ah, ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin a month after the turkey syria earthquake, millions are still affected. we report from near it live in northwest and syria. west. thousands of people are displaced too traumatized and fearful to return to damage. building. also on the program,

a huge fire leaves thousands of ringo muslims without possessions and shelter at the world's biggest refugee camp and southern bangladesh. and in german bonus league, hooker, wolf, bergen. frank traded punches in a goal filled and counter, but neither side managed enough out. ah, my manuscripts, mccann, and thanks very much for joining us. it's been exactly one months now since a massive earthquake hit, southern turkey and northwest and syria, more than 50000 people were killed in the worse natural disaster in modern turkish history. now the quakes epicenter was near the turkish city of gather and tap close to the syrian border. millions of people have been affect it, they've been injured,

left homeless, or are lacking basic facilities. and anchor declared 3 months, state of emergency for the 10 provinces that were most affected. the government also arrested contractors suspected of shoddy building that may have vastly increased the death toll. now after years of war, the situation in northwest and syria is harder to evaluate. the sissy's overlap. whoa. and it lib were among those badly harris and a powerful aftershock in the following weeks triggered new fares, t w's mohammed al refi reports. now, from it lab at nightfall, the 44 year old m r for he'd fills his car with blankets and drives to the outskirts of globe far away from the cities crumbling residential buildings. he spends the night here with the sun since the 2nd earthquake struck,

northwestern, syria and turkey. hundreds of families are afraid to sleep in their own homes, for fear of being trapped inside. if they collapse. little as early as is after all the earthquakes, my son and i are traumatized, and that you didn't. you didn't it. we don't dare stay at home because it's not safe. there was leon. we haven't bought a tent and tense costs between $2400.00 and we can't afford wanda. we've decided to stay here with her. i medina, horning the earthquakes that struck northern syria and killed almost 6000 people. also destroyed thousands of structures. after the 2nd quake, nearly 200000 people were displaced. families abandoned their homes as aftershocks made the initial damage from the quakes, even worse. many moved into tents in front of their houses, or in other public places. a son of relief organization based in germany,

says the challenges are numerous. hm. and my what the law, the most crucial obstacle to expanding refugee camps. julian to accommodate the enormous number of people displaced by the earthquakes. money is that the communities were not ready to build such facilities and lockers. and as the challenge of providing enough tense, donnelly, with that i 2nd earthquake like a little more, even more people abandoned their homes that are to fall on that because of the trauma they experience. should it be in the shop, in the 1st one of his other a well near the city of id lib mohamad with carney offered shelter on his farm and swimming facility to people who have lost their homes or to families who are afraid their buildings will collapse. on them, but in this villas, as after the 1st earthquake, we receive 20 families who lost their homes of sunny jana. and after the 2nd one rollin many more came here because they were afraid to stay in their building sort

of. and this will, although, as you can see um is difficult to meet their needs at almost martha for thousands of syrians, the choice is between living on the streets or living in fear. okay, let's bring in thomas ban, says his the assistant turkey country director at the 8 organization. karen, he joins us now from the turkey city of gassy. ann tap, thanks for your time. thomas, can you tell us? is aid now reaching all of those who need it? is coming in coming in at some, some scale now. but you know, there are always going to be people who are the last to receive assistance, especially in the biggest this cost $11.00 problems of turkey across the whole. northern syria. i think in turkey we're talking about close to 170000 buildings are either collapsed or also damaged or no longer habitable. we're

talking about the 2700000 people who become displaced, left the 11 provinces, and we're talking about tens of thousands of people in the northwest of syria as well, and the dental as well above 50000. so i think in those circumstances where there is just so much devastation and there is so much need. and then that way can be people who are, who are, who don't receive aid and as quickly as, as being desirable. but it is coming in. it is scaling up already doing as much as they possibly can. the agencies who also affected, unfortunately in this are quite many of them were based in the city of high tide and takia in south se turkey. they were also affected, losing staff members and offices, and so on. and that made the response, i think more challenging that the scale is still very difficult to get and i get one's head around. it has been a month now since the earthquakes. what are the challenges, obviously, numerous,

