12:05 am
and russia can mobilize their economies and produce enough repre enough munitions and get them to their soldiers fast enough. so who is a real push here and 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. dw nick connelly, they are reporting from key of the death toll from the earthquakes in syria and turkey has risen to more than 40000. the united nations says it's the worst natural disaster in the region for a century focused the you and operation is on caring for people who've been made homeless for 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 for 17 year old mohammed is pulled out alive and caught him on mirage in turkey. near d at the center of the devastating earthquake he scary to an ambulance. mohammed's brother becky,
12:06 am
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 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, syria's 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,
12:07 am
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 public foot, 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 is displaced, syrians living in dire conditions and the rebel health northwest can only hope the promises kept sunk home. sell them alone. in turkey, the disaster destroyed 10 cities, at least 40000 buildings collapsed or were severely damaged. many now need to be
12:08 am
demolished. turkeys government has been accused of a slow response to the quake did. annette 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 or corresponded. jack barrack sent us this report from ghazi, and tap in the southern and southern turkey where thousands have been left homeless . this he is a municipal park in central guys. the an tap is a southern turkish city of about 2000000 people. and as you can see, a number of tents have been erected here to house refugees who had to flee their homes in the earthquake now many of the homes that they have to, that they had to flee with ones up on this hill just here or in a local area around here, and essentially the authorities haven't been able to tell these people that their
12:09 am
homes are safe, yet they haven't been checked or the homes are not safe. but in a lot of cases as well, the people are to traumatize and too worried to return back to their homes, fearing the structural damage that may have taken place during the earthquakes. now, one of the big issues in this camp is access to tens. this serial family told us just now that they had to wait 2 days in order to get a 10 or many people have had to wait many, many more days than that. there are quite a lot of syrians here, people that fled the war in the past 5 to 10 years and made a home in this part of turkey and then have had to flee those homes once again, due to the earthquake that hit this area, just over a week ago, there are also local turks and kurdish people living here as well. now, well, this park might not be an ideal place and certainly wasn't designed to house this kind of 10 city. there are some facilities here that make it a relatively good place for them to have set this up. for instance,
12:10 am
there are toilet blocks already here that people can use as a library just on the way over there that has been turned into a makeshift clinic. now one of the big concerns for the people that are living in these tens, especially from, for the ones that aren't actually from this part of gas yann's had, is that within 60 days, they will have to return back to their local municipality to register. and they don't know what they'll be, whether they'll be able to return to these tens afterwards. but the ones that the 10s are actually the lucky ones for everyone else hasn't managed to get 10. yes, that's sleeping on the floors in these buildings and the situation that isn't very nice for them as they wait for a slightly more permanent place to live. there are 8 organizations here providing food and water medicine, but there's a lot of fear for the people here. they just don't know what's going to happen in the coming days and weeks. let's get you up to speed now on some of the other
12:11 am
stories making headlines around the world. in new zealand, at least 2 people were killed and more than 200000 left without electricity. after the country was hit by psycho gabrielle authorities have declared a national state of emergency to deal with the extensive damage to rental rains, triggered flooding, and land fives that rec. havoc on roads and infrastructure. the european parliament has a proved a law banning the sale of new fossil fuel powered cars within the european union from 2035, the measure as part of the blocks effort to become climate neutral by 2050 former us ambassador to the united nations. nikki haley has announced she's running for the republican presidential nomination in 2024. she's the 2nd contender to join the race after her one time boss for president donald trump. 51 year old former southern carolina governor is pitching herself as a new face to lead
12:12 am
a generational shift and republican party. but recent polling shows that just 4 percent of republican voters back hailey, while 43 percent support from him. i'm nikki haley and it's great. w washington correspondent mckayla true now is following this story for us and sent us this assessment of hailey's chances. well, the now so by nikki haley wasn't surprising and yes at around 4 percent. she doesn't really sound like a big threat for donald trump himself, who is still way ahead in the polling. but she does have a unique quality. she would be the 1st woman she has a migratory background. and whoever you ask you in washington will tell you that she has navigating. trump isn't down to a fine art. after all, she went from someone who opposed trump in 2016 warning of a siren. trump one shouldn't follow to becoming her. you an ambassador. and to vowing this, let's take it, i would not run it and i will talk to them about it. you know,
12:13 am
that's something that we'll have a conversation about at some point that decision is something that has to be made, but yeah, i would actually, i hadn't great working relationship with them. i appreciated the way he let me my job. i thought we did some fantastically great thing. so she was one of trumps closest eyes. and now she says she's running herself. donald trump, himself is wish her good luck. he says that the 2 spoke about it and she comes across is someone who is acutely aware of the trump, his legacy in the party, that this could potentially outlive donald trump himself. and that's why she's framing herself as a new generation. but of course, there are other contenders, most importantly, ron de santis, the governor of florida, who is way ahead of her and the polls. second to only donald trump himself. now he hasn't declared yet himself,
12:14 am
but we do expect that to happen. nikki haley is very early on, probably trying to get more media attention and potentially more money from the donors. so the field isn't crowded right now. she isn't a threat, but nobody expected donald trump to be threat to anybody back in 2016 and yet he got elected. so this is a very open race. and the big question mark is with a nikki, haiti will be able to get more traction. and what the reaction will be when the field gets more crowded. one thing is for sure, because that's mathematics. the more crowded the republican field gets, the better it is for donald trump to be a wildcard, once again in 2024. while the red carpet is being rolled out here in berlin, ahead of the opening of one of the world's biggest public film festivals,
