9:05 pm
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 of finding signs of live under the rubble are dwindling. i should also mention that other areas further towards the syrian border, a much worse affected than ada. despite all the destruction you can see here i'm talking about the provinces of hotties, common morocco got the on tip. and we're hearing really apocalyptic stories and getting africa elliptic 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 disparate. that was d w's,
9:06 pm
julia han, d w's. terry shoulds. she is in turkey's southern port of his skin. don't wear a fire triggered by the earthquake has he gulped hundreds of shipping containers. we didn't come here to night to the port of this kinda room, expecting to report on a new fire. we came to track cleanup operations. after authority said they had extinguished the fire that broke out after the earthquakes on monday, but in fact, already 30 minutes outside of town, you could see thick black smoke filling the air. the highways were also choked as, as emergency vehicles. fire engines tried to get past all of the people on the roads to get here to the scene. now what we believe happened is that containers that had been burning since monday must have re ignited with some kind of oil product. given the big black nature of the smoke and i again, there are emergency vehicles arriving constantly here. coming to try to put out
9:07 pm
this fire. all of this just the latest blow to hut i province, which is already one of those worst hit by mondays quakes. it was dw terry sholtes, every reporting from southern turkey rescue efforts in neighboring syria. they are being complicated by that countries 12 year long civil war. before the quake, millions of people were already relying on humanitarian aid. damascus is now demanding that international sanctions be dropped, saying that they are hindering relief efforts. to 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 asked quake, but couldn't get him out. la la la hoyle, nogood, my brother and his young son were under the bubble men, so remember we couldn't reach them. beyond the locust,
9:08 pm
we don't know what to do. they'll call 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 with his son in his arms. we rescued his daughter, but after that it was dark. like so many here. salvi is left wondering water. jan doris in rebel held north. western syria is one of the washed hit towns. damaged roads, have hampered, rescue and recovery efforts. making it challenging to bring in heavy machinery. mazata zel lombardo, madam. no. we haven't slept since yesterday that better. yeah, people here working with primitive tools, there's no heavy equipment to help them bought in the civil defense. teams are working club. the many families are into the rubble. we're doing what we can't i, michelle alone, and we appeal to people to help us. okay. i mean, nationality, it's adena, locals. estimate 60 percent of the tone has been destroyed. the death toll rises
9:09 pm
everyday. attention now turns to helping the homeless. i did not give a thought on our situation is very bad. we need 10 food water, dr. b flat for just our clothes. look at us up. we have notion on selective thought . arnie. 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 violation they seemed to the un has called on the international community to put politics aside, piece building support, it is goodwill on all sides. but you know, you're dealing here with a catastrophe on top of
9:10 pm
a humanitarian crisis that already existed back in syria. she is a wrapped, it is rescue as managed to pluck a whole family from a collapse building. father, dalton and son, something to lift the spirits in donkeys. well, there has been a truly global response to this earthquake disaster countries around the world offering help to turkey and to syria. all of the countries that are shaded in dark grey at pledged aid, most of it to turkey, the european union, the united states, china and india are all sydney rescue workers and equipment. ukraine says that it wants to help its friends in turkey, while russia is assisting its allied syria where moscow also has troops, station, among neighbors in the region, greece and israel have sent rescue teams to turkey despite rocky relations. in
9:11 pm
recent years, israel has also approved humanitarian aid for syria, neighboring lebanon, jordan and iraq, as well as the palestinian authority, are all pledging emergency supplies for both turkey and syria. but more now i'm joined by okay, bellman the media spokesperson for saved the children of the syria response office . he is currently in the turkish city of ghazi and tech. ok is good to have you with us tonight we. we've come together the talk here during a very difficult time. i know tell us what your organization's a being able to do right now. well, thank you for having me. and i think the, the introduction so far of the earthquake in the aftermath on the program is it gives a really good overview of the current priority is to really focus
