ah, ah ah, ah ah, this is do you have you news live from berlin? the earthquake death toll and syria and turkey exceeds 35000. united nations warns that number could double also on the program, the white house says there is no evidence of alien activity linked to mystery flying objects. you just have shot down united states and china trade, blame over alleged by bullets and thousands rally against government plans to

reform israel's judiciary. opponents say the proposals are a threat. is democracy? ah, i mind bluecross. welcome to the program. the earthquake death told syria turkey has exceeded 35000 people. yeah, nation says that number could still double as rescue and recovery efforts go on. but us hopes dwindle of pulling more people out of the rubble alive. the un says it's shifting focus to finding shelter for survivors. a moment of joy and relief, a young girl is pulled out to lie from the rubble. after 7 and a half days trapped under collapsed building. the go named mary, was found in a town in southern turkey by groups of rescue workers tirelessly digging to find

remaining survivors. it is difficult and often dangerous work inside a super dangerous the collapse. food cannot just go inside and you should be really careful. so not to harm the people inside that kind of thing and talking hard thinking with our nails. one by one floor is very slow. but over a week after the earthquake devastated parts of turkey in syria, the chances of finding people still trapped alive, dwindles with each passing hour. there is a sign of hope for the millions of earthquake victims in north west syria. after the country's president, bashar al assad said he will allow 2 new crossing points to the much needed humanitarian aid to reach the rebel held region. a move welcomed internationally. the assad regime has consistently argued against additional humanitarian crossings

. but if the regime is serious about this, and if the regime is willing to put those words into action, that would be a good thing for rms hearing people. immediate help is needed for millions of people in both syria and turkey. as rescue operations for survivors and to their final days, the death toll from the devastation is predicted to rise dramatically. d w julia has been traveling across southern turkey. she's currently in a donna gave us her impressions a week are from the earthquakes. well, to be honest, it is at times very difficult for me to describe what we witness here on the ground because the scale of the destruction and the scale of the grief is just so huge is very difficult to comprehend. like mesa and her family, many survivors have been waiting for days and nights next to collapsed buildings desperately waiting for their loved ones to be retrieved. we have seen how their

hopes have slowly faded and many people just now want the chance to say their final goodbyes. we do still see miracle rescue stories on turkish television, but experts say that the chances of finding more survivors are now very, very slim. and many buildings were so poorly constructed that they just collapsed into very tiny pieces, leaving very few spaces for people to survive in. you know, the human body can only survive for so long without water and food. add to that, the freezing temperatures at night. we don't know how many people he had died of hypothermia under the rebels. so the initial rescue efforts in the 1st days are now changing into a giant operation to retrieve dead bodies and to remove the rubble. and this is a bit of reality. many people are now slowly, you know, understanding and trying to come to terms with united states is still working to

identify recently doubt objects spotted in north american aerospace us fiber jets on sunday, shot down where they described as an 8 sided object over like euro longer katie border. it's the latest incident since a suspected chinese surveillance balloon was blown out of the sky earlier this month. the white house says the objects do not pose an immediate threat on the ground. this is the moment a u. s. jack shot down a big white balloon, which washington believed could be a sophisticated chinese spying device. it 1st entered u. s. territory in late january, and we'll shut down off the coast of south carolina on february 4th. since then, 2 smaller objects have been shot down over alaska and canada, and another one over michigan. the uncertainty around the last 3 mysterious object has raised concerns over north american security. and among some even fewer

speculation over an alien invasion. the white house has responded to these claims with amusement and good afternoon. there is no indication of aliens or terrestrial activity with these recent take downs. wanted to make sure that the american people knew that all of you knew that. and it was important for us to say that from here because we've been hearing a lot about it, only the white balloon has so far been linked to china. investigators are analyzing fragments recovered at c, hoping to find out more good beating and says to the balloon was conducting whether research and has rejected any connection to the last 3 objects. berkener on the other 2, are you? yeah, we have stated many times may for china's civilian unmanned airship entered the us aerospace accidentally, which was an unexpected accident. due to force missouri majority ball, maybe one of the 100,

as for the 3 other so called unidentified flying objects like her and i have no information. i don't. okay. make war. oh make was, i mean, the alleged, i'm a, should you show, you know, after years of mistrust, these latest tensions highlight yet another downturn in us. china relations. kelly grayco is a senior fellow at the stimson center to security policy thing taken washington. earlier. i asked her to walk us through what we do and don't know. as i would say, there's actually a lot we don't know right now. there are really more questions and answers. what i think is important, understand is that the 1st incident of the surveillance chinese rounds bloom that cross united states is quite different from these other incidents. it was much larger. you can sense in the white house, the pentagon's response, they're highly competent. that was a chinese surveillance balloon. these other 3 incidents, the unidentified object as they're calling it is much smaller. whereas the 1st

balloon was about the size of 2 bosses. this one is about the size of a small car, and they're now reporting that they don't believe that these other 3 balloons had communications equipment associated with them if they are balloons. so i think there's a, there's a important difference between the, the, the, the 1st incident and the other 3 and a lot we just don't really know about the latter 3 in particular. right? so this, this, this hypersensitivity because one thing happened, we see that nor right is adjusting their radar is making it more sensitive or we just seeing more things that maybe are always there. how do you assess the situation? i think that's exactly right. and that it's quite clear that after this 1st incident, nor right is even if dollars, if they adjusted their radar. and one of the things with radars is you're looking for objects that are of concern of interest to you and part of what you need to do that is to filter out a lot of noise. and traditionally we have thought of noise being objects that are

really small, and that are moving slowly. i've just course described a balloon to you. and so there was an effort to try to make the rate are more sensitive, so they would pick up more of these potential balloons if they're out there. and of course, one of the problems with that is we're now seeing a lot more objects. and as a result, it's really not clear whether this was even a tiny origin, or if it could have been maybe something you know, from the united states as a civilian youth or a research. right, so let's look at the global sturdy picture because whatever the facts may actually be, it doesn't take a lot for things to possibly spin out of control, regardless of what ultimately these objects are. and this is coming at a time of increased chinese and american tensions. is there a bigger global security impact here, or are these just isolated incidents? no, i think there is a much bigger security impact here in part because this incident is happening at a time of deteriorating us chinese relations. and it's being fit into

a larger narrative about china being a threat in about competition and a need for the united states. to become much more serious about the china threat. and both parties in some ways are trying to almost bid each other. and they're, you know, hawkish ness towards china. i would just say, i think there is a real opportunity here for some kind of diplomacy around this issue. you know, one of the 1st to try to did was note, it's regret about this incident. that's highly unusual. and i would just suggest that there is an opening there with that statement for the white house to perhaps engage with aging, particularly around the in the issue of surveillance balloons, and maybe setting up some rules of the road. right. kelly greek there with the latest. what we do and don't know about these objects over american airspace coming to us from washington. thanks very much. thank you. and now trying to some other stories making news right now. a national state of emergency has been declared in

new zealand after psycho gabriella, cause widespread flooding, landslides and ocean swells. it's only the 3rd time that such an alert has been issued. tens of thousands of homes are without power. some residents forced to evacuate from some of the worse affected areas on the countries. although in president my, a sandy has accused russia of plotting to overthrow her country's government using foreign saboteurs. disguised as protesters. statement comes out, the ukranian president, amir lensky, ukrainian uncovered details of the russian plan. moscow has not responded to the accusations. thousands of demonstrators have rallied outside israel's parliament against plan traditional reforms. opponent say, the proposed changes attack democracy. the measures would give the government more power over the supreme court. government officials, by contrast,
