with mohammed traitor in a car, my marsh, and julia han reporting from adina. 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 her. are donna 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 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,
5:05 pm
hundreds of thousands of people here in the region are now homeless. they have to sleep in makeshift 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 for the quite kit. 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 mohammed, we have heard reports of looting and social unrest. how has that been affecting the response as for now, shifting that will or the aid and relieve for the virus. some security concerns lead some 8 operations to be the standard we received before the losing and classes
5:06 pm

5:07 pm
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 yeah, 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 that's all is that the increase found the flux before the sun yesterday, the number one from the 402-8001 day the

un effect falls through at least double as policy of what these are still buried in the winds of sounds like mine might ask where i'm standing now, as you can see right behind me, a mission is underway. but probably if 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. while the united nations humanitarian chief says, the international community has failed. the people of northwest syria, martin at griffith's, once the un security council to authorize the opening of 2 more border crossings from turkey into rebel held regions of syria. years of civil war have left 8 organisations struggling to reach victims of monday's quake,
5:09 pm
particularly in parts of the country outside government control. there's currently only one crossing open to un agencies hampering deliveries of life saving food and medical supplies. survivors of the quake have been flocking to make shift camps originally set up to how is those displaced by the war returned to the war in ukraine now, where both russia and ukraine have been using unmanned to drones for attacks and information gathering. russia has made particular use of iranian made so called suicide drones carrying explosives. they can spend significant time in the air before finding a target and crushing into it. t. w correspondent, mathias bullying or went to meet you crazy and soldiers whose job it is to shoot them down. this is what some of your friends most important army units look like. this is a mo, buy air defense unit,
5:10 pm
protecting the capital from drones. as soon as they're told that she had drones are approaching, they take position and try to shoot them down. arrows, missouri here, that was a she had drone measures, 2.5 on 3.5 meters. but in the sky, they are just small dots. drones might be weapons of 21st century warfare, but defense against them on not d s. h k, machine guns like this one were 1st used on the battlefields of world war 2, the control center, since the coordinates and estimated trajectory of the drones to the soldiers on the field. they rely on their own eyes. for thomas, my record the letter we had special training to teachers how to shoot in front of the trajectory were not shooting straight at the drone, but in front of it to create barrage fire. we aim quite far ahead of the drone. they can pick up us over anesha. i bet just. this is just
5:11 pm
a demonstration. the army won't take us to the actual positions at the moment, but jones mostly come at night ukrainians. rely on tracer ammunition and night vision devices. rain, fork, or snow, make it difficult, which is why bad weather makes drone attacks. more like it's a game of cat and mouse chart core. bully premie as up was here in the beginning, they sent them straight to their target, who are put on a linear trajectory, which really the promote the mushroom d lender learn to program them in a way so they take a different route every time we try to call me or to call it, we were expecting them to come from one side and they were from another direction in so that's how the enemy is trying to avoid the places where our forces have shot down. she had some more food, then they, again, they're not, they trying to find holes in our defenses and m. hi, it's,
5:12 pm
isn't it the kids sprawling abroad, but there are none. at least that's what i think the via the casa for these world war 2 goes, retirement is not in sight. for more, let's bring in a marine on iran from the defense studies department at kings college london. are in a good to see you again. are both russia and ukraine have made extensive use of drones in this war? how significant do you think they have been on the battlefields? thank you for having me. well, at the beginning of the war, russia has seen the use of by iraq tar t b to drawing supplied by turkey and identify to keep abilities gap. because the turkish drones have acted as a battled pill. destructive force for the russians. and it wasn't easy for the russians to defend against this drones. and we have to also say that these drones
5:13 pm
have both reconnaissance and try capabilities. and the ukranian force has use these drones to strike targets to strike russian targets, which has been disruptive. however, we cannot see that these problems were the sciences because we have to look at the entire use of unmanned aerial systems that happen using ukraine and bio rock tars where it just the small number, the as a drone set that ukraine has used world, different classes and i think perhaps the most important, once we're used on the tactical level, i want to ask you about a report from cnn earlier this week that says that iran appears to be modifying the drones. it's applying to russia to cause maximum damage to ukrainian infrastructure targets. what do you make of this report? well, i think for russia, it is a smart move to modify those drawings because due to economic sanctions, since 2014, it's been very difficult to get military components necessary to build those drones
5:14 pm
. so the development and construction of, or alon or as the drones have suffered as a result. so to substitute that, using uranium drones was ideal and now modifying the drones as far as i know, the navigation system for the drones has been switched to, the russian controlled go on. and so russia is also contesting as a western countries in space. therefore, it would make more sense because what russians are using now is our electronic warfare weapons to counter ukrainian drones and to kansas. so they wouldn't want to accidentally champ their own drones. and obviously they're also working on modifying the explosive payload in order to create maximum damage. well, thank you so much for that update. that's marina wrong from king's college london. really appreciate your time. thank you. our 4th mother story making news
