too much on my shoulders, but i have to hold this weight because i'm responsible for the future fall country for the people who are behind the boss. guardians of truth starts february 18th on d. w. ah . this is the w news. why from berlin? days after devastating quakes hit turkey and syria, another survivor is saved from the rubble. i think

a woman in jewels over a 100 hours under the wreckage hope is fading of finding out this line. rush of launches new me solid drone strikes on ukraine. civilians forced to take cover again as sirens ring. it ring out across the country. authorities say the attacks targeted our facilities in 6 ukrainian regents. we meet expectant mothers in ukraine, determined to give birth in the capital cave, despite russia's war, and made more ad rates across the country today. and police attain belgian emi paid, mach caribella questioning, in a bribery investigation kentoria, a rocket officials, a suspected of trying to influence decisions in the european parliament. ah, ah ah,

i'm been fas all and welcome the death toll from the earthquakes in turkey and syria just keeps rising. though hopes a fading of fighting survive is 4 days after the tremors teams are still managing to pull people alive from the rubble. several people was saved overnight in hot hit . hot province in the south of ducky, a dw crew traveled to the village of key khan. and so 1st hand, the efforts of rescue was digging one woman out of the wreckage. deep under the rubble trap beneath lay is of concrete. here in the town of kimmy con is 40 road zane at she's been stuck under the debrief a days now. but there's hope she'll make it out alive. there complex mission to free her is underway, involving a team of german rescuers and using drills and specialist equipment. they've been able to cut a path to ha ah,

so troy ah, on the surface sitting amongst the rebel is zubaydah zane eps younger sister. she's been here since monday waiting. i'm worrying and in a desperate attempt to give her sister the strength she needs to keep going. zubaydah bravely heads under ground, her latest showing as a video of the moment they shed beneath the rubble. and then they

debated it for the yeah, yet i'm a oh all they may ice gum indian nation is the guy does not know the same meaning. zayna is buried very deep under the rubble. i could only hear her voice. i can no longer hold out, save me. she said, i'm in so much pain, help me. yards in there. the rescue team works deep into the night offerings zubaydah all the comfort they can wish office as they attempt to free her sister.

and by the early hours of friday morning, things are looking more positive. we think it, we are right above her. now i can access her from the top and from the side. this means that a doctor has been able to get to her a bit and feel her there, as far as his arms could reach in. good is that if you do, the good thing is that he can now touch her. she felt it, and this will give her a bit of strength. it's news that will give zubaydah renewed hope that her sister will make it out of the rubble alive. and they will soon see each other once again . and we've, since since i received news that scene of has been rescued, these images show her being taken from the collapse building. she spent over a 100 hours under the rubble of correspondent julia han gave us this update. well, it took the rest here is more than 50 hours to get to zainab. and now of course

everybody is incredibly relieved, including us, including me in my a team. and we hear that dana is doing relatively well, considering the circumstances, at least physically here in germany, a growing number of volunteers has been doing what they can to help belief efforts . he is look at how humanitarian aid is getting from germany through the disaster zone. tense blankets, generators, all stored in almost 20000 pallets here in old, in the south of germany, all rescue kids that germany delivers to turkey and syria go through this logistic center. it's germany's central rescue supply hub than by the agency for technical disaster assistance. a federal organization that is mostly stuffed by volunteers. they come here multiple days in a row, leaving their jobs behind to help the fly out on them. i had already gone with one of the a transports. and when you see how much the people actually needed, i think it's just good if you can support them because otherwise it's almost

impossible. you don't know whether the 8 will arrive or not. and here you really have the opportunity to see that the 8 is delivered, the train volunteer spring into action when disaster strikes. almost immediately after the earthquake in turkey and syria, about 30 volunteers started to prepare supplies, volunteers load the goods on to trucks and then drive them about 600 kilometers to the vast of airbase in laura saxony. get sold in the us and yesterday, the 1st 3 a 400 ems to come from here from von stove. and another 4 planes will leave to die with a total of more than 40 tons of 8 supplies. it's a fantastically prepared operation. there are already logistics experts in turkey. that's good because now it's important that the supplies arrive quickly so we can help people. and for security reasons, the chairman air force can currently only fly to turkey. the server decisions on where the goods are going. i taken day by day with regards to the

security situation is, is no longer a decision for our agency, but for the foreign office or brussels summons solution. the german foreign minister and in a bad book is asked for the turkish syrian borders to be open for rescue supplies, something that could prove difficult. meanwhile, the volunteers in own will continue their mission, and the blue trucks will keep driving. now some of the, of the stories making news from around the world is where the emergency services say a man and a 6 year old boy has been killed in a suspected car. ramming on the outskirts of jerusalem is where the authority said 5 others were wounded and police killed the palestinian driver in the incident at a bus stop in vermont. a jewish settlement in east jerusalem. tensions have remained high since a palestinian gun attack last month killed 7 people. u. s. officials have released the 1st images of agents recovering the remains of a chinese balloon shot down last weekend. the u. s. is the balloon was part of

