1:02 am
this is pyongyang's second ballistic missile launch of the year. this comes as north korea warns of continuous and unprecedented strong responses if the u.s. and south korea go ahead with planned military exercises. they're expected to hold nuclear table top drills next week at the pentagon. so once again we're getting word of another missile launch by north korea and we'll bring new more details on this story as they come in. the war in ukraine is dominating the agenda at the security conference in germany, one of the world's largest and most influential domestic forums. kamala harris is leading a large american delegation there and is expected to deliver a major speech in just a couple of hours. in addressing the group on friday ukraine's president pleaded with allies to hurry up with deliveries of the advanced weapons they've already promised, that includes dozens of heavy battle tanks recently pledged by the u.s. and nato allies. ukraine's military is widely expected to launch its own
1:03 am
counteroffensive once it has those tanks. volodymyr zelenskyy called for ukraine to become a full member of the european union and nato. >> there is no alternative to ukrainian victory. there is no alternative to ukraine and, in the eu. there is no alternative ukraine in nato. there is no -- no alternative to our unity. >> in his own speech germany's chancellor said europe should be prepared to support ukraine for as long as it takes even if the conflict drags on for years. cnn's christiane amanpour asked him about it. >> you in your speech said we have to be ready for the long haul. you must strategize and think among yourselves how long this could last. do you have a target date? >> be prepared for a long war, and it is wise to give putin the
1:04 am
message that we are ready to stay all the time together with ukraine, and that we will constantly support the country. so it is not really a very good idea that in this conference, or at this podium, the two of us discuss the question when exactly and which months this war will end. the really important decision we should take all together is saying that we are willing to do it as long as necessary, and that we will do our best. >> cnn's nic robertson is covering the conference for us in munich and joins us with the latest. nick, scholz's comments i'm sure sparking interest. take us through what you found most significant. >> reporter: that general message of unity and a message of coordination and continued cooperation. if you go back to a year ago this conference was speaking about the possibility of a russian invasion, of warnings to
1:05 am
russia. the invasion went ahead. the war started. all of ukraine's supporters and partners here have subsequently started giving weapons. but the important part now is to sustain it, to ramp it up, but to coordinate it. so i think that's part of the messaging here. but later today we'll be hearing a speech by the chinese foreign minister wang yi, and i think an important part of the discussions go on behind the scenes here, the vice president kamala harris speaking yesterday with the french president emmanuel macron, with the german chancellor olaf scholz. so behind the scenes here, there will be that message that needs to be communicated to china, not to support russia so much in the war, but also to allies and partners to regard china with that level of concern, that
1:06 am
while economic cooperation is okay, that security should come first, and people should be mindful of that, thinking of the economic engagement in a europe, european nations have with russia, the way that disengagement has happened to ensure security now. so the china issue is something that is behind the scenes and also on platforms today getting discussion as well. that's an important part of what's going on here. >> nic, you mentioned consider considers speaking later today. do we have any idea more what we'll be expecting from her? >> reporter: absolutely. it will be about that unity. it will be about thanking partners across the atlantic for the support they've given, such as the tanks from germany. it will be building on that. it will be assuring that the united states is there for the long haul, assuring that the support that ukraine has had so far will continue for as long as it's needed. those messages will be
1:07 am
reenforced from the platform. but also, i think we can expect, you know, signaling, at least on the issue of china and the growing concerns that exist there. >> we'll be watching. nic robertson in munich, thank you so much, we appreciate it. as western allies debate for help more ukraine kyiv is accusing russia as using water as a weapon of war. russia is reportedly draining war from a reservoir northeast of kherson, and according to ukraine that could leave more than a million people without enough drinking water. the water levels have already dropped by more than seven feet. officials say the move could also affect the cooling of the nuclear power plant which is in that part of ukraine. outfuned, outnumbered but going all out to win the war, that's the raeltd for many ukrainian helicopter pilots as they take on russian forces in outdated soviet era aircraft. cnn's sam kiley got exclusive
1:08 am
access to some of them and filed this report. >> reporter: the target is russian troops. a hard bank left and a dive. and flares to distract heat seeker missiles. a pair of ukrainian helicopters on an assault against russian forces close to bakhmut. >> the russian aircraft are waiting around the border on the flank. we should be careful when we go. we should fly on very low altitude and very low speed to prevent our recognition. >> reporter: below, trenches, and east ukrainian villages smashed by war.
