3:02 pm
address to the u. k. parliament to landscape making just his 2nd trip abroad since russia invaded to rain nearly one year ago. he thanked britain for backing ukraine since day one of moscow's invasion. and he urged western partners to deliver advanced weapons, including fighter jets, as he braces for a potential russian offensive this spring honorable representatives. so lensky said a victory for ukraine would deter future aggressors, reno, or i shall, will lucy? and we really know the week hurry there, week, or you will change the walls and this will be a change. did the walk has long needed the united kingdom is marching with us towards the most. i think the most important victory of our live time, it will be
3:03 pm
a victory or the wary idea of the war. after we went together, any aggressor doesn't matter, big or small will know what awaits him if he attacks international order. so let's bring and d, w, correspond barragan's mass in london for more bergen tell us more, a historic address, thereby zalinski to you. k lawmakers. what was the highlight for you? a very powerful speech and precedence lensky really managed to strike a balance between on the, on the one hand are defiance and strength, but also humiliate humidity. he spoke about how when he was going to meet prince charles with, was a very humble moment for him. but he also said in ukraine, every air force pilot at the moment is a king. and he definitely knew how to address a british law makers who liked to feel special. and he said that they were really
3:04 pm
standing by with ukraine from day one. and he evoked the references to history and the defeat of naziism. but he also came with something that he wanted. and you have mentioned that he said that ukraine needs fighter jets. and he said, this will be the wings, are that ukraine needs for its freedom and for its peace. that tells more about this trip. we know it is only the 2nd confirmed from by zalinski outside of ukraine since the war began. how was he welcomed? there? he was welcomed very warmly by our prime minister rashid sooner and also by the law makers who gave them standing ovations. they know that president lensky actually puts himself into quite a lot of danger. by traveling it is very, it's very risky for him to leave you crane and he's doing it in order to make sure that there is no waning of western support for ukraine. he really needs to keep
3:05 pm
this coalition alive. this coalition between the western partners where the you k is really one of the most important allies for you, for ukraine, for president lensky. and with that in mind, what else do you think we can expect to see on his visit? or we know that he's going to meet with king charles, but we also know that he's going to visit the troops. ukrainian troops have been trained in the u. k, since 2014 says the british government, they also say that this year they're hoping to train 20000 ukranian soldiers and quite significantly they announce a day that they were also train at jet fighter pilot say the u. k. hasn't said that they're also going to deliver aircraft to ukraine, but they are training the pilots. so this might be quite an, a significant shift in the u. k. 's attitude towards the possible delivery of also
3:06 pm
of aircraft to the ukraine. thank you so much for that. update that the deed of the correspondent bargain mass in london. and for the view from ukraine, let's get straight across to the debris correspond at nick connelly and keith. nick, what has the reaction there been 2 zalinski script, the u. k. well, definitely lots people here think this is long overdue, especially given the u. k. 's role supplying ukraine early on with weapons at a time. well, it's whether european capitals, the least as seen from keith, was still basically planning for a russian victory and didn't have a lot of faith in ukraine's ability to fight this war and say, this announcement of the training for fight pilots is very, very welcome. yesterday we had the german defense minister boys per stores in town, talking about tanks, some of which would only be arriving at the end of $23.00 early $24.00. and people here already basically calculating, factoring all that in and they're thinking further. so this is a very welcome announcement. it's kind of a breaking of a to bu after other leaders, german shouts, lola shot grow. so
3:07 pm
u. s. president joe biden, that basic dismissing the idea of says, sending, sending weapons of that kind so that it's very, very welcome and something that people, i think you were expecting, given the constraints those ties. now does it training i fur fighter jets. but zalinski is also been asking for delivery of fighter jazz. do you think he's going to get that? i mean, ukraine has already received major support from the u. k. in the form of about $2500000000.00 in veterans and equipment. well, obviously it is extraordinarily complex in terms of logistics. this is a lot more complex in terms of the kind of technical and supply chain needs than even tanks. and also the question is, even if they are delivered, how vulnerable will they be to rush attacks will russian ballistic missiles, which unlike cruise missiles are very hard to shoot down, will they be on their way within a matter of hours to destroy those planes? some people here in ukraine, arguing that ukraine should see if it can use polish air bases to attack russian targets in ukraine. they fly back to poland. they say russian plains fly out of
3:08 pm
russia out of bellows, and then get back to safety. we're not allowed to attack them in russian and beller, is we'd be doing the same thing. thing there be a lot of worry in poland across nato. if ukraine were to try and do that. but certainly there is a sense this is now being talked of seriously and you know, every time that the naysayer said this was not possible that this was a red line that it wouldn't happen ukrainians up till now at least have had the last word much get what they wanted, as a voice comes against the backdrop of a fear, new rush and offensive in the spring. how urgent of an issue is the best for president zalinski? this is very, very urgent. there's a real sense of dread here that basically given ukraine success the last couple of months that western allies have taken a break are kind of focusing on other things and not keeping the tempo up. and that basically will take some really painful ukrainian defeats, maybe impossible, other places for the west to kind of wake up and to accelerate those livers, certainly are when talk is of months and maybe years into delivering things. people here just think that outside of ukraine,
