also coming up on the show. balloons shot down over chief ukraine, says it has eliminated suspected surveillance aircraft. as russia ramps up it's attacks on the ground and in the air. and the german capital gears up for the start of its annual film festival. the berlin outlet will bring you a taste of what's coming to the silver screen this year. ah. hello, i'm clear, richardson, thank you so much for joining us. more than a week after the devastating earthquakes in turkey and syria that have so far claimed more than 40000 lives, rescuers are still pulling people out alive from under the rubble. a mother and her child were carried away on stretchers in high province after being freed. they had been buried in the debris for 9 days falling the earthquake. turkish media are

reporting a 2nd child was also rescued, and all 3 are now receiving medical care and hospital. i spoke earlier to our correspondent mohammed traitor in adena, and he told us how much longer we can expect rescue efforts to continue by some miraculous tales off survival, nearly 10 days after that. that way, all bodies are being pulled out from the rubble and less survivors are being found . now, the social phoenician for people on the when that will, may still be alive, hasn't been officially, that's suspended, but rescue missions on the in the coming to. and then after are shifting to getting released to survivors and shelter for the home. the now the turkish government is encouraging people whose homes are still standing to go back home if possible. how likely do you think people are to actually do that

devastating earthquake left hundreds of thousands homeless now a few buildings and the impact of areas are still standing in quite decent shape, but residents are so traumatized and afraid to return that to their homes, especially that after trucks are still reoccurring and can be felt every now and then, people are at other staying in emergency shelter and in major stance on the sidewalk . and there's probably more trouble brewing in those make shift. camps isn't there . many of these areas are missing. basic sanitation are we looking here also at the potential threat of an impending public health emergency? definitely reports suggest that some 26000000 people across turkey and media have been affected by the cause of them need the urgent humanitarian assistance. the needs are huge and increasing by the hour or the one have the world health organization expressed. growing concerns over emerging health issues lead to the

cold weather hygiene and sanitation, and a w h or warn about a potential threat of the fact that this is placing a huge thing on the health system, which was already badly damaged by the disaster. we thank you so much for reporting with our correspondent mama traitor. in adena i was mentioned the staggering number of people who have died in the earthquakes in turkey. many are being buried in mass graves, making it difficult for loved ones to find them. as did all these jack paris reports, some grades are still unmarked. a warning to our viewers that his report contains distressing images. the unmistakable sound of grief. ah, these people have just identified the body of a loved one. at this graveyard on the outskirts of kara, mom,

marsh in southern tucker, miss duffer arrives in search of his child. has sent a letter hudson blush, him by the modem. i searched to hospitals for my baby, elegant, almost the room, but i want to bury my baby and to pray bottles also, and that's all i want. washing machine is no loss miss yesterday. and nurse told me my baby had died is all that i get. and that i should come here, but i showed me a photo outlet. now i'm here to find the gravy of miss lot wishing bill on a good at she been recovered in the seattle been miss stuff a goes to find his baby fans arrive here every few minutes throughout the day, each carrying up to 4 people who died in the earthquakes the national police force is coordinating the operation taking photos and fingerprints of the bodies, which they match up to a national data base in coordination with the interior ministry and the office of immigration. will if you will, i shall mother his me to the medium is josie,

led him is one our processes are done like there's still some bodies which can't be identified whomever southerner for them wouldn't to avoid any confusion in the future. in our knowledge. we take a biological sample for dna analysis, another which can be matched to blood samples from their family. slater miss. yup. all of you know, systems are in the nation to mrs. allah, missouri washing luchella's my of yours. there are 600 people working in this graveyard alone. each of the graves here has a number on it so that the families can come and find out exactly where their loved one has been buried. it is an extremely sad and extremely powerful scene. and the reality of this earthquake is that this is just one graveyard like this pretty much every city in the region has a similar one. around 95 percent of the buried have been identified for those whose families don't make it here in time. volunteers have come to treat the bodies before burial. gun them is danger. hutchison,

i wish every one was alive, assistant students on but were here treating the bodies as they should be treated in the islamic way, brother. yes, give the families peace of mind. law me shock larva khaki, cindy to rattle some few places, represent the horrors of the earthquake more than here and is more bodies of buried . more families walk to graveyard to find their final resting place. and more suspected sy, balloons this time in ukraine. authorities there say they've shot down russian balloons over chief that may have contained surveillance equipment. officials say of the 6 balloons detected only some have been brought down by ukraine's air defenses. the crown one has not yet commented on the reports, but meanwhile, russia is ramping off its attacks on areas of eastern ukraine. nato countries are responding to keeps call for support by promising to increase their production of