1:09 am
back from this, this forward base is secret, as low profile as possible. the mia helicopters are refueled, and rearmed. they expect to fly at least three a day when you took off this morning were you frightened? >> why? >> well, because the russians want to kill you. >> we don't have any other choice than to fight with russia. if you're frightened, stay at home. >> reporter: that's not an option here. this soviet-era helicopter is about 30 years old. the threat against it is extreme. and as a result of that, we are having to fly quite literally below the height of trees, climbing and dipping with every piece of woodland that we pass. built as transport aircraft they're most vulnerable when they climb to shoot their rockets.
1:10 am
diving for cover to 20 feet above the ground is also perilous. a change in sound indicates a tree strike by the helicopter's blades. back at base the blades are swapped quickly. ukraine doesn't have aircraft to spare. nor pilots. so he skippers the chopper that hits the trees. he tells me in december a very close friend of mine died. a lot of people i knew, friends, have already died unfortunately. it's very painful, and i'm very upset, and i cannot move on. he went on, we need new attack helicopters, new jets. unfortunately our equipment is old and its range is very small and it's inaccurate. a year into fighting russia's invasion, ukraine is still asking for more advanced
1:11 am
helicopters and jets. so far the response from her allies has been sorry, but no. and so they fight on here with what they've got. sam kiley, cnn, eastern ukraine. >> the u.s. military says it's completed recovery operations for the suspected chinese spy balloon it shot down off the coast of south carolina two weeks ago, the final pieces of debris are being taken to the fbi lab in virginia. the military called off the search for the three objects shot down over alaska and lake huron territory. extremely bad weather made it difficult to recover any debris from those objects. former u.s. president donald trump is planning to meet with res dens in eastern ohio next week as the area recovers from a toxic train derailment. some residents in east palestine say they've developed sore throats, nausea and headaches following the train crash
1:12 am
earlier this month. one family shared these images of their children, saying one child developed a rash on her face, another was le chargic and experiencing eye pain. they claim the children's symptoms got better when they left town. residents don't want to risk their health and safety. listen to this. >> it's kind of like a sense you can sense something's wrong if you're smelling something like, even if the tests are coming back and you're still feeling dizzy, weak, tingling mouth, severe headaches. it's not okay with two young children. i don't want to expose them to that. >> ohio's governor says state and federal agencies will set up a clinic to address residents' health concerns. on friday the governor tried to reassure residents that the town's drinking water supply is safe to drink. here he is. >> i understand people have been traumatized. and i understand skepticism. and sometimes skepticism is warranted. nothing wrong with healthy skepticism. but all i can do as governor of
1:13 am
the state of ohio is tell you we have the best experts that we can get, and we have the best equipment that there is available to do the testing. >> cnn's chief climate correspondent bill weaver has more now on the disaster in ohio. >> both state and federal officials have been scrambling to allay fears around east pal tine, ohio there president health effects lingering two weeks after that horrific derailment. governor mike dewine gave the most -- tried to alleviate fears, tried to say we've tested the water repeatedly, safe to drink if you're on the village water system. he said the plume of chemicals floating down the ohio river dissipated to the point it was barely traceable in their measurements but there's still questions about the soil which was not removed when the railroad, norfolk southern, hastened to get those tracks put back in so they could get rail traffic going again. there's so much suspicion among
1:14 am
residents there they don't know who to believe right now. we of course live in the age of conspiracy, and after the covid debates you have state senators of the same party of the republican governor questioning whether to believe him when he says all is safe there as well. we have surveillance video from the norfolk southern train that shows that faulty axle sparking, 43 minutes before the ultimate crash and derailment there. just shows what happens when trains lately have been running longer trains, more cars with fewer personnel. the engineer at the front of a 1.8 mile train didn't know what was happening at the back. on top of that antiquated braking systems, all subjects that will come up certainly in the eight class action lawsuits that have been filed so far against norfolk southern. i'm bill weir in new york, back to you. officials in south florida closed two parks, dismissed two schools, and urged people to stay indoors on friday because
1:15 am
of a fire at a waste management facility that's been burning for nearly a week. the blaze started sunday at a plant in doral. the mayor of miami-dade county said they're monitoring for toxicity, and warning about air kwat problems. >> reporter: as the firefighters regain access to the remaining blaze we anticipate an increase in smoky conditions. any residents with preexisting respiratory and cardiac conditions as well as older adults, young children and expectant mothers should take additional precautions such as wearing a mask if you feed to be outdoors. >> so far there are no reports of injuries, the cause of the fire is under investigation. well, almost two weeks after turkey's devastating earthquake emergency workers still search for signs of life. ahead, the latest on rescue efforts, and a live report from istanbul, and a suspect in two anti-semitic shootings in los angeles is now in custody, and facing hate crimes charges.

