and this was of course reported in saxon papers and also in on the government because the jaws are all starkey, a loss of investigations along this fault. and of course, these all were report good as to time, but of course it's up to the politicians to take the necessary measurements madame, unfortunately. yeah, but they just ignore her. on the left, it wasn't r returning to report it in syria on the other side of the border this north western province is rebel territory and is not under the control of the asset regime. even at the best of times, the people here are largely cut off from the outside world. at 1st too, they found themselves on their own international search and rescue teams with specialist equipment and humanitarian aid. didn't get here for days.

they dug through the rubble with just their hands on the white helmets who have organized civil defense in the areas not controlled by the asset regime during the war. rescued survivors from the rubble up to 3 days after the quake license. i hope the humanitarian organizations can just help us remove the debris and just equipment and medical help. that's all gonna be that engine didas near the turkish border. the destruction was particularly severe. la la, la, la jolla, my brother and his younger son are still under the rubble were not able to get them out. we don't know what to do well covered on the hook. if there had been support yesterday, maybe we could have saved them while so i saw them. i saw blood running out of my

brother's nose moved, his son was in his arms. we rescued his daughter, but then it got dark. on day 7, after the quake, the white helmets ended their search. without the necessary equipment, they had been unable to pull out any survivors from day for the survivors are still waiting for aid. derek dave darlena walking with our situation is very bad. there is no help. we need tents, we need food, we need drink, we just left with what we had on the look at us. we have no shoes. people have lent us clothes for had been our lawn for 9 years now. there has only been one single border crossing between syria and turkey. open for humanitarian aid deliveries to the opposition held area. bob ha ha. according to a un security council resolution,

it's the only place where cross border aid is allowed to pass. but the disaster has partly destroyed surrounding roads and with its security council, vito russia can close the border at any time. a 1st convoy of 6 trucks passed through bub a holla to northern syria on february 9th. but these trucks had been waiting here before the quakes and were only carrying blankets, detergent and diapers. there are few hospitals in eclip. many were destroyed by bombing carried out by the asset regime and its ally russia. that also killed health workers. now the medics are doing what they can, but they are unable to save all the injured law. those saw, i feared it could be if there was a large number of patients, why it's beyond our capacity. despite that, we are doing our very best all about them. without the,

the patients have multiple injuries and need a range of specialists in this hospital that we need across the board support. including surgical and medical supplies and says another available me almost 3000000 people fled here from other parts of syria during the war. now they have lost loved ones and their homes. once more 90 percent of them were already reliant on humanitarian aid. before the quakes seen, i was shorter, i knew and as of we've ended up on the street and more, i'd rather be dead. faith would be better for me that there are no tense ma'am. there's nothing medical, you know, the situation is very bad. it would have been better for me to die with my children

. i jojo molded went over they wait in vain for help, but hundreds of dead are being transported over the border. syrian refugees who died in the earthquake in turkey are being brought home for burial. o. in syria, 5300000 people have been made homeless by the quakes. thousands are dead. how many of them could perhaps have been saved? if international help had arrived were quickly we are now dead. thanks for nothing is written here. these elected regions belonged to 3 different spheres of influence. the kurdish autonomous areas,

regions like italy that are partly under the control of islamist rebels and those under the control of the asset regime. in addition, there are external geopolitical interests that have prevented the arrival of rapid relief and the acid regime has refused to allow aid that arrives in damascus to be transported to areas that are not under its control . thank seeking. this has always been a war against the civilian population. the attacks were always targeted at residential districts and hospitals. at bakeries where people were lining up to buy bread. the weather, as soon as the sun gets control of age channels, it's never going to be used in a fair manner because he's massively attacking exactly those parts of the population and has no interest in their survival. sandy, on this earthquake, to put it very cynically, is very convenient for hamlin him out. it's killing these people without him having to bombard them. nor does he has, you know, one, but yet the west has imposed sanctions on the

