ah, yours quakes and turkey and syria have triggered a major humanitarian catastrophe with more than 42000 confirmed dead and millions left homeless. on thursday, the un urged member stays to contribute $1000000000.00 to provide water, food, shelter in education, in the affected areas over 3 months. but international aid organizations worn 3 months from now, this crisis will be far from over. turkey has suffered the worst immediate effects of the quake, but across the border in syria. this is another crisis within an already devastating humanitarian crisis. after a decade of brutal internal conflict, people in dire need of help are caught in the middle of a deadly power struggle between the countries. warring factions who are now using

life saving aid as a bargaining chip on nickel frilly him berlin. and this is the day awe before the greeks, both in the little boat, 4100000 people in north with celia, who needed assistance to oscar, has of course, compounded under the existing onto the crisis. we asked everybody to put the and personal but people 1st we asked everybody to politicize the humanitarian situation . the sell to that is really number one product. in fact, we need 400000000 new us dollars to reach 5 to reach approximately 5000000 people who are in desperate desperate need of humanitarian aid device. now also on the day, over 2 months of protests leave 48 dead in peru, a security forces class with anti government protesters. amnesty international says

the police response has been disproportionate with impunity. mikka your own a very hard object head my he did, it was one of these cartridges with t, again, as i fell to the ground, it injured my heed and i started bleeding metal. you're like, obvious, in this moment, emphasis on that. i'll come to the show, it feels like we're being punished for surviving the war. that's how one internally displaced. woman in northern syria described her situation 10 days after the region was hit by the worst natural disaster in a century. and she's not alone. anger is growing and the war torn country over the late arrival of age following the earthquake and the critical 1st days after the quake. when many survivors could have been rescued, the area was largely cut off from the outside world. and even now residents complain of a lack of help. the united nations is also under fire for failing to act in the midst of serious complex divisions. what 12 years of civil war less standing

has now fallen victim to the earthquake. large parts of it live province have been reduced to rubble. this area is controlled by a j had is the lions that the u. n. classes as a terrorist organization. the syrian government controls 2 thirds of the country. the north east shown here in dark blue is under kurdish control. but it's the northwest that's been hardest hit by the quake. the area around it live under that you had his rebels and the area in light blue that's controlled by pro turkish forces. the un normally uses just one border crossing to get aid from turkey to syria. but it was initially rendered impassable by the quake. the white helmets rescue group that operates in serious rebel held areas appealed for heavy machinery to rescue survivors. but to no avail, you and aid is now flowing from turkey. after the syrian regime of batter,

alice sad agreed to open additional border crossings. but critics say the un shouldn't have waited for approval from damascus given the government doesn't control the area anyway. government controlled areas like here in the city of aleppo have received more aid, much of it from other arab countries that long shunned or sad critic say the earthquake could even work in a sad favor and strengthen his hand. those left in the ruins in rebel held areas just want help, but find themselves caught in a political tug of war for which they're paying a high price. and joining me now for a closer look at the situation in northern syria is done gala. he's the editor in chief of the german magazines and needs a publication focus on the arab and islamic world. good to see you again, mr. gala. the u. n. says 4100000 people in rebel held areas needed even before the

earthquake. now the region is facing a crisis within a crisis. do we have any idea of the scale of the destruction and what's needed now? while everything is needed, the report that we are getting out of the northwest of syria is that people are little literally like removing rebel with their bare hands. unfortunately, we have to say the people in this part of syria are experienced with, with that kind of situations, trying to improvise, getting people out of collapse building because they have been bombed over many years now. and they have experience, 1st responders. but unfortunately, they lack everything and the temperature dropping below 0 at night and it lip in particular, like the last couple of days it was quite sunny, but at night it gets very cold. and what we hear is, of course, like basic humanitarian aid, medical aid, food, but also shelter of blankets. the problem in this, in this area is of course, that even hospitals, medical infrastructure have been critically a bond continuously in the last couple of years. and of course the,

the fact that this area is controlled by islamic jihad is militia. that is operating there under the mercy of turkey. but in fact, is also and follows its own agenda. doesn't make things easier. there is areas in the river g mailed areas for example, and level, and also the province of latania that have been also badly hit, but not apparently, not to the extent that that some parts of it live. why is it so difficult for the international community to get aid to syria? while human italian aid has been weaponized and politicized over more than 10 years now. and it's always been basically a power game in the united nations security council. the russians would veto certain decisions on cross border aid. and of course, like the other nations would have to convince russia and china every now like every couple of months to, to support a cross bought a solution. of course, the syrian regime is following its own protocol. it says we accept its national aid,

but only if it goes through our channels. because of course, the syrian regime does not want to change its policy. if in this like emergency, it changes the policy of course it would have no argument to later on say, we will not allow you military and a to go cross border to go through other channels. then the government areas because they would set a precedent if they changed this policy at the moment. let's talk about how different groups here are politicizing aid. because there are reports about g hottest groups refusing to let through aid convoys attempting to cross into their territory from government controlled areas. why is that? while it's quite in quite an ironic if i can see that situation because though it live is controlled, a major part of the province of it lived are controlled by insurgent forces and there is continuous shalon going on. even the last couple of days in this area. there is trade from what we know between the insurgent controlled areas and regime

