a russian cruise missiles dw news, visits the site and the city of the pro and speaks to rescuers and survivors of an attack. last month, they killed $46.00 people. and by a munich, when their 1st bonus league a match this year with a poor to victory over bulls school. ah hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. a powerful earthquake has hit a wide area along the turkish syrian border. hundreds of people have been killed and the death toll continues to rise. flights in the region have been suspended. the magnitude 7.8 tremor was centered north of the turkish city of ghazi, untapped it's called destruction stretching all along turkey's southern border from the mediterranean eastwards. rescue operations are underway,

the u. s. israel and even ukraine have offered assistance. the quake struck in the early hours lasting more than a minute. the ferocity of the tremor caught on camera by one residence in the city of d. r. back here. the impact has been devastating. the official site that at least 17 buildings collapsed here, chopping many in their homes while they were sleeping with those who did managed to escape using any means possible in the search for survivors. the authorities in turkey say as many as 10 cities have been affected by the quake, sparking huge rescue efforts. and in the day light, the scale of the task now facing emergency teams is becoming clear. there are

people still trapped on the rebel. i have a friend living in this apartment. his children were rescued from the top floor, but only his door to broken arm. we'll see what happens to those living on the ground flows. all this other was all the epi center of the quake was in southeast, in turkey. but it also hit parts of neighboring sylvia leaving a trail of devastation. but amongst the rubble in the sybian city of his as a moments of joy for rescue was that also raised his hope that more may be found alive in the coming hours or days ahead shall. while ago i spoke with our correspondent dorian jones and is stumble, he gave us this update. well, this is a massive emergency operation is now going to force, but it's taking time this. it's very little concrete information we know at the moment. this happened in the early hours of the morning in the southern bald over

syria and turkey. i'm there, a desperate, desperate efforts now to rescue people from numerous claps buildings all across the southern border. we've seen images coming out with people just trying to borrow into building a multi sorry apartment, love sort of just collapsing into just moans of rubble. this is an extremely difficult time. this is one of the most powerful of quakes that turkey is as it talk to you in decades. it appears that possibly will even support the 1999 of weight that struck in the sample which claimed the lives of 17000 people. so bracing itself, one of the worst this offices country has faith in decades. tell us more about the region where the quake hit, how densely populated is that area. well, it struck between 2 turkeys main cities. in the south,

kara marsh and the marsh has a population of over a $1000000.00. the on tip is one over $2000000.00 and which is around half a 1000000 syrian refugees. but also many other cities, all across this region have been the 350 kilometers from the center that has a population of 82000000. having reports, there are many claps, buildings and casualties, and similar alpha cities, all in my area. this is a, has many densely populated cities and through the nature and the magnitude of this quite has inflicted major, major damage on all of these cities. how are turkey and the international community responding to this so far? while the turkish president jeff taper one works or has already spoken, saying that they all declared a state of emergency, they are also mobilizing all of the security forces. the military are being

mobilized along with these emergency services. there's also be now an appeal for international help. and now that gives you an idea of how serious this quite this normally does take some time before they make such appeals. but this came out very, very quickly. we understand the united states have also issued a statement saying that they are obsessing that my beach is crisis and will respond accordingly to the needs of turkey. so i think turkey is looking, comparing one of the biggest emergency operations in recent history and is looking for international support in both efforts. and these efforts are being hampered by appalling weather conditions. up until recently, the country has been escaping a major wind up and now winter struck just days before much of this area is on the heavy snow freezing rain and this is making even more difficult to rescue. those are trapped in numerous cap buildings. as you mentioned earlier,

the quick hit the southern part of the country that's on the border there to syria and lebanon. what can you tell us about the situation in those countries? while we are getting reports from syria's similar reports, what's happening in turkey, the there in the official agencies have said that yes, there are thousands of casualties and many more injures reports of class buildings . this areas just recovering from a case of war and conflict. and now this powerful of quakers struck this, this area as well. also impulse and the a powerful quake with them as well. and even with stuff as far as israel. and this is on the line, the scale of the so correct, not only it side, but also called the fact knowledge has happened to a very shallow level of 10 kilometers which amplifies the power of the quake. dorian, thank you very much for now. our correspondent dorian jones there in the stumble.

well, he was craig, also struck areas scored by serious civil war and populated largely by refugees or internally displaced. people in opposition held northern syria. the spokes person of the syrian civil defense issued the following appeal. many buildings in different cities and villages and north were c, a collapse destroyed by this or not the quick. our themes responded to the all the sites and the buildings and the thing. now, many families, no, are under that. i will, i will, i will, i would have, but i will keep trying to save them, trying to save the people, to save the or the people from on the level with all cavities. but it's, it's very difficult us for us. we need help. we need the international community to do something to help us to support us. not we see it now. it says there. yeah,

we need help from everyone. do it to save our people. let's catch up on a couple of other stories making headlines today. the trial of 47 people accused of subversion has begun in hong kong. the activists are accused of holding unofficial primary elections to stand against pro beijing candidates. they were arrested following the introduction of a sweeping national security law that's for the territory of previously held freedoms. china has accused the u. s. of quote indiscriminate use of force over its decision to shoot down a chinese balloon. the check the u. s. says it was being used for spying. china says it was an unmanned civilian airship, beijing se said the violation of u. s. aerospace was an unexpected, isolated instant allies of ukrainian president valadez zalinski say he's changing his defense minister reports say,