munitions for the ukrainian military. and for more, i'm joined by date of your correspondent nick connelly in cave. nick keep authorities saying most of the russian balloons over the capital have been shot down. what more can you tell us here? of now, claire, the details are pretty scant, but it does seem on one hand, this was about surveillance. yes. but also about trying to trick ukraine's air defenses. trying to basically send very cheap object seat cheap. yeah. kind of balloons and other kinds of systems across the border in the hope that ukraine will waste. it's very expensive and very limited stocks of anti aircraft missiles on these objects. we've heard, they sometimes include different bits of kind of metallic constructions that trick radar systems that can appear much bigger and much more threatening than they are in real life. and this is a kind of tactic that actually has been used, will be on the front lines for a lot longer, that it isn't actually something new. it's new only for care of and this part of

the country and behind closed doors have been hearing from you, cranium military. so, so, so from western politicians that actually one of ukraine's ports right now is getting re supply for it. and he, i caught systems that have been and he missed artist and sent by the west because those are really running low. and the wes ability to produce those or mass is also pretty limited to that is a real worry here that the kind of capacity of safety at least here in case we've had a response, could be under threat if those missiles don't get here in time. yeah, like i wanted to ask you about that nato countries promising to increase their production of artillery, munitions. what can they really produce fast enough to meet ukraine's military needs? i think there's never going to be enough. whenever you ask people here, they want everything now, and that is very understandable given the kind of losses that ukraine and it's all me are facing right now. but it does seem like weston, it's footer's ukraine, all kind of moving to a different level of support. they're not just giving stuff that they had in their supplies chains. they're actually, you know, giving manufacturer's financial guarantees and the ability to really plan and to

hire new staff to produce on totally different level we've been seeing in recent weeks. reports of the us scrambling to bring supplies emission to ukraine from say, south korea some, it's sold by south korea to the u. s. and then handed over to the ukrainians. even reports of pakistani made munitions, making their way to ukraine. so real can scramble there to just find anything to give you crenan soldiers kind of the option to return fire in place like buy more and it before i let you get back here importing, i can you give us an update from the battlefield? russia, of course, as intensified as a tax across southern and eastern ukraine. it's pretty difficult to report on the situation because access for jealous is very restrict, especially in place like by mood and also in lots of us. but it does seem yes that russia is desperate for anything that it can spin as a success, as progress. and it really throwing lots of resources and risking the lives of their soul to try and make progress. they had been claiming some progress in lou haskell. bless, which they control your almost 99 percent of its territory,

but no sense that this is a kind of turning point or kind of major development. but yes, a lot of pressure and very, very difficult situation right now for ukraine, especially given those, you know, problems, admissions, and logistics. thank you so much for that update. as our correspondent nick connelly and keith or russia's war in ukraine has fundamentally altered the perceived threat to security in europe. since the start of the war, nato has significantly ramped up its forces in the baltic states. at the request of the government, there larvae out lithuania and estonia all border russia and were once part of the soviet union. now they're members of nato and the european union. he w killian, bear has been to the emory airbase in estonia to look at nato's air policing mission, aimed at monitoring the skies for any unauthorized ration activity. thermal underwear, a water immersion suit boots, a g suit,

a life jacket and a helmet. it takes lieutenant colonel christoph hoffmeister just under 2 minutes to put it all on right next door. his euro fighter is refueled and armed with a 27 millimeter cannon, and air to air missiles ready for take off in under 15 minutes. zaccheus, the ones on or complex that's a very short time for such a highly complex system. hello sir. hello. it's no secret, but for all pilots, when you're fast asleep, when the alarm goes off the your pulse starts rising values. that's not the adrenalin kicks in, because you're trying to be ready heights as we completely awake shine, so that you can get your job done at day or at night is and splitting ones off like about half my stuff is the german detachment commander for nato's enhanced air policing mission in estonia, under his command on a mile re airbase or for euro fighter jets, their pilots, ground crew and support personnel. a total of around $150.00 soldiers. their

