distressing images. ah, the unmistakable sound of grief, ah, these people have just identified the body of a loved one at this graveyard on the outskirts of kurama marsh in southern turkey. miss duffer arrives in search of his child. how silly little hipson blush, him by the modem, i searched to hospitals for my baby like i'm almost europe, but i want to bury my baby. and to pray, rosalind, that's all i want. washing machine is no loss miss yesterday. and nurse told me my baby had died his although yet, and that i should come here. but they showed me a photo there. now i'm here to find the great of miss lot. we should bill on a good at she been recovered in this the on been miss stuff. a goes to find his baby fans arrive here every few minutes throughout the day, each carrying up to full 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 database in coordination with the interior ministry and the office of immigration will live, which are shown that history to their medium is generally led him is when our processes are done, look, there is still some bodies which can't be identified whomever southerner for them would you do 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. will up, you know, systemic internationally. mrs. alma gazette was shaky 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 then ghetto. hutchison, i wish everyone was alive. your system is still on, but we're 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 had keys in the to rattle some few places represent the horrors of the earthquake more than here. and as more bodies buried, more families walk to graveyard to find their final resting place. and joining us now from one of the worst affected regions in turkey is our correspondent jack parrot, who filed that report. jack, just heartbreaking scenes there. can you tell us more about what it was like filming at that graveyard?

the overwhelming sense really was the dignity and respect that the people working there were trying to show both the dead, the people, the wood were being buried and their families and loved ones that were arriving their bearing in mind that a lot of the people that were working there were also heavily affected themselves by the earthquakes. now our team did not take it lightly. that the people in that report allowed us to film them in what must be one of the most unbearable moments of their lives and some of them to speak to us as well. we would like you would expect. we tried our very best to show them the dignity and the respect that they deserve. and the reality is that that is just one graveyard. seems like that are happening all over this part of southern turkey. here it is extremely difficult. the human loss is, is almost overwhelming to witness. we are so grateful to them for sharing their

stories. can you tell us more about what the situation is like now for other survivors that you've been speaking to? yeah, that's right. while the work continues to, to so, so the dead bodies at the, at the graveyards, there are still so many people in desperate need in this part of turkey or an over the border in syria as well. 10 days on from the earthquake. still, lots of people are living in tents or in their cars waiting for their buildings either to be cleared to be able to be moved back into or to be moved on somewhere that is more permanent. if they're building isn't safe or fell during the earthquake. there are real concerns about people's health now is getting very, very cold. people are the doctors are telling us that there are more and more things like lung infections that are taking hold for the people that are there. and so the 8 operation really now is, is, is getting quite critical and had a tragedy. there are still glimmers of hope and we're still occasionally seeing is

miracle, moments of people being pulled alive from the rubble. how much longer are they going to keep up rescue efforts to thank so for rescue teams will say that they are just going to continue until there are no size in that there is no hope left, as you say. even 220 plus hours on from when the earth earthquakes 1st struck. there are still people being brought tight. and obviously that is a sign of hope for some of the people that are still searching for their loved ones . but as time goes on, obviously the hope of finding further survivors under the rubble is dwindling. larry correspond jack park in turkey. thank you so much for reporting. well, more suspected spy balloons. this time in ukraine. authorities there say they've shot down russian balloons over teeth that may have contain surveillance equipment

. officials say of these 6 balloons detected. only some have been brought down. the kremlin has not yet commented on the reports. meanwhile, russia is ramping off its attacks on areas of eastern ukraine and nato countries are responding to keeps call for support. i promising to increase their production of munitions for the ukrainian military. did these ne connolly is in t. he earlier told us more about the suspected russian balloons that have been shot down. well for now, claire, the details are pretty scant, but it does seem, though, on one hand, this was about surveillance. yes. but also about trying to trick ukraine's air defenses, trying to basically send very cheap objects cheap, you know, 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 fate 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 tact, but 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 4 key in this part of the country. and behind closed doors, you've been hearing from ukrainian military sources, also from western politicians that actually one of ukraine's products right now is getting resupply for it's angie. i caught systems that have been anti missile systems sent by the west because those are really running low. and the wes ability to produce those, all mass is also pretty limited. so that is a real worry here that the kind of car parts of safety, at least here in cave, we've had a response, could be under threat if those missiles don't get him turn your neck. 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 western early forty'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 manufacturers 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 ammunition to ukraine from say, south korea some, it's been 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 ukrainian soldiers kind of the option to return fire in places, but 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 attacks across southern and eastern ukraine. it's pretty difficult to report on the situation because access fidelis is very restricted, 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 every throwing lots of resources and risking the lives of their soldiers to try and make progress. they had been claiming some progress in lou haskell blast, which they control near 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 specially given those, you know, problems, admissions, and logistics. and you so much for that update at our correspondent mc 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 governments, their lot via lithuania and estonia, all border russia and were once part of the soviet union. now they're members of nato and the european union. did all these killian buyer has been to the amory airbase in estonia to look at nato's air policing mission, aimed at monitoring the skies for any unauthorized russian activity.

