turkish city of other men found hope under the rubble they had heard voices, voice, robert falconer, wilson. oliver bobby wood rot from on york. miss you who told him a little girl with like a lover. 03 year old muhammad and later, his mother fatma what pulled to safety another toward law was rescued and got him on marsh. a city close to the earthquakes api santo olive had been under the debris for 43 hours to submit your already carmen ball. i because i got a

project with. he was taken to a hospital and along with his father who was rescued earlier. some of the wounded survivors from a round turkey had been flown to his danville for medical help. the countless others of you're trapped under the debris. rescue workers continued to dig and shout out through the biting cold. if only in the hope of saving one more life and perhaps another. and another short while ago i spoke to our correspondent julia han who's in the quake hit zone in our dana turkey. and she gave us this updates. well, what you can see right behind me is what's left of a 14 story apartment building. i was told that about a 100 people inside this building when the 2nd powerful wave truck on monday. and

that'll be $100.00 people more than 40 were killed. that's according to the 14th here and we got to the scene. another or dead body was pulled from the rubble. now there are a couple of sides here in the city of that look like this. but i should mention said, i don't have been significantly less affected than other turkish provinces towards the syrian border, like the and have her call her. i'm on my gosh. and we will get you updates and information from these areas as well. now here and other not be infrastructure remains intact, and the city has become a hum from where the rescue and h s is now being coordinated international assistance as well. we know that dozens of countries have pledged help, and we've just met with search and rescue teams from hungry from mexico, from the u. k. they had specially trained dog with them, search and rescue dogs,

which are considered pretty cold to finding survivors. so these f says continue, desperately, but it is a race against time. it's just been another very cold night here in the region with temperatures below 0 and chances of finding lights under these piles of rubble, and that is the bitter reality dwindle. you mentioned some of the other places that have been affected by these earthquakes. can you give us a sense just of the scale of the impact of this, of these quakes across turkey? well this is a price as a human to cherry and prices, all of a mess to scale. more than 13000000 people across the region happen in 10 out of one. that is an area

larger than mainland portugal. just to give you an idea and looking at the death toll which continues to rise and the number of people injured. this is already one of the largest disasters modern turkey, has ever seen a church authority say they have dispatched more than 60000 breast workers to the region. now add to that all the international aid that pouring in, but the task these work is all facing across the region just seems overwhelming. i mean, i mentioned they're all very hard hit areas in hotel for example and, and, and, and where people say they have received no health at all or help came way too late. several people with no electricity, no food, no water, no gas, no, nothing. and these people feel abandoned by the state authorities. others have taken to social media with death for please for help. they are sharing the address

of the people were so sorry under the rubble. so this is catastrophe, by all means. and the effects of all of the country. you said the people of feeling bad about them. there are reports of growing anger at the slow speed of the turkish government response. is that what i'm telling you? yes, that is what we have been hearing. that is what we have been hearing here on the ground at what we've been hearing on social media as well. that age to many of you too late, i should mention though that offices is extremely difficult. i mean, high wave has been ripped open by the way, but there is criticism that protection military, for example, has been deployed too late. there was also criticism to with the government and then that the government will present ad on

a high priority in the construction sector. in, in the last years and that building safety standards in many cases have not been implemented because they're all structures that have with these tremors. but thousands of building for jeff collapse in an instant. and there are more than $11000.00 buildings. i believe that are for the at risk of collect, say yes, that is for, for causing this fair and fear. many people feel clipping in their cars because they say they're building are just not safe. but it is also causing anger, but they're all certainly also the voice is to say, look, now it's time to 1st get people out from under the rubble rescue. save live. and then later, you know, point the finger and assign blame julia. thank you so much. the update that's d w year, hot reporting from atlanta in turkey. the rescue efforts in neighboring

syria are being complicated by the effects of that country's 12 year civil war. the affected area in syria is divided between government control territory and a rebel held on play where millions, well ready relying on humanitarian aid, damascus is demanding. but international sanctions be dropped, saying they're hindering relief efforts. w news has this exclusive report. i saw the hussein can barely tick his eyes off the rubber. this moaned of concrete was his brother's home. she managed to find him in the aftermath of the earthquake, but couldn't get him out. la la la, la jolla. no good. my brother and his young son were under the rubble man, sorry man, i couldn't reach them. the analog cup. we don't know what to do on the we had support yesterday. maybe we could have saved them walk on. i could see them to stop the blood was running down. my brother's nose was his son in his arms. we rescued