9:12 pm
on the rescue to search and rescue efforts that are ongoing. we still saw today, examples of children being pulled out alive from under the rubble. that's amazing. i think it speaks to the to courage of people that are trying to do both to volunteers in the professional teams from our sides. we're trying to supports the people that have lost their homes as best we can on both sides of the board of both in turkey and also in northwest syria. i just today and i am arriving here and we saw people in the streets late at nights, children huddled around fires, whole family, sleeping in cars, people afraid to go back into their homes. it's quite a desperate situation. there are still aftershocks which make people very afraid and we're trying to provide people with sheltering so tense mattresses and ready
9:13 pm
to ready to eat foods just today. and i, we're also trying to support a number of people that are in a center there in north for syria. we deliver it to see hundreds of meals today through one of our partner organizations there. so we're trying to do what we can. ok, if you could let me ask you to we, we just spoke with someone from the white helmets and i was asking about the ability to get in the aid from turkey into northern syria. and he told us that the regime of barsha, our thought is demanding that it distribute any aid, and that it's stealing that aid. what are you encountering in northern syria? me? how are you able to get help to these people? it's, it's a difficult question. we've seen, you know,
9:14 pm
different reports emerge over the past couple of days about the status of a de border crossing, which is the only a border crossing that the un security council has mandated for humanitarian response. and we don't work directly in the sites and norway, syria, we, we do data through a number of foreign organizations. what i, what i can tell you is that's the situation in norcross area where we hearing from those partner organizations is very, very severe. and i think that doesn't come out as strongly. yes. because of the conditions in that area it's, it's an area that's been in at war, you know, for the past 12 years, people be living through conflicts and, and i don't think we see we're, we're yet to see did true scale of his emergency. also a, not my syria emerge. and, and i'm, i'm very worried about the situation there right now. oh, i mean, you know, that's a very so bring assessment that, that you give the situation and
9:15 pm
a realistic one. and i'm wondering if we look into the future. 4 weeks from now, months from now. what are these communities, what are they going to need and, and i'm thinking especially of the children who have survived this catastrophe. yeah, i think this is a very, again, good and difficult question just today as i was in my house, which is one of the worst effected areas close to the at the center. we saw collapse school and, and that's the school in our children won't be able to go to for the foreseeable future. but i think it's really important that we invest in st. places for children can go now. and we make sure that they can stay together with their families or be reunited if they were separated. and that they can continue to learn in one way or another temporary learning spaces. and to be able to return to
9:16 pm
some form of normality as soon as possible. so it's going to be hard if we see the scale of this disaster at the moment here on the ground, which is truly devastating bugs we need to do our best to try and help these people . well, we certainly do wish you with every wanted save the children all the best and much success, especially in the next few weeks. ok bellman with the shade the children of the syria response office. thank you. thank you. ukrainian president, alma zalinski. he has repeated his appeal for western weapons and an address to the u. k. parliament zelinski is making just his 2nd trip abroad since russia invaded ukraine almost one year ago. today, he thanked britain for backing ukraine since day one of moscow's invasion. that he urged western partners to equip ukraine with fighter jets as ki braces for
9:17 pm
a potential russian offense of this spring. a warm embrace on the tarmac, mr. bradwell place and a rapture supplies at a joint session of the british parliament. ukrainian president bologna new zalinski 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. we know or i shall, will loose. and we, we really know the weak tory, no weekday or you will change the walls. and this will be a change that the walk has long needed. united kingdom is marching with us towards the most. i think the most important victory of our live time.