asset regime for war crimes against its own people. some in syria are now calling for an end to the sanctions. local, bad luck to saudi, to assess the economic sanctions against our country are the biggest obstacles stopping us from getting heavy equipment to syria. ha ha. after this devastating earthquake this natural disaster had the sanctions have to be lifted. well, as my book club. yeah, we need heavy equipment at a file and fire trucks with a nozzle armada that had begun to sell alice sierra that fought but humanitarian aid supplies and even heavy rescue equipment are not subject to western sanctions. they could be delivered. however, there have been repeated reports that the syrian regime use past a deliveries for its own gain or held them back using them as a bargaining chip in the civil war. up to now,

western governments have ruled out direct co operation with the mask us over humanitarian aid support for assad. since the quakes has come from china, iran, pakistan, and from russia, amongst others. with one week after the disaster, i said, at least to prove the temporary opening of 2 more crossings between syria and turkey for the passage of aid. this at big mountains does guns, claudio earthquake has made it very apparent how absurd the humanitarian mr. sins and northwestern syria are as a result of the russians veto. and the un security council as allies of assad winter to find that it has made it apparent that it is time to change this international practice and has knowledge and to listen to the school of international law that says that in times of extreme humanitarian suffering. it is no longer necessary to go via the security council for men or 20. she runs which i

have been and then in the midst of all this suffering on february, the 8th reports horton suspicions, that asset and turkey had bombarded kurdish areas in northern syria. hit by the quakes. dusty cakes, the fact the warring parties aren't letting their weapons rest in such circumstances is unparalleled in terms of moral reprimands ability and cynicism. in turkey, the earthquakes could also have political consequences. parliamentary and presidential elections are scheduled for the 14th of may even before the quake a when for the authoritarian president regime tie up air to want was not a done deal. now the opposition and survivors are heaping criticism on his crisis management. after the failed coo of 2016 air to one further curved the military's power and only mobilize them 48 hours after the quakes. he's also weakened the

disaster and emergency management authority, installing a theologian at its head, and he slandered and blocked help from the opposition and civil institutions. he blocked access to twitter for a while to silence critics. even though people under the rubble were using social media to send desperate appeals. so another video buff as it got moved on a leash. but it can. trish a few people like the syrian refugee up to rockman raj in the building. he heard the voices of neighboring families that were also trapped. abdur rahman was rescued polish. hello, ms. love, the son of air to one reacted to the disaster with fury and a sense of denial. he said it was fate and that no one could be prepared for such events. he arrested critics and threatened retaliation. do let me look

a little while we are trying to overcome this historical disaster. john yona. we are keeping tabs on those who am to set our people against one another and met with bake news and falsehood. second long talkie video june. although today is not the time to argue with them guys, but when the day comes we will settle our scores. death did the usher, jose is history repeating itself. it was the severe earthquake in easement in 1999 and discontent with a government at the time and its disaster management that rapidly accelerated the rise of air to one and his party. the a k p. could these quakes now cost him? his job are due on his been in power for a long time, which means that she has all the survival skills that he has

a coalition around him and that he get him back him up. so i'm, i think it, the answer is, is not straightforward. it's unclear whether the electrons will take place at all in may or as the constitution dictates by june at the latest. i don't know what he's going to do. you probably have to most fully elections are, but i'm just praying that the nations are held in june. so people who are responsible for this disaster pay a price. oh, back in the village of telecom staff from the turkish ministry of family and social services have arrived. psycho social support is written on their vests. people ask them for tense, but they haven't brought anything with them. they're written follicle on young, we are there to show people that they are not alone. it doesn't matter how small