his daughter, but after that it was dark. like so many here saw b is left wondering water. jan doris in rebel held north western syria is one of the washed hick towns. damaged roads have hampered, rescue and recovery efforts, making it challenging to bring in heavy machinery. mazata zel embodiment him no, we haven't slept since yesterday. that medea people here working with primitive tools, there's no heavy equipment to help them bought in the civil defense. teams are working. one of the many families are into the rubble. we're doing what we can't i, michelle alone. and we appeal to people need to help us. okay. i mean, nationality, it's adena, locals. estimate 60 percent of the tone has been destroyed. the death toll rises every day. attention now times to helping the homeless. i did not give a thought on a situation is very bad. we need 10 food water docking,

b flat for just our clothes. look at us up. we have no. she was negative, thought arnie. lock. this unfolding humanitarian catastrophe. complicated, farther by serious 12 year civil war, western countries reluctant to st. help to the regime in damascus. but serious pariah government says aid delivered over the border. is a violation of its sovereignty. without the control of the government, without permission of the government without approval from the government. this is violation. very simple to the un has called on the international community to politics aside. piece building support is goodwill on all sides. but you know, you're dealing here with a catastrophe on top of a humanitarian crisis that already existed back in syria. she is a rock, it is rescue as managed to pluck a whole family from a collapse building. father,

daughter and son. something to lift his spirits in dark days. the joining us now is male. alan de la, who's a volunteer for the white helmets of the civil defense rescue group of pricing in areas outside of government control in syria. he's an id, live in the countries northwest, which was among the worst hit areas is now. thank you so much for your time. can i ask you to describe the current situation for us where you are harbor situation, surgical tragic situation. we are working on more than 100 sites. each size includes 3 or 4 buildings. then the families under the book, we working all what we can. we will work in full cabbage city and we will do

everything we can to see if every fund was our limited tablets and our limited equipment. as you mentioned and you are, we don't have the power to reach every one someone does. yes, we have received many people from the ally. i'm healthy. last of the a guy. i mean it's from with of live life and health. but those who also need medical care needs medical supplies, the hospital to receive them. in each side, we have actually many difficult, it was difficult to believe and shocked at our and after we have this may lead to the collapse of the situation. it's very possible we doing our best we what can get to

a 24 hours non stop working operation are going on to rescue the people. but the league of this acura, illegal what, what we need, we need, we need, we need the support from everywhere. i do, maybe we can serve those who are trapped now on the thought that is male. can i can i ask you you've made very clear that you do not have enough equipment. how are you working? is it mainly using bare hands to, to, to, to try and find people under the rubble we using our primitive a q. so our has everything that we have before when we, we wouldn't respond to bombing during the last years we used

to have a need, we would need that just maybe 5 to 10 have by the big number of sites that include . ready hundreds of labs, the bows on us and we had to and we have to to bring no big number of have to respond to save and to what she said that you are, you are still finding people. and do you have any hope of finding many more survivors? obviously, the clock is ticking. we reducing the time to save and we hope and we have hope that we will save others alive and we will. and as every day we saving people every day we civic gets from a live, you know, and those dark hours don't days, we saving. but are we losing time if you will, if you will,

we will respond to everyone. and we will see if we need help, we need support immediate support, not a week or 2 weeks or 3 weeks. you show the damage and there is it needs international efforts to remove this martin of problem. can i, can i ask you, i believe that you've been working with a white helmets for about 10 years now in that time and you've assisted in more than a 1000 rescue missions. how is this situation different to what you've seen before? it starts with a different when we're back when we sponsor bomb it, maybe response to 23rd, the size of bombing at the same time. but after, after and after the ball or for as we respond to, to more than $100.00 sites across the northwest side. there are many buildings in

the same side towards the difference about us, largest of destruction, and that is very different from bombing. yes, both of us tries. you've been both a both. we lose the lives at the time, but totally different than the bombing. can i ask you to this earthquake is struck a region that was already crippled by 12 years of civil war with the population that quite frankly, must be completely worn down. can you explain or describe people's capacity to cope with something like this on top of everything else? the people here, the or the are already as were the sublist from other parties, a bunch of syria. they had to live in houses, damage it by the farming and now the earth where that was it destroy those buildings. so now we have a big number of families who lost their houses,

