2:07 pm
demonstrators are protesting in jerusalem outside israel, parliament, the committed against controversial judicial reforms. the measures that would give the government more power to appoint judges to the supreme court. israel's far right government says the changes are needed to correct an imbalance of power between makers and the court. people in new zealand have been told to brace a more flooding and heavy rain, a slight loan gabriel approaches. the storm is currently around 250 kilometers off the coast and is expected to make land full over the next day. is the 2nd major storm to hit new zealand in just 2 weeks. ok, we're going to go back to our main story now. i spoke to johan earlier, who is in the turkish city of owes money, and i asked her to describe how things are there right now. here's what she told me . well 1st of all, like her mesa and her family,
2:08 pm
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 a minute 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
2:09 pm
. now, one week after the quaking of still finding survivors are 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 did 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. 8 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
2:10 pm
a massive scale unseen in turkey. so far as i mentioned, that hundreds of thousands have been left homeless. a 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 stumbled 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 makeshift 10th 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 folks for these death?
2:11 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 buildings. 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 were earthquake safety standards and codes that do exist here in turkey not properly and forced and implemented?
2:12 pm
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 was money to ukraine. now where the military is using up vast amounts of ammunition in its fight against russian troops. now the ukrainians ought now fast running out of basic supplies, such as bullets and the arms industry appears. unable to keep up with demand the w as terry schultz has this report. ukraine's endless quest per hiretech 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. in 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
2:13 pm
a shooting war in europe ever again with thousands and thousands of rounds of bullets, shelves and 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 where 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,
2:14 pm
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 graham 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. that report by des
2:15 pm
correspondent terry schultz, who joins us now from nato headquarters in brussels. terri, you've just been listening to nato chief instruct book underlying the need for ammunition. is that really a prospect that ukrainian soldiers might run out of ammo? well, no one would like to think so. certainly, but you do hear stories from the front line about soldiers running dangerously low on bullets. and that's the concern of everyone, because it's very difficult to replace this ammunition as you just heard in my report. the other thing is that different countries give different guns, different weapon systems, and they all use different ammunition. so it's very hard to get the specific type needed for whichever weapon system they're using. and that's really what nato has been speaking about now, how it can speed up the supply to the ukrainians will, is it is obviously not as simple as saying, well, the manufacturers such as ramp up production,
2:16 pm
they should just move to round the clock project production. what is it that is proving so difficult? well, i mean, the 1st problem is that, that ukraine is using up its ammunition faster than europe makes it. it's estimated that the ukrainians are using between 4007000 rounds of artillery, a missiles and bullets every day, and russia is using up about 20000. so those are huge numbers to resupply and the weapons industry is, is not prepared to make any rapid moves like this. it's been decades of downsizing, its capacity to produce bullets. because as i said in, in my report, no one ever expected you to have a war where people are literally shooting it at each other again. and so now lately ramp up that, that business and train people and buy enough rob raw materials to do this, takes a long time. but interestingly, i just spoke with an industry representative who said, for all its talk, nato saying is speeding this process up and streamlining it. he said,
2:17 pm
the contracts being signed with weapons producers around europe have not kept pace with the talk about increasing the production. and what about the effect this is having in the war? i mean, is there a chance that this could hand a critical advantage to russia, or is this the fight for territory intensifies? russia has the advantage of being a country where the government can literally order companies to scale up its production with most of the enterprises being state owned and you see stories about putin saying that workers couldn't have weekends. they'd have to work longer hours, even keeping some men back from conscription so they could work in, in the weapons factories. europe, of course, has private industry and the end the government can't just order the companies to do this unless of course we move to a war economy footing and that's something that nobody is ready to do yet. they will work together. um and, and hope that i hope that this can, can work on the, on the european side as fast as it does on the russian side. but we literally had
2:18 pm
