on takia yard, the mud following date is coming in. yeah, but i wish before the 8 a lawyer, the it's and the heavy machinery that so we could have saved all those licenses. we received food aid or serve them bread hamakua, boeing or people were still under the rubble. and still, the scale of the destruction makes it hard to say how many a dead and buried rescue teams have been searching day and night. the signs of life from the beginning of the earth clicked the narrow steel was cloak totally blocked and it was not easy to find people actually. second days taught these unfortunate steel that was built of a lot of people. david shelton got us for help. we tried to this to all of them, but it was impossible. tens of thousands have since flint, the city for those who stayed. the search for survivors has turned into

a search for reminders. i doesn't behind a lot of them and it hasn't been darden or everybody here had dreams on everybody here had a future libby shares and now what's left of it, a dead city of all model. nothing else. on the high up, i assured lavolle, florida is on a high up and we could never imagine this year high. our little the good. we're alive. but we are now wandering around in a ghost town by our legislation, legacy. throughout the wreckage that was untouched. yeah. pain is plentiful and no one he knows how long it will take for this city to recover and turkey, many quake victims are being buried in mass graves, making it difficult for loved ones to find them as d. w as jack para reports even where there are individual graves, many are unmarked. 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 sent a letter had symbolize 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 told me my baby had died is all that i get and that i should come here. but as 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 and it's still on been mis 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 wish, i shall mother history to them at him is jealousy. let him know when our processes are done. look, there is still some bodies which can't be identified him of his other. 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 family slater miss. yelp will up, you know, systemic. and then a station to mrs. altima gazette. will she live childish my up 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. going them is done ghetto. hutchison, i wish everyone was alive, your system, students on but we're here treating the bodies as they should be treated in the islamic way. the brother is give the families peace of mind law me shock larva kissing the to rattle some few places, represent the horrors of the earthquake more than here and is more bodies of buried . more families woke to graveyard to find their final resting place to ukraine. our authority say they have shot down. most of the 6 suspected russian surveillance balloons detected in the skies over came a kremlin, hasn't commented on the reports, but russian forces have launched a new round of missile attacks across ukraine. ukraine is repelled some of the

attacks, but authorities a multiple targets have been hit, including the country's largest oil refinery. and with the latest assaults across ukraine. russia spring offensive appears to have begun given the problems with jets and ammunition supplies. we asked eager shelf, co deputy head of the office of the president of ukraine, whether ukraine is ready. definitely we already moved and ready and i think this revolve, which is planning now. it unfortunately will take place because they are destined to make this, but it will definitely destined to fail. and it will probably might have been a huge reverse, but very important that we should be prepared to counteract. and we had a very good and positive dynamics for all this 2nd half of last year. remember after liberating the normal you printed was harkey and the, and the,

and the east and you've been and i'll talk if that was part of significant part of south including the city over here. so. so we need to get this pose a name, positive dynamics. when you get our territories liberated each by each kilometer by kilometers, and us aiming at the aim of lubricant all the character of your great health concerns. mounting that ammunition supplies could be running low. we also asked shelf whether ukraine must now prioritize which targets to choose. well, definitely if you are mentioning about and had mentioned in those. hm. hi, sophisticated western side air defense system. we have, we have already got and we were all the operating. oh, those are, we're still waiting. i'm talking about medium range air defense systems. definitely . we cannot use them every time because russia is combining now except for the fire . in this case would be great. the combined, the cruise missiles with ballistic missiles and those missiles with them they can

buy with drones. and those johnson, besides the combined with the balloons, which i mentioned it. so definitely we should be smart. understanding the, the, the, the, the level of our munition. we have and we are smart and we are, you know, using different different devices in order to, to, to, to intersect. but look currently where intersect in about 75 to 80 percent of the, of the massage, or johnson or any other things. it could be better, it could be better, provided that we had already as of now the desired amount of their defense and, and to me, some system. lastly w asked shall for what victory would look like for keith. the victory for you. graham's disease is only one. when we liberate all the territory of you. grin, ultima and you fools a horse. 1991 there was eager shelf cla,

deputy head of the office of the president of ukraine speaking to d. w. earlier today. no rush as war and ukraine has fundamentally alter the perceived threats to security in europe. since the war began. nato has responded to the requests of governments in the baltic states by significantly increasing its presence 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. he w's killian buyer has been to the amari air base and estonia to look at nato's air policing mission, which is monitoring the skies for unauthorized russian activity. thermal underwear. a water emerging suit boots, a g suit, a life jacket, and a helmet. it takes lieutenant colonel christoph hoffmeister just under 2 minutes to put it 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. this is zach court summons on all conflicts. that's a very short time for such a highly complex system over. so i look below, it's no secret that for all pilots, when you're fast asleep, when the alarm goes off, the your pulse starts rising melinda. that's in 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. oh, 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 my re air base, our 4 year old 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. melissa, so not normal when to fight a jets don't communicate in international airspace. i look and when you're approaching across that you're not in contact with us and you don't know what the other guy's doing was. intentions are and what is the flight path is going to of course you are a bit more tense and there's one that's where this, this under sponsor, kristof 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. fresh us war and ukraine is once again putting the focus back on the issues of refugees in germany. germany city say they're struggling to cope with a record number of new arrivals. german interior minister nancy phaser hosted a refugee summit with representatives of the national government and local authorities in a bid to address a problem. no concrete measures were announced,

