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. has sent a letter had symbol as you buy 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 to miss you, but it's no loss miss yesterday. and nurse told me my baby had died his or that i get and that i should come here, but they showed me a photo let. 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 the 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 database in coordination with the interior ministry and the office of immigration will if you will, just show me that his me to them at him is generally let him is when 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. will of you know, systemic and then ish to the mrs. alma cuz it 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 danger. hutchison, i wish every one was to lead alive, isn't 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 to law me shut, lover is in the to rattle some few places represent the horrors of the earthquake more than here and as more bodies are buried, more families walk the graveyard to find their final resting place. i spoke earlier today you correspondent jack parrot, who filed that report. and he told us more about the scenes he witnessed at the burial site. 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. well, the work continues to, to so thought that that bodies at the, at the graveyards, there are still so many people in desperate need in this part of turkey or, and over the border in syria as well. 10 days on from the earthquake. still, lots of people are living in tents or in that cause, 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 it's 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. now made this tragedy, there are still glimmers of hope. and we're still occasionally seeing these 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 signs and that there is no hope left, as you say. even 220 plus hours on from when the earth earthquakes 1st struck that are still people beam rural tight. and obviously that is the 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. to let you correspond, jack perch in turkey. thank you so much for reporting. well, reports of more suspected spy balloons. this time in ukraine. authorities there say they've shot down russian balloons over chief that may have contained surveillance equipment. official say of the 6 balloons detected only some have been brought down . the kremlin has not yet commented on the reports. meanwhile rushes ramping off

its attacks on areas of eastern ukraine and nato countries are responding to keeps call for support by promising to increase their production of munitions for the ukrainian military. he w. net connolly is in cave. he told us earlier about the suspected russian balloons that have been shot down 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 he cranes air defenses. trying to basically send very cheap objects 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 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 tactic that actually has been used will be on the front lines for a lot longer. that 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 ukrainian military. so, so, so from western politicians that actually one of ukraine's poets right now is getting re supply for it. and he, i caught systems that have been and he miss austin 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. you're not going to ask you about that nato countries promising to increase their production of artillery nations. 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 herbs forces 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 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 musicians 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 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 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 best buy 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 early, 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 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 specially given those, you know, problems with munitions in a 6. thank you so much for that update. as our correspondent mc connelly and keith, let's bring you up to speed now with some other world news headlines at this hour. a court in italy has acquitted form our prime minister, silvio berlusconi on charges of witness tampering. in an under age prostitution case, the judge cited legal errors in the prosecution's case. it's the 3rd trial related to his so called a bung among the sex parties. he held while in office world bank chief at david mall past, says he'll step down as a development lender next nearly a year early. he was appointed to the role in 2019. when donald trump was president, recently ballpark has come up against calls to step down for his inadequate approach to the climate crisis. in china,
