joined the race for the white house in 22004. she previously said she would not stand against her old boss. donald trump. ah, i'm the cough really shower viewers on p b. s. in the united states and all around the world, of course welcome. ukraine's western allies have been meeting in brussels to discuss further military assistance when the fight jets or tanks, it has to be a capability. and this is why we have to be little old tier that when we send something that then we send a full chain of that capability. so it's too early for fighter jets. you think then, i mean, but again, a month ago they weren't getting any tanks and now today, 11 countries said they're sending tanks. oh, for my point of view, it's never too early. so because a gray needs not only for the jets,
9:02 pm
they also need a defense and urgently defense because they need to protect their and to keep their a clean. and you know they need training urgently. so we are doing that in stony are many other countries are doing that, but still it's not enough. so we have to speed up the training. we have to speed up the deliver of the tanks. we have to speed up the delivery of the ammunition. so the crane needs everything, we can send them and it's very like urgent need what they need. ammunition is one of the most urgent needs and that hasn't scaled up as fast as, as ukraine needs it to i'm so, so what do you, what do you think about that? it seems that contracts haven't been signed as quickly as, as one would think. yes, well we need these that we need to have the contracts with the industry, otherwise they will not produce a 2nd or more than what i propose also here to days that we need a joint acquisition of ammunition. and my like concrete proposal was that we should buy jointly at least 1000000 rollins, 155 millimeter how it's her aunts. so this is sir my proposal and i made
9:03 pm
a proposal that european commission will proceed with that. so let's see how quickly they can move on. or then 40000 people are now known to have been killed in the earthquakes and syria and turkey. united nation says it's the worst natural disaster in the region. in a 100 years, the focus of the un operation is on caring for people who've been made homeless, but emergency crews haven't given up on the search for survivors and people are still being found alive. more than a week trapped under rubble, 17 year old mohammed is pulled out alive and got home on mirage in turkey near the epi center of the devastating earthquake he is carry to an ambulance mohammed, brother, becky, is rescued soon after. but hopes of finding more survivors are fading fast. rescue teams are scaling back operations. the focus in both turkey in syria is shifting
9:04 pm
instead to helping survivors. first with immediate relief, like food watering shelter, and then assisting them long term. the rescue phase and is dragging live people out from the rubble and finding those who died in the rubble that's coming to a close. and now the you my turn phase. the urgency of providing shelter psycho social care food schooling and a sense of the future for these people. that's our obligation ago. serious infrastructure was already battered from over a decade of civil war. in some areas, the earthquake brought total devastation liking government controlled aleppo. people are waiting for shelter, tense and blankets, but mistrust of the regime runs deep. many fear the 8 coming into the country will not reach them. serious government has so far only allowed 8 to rebel areas through
9:05 pm
one border crossing probably, but in an unprecedented move. but it says it's reopening 2 additional land crossings with turkey. syria supported the entry of humanitarian aid into the region through old porcelain cross points, with ever from inside syria or across the border. for the period of 3 months is displaced, syrians living in dire conditions in the rebel health northwest can only hope the promises kept the own channel. in turkey, the disaster destroyed 10 cities. at least 40000 buildings collapsed or were severely damaged. many now need to be demolished, turkeys government has been accused of a slow response to the quake net relief and long term reconstruction are set to be
9:06 pm
a major challenge multi up with, along with housing, the millions who are suddenly left homeless. earlier i talked to a kid, mia moto, the global sea of mia moto international, a disaster management firm. and i asked him why last week's earthquakes caused such massive destruction? well, 1st of all, this is a huge, huge year, okay? symbol and a in 715 back back. that's something that we haven't seen duffle quite a long time. and it's a quite densely populated effect. about 10 to 50000000 people. so talking about 40000 fidelity out of 10, millers a point 04 percent, or something we expect for quite a long time. fingers are now being pointed at the authorities, but also at building contractors. who do you think is to blame here? well, i mean, the 1st of all, yeah, the truck is building code change in a around
9:07 pm
a 2000 late 99 a late at night night. 1997. a. so okay. before the highs make was never been a consideration. anything billed prior to that? we have seen that there is no earth cake resistive components at all, so they are really dangerous. there's a lot of stuff didn't like that today. i was in a city with die as a incredible i'm talking about probably 90 to 95 percent building stock in certain areas completely flatten because as old are building stocks now also at one thing though, a turkey does not have the license system here. they do have a great education system. do have a good engineers. good. have a good building, go to by the way, and good contractors has no license or contractors and engineers and there's no technical inspection during the construction record. is that mean that anybody can go ahead and build an apartment building?
