proponents say the proposals threatened countries, democracy and the american football super bowl goes down to the wire with kansas city coming out on top of all march report and coverage of that much height of time show starting rianna coming up in school. ah, i'm from gail. welcome to the program. a week after earthquakes hit turkey and syria, more than 35000 people are now known to have been killed. survivors are still being pulled from the rubble. but as time passes are becoming exceptions. relief has been slow to reach affected areas of syria and the united nation says the rescue phase of its mission in both countries is coming to an end. the focus will
3:02 pm
not shift to care for people who have been made homeless lest growing despair at the sheer scale of the humanitarian crisis. our correspondent julia harness in turkey. hattie province she sent at this report from the time of iskander on ah, this is what's left of the state hospital in the city of his kingdom, builds to save lives. it became a death trap. the building collapsed on patients. after the earthquake struck one week later, rescued teams are still digging through the rabble. searching for survivors. if you can, can you give us any information about the person you have found? one? no, we couldn't find any id. a list of them. mesa high ellison's anxiously. whenever the rescue is announced,
3:03 pm
they found some one. 0 grandmother was at the hospital when the quake hate mesa hasn't slept for days. she's been sitting here waiting, feeling helpless, cut center, been all over. i don't know how many days have passed. i lost track of time until they 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,
3:04 pm
of the kept using it subtle until it became a tomb for every one inside. the scale of the destruction is overwhelming. across the region, thousands of buildings have collapsed and tie a neighborhoods have been flattened and hundreds of thousands of people left homeless. maybe get him yearbook, we meet some of them in this makeshift camp and is kendall, and it feels disorganized desperate families who were strangers a week ago are now forced to share a small tent, was not much in it. and so this could still very 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. and so we only have his join every time we're 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
3:05 pm
a tent young that have no help has come here at all. yes, video to them. yeah. mio bri up miti boy i was a local governor. he's been sent here to lead the crisis response in the area. 90 percent of his team of volunteers, but i admit that the countries disaster response was too slow in the 1st days. but now he says everyone's pulling in the same direction. for one only with roger, the actually was beerin, a very big tragedy of it. absolutely. normal for those who are experiencing such a tragedy to feel down, but thinking want to complain with on the probably all, surely we have licence to learn what outcomes to examine the model all 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 the, you shall, we will try our best to emerge from this better. that of is no muster. and then villain. yup. or just will you be taken talk, mom's good at the ruins of his skin to one's hospital mesa isn't
3:06 pm
ready to stange 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. oh, damon is founder and president of the international network for age relief and resist and assistance. she joins us from a donna, which is also in the southern took welcome to d, w. and what's your impression of the situation it is as if a multi headed monster has come through decimated this entire area. and it's one that us as aid organizations, whether we're small organizations like mine or even the larger ones are struggling to fight against the need is just so great. and so wide spread, it eclipses just about anyone's capacity. we've been going around as the not a team doing very targeted a distributions based on family specific needs. and it goes beyond what is in
3:07 pm
normal humanitarian packages because you have to also think that at the same time, in one instant, millions of people's lives were up and it millions of people had to flee their homes and they need everything from food and tense as you were just showing in that report all the way to tooth paste and tooth brushes, and mouthwash and sanitary pads, and clothing, and wait to stay warm. and that's just on this side of the water in turkey, where you do have this aid flooding in from air c les and international rescue teams, countries pledging money to turkey. if we just talk for a moment about what's happening on the other side of the border in northwestern, syria, we don't have a lot to say in terms of aid and assistance coming in. and that's quite simply because it's not going there. people died there because the rescue teams which are
3:08 pm
local organizations, the civil defense team, known as the white helmets, did not have sufficient diesel sufficient fuel to run the heavy machinery. and that's not as if they had enough heavy machinery to begin with. and people there are still suffering in these atrocious conditions. an aid has only just started to trickle across the toner. sort of inferior has been walked as you understand it. there are multiple problems when it comes to syria, and it's all very heavily politicized when we're talking about access to aid right now. there is one official you, one sanction border crossing between turkey and syria, that border crossing for reasons which don't necessarily are assumed to be entirely clear was closed for the 1st few days following the earthquake, the church said that it was because of the roads leading to it were damaged. now, the reason why there's only one border crossing into this part of syria is because this is north western syria. we're talking about, sorry,