1:23 am
prosecutors here are rushing this case, that there's been a rush to judgment, and they're urging people to keep an open mind as we wait to hear more. look, we're still waiting for more officers who are under investigation, and whether or not they're going to face any criminal charges, disciplinary charges, and also we're still we waiting for more video and audio to be released by the city. all of this happening as many of the investigations here still very much under way. shimon prokupecz, cnn, memphis, tennessee. >> the three students killed in the mass shooting this week at michigan state university will soon be laid to rest. cnn confirmed the funeral arrangements have been made for all three. one is taking place on tuesday, two are being held in the coming hours, including for brian fraser. >> brian was a wonderful young man. he was one of my son's dear friends. they had a wonderful friend

devastating earthquake in turkey and syria the death toll has surpassed 45,000 people. turkey alone has confirmed more than 39,000 deaths, but that could rise since more than 90,000 buildings have been either collapsed or ready to be demolished. under all that rubble emergency workers are finding more survivors. on friday they rescued a 45-year-old man almost 280 hours after the disaster. cnn's nada bashir is tracking live from istanbul. what's the latest on the rescue and recovery? >> reporter: well, look, kim, as we've already learned from the authorities there are now less than 200 search and rescue operations ongoing in southeast turkey, although there are still thousands of personnel working on the ground hoping that they may still find survivors. it is truly remarkable, we are still seeing survivoring being pulled out of the rubble. in the last hour state media
1:33 am
reporting that three people, including a child, were pulled out of the rubble in hata, 296 hours after the earthquake. it is remarkable to still be hearing of survivors at this stage, and for many in southeast turkey waiting for news of their loved ones this is a moment of hope but of course ha window for finding survivors is closing. we've said that for days now and we are still seeing these rescues taking place but of course the conditions there are dire to say the least. it is freezing cold and hope is fading for those still buried beneath the rubble and there is perhaps a shift of focus now to supporting those who have survived the earthquake, thousands and thousands of people in southeast turkey left homeless, many requiring urgent medical attention as well as humanitarian assistance. and we have seen that outpouring of support across the country. we've seen aid distribution centers being set up here in it istanbul. we've seen ferries being converted into medical clinics
1:34 am
being shipped to southeast turkey to provide that support over there, orphanages here in istanbul opening their doors to children who have lost their parents or who they simply haven't been able to identify in order to reunify them with their families. according to the authorities at least 900 children so far have been reunited with loved ones but this is a process that could take months and we have to, of course, acknowledge the infrastructural challenges, some 95 buildings already destroyed or needing demolition because they are simply too unsafe. this is a significant challenge for the turkish government and it will take months and they are asking for support from the international community. but at this stage that support is very much focused on the humanitarian response. now, the u.n. has appealed for one billion dollars over the next three months in order to provide that humanitarian assistance for those in southeast turkey. and this comes after appeal was announced for northwest syria of
1:35 am
around nearly $400 million. and we have seen an outpouring of support from the international community. thousands of those supporting that search and rescue effort still are from across the globe. we've seen search and rescue tales coming in from as far as the united states. but as that search and rescue effort begins to wind down we are still now hearing of aid groups coming in to provide that urgent care. kim? >> yeah, a long, long road to recovery. nada bashir in istanbul, thanks so much. in syria, the death toll from the earthquake remains at around 5,800 people. more aid is making its way to skt aed areas after the government agreed to open two additional border crossings into the rebel-held northwest. but the situation across the country remains dire. relief supplies are still arriving slowly, and on top of that, an isis attack has been reported in the west which according to state media killed at least 350 people on friday. philip and tamakasu are the
1:36 am
founders of save the syrian children. thanks so much for being here with us. just to start, what are your folks on the ground seeing in the areas hit hardest by the quake? >> yeah, we've been operating in northwest syria for the last seven years so we've witnessed assad's barrel bombings, indiscriminate bombings at civilians, markets, schools, gas attacks. and this is one of the worst experiences our doctors have seen on the ground, just the sheer number of casualties from this earthquake, it's something unprecedented. so it is a really dire situation in an already very vulnerable place. >> yeah, i mean, in turkey, for example, every day, even hundreds of hours after the earthquake, we're still seeing people -- some of them children, being pulled from the rubble. but not so in syria. there doesn't seem to be as much hope there. how hard is it to actually access these areas? i mean, each part of the country
