8:06 pm
mom's good at the ruins of his skin dunes. 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. and we can now speak to jak son she shockley. he is the ceo of the morrow foundation, which provides humanitarian assistance in syria and turkey. he joins us from got the on top and southern turkey, missouri. she shockley, you're based in the effect at region in turkey, and you're just visited one of the worst have areas in syria today. can you tell us what you witness there? while it's a really difficult describe, you witness rescue workers. i'm trying to work even been almost 7 days. the weather is so cold that people are still having hope, even there is no hope. for some other people. i witness something i never witnessed
8:07 pm
before. probably never seen, even the movie your organization works in rebel held, northwestern, syria. how does the situation there differ from across the border in turkey? while i was also today in later mash, i mean i sort of to work the work i work in was even slower and some heavy mechanic vehicle is trying to work. but what's happening is we don't have that. we don't even have support kids. we don't have a missions delivering to a very, very few people coming from outside. so you got to help. i was just like with desperate and people are looking for any kind of support and they don't have what are people telling you? because i'm, i'm assuming that you talk to so many people there are pleading for a to finally come through. can you share some of what they've been telling you know,
8:08 pm
people feeling is truly like between anger and sadness. they would be like why nobody's looking at us, why nobody is trying to help us. what's, i mean, what did we do? we've been under the warrior for 12 years and the hospitals behind people last not only their houses, the things they live. and i mean, imagine that you are living in the parents and now they don't even have a place to stay with this call. they're really angry with sadness. they like, don't know what to go in the street to see kids lost their parents to see. ready like all the women just looking at the bubbles, just looking around, they don't know what to go. what are the main issues for aid to get to the parts of serial, where is most needed now? well honestly, the main issue is that it felt we're not nobody's sending gates there. i mean the 1st 2 days when this we had this bad that we talk to many officials. i mean,
8:09 pm
you and the officials resist the problem. but now some countries, i'm not sending it be getting to take some time and that's a problem. their words, i checked my cell powers crossing point. how are you today? i be doing that was that costing part points was already to have a but there was no trucks in the u. n. one of the organizations that are providing aid to the effect of areas has admitted they've been having through reaching the people in northwestern area. the 8th of the un said today on twitter, that the organization had failed the people there. so what needs to happen to help survivors there to improve coordination between the actors to really allow aid to go to where it is needed most. i think they need to move faster. that's the whole thing. those are very accuracy in all the agencies. i'm not pointing fingers, but those people are really living with no clothes and like like with this severe
8:10 pm
weather. so i just that mean we're looking for a marker to be mentioned fast to coordination. i know we met with the official. mr . michael griffith was here yesterday. we communicated with other officials. they said they get more faster. they're bringing more people, but time is against us. i mean people cannot wait 10 days to have food. cannot wait to have a just warm weather not to have 10 days to have and we were piping. shockley from the alarm foundation. thank you for your time and all the best to you. thank you. thank you. now to the war in ukraine as the fight against russia consumes vast amounts of ammunition. ukrainian troops are running short of basic supplies, such as bullets, the arms industry, and pears, unable to keep up with them out. ukraine's endless quest for hire tad weapons
8:11 pm
dominates the headlines. but in fact, the country soldiers and its allies have a much more basic problem. everybody is not asking for more ammunition in i'm so on the frontlines, there have been report 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 shelven missiles used every day by both sides, stockpiles of ammunition in nato countries and more crucially, production capacity and 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 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
8:12 pm
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. what is slowing us down as a bureaucracy? is the fact that we don't have enough skilled workers is 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 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 the same time, countries should be looking at how to tap into other sources of ammunition components. germany as it, our technicians are metered, shunned with
8:13 pm
a lot of small companies producing a hunting ammunitions, full termination. of course, a large 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 or nato secretary general against ultima agrees that ammunition stockpiles are becoming a major problem. the war in ukraine is consuming an enormous amount of ammunition. and the plea thing are large, stockpiles 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 our production. and we can now
