gathered together afraid of what comes next. as aftershocks continued to be felt throughout the region. terry shells reporting their or 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 fading exhausted. cemetary workers are carrying out mass burials of those killed prior chance from mass burial sites. and syria after destruction struck its porter with turkey, their sadness, of course. but there's physical and mental exhaustion. until comes to the 5 minutes we burned bodies of 4 or 5 people died in the earthquake. it's the marine, but we haven't stopped since the morning still la la. we buried more than 50 bodies . and yesterday we buried around 85 people in the late home. the missing are now fear dead. there are glimmers of hope as the syrian air bred crescent work day and

sake of conflict, gets us nowhere. that's always been my vision of our country and i know it's many of yours to restore the shore. was nice to rebuild the backbone of america. america is middle class and united country. we been sent her to finish the job in my view. all right, well it's crossed out to dw correspondent katarina. she moy, who's in washington. i cut it in a great to see you. so president biden clearly calling on bipartisanship at a time of deep divisions in the u. s. and the very different looking congress to this time last year. so how difficult is that gonna be going forward? very difficult about it. other republicans, as you know, have a razor, a say majority in the house of representatives. and the far right congress, men and congress, women and congress are all about blocking everything that the democrats proposed. this is also one of the reasons why president abiding jokes at the beginning of

this peach. by addressing the current president of the house of representatives, republican kevin mccarthy ad by saying, i don't want to ruin your reputation, but i look forward to working with you. so clearly a message that he knows that mccarthy has a repeated reputation to, to save. and it's not working with democrats, but he said, i am looking forward to working with you. katarina, the economy played a central role in his address. i'm going to come back and speak to you in a 2nd, but let's listen to the president speak about that topic. we're going to buy america by tonight and as a new standards require all construction materials used in fertilizer infrastructure projects to be made in america.

addressing specially the blue collar workers and his peach by saying made in america, america 1st. that was almost his message. and he said that he created 12 millions 1000000 new jobs into years, more than any other president in 4 years. and that is indeed true by raw numbers, but a by percentage of the job growth in president biden's 1st 2 years is still behind that of his predecessors in their full terms, but also stress, the dignity of work saying a job is about way more than just a paycheck, he said it's about respect about value in society. so despite his positive figures and the latest polls, as you just mentioned, are showing that americans remain upset about the how you inflation in the country . they are worried about the economy here in the united states. and biden is, of course, trying to convince, particularly that the workers without

a college degree, that the economy is actually better than they are feeling catalina briefly, if you could. he also mentioned the climate crisis. he also talked about a tax on bill you. there's tell us a little bit more about that. yes he did. he mentioned the climate crisis and a potential tax on billionaires that he's planning to get through congress. his speech is clearly focused on blue collar workers, and this is going to be the centerpiece of the next 2 years in his administration and of the potential bite and re election campaign. and he is going to be spending probably the next month, cutting ribbons for new construction projects funded by his administration. and that's also what we have been hearing and his speech today. thank you, katerina katerina, she, moya, in washington. a consortium of 3 european countries is to supply ukraine with at least $100.00 bottle tanks. the german defense
