shop down this time over keith, ukraine says it has eliminated suspected surveillance aircraft as rush ramps up its attacks in the air and on the ground. ah, i'm glad elf as well come to the program. the devastating earthquakes in turkey and syria, i've now claimed more than 40000 lives in turkey. many of the dead are being buried in mass graves, making it difficult for their loved ones to fight them. and as d w as jack paris reports, some grapes are still unmarked. 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 tougher arrives in search of his child. how silly little heb cindy blush, him by the modem. i searched to hospitals for my baby like almost the room, but i want to bury my baby and to pray brazos. and that's all i want. washing machine is no loss miss yesterday. and nurse, she told me my baby had died is all that i get and that i should come here, but they showed me a photo let. now i'm here to find the gravy of miss la wishing bill on a good at she been recovered and it's still on been mr for 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,

which are shown that history to their medium is generally led him is when our processes are done, like there is still somebody's, which can't be identified whomever southerner for them would you like 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 families later miss you pull up, you know, systemic, and then ish to the mrs. allah, missouri 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. hutchinson, i wish every one was to lead alive. you susan steers, i'm but we're here treating the bodies as they should be treated in the islamic way . her brother? yes. give the families peace of mind to law me shak larva, he is in the toronto some few places represent the horrors of the earthquake more than here and is more bodies of buried. more families walk the graveyard to find their final resting place. and joining us now from one of the worst affected regions and turkey is our correspond, jack burgle found that report and actually heartbreaking scenes there. can you tell us more about your visit to that graveyard? well, the overwhelming sense god was that the authorities and the people that have volunteered to work there were just doing absolutely everything within their power to try and show the bodies and the families of those people who had died the utmost respect

and dignity in what is a really, really difficult situation, bearing in mind that a lot of the people that are doing that work are themselves affected by this earthquake. pretty much every single person in this region has a story of sadness of grief, of destruction from that earthquake that hit 10 days ago. and i just want to say that our, our team didn't take it lightly, that the people in that report allowed us to film them in that moment of unbearable grief. one of the hardest things i think for a person to do is to look inside of a body bag and to identify a loved one. and that was certainly some of the, some of the most difficult scenes for, for us to watch. but paling increase in significance compared to the pain of those families that, that had to do that, that horribly heartbreaking, of course. and so what's the situation like now for the survivors that you've been

speaking to for this is it, the situation is getting increasingly more difficult. many of the buildings, for instance, hearing garcia's tap where we now are, you can see behind me that clearing away buildings where they want to rebuild. but there are a lot of buildings that are still standing that haven't been cleared to be safe for people to return into. and there are tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands in this city alone that are sleeping on the street sleeping in their cars. still 10 days after the quake head and many more across the region. so the authorities, the government, are doing everything they can to move as quickly as possible to try and get those building secured or to provide additional tens for people to be able to stay in because it is bitterly cold. the sun shining on us now. but it is seriously cold here, and the doctors and the hospitals are reporting increasing levels of infections of long infections of issues for people that is sleeping out cold in the streets is

really a race against time to try and to try and bring back some normality to the people's lives who have survived. now there are still some miracle moments there if you want to call it that of people being pulled alive from the rubble so long after the earthquake hit a how much longer do you think they're going to keep up these rescue efforts at that, they say that they're going to continue for as long as they possibly can. as you say, there's a sort of juxtaposition with the scenes that we saw in that graveyard of people identified their bodies while the scenes of real hope of people being pulled from the rubble. we heard of a 17 year old woman who was fight in cara, my mirage. earlier today, 248 hours after the earthquake 1st shot. you just can't even imagine what that al deal must have been like being stuck under the rubble. but the reports of those rescues are coming. fewer and farther between many of the people that have been saved in the last couple of days have been young in their sort of either

children or in their teens. i hope is fading, it is dwindling. that's the reality of it. the rescue operations in the aid workers say they will continue until they they, they, they just cannot continue any, any further lit up his jack path. they're reporting from turkey, chunky jack. let's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines today. nato's secretary general against jordan back has repeated his called for turkey to quickly ratify sweden and finland applications to join the military alliance, turkish farmers them. evelyn colors or glue suggested anchor a may only approve finland's membership after a meeting of the leaders in antioch and china. hundreds of pensioners have taken to the streets in the cities of who han and dahlia to protest health insurance cause reforms decrease allowances for personal medical benefits. join us pension system

rush balloons over, keeps that may have carried surveillance, equipment, official say, only a few of the 6 balloons detected, have been brought down. the kremlin has not yet commented on the report. meanwhile, russia is ramping of its attacks on areas of eastern ukraine. nato countries are responding to thieves cold for support by promising to increase their production of munitions for the ukrainian military. and for the latest from ukraine on thou joined by the w correspondent and nick, calmly as standing by and here for as nick, the authorities are saying, most of the russian balloons over the capital, there have been shot down. what more can you tell us think for now the details are pretty scant, but it seems like so, these balloons were about surveillance about finding out where ukraine's air defenses, missile defenses are. but there's also a suggestion that some of these were basically kind of fake targets for ukraine's missile defense systems. a way to use very cheap balloon, maybe with metallic objects involved that trick radars,

trick ukraine's force into wasting very, very expensive and very scarce. anti missile anti aircraft, munitions, which as we've been hearing recent days, are in very short supply and western countries. now, scrambling to kind of up production of those for ukraine to make sure that the kind of present level of defense capability stays in place, stays realistic. but certainly that was something new for care of. we have actually had reports of similar balloons been used. close the front lines of east, but sunny forgive. that was something new yesterday. now. busy russia has intensified, clearly it's a tax across southern and east of ukraine and i, we are getting reports of ukrainian forces retreating. what's the latest from those front lines? why it's pretty difficult to report on this kind of in real time, because obviously there's very limits, texas for journalists and the ukrainian military is pretty k g, about confirming these cars reports often, especially when things aren't going well for them. they will only confirm these things a couple of days later, the russians claiming some advances in law hans called last,

but they basically control all of that region. so this is all pretty small stuff and there's also a pretty wide river at west or where they currently are. so if they were to push brother, you know, that's all pretty difficult. but certainly there's a sense that russia is desperate for anything. it can sell as a victor right now. anything to kind of reverse the tide of bad news for the russian military. and in back more than a 100 ever wasting the russians really upping the pressure on ukraine's forces. not a to countries just promised to increase their production of artillery, munitions. what's the view in keith? they're will it arrive in time and will it be enough? well, i certainly, there is a fear in ukraine that westcan just simply don't get the scale of this war. that they don't really understand the intensity of fighting. you might be able to hear the air. it's sorry just behind me, especially as this year anniversary comes close to there's a feeling that vladimir putin is so desperate to kind of explain why he's doing this and to kind of convince the russian people to keep committed to this war. that he is going to try and pull out all the stops and maybe send more missiles,

more planes, potentially even to text. you like give to the real worry and kind of design it try and convince. and going to bring that message across to european countries who might be getting worse. yeah. eventually, a bit weary of this war that it is time to up that there is support for ukraine and to really provide supplies on a much bigger scale and to really change the way their economies are working to give ukraine that support it. currently, they're in a key of their thank you very much for your reporting. the united states actress a racquel welch has died after a short illness. she was 82. she was one of the most sought after actresses in hollywood in the 90s, sixties, and seventies. piero alongside colleagues including james stewart, frank sinatra, burt reynolds multi decade career included a golden globe winning performance in the 3 musketeers in 1973.
