beds, but hopes of finding large numbers of survivors. 4 days after these 2 major quakes, those hope surveyed the w news witnessed a german rescue t save a woman to day in an operation that lasted more than 50 hours. deep under the rubble trapped beneath layers of concrete, here in the town of carrie con is 40 year old zane ep. she's been trapped under this debris for days now. but there is hope she will make it out alive. a complex mission to free her is underway, involving a team of german rescuers and using drills and specials equipment. they've been able to cut a path to her. oh

so we tried, a under surface fitting amongst the rubble is debated. then i was younger sister. she has been here since monday, waiting and worrying and in a desperate attempt to give her sister the strength she needs to keep going. zabeda bravely heads under ground. later showing us a video of the moment they shared beneath the rubble in them. debated it. oh yeah, oh yes i'm oh,

all dead. i should go even if she is the god. it's 9. i be saying, i need 1. 9. 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 cool. young maiden via the rescue team works deep into the night offerings, a beta all the comfort. they can even kind of shopping with de attempt to free her sister and by the early hours of friday morning, there is good news. after 50 hours of non stop

work rescue workers miraculously pulled zane up out alive. she said to be in stable condition. the relief is overwhelming. with alleged we're all just so relieved, so relieved the swimming. she got herself through it yet she didn't give up the others or dont we are so thankful that she is in this ambulance. now one of them i have no words. the bottle absolutely on the attention was extreme. really up there . when she was out, i said, now i believe in miracles. i after 100 hours fighting for her life. sadly, zainab order is free. i move and her sisters desperate. wait. it's finally over. well, a correspondent you'll johan,

she was there for that difficult rescue mission. well, of course that's what i asked as zabeda as well. and she told me as soon as she know that her sister was alive and that there were a team of rescues from germany who were willing to help her and who were really restlessly working to bring her out. she knew there was hope and she, she knew it would, it would happen. and what i really believe is, what was important is the moment that they not been zabeda were able to speak with each other. i think that was giving zeno under the rubble a loss of hope. she knew there were people who were fighting for her life. we actually spoke to ebay that the sister briefly a little earlier. she told us that they never is doing fine considering the circumstances she is injured. she has been taken to a hospital in the city of adina. and this story is not only one with a happy ending. it's actually

a part of the story is also that they have lost her entire family in that apartment block. her husband and her children have not survived, they are dead. that was due to abuse julia han reporting. they're joining me here at the big table in the studio is air con, arctic con. he is the head of d w turkish service, and he just returned from turkey or, i mean, i have to ask you, what kind of country did you just lead. frankie bryant, i leave a country of 70 to 82000000 people who are unified, who are so majority shown up from everybody, from every ethnic society in every ethnic, religion of the turkish public. it's really incredible how much the people stand together side by side. just to trying to help out these people who are really still in the rubble is it's really terrifying situation. but we can,

i could feel the warmness, the the, as i said, the solidarity of each other. it was really hard for me. and in a treasury like this, a national tragedy, like this, people look to their leaders, they look to, in this case, president air to one to be a, a can solar in chief, if you will. is that what he is doing me? how would you describe the way he is handling this crisis? honestly, i don't think that he's handling this cross is very political, correct? because normally you expect from a political leader to try to keep calm. the people try to say warm words, but the only thing that he's doing with his administrative was just to publish an application from the government. watch doc, just to announce a fake news and false news just to keep the news well. calm down

and don't, don't show up the tragedy which was barely, you can see, you know, and this is something that people will not forget, i think because they expected that everyone will show up earlier. but he didn't hear arrived 48 hours later. do you think that people are going to look at what has happened here and mediately blame the government? and of course, blame him frankly. they do because visually got the on tip, carmen rush and my last year are really the, the castles you can say, the voting counsels of everyone. and everybody is blaming him because the whole situation in that area, the whole building, the whole construction is the major fault of the government because they allowed everything like like these houses were built and they are built not very, very good. you can say here that there is that, i guess there questions about building codes that were violated. accusations