8:14 pm
talk to nicholas drummond here, the defense industry analyst and a former officer in the british army. he specializes in land warfare. mister drummond, good to see you. now, given the scale and intensity of the war, could nato really not have foreseen? a shortage of ammunition maybe hasn't really invested in store houses. i mean ition since the end of the code 1990. and since that time, we've allowed our stalks to be depleted, and we also have to remember that we haven't seen a major european conflict for even longer than that. and so our model for planning how much ammunition that we might use are all outdated. and we just let the stock sort of dwindle over time. and you, we've paid the peace dividend because we diverted defense expenditure to other areas of government after the end of the cold war. and now we from that suddenly find ourselves involved in the shooting war. and everything that we thought that we
8:15 pm
knew about how we plan to do this is now wrong and needs to change radically. so we, we are making, sorry, yeah, just, just let me know if this could have been foreseen. there was just a miscalculation because nato didn't really see, know, or, you know, have a sense of what it was getting itself into. will they have morals, it sort of forecast for how high intensity will might pan out. but what we're seeing in ukraine is a much more kinetic wall with vast quantities of ammunition being used much more than we imagined they would be. and that is required as to revisit applying assumptions. how dangerous could the shortage become for ukraine? well, in the short, so i think we'll continue to supply ukraine and that won't be too much of
8:16 pm
a problem because there are multiple sources for all types of ammunition. the question is, if it's escalates and the rest of nature finds itself involved in a direct conflict with russia, then we risk running out very quickly. so we're making a concerted effort to ramp up supplies and to really enlarge their stockpiles and assure that we could get things going. what could these efforts look like? because on his recent visit to brazil, for example in german chancellor asked luna to fill the to provide ammunition for the war and ukraine. and he's rarely said no, we're not getting involved. so what are those alternative sources when could they be? well, most european countries have a domestic production, all small homes. i mean, eastern artillery ammunition is more specialized in many countries are ramping up.
8:17 pm
united kingdom, germany, france, all of those countries that are producing, i mean issue a so it would be available what, what's difficult is really complex missiles and long range, munitions, which router guidance systems. they take much longer to produce the lead time. so by the fracturing those has been impacted by the global front crisis shortage of chips. lee, i was the analyst nicholas drama. thank you so much for your time. and let's get you up to speed on some other stories making headlines around the world today. several people have been injured in new york city after a truck driver mounted the sidewalk and rammed into pedestrians. the driver led police on a wild chase through the city before he was eventually stopped and taken into custody. catholic clergy in portugal, abuse nearly 5000 children over the past 70 years. according to an independent
8:18 pm
commission investigator say, most of the abusers are priests. the commission has warned that its findings are just the tip of the iceberg. israel has launched airstrikes against garza in response to a rocket, apparently fired from the palestinian territory. jets are reported to have struck an underground complex allegedly used by hamas as an army depot of thousands of demonstrators have rallied outside israel's parliament against plan judicial reforms. opponents claim the proposed changes attack democracy, the measures would give the government war power to appoint supreme court. judges. ministers say the reforms went to correct an imbalance of power between lawmakers and the court. ah, democracy is one of the mean slogans at district. hist. danes of thousands of israelis, hefty can do the streets,
8:19 pm
the fear that democracy is under threat. i'm here, the government said the good changing laws which we make this country, which we love not to democracy anymore. that's it. more people are coming to demonstrations and we have this they optimistic if we don't have our hope, there's nothing left and we're doing what we can and we think that may be today. it's a very historic day. and we hope the darrel harris and we'll hear screaming. that's all we can do. we came here to protest against the law this very quick, very aggressive change of law. there's a lot of people who are very unhappy with the parts of our government are trying to do here. deal here to send a message to benjamin netanyahu new far right government. which wants to overhauled the justice system and reduced the influence of the nation supreme court. the plan
8:20 pm