an analyst on our d. w air here. say that russia is hoping that ukraine runs out of bullets before russia one runs out of soldiers. now the allies job is to make sure that doesn't happen. terry, thanks so much. let's d w terry schultz reporting from the nato headquarters in brussels. now later this week, world leaders will travel to germany for the munich security conference. now this is europe's most important gathering on global security. and it'll be happening just before the 1st anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine. the conference organizes have just published their annual report, which includes the results of a major global poll on people's attitudes to the public opinion around the world. the scene is a crucial factor as the war and to it's 2nd here. and the w richard walker spoke to the chair of the munich security conference coast of high school. and he asked him if western countries have the stamina to keep supporting
2:19 pm
ukraine. i think this stamina is stronger than letting me put in beliefs it is. but of course, the conflict now has its consequences received in energy prices inflation. but what my interpretation is from the report 1st ukraine, ukraine is determined, the ukrainian citizens are adamant they want to fight russia. they see what is happening in the country. the most surprising finding in the report was said in ukraine, 89 percent of depression say they will even fight on if putting should use tactical nuclear weapons in the other countries. yes. and there may be signs of ukraine fatigue, but this is also called for leadership. we have to make clear that if putting winds this war, it's not over with ukraine. yes, announced. and his foreign minister has announced a couple of weeks ago that mulder vice nixon asked the baltic countries they expect
2:20 pm
to put in to turn against them in case he is successful. and therefore, we need to be firm. we need to continue to support ukraine, and we have also to make clear to alter to the population that we are in for the long run the year. you've also been looking at very important countries outside the west in their positions. for instance, india, south africa. these countries have been pretty much on the fence so far. do your findings give you any impression that that could change these countries might turn against floods me and fusion? well, we have 2 findings. and one of chris is that in many countries, the russian slash chinese narrative is pretty dominant, which is that this is what happened said ukraine is appropriation of east west conflict of nate to again stretcher,
2:21 pm
and many are sitting on the defense. and i don't see that this is actually not east west conflict. this is a breach of civilization, a breach of the un charter, the breach of international law. the positive finding is if these countries are, are asked, do you foresee in the future which kind of stayed what kind of an international structure you prefer? do you prefer the kind of western us system liberal democracies liberal order or an autocratic authoritarian regimes? the majority in all of these countries say no, we want the liberal in international order as the founding principal for our countries. and here in germany, you've been a strong voice pushing for very strong support for ukraine. you just mentioned the importance of leadership. now the debate is moving to whether west country should provide fighter jets to ukraine will have shelter. chancellor here has spoken out
2:22 pm
against that pretty adamantly so far. do you think that's mistake m? we have to see what is what is needed. how do we cope with the russian aggression? and we see that russia is right now starting an offensive. they pay a very high price, but you can see how much it today. tim regime is able to continue this ruthless, horrible war and we have to support ukraine. and instead of putting red lines, i think we have to see what is needed. what does presence lensky? what does the ukrainian army, what do? what does the ukrainian people need and then when you talk to military experts, they say that you need to when you, when you fight a war like this, you need a combination of several weapons. you need tanks, unit artillery. but you could also need fighter planes to us to protect the air space, to, to also get at positions that are out of range of arteries. therefore,
2:23 pm
i think they should be a military decisions. and as you know, our neighbors and friends netherlands and poland have not excluded. and so i think we shouldn't put red lines, but we look at what is what is needed, that the current tension between the u. s. in china will obviously be a big issue at the conference. we've got chinese big top diplomat coming. got us vice president coming, harris coming this current drama over spy balloons. what does that tell you about the current state of the restaurant relationship? well, i think we agree that this relationship is her right now. not in the best situation, or we have seen escalations over the last year from the pelosi visit to the military or violation of for taiwan air space. we have now seen the use of these chinese balloons are in violating international law over
2:24 pm
u. s. air space. and this spiral of escalation has to stop. and we very much hope that china and the us will use the munich security conference as a forum to again talk to each other and see how these tensions can actually be resolved. or how can we come to a situation where we are not afraid that something might explode and, and lead to something we don't want christopher can many thanks. my pleasure. thanks for having me. ah, american football down the biggest game of the year went down to the final seconds before the kansas city chiefs beat the philadelphia eagles in the super bowl. the match featured to top quarterbacks throwing the football, including the eagles. jaylen hurts, who found a j. brown for a touch down the helped asheville adelphia to