already that if those building codes had been respected and followed, maybe we wouldn't have as many people dead right now. i mean, is, are people saying that in those direct terms, right, and they do, they do definitely. they do because you can see that billings, which are made, let's say 5 or 10 years ago, are still good in good shape. but that government buildings, schools, hospitals, and other public buildings are collapsed. and this is something that definitely the government had to had to be asked for. we know that elections are supposed to take place. what does this coming may, right? well, it's not officially but add on as the aiming for 14th of may 14th, and maybe that was before the earthquake happened. now he's declared the state of emergency which would allow give him the authority then to postpone the election. is that possible just for that area? to be honest, but actually he had to another set of emerging for the whole country,

but he didn't yet. ok. and to be honest, it's not necessary to, to call for the state of emergency because he can ask the parliament, he's got the majority in the poem and he can say ok, we're postponing the the elections tell 18th of june, which was the, on the actual date or maybe he will show himself as a real leader and postpone it till september. that but that's just the guess and nothing's confirmed yet. yeah. what can happen between now and the summer, or whenever these elections take place? or can we appreciate you coming in and sharing your story valuable insight? thank you. thanks for having serious president. marsha allison has made his 1st public appearance since the earthquake visiting the devastated area of a leper assad along with his wife visited wounded patients in a hospital. according to state media, some international aid we understand is finally begun to reach the country. but some organizations are uneasy about working with a saw due to his role in the countries civil war. for more now,

we want to go to ben t sheller of the berlin based heinrich girl foundation. she is a foreign policy expert. she's written extensively about syria. it's good to have you with us tonight. there's a lot to go through here of this disaster, the geo politics of syria with these warring factions, controlling different areas in the region. how are the internal divisions within serial? how are they complicating rescue efforts? when obviously is really complicated because the parties are politicizing age, mainly the regime, for example, is not allowing age is for all borders of syria. it has now just a day said that or a can be delivered to cross line. and that means it has to go through damascus 1st and up a say in a disaster, which every minute counts. that is way too slow. it would be so necessary to open on board at a ex ante point to allow for 8. and this has not happened and there is

a lot of debate over whether western sanctions are or hampering relief efforts. the governments of both president assad and his main ally, russian president vladimir putin. they say that the sanctions against the, the government to their governments are making a terrible situation even worse, but it's not just them want you to take a listen to what the un secretary general antonio good harish said on thursday. this is the moments of unity itself. the moment to politicize will to revise, but it is obvious that we need massive supports. this is a moment in which every body must make very clear that no sanctions of any gains interfered with relief to the population of syria in the present moment. okay, that's a clear message from the un there. this is not the time to politicize. a disaster would lifting the sanctions, western sanctions against syria. would that make the situation on the ground in

northern syria for these earthquake victims? would it make that situation better for them? well, we've seen one important step and that has been that the yes administration has issued a general license for each and any aid related to design. and that really is important because so far it was a problem for banks to do a change of it, syria. and now of course, this issue of this general license would allow for some phrases quite simple. the sections overall are not a hindrance for humanitarian aid because humanitarian aid as well as heavy equipment. for example, rebel removal are not included in the sanctions. and we also have to know that there are governments that have offered a to, to the steering regime and the others are made to lay, but they never received a letter which shows us a lot about how seriously he takes catering to own population. also that only after

5 days he visits these areas, it's really difficult to believe that he will lobby against the sanctions because the cares about the people. so what can 8 organizations do? how can they help the people who need help without assisting olive sod at the same time, vladimir pu excuse me, the better i was asking you, why can 8 organizations do now to help people who need help without helping of sod and vladimir putin? but i mean, there are many organizations that are helping, without in any money flowing into their pockets. i mean, that's for the northwest kidney, the white helmets, and some other organizations. so donation makes sense, but in any case, they should ask for all border crossings to be open for any way to, to make a beach into syria, to allow for this, this would be a main service for all the syrian people. and i think also they should ask the

regime to be more forthcoming with the internal efforts. there has been some praises, even in the us, other in syria and the regime immediate, you said, well, these are also for is live, will hold those accountable, asking for donations for it. so i think there is a lot to do politically, diplomatically to really make a beach there, especially medical efforts and help those survivors earthquake now in the border beachy. i think that would be core, but the shiller. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you very much. russia has watched a massive attack on ukraine's battered civilian infrastructure. keith says that the latest wave of strikes included drones, rockets and cruise missiles, many of which it shot dell and the strikes come as russia intensifies its offensive in eastern ukraine. and in the city of soporific, at least, 17 missiles,

