioned, it's something that has definitely taken place in some bigger cities, but not everything has been up to code

now, and it's -- it's been an ongoing process, but for sure, in turkey, the response of the government and you know, government institutions to respond to an earthquake are very integral part of the see key that traumatized the public since the earthquake. i've i was here for 99 and been in earthquakes after earthquakes like that, and the response this time is wide but, of course, this is a huge area that we're talking about, more than ten provinces have been impacted and it's going to be a very difficult process and there's going to be tough days ahead for turkey both in terms of the human loss as well as the economic one, rosemary. >> indeed and of course, shelter, food, water for those people who survived but no longer have homes to live in. thank you so much for joining us, appreciate it.

cnn joins us live from london with more, sal ma, this earthquake has had an devastating impact on turkey and syria, in terms of lives but felt across the area and a number of places. >> a huge earthquake i know you just heard from my colleague there about the situation in turkey. i want to update you, rosemary, specifically on syria, where syria officials say according to state media 230 people have been killed, over 600 people injured. they're naming the provinces most affected. the syria ministry is mobilizing across the country, provinces to put equipment and resources they can towards these affected areas, but of course, rosemary, when you were talking about syria, this is a very different situation to turkey. this is a country that has

suffered war now for nearly 12 years. that means many of the country's institutions its infrastructure is absolutely destroyed and devastated has not been rebuilt. you heard how turkey has been working to bring its buildings up to code, in syria, these are buildings that have been devastated by bombardment and shelling over a decade now. response across the country will not be even, rosemary you have to remember that if the province in particular in the north still rebel hell, rebel controlled, they will be mostly volunteer forces trying to pull people out from under the rubble. absolutely devastating to think of a country where it's suffered war, and those families did they think it was a bomb or did they think it was an earthquake? an already traumatized country traumatized with little resources, little equipment now facing this major disaster,

. this is cnn. there's new effort to limit russia's ability to make money and finance its war, the u.s. and other g 7 nations along with the european union and australia have now agreed to place a price cap on the fine petroleum products such as diesel and fuel oil. cnn claire sebastian has details. >> this is likely one of the last shipments of russian diesel to europe, 40,000 tons arriving in northern germany last month. russian diesel imports to the e.u. hits a record in december as the country race to build up

supplies >> we put in place the strongest sanctions ever. >> three months after an e.u. embargo on sea born crude oil from russia along with price cap designed to allow none.u. to about it under a certain price the same thing is happening with refined product-in russia's case the biggest case, a product widely used in making plastic >> the aim is to stabilize global energy prices and reduce russian revenues. >> in terms of that first goal, so far, so good. crowd oil prices have not shut up since those december sanctions. this may be harder with oil products, take diesel, russia is one of the world's biggest experters of diesel, and 66% went to e.u. countries, when it comes to crude oil, russia has been sending a lot of barrels

that used to go to europe to india and china, the problem with diesel and other oil products is that china and india are big exporters themselves. >> so russia has to look elsewhere, places like africa, parts of middle east will be able to absorb some russian dieseling oil products but not the kind of volumes that europe traditionally taken. russia will have to and has already having to offer big discounts to try and find buyers and cover additional costs of cargos moving much longer distances. >> diesel prices including russian diesel fallen slightly since summer peaks, partly because of russian discount, experts say the price of nonrussian diesel will likely rise the next few months, a current stocks run out and chinese command rises making the market much more competitive. what about that second goal? >> reduce russian revenues, i think will hurt russia, it will be selling less, and i think it
