about our complex relationship with animals. well i think i will live long enough to witness the end of factory farming. the great debate this week on dw, or ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. the earthquake desk on syria and turkey exceed $35000.00 united nations borns. that number could double also on the program. the white house says there is no evidence of alien activity linked in mystery fly objects that us jets have shot down. the us and china trade,

blame over legit spy, bullets and new zealand declare the national emergency for only the 3rd time ever as the country is based. widespread flooding. this time may powerful cycling. ah i'm lamba craft welcome to the program. the earthquake deaf toll in syria and turkey has exceeded 35000 people in the nation, says that number could still double as rescue and recovery efforts go on. but as hopes dwindle of pulling more people out of the rebel alive, you went says it's shifting focus to finding shelter for survivors. a moment of joy and relief, a young girl is pulled out to life from the rubble of to 7 and a half days. under collapsed building. oh, the girl 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. being inside the super dangerously collapse. food cannot just go inside and you should be really careful not to harm the people you inside me. i like kind of, you see and talking hard thinking with our nail one by one floor is shorter slowly . but over a week after the earthquake devastated parts of turkey and 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 for the much needed humanitarian aid to reach the rebel held region. a move welcomed internationally

or the assad regime has are 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 enter their final days, the death toll from the devastation is predicted to rise dramatically. the united states is still working to identify recently down objects spotted over north american aerospace, us fighter jets on sunday, shot down what they described as an 8 sided object overlake her on along the canadian border. it's the latest incident since they suspected chinese surveillance balloon was blown out of the sky earlier this month. whitehouse says the objects do not pose an immediate threat to those on the ground. this is the moment

a u. s. jack shot down a big white balloon, which washington believes could be a sophisticated chinese spying device. it 1st and set us territory in late january and was shot 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 or analyzing frank mans recovered at sea, hoping to find out more teaching and shift the balloon was conducting weather research and has rejected any connection to the last 3 objects. virgina will be out there today. we have stated many times the china's civilian unmanned airship entered the u. s. aerospace accidentally, which was an unexpected accident due to force missouri which we all maybe wanted a 100 as for the 3 others, so cold, unidentified flying objects. i'm not here and i have no information on ok. make well make would. i mean that actual ma should you show, you know, after years of miss tossed these latest tensions highlight yet another downturn and us china relations tele, grayco is a senior fellow at the simpson center,

a security policy think tank in washington. earlier i asked her to walk us through what we do, and i don't know as i would say, there's actually a lot we don't know right now there are really more questions than answers. what i think is important, understand is that the 1st incident of the surveillance 20 surveillance balloon that cross the united states is quite different from these other incidents. it was much larger. you can sense in the white house in pentagon's response that 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 bob 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 have communications equipment associated with them if they are below. 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 there's this, this hypersensitivity because one thing happened. we see that nor right, as 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 is even at dollars, that they adjusted their radar. and one of the things with radars is you're looking for objects that are a 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 trainees origin or if it could have

been maybe something you know, from the united states. it's 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 hair. and part because this incident is happening in 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 outbid each other and their new hawkish nest 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 china did was note, it's regret about this incident, but highly unusual. and i would just suggest that there is an opening there with that statement for the white house to perhaps engage with ang, particularly around the, in the issue of surveillance balloons, and maybe setting up some rules of the road. all right, kelly rico there with the latest what we do and don't know about these objects over american air space coming to us from washington. thanks very much. thank you. cycling gabrielle has cause widespread damage and new zealand. some of the worst affected areas are on the countries north island for just a 3rd time ever. officials have declared a national state of emergency it's been described as a significant disaster. and in hawkes bay on new zealand north island. so i clone gabrielle has left a trail of devastation. the storm hit the country with wind gusts of more than 140