a huge surveillance program targeting over 40 countries. china insists it was a civilian aircraft. activists from the climate action group, last generation glued themselves to the road outside building's main train station . friday traffic was disrupted for around 40 minutes with police removing the protesters. the group is known for their use of civil disobedience to demand more action on climate change. and a promise to ramp up their protests this year. ukrainian officials say russia has launched dozens of missiles in its latest wave of attacks on energy infrastructure . the ukrainian air force as it shut down 61 out of 71 rockets. the attacks on friday morning triggered air raid sirens in cities across ukraine. residents have been urged to take shelter, including in the capitol. keith marita, milan is a defense expert at king's college, london and joined us from munich, ukrainian officials of the morning of an impending you russian offensive for some

time. now a current events, evidence that is you offensive has actually begun. well, we have been seeing some reports for weeks and talking about the potential russian offensive. and that was one of the reasons why is the issue with deploying tanks to ukraine was so urgent. and now we're talking about a potentially deploying fighter jets and indeed for rush as a window of opportunities closing, knowing that the thankful eventually arrive in ukraine and now that the russian forces have managed to gain operational initiative on the battlefield. they are trying to turn it into strategic initiative, so it is not to be excluded that they will try and push to gain more territory. given the intensification of the air strikes, coupled with the locations, whereas those airstrikes were aimed at. i think we will be seeing more intensified

fighting in the next weeks as russia is approaching a one year mark of its invasion in ukraine. could you explain the significance of what we've heard from ukraine stop general saying the to russian nissan launch today? ended moldova. and romanian as space mold over confirming that romania denying that essentially a missiles, according to ukrainian reports had entered those air spaces. and it would that inviolate the sovereignty of each of those countries in question. therefore, these countries will have to decide how to respond if there was any damage done. for instance, if it had been a quieter chat than they would probably want to shut it down. but others, and that it might have more of a political meaning, the message that is coming from ukraine as to nij nato's at the war might be

spelling over and need a might need to step up its help to ukraine. because romania so far has denied that the missile indeed crossed into its air space. and even if it did that still wouldn't mean that nita would invoke article 5. ok, remainder being of course. and i remember tell us also about this symbolic one year anniversary that's coming up. it's come so fast. do you think moscow is capable of achieving game changing battlefield gains by february 24th? i think regardless of the fact was, moscow is capable of achieving anything, game changing. i think they might try to push for something in order to use it in their information campaign. but either way, they will be trying to sum up whatever advances they have made throughout the year to make it look like they are winning the war and they have done that before. so i think we will be looking at

a very happy information campaign launched at domestic calculus of russia, as well as international community or a, specifically those states with which russia is working right now in order to show that it, it's efforts are paying off in ukraine because it's been quite a mixed bag when it comes to russian performance on the battlefield. so it would be good for russia and for his information campaign to be able to, let's say, retake vermouth and i'm have it as a symbol of this one year anniversary. but it remains to be seen, these are able to do that on time or not. and either ways, a whole claim victory, regardless of what happens if it's expert marine of iran from kings college london . thank you very much for joining us there from munich. thank. thank you. russian missile strikes are of course not, and you reality ukraine at the beginning of the russian invasion or even ukrainian hospitals will sped from bratia shelley and now some have prepared themselves in

case that targeted again didn't use i. abraham visited the hospital in keith, it's repurposed a storage basement as a maternity ward. she met with women who were preparing to deliver their children in the middle of a whole 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 in de next. and she's waiting for their 2nd child, a girl to arrive close to my little bit that we talk about family and things at home that as well as the suddenness came or 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 you cranes, 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, really with larry to 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 aquatic. 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 live like a younger yet. we have seen patients with more complications during pregnancy or

for non what that even though they have complications related to birth and enormous stress. m alagood on behalf of we worked, the psychologists and our doctors also became psychologist themselves. hm. at albums, lambert is on me medicaid list of all of the whole. hm. dr. 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 clossnick hobbs fled from the netscape eastern ukraine, a region that seen fighting between russian and ukrainian forces since 2014 reordered athlete. i've 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 kiev,

either ring a bell or some to the last us of q. despite the war. both renata antony, jana, are optimistic about the future of the country. they're bringing their children into i also 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 we're looking for that to happen. ukraine meets peace. and sna gina knows, should likely have to wait a long time for that. returning to our top story now and the rescue of a woman who spent a 100 hours under the rumble in turkey po phillip hone is the spokesperson for the international search and rescue german team. in con, them was personally involved in this rescue. thank you very much. for joining us here on dw news, can you tell us, 1st of all, what sort of a feeling that was managing to successfully pull a survivor from the rubble?

a to 2 out of these 2 because of course the one have the people who need the lax, that i'm going to station as a german the comes into their reach and asked me because they had to have them. on the other hand, of course, you need to hope to survive to select such a long period and under the robin, what are the next challenges for you and your team? obviously, there are a lot more people waiting help. yeah, of course. so and the next challenge for us is ongoing time. gravity right? when no, no time we have now because craig last more than 200 hours away. so as you say or dr. sage that they are $100.00 our dreams. anything or but couldn't greg?

i'm the best possibility to get people out because people got more and more you traded. if they don't have access to water. that's why now we have to probably more than before to get many people out just after we did. and of course, also the, the rather issues are very complicated because, and not this part of less than minus 10, decrease obvious value or a cold, especially if you go to a lot of we wish you all the best for the brown thing. fantastic work there from the international search and rescue germany team all the best. thank you very much, ben. bye. some of the other stories making news from around the world space x has successfully completed the 1st full test of its starship booster engines. a key part of the company's ambitions to eventually land astronauts on mars. the test in
