up is reaching rebel held areas and is pushing the damascus regime for more access . also on the show, the ukrainian military has long been asking for high tech weapons, but it seems it's now also running out of something much more basic. bullets are an increasingly short supply and american football super bowl goes down to the wire with kansas city coming out on top details on that much height, half time show starring brianna, and much more, coming up later in sports. ah, i manuscripts mc and, and welcome to the program. it's now one week since 2 devastating earthquakes struck turkey and syria and the report a death toll has now reached over 35000.

ah, you is in the m and province in turkey, say they have pulled a woman alive from the rubble. the moments like these are now happening less and less. and the united nations is predicting the number of dead could reach over 50000. in syria relief has been slow to reach affected areas. you an aid chief visiting the devastated city of aleppo, said the rescue phase is coming to a close. the agency will switch its relief efforts to shelter and schooling for survivors. is growing despair of a massive ongoing humanitarian crisis. our correspondent new johan is in turkey's heart, hit a tie province and she sent us this report from the town of iskander and ah, this is what's left of the state hospital in the city of his kingdom. fields to

save lives, it became a death trap. the building collapsed on patients after the earthquake struck. one week later, rescue teams are still digging through the rattle, searching for survivors. if you can, can you give us any information about the person you have found? no, we couldn't find any id. a list of, of them may set high ellison's anxiously whenever the rescue is announced. they found some one. a grandmother was at the hospital when the quake hate mesa hasn't slept for days. she's been sitting here waiting, feeling helpless, cuts everything, all. i don't know how many days have passed. i lost track of time of day only started looking for her. now. we're waiting here for her. i love my grandma very much. my 2nd name is i soul. i was named after her

me says cousin ali john says mismanagement by the local authorities contributed to 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. you college, i bet they will get nickel mythology collision. it was obvious that this building would collapse sooner or later even without an earthquake. but why, of the 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 neighborhoods have been flattened and hundreds of thousands of people left homeless. maybe get him here. we meet some of them in this makeshift camp and is kendall, and it feels disorganized desperate families who was strangers

a week ago are now forced to share a small tent, was not much in it. can you tell the skills that he don't have enough tense? it's so cold in sight, it doesn't warm up a lot of it. i have 2 kids for boy somewhere. so we only have his joy every time we are sharing one tent with 2 other families. jamara yet it's been raining. the kids are all sick and i have a small baby. please, for god's sake to send us a tent young that no help has come here at all. yes. billiard room yamil bri 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. for 100,

it's roger the actually experienced a very big tragedy with which absolutely normal for those who are experiencing such a tragedy to feel darn but thinking want to complain will on the probably all, surely we have license to learn what outcomes to examine the model on all, gotch got a bought from this point forward. we will try to see this as a chance to start over. good. will that but i'm very sure we will try our best to emerge from this better. that of is no mustard. and then gillen. yep. i'll just will you be taken? talk of mom's good at the ruins of his skin to one's 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 that things may get worse before they get better. either i spoke to the doubly correspond, johan, who filed that report. she is now in the turkish city of money, and i asked her to describe how things are there a week after the quake struck. well 1st of all, like her mesa and her family,

many survivors have waited for the past week, days and nights next to the collapsed buildings 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 heartbreaking. now, here in osmani today, 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 quaking of still finding survivors a very, 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 hypothermia. what people telling you? what do they need right now? what do 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, 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 imagination flights for free to other cities is stumble on cra, antalya. 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 makes of tents 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 collapse buildings . where does the search stand right now?

who for people who could potentially be held responsible for these death? 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. you yeah, thanks so much for that. sa correspondent, julia han reporting from us money and the un humanitarian chiefs as the international community has failed, the people of northwest syria, martin griffith's 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 mom of the law logo, good role for 40 years must off and his family have lived. and 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. delightful, meaningless to me. now what goes on, i wish he had died with my children who 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 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 the 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, 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 north west syria relied almost entirely on aid

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 you as an o 2 gun cd audition o good us once for this message. for survivors engenders the time to act was when the earthquake hit. anything else is too little too late. kristin hel berg as a journalist and also her covers syria and the surrounding region. and i asked her

to tell us more about the current situation that well, no heavy machinery has entered nor seal. yup. i now know 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 still, they still need this heavy machinery. they cleared the streets for help, so there's some you want a terran help coming in from the u. n. 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 food, 1st human and hearing aid, for example, from northern iraq courtesan regional government, or saudi arabia. but it's very limited, no big rescue and so forth. and people are sitting there in empty tins. they're women and 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, the hampering a rapid and pragmatic humanitarian 8 because both the us hunter gene but also the islamist, malicious, allied with president antoine in the turkish occupied territories in north of aleppo. they have prevented aid from reaching the affected areas, the self administration, dakota, south administration, and all these tyria has tried to send $100.00 diesel trucks and other community and a to these regions. they were stopped by the regime and they were not to let him buy the suit. national army, which ad wants most and there is on the ground. at the same time we year that

