will show you how climate change or mental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can all make a difference. knowledge gross them sharing downloaded now feel free with. ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, more than 21000 killed in the earthquakes in turkey and syria rescue as continue to pull people alive from the rubble defying the odds for 4 days after the catastrophic earthquakes. hopes of finding survivors all slowly beginning to fade.

also on the program, we meet expectant mothers in ukraine, determined to give birth in the capital cleave despite russia's war of aggression, and even a made fresh air rates across the country today. ah, my, my new campus mckennan, welcome to the program. teams are still managing to rescue people trapped by the devastating earthquakes in turkey and syria. but for days on hopes of finding many more survivors alive are now fading more than 21000 people have been killed. the has a province in the south of turkey was one of the regions hardest hit by the tremors, and has become a focus point for rescue efforts. several people there were say, as

a night, hold from the rubble and turkey is devastated her tie province after nearly 90 hours. this little boy is fortunate to be alive. oh, exhausted, rescues, have been working non stop for days now. throughout the disaster zone. health has been coming in from all around the world. this ukrainian team was dispatched by keith despite the fighting back home journal threats. earth were attack, his colleagues was surprised because of the war in our country. but we believe that we have to how that's the nature of mutual aid, while there's no other way to do it. the more wing shamaya wall rescue as from turkey and further afield, aunt giving up the more time passes the lower the chances of finding more survivors . freezing temperatures are only making matters worse.

thousands of bodies have already been recovered and the death toll is expected to rise even further. in many areas, there's frustration with a lack of government health these, these we is civilian support these people because i am not a crane. i can't lift these concrete blocks. i'm a mother, but my heart can only bear so much pain. no one's listening. where's the army? where's the stays? where is the unity? president irwin defended his government's response as he visited the disaster area and promised to rebuild destroyed homes within a year. with thousands of buildings flattened and countless more damaged and the cost of reconstruction expected to run into billions of euros. it's unclear how achievable this pledge may be. while the prospect to rebuilding

may offer hope to the 100000 left homeless in midwinter. for now, the focus for many remains the increasingly desperate search for survivors. for more we can cross to d, w corresponding better both who is in the turkish city of man. but who can you tell us more about what's happening, where you are right now? to them and it's just one on the telemetry away from the 1st and the jason is not so good. as you can see, many rescue voters are trying their best to achieve the goals. they're going to read through people. but there are many building pulled up. so nothing to read, all of them. that is read all of them that are rebel. as you can see, there are people that people writing and they have problems communicating their

limited or soul and soul. so you know them and everyone is like in iran is having problem. maybe they are trying to reach the rebels or if they survive and they are in a cold bed or can you tell us what it is that is most needed at this point? what people need right now? sure sense it is very affected by the big and most of them are really cold is of interest. and because of the winter. so the times is the most needed thing in the city. and it's also surely advance because if you just said that it's not going to be fired, it should get bombs. that's the 1st point. and again,

the cold people need to be there. and those people are criticizing the government for not moving fast enough to what extent is government a i'm support helping those in need right now. sure. here is the 3rd. so and the later, because after the, after the 2nd been the restart diver more volunteer people at the time. but after some ours government overseas birth rate at govern restart and they vote in the side so many times like to dump more competitive 1st. they this sense at the beginning, like very the people that are the people going to risk us. these are us so many times. another thing, as i said, there's a problem in many to be so people are basing for

time from government at least reach one place if they go they. okay. he w correspondent, best to both cook. thank you so much for that. okay, we're going to take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. today. us officials have a release. the 1st images of agents recovering the remains of a chinese balloon shot down last week. the u. s. as the balloon was part of a major surveillance program targeting more than 40 countries, china and 5th, it was a civilian aircraft, demonstrators of class with police in peru, as anti government protests. and to the 3rd month, the unrest was triggered by the detention of former president pedro castillo protests as a demanding his release. and the resignation of the new president deena battiata castillo, was arrested in december after attempting to dissolve parliament and ruled by

decree. the ukrainian official say russia has targeted the country's energy and infrastructure in a series of drone and missile strikes. the attacks on friday morning triggered air raid sirens across ukraine, and residents have been urged to take shelter in cities, including the capital. keep authority. say that in the japanese your region, at least 17 projectiles hit within one hour. moscow appears to be stepping up its attacks in ukraine's south and in the east as cross straight to cave, where dw special correspondent abraham is standing by for us, i a, you and your team, i know also headed to a shelter earlier. can you tell us what happened and what the situation is now? yes, in the early hours of today, we are woken up by the sounds of an air raid sirens here over