9:08 pm
yeah. when yeah, you get a contractor if you want. sure. you get, i'm gonna put this. i was little contractors here. they tried to do good thing, you know, and they still like they wanna cheat or kill people. they don't do that. they just try to do good thing. that's one thing i know. but prom, it is a, there is no engineers of the buys them. how to do it, you know, i mean, so there's like, it's not about the blame, an individual, more like a system, a system have to change of this license system and inspection, process and stuff like that was saved in 10000 lives. so question. yeah, tens of thousands of buildings have been destroyed, which i thought there in the report. how long will it take to make the affected areas livable again? well, i mean, you're going to see so area here we see a shoes, destruction. i'm talking about 89 percent of building stocks gone. i mean, just horrible. it look like, i mean, i go through a great
9:09 pm
a lot for law jobs and it's worse here. actually, just amazing destruction was by this a natural you been and i think certain area will take years. but churches, government, you know, let me do. i know people talking about threats and gotten in. we often slow that's actually still true compared to what's going on. international, this come in actually at the movies really fast, even bass and maybe shoes or some places. it's a huge event that they're doing the best they can for i can see it. i would say a certain area will take probably 3 for 5 years. but people day charters, people in the government, they were determined to make this happen. you will do that, but there's a many things you can go much faster do by the way. there's a lot of beauty that can be repaired really quickly. i think death to me like a little low hanging fruit. hit me a lot o. thank you very much. thank you. and let's get you up to speed now and some other
9:10 pm
stories making headlines around the world today. you and secretary general antonio terrace has warned that global warming is fueling unprecedented. sea level rises that threaten nearly 900000000 people around the world. he called for urgent action to limit warming and to prepare for the huge potential numbers of climate refugees from coastal areas. when the european parliament has approved a law banning the sale of new fossil fuel powered cars within the european union by 2035, the measure is part of the blocks efforts to become climate neutral by 2050 china's president, she do ping has hailed the close relationship between beijing and terran, uranian leader abraham roy. isi is on a 3 day visit to china with a focus on strengthening trade and economic ties. equatorial guinea has confirmed its 1st outbreak of the marburg viras a highly contagious disease related to ebola. 9 people have died and more than 200
9:11 pm
are in quarantine. former you as a master to the united nations, nikki haley has announced she's running for the republican presidential nomination and 2024. she's the 2nd contender to join the race after her one time boss, the former president, donald trump, the 51 year old former south carolina governor is pitching herself as a new face to lead a generational shift in the republican party. but a recent pulling shows and just 4 percent of republican voters back hailey while 43 percent support trump. i'm nikki haley and it's great to be a more. let's go to mckayla cooper. now in washington, mckayla 4 percent. that is not much. is nikki haley a danger for trump? could she really when the primaries? well, let me ask the counter question. nobody believed it. nobody. in the eldest, you asked in 2016 that donald trump would when, when he went into the primary race,
9:12 pm
everybody thought he would drop out pretty early and he wouldn't be any threats. now we are in a trump party that still the republicans. and yes, it depends on whether you believe in the early polling nikki haley. after all, is someone who one could described as a person who has mastered navigating donald trump probably like nobody else. she went from somebody warning against him to someone who says something like this, this isn't it. i would not run in and i would talk to him about it. that's something that will have a conversation about it. that decision is something that has to be made, but yeah, i would actually, i hadn't great working relationship with him. i appreciated the way he let me job. i thought we did some fantastically great things together
9:13 pm
well and that fantastically great policy. it was amongst other things pulling out of the iran nuclear deal. so she went from someone warning against dentist is for to someone who is now running against. and donald trump, for his part, wish her good luck at this moment in time. it looks like she will still need it. what are her real chances you say, you know the u. s. is always open for surprises, but, but realistically, does she have a shot? well, she's a 2nd person to declare. she's the 1st person except for donald trump. we're still waiting to hear from rhonda santas who everybody expects to declare the governor of florida. also, former vice president of donald trump, mike pence is also expected to enter the race to others are also potential. so it's really very much early days. the more people during the primaries, the more likely mathematically become for donald trump, to pull through the end to once again become the wild card. this is a party that isn't in
9:14 pm
