heavy weapons arrive in ukraine. but are they enough to silence? critics who say germany has done too little to help you crane defend itself? ah, i'm nichol fairly welcome to the show. the death toll from a powerful earthquake in eastern afghanistan continues to rise. at least 1000 people are confirmed to have died with hundreds more injured. rescue efforts are especially difficult in the remote mountainous region. adding to the challenge is the fact that many international aid agencies left afghanistan after the taliban took over. rescuers and survivors rush, the injured to waiting helicopters, getting around, and the remote mountainous regions of eastern afghanistan is challenging under normal circumstances. but after wednesday's earthquake,

it is even more difficult. the powerful tremor took residents by surprise. many were at home in their beds when it hit the savage view. i spoke it up. i think it was midnight when the quake struck among the kids. and i screamed, one of our rooms was destroyed, while our neighbors screamed and we saw everyone's rooms collapsed mine when both eventually, the houses in this rural region are mostly made of mud or stone. and dozens were destroyed. authorities fear many people could be trapped beneath the rubble. among the disaster opposes a major test for the taliban, lead government, which seized power last year. since then, many international agencies have left the country and billions of euros in development aid were cut as a result of dentist and was already facing a severe economic crisis. in light of these difficult circumstances, the taliban lead government is asking for international help. the afghan red

crescent society has dispatched humanitarian aid from cobbled to the affected areas . and the united nations says it's also sending its teams so maris i and rahman is the advocacy and communications director for the international rescue committee of ghana, stan, and cobble, and she gave us this update. well, it is an absolutely devastating situation that we are seeing unraveling and practical host. um, as was mentioned in the report earlier, these are some of the most underserved and impoverished communities in the country on there. extremely remote with poor infrastructure as people do not have the economic means to build proper housing. most in these areas live in mud homes that could not handle the massive jolt that they received last night. and i've mentioned the death toll is ex, has already exceeded a 1000 with scores more injured. and initial estimates are that 1800 homes have

been destroyed or damaged are due to, you know, the remote nature of the areas in which the largest impact is we are expecting that this figure will rise. has your organization been given access to the region? yes, we all have deployed mobile health teams to districts affected in a whole host province to to provide emergency medical relief. we're also sending an emergency teams to provide cash support to victims affected. i'm currently the humanitarian community here. international and yos, are coordinating through u. n. o tra, to have a better understanding and i'm through an assessment to have a better understanding of the scale of the impact of this disaster. so that we can best utilize the resources and capacities of all the organizations that are currently present. i'm so that we can reach as many affected people in as many

affected communities as possible in trying to reach those communities. what are the irises priorities in these kinds of catastrophic scenarios? well, our priority has always been women and children are 1st and foremost to given that oftentimes women and children face the brunt of humanitarian disasters. um food, tense, medicine cache support, whatever we can provide. we're going to look into that and expand our presence in the region. how do you think this will impact themed already very dire humanitarian situation in the country in that area specifically? ah, like you mentioned in this disaster, this rick event comes out of time where afghanistan is in the midst of a massive economic crisis. a worsening humanitarian crisis. poverty on the rise and a health system that is on the brink due to brain drain and

a lack of funding. this is just going to exacerbate the existing problems that exist on the ground in afghanistan. right now. a grim picture, your painting there somewhere aside from one of the international rescue committee . thank you so much for your time. termini will quote do justice to its responsibilities. that is, the message from german chancellor will have shots who use an address to the countries parliament to re stay germany's commitment to supporting ukraine and other international allies. in a wide ranging speech shows said the un nato had joined forces like never before, to fight against russian imperialism. he said germany knew from its history, that alliances were important and that germany was a reliable partner. in the gruesome zip codes, please. oh, in the biggest security children's in europe for decade, germany as the most densely populated and largest country in the use, doing justice to its responsibility. taking responsibility, not just for its own security,

but also that of its allies. it 2 weeks ago when i was in the baltic states, i made it clear that an attack on the baltic states would be an attack on all of us under hawkins. and i asked the w as chief political editor, we had o'keefe now, if it was remarkable, the chancellor so heavily emphasized not just germany security, but also its responsibility towards its allies. yes, absolutely. and germany has the stepped out. it's support to picky for those baltic countries. in lithuania, there's a whole gay that's rotating in and out to support the eastern flank. so goldie some flank of nato. so that means hardware that means heavy weapons. now that we've learned that indeed 7, how it says have arrived in ukraine with germany had trained ukrainian soldiers in total. it was 12, in addition, 5 from the netherlands. but the commitment he made and the responsibility he says spawns beyond ukraine and one's own security. but also towards the southern

hemisphere, those countries who are feeling the brunt of what is fast amounting to a food crisis. and those countries in the global south, he said, if they don't see that commitment from ost, meaning the europeans meeting the wide a west right now, that would mean that they would be under the sphere of influence of russia and china. and that, that must be avoided. so this is the big kind of spawning speech we saw. of course, we all those key some it's coming off of the new summit at the g 7 summit on the nato summit of the coming days. he certainly used the stage he had to day to try and quash the idea that he's moving too slowly on helping ukraine. do you think he achieved that goal? why said he didn't convince the opposition and there's more positive signals coming out of ukraine. what helped a great deal was, of course, that there's been a change in information policy now that is

a freely available list published of weapons committed equipment committed and equipment that has already arrived. and that is tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition that is surface to air missiles and is more heavy weapons including more houses. but also in those tanks that will be sent to the tech republic and the tech republic, sending soviet built ones on that is all still in the pipeline the possession seps and still lingers that germany was a bit slow to move off the mock. but then germany points at the bad situation, its own armed forces. i and right now we hello cool. now i'm going to some thank you so much. in his speech to parliament, chancellor shawls also said ukraine had every right to defend itself, adding it is our duty to support ukraine as best we can. germany has faced international criticism for its initial reluctance to supply ukraine with weapons