h t s, the extremist, the control it live have else will stump age coming in from redeem 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 without 2 things. first of all, do you and have to use all border crossings from turkey into syria for a major humanitarian response. they had should not wait for the security council to prove that they should not wait for approval by the us, augustine. because in international law, there is no need for you and was allusion. if you want to reach people in the so the you and have limited that one scope 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 years already through damascus, where the us hot regime benefits from it and it uses it. so they asked for the emergency aid should not be channeled to damascus. the 2nd point is no 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 soon american medical scientists, doctors without borders. so go lot to go directly. the chances are they are they have to be enlarged to make sure that those that are most affected then syria of finally being reached. kristin, how bug. thank you so much. that was very clear. thank fear analysis. my pleasure. take a look. now, some of the other stories making use around the world, thousands of demonstrators of protesting and jerusalem outside israel's parliament

against controversial judicial reforms. the reforms aimed to give the government more power to appoint judges to the supreme court. israel's foreign governments, as the changes needed to correct an imbalance of power between all makers and the cause. u. s. defense official say they've had contact with china about the suspected surveillance balloon shut down earlier this month. the u. s. is now down for such objects. the latest on sunday, near the u. s. canadian border defense officials say they know little about the objects and people in new zealand have been told to grace for more flooding and heavy right in a cyclone. gabriel approaches. the storm is currently around 250 kilometers off the coast. it's expected to make land full over the next day, and it's the 2nd major storm to hit you zealand in 2 weeks to ukraine. now where the military is using up vast amounts of ammunition in its fight

against russian troops, ukrainians are now fast running out of basic supplies, such as bullets and the arms industry appears. unable to keep up with demand. t w's . terry shoals 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 their 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 . 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 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 one of those problems when he doesn't where it doesn't suffice to throw money to problem. camille 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 was 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 parts of critical component? the answer he says is, all of the above. nato allies are scaling up as fast as they can. the us says it will increase production of artillery shells by 500 percent over the next 2 years. germany's ryan metal says it's hiring more people and may build

a new production plant. camille grant says at this same time, countries should be looking at how to tap into other sources of ammunition components, germany as it, our technicians are metered, shown, with a lot of small companies producing a hunting ammunition sports ammunition. of course, a lot portion of that is not feats 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. lead cross straightened it up. mm. correspondent, nick connelly his in the ukrainian capital. steve. nick, you've reports it from the front lines of this war. tell us just how critical is this shortage with stephanie? very stark. i've met commanders of how it says of our to re pieces who've told me

that they don't know how long they can keep on doing their job. if they'll basically be her forced to withdraw your and move away from positions and a wait for more ammunition. this is a very real problem. i think no one in europe certainly even calculate this kind of war was still possible that this kind of cold war scenario fighting over hundreds and thousands of miles of freight lines was even ever going to happen to right now . you've seen ukraine and it's ella scrambling around the world looking as far afield as pakistan and south korea for 2 emissions. now we've had reports for of pakistani made soviet caliber musicians heading this way o u. s. troops being asked to send mission to they took part to south korea to europe for ukraine. this is obviously a very, very big effort. but obviously you, when you speak ukrainian, they say this isn't getting here fast enough. and they're having to mix very tough choices and trying to use what they have more cleverly rather than just kind of competing the battlefields with missions as you see the russians doing. well,

let's talk about the other side. i mean, we heard in terry's report that russia is also facing its own supply shortage. is there a chance that russia could run out of ammunition to but certainly seems like they did have a lot less in the west place than people outside of ra certainly had thought before this war, but they do still have a whole lot and they're using it very liberally in see those images come from, but most of the places in east new crank, sco lunar landscape with huge craters. just seemingly kind of endless streams of mission being used. but it seems like for now they are able to produce more. they are not being attacked in the hinterland. they have all the kind of metal to supplies of basic materials to make more munitions to what they are really struggling with is high tech equipment western sanctions. are now finally starting to, to bite. and we're seeing new built russian tanks actually less change advanced and stuff that was built before this war. but they're unable to get parts from western europe from north america. and that really is having an impact to russia now fighting. we weapons that are 2030 years in terms of the current technology behind what they had just few years ago. did only correspond. and nick conley and keith,

thanks so much for that. ah, american football now and the biggest game of the year went down to the final seconds before the kansas city chiefs beat the philadelphia eagles at the super bowl. the match featured to top quarterbacks throwing the football, including the eagles. jaylen hurts, who found a j. brown for a touchdown that helped push philadelphia to lead at half time, the hertz rival patrick ma homes brought his team back to even things out late in the game with his passes and runs even on a bad angle, with just 8 seconds remaining. the chief scored the winning field goal and moans won his 2nd super bowl and just fight is what he had to say off to the game. and i want to guys just know that everything we work for is for this moment you to enjoy this moment. you can't, you kill at the moment, overtake you, mass,

all the guys did them a 2nd. have me part of the very in i'm. that's all you can ask us gasoline urging to have little bottle. jason, come down here as a journalist in los angeles, and we asked him about the historic match up of quarterback. so the super bowl we've had blackboard lead teams to the super bowl even when the super bowl. but this is the 1st time to black quarterbacks, one head dad in the super bowl critic say that it's taken far too long for the nfl to have this happen. considering that the 100 years old and the sewer more started in 1967. so it's been a while, but it was definitely a story day in that regard. and it was the 1st time the 2 brothers from the same family played on either team. the kelsey's tribe is kelsey from the city cheese no played in and starting center county for the philadelphia eagles. so there is