3:09 pm
people just don't get the scale of this fact. this conflict is being fought over 1000 kilometers and that hundreds of thousands people are fighting on both sides as tiffany. a sense of urgency and a kind of desperation to try and get that across to ukraine's allies abroad. i think it has always been reporting as our correspondent, nikon and keith. well, more than 11000 people are now known to have been killed in the earthquakes that struck turkey and syria. the death toll is expected to rise as more victims are found in remote areas. the 1st quake struck near the turkish city of gauzy on tap, and the destruction stretches along turkeys, southern border and parts of northern syria. international rescue crews are now helping in the desperate search for survivors. fueled by the hopes of miraculous rescues. like this one you're about to see in the early hours of wednesday morning rescue workers in the target city of other mon found hope under the rubble they had heard voices for robert fulton,
3:10 pm
wilson. oliver bobby will not work for mom york, miss you, who told him, you know, barely a, with the law 3 year old muhammad and later, his mother fatma what pulled to safety another toward law was rescued and got on one mirage. a city close to the earthquakes epi santo out of had been under the debris for 43 hours to submit to audi carmen ball. i was also a michigan michigan, a project with whom he was taken to a hospital in, along with his father who was rescued earlier. some of the wounded survivors from
3:11 pm
around turkey have been flown to his san bull for medical help. the countless, although the field trapped under the debris rescue workers continue to dig and shout out through the biting cold if only in the hope of saving one more life and perhaps another and another. well, let's get the latest from our correspondent julia han. she is reporting from the earthquake zone in turkey. juliet, tell us what you've been seeing their rescue efforts continue. friend takes me here in the city of atlanta as well, where several apartment blocks like the one right behind me have basically collapsed in an instant when the quake struck. this building had 14 stories on being told, and about 100 people were inside when it happened. doesn't have been chilled here
3:12 pm
and they just i've just heard it from over there that they pulled out 2 more dead bodies, but many are still missing. and that is why you're seeing so many people on this giant pile of rubble, they're looking for signs of life. and many of them are not professional rescue workers. they are bowlens. he is a just spoke to a young man who said he's living in and he wanted to help. so he came here and now he is digging the survivors with his bare hands. but at the same time, a very bitter reality is also settling and it's very cold. here we have temperatures below 0 at night the chances of finding people alive of finding signs of live under the rubble dwindling. i should also mention that other areas further towards the syrian border, a much worse affected than others. despite all the destruction. you can see here i'm talking about the provinces of high call. i'm on my god the on tap. and we're
3:13 pm
hearing really apocalyptic stories and getting african lipstick images from those areas. but the, there is a much harder to access. we are trying to get you updates and information from that as well. if trouble allows. but this is the situation right now in many areas, very disparate. and absolutely devastating being behind you. we are also hearing reports that as cold and hunger, that there is growing anger at the slow speed of the turkish governments. response, what have people there been telling you? well, yes, we've seen quite some angry reactions coming from some of the provinces here what people are saying they have received no help at all or help came in too late. they are asking why the military hasn't been mobilized to much. earlier, we've seen an outrage from social media as well with people desperately pleading
3:14 pm
for help sharing the addresses of people still buried under the rubble hoping somebody would help them. and then many people we talk so here of course, asking the question, how did it come to this? how can a building like this just collapse that easily, of course, during earthquakes, buildings collapse, but you can see other buildings in the surroundings here have not collapsed although they are heavily damaged. so people are saying they think that building safety rules have not been followed, not been implemented. the government has not been watching this closely enough and all those other buildings here. all right, now on inhabitants. people don't want to stay there because they are at risk of collapsing. so people now staying either intense that have been set up by the local disaster management authority, or they are sleeping in their cause or power shelter with other people. neighbors, friends here in, i don't know, but everybody is very scared because the risk is not over their author short after
3:15 pm
shops, there are tremors. so the situation continues, that situation carries on, there has already been an international response to, with many countries sending teams to help what kind of assistance have they been able to provide? well, 1st of all, the turkish authorities say they have deployed around a 100000 rescue workers. now add to that the international assistance of countries have pledged help. this is coming in other actually where the infrastructure is still intact, has become a hub from where the rescue and such an aide efforts are being coordinated. now we've met our search and rescue teams from the u. k. from hungry from mexico, even today, some broad, especially trained dog search and rescue dogs, which are considered to be very critical and finding survivors under the rubble. but of course, the overall cost here is just overwhelming and many wonder whether this will be
