12:04 pm
the disaster. he shows me what the hospital looked like before it collapsed. the building was dilapidated for years he says unsafe, but no one did anything about it. ukuleles robin imogen nickel, mythology collision, it was obvious that this building would collapse sooner or later even without an earthquake. but why they kept using it subtle until it became a tomb for every one inside. the scale of the destruction is overwhelming. across the regions, thousands of buildings have collapsed and tie a neighbourhood, have been flattened and hundreds of thousands of people left homeless. maybe get him your hope that we meet some of them in this makeshift camp and his candid on it feels disorganized desperate families who was strangers a week ago or now forced to share a small tent was not much in it. and you said there's
12:05 pm
a couple of don't have enough tens of law. it's so cold inside. it doesn't warm up like i did for boy somewhere. so we only have his choice every time we're sharing one tent with 2 other families yamuna. yet that i thought it raining, the kids are all sick and i have a small baby. please for god's sake to send us a tent young that have no help us come here at all. it's really out of them get me of what he up. mid february was a local governor, he's been sent here to lead the crisis response in the area, 90 percent of his team of volunteers blood. i admit that the country's disaster response was too slow in the 1st days. but now he says everyone's pulling in the same direction to one another with roger, the actually was bridged a very big tragedy with which absolutely normal for those who are experiencing such a tragedy to feel darn. but thinking want to complain was on the public. all surely
12:06 pm
we have license to learn what outcomes to examine the model all got a bought from this point forward. we will try to see this as a challenge to start over there, to dip it. i'm very sure we will try our best to emerge from this better that of his normal and then get in the upper just will you be taken talk, mom's good at the ruins of his skin dawns, hospital mesa isn't ready to start over yet. she'll be waiting for news about her grandma, for as long as it takes and she knows the themes may get worse before they get better. for the very latest we can cross now to our correspondent julia han who filed that report for us. you lear now in the turkish city of osmani, and can you tell us how things are there now a week off to the quake? well 1st of all, like her mesa and her family,
12:07 pm
many survivors have waited for the past week. days and nights next to the collapsed buildings are waiting for their loved ones to be retrieved. watching these people suffer, they are in so much pain, watching them slowly, losing their hope is really beyond a heartbreaking now here in osmani to day, our impression is that the rescue efforts are largely over. we drove around town, some of the piles of rubble are being removed. we see residents trying to get inside the buildings that are still standing, trying to retrieve their belongings, mattresses, furniture, clothes, but the buildings around here are also not safe. they are at risk of collapsing and we still see after shocks. now this is the situation here in osmani. we do still see few cases of miracle rescues on turkish television. but experts say the chances . now, one week after the quake, head of still finding survivors are very,
12:08 pm
very small because the buildings were constructed so cheaply, they collapsed into very tiny pieces, leaving only a few spaces for people to survive in. and the human body can only survive for so long without food and water. now add to that, the freezing temperatures at night. we don't have any idea now how many people actually died of a hypothermia. what people telling you? what do they need right now? what they need at this point? well, they need a shelter. they need heating, they need sanitation. sanitation is a huge issue. aid workers here in turkey, but also from a broad international has helped keep scoring in or tirelessly working to reach people. hunt, tens of thousands of volunteers are involved in these efforts, but this is really a crisis of a massive scale unseen in turkey. so far,
12:09 pm
as i mentioned, that hundreds of thousands have been left homeless at tens of thousands of probably more have been already evacuated from the region. airlines off our offering evacuation flights for free to other cities is stumble on cra entire. but here on the ground, the country is actually preparing for other health risks. now emerging from this situation. as i told you, hundreds of thousands possibly have stayed out in the open only and make shift tens at with no proper heating medication is an issue with no sanitation, no toilets, no showers, or other health risks can potentially emerge from the situation. you know, you mentioned how badly built, how suddenly built many of these buildings were. some contractors have already been arrested and turkey on suspicion of negligence related to these claps buildings. where does the search stand right now? who for people who could potentially be held responsible foot for these death.