but what are the biggest challenges right now? i think the biggest challenge is, is the scale and disbursement. so certainly in turkey, i think it's a question of you know, making sure that everyone has basic items that they at least have a tent that they have items to, to sleeping close to where things to cook with, especially is still the tail end of winter. here, so it is still quite cold and it was absolutely freezing a month ago when the us right tracking got minus 7 at the time. so there was a big rush to provide on basic shows, right, and basic, basic items for now to keep warm food, hot meals, and so on. so these items emergency items are still very much in need. there's also, i think now i need to think about what happens in the, in the medium term beyond tanks and this sort of distribution because it's very difficult to live in tents for more than more than a few

a few months really. so what happens between now the emergency phase and when reconstruction occurs and what's the, what's the intervening phase and the recovery phase, i guess you can call it. and that's where i think thinking in the it's interesting to return, i think it's all the more difficult in northwest syria because of course we're dealing with the situation of protracted conflict. so doing the situation where the earthquake was on top of 10 years of displacement, we have, you know, more than 1700000 people living in spontaneously settled displacement sites across the northwest as a color outbreak. many of those people living in old tens by 800000 people living in old tents. and most of those people are children. and so the earthquake comes on top of this already existing humanitarian catastrophe. and i think that makes the response all the more difficult and demanding in that context. it's just got a couple of seconds left thomas, but i wanted to ask you about the response from the international community. what

is still needed on, on a larger scale in response to this quite frankly, unimaginable situation. well, and i think basically funding funding for relief items, but also funding for longer term items, longer term shelters. i'm to restore people, lives, lives, and livelihoods in the medium. tom thomas dancers, so the 8 organization that care and gassy, untapped in turkey. thank you so much for your time. thank you. a massive fire has destroyed make shift accommodation at the world's largest refugee camp. more than 2000 shelters of burned down at cox's bizarre and bangladesh, but there were no reports of death or even injuries. the facility houses hundreds of thousands of ringa muslims who fled persecution in neighbouring at me and mar. for 3 hours, a massive fire burned through section of cut to prolong the world's largest refugee

settlement by the time firefighters and volunteers were able to put it out to please had destroyed around 2000 shelters. as well as dozens of mosques and schools . the camps here are home to most of the, nearly $1000000.00 rowing refugees in bangladesh, which shelter is made of canvas and bamboo, crowded next to each other. the settlement has suffered hundreds of fires in recent years. affecting every year i had taken my mother to see the doctor. when i came back, everything was on file. we couldn't save any of our belongings. yeah. now i have 7 children. when the fire broke out, i couldn't find them. i went to search for them. but i couldn't find them all i have worked on when i returned home. all my things were burned. you do alone, and i haven't, if nothing left for them was very good as or good. the rowing are mostly muslim

minority who fled a brutal crack down in me. a mar debt began in 2016 attempt to send them back. have failed. after meeting fierce resistance un agencies of called me a mars prosecution of the ringer genocide and ethnic cleansing. while staying in the refugee camps may be safer than returning to man mar. it's still full of risks . and not just from fires. days ago, he funding shortfall forced to world food program to reduce aid to the rowing your refugees who are already at risk. if malnutrition a devastating blow, especially for the estimated 12000 people who lost her homes in the fire, china has announced that it will be boosting its military spending in the coming years to counter what it describes as escalating threats from abroad. the move was announced at the national people's congress, a robust on parliament,

which is currently meeting in beijing. official said the country's military budget would increase by 7.2 percent. now, china's current military budget is around $225000000000.00 us dollars. that's only about a quarter of that of the united states. china's military activities are being watched with concern by taiwan, which early a warned of the need to be on high alert for china entering areas close to its territory earlier. i also journalist fabi unclenched my in beijing, if there would be any response to this warning by the chinese government. yeah, probably today, later during the press conference of the foreign ministry, but definitely not as part of the a national people's congress because the agenda has been set very or for a long time. and this is not really how the congress works. it doesn't have much room for am day to day replies, but i think that i wants defense ministers. the statement is quite relevant because

