happen with these elections. are there declaring the state emergency and an area that is going to be hotly contested in the poles will be controversial. what president heard one insistent, these measures are necessary given huge scale of tabs facing emergency workers. he said that these double earthquake was unprecedented, imposing probably one of the biggest natural disaster challenges of the 100 g republic. so he said, these majors are needed and paid tribute to the speaker, the, the emergency efforts that are going on who sent out are dealing with a process where the conditions, which is a coley compounding the magnitude of the task facing them. dorian jones reporting there were rescue efforts in syria are being hampered by a lack of supplies, including heavy equipment needed to care rubble away. hopes of finding more survivors are faded exhausted. cemetery workers are carrying out mass burials of those killed a prayer chance from mass burial sites and syria after destruction struck its

understand the very real impact that this devastating are thinking hot on that in turkey and in northwest syria. and we're continuing to see the death toll rise. but this is mostly the coming from urban areas and i think what we will get a star shot from is whenever we start to understand the scale and impact and hard to meet in inaccessible areas, especially those areas where syria, even before the current earthquake, this area of syria was extremely difficult to access and it was largely reliant on humanitarian assistance with, you know, challenges with infrastructure from health, water and electricity. and it also has very large populations. i've been trying to stay people who've been displacing their homes multiple times over the 2 of your competence area. let's take a look at some of their stories on the earthquake disaster. turkish authorities are shipping. some of the injured to hospital ambulances carried dozens to a naval vessel headed for the port of merson. 3 and

could be saved still in this time slot. the conditions and the circumstances are difficult. the weather is cold and the destruction is severe. others like new zealand and australia have pledged support. the condolences from the people of new zealand to those. and i chicky, and in syria we, we know a little bit of areas, quakes in new zealand. the significant effect that they can have on people are hearts are with them. and these ellen will also be contributing to the international effort. some international rescue teams have already started to arrive. the task ahead of them is daunting. breski workers and turkey have been digging through the night to find survivors with chicken chicken chicken in an effort made no easier by the biting cold and

rain workers of rushing to find as many people as possible as it has already been a day since the initial earthquake and time may be running out for many who lie beneath the debris. oh, let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. french police are fired tear gas, or protestors riling against planned pension reforms. hundreds of thousands of taken to the streets and pirates and other cities. president emanuel my call wants to raise the retirement age from 62. to 64. north korean leader kim young on has ordered his generals to step of military exercises tensions with neighboring countries. and the united states arising a lavish parade is planned to mark the 75th anniversary of the north korean army. germany and other european countries are to supply ukraine with more than 100 battle tanks. the german defense minister bars pastorius announced the move on

a surprise visit to president vladimir zalinski in keith. the tanks being delivered are the older type. one leopard fighting vehicles or the w correspondent ne conley was with the german defense minister in keith, and he told us how the visit is being received in ukraine. what's important stress here that actually it seems like germany is actually gonna meet its commitments in terms of the more modern tanks. it just the other european countries had been pushing germany to send these tanks and who had busy been suggesting it was berlin that was blocking everything. they. if you read the german press released, it would seem a not capable of basically making good on those promises. if you look at the kind of ukrainian responses, there's definitely a desire to kind of row back from some of the kind of open animosity we saw in previous month to kind of work together better. we also saw a boost, mysterious, and meeting ukrainian soldiers who'd been awarded for various kind of metals for gallantry, who going to be sent to germany to learn to use those german tanks. and he was

definitely a lot more relaxed in that setting than his predecessor ever was. but i think there definitely is a worry here that there isn't just the understanding in germany or in europe as a whole of quite how quickly ukraine needs those tanks. we're expecting a big russian event in the next couple of months. and when you hear about those older tanks being delivered in early 2024, that all sounds pretty scary. and there's a sense here that it may be germany is still not pushing those arms. manufacturers, enough to really deliver faster to ramp up production. and that, you know, it's going to be the same story every time over and over again. ukraine asking ukraine, losing a lot of people on the ground and then receiving equipment a bit. net to slow and it's too small quantities there carnly reporting there. well, here's a reminder of our main story. more than 7000 people are known to have been killed in earthquakes and turkey and syria. the death toll is likely to rise sharply as more victims are found in remote areas. freezing conditions are hovering rescue efforts,