a key. and we then had to move to a shelter temporarily. as a, you know, resident across the city have been advised. we also heard sounds short of these plopping sounds in the air. now that's usually assign, anya, that rockets or missiles have been intercepted above the city that we're heading to a target. it's a residence here. now things have calmed down slightly. that's why we're able to join you from our usual spot here. but i must say, what was striking is just how, how little panic there was on the streets here and key of as we were heading to the shelter this morning, a residence more or less were going on with their lives as they would any other day . and on the one hand, that's a sign of defiance, i think that they, you know, they want to show that they're not afraid of this, of this russian invasion. but on the other hand, it's a sad sort of side effect of this war. just how used to these conditions civilians

are here in the city. yeah. ukrainian officials a has put the whole country on a la now. the asked strikes and what are you hearing from other parts of ukraine? so over night and in the early hours, the parts of the country that have come under particular a heavy attack have been towns and cities in the east were talking about places like her keep her son that you know, her son are, are our viewers were, remember, that was the region in the east that was under russian occupation from march till november. it was then liberated by ukrainian forces and has since then come under relentless attack by the russians were now approaching the one year anniversary of this invasion, february 24th. and russia is really desperate if you will, after a year, you know, after, at the beginning of the word, they were expecting that this entire country would fall within a matter of weeks to show some kind of power in with these air rates. on the one hand, on the other hand, this of course,

this is just the morning after ukrainian presidency. lensky was given a very warm reception by you leaders in brussels, where he is again renewed, his calls for fighter jets and more weapons. and it seems that that discussion is, is, is beginning. and so this definitely falls into, you know, the pattern of russia trying to send a message to ukraine and, and the west. yeah, thanks so much for that. let's d w's aver him, reporting from keith. now at the beginning of the russian invasion, ukrainian hospitals were not sped from russian shelling and some have now prepared themselves in case that targeted. again, abraham who we just spoke to visited the hospital in cave that has repurposed a storage basement as a maternity ward. and she met with women who are preparing to deliver that children in the middle of a war sneeze. gina cool. it spends a lot of her day waiting,

waiting to hear from her husband maxime, who volunteered to fight putin's army on the eastern front. internet's and she's waiting for their 2nd child, a girl to arrive. oh, just a minute, but with the we talk about family and things at home as well as the suddenness came, he feels that he is abandon us. but i tell him not to worry what i tell him, he is just doing his duty. there are plenty of reasons to worry. russian shells have hit ukraine's maternity wards before in this war. like these haunting images from maria pole in the early phase of the invasion show. yet jana refuses to have her baby anywhere else but key of some of which have come from the beginning of the war. i never once thought about leaving ukraine, lily with levity, march, it was out. it is very hard for me to consider that question. even though i have an 8 year old daughter, i still couldn't leave. i didn't want her to see the war,

but i feel calmer here and i want to see how life is like in our country. i want to be close by with the quote. more moms to be, are choosing to have their children in ukraine despite the risks, says one doctor at this hospital in western cave. israel during the 1st 3 months of the war, natalia coach must saw a drop in the number of patients a year into the fighting. things are slowly returning to normal, but now her job is about much more than just delivering babies. love will look like a yankee, yes, we have seen patients with more complications during pregnancy or for now with it even though they have complications related to birth and enormous stress. bringing alagood on behalf of we worked with psychologists and our doctors also became psychologist themselves. hm. at albums, liam, re send me my the k bullets, the volume, the whole. hm. doctor, coachman, her colleagues turned this basement used for storage into

a delivery ward under fire, a safe place to deliver babies, even if the hospitalist targeted. it's one of the reasons why renata and konstantin colas nicole have chosen to have their 1st child timothy. here he was born just a few hours ago. the collection of coughs fled from to netscape eastern ukraine. a region that seen fighting between russian and ukrainian forces since 2014, they ordered us vehicle. i have already left my home once. i do not want to go through that again visually and where to run to poland. we do not have a home there. we do not speak the language, it was hard enough getting settled in key if you'd them. renewable origins is lost as of hugh. despite the war. both renata antony, gina, are optimistic about the future of the country. they're bringing their children into oil. they did of that. i believe that we will rebuild everything. i believe

that ukrainians will be happy again. we will draw the right conclusions and never forget this time will smoke good for that to happen. ukraine meets peace and snow. gina knows, should likely have to wait a long time for that. with that you up to date, chris cobra has your business news next. i venue keeps mckinnon. i'll be back that would help me out with more international headlines i spoke with many of them. i am hi, lana. see i knew sky yeah. i am running for president of the republic of beller road. it's a.