held areas in official trade. every cultural goods are being traded and other other stuff like if there is a border crossing, then there is trade of course it's considered elicit. but of course, both sides are trying to have control over 8 and unfortunately at the moment, turkey that was also responsible and supporting aid in the province is very much busy with itself. of course, with deep dealing with this catastrophe and doesn't seem to lack the resources of getting substantial aid into it, live problems. now this disaster has seen the world increasingly engage with bi sharla side. again, could this be a turning point for him up to now, a pariah? i hear this a lot, especially from the european diplomatic community as a question. but i don't think this is a substantial, it's not a game changer. look, we see the united arab emirates, for example, one of the leading powers in the middle east in the arab world that have some sort

of a normalized relationship with the us government long time ago. they have reopened an embassy. they have received us and, and several ministers that they have now promised or even delivered, i think, or promised 50000000 in 1st response aid. so i don't think this is a major, a game changer. we see that at the dana prime minister traveled to syria, he says he wants to work on specific topics. i won't, don't, don't think the big not wave of normalization is now happening. but of course, the european countries have to like see how they want to deal with the situation because they want to get into syria. but at the same time, they don't want to normalize with the, with the regime the united states have wave issued a waiver like and they listed sanctions exceptionally for 3 months or financial transactions into syria, into a regime house. syria are allowed and some people have tried it out in western union and it seems that it works. so there are certain, should like demonstrations of goodwill,

also on the side of the international community. but of course the, the government, the regime needs to respond to that new gala editor in chief of the need magazine. thank you so much. thank you. now cross the border and turkey, sir, and face a different kind of hardship displaced by the war at home. around 3 and a half 1000000 syrian refugees are currently registered in turkey. many of them had found shelter near turkey. southern border precisely, the region hardest hit by the quakes. anti theory and sentiment had been rising already before the disaster, mainly due to turkey's ever deepening economic crisis. now that the next crisis has hit, the brewing animosities are turning into open hostility. shed the cosson has turned this car rental shop in the city of marcin into a makeshift shelter his hosting home, the syrians who were displaced by the earthquake mandojano anymore. today, i look back the location of other soon, almost 11,

dozens of families live in the shop easement. some were kicked out of emergency shelters for earthquake victims, just because they are syrian malay are. does lynn, how we are spotting scores of syrians outside the emergency shelters? they can't find places to live. the shelters are fully occupied. he, some places are inaccessible for syrians because of all the pressure low. this is what's happening to us that we opened this makeshift center to help people indicate them. so i got a me on the deadly earthquake that hit missing impacted every one, no matter their background. however, a campaign has emerged against syrian refugees and turkey. anti syrian slogans such as i do not want refugees in my country, they must be deported and you are not welcome, have gone viral online. anti refugee messages like this are nothing new in country is that host significant refugee populations. i've seen this happen in times of cut

us off, political and economic crises and elections. often, nationalist political groups take advantage of the situation to fuel their empty immigration campaigns. they create rage against the most vulnerable refugees. accusing them of draining, local resources, full karnak, the knees and his friends reject the anti refugee rhetoric. they organized a demonstration against what they considered racist slogans in the are now coordinating efforts to shelter and help susan their forties. wooten conklin. i feel terrible suddenly about all these racist comments on the internet, hamilton, and i'm doing everything along with other people who think like me to put an end to this heights speech in our society. most of us because i believe is the will, that humanity shall prevail and loved also shall take over the banana

example. television should have been sunset, the watchers. okay. well select shut. you received another call for help. his phone hasn't stopped bringing since the disaster struck in you family just arrived. looking for accommodation, yolanda lost the language i was absent on. most of all, many have nothing left after the devastating quake, it's likely many more will come calling ah shapiro. now we're the human rights organization. amnesty international has accused security forces of committing human rights violations during anti government protests. at least 48 people have been killed in clashes between demonstrators and police since unrest broke out on december 7th that followed the impeachment and arrest of former president pedro castillo. protesters have been demanding the

resignation of his replacement president, dean. i will want to pay the dissolution of parliament, fresh elections, and a new constitution. everything must be ready in cases. some one gets injured at the protests in lima cave in go. den c is part of a team of but he got his thus skilled medical staff and students, their volunteers. and they often get caught in the crossfire. is tristan upward again though it is sad because when these protests start is halima, we noticed that the police started using tear gas. yeah. you boy, a much better guy when innocent old people ever saw it and also children at the moment i remember. and i know that was really painful, $40.00 because they were the was one most effective then of myself. i go have a broad wasn't other days of yeah, we also saw how protested lucy, preserved. i started attacking, easy out very small groups. this mural 0. 4 weeks,