12:10 pm
well, 1st of all, turkey is one of the most active earthquake zones. and in the world, there have been several deadly quakes here in recent decades. this was inevitable. the government knew it. local forties and would everybody here knew there was a risk, but the vast destruction that has been caused by these 2 quakes could have been prevented to a certain extent expert, say people, we speak to it, tell us they blame the faulty an unregulated construction of building for the loss of life and the government is now targeting contractors that are allegedly linked to the collapsed buildings about one question that we hear over and over again. and many people here are too scared to ask it. why were those contractors allow to operate like this for years and why we're earthquake safety standards and codes that do exist here in turkey, not properly and forced and implemented? and these are questions the turkish government will have to answer sooner or later
12:11 pm
. you yeah, thanks. so much for that sa correspondent, julia han reporting from osmani. now the u. n's, humanitarian chief says that the international community has failed. the people of northwest syria, martin griffiths, once the un security council to authorize the opening of to international aid crossings from turkey into syria, to speed up the delivery of life saving food and medical supplies. through home of the lumber logo, the road for 40 years must often his family have lived in jan doris. now they're all gone. my children, my brothers and sisters, every one died in the right. he says the earthquake took more than 50 of his family members. bottles the likeness meaningless to me now, what good i wish you had died with my children are doing as a well brother at 60. he is suddenly alone, like the buildings around him. he says his life is in ruins. like so many
12:12 pm
towns and villages and northwest syria. jan doris was already dealing with food and security. poor sanitation and a cholera outbreak. when the earthquake hit o'mara long hold on the ground in rebel held areas like this one. it's this serious civil defense known as the white helmets, who leads search and rescue efforts. team leader yasser nini is on his way to a destroyed building. locals say they've heard noises under the rubble. he digs to get a better view, but they neither here nor find any one unless i don't help people not, no one will know the international community or nearby countries. no one comes to our rescue. he says he feels the world has forgotten his country, even before the disaster people in northwest syria relied almost entirely on aid
12:13 pm
for survival. international assistance has been slow to reach survivors in areas outside of government control. in a tweet, the un humanitarian aid chief acknowledged the international community, is failing. the people in north west syria. martin griffith wants the un security council to authorize the opening of 2 more border crossings from turkey. currently there's only one international crossing open to you and agencies severely hampering deliveries of life saving food and medical supplies. the u. n says damascus is considering the proposal. i met with us oh, to consider an audition across border. once for this message is for survivors and jan doris, the time to act was when the earthquake hit. anything else is too little too late. some or we can bring in kristin hell bug. she's a journalist and also who has covered syria in the region, and she joins us from here in berlin. and what are you hearing from your contact
12:14 pm
from the ground? can you tell us more about the situation in syria one week off to the quite well, no heavy machinery has entered north syria by now nor diggers, no excavators, according to the y talents, they will stop searching for survivors today because there's no hope to find any survivors under the, under the rubble, but they still have to remove the separate so they still need this heavy machinery . they cleared the streets for help. so there's some, you want it here and help coming in from the you and through this one border crossing barbara. however, there are some other than the other countries that are using the other border crossings between turkey in north and syria. they have brought in some basic, 1st human and hearing aid, for example, from northern iraq than region government or saudi arabia. but it's very limited, no big rescue and so forth. and people are sitting there in empty tins. women and
12:15 pm
children that are still wearing the clothes of the night of the, the earthquakes where they desperately need water. they need food, they need tens, they need shelter and heating. and we don't have this major aid response that we see in turkey, unfortunately. and people feel let down. we've heard them and on a destroyed bidding, for example, there was this writing saying we have died. thank you for letting us down. can you explain to us how the political situation inside syria is affecting the humanitarian efforts? there? the front lines inside syria, a definite d hampering a rapid and pragmatic humanitarian 8 because both the us hunter gene but also the islamist, malicious, allied with president out want in the turkish occupied territories in north of let boy they have prevented aid from reaching the affected areas, the self administration, dakota, south administration, and all these tyria has tried to send 100 diesel trucks and other military a to these regions. they were stopped by the regime and they were not lit in by the
12:16 pm