thermal underwear. a water emergency 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. their court summons on her complex. that's a very short time for such a highly complex system. hello sir. hello. hello. it's no secret that for all pilots. when you're fast asleep, when the alarm goes off the your pulse starts rising. melina, so that's not the adrenalin kicks in, because you're trying to be ready. heights is, are we completely awake, shine, so that you can get your job done at day or at night is and splitting ones off? take 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 air base 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 kill any 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 lift buffer euro fighters are tasked to intercept the unknown aircraft and identify them. melissa, so not normal when to fight a jets don't communicate in international airspace i look on. but when you're approaching an act 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 and is this an honest monta, christoph 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. earlier i spoke to thomas young, my lavish chest from the international center for defense and security in talent, estonia and asked whether he thinks nato has done enough to provide security for the baltic states. lot. and in mother summit, we saw a raft of commitments made to strengthening her entire houston flag. not only a studio of the baltic states, and part of those commitments of was, are enhancing cur, the prison. so 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 denito enhanced for to a presence in each of the bulk stays to, to stop the new commercial control arrangements due to probably send additional forces and into the region. but overall, nato is now moving towards the poll, a new force model which will significantly enhance are the pool or for high

readiness forces available to secular supreme allied commander, europe. and that's a new model has to be in place by the end of this year. so in a given the size of the organization and given the how many countries are members of it, it is really been moving really, really fast. now, to date the u. s. secretary of defense lloyd austin, is visiting estonia, where he's going to be meeting with its prime minister and defense minister. what you expect we might see come out of as, as at, 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 and such because it's all routine part of it. but at the same time, it goes on the eve of person bursary or brushes, 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 appreciation and assurance, appreciation of what

a student is doing to support your brain and also materially and, and also, you know, to reassure us. 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 marce, the 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, pray 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 the rush as resources and now increasing the 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 print accordingly. so in that regard is new or great in, in even tara, at that russia we'll step back unless they are really decisively mold in ukraine. after that, we need to supply you prior and we have for our weapon systems that they 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 territory so 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 establishments, the societies will wear off, and the support you friend will subside and that can be fatal to ukraine. i wanna

thank you so much, thomas. yeah, my love a chest for joining us on t w's. just about that. thank you very much. let's bring you up to speed now with some other stories making headlines around the world. in china, hundreds of pensioners have taken to the streets in the cities of woo hahn and dolly on to protest health insurance cuts. the reforms, decrease allowances for personal medical benefits. china's pension system is struggling to support the elderly as birth rates, decline. residents of the us state of ohio are demanding transparency. after a trained derailment released toxic chemicals, state officials say the air and water are safe despite some residents complaining of headaches and nausea, and thousands of dead fish. a train carrying hazardous materials d rails. in early february at least 39 people have been killed and 20 more injured in a bus crash in panama authority say the boss was carrying migrants who had entered

findings have been published in 2 studies by u. k and u. s. experts in the journal nature. the story of weights is that we've watched the ice shelves go from a big solid ice shells 30 years ago to a disintegrating mass of rifts and fractures and progresses, producing icebergs and losing a tremendous amount of the i show the extreme melting is happening inside curve asses and across, across the i show 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. in sports news, 7 time formula, one world champion, louis hamilton says he will continue to speak out on important issues. despite the sports governing body clamping down on political statements, hamilton said,