military mission is to protect the air space over the baltic states and to identify unknown and potentially hostile aircraft. just like the other baltic states, estonia has a very small air force and no fighter jets of its own. nato has been providing air support to estonia, latvia and lithuania since 2004. in 2014. after russia illegally annexed crimea, nato started a 2nd air policing mission and amory, where the germans are now stationed. i'm standing here on the estonian coastline and behind me in that direction is the gulf of finland. and this is where nato fighter jets are regularly scramble to, to intercept russian airplane, heading from st. petersburg to coline ground. after take off the jets need as little as 3 minutes to reach international air space and intercept their targets. russian military aircraft regularly fly with their flight transponders turned off

and do not communicate with aircraft controllers on the ground. a potential hazard for civilian air traffic. in this case, the loft buffer euro fighters are tasked to intercept the unknown aircraft and identify them. the melissa, so not normal when to fight a jet don't communicate in international airspace. i look on them in your approach and at craft that you're not in contact with facts and you don't know what the other guy's doing, what his intentions are, and what his flight path is going to. of course you are a bit more tense can it's been and is this an honest monta? kristoff hoffmeister and his soldiers are well prepared for all possible situations . together with other nato pilots, they secure the air space along the alliance eastern flank, 24 hours a day, all year round. and i'd like to welcome thomas. you're my love hsbc international center for defense and security in talent. estonia,

thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us almost a year ago. shortly after russia invasion, you wrote that nato must move immediately toward greater military preparedness. in your view, has it done enough to protect austonia and the other baltic states laws . and in with its summit, we saw a raft of commitments made to strengthening, couldn't tie houston black, not only is stony over the baltic states, and part of those commitments or was, are enhancing current the prisons of the allied forces in the baltic states. and now currently we are working on a number of arrangements with the lead nations. those that lead the anita in hands for war to a presence in each of the baltic states to, to install the new command control arrangements to, to probably send additional forces and into the region. but overall, nato is now moving to what the full, a new force model which will significantly enhance are the pool or for high readiness forces available to secure supreme allied commander, europe. and that's

a new model has to be in place by the end of this year. soon it given the size of the organization and given the how many countries are members of it, it is really moving really, really fast. now today the u. s. secretary of defense lloyd austin, is visiting estonia, where he's going to be meeting with it's prime minister and defense minister. what you expect we might see come out of best as that has been as strategic contributes, allow of the student and the baltic states. and in this regard, you know, we cultivate, it's very close defense relationship such because it's all routine part of it. but at the same time, it goes on the eve of person bursary or russia invasion and war against ukraine. which started actually on the stony as to independence day. so in that regard, this visit is due for a just dual gesture of, of appreciation and assurance,

appreciation of what his student is doing to support your brain. and also materially and, and also, you know, to reassure as the united states is going to stand by the united states is deploying additional forces to the region, infantry companies in each of the baltic states. hi marcy famous hi lars to to saw coming to to, to sonia. so in that regards to us is already doing quite a lot. and i think there will be a lot of practical discussions about how to support you for more and how to enhance the nato's deterrence. bullshit in the region. ok, now i also have to ask you about a report coming out from estonian intelligence recently. i think that they expect the war and ukraine will continue in 2023 and that russia believes that time is on its side. you know what they mean by that? well, we always said that in a given rush as resources and now increasing in a political will to a continue whatever the losses the course they have taken. this is going to be

a protracted wall and we have to mobilize our resources or to support you brain accordingly. to in that regard is new or great in, in even tear at that. russia will step back unless they are really decisively mold in ukraine. after that, we need to supply, you pray, and we have for our weapon systems that the require anticipate their needs better and, and really construct a system of support that is very, very substantial. at the moment. this is kind of a drip drip off of weaponry. evidently has been quite slow, so we now need to enable ukraine to act more decisively to recapture the territories occupied by russia. and this will sooner then. and then a rush of public spectres because rushes rushes game as to where our support, ours, we would tire. we went to the expect that we would know the political establishment as a side, as will wear off and the support you friend will subside and that can be fatal to

ukraine. i want to thank you so much, thomas. yeah, my love a chest for joining us on t w's. his book about all that. thank you very much. i think he left me with another stories making headlines around the world. at least 39 people have been killed and 20 more injured in a bus crash in panama. authorities said the boss was carrying migrants who had entered from columbia. record numbers of migrants arrived in panama last year, headed for the united states. dozens of migrants are missing and presumed dead after their boats. thank off the coast of libya. rescuers have retrieved 11 bodies, while 7 survivors are in hospital. it's just the latest ship wreck in the mediterranean. one of the world's most dangerous migration way for us court has sentenced a white supremacist who killed 10 black people in a mass shooting last year to life in prison. on court proceedings were briefly