3:09 pm
north northwestern syria and we're talking about an area that is held by the rebels . those you oppose the government up by shadow, i said. and the assad regime wants all a to go through damascus, and then they say that they'll handle the distribution of it in country, which many say quite simply wouldn't happen to these areas that have been in opposition to them. areas that the assad government and the russians have continuously been bombarding. i've written this with this wasn't related to just times again, so, so on that. and the oversight is very difficult for us to get into those areas of service that are controlled by the rebel. so i mean, you have described and almost apocalyptic vision of southern turkey. what are you hearing about the situation of just on the other side of the board? how much worse is it that the level of damage is similar comparable? that's what we're seeing in the images. but the scenes of misery are
3:10 pm
also comparable, but amplified in numbers. because people have stood out there watching and having to dig through rebel with their bare hands. and they've been hearing the news about international rescue teams arriving to turkey. they've been hearing about all of the aid coming in. and they've effectively been trapped inside this open air prison knowing that there's so much assistance on the other side of the border. and yet it's not reaching them. and i think one of the even bigger tragedies and all of this is that, and i know this from my years working as a cnn senior international correspondent. and now also in my role with any not a as, as a humanitarian worker, syria has never, not once, not one single year since 2011 have humanitarian aid assistance calls or syria actually been fully funded. prior to this earthquake, any organization had to beg and scrap for assistance for their programs in syria. so this is a population that effectively feels as if and they're not wrong to feel this way.
3:11 pm
the world doesn't care about them. no one focuses on them, their lives are completely dispensable because of where they're from, and that is feeling them on and you've given them an international focus, very clearly. thank you for joining us on our diamond from the international network for aid relief and the systems. thank you. as most orders are making news around the world will start in new zealand, which is preparing for more flooding and heavy rain asli clarinet. gabriel approaches a new zealand. the 2nd major storm in 2 weeks is currently around 250 kilometers off the coast. i was expected to make landfill over the next day. officials in the united states say a weather conditions, a humphrey efforts to recover the debris of an unidentified object shut down on sunday near the canadian border. us house now down to 4 such objects on the 1st has been officially attributed to china. beijing insist that was
3:12 pm
a weather balloon with blue, of course. as the war in ukraine and as to fight against russia consumes vast amounts of ammunition. ukrainian troops are running short of basic suppliers, including bullets. and the arms industry appears. unable to keep up with them out, 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, but even i'm so on the front lines, there have been reports that ukrainian soldiers are nearly running out of bullets and some nato countries say they're 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
3:13 pm
sophisticated equipment. it's all unfortunate, but that's what it is and, and it's the result of just in time just enough her 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? the answer, he says, is, all of the above nato allies are scaling up as fast as they can. the u. s. says it
3:14 pm
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, country should be looking at how to tap into other sources of ammunition components . germany as it, our technicians are metered, shunned with a lot of small companies producing a hunting, ammunition sport termination. of course, a large 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 stockpiles were vast. but now the pentagon estimates moscow supply of modern ammunition will run out within months of nato secretary general against oldenburg greece at ammunition, stockpiles our problem. the war in ukraine is consuming an enormous
3:15 pm
amount of ammunition. and the pleasing are large stock parts the current rate of ukraine, some initial expenditure is many times higher than our current rate of production. this puts our defense industries under the strain. so we need to run a production or correspond. attorney shaw says the art nato headquarters in brussels are welcome terry, and 3 cents a do have a sense of how much ammunition is being used in this war. we don't have any exact numbers on how much is being used because of course, neither side would like the other, the other one to know if there were military weaknesses and in what, in which weapons. but it has been estimated by u. s. defense officials that ukraine is using between $4.70 rounds per day, and that russia is using as many as $20000.00 of course with a much larger military. but though the important figure is that they're using more
3:16 pm