and how poor villages can say all villages and turkey will be reached out to you. listen, no one until car openly criticize as the government in front of the officials. to enjoy just makes a suggestion. with liz, i'm with there should be records kept of who has received how much aid episode on maybe some other. it shouldn't just be handed out from a truck to those people who get their 1st and can carry more back home, a lot of money to be viable for them. better. the helpers listen politely, but they don't take any notes. then they move on to the next village about in a few days to and i will return to berlin. he says, a lot needs to change in his home country, particularly in terms of public education. but some of the cogent people need to be better informed about the dangers of earthquakes and in the villages to them. oh

e. cochran black hire various story is not an isolated one. shortly after the start of the war, russia passed a law forbidding what they called the discrediting of the russian armed forces. for example, any one who called the war a war rather than a special military operation, as the authorities dictated, risked long sentences. hundreds of russians who openly protested against the war and criticized the kremlin, have been taken to court. some have been imprisoned in the jolly cause apartment, the authorities tried to find evidence that would prove that they had broken. the law says very as mother yelena, they found nothing. even so the jolly cars remain under police observation. yet anna says, her carefree life is over. she no longer feel safe. a short think warden as as the 3 years ago, i couldn't have imagined any thing like this happening in russia. associates a day,

defenses and more mangrove restoration. the fight against lucy and global injustice on pari has just begun. our last stop is pulleys where brown bears are once again living in the forest on the carpathian mountains. animal rights activists are delighted, but forest owners and timber producers are annoying to the bears have a future here. here in the forests of southern poland, bears can still feel at home. with the towering old trees offer the beer shelter and protection. but now the forest has become a source of contention. josefina and jakob are conservationists. they take stock of the ancient trees, tall ones like these are marked for felling, which could have serious consequences. animals have

a place to hide. at the beginning, it may be smaller animals like fox and later on it can become even bigger, and it can become inhabited by bur. the red dot marks the tree for felling a decision made by polish forest authorities. these trees are not standing in a nature reserve. that's a problem for the bears. logging interest take priority here. that limits the spaces where bears can live undisturbed. forrest authorities, warren visitors not to get too close to the animals, but that rarely happens anyway. the department has an open air exhibit with an overview of many of the local forest animals, except the beer. any special protection for the beers would be unnecessary, says the spokesman for the regional state forests given her her fish on getting to finish something local. we saw the 1st bears here in 1951 like his up escape. if you're going to show them by the 1970 s,

there were 20 bears guns v and now we've got 200, hold the hostile. that's quite a big increase. so the last hunter, mush polish forestry authorities are more focused on logging the cause of rushes war in ukraine. lumber prices are high and fuel is scarce. was now going to zip code of them sleep, not listeners it ref a. or if from time to time, if view of the trees worthy of protection that all the hotels were the ones that could be natural. monuments obviously are cut down density. deep in the forest, far from civilization. a few forest activists have set up a protest camp taking a stand against loggers. not every one is happy with their protests. a car near the camp was attacked and the conflict gets heated. the 4 as active as don't live in this region. but in warsaw or other major cities,

yackel josefina and raffo don't intend to back down. even as he stung out, jimmy kip of tempe, we own i see the mass of destruction going on here for somebody to put on an answer . and then, and i don't condone it is good enough. those are both are curved, those are starving. sure. i want my daughter to be able to enjoy these old forests in the future. these butcher wong, starter la sir, and perhaps still see bears to. of course, if all the old trees are chopped down, the animals will move somewhere else. they may even enter areas populated by humans, which could be dangerous. but his problem with that new can become a problem in recent decades to ship incidents with bears where humans get hurt or increasingly carmen. one person even died for the community. so people in animals of the region have one thing in common. their camera shy.

many people here work in the timber industry on signs. they don't man's words about how they see the activists. there are equal terrorists. but josefina and jacobo believe many residents don't realize how close the relationship between bears and trees is you can quite easily imagine howard bear. that is the big animal of 200 kilograms. could actually fit inside the tree inside this tree. not now, but in the, in the future, if the 3 will become hollowed out. i think the whole family of bears. good said they've often asked authorities to police old, rotting trees under protection. requests that have almost always been denied. ah,