have no place to go. some families decided to go to the camps to feel safe. wor, sir, but then the buildings are now those and the big number of that population here, not vis your man. he chose turn the he need, what guess they need supplies, they need why the clinics do, do it to provide 1st ed for them. those injured need, special treatment. maybe they need to open the get them to go to the hospital, go to turkey because we don't have in a hospital you're due to receive everyone. and everyone is mail. abdullah from the white helmets and syria, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us here and d, w ok. just to recap, some of the key figures from the turkey syria, earthquake disaster at this hour so far more than 11000 people are now confirmed dead with more than 40000. others reported injured rescue teams from more than 2

dozen countries have already arrived to help turkish crew search for survivors. one world health organization official estimates that as many as 23000000 people could be affected by the earthquake disaster. now the ukranian president, blood miss zalinski, has arrived in britain. this is his 2nd trip abroad since russia launched its invasion of ukraine nearly a year ago. the lensky is meeting with prime minister richie sumac. he will be addressing parliament and he will meet with you, kate. military chiefs will also be received by king charles at buckingham palace. now the u. k. is one of the biggest military backers of ukraine and has sent to the country, weapons and equipment worth more than $2500000000.00. and for more on this we can bring in the w correspondent,

bergen masses in london berg. this is only the 2nd trip that president lensky has made outside of ukraine in the past year. isn't it? can you tell us how significant mrs. president lansky had addressed the you cope, harlem and before, but that was only via video link and obviously it's very, very risky for him to travel outside the ukraine. so this really shows that it's very important for him to establish this personal connection that he has with western leaders. and the u. k. is one of the biggest backers of the ukraine with military aid, but also psychologically so it's very, very important for him that despite the risk to his personal life and health, he is actually making this trip to the u. k. and we also expecting him to go to brussels as well, but it's not confirmed. okay, so it was a what concrete results can we expect from zalinski, his talks with british prime minister?

well, the british government are saying that they are expanding the military held a to ukraine to it's the military training. that's really important. and that's being announced today. the u. k. government say that this year, they are trading 20000 ukranian soldiers on british soil, and that they want to signal that they are in it for the long term that they want to help ukraine also in years to come. and what's really interesting is that they're expanding this training, so they are this time also training fighter jack pilots. and of course the ukraine has asked for for fighter jets, but to be delivered to the ukraine. so far this hasn't been confirmed yet, but the u. k. is now saying that they are training fighter, jet pilots and also marine and as such, expanding their training for ukrainian soldiers here in the u. k. i did want to ask you about that burger, because as you say, you cranes been asking for fighter jets. this has been denied so far,

but i believe the british defense minister has suggested that that stance could change so. so this announcement that britain will train you crate of ukrainian pilots on nato standards. fighter jets. i mean, it, could this be the stars of the sort of moving in that direction? it could possibly be interpreted as a shift in the west thinking because there is a nervousness to send fighter that jets to the ukraine. so it's very, very contested. now the u. k and partners have relented and that sending battle tanks to the ukraine. that was one big us. but the 2nd one is about the fighter jets. and i think what's interesting is the wording of this statement by downing street. they are saying that they will offer to provide longer range capabilities in order to relieve the pressure on you crazy front line. so they're

not saying we are sending fight to jet, but definitely it sounds like a thinking could be changing. budget nasty w, corresponded in london. thank you so much for that. now we are expecting the german chancellor will show it to address the german parliament atlas. our will be bringing you that speech live. the speech comes a head of a special european summit in brussels. so stay tuned for that coverage of all actual it's his speech. the 1st we're going to have a look at some other stories making news around the world. the daughter of the north korean leader kim jong and has been seen as an event marking the 75th anniversary of the country's army. this was only the 4th time that kim ju, i has made a public appearance. she is believed to be about 10 years old and there is speculation that she might be groomed to become her father's successor. judge b,

