where exactly was fun? i've learned a lot. our culture history. all their d. w. travel extremely worth a visit. mm. ah, ah ah, this is d, w is coming to live from berlin, a massive earthquake. it's a wide area in turkey and syria. emergency crews are rescuing people from the rubble, but the death toll is rising fast in both countries. amid widespread destruction, turkey has reported deaths in 7 provinces and from syria and appeal to the world.

it's very difficult for us. we need help. we need the international community to do something to help us to support us. the disaster also struck areas scarred by serious civil war hitting the most vulnerable, the wars many thousands of refugees. plus a new record set at the grammys, fiance becomes the most decorated performer in the music awards history. but the album of the year prize goes to another big day. ah. hello m terry martin, thanks for joining 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 ga,

see untapped. it's caused 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 the arb ikea. the impact has been devastating 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 daylight, 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 daughter, broken arm. we'll see what happens to those living on the ground flows of those all the epi center of the quake was in southeast and 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 shore. while ago i spoke with our correspondent dorian jones. in istanbul, he get his 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 border of 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 mounds of rubble. this is an extremely difficult time. this is one of the most powerful of quakes that turkey as, as he took it in decades, it appears that possibly will even support the 1999 of quite that struck in the sample which claimed the lives of 17000 people. so bracing itself, one of the worst this offices country has faced 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 car, 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 of us cities all across this region have been the 350 kilometers from the empty 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 time 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 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 is the crate. 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 assessing that my beach is crisis and will respond accordingly to the needs of turkey. so i think cookie 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 a pulling 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 efforts even more difficult to rescue

those attract and numerous claps. 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? well, we are getting a report from serious similar impulse to what's happening in turkey. the syrian official agencies have said that yes, there are thousands of casualties and many more in just the reports of class buildings. this areas just recovering from a decade of war and conflict. and now this powerful of gray construct this, this area as well. also impulse and see the, the powerful quite with them as well. and even the cells, as far as israel numbers on the lines, the scale of the so correct, not only it size, but also called the size knowledge is happen of 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, they're in a stumble. earthquake also struck areas scored by serious civil war. places populated largely by refugees in opposition held northern syria, the spokes person of the civilian of the syrian civil defense authority issued the following appeal. many buildings in different cities and villages. and no 3 c, i collapse, destroyed by this. are not the quick, our themes respond to that to all of the sites and the buildings, and still now many families know are under that i will. i will, i will keep trying to save them, trying to save the people, to save the people from on the level with all of these. but it's, it's, it's very difficult for us. we need help. we need the international community to do