a turmoil. it is fighting with itself over the very person from one thing is for sure, though, that trump is them, will survive into this next election campaign. and here the question is whether nikki haley who entered the race making a big thing about her immigrant legacy. her parents came from india and, and at the same time, she was someone who really back trump during his heyday, is also un ambassador. whether she will find a way to navigate this and actually oppose them and to become that new generation. she said that the party once and clearly the desire is there, but who will fit that bill? i have question marks whether nikki haley really would become the person to do that wrong. dissenters looks like the more popular count it for now. i quickly want to ask you about the timing. why did she announcer candidacy so early? while she beat, the most likely contended,
9:15 pm
according to the polls run to santa certainly to it. i think she's the one who's taking the greatest risk, the late a you declare the clearer the picture. but i think her. 8 calculation is also that she probably wants to attract campaign funding to her. a pretty early on. we know that there is big money lined up behind the scenes to oppose donald trump, whatever that means. here we're likely to see iran de santis that really get more traction as sitting a governor. but it is a calculation for her, but it certainly gave her a lot more time than some of the other candidates. probably get further down the line. mikaela keep now watch it, and thanks for that update. on german choreographer michael garcia is under police investigation for smearing dog feces in the face of a critic who gave him a bad review. the attack took place at the opera house in the city of hanover, gulker is bally director. the journalist says go could confronted her during the inner raw of a ballet before taking
9:16 pm
a bag of dog feces out of his pocket and shoving it in her face. all the story is certainly making headlines around the world and david levitz from the deli is culture desk, is here to walk us through it. if this is not the kind of story we usually talk about, is it? no, it's not, it's not. and it's, it's sort of shocking to see that this is probably the world's best known choreographer at the moment. and also the world's best known dance critic at the moment. and it has nothing to do with their work it's. it's really something out of a bad teenage movie. so my co worker is actually a very prominent choreographer. he's very well known here in germany. he won germany's top dance prize last year, furious at v q, who star his victim here. she's known as probably the dance critic with the sharpest tongue in germany. very formidable, very well respected. and she recently criticize a work of his calling it an embarrassment. she said that she went insane
9:17 pm
watching it, that she also died with. she said she was killed by boredom, watching it very harsh criticism, obviously. and when i saw her at the theater, he decided to confront her group because also known as quite a, quite a character. he usually keeps his dog as docs and gustavo with him, and it happened that he had just taken good stuff for a walk and decided to save stubs excrement, to use as a weapon against the dance critic of the dance critic says that she screamed and she went to wash her face off and finally she went to the police. all right, so there is a police investigation. now ben has got good faith, other kinds of consequences already. yes, he's been suspended immediately from his job. he's not allowed to go inside the opera house at the same time. there's another company that he works for in stuttgart who, which is that they will continue working with him. so there was this question,
9:18 pm
will he will he have work? will anyone want to work with him? apparently there are people who still do want to work with him even after this. and there is a police investigation actually on the one hand for bodily harm. and the other is insult. it's not legal, it's illegal to insult someone here in germany. so that's also a crime that they're investigating. they was obviously upset what followed was nothing short of bizarre. but what, as i came down and say, well, he's made a few statements which are basically in the, sorry, not sorry category. he most recently apologized for losing his temper. but at the same time, he really doubled down and continued to blame the journalists that he attacked by saying that she had basically done the same to him, figuratively, with her words for, for many, many years. and he's, he's obviously in a, in a space where he's not ready to fully make an apology for what he's done. and how has
9:19 pm
germany's culture is seen, reacted to this very strongly for the, the theater that he was employed, at least the one in hanover has, has criticize him really. in the harshest terms, they said that he endangered the careers of the 30 dancers that he works with and damaged the theaters reputation. the frankfurt i good minded sites on that, which is the newspaper of the journalist works for one of the top. 2 newspapers here in journal, in germany, has basically said that this was an attack on press freedom. and that's the line that a lot of journalists have taken across germany. very strong condemnation. it. let's thank you so much. and reminder of the top stories were falling for you. it grains western allies have met to discuss further military assistance for team you as defense. secretary lloyd austin said that they will remain united and resolute for as long as it takes the chairman of the u. s. joint chiefs of staff mark mealies that russia has effectively already lost. the war