rained down in an hour. russia's latest onslaught his head with brutal force. this home nears operation is one of tin in the area that was damaged amid a wave of muscles across the country. the sheer power of the blast, sending a car on to a roof local residence. i used to the fighting, but say things have escalated drastically. with le show up, the visa was awarded her. it is obvious that the enemy has intensified his attacks . but that's been 15 to 20 minutes. there were 5 or 6 powerful impacts that she's but of course you have not experienced anything like this for quite some time on the beach while at the girl was dying. last time she was the end of spring, which i think gilling osama can this was the attack focused on eastern ukraine, but air raid sirens and keith forced residents underground as missiles threatened the capitol tow students quickly trading the classroom for lessons in

a subway station. while ukrainian forces managed to shoot down 10 missiles of a cave, a home was heads. some of the missiles was seen to cross over other countries to give her a she's several, a russian massage through through the air space a lot over and romania. joel with the was prove that terra doesn't though in borders, won't prove that the protection of ukraine is protection of the whole of europe and the world. see every country that simply wants to live your call. today's missiles are charged to nato to collect a security camera giftings of legal mantle. gold thing was plaiting ukrainian officials have been bracing 1st suspected spring offensive by russia's troops. but as the cleanup from this latest garage, some suspects, the escalation has already begun. and our special correspondent i abraham, she is danny boy in keep forest gave you to you. i mean,

based on what we're seeing right now, can we say that the russian offense of this new offensive has it already begun? well, when that happens, the russians themselves won't tell you that that's for sure bread. but given the intensification of the, the shelling and the missiles that we've seen last night and today, and also what you know, ukrainian officials are saying that is certainly something that, that, that you hear experts here saying that this offensive, this long awaited offensive, has begun. and also the timing is something that we have to keep in mind. we are fast approaching the one year anniversary of this war, february 24th. and it is, you know, it would be a great symbolic move to have this offensive start now or a, some of our viewers will recall that at the beginning of the war, russia really thought that ukraine would fall within weeks. and here we are now

a year into it and you know, the country is still standing and so they are desperate to make gains on the ground as this anniversary approaches. at the same time yesterday, we saw ukrainian president zalinski and brussels, where he is received a warm welcome by european leaders. these images that we saw yesterday coming out of brussels would have been unimaginable before the war. you know, talking about the fast accession talks into the you and so on. and so the timing here is very crucial and it does fit into this into, into the idea that the offensive may have already begun and our ukrainians. how are they reacting to brushes, escalating attacks? well, hearing keith today, we woke up my team and i, to the sound of air raid sirens. we were, you know, as all residents here advised to go into a shelter, which we did. but i must say,

as we were walking to the shelter, there was no panic on the streets. people were simply going on with their lives as they would any other day as if there weren't sirens. blay blink are all around us. and that tells you just how use they have become to this situation. it's, it's, it's a, it's a rather grim side effect of this war brand. i'm a say, or special correspondence. i ibrahim joining us tonight from keith. i is always thinking and here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world is really emergency services say that a man and a 6 year old boy had been killed and he suspected cart ramming and a jewish settlement in east jerusalem is really authority say the palestinian driver was killed. well, 5 others were wounded. tensions have remained high since a palestinian gun to attack last month in which 7 people died. according to ron's state, media security forces have arrested what they're calling the main actors in

a drone attack on the military side in the city of is for han last month to run. had blamed israel for the strike of the facility. the, the purpose of which is still unclear the f. b i has carried out a search at the residence of former u. s. vice president mike pence. the search of indiana is the latest in connection with classified documents missing from the white house pence who was cooperating. with the prob, was found to be in possession of sensitive documents. last month, he has denied being aware that they were there american footballs, a super bowl. 50 southern takes place on sunday, between the kansas city chiefs and the philadelphia, eagles. hundreds of millions of people are expected to to noon and they will see 2 brothers competing against each other. ah, the stage is set in arizona for one of the most remarkable super bowls. yet.
