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 untapped, and the destruction stretches along turkey, southern border and parts of northern syria. international rescue crews are now helping in the desperate search for survivors fuel by the hopes of miraculous rescues. like the one you're about to see here. in the early hours of wednesday morning rescue workers in the turkish city of other mon found hope under the rubble they had heard voices for robert falcon wilson. oliver bobby would work for mom york, miss you, who told him, you know, barely a dollar a 3 year old muhammad and later his mother fatma what pulled to

safety another toward law was rescued and got him on my dash. a city close to the earthquakes. i p santo out of, had been under the debris for 43 albums to submit to audi, carmen vaughn, i because i had to go through because all i get a job with he was taken into a hospital and along with his father who was rescued earlier some of the wounded survivors from a round turkey have been flown to his thorn bull for medical help. countless, although as a 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 dw correspondent, you johan is in the earthquake zone in a done a turkey and she earlier told me what has been going on there. oh, rescue efforts continue frantically here in this 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. i had 14 stories i'm being told and about 100 people were inside. when it happened. dozens have been killed here. and they just, i, i've just heard it from over there that they are pulled out. 2 more dead bodies, but many are still missing, and that is why you are seen 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 boland, he is a just spoke to a young man who said he's living in adina. 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 not despite all the destruction. you can see here . i'm talking about the provinces of what i call her amman mirage. god, the on tab, and we're hearing really applica lips shaken stories and getting up a calypso, jake images from those areas. but these areas are much harder to access. we're trying to get you updates and information from there as well. if trouble allows, but this is the situation right now in many areas, very desperate. as you, leon speaking to me earlier from turkey and rescue efforts in neighboring syria,

meanwhile are being complicated by it's 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. he w 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. la la la, la jolla, nogood, my brother and his young son were under the rubble months. i remember we couldn't reach them beyond the local. we don't know what to do. that's all on the we had support yesterday. maybe we could have saved them book on i could see them to stop . the blood was running down my brother's nose with 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 northwestern. syria is one of the washed hit, toned damage. roads have hampered rescue and recovery efforts, making it challenging to bring in heavy machinery. mazata zel nimble. madam no, we haven't slept since yesterday. that medea people here working with primitive tools. there's no heavy equipment to help them bought and the civil defense teams are working. a lot 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 others. okay. i mean, nationality, it's adena, locals, estimate 60 percent of the tone has been destroyed. the death toll rises everyday. attention now turns to helping the homeless. i did not give a thought on a situation is very bad. we need 10 food i want on dr. b flat for just our clothes

. look at us up, we have no shame on selective thought. bonnie: this unfolding humanitarian catastrophe. complicated farther by serious 12 year civil war, western countries reluctant to sent 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. recent to the un has called on the international community to politics. a site piece, building support lives, goodwill on all sides. but you know what you're dealing here with a catastrophe on top of a humanitarian crisis said already existed. i'm back in syria. cheers erupted as rescuers managed to pluck a whole family from a collapse building. father,

daughter and son, something to lift the spirits in dark days as to whether news and ukrainian president while it emer zalinski has repeated his appeal for western weapons in an address to the u. k. parliament landscape, making just his 2nd trip abroad since russia invaded ukraine. nearly a year ago, he thanked britain for backing ukraine since day one of moscow's invasion. and he urged western partners to equip ukraine with fighter jets as keep braces for a potential russian offensive as spring a warm embrace. on the tarmac, bishop reco place and a rapture supplies at a joint session of the british parliament, ukrainian president bologna, marizza lensky, was the man of the our doing with summit called nearly impossible. unifying the

united kingdom's contentious political parties. he thank the u. k. in its former prime minister boards, johnson for immediately supporting the fight against russian aggression renaud or i shall. will lucy and we really know that week, tory their week there you will change the walls and this will be a change. did the walk has long needed? i is marching ah tours the most. i think the most important victory of our live time. thanks and praise were quickly followed by please to provide ukraine with air power since day one. and i appeal to you, and the walt was simple, and yet most important wars combat aircrafts for ukraine winks for free. them used to get the message sim allies in the presentation of

a helmet to the u. k. parliament speaker. it belong to one of ukraine's a spider. pilots. the rising on the helmets ridge, we have freedom, give us wings to protect it. the historic visit comes as ukraine, braces for a possible new offensive, and har heave ends up rosier. it also highlights britain's desire to once again, play a leading role on the world stage. after the united states is the largest donor military aid to ukraine, committing roughly 3000000000 pounds since the war began and platting to match that this year. zalinski is expected to continue his please to european leaders. some in person for air support he believes will bring the war to a quick end. earlier i spoke to jeff dw correspondence nick collie and keith

about the reaction in ukraine. tis the landscape trip to the u. k, well, definitely law super here thing. this is long overdue, especially given the you case 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 fighter pilots is very, very welcome. yesterday we had the german defense minister boys, 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 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 saw through. so 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 to gather strength, those ties. now this is it training i fur fighter jets,

but zalinski is also been asking for delivery of fighter jets. do you think he's going to get that? i mean, ukraine has already received a 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're fly back to poland. they say russian plains, fly out of russia, arabella, and then get back to safety. we're not allowed to attack them in russian bellows. we'd be doing the same thing. thing there be a lot of worry in poland across nater, 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 naysayers 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 must get what they wanted. as a voice comes against the backdrop of a fear, new rush, an offensive in the spring. how urgent of an issue is the best for president lansky? this is very, very urgent. there's a real sense of dread here that basically given ukraine's 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 it'll take some really painful ukrainian defeats, maybe impossible, other places for the west to kind of wake up and to accelerate those liver is certainly a when talk is of months and maybe years in terms delivering things. people here just think that outside of ukraine, people just don't get the scale. this the fact this conflict was being fought over 1000 kilometers and that hundreds of thousands people are fighting on both sides as if me, 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 that our correspondent nick on in case touching his update at this hour before we go, let's get a reminder of our top story today. international teams are joining turkish crews working to reach survivors of a devastating series of earthquakes. the confirmed death toll in turkey and syria has climbed to more than 11000 people. thanks so much for watching. i'm player richardson. take care and bye for now. with leonardo da vinci's, mysterious masterpiece. it is perhaps the greatest leonardo masterpiece in the collection of the louvre. it is the virgin of the rocks. was there another symbolic meaning to this beautiful painting that.