lima and the south of prue have seen protest turned violent. dozens have died in clashes with a police. others like michela got away with an injury to protect her identity, we changed her name and won't show her face. mikayla attended many of the protests and lima until the 28th of january. she was wounded in the head half to police, started encircling protesters, dispersing tear gas and alledged leave firing rubber bullets as i'm in. 1000000 pos, mac. i your all a very hard object hit my head. it was one of these cartridges with tea, again, as i fell to the ground, it injured my head. and i started bleeding little gallagher with anthem anthem possess and without a member of that. but he got his dusk water took care of her. now you're starting show him. i was in shock because i was afraid that a police would shoot me with more gas. i don't know. they were shooting it at any when they could see in that moment i didn't matter what you were doing at that

point. and people were just trying to get away from the. so i was scared and i said to the, bring a day that they were kilo lation and begged him to take me to a hospital. i am alma barbara for warrior might be that mckayla was worn off, several wounded that day. one man died from a head injury alledged li caused by tear gas cartridge been at the mo mckayla's now struggling with panic, attacks, trauma and sleepless nights. and she is too scared to report her case. human rights groups have condemned the disproportionate use of force by police in peru, d, w, as the name of police department. why officers seemed to be aiming the weapons directly at people during the protests that fatima newly weapons that the police carry a not lethal room. and they are that aim at people's bodies is awesome. that's what they are. therefore, we're family. we don't usually the weapons with alice and lethal weapons that are used in criminal acts. it was i used to amy body tea. they did last year to year

were at the floor. these protests cynthia rose seemed to be fall from over. but he got his dust like kevin go dnc, we'll keep on taking care of the victims. no matter which side thereon. protest her far from over and covering them in lima is my calling. mathias emmet mathias. what's the situation right now? after weeks of protests, the police has no restricted access to many public places. like here plus a some a team behind me, people on the more allowed to go there and this happens everywhere in the country. police is, are, yeah, pulling up their repression. the security forces are repressing the protest more and more. and that leads to on the other hand, to a calm down of the protests, the protest groups seem to reorganize to regroup. and i think on the other hand, as long as we will not have any political solution for this social crisis,

and i think a protest may arise again soon. an amnesty international investigation has concluded peruvian authorities have been using excessive force against the demonstrators. what exactly are they accusing the security forces of erica give out of a head of amnesty international sem, head of an ammunition to national for the americas. and as she presented evidence, yes, a day to prison to follow are to and today to the public heater in lima and for excessive use of force and such as unlawfully shoulds of live bullets on protest as on peaceful protests. us in most of the cases, m a by the peruvian army and the police forces. and we said national, falling to him in total $46.00 cases of human rights violations. and yet they argue the pro, to prosecutors, to act. and they announced investigations actually they promised it to amnesty

international. but so far, only the case in i a could shoe is making progress or where 24 or protests as were killed at many other cases are not progressing. they are still an initial stage. as i mentioned, national is reporting the protesters are demanding the new president enough on the water that stepped down and call for new elections. and she's actually urged congress to pave the way for that. hasn't she or lawmaker is going to give the people what they want? it is not sure what is happening behind the scenes. no, i'm through. it's a, it's a big negate negotiation process going on. effect the, the on the one hand, the present blue are to met yesterday with the opposition leader keiko, fully morally and today actually now she's meeting with other opposition leaders of the parliament. so we're not, it's not uncertain what will happen, what would be the outcome and what isn't actually negotiated,

but behind the scenes them, whether the parliament will vote for elections already this year. they should do it until tomorrow in order to stop this election. probe a process for 2023, or if they might, on forrest one want to, to resign. we don't know it, and we're gonna, we're gonna note in the next the, the next day to come. i guess effect is if no decision will be made. i think protests will arise again, everywhere in the countryside, especially in the poor regions of through it. let's talk about that because this is not a new problem, right? for rou, as for long had a problem of, of many people, big part of society feeling disenfranchised, and feeling disconnected from the political elite in lima, taking decisions on their behalf. so how can peruse b maneuvered out of this out of this deadlock,

i think is really a complicated a pro process which, which could help out of this crisis. we were in the last days in the am than regions where we met a farmers, small farmers and teachers of village schools. and they all have one important issue. they want better education for the, for the kids a, the want to have a better health system health care. they want better infrastructure in the villages . and yet better share of the wealth, which is in peru so that our demands they have for many decades already. but to, to solve this problem, which is a social problem of inequality to, to, to solve this, i think it would this strong step towards a solution. it would, it would mean a political movie party initiative, which i can't see at the moment because the parliament is split into many parties.

and as will the negotiation with the president is difficult. it's a structural problem which proved praises already for many decades. and i don't see a mid term solution on the horizon. marty has eva in lima on the latest about these protests in a row that we've been following for over 2 months now. thank you so much. ah. oh, here in berlin, the annual international film festival known as the berlin ali has officially kicked off, as well as the usual red carpet glitz and glamour at this 73rd edition. there will be a string of movies and events in solidarity with ukraine. and the protests in iran, sean penn's documentary superpower about ukrainian president lensky, will have its world premiere, the festival will also feature films, highlighting the human rights protests in iran. hollywood star,