disrupted after one of his victims relative, lunged at him. the shooter express remorse for the massacre saying he had been radicalized by racist conspiracy theories online. there was nothing like to think and world bank chief david mall past, says he will step down as head of the developmental lender nearly a year early. he was appointed to the role in 2019 when donald trump was president . recently mailbox has come up against calls to step down for his inadequate approach to the climate crisis. scientists studying one of the worlds fastest changing glaciers in antarctica have revealed that sea water may be accelerating its retreat. using an underwater robot. they observed cracks and crevices beneath the weights. glacier on the so called grounding line, that's where the ice meets the ocean. and it's here that warm water is getting into those weak spots, causing extreme melting weights is known as the doomsday glacier because of its potential to raise global sea levels. if it breaks up and disappears completely on,

the findings have been published in 2 studies by u. k and us experts in the journal nature. the story of weights is that we've watched the ice shelves go from a big, solid ice shelves 30 years ago to a disintegrating mass of rifts and fractures and provinces, and producing icebergs and losing a tremendous amount of the eye shows the extreme, melting is happening inside crevasses and across across the i shelves in areas that we call terraces. so that just kind of changed it. so it's not really a question of just how much melting is going on. but how the melting works and where we're finding it. and now after recent forays and ukraine and israel burton's elusive graffiti artist banks, he has sprayed another mural. this one is closer to home on a street in a british coastal town and seems to take on the issue of domestic violence. a

1915th house fight with a swollen eye and a broken duke. but with a smile on her face. shoving a man into a felisa, an empty be aborted, and a frank ben. this artwork in southeast england depicts the issue of domestic violence. create a bond, he hath called it, o, violent 9th. they must got up. thanks. dilation was set up, especially on valentine state to short, the tragic lights of them. and in a romantic relationship, i think it's amazing. i think it is a real topic that people can talk about about domestic abuse. i think the reference to valentine's day as well, you know, it's bringing people in, it's going to open up that dialogue the freezer and the materials were later removed by the local council. the more it went on, the more it felt like it was part of the piece. and perhaps, you know, banks the intended that all along because we all know how hard it is to get on

a district counselor, come and collect a debt that quickly. that's pretty impressive. the local government sees efforts will be made to ensure the artwork is preserved. well here in berlin, organizers are getting ready to roll out the red carpet for the cities, annual film festival, known as the berlin olive. on top of the usual glitz and glamour, there's a string of movies and events in solidarity with ukraine and the protests in iran. the berlin allah is back after 2 scaled down additions this february. it's back to business for one of the world's biggest film festivals. and one of the german capitals, greatest cultural jewels. the organizers are pulling out all the stops to get filled lovers of their couches and industry players out of home office artistic director carlo chaplain. your says this year's festival received more film entries than ever before. may been the last 2 additions,

a documentary that are maybe less or now we have films in panorama fiction and documentary. we're film some generation. we're film films in form that really provide a very wide diversified picture of what happened in cream and still happening during the last 12 months. the festival will also feature the european premier of iron butterflies. a documentary about the shooting down of malaysia airlines flight m h. 17. above the current human rights protests in iran are also reflected in the line up films. primary include 7 winters into iran, about an iranian woman who was executed for defending herself against a rapist, as well as politics and glitter for the next 10 days. all eyes will be on the gold . as 19 films from across the globe compete for the coveted golden bed and

a host of other prizes, they'll be handed out a week on saturday and into berlin out of fashion. any one of them could be a winner and you have a new one. i look for you all the actor, alec baldwin, looks that to hold on to historic role in the western movie rust as filming resumes over a year after a cinematographer was shot dead on that. the u. s. actor has been charged with 2 counts of involuntary manslaughter. over the killing of helena hutchins, during rehearsals, for the movie in october of 2021. baldwin says he didn't know the gun he was using was loaded at the time. well, it was the world's largest ocean liner touted as unsinkable that none the less went down during its maiden voyage. now, rare footage of the titanic ship rack has been released some of it for the 1st time in 1986, a team of us oceanographer film, the wreckage. after finding the titanic