3:16 pm
enough. but turkey definitely needs all the help it can get people need food, they need shelter, they need electricity, gas basically everything because so, so many people have lost absolutely everything. julia han and i didn't. i turkey for a thank you so much for that update. meanwhile, rescue efforts in neighboring syria are being complicated by the facts of serious 12 year long civil war. the affected area in syria is divided between government controlled territory. and a rebel held enclave where millions were already relying on humanitarian aid. damascus is demanding that international sanctions be dropped, saying they're hindering relief efforts. c w news has this exclusive report. i saw the hussein can barely take his eyes off the rubble. this mound of concrete was his brother's home. he managed to find him in the aftermath of the earthquake,
3:17 pm
but couldn't get him out. love you all wheel nogood. my brother and his young son were under the rubble. man, sorry ma'am. we couldn't reach them. beyond the loca, we didn't know what to do. how long we had support yesterday? maybe we could have saved them, broke on, i could see them to stop. the blood was running down my brother's nose, his son in his arms. we rescued his daughter, but after that it was dark. like so many here saw b as left wondering water. jan doris in rebel held north western syria is one of the washed hick, towns, damage, 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 be that you people here working with primitive tools and there is no heavy equipment in bought and the civil defense teams are working on all the many families earned the bubble
3:18 pm
were doing what we can on michelle alone. and we appeal to people to help us. okay . i mean that should not be, it's adina, locals estimate 60 percent of the tone has been destroyed. the death toll rises every day. attention no turns to helping the homeless. i did not do the thought on a situation is very bad. we need 10 food water, be flat for just a closer look at us. we have no shortage, negative thought valley. this unfolding humanitarian catastrophe. complicated, farther by serious 12 year civil war, western countries reluctant to send 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
3:19 pm
politics aside. piece, building support lives, goodwill on all sides. but you know what you're dealing here with a catastrophe or top of a humanitarian crisis said already existed back in syria. cheers erupt. it is rescue as managed to pluck a whole family from a collapse building. father, daughter and son. something to lift the spirits in dark days. more on the situation in syria. let's get across to haiti. sadie. good deputy syria, director for the humanitarian organization action against hunger. she joins me now from beirut, lebanon id. it's hard to look at the devastation we've seen in that ford edge. what kind of work is more organization able to do to help so
3:20 pm
the earthquake has to be increased the humanitarian needs and therefore also the scale of the response. so action against hunger and other 8 providers are now directing additional efforts to yes, another emergency for an already vulnerable population. we're providing emergency support to people now living in collective shelters because there is an increase in displacement as well. i'm on communities. people are afraid to stay or return home in sierra further collapse of building and many are sleeping in their cars and places of worship or, and collective shelters. so our main focus is on providing emergency relief in the form of food, water, basic items for people who are now displayed. so you're looking at 2 crises in one that can organizations like yours even reach the people who need the help the most right now. yes, so action against hunger and other aid organizations are we have direct access to
3:21 pm
the people that we deliver to, including now the survivors of the earthquake. our teens are present on the ground directly to support survivors of the earthquake, including doing our own needs, assessment and direct implementation of like saving activities. he mentioned the immediate need for food and water, but this of course will be felt for a long time. what do you think the biggest challenges will be months ahead? you're, you're totally right. this is the last in a long series of crises and shocks, of the syrian people have suffered with most recently a cholera outbreak which also saw the current region in northern syria. most heavily hits and so even before the earthquake, the medium to long term needs were very pressing. and the focus will be on providing unhindered access to humanitarian aid, access to basic needs, which, which people were already suffering financially and like the capacity to access. so
3:22 pm
that will be the focus of humanitarian aid at this moment. and also because the, the emergency and syria was already underfunded, action against hunger joined the international community. and the goal for increased funding from, from donors, increased commitment to provides on hinges, humanitarian. and we've also heard that the government in damascus has been demanding that international sanctions. the drop thing that, that is getting in the way of delivering aid has that also been your organization's experience. so as an humanitarian organization, we are bound by the principles of humanity, independence, neutrality, and impartiality. and so to comment on foreign policy is not really our position. but what we can say is that this unhindered humanitarian access that we're talking about includes effective humanitarian exemption to the section in syria. thank you so much for that important update. really appreciate you taking the time. that is