u. s. navy has retrieved some of the wreckage of the chinese spy balloon, shut down by a fighter jet above the sea of south carolina. beijing has said it wants it back, but washington plans to have it examined by its secret services. the balloon controversy has soured relations between the 2 countries, landslides, in, for you, have killed 36 people with dozens still reported. missing. villages are beginning to assess. the damage. access by rescue brigades is being hampered by roads blocked by mud and rocks. steady rain for several days triggered the lance lights in gold mining villages in southern peru will bodily. now the u. s. president joe biden has delivered his annual face of the union address. his speech focused on the domestic agenda and delivered a message of unity for america at a time of deep political division in the u. s. biden called on republicans to work with his democratic party to rebuild the economy. mister speaker,

the president of the united states. oh. 6 joe biden, on his way to addressing the nation in his 3rd state of the union speech, with his approval ratings, low, but prevalent, wasted little time talking with legislative achievements, focusing on massive investment in infrastructure and critical industry. a very different president than its predecessor, donald trump, by nevertheless presented his own version of america. first, we need the best infrastructure in the world. folks, you know, we used to be number one in the world. movers. gotcha. we saunter 13 in the world. the united states of america 30. and when we do these projects, again, i get criticizes where magno chooses. we're,

we're going to buy american pilot bio economic protectionism, or it's damaging the international lines of that have gained an important has been author. russia invaded ukraine last february with the conflict guitar to extend into the 2nd year wide and spoke directly to ukraine's ambassador when pledging continued us military support. we're going to stay with you as wanted a taste or nation working for more freedom, more dignity, more more peace, not just in europe, everywhere. he also vow to stand up to the challenge post by china. before i came to office, the story was about how the people's republic of china was a christian, his power and america's failing world. not any more widened with some nouns, if he intends to run for 2nd term. even his own parties,

reservations, about a 2 year old mounting, another bridge, but that did little to mute the applause at the end of a confident pitch of his credentials. as his dw news and his a reminder of our main story to day, international teams are joining turkish crews working to reach survivors of a devastating series of earthquakes. but it is mostly bodies now being pulled from the rubble, the confirmed death toll in turkey, and syria has climbed to more than $11000.00. now we are expecting german chancellor shots to address the german parliament at any moment and we'll be bringing you that speech live. his speech comes ahead of a special european summit in brussels, which he'll be attending, which will focus on the warn ukraine migration and record high inflation. before we listen to the chancellor, we can bring and d, w as chief political correspondent,

nina has a his standing by for us at the german parliament. nina, can you give us a sense of what we can expect from the chance list? speech today, holidays his traditional address ahead of the you summit that's happening in brussels on thursday and on friday this week. and you've said at the topics already. and of course you crane is going to be dominating the discussion. but then there's also talk about migration. we all know that there's a lot of pressure on a lot of you countries to deal with the influx of migrants and refugees. and for years the u has failed to properly reform it's migration system. but then there's also the issue of a european competitiveness when you talk about rising inflation. of course, that's a big issue. and of course the pressure was upped by the u. s. when they announce that a $370000000000.00 a package to boost their own economy and where some european companies are ready at

wondering whether they will suffer disadvantages. and that also led to the trip out to the u. s. by the german economy minister and the french economy, mit in economy minister this week. and can i ask you, what will i shall it's also be commenting on the situation in the the earthquake zone in turkey and syria. we can definitely expect that the german chancellor will, i showed, spoke to turkish president edwin on the phone and again expressed his condolences and assured add one of germany's continuing support for all those people who are suffering in those regions. so it will, our shorts will probably spell out the details of how germany is going to continue . it support the 1st aid organizations left for turkey straight on monday after news broke. and germany also has specialized rescue dogs that are there on the ground helping. now there's a big, gigantic turkish community here in germany. that's also doing private efforts. so yes, definitely to be expected. that of course ukraine will probably dominate the german

chancellor, of course, was under a lot of pressure, wasn't here head of his decision to deliver german leopard tanks to ukraine. has this wave of criticism subsidized now, i mean, especially assario subsided now, especially given birth, and we've just heard that more tags will be, will be delivered to ukraine. is interesting, isn't it all i've sold? did his typical or live shots thing? he kept quiet for weeks and was working to forward to coalition of willing partners that wanted to send tanks to ukraine. but he wouldn't comment on their steel until he had all the specific details. and so he received a lot of criticism because he left people wondering, will he give the green light to countries sending the leper to tanks, those modern tanks that ukraine says in need so desperately on the ground to counter that offensive that everybody is expecting from russ.