3 national army which are the ones most and there is on the ground. at the same time. we hear that h t s, the extremist, that control it live have else will stop 8 coming in from regime health areas demanding 40 percent of the deliveries. so basically, every militia, every military force that controls a checkpoint within syria, tries to benefit from these they deliveries, asking for a share before allowing him to pass. meanwhile, the people of freezing and dying. what needs, i mean, what can be done to speed up or to the, to, to make international aids be delivered to syria. will that 2 things? first of all, do you and have to use all border crossings from trophy into syria for a major humanitarian response. they should not wait for the security council to prove that they should not wait for by the us magazine because in international law, there is no need for you. and lucian,
12:17 pm
if you want to reach people in need. so the you and have limited that want to pop of action by doing this in the past, asking for a un resolution for cross border 8. this is the time to stop this mechanism and to people directly because russia and the see in machine have almost all have channels . almost all the humanitarian aid in the last, he is already through damascus, where the assad regime benefits from it and it uses it. so they ask for the emergency, aid should not be channeled through damascus. the 2nd point is who international non governmental organizations. you can reach the people in need because they have partners on the ground in the country. so these are big organizations like here, like say the children to an american medical scientists, doctors without borders. so go lot to go directly. the chances are they are they have to be launched to make sure that those that are most affected within syria finally being reached. kristin, how bug. thank he so much. that was very clear. thanks for your analysis. my pleasure. let's take
12:18 pm
a look now at some of the other stories making use around the world. u. s. defense officials say that they have had contact with china about the suspected surveillance balloon felt down earlier this month. the u. s. is now down for such objects. the latest on sunday, near the u. s. canadian border defense official say they know little about the objects. people in new zealand have been told to brace for more flooding and heavy rain as cycling gabriel approaches. the storm is currently around 250 kilometers off the coast and is expected to make landfall over the next day. it's the 2nd major storm to hit new zealand in just 2 weeks. israel has launched as strikes on garza in response to a rocket fired from the palestinian territory over the weekend. the israeli military reportedly struck an underground complex storing rocket materials, allegedly belonging to the millicent islamist group hamas in
12:19 pm
a separate hack. one person was killed during an israeli army raid in the west bank to ukraine. now at the military is using up vast amounts of ammunition in its fight against russian troops. the ukrainians are now fast running out of basic supplies, such as bullets and the alms industry appears. unable to keep up with demand. d w 's. terry schultz has this report. ukraine's endless quest for higher tech weapons dominates the headlines. but in fact, the country soldiers and its allies have a much more basic problem. everybody's not asking for more ammunition. when i'm so on the front lines, there have been reports that ukrainian soldiers are nearly running out of bullets and some nato countries sake there cupboards are bare. the fact is no one expected to see a shooting war in europe ever again with thousands and thousands of rounds of bullets
12:20 pm
. sheldon missiles used every day by both sides, stockpiles of ammunition in nato countries. and more crucially, production capacity in the weapons industry had declined for years. in favor of more sophisticated equipment is or unfortunate. but that's what it is and, and it's the result of just in time just enough our way of looking at our economy. it's not a situation that can quickly be reversed. western countries have been learning the hard way that it's a the, one of those problems where he doesn't where it doesn't suffice to throw money to problem. cameo grant spent 6 years in charge of defense investment at nato. he says, the current ammunition shortage could not have been foreseen, but admits. now it's a race against time to fulfill ukraine's urgent needs and replenish nato allies. domestic stockpiles. what is slowing us down as a bureaucracy? is the fact that we don't have enough skilled workers? is it the fact that the supply chains or not what they should be, that we don't have the stock bards of critical components?
12:21 pm
the answer, he says, is, all of the above nato allies are scaling up as fast as they can. the u. s. says it will increase production of artillery shells by 500 percent over the next 2 years. germany's rine metal says it's hiring more people and may build a new production plant. camille grants says at this same time, countries should be looking at how to tap into other sources of ammunition components. germany as an order munition or metered shown with a lot of small companies producing a hunting ammunition sports ammunition of course a lot portion of that is not seats to do strictly military ammunition, but they can certainly contribute to the supply chain earlier in the conflict. it was believed russia stock piles were vast. but now the pentagon estimates moscow supply of modern ammunition will run out within months. ah,