1:37 am
has its own challenges in terms of either dealing with the syrian government in areas they control, or the rebel-controlled areas, not to mention the fact as we've just heard that isis is still active, 53 civilians killed in an isis attack on friday. how hard is it to get in and to get aid in to those who need it most? >> it's definitely a challenge, and it's a challenge that we've been battling for the last seven years. northwest syria is probably the hardest hit of any part of syria, which is mostly rebel-controlled, and it's not just one rebel group, there's multiple rebel groups, you mentioned isis, and several other extremist groups are in the area. so the first responders and the doctors on the ground face an immense challenge, just in -- in just servicing the local population. for us, we've been working through this war zone for a long time now so we have our channels in, we're able to get product directly into the hospitals and directly into the hands of the doctors and we're a doctor-led
1:38 am
organization. we work with the doctors to make sure whatever we're getting over the border gets directly into the hospitals, but it's a challenge, no doubt. >> what are the biggest needs? what are they lacking in most? >> yeah, i mean, i think the supplies in the hospitals are really, really dwindling down very fast. icu supplies coming down, and then we're going to see a lot of chronic diseases coming out from this earthquake. particularly kidney diseases because people that do survive are crushed under the rubble for quite some time, and lots of amputees. so i think, you know, the efforts, as you said, are dwindling and we're not getting a lot of survivors, particularly out of syria anymore, but if fight for the life of these folks inside the hospitals are starting now. folks are still hanging on by a thread, and this is when they need our support so doctors can keep saving lives in the hospitals. >> it's not just an acute problem, i mean, children as you outlined there were already dealing with so much pain and
1:39 am
hardship with the war. now this, and the effects of all this, the injuries and so on could last for decades. how long is the road to physical and mental recovery here? >> we have a long road ahead. you know, right now we're very focused, the first i would say week we were focused on trying to go and obviously get as many people out of the rubble as possible, like tamara just mentioned, we've shifted our thoughts and really our efforts to making sure we start the rescue efforts in the hospital, and we want to really get as many patients from critical condition to stable condition as possible over the course of the next number of weeks. from there, the real heavy lifting begins. because it will probably exit the news cycle, but unfortunately the need of millions on the ground will not stop. everything from base level camps, idp camps, making sure there's enough shelter so people aren't dying of hypothermia, we're talking about amputees and making sure they can actually get limbs so they can function in a place that's not really very handicap friendly to say the least and of course the
1:40 am
mental problems you mentioned earlier, no doubt about that. the ptsd that all of these children will face and civilians will face is severe. and will probably go on for decades, unfortunately. >> yeah, you mentioned sort of keeping attention on these issues. when it comes to getting americans here at home to help with the relief efforts, i mean, the syrian american community is much smaller than the turkish community here. how hard has it been to get the attention and the help you need? >> yeah, i think we've established a supply chain and a platform for people to come and donate. obviously, all of the donations to save the syrian children are 100% going to medical supplies, and to the shipment of those supplies into syria, where 100% volunteer-led organization so folks can help by going to www.savethesyrianchildren.org, they're experiencing donor fatigue, an area that doesn't receive a lot of international
1:41 am
aid, unlike turkey which is so welcome, this help is needed in turkey as well, syria has not been getting that sort of international attention. so the dollars go very far in syria. we need more international attention, government attention to go into northwest syria, an area very hard hit by the earthquake and we need to pay attention to the 4 million plus people affected there by the earthquake. >> we wish you and all of those on the ground doing the hard and dangerous work all the best, really appreciate you coming on and talking about this. >> appreciate you elevating the story, thank you. after so much heartbreak in syria, an incredible story of hope. a baby who was born under the rubble of a collapsed building in syria appears to be doing well. after surviving ten hours under the ruins of her family's home, the doctor says baby ayah is in good condition and doesn't need additional help. he and his wife are taking care
1:42 am