than, than we can make the ukrainians anyway. and that's what's really concerning because, i mean, if that's true, and if that continues, then it seems like you would end up running out at some point. and how does that prospect of ammunition, shortages hours out affecting the way this war is being fought, or planned, or ukraine and its allies? i'm not sure exactly how they will rearrange their resources on the ground, but what they are talking more about is how they re adapt back here in, in the supply chains. and that's what really as, as i mentioned in my piece is something that has gotten a lot of scrutiny. of course, when, when no one expects to have to use this many bullets, the industry scales back, it doesn't have contracts, it doesn't train workers, it doesn't, you know, stock pile the raw materials even. and that's where they were when the ukraine war started. but i just talked to a weapons industry executive coming into this meeting today. and he said that whatever nato says about scaling up, it has not signed contracts. nato allied governments have not signed contracts with
3:17 pm
the weapons industry. so i think he felt like they're being blamed for a lot of the shortfalls, when in fact they haven't gotten orders to scale up yet. of course this mostly to face with weapons shortage is, i mean, if you're shortage is good on the critical advantage to russia. russia's very different economy from europe makes it much easier for a russian president vladimir putin to simply tell companies to, to ramp up. i've heard stories that he's kept men back from conscription to, to have them work in the factories that he tells workers they can't have weekends. they have to work longer hours. course that doesn't work in europe because a lot of these, most of these companies are not state owned. and there are laws about how to treat employees. so until these companies get larger orders in europe, they're not going to scale up, whereas couldn't, can just order it and you'll have much better luck. thank you for dr. terry sholtes at night. her course in brussels. well,
3:18 pm
our international edison richard walker has been speaking with chad, a fee and unique security conference at crystal hoisin and asked whether the west hospice dominant to keep supporting you crime. i think this stamina is stronger than a vladimir putin beliefs it is. but of course, the conflict now has its consequences. we see the energy prices in inflation. and but what my interpretation is from the report 1st ukraine, ukraine is determined, the ukranian 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 the persian 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
3:19 pm
fatigue, but this is all to calls for leadership. we have to make clear that if putin wins this war, it's not over with ukraine. he has announced him and his foreign minister has announced a couple of weeks ago that mulder why it's next and asked the baltic countries and they expect to put in to turn against them in case he is successful. and therefore we need to be so firm. we need to continue to support ukraine, and we have also to make clear to all to, to the population that we are in for the long run. the, or you've also been looking at very important countries outside the west in their positions. for instance, india, south africa, these are countries that 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 vladimir putin? well, we have 2 findings and one of course is that in many countries that russian slash chinese narrative is pretty dominant,
3:20 pm
which is that this is what happened said. ukraine is a prolongation of an east west conflict of nato, against rupture and many a sitting on the on the fence. 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 country's i here in germany, you've been
3:21 pm
a strong voice pushing for very strong support for ukraine. you just mentioned the importance of leadership. now the debate is moving to whether western country shall provide fighter jets to ukraine. will have chelsea, chancellor here has spoken out against that pretty adamantly so far. do you think that's mistake and we have to see what is what is needed? how do we cope with the russian aggression and we see that a rusher is right now starting an offensive. they pay a very high price, but you can see how much it today at 10 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 present lensky? what does the ukrainian army, what do, what does the ukrainian people need? and when you talk to military experts, they say that you need to when you, when you fight a war like this, you need
3:22 pm
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, i think this should be a military decisions. and as you know, our neighbors and friends netherlands and poland have not excluded. so i think we shouldn't put red lines, but we look at a tree at what it's, what is needed at the current tension between the u. s. in china will only 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 of a spy balloons. what is that tell you about the current state of the us china relationship? well, i think we agree that this relationship is right now, not in the best situation. we have seen escalations over the last year from the
3:23 pm
pelosi visit to the military, violation of for taiwan air space. we have now seen the use of these chinese balloons are in violating international law over us air space. and then 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 to suffice. can many thanks. my pleasure. thanks for having me. this is date of your hair. so all stories making news of this, our israel has launched our strikes against garza in response to rocket that was apparently fired from the palestinian territory. and jets reported to have struck