would allow and ami goes to overnight supreme court decisions and gift fund additions more influence in the appointment of to just critic fee. it will give overreaching power to the government that many considered to be the most right to bring in his rights history. huh. so what they are hearing from this spot is not a voice of despair, but a voice of hope. what they are hearing is not hatred, but love of the homeland. that's what is tightening them so much. that's what made our voice louder and clearer. lower because i would go do bucko and i read your statement posted on his twitter gown. nathan, yo excuse the opposition of fermenting a crisis. coolio shells, dr. deliberately dragging the country into anarchy. who get a hold of yourselves. show responsibility in the leadership because you are doing the exact opposite of you to what you're good. cuz people who google protests against the proposed or whole have been going on for weeks. but the government sees
8:21 pm
it's plans are essential and doesn't seem to be back down, at least for know. the u. s. says there is no evidence of extra terrestrial activity after it's shot down a series of mysterious objects over north america. the objects have opened a diplomatic rift between china in the united states. washington accuses beijing a running a high altitude balloon program for intelligence gathering. the west shot down another object near the canadian border on sunday. the 4th this month alone, only the 1st has been officially linked to china. beijing denies it was used for spying and accuses the west of flying high altitude balloons over china at least 10 times this year. where we can bring in mikaela curve. now our washington correspondent, mikaela what more that the white house out to say, and they're sharing any new relevant findings. well,
8:22 pm
certainly the white house has her decks back claimed by the chinese and says that it is not sighing. and he believes that it has no surveillance program above chinese s space within chinese space. and we heard from don kirby who's the spokesman of the national security council and what the big difference is between that fast object that was a balloon for everybody to see. and the other 3 object where he still went, say whether they were balloons or not. let's take a listen. these other 3, they didn't have proportion, they weren't being maneuvered. it was basically they have been being driven by the, by the wind. we don't think we don't, we don't know for sure whether they had a surveillance aspect to them, but we can't rule it out. so there was a little bit there was enough uncertainty there that again out of an abundance of caution during the prudent thing, the president directed that they get taken down. so and the
8:23 pm
reason they were taken down, we were told during that briefing a while ago is that they actually posed a threat to normal traffic because they were travelling at an altitude between 20 and 40000 feet. now these are trans atlantic se slide is round about $30000.00, they will not maneuverable and that's why the president himself took the decision to have them taken down and were told it will say take days or weeks pretend city until we will get more information from that analysis as they're, the officials are still trying to detect actually the debris at which is strewn in very remote areas. we're told. so that's what we've learned from the american side . but the political fallout is, of course, there for everybody to see already. you know, we have to bear in mind that these latest objects have not officially been linked to china. but just overall, how damaging is this episode to be already fairly strained relations between the us
8:24 pm
and china? well, let's put it this way. the last high level meeting between chinese president, she and us president biden was at the g 20 and barley at the end of last year. and the aim there was to do nothing less, but also nothing more than try and find a flaw in relations to put in a flaw in these have really thinking relations between the us and china. now this is the chinese spy balloon that has been identified and shot down has blown that pretty much out of the water. and there are attempts, there are continuous dialogue attempts going on. there's actually dialogue going on at working level. we'll told what we couldn't get information on is whether you are a secretary of state, blink, and who counsels his trip to china will now meet his chinese counterpart at the munich security conference that's coming up in just a couple of days from now. that could be a potential for new dialogue there and were told from the american side that they
8:25 pm
would continue to take calls from the chinese side, particularly at the military level. there wasn't taken from the american side to the chinese and that the scene is very troubling. in terms of potential misunderstandings, mikaela cooper on the crowded skies over the united states. thank you very much. ah, the kansas city chiefs are the new american football super bowl champions after coming from behind him b, the philadelphia eagles in the biggest game of the year. the chief star quarterback patrick ma homes over came an ankle injury and confirmed his status as one of the nf els modern grades. patrick holmes was looking for a 2nd title in 4 years against the philadelphia eagles, but it was his rival quarterback jaylen hertz who dominated the early stages. this was the 1st of 3 rushing touchdowns on the night for the 24 year old. the
