ah. hello, i'm claire richardson by one. welcome to the show. 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 ghazi, untapped, 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 hope of miraculous rescues. like the 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. so to milwaukee. oliver bobby with the one you're gonna see who

told him? well, with my luck, a 3 year old muhammad and later, his mother fatma what pulled to safety another toward law was rescued and got him on mirage. a city close to the earthquakes api santo, otto had been under the debris for 43 hours to submit to audi, carmen. i hope the girl saw this. you can get to go through because all i get a job with, he was taken to a hospital, along with his father who was rescued earlier. some of the wounded survivors from a round turkey had been flown to his thorn bull for medical help. countless,

although as a field 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 t w's correspondent johan is in the earthquake zone in a donna turkey. and she told me earlier, what has been happening there? oh, rescue efforts continue, friend take lee here in the city of adina as well where several apartment blocks like the one right behind me have basically collapsed in an instant when the quake struck at this building had 14 stories on being told. and about 100 people were inside when it happened. dozens have been killed here. and they just, i just heard it from over there that they pulled out 2 more dead bodies, but many are still missing. and that is why you are seeing so many people on this

giant pile of rubble. they are looking for signs of life and many of them are not professional rescue work as they are bullen tears. i just spoke to a young man who said he's living in our donna. he wanted to help. so he came here and now he is digging for survivors with his bare hands. but at the same time, a very bitter reality is also settling in it's very cold. here we have temperatures below 0 at night, the chances of finding people alive, finding signs of live under the rubble or dwindling. i should also mention that other areas further towards the syrian border, i'm much worse affected than ada, despite all the destruction you can see here i'm talking about the provinces of hot i car am on morocco. got the on tab and we are hearing re, the upper lip take stories and getting africa lipstick, images from those areas. but the, there is a much harder to access. we 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. 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 outrage on social media as well with people desperately pleading 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 earthquake buildings collapse, but you can see other buildings in the surroundings here have not collapse, 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 and shelter with other people. neighbors, friends here in, i don't know, but everybody is very scared because the risk is not over there. off the shore. aftershocks, there are tremors. so the situation continues, as 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 work. and now add to that the international assistance. dozens of countries have pledged help. this is coming in. i don't actually where the infrastructure is still intact, has become a hub from where rescue and search and aid effort of 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 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, rest to efforts in neighboring syria are being complicated by the effects of that countries 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 bear hindering relief efforts. you news has this exclusive report. salvi hussein can barely take his eyes off the rubble. this moaned of concrete was his brother's home. he managed to find him in the aftermath of the earthquake, but couldn't get him out. law you all wheel nogood. my brother and his young son were under the rubble months. i remember i couldn't reach them. the analog gov. we didn't know what to do. that's on, on the we had support yesterday. maybe we could have saved them 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 wandering water. jan doris in rebel held northwestern. 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 m. no, we haven't slept since yesterday that battalion people here working with primitive tools and there is no have 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 i, michelle alone, and we appeal to people to help others. luckily, i mean, nationality, it's ana, locals, estimate 60 percent of the tone has been destroyed. the death toll rises everyday. attention now turns to helping the homeless. i didn't do the thought on

a situation is very bad. we need 10 food last. what are the flat for just a closer look at us up. we have no, she was negative, thought bonnie: this unfolding humanitarian catastrophe. complicated, farther by serious 12 years civil war, western countries reluctant to st. help to the regime in damascus. but serious pariah government says 8, 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. peace building, support, lose 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 erupted as

rescue as managed to pluck a whole family from a collapse building. father, daughter and son. something to lift the spirits in dark days. oh id acetic as deputy syria director for the humanitarian organization action against hunger. she told me earlier more about the organizations work and how it has changed since the earthquakes. so the earthquake has significant, lee 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. and we're providing emergency support to people. now, living in collective shelters because there is an increase in displacement as well

among 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 collective shelters. so our main focus is on providing emergency relief in the form of food, water, basic items for people who are now. 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 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 us. 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 less capacity to access. so 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 unhindered, humanitarian. and we've also heard that the government in damascus has been demanding that international thanks can be dropped,

saying that that is getting in the way of delivering aid has that also been your organizations 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 heidi from action against hunger. so let's take a closer look at some of the key figures from the earthquake disaster in turkey and syria at this hour. so far more than 11000 people are confirmed dead. with more than 40000 others reported injured rescue teams for more than 2 dozen countries have already arrived as help turkish cruise search for survivors and one world

health organization. official estimates that as many as 23000000 people could be affected by the disaster. and here in berlin, chancellor, all our fault has reaffirmed germany solidarity with turkey. after the quake shoals said, more german rescue teams were on the way to the disastrous sound. as he and lawmakers held a minute's silence for the victims in turkey and syria. a long way from the earthquake devastation of turkey and syria here in germany. the minds of many are with the thousands of victims flags over the buddhist tug at half mast as relief efforts from around the world ran pop in a government speech to lawmakers, chancellor, olaf sholtes promised rapid german assistance and again expressed his condolences. visitor shut up, we are shocked by the many dead and injured by so much suffering and destruction of another pressing topic, not just for germany, but it's e. u partners rushes war in ukraine. olaf schoultz told lawmakers that new

