this way because i'm responsible for the future fall country for the people who are behind the boss. sh. guardians of truth starts february 18th on d w. ah ah ah . this is dw nunes live from berlin after the devastation in turkey. arrests are being made. officials detain those allegedly involved in faulty construction of buildings that have crushed thousands to death. we have the latest updates for you from our correspondence in the region. in syria, it is now all about getting aid to earthquake victims in a country where

a 12 year long civil war has been holding up desperately needed supplies was will the 2nd time be the char berliners cast votes in a run of local elections. we looked back at the botched ballots that prompted today's vote. ah hello, i'm clare richardson. thank you so much for joining us. turkish authorities have issued arrest warrants for over 100 people allegedly involved in constructing many of the buildings that collapsed in the earthquakes. the government has vowed to punish any one responsible, but critics say turkeys. construction codes are rarely enforced with rescuers still trying to locate any remaining survivors. desperation on the ground is also leading

to looting and civil unrest in some areas hampering the efforts of emergency cruise . well, the death toll across turkey and syria is now over 28000 people. at the u. n warns that figure could double, ah, the moments of prayer for life, cut short as hopes of finding survivors fade public attention turns to burying the dead in hot province. skulls a laid to rest in mass graves. as more bodies continue to arrive on the streets of untouchable one, there were concerns over security and civil unrest. a shop saluted

an atm, ransacked in a big deal. if people take diapers, food and drinks from supermarkets, it's normal. there's been no help for days on. but some people are strange, they take a cooker or a coffee machine. and the market that we watch our houses are vehicles of lotus luda houses and unfortunately there's nothing to say. yeah, we're devastated, upset up on what we are experiencing is like a nightmare. her mother is younger, there is, it's, was our solution. dozens have been arrested. and turkish president recipe type err to one. want those looting and committing the crimes would feel a firm hand of the state on their box. german rescue work as an austrian soldiers were temporarily false to halts operations owing to growing security concerns. as soon it's very typical that the security situation gets a bit more 10 socket. that's partly due to the fact that food is now running out of

water supplies are wanting out of it and then people out searching for food and water after. so when a 2nd thing is that the hope that people had is now increasingly fading human at that hope. it can then also turn into anger is offload on all in woodland long coming. almost a week on from the earthquake. the importance of protecting the rescue operation is clear. as a 12 year old child is pulled alive from the rubble. in a rare moment of visible relief. for more, let's go live to our correspondence. we have it. you the hon in. i dunno. and mohammed a schrader reporting from carmen marsh in turkey, eulley. i'd like to start with you. could you tell us more about the situation in the area where you are? what has the aid response been like? and what are survivors saying they need the most?

we've been moving around here in the area a lot. we've been 2 different cities today. i'm speaking to you from the city of our dana a. we were here at this very spot just for dear days ago. there was a giant pile of rubble rescue workers digging through the debris. and now as you can see, all the rubble here has been removed. you can see the damage that's been done to the neighboring buildings. nobody is staying there right now because these buildings are at risk of collapsing as well up to a 100. her people have died in what used to be a 14 story building here, and that is really an emotion. here. people are overwhelmed with grief. there is only no one who hasn't lost a family member or a friend in this earthquake. there is also a lot of despair. hundreds of thousands of people here in the region are now homeless. they have to sleep and make shift shelters, or even outside in the open or in their cause. and these 2 emotions,

despair and grief, have quickly turned into anger because people say rescue teams have arrived. only days of for the quake hit, they say the buildings that have collapsed with poorly build an earthquake safety standards have been neglected. and these people are now demanding answers and they demand those responsible for this, for this scale of the crisis to be held accountable. and as people are growing, understandably increasingly angry and desperate of mohammad, we have heard reports of looting and social unrest. how has that been affecting the response as for allow shifting that will for the aid and relief, one of the virus. some security concerns lead some a donation to be the standard will be for the losing and classes with luke and who are active in the devastated don't some rescue. workers are adjusting that some of the that losing are going on because that people aren't getting the

a that they need, but simply some other are taking advantage of the situation. friends of our ethics in high, i've been on the highway near and pop and the car was stolen. the government said that the dozens of people have been arrested for feeling or trying to be brought in the way. and you will, it has not been your impression to have your sources told you whether or not government aid is reaching those who need it. while the turkish government has admitted a problems with the initial response to the crisis, but now they're trying to give the impression that the situation is under control. they are sharing the number of rescue teams and 8 workers on the ground. they say it's more than $160000.00, including flooring personnel and including thousands, tens of thousands of volunteers. but we still every day meet people who say they

have received little help or no help at all. and food and water is not even the main issue. the main issue seems to be at tens and places for people to stay. heating is a big issue because it's very, very cold, bitterly cold here at night. people struggle to keep warm and yet we need to many desperate people who have absolutely no idea what's coming for them or how the next weeks are going to look like mohammed it has been 6 days since the earthquake on monday morning. is there still hope for finding people alive under the rubble where you are? well sir, unfortunately the best all is that the increase found the flux before the sun yesterday. the number one from the 4100. 28001 day, un effect fall through at least double as policy. but why these are still buried in ruins of pounds and 50 like. mine might ask where i'm standing now,

as you can see right behind me, a mission is underway, but we're hoping to find their loved ones alive. now hoping to find their body so that they can grief. i want to thank you both so much for your reporting as our correspondence. jojo, hon. and i did not. and mohammed traitor in carmen marsh, thank you both or years of civil war. have left 8 organizations struggling to reach victims in some parts of syria. the u. s has suspended some thanks. sions, against syria, to make it easier to get supplies to where they're needed. on saturday, taylor, every we had of the w. h. o. riveted government held a left, carrying vital medical equipment. survivors of the week have walked to make shift camps originally set up to house those displaced by the war. but anger is growing at the slow pace of international aid deliveries,

particularly in parts of the country, not controlled by the assad, government destruction and devastation in a part of the world which can hardly take any more. hitler province has been a central theater of the syrian civil war and its home to one of the last remaining rabble controlled hand lives. the earthquake has killed more than 2100 people here . among them, this man's 4 year old son. he's angry that a lack of support meant it took 4 days to recover his child's body. awful memory, sadness, who is helping us in turkey. they are getting every thing that they made a special air bridge to bring aid from all round the world. but no one is coming to help us. what did this child do wrong to be under ground for 4 days before we found him? getting aid into this part of syria is complicated by the war. and the assad regime

still being in conflict with rebels and it lived there has long been only one approved route in for international aid, over the turkish border. one of the rebel leaders says the civil war has impacted the way the government has responded to the catastrophe. in the region, when the people who died in the earthquake would not terrorists, they were innocent civilians. they were women and children. such a confused humanitarian issues with politics is a big problem. state media report that the government will now allow aid into it live from within syria, but not through other international border crossings. that would help those scrambling to make the best of a desperate situation. but for thousands of victims, it's already too late. let's bring you up to speed now with some other world news
