a large number of patients and it exceeds our capacity it. in spite of that, we are giving it all our effort oddity. patients have multiple injuries requiring more than one treatment and we need all the support we can get in our hospital including surgical and medical supplies that. mm hm. uh, a he'll be while they wait for reinforcements, they manage as best they can. and that requires harnessing all the resources available and improvising. hardy, i'm glad that will up some we've switched all the wards from cardiac care to surgical care. him on how what at the most of the wards have been completely transform as of this more common the entire staff has been called in for a full week because of the tremendous pressure on the hospital now, not from the, from the land. and we also have a shortage of medicine and our stock lyles under. i'm john ludwig. i live on more health is on the way to this hospital close to the turkish border and advanced team

a hospital and said to be in stable condition. sadly, our team in turkey has learned that zenith has since passed away. we are now joined life by dr. stephen buyer from the german organization, international search and rescue who coordinated the operation to pulling up from under the rubble. i want to start by being a little personal if you forgive me, i wanted to offer my condolences, i imagine the last 24 hours or so have been very difficult ones with all the answers from my son, but see a family plan. so my whole team will you said she died last night? oh goodness. we understand again that you coordinated the rescue of zane and can

you tell us share with us what happened? yeah, we are located for 5 hours with them. and she wasn't going on with us, but i was kind of breast you quicker because she was more than 100 hours on the rubble. she couldn't move. and that's the problem. it seems to stephen, explain this to people who watch the news and see stories like this endlessly you're in, you're in the midst of this, you're trying to help people and these people are actually human beings, that they're not just numbers. to what extent do you develop actual relationships

with the people that you're trying to save? yes, we are the people in my team and try and unclassified dogs rescue technician medical question number people under the rubble or why we have to be honest. rich. yeah. we can think there was so much effort in her rescue. we saw the footage hearing. she didn't make it would be heartbreaking for anyone who watched. how do you and your colleagues find motivation to continue your work after hearing such news? well we have

a chance to say why we gave them the job and why team went to a pitching into which oh, there are many more people under the rubble. what are the chances of finding more people alive right now? i don't know. we are more than 100 to find the our way. and now chances to find a likely very, very low. okay. sometimes it's happened to me anywhere, no reply on back. so we may want to find the effects of the day. she will have live a week from other other for the rest of them for the chance who i was going to one other time to

dr. steven buyers on my i s a are many, many thanks and good luck going forward. and here in germany, a growing number of volunteers has been doing what they can to help relief efforts . here's a look at how humanitarian aid is getting from germany to the disastrous odd tense blankets generators, all stored in almost 20000 pallets here in old, in the south of germany. all rescue gets that germany delivers to turkey and syria go through this logistic center. it's germany's central rescue supply hub and 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 you 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 aid 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 unto trucks and then drive them about 600 kilometers to the vast of ebay in laura saxony. get something decent yesterday the 1st 3, a $400.00 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. 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 bought for the foreign office or brussels summons on the postage. the german foreign minister and that in a bad book has asked for the turkish syrian borders to be opened for rescue supplies, something that could prove difficult. meanwhile, the volunteers in own will continue their mission, and the blue trucks will keep driving. other stories now making use around the world at this hour. the u. s. military has shot down an unidentified object over alaska on the orders of president joe biden official. she had posed a threat to civilian flights. the u. s. air force down the suspected chinese spy balloon. last week, the white house says it's not clear where the latest object came from. no. the origin authorities in chile have arrested at least 20 people suspected of starting forest fires. the blazers of killed dozens is drought and record temperatures fuel the flame. a curfew is in force in the worst areas. the leaders

of brazil and the us have been holding talk to reset relations with a focus on democracy and climate change for joe biden and result. new president lula promised rebuild strained diplomatic ties. both leaders face challenges from the far right after winning elections or printer sport. now, american football super bowl takes place on sunday. the kansas city chiefs will face off against the philadelphia eagles. and for the 1st time in the history of this event, the teams will be led by 2 black quarterbacks. the stage is set in arizona for one of the most remarkable super bowls. yet. it's the 1st time american football showpiece. we'll have 2 black starting quarterbacks as kansas city chiefs star patrick now homes take some jaylen hurts and his philadelphia eagles. the

significance of the moment is not lost on any one that has been on his retirement, i guess at his historic moment to be honest performance to do so many others. so much is the reason for telling them they can do a team. so it's a problem. hertz is in his 1st super bowl. his opposite number ma holmes has already lifted the trophy in 2020, but understands why this game is so special. to be lucky enough to be in this position. and the plague is another great guy, like jalen is gonna be a special moment and i'm glad that we're here today. how can we keep moving forward? and how can we motivate kids that are, are younger that are gonna oh, they're going to be a quarterback. is going be a special special day and a great the morgan holmes has struggled with an ankle problem of late, but nothing is going to stop him teaming up with start i to end travis kelsey, who will be facing his own brother, jason,

a center for the eagles this is also the 1st super bowl since 2017, which was won by the eagles. whether to number one, seeds from the regular season have reached the finale. if that's not enough to whet your appetite, pop star rhianna will be making her come back in the half time show it's all shaping up to be a super bowl. like no other. earlier we spoke to german nfl store jak up johnson and asked him why this sport in particular, their super bowl capture is the global imagination. put both of those sport like no other. it's the most entertaining sport out there. it combines physicality with teamwork. it's the ultimate team sport. nobody has ever won a football game by themselves. in soccer, you have the opportunity to maybe score a lot of goals and assert yourself that way. but in football there is no position

that works with out somebody else supporting them. and i think people just gravitate towards that on the beauty of football is bringing people together from all different kinds of backgrounds. you guys from down south florida. busy guys from iowa that were raised on arms. guys like me that are from germany. we're all coming together for this beautiful game. we will end it there watching t debbie news up next shift. living in the digital age, which looks at the perils facing children in virtual reality world, a michael locus for me and the rest of the berlin team. thanks for watching. a new sky and i am running for president of the