sanctions targeting moscow were on the way, emphasizing the use unity on this. this looks really occur in the debate. that's why we support ukraine's defense of its sovereignty and territorial integrity against russia's war of aggression before, as long as it takes off designs, all european union will further increase sanctions against russia on the anniversary of the invasion. this is a clear sign to put in that is imperialist plans will not be successful as to simply germany and its allies have promised to arm ukraine with heavy weapons like tanks and armored vehicles as troops battle and intense russian assault in the east . for some weeks now, sholtes as critics like germany's opposition have said that he was far too slow in promising these weapons to give with it didn't last when his merch limit in an island. i only hope with all of you to day ladies and gentlemen,

that one day we will not have to say with hindsight, it was too little and it was too late when possible to fit. the blender stock debate was a precursor to a special you summit on thursday. olaf sholtes hits to brussels, where he and fellow leaders will debate hot button issues like ukraine migration and the use economic situation. well, in address it to the u. k. parliament ukrainian president vladimir zalinski has repeated his appeal for more western weapons. cholenski is making just his 2nd trip abroad since russia invaded ukraine nearly one year ago. he thanked britain for back in ukraine since day, one of moscow's invasion, and urged western partners to deliver advanced weapons, including fighter jets, if, as cave braces for a potential russian offensive this spring. and the honorable rubric as a lens, he said a victory for ukraine would deter future aggressors. we know russia will

loose and we really know the week, tory there weekend. you will change the walls. and this will be a change that 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 a victory or the wary idea of the war. after we win together, any aggressor doesn't matter. biggest mall will know what awaits him if he attacks international order or did other correspondence bug at mass is in london and i spoke to her earlier about to lance, his historic address to you. k lawmakers, a very powerful speech and precedence lensky really managed to strike a balance between on the, on the one hand, defiance and strength,

but also humiliate humidity use fake about how when he was going to meet prince charles or 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 lawmakers who liked to feel special. and he said that they were really 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 rishi sooner and also by the law makers who gave them standing ovations. they know that president savanski 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 this coalition alive as our coalition between the west and 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? well, 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 helping 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. bart, they are training the pilots. so this might be quite an a significant shift in the u. k. is attitude towards the possible delivery of warsaw of aircraft to the ukraine. thank you so much for that. update that the dw correspondence burger master in london and for the view from ukraine, i asked either be a correspondent, nick connelly and keith about the reaction there to zalinski is trip to the u. k. well, definitely a lot cheaper here. thing, this is long overdue, especially given the u. k. is roll supply ukraine early on with weapons at a time where lots of other european capitals released as seen from kia, were still basically planning for a russian victory and didn't have a lot of faith in ukraine's ability to fight this war. and also this announcement

of the training for fighter pilots is very, very welcome. yesterday we had the german defense minister, both pastors 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, in their thinking further to 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 u. s. president joe biden, at basic dismissing the idea of says, sending, sending weapons that coins, that it's very, very welcome and something that people i think you were expecting, given the car strengths, those ties that was did other correspond at nick connelly and keep speaking to me earlier and meanwhile, international investigators have concluded that russian president vladimir putin played an active role in the shooting down of malaysian fight mh 17. in 2014. in an update to de prosecutors said they had a quote, strong indications that putin offered missiles to pro russian rebels. i said they did not have evidence that he ordered the attack. the plane was shot down by

a russian anti aircraft missile over eastern ukraine, killing all passengers on board. russia has denied any involvement. for more news on today's prob ice voted, he got the jack parrot and brussels will they tell us essentially that there is a strong indication, was the quote, the vladimir putin was personally aware. i'm responsible and made the decision to send the buck tele missiles that went to the people in the next republic, separatists that inevitably ended up shooting, dine, the m 817 plane that was flying from amsterdam to kuala lumpur. obviously, it sadly, never made it there. they said that essentially due to phone recordings, there are very strong indications that it was flooded. putin himself. that in fact, according to the intercept of phone recordings that actually the delivery of those weapons systems was delayed because vladimir putin was in france with western

leaders for a commemoration of the d day of the 2nd world war. and the actually that they delayed the sending of the weapons until after he had returned to moscow. after that night, the investigation here ends that's been suspended after this broad putin enjoys, had of state immunity and therefore they cannot prosecute him as part of this investigation. the joint team has worked for many, many years over this. and as you said, moscow stringently denies any involvement in the shooting down of that plane. but that must be a bitter pill to swallow. dash prosecutor saying i put in was directly involved, but this investigation has reached its limit. is it, is it truly that there won't be any repercussions that is exactly almost the wording of what the dutch prime minister mot router said. he called this a bitter disappointment for the family of the loved ones who were killed in this, in the shooting down of m 81796 of the 298 people. would dutch

citizens. he said that the investigations will resume if there are new developments, but at the moment he understood that they needed to stop without any new information or new evidence. he did say that his government will not stop to try and establish justice over this. 3 people were convicted of the crimes of shooting down the plain in abstention. last year. this is kind of the end of the investigation now. and i just briefly before i let you go, what kind of official reaction can we expect to this? well, what's really interesting here is the context of the, the war. now obviously this was 2014 when that was shot down in the annexation of crimea. but notice the full scale of invade evasion of ukraine a year ago. there are no attempts, especially the european union powers, to set up a special tribunal to try for the crime of aggression that would potentially involve the russian president of having to face justice as they see it. that's a long way off. it would require un security council approval. russia is obviously

a permanent member of that. but that's what they're trying to do now to, to make this to give these tribunals in the hague a little bit more teeth. thank you so much for that update. that is a jack parrot for us in brussels. you're watching the w news coming up next. indeed of the news asia pakistan's economy on the break. prices of food staples are skyrocketing and the government solution may pro long the pain that more with the brush better g, coming up after a short break. stay tuned and thanks for watching ah ah, with
