lou with ah ah, is it either way you news, lying from berlin, ukraine's western ally say they're doing all they can to keep keeps of lied with ammunition. dozens of countries meet and brussels to discuss ukraine's appeal for more heavy weapons, including fighter jets. also on the programmed. united nation says the earthquakes and turkey and syria are the regions worse natural disaster in a century. but more than a week on emergency crews are still pulling survivors from the rubble. and nikki

haley, a former us ambassador to the united nations, joined the race for the white house in 2024. she previously said she would not stand against her old boss, donald trump. ah, i'm to call for like, it's good to have you with us. he craves western allies have been meeting and brussels to discuss further military assistance for keep us defense. secretary lloyd austin says they're doing all they can to keep ukrainian forces supplied with ammunition. some 50 nations, including nato members, have been taking part in the talks. germany is to fast track delivery of anti aircraft ammunition, but there has been no announcement on whether ukraine's request for fighter jets will be met. ukraine says this is a fight for its survival. as the winter begins to thaw,

all the united states warns russia is preparing fresh attacks and deploying new troops to the battlefield. but washington says key if may soon have a window of opportunity. what ukraine wants to do in the, you know, at, at the 1st possible moment is to establish or create her a momentum and her in, and establish her conditions on a battlefield that continue to be in its favor. and so well, we expect to see them. i conduct an offensive sometime in the spring to fulfill their promise to keep sending keys weapons. nato nations need more arms and munitions as their own stock piles. dwindle. germany says it's now signed a contract to restart homegrown production lines for gepford antiaircraft guns sent to ukraine exec order. i'm very pleased. we've succeeded in doing this because it

will ensure even greater independence and foster delivery. it's particularly important for air defense in ukraine of it as old as it is. the captured performs outstanding services, particularly in defense against drones, out by that all up there. after securing pledges of western main battle tanks, keith is now setting its sites on the skies at nato headquarters, ukrainian defense minister alexi rest. nicole pulled out of pocket square depicting the next item on his weapons. wishlist western fighter jets good for the sky. but so far, there are no offers of modern aircraft, some site to complexity of these systems. others fear the risk of escalation. we have to debate this with our partners also with the united states. and we have to think about feasibility. and it is something that will take time and it is best done behind closed doors or to see what is possible, what is not possible, what the consequences would be. nato officials now warn this more has become

a race of logistics. and speed they say will save lives. i asked either way of corresponding economy and keep how big of a factor logistical issues are for the soldiers on the battlefield in ukraine. well, it's something you hear time and time again. i don't know where my next years supply mix delivery of munitions are going to come from. what i'm going to do with the equipment i have, you could have all the how it says oil to re pieces in the world. but if you don't have the ammunition you're stuck and you're any kind of amount of experience and bravery isn't really going to do much about that. and we see now this was kind of moving into her slower phase of morgan position warfare. and this is basically about how much each side ukraine with this western beckers and rush can mobilize their economies and produce enough repre enough munitions and get them to their soldiers fast enough. so there's a real push here in ukraine, real awareness that this is crucial. now, especially given that russia spent the last couple months building up,

the supplies and training. hello people to come and fight in ukraine. the weeks months come near g against oldenburg says the key of neither ammunition more than it needs fighter jets. but he was still asking for those aircraft we just saw on the report so clearly differing expectations on display and today's meeting i think steve thinks that they can get both. i think the history of this was shown that ukraine basically needs to ask for the more complex systems far in advance and make a lot of noise. a rub people up the wrong way, be pushy, and then eventually those red lines drawn by western leaders. so as not to provoke russia are then eventually dropped. so i think there's expectation here, but that is just par for the course that you know, there will be lots refusals before you kind of actually gets these planes and dimensions are coming as well. we've also heard the emissions being basically brought up around the world reports of pakistani made missions for soviet systems in south korea, selling supposedly some nations to the states and other than being handed over to

the ukrainians. so real kind of world wide search for these systems now, just to an out ukraine to protect itself, given that there's this expectation of a russian watson in kind of the latter weeks of this winter in the early part of the spring. yeah, russia has, in fact, started intensifying at the sauce as the 1st anniversary of the war approach at western battle. tanks will take weeks, possibly months to get to ukraine to how well prepared are ukrainian troops offend off rushes offensive without them. when you talked the military experts, they say the tanks are mainly most important for ukraine in its capacity than retake charge for ukraine to go into effect. so for defense to current situation, it doesn't quite require tanks on the same scale as a potential attempt to take back last church. he would, but definitely there is a sense here that western countries, even if they are trying to be supportive, you can't just don't get the scale of this war. they don't, you know, they haven't experienced a war on the scale being full to hundreds and 1000 kilometers. you know, we heard the sick in recent days that,

that present ukraine is shooting. as many shells as many european countries would you purchase in a year in the space of 24 hours, this is just a different scale, different pace. and the kind of desperation, i think you have to really bring that across. bring that message across to westport and see the max acting on italy, a corresponding economy and keep always great speaking to you. more than 40000 people are now known to have been killed in the earthquakes and syria and turkey. the 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 marsh and turkey nerdy at the 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 to focus in both turkey in syria is shifting instead to helping survivors. first with immediate relief, like food, water, and shelter, and then assisting them long term. the rescue phase 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 humanitarian 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 one border crossing, probably, but in an unprecedented move. but it says it's reopening 2 additional land crossings with turkey, syria support. 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, his displace syrians living in dire conditions and the rebel health northwest can only hope the promises kept sunk own. tell them of them. in turkey, the disaster destroyed 10 cities. at least 40000 buildings collapsed or worse

severely damaged. many now need to be demolished. turkeys government has been accused of a slow response to the quake didn't a relief and long term reconstruction are set to be a major challenge, help deal with. along with housing, the millions who are suddenly left homeless former us ambassador 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, 51 year old former south carolina governor is pitching herself as a new face to lead a generational shift in the republican party. a recent polling shows that just 4 percent of republican voters back halley, while 43 percent support. trump. that evening, i'm nicky. i asked our corresponding mikaela approved on washington if nikki

hailey's candidacy poses any danger for donald trump and whether she could really win the primaries. well, let me ask account a question. nobody believed really nobody in the eldest to austin 2016 that donald trump would when, when he went into the primary race, 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 or the polling. nikki haley after school 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. you know, that's something that will have a conversation about at some point. that decision is something that has to be made,

but yeah, i would absolutely. i had a great working relationship with him. i appreciated the way he let me job. i thought we did some fantastically great things together well, and that fantastically great policy 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 him. 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 the 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 join the primaries, the more likely mathematically it becomes fidelmo term to pull through the end to once again become the wild card. this is a party that is an in 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, where the 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 it all says un ambassador, whether she will find a way to navigate this and actually oppose him 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 candidate. for now, i quickly want to ask you about the timing. why did she announcer candidacy so early? while she beat the most likely content that according to the polls rhonda, sounded suddenly to it. i think she's the one who's taking the greatest risk. the late to 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 as time than some of the other candidates. probably get further down the line making i can watch it and thanks for that update. that's all for me for now,

but don't leave just yet. stephen beardley is here next with your business update. he looks at why wall street is not impressed by the latest years inflation figures article really from me and the entire team here in our newsroom and berlin. thank you so much for your company. i enjoying the view. come take a look at this tv highlights every week in your inbox, subscribe now for the amount of cost is increasing every year, many im gonna working on lunch with holiday destinations and drowning in plastic white wine and at the causes.