9:18 pm
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. this is a message symbolized the presentation of a helmet to the u. k. parliament speaker. it belong to one of ukraine's ace fighter pilots. the rising on the helmets ridge, we have freedom, give us wings to protect it. the historic visit comes as ukraine races for a possible new offensive, and har heave and sappers year. it also highlights britain's desire to once again, play a leading role on the world stage. after the united states. it's the largest donor
9:19 pm
of military aid to ukraine, committing 2300000000 pounds since the war began, and pledging to match that this year. zelinski 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. for the great president is said to meet with french president, emanuel micron and german chancellor o. up shoulder in paris to night. i asked our correspondent lisa louis in paris. what we can expect from this meeting? well, president zalinski is obviously hoping for fighter jets. he's on a european tour to ask for at 16 american fighter jets or the mirage. the french build fighters at that, at this very moment, a part of the french army, but will be withdrawn, nor are supposed to be withdrawn from the french army and replaced by raphael fight it. as mind you, european leaders have been rather reluctant to respond to this. we have heard earlier today that the u. k. will train some pilots in air in ukraine,
9:20 pm
ukrainian pilots. but as we understand that european leaders are not likely to provide these, you know, to promise these fighter jets right now. this is supposed to be, or this is likely to be a rather symbolic visit. so the lance is coming here to me, all these leaders and leaders will show that they still continue to support him, that they are on his side in this war against a russia you. there is a lot of symbolism in the decision to go to paris. i'm wondering how important is this visit for the french president? it is rather important, you know, that the french president, in my, my call has been defect him herself as an international leader as a euro pain statesman. and he wants to play a big role. mind you, as a lensky and mike holiday, go back to at least 2019. when my call was already french,
9:21 pm
president lensky was still running for president. and michael, well, come zalinski here in paris, giving him credibility during his campaign. and so they've created a quite strong bond over these past few years and of the, of the past year. my call has been one of the main leaders on the international stage, trying to support zalinski in his fight against russia. even though this has been a rather rocky road as well, because sometimes my call was criticized for as seeming to close to russia for saying, for example, rush i did meet it also secured again to get guarantees to night will be an occasion for him on my call to strengthen his position to say once again that he is really on z lensky side, that he will continue to support him with international aid, with french 8 with money and also to a certain extent, with weapons, even though these weapons are unlikely to include fighter jets. as of now, at least. yeah, that's right. that's the key point as of now w's lisa louis in paris tonight. lisa,
9:22 pm
thank you. and for the view from ukraine, i asked d. w, corresponding to connelly and key about the reaction there to, to let's use trip to the u. k. as well as to peers. well, lots of happy faces can't give people seeing pictures of your resume. not only giving volume is less can audience with king charles, but also picking him up at the airport. something that is not the norm for foreign visitors. that was really a sign of the importance that the british government attaches to this relationship with ukraine. seeing it is one of i guess the few success stories the bridge foreign policy of recent years. i think talk of training for ukrainian pilots is a big deal. that's the kind of 1st step. many hoping that it will be the 1st of many tools getting those jets. but that's can take a fair amount of time. we heard different estimates there of 6 months pilot training, others talking of years to work with the more kind of events it seems like the your
9:23 pm
if i to typhoon ac often is the big question of unit these jets to come. where are they going to be housed, how the new protected from russian missiles and how it all worked as if me a sense that britain has all on played the role of kind of the avant garde in terms of getting other west village than tag along and agree to yet more complex, expensive, and what 3 of the kind of russia says means crossing its red lines. and yet that is a good point there. the role that the u. k has played here these a v, the germans and the french. i mean, it, it worked in getting, you know, western allies to say yes to cindy in battle tanks to ukraine. i'm wondering, is zalinski is he betting that the strategy is also going to work in terms of getting fighter jets delivered to his military i guess, right. now he doesn't have many other options. there's been fair amount of despondency here and keep in recent weeks after we heard joe biden saying no to f sixteens, you had all of shots. that was,
9:24 pm
i guess more to be expected from ukrainian point of view that he would be against the driver those systems. so basically that is the main hope now the brits will go ahead and then later encourage the others to go along with them. those have been a bit, speculation. france, france has a lot of it's weapons industries in government ownership controls. there's an option that if the government wants to help to really put pressure on to actually make things happen without having to go through a commercial operation with shareholders in its own priorities. took their, those mirage fighters that are entirely built in front of fronts, wouldn't have to ask any other countries permission to send them to ukraine. so father has be said that france has been pretty slow to send weapons to ukraine, has sent a lot less even than germany without getting same kind of opprobrium from key for that. so a bit of hope to france will do something, but i think is the main focus of ukraine dependencies, philippe, from the w's be connelly and heave. nick, as always, thank you. other stories now that are making headlines around the world. international investigators say that russian president vladimir putin played an
9:25 pm
active role in the shooting down of malaysian flight image. 17, back in 2014 prosecutor say that they have a strong indication that huge and offered missiles to pro russian rebels. but they also say they do not have evidence that he ordered the attack. the plane was shot down. you may remember by a russian anti aircraft missiles over eastern new cree firefighters in chile are battling wildfires across the center in south of the country. 26 people who died in the fires in recent days, authorities were warning that a new heat wave could further fan the flames. canadian police say that 2 children have been killed after a public bus smashed into a daycare center in montreal. police believe it. the driver crashed the vehicle deliberately, but they say they do not know why. the united states says that china has a global fleet of spy balloons, similar to the one that was shot down by the u. s. air force last week. the white