but the federal government promised to co operate more closely on providing accommodation for refugees. new working groups will now have time until april to propose ideas on how to better share the financial burden. as germany struggles with that unprecedented number of refugees, some communities are coming up with their own solutions to house. the new arrivals . the small city of gorsline in central germany is using all the resources it has to make them feel welcome. a taste of home to day you. yellowstone panko is making ukrainian bush beetroot soup. she fled from key if to germany and march 2022 with her 2 daughters since then they've been living in the small city of ga sla. her husband, a policeman, stayed behind you, leah's daughters, anya and maria go to local school and kindergarten. at 1st, the family lived in a hostile room provided by the district, but moved to a private apartment just 2 months later, left,

which had put in the will and was at the beginning. it wasn't very important where we left because the situation was so terrible and she didn't have any expectations wound up with. all we wanted was safety that we ended up moving here with these great conditions is very cool. not that she is here or more with said, ohio group just over 2000 ukrainian refugees like julia and her kids have come to the district of gus law since the war began. the local population is about a 130000 people. there are many older people here and many apartments have been left empty. the local administration created a system to match refugees up with the owners of that free accommodation. the district also has several temporary arrival centers for refugees on offer, including a hotel and a hostile it, me, it's for service. mister miller. if i imagine that i had to live for several months in a sports hall with lots of people, i don't know. conflict putting so of course that kind of thing can create conflict

. and of course having people living in apartments across the ghost law district allows us to integrate them better in. mm hm. and then we also have a lot of volunteers and villages and cities who help these people in shayton dimensions was i to stream. like in this former casino in the city of goslin. now a center for donations around 30 volunteers have been here almost every day to help the refugees with advice and to sort through clothes, furniture and household objects all things the ukrainians desperately need when they move into completely empty apartments. coleman, he he at is they come here and the 1st thing they say it's, do you have cutlery, neck blankets? i do have a pillow as well. it's almost unimaginable what that means to really have nothing as high as midnight hobbin. the state has now officially stopped assigning ukrainians to the ga sla district, but the local administration is expecting around 700 asylum seekers from other

countries to arrive in the coming months. some of them may not be as lucky as eula and her family. the local administration says the stalk of empty apartments may run out soon and hear some other stories making headlines around the world. to day. thousands of people have marched and france to denounce president my cause controversial pension reforms. demonstrators held up signs and chanted slogans, criticizing the government's proposal to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. who zealand has deployed naval vessels, a transport plane and helicopters to reach people cut off by cycle and gabrielle. at least 6 people died in the storm, which has caused major damage on the countries north island, the prime minister says it could take weeks to restore power to some affected regions. clearly has deal at least 15 people have been killed and avalanches in eastern tajikistan. most of the victims are in the regional capital hood oak. the avalanche is struck after heavy snowfall. rescuers are still looking for survivors

quickly. we didn't know what was going on to a hotel in west virginia. yes. or west virginia yesterday i had to go home to pick up prescriptions. um the creek by my house had a very, very strong chemical smell to it. um, i went to my house, it was worse. meanwhile, authorities burned to remaining chemicals to prevent a catastrophic blast. releasing more toxic fumes into the air. officials collected samples to gauge the extent of environmental damage. traces of chemicals found in the near by ohio river. thousands of dead fish found in the vicinity. these samples were analyzed overnight with the full sport and back of governor de wine. i am happy to announce that the evacuation order is now limited. returning residents have their doubts. my son came out. he was like, oh my god,

it stinks, mom. its it smells like paint than her and i'm like now it doesn't. i got up mount and, and it smelled like really, really strong paint than her. and then his eyes turned like blood shot and he started coughing and i was like ever leaving at the school gym. the local community is concerned following reports of people suffering from headaches, rashes, and painful coughing, almost 2 weeks on still waiting for answers. oh, here in berlin, the annual international film festival known as the burly natalie opens for it's 73rd edition, as well as the usual red carpet glitz and glamour. and there's a string of movies and events in solidarity with ukraine and the protest in iran. sean penn's documentary super power about ukrainian president zalinski will have its world premiere, the festival will also feature films highlighting the current human rights protests in iran. hollywood star, kristen steward heads the international jury as 19 films from around the world