it comes at a time during which are china's military ascending almost on a daily basis. fighter jets who reach close to taiwan, who are regularly entre tiwana, air defense identification zone that is not tie once air space. but it's kind of a buffer zone between taiwan and china. and i think the fear in tonawanda set a, china's military will, you know, tests, it's a limits and basically sentence, fighter jets are further and further and closer to the island. and taiwan has already been mentioned during this chinese communist party. yeah, congress has a net. can you, can you tell us what was said yesterday prime in a certainly could she and gave a one hour speech and he also mentioned how one i would say the rhetoric with what was rather subdued. it was softer than last year. and he repeated china's official stance that it opposes and taiwan independence and that it promotes, quote unquote, peaceful reunification. and a compared to last year he made, for example, her very arms stern warning against foreign interference. this he did not repeat

this year, so i would say it is rather softer in tone. okay. softer but the, the chinese communist parties leadership, as we said, has as an announce this increase in the military spending of more than 7 percent this year. so can you give us a sense of how big this increase actually is and, and what message is at sending yeah, it's a very complex issue because 1st of all, it's not surprising. i'm usually, i'm, china's military goals are laid out in 5 year plan. so we could already expect an increase around 7 percent, and that is quite a lot. but on the other hand, it doesn't factor in inflation, which then if you look at it, the actual increase is not bit high as it might seem. but i think the real issue here that china system and especially the military, has become increasingly opaque and there are a lot of resources that the chinese government will allocate towards the military that don't show up in any official statistics. and bits makes it really very hot

and for observe us to really assess the strength of china's ability. that's really not easy in k fabi. and thanks so much us 5 in fetch my reporting from beijing sticklett. now some of the other news making headlines around the world south korea's government has announced to plan to and a long running dispute with japan. it's proposing that japan uses public funds to compensate victims of force labor during japanese rule of the korean peninsula. japan has argued for years that the issue was settled with compensation payments it made back in 1965 police in pakistan say they've tried to arrest the form of prime minister emron con at his home in law. they couldn't find him and were instead met by hundreds of his supporters. con is accused of failing to declare gifts he received while in office. he's denying the charges. thousands of venezuelans and paid tribute to the former president hugo chavez. on the 10th

anniversary of his death, crowds visited the socialist lead as tomb and an old military barracks to mark the occasion. chavez ruled venezuela from 1999 until his death from cancer in 2013 to ukraine. now, where the head of the russian back to mercenary wagner group has warned that his troops fighting to take the eastern city of buck moot, could be running out of ammunition in a message on the group's telegram channel. the chief, if any provision said that russia's front lines nearby, mood could collapse if his forces did not receive ammunition promised by moscow. last month's ukraine's president below them is the lensky says, his troops are in a, quote, painful and difficult battle to hold on to the route. and it's estimated that a year of war has shrunk, ukraine's economy by half as russian attacks devastate energy infrastructure,

disrupt production, and block ports. but work is ongoing despite the attacks, the w's. nick connelly has been to meet people in the neat pro region who are keeping ukraine's metals industry going, despite the asterix. ah, it's a sound that means one thing. time to head for safety on the ground. no matter how many times you've heard, it never stopped being unnerving when will began seeking shelter. also, men stopping work a year on and production of this metal block continues regardless. thanks to this improve, i set up a little more than a few computers and internet connection people down here and keep the machines running up above. their boss shows us his emergency supplies if needed. he tells us they could survive on these provisions for days or even weeks through so far, this talk hasn't been hit with the russian troops still less than 100 kilometers

away. the risks are real. lee really believe that this is war and no one can possibly know what will happen tomorrow. so just go to him and we can't afford not to be prepared. a decision is a boss. i pray will never need any of this with. but other ukrainian companies have been less fortunate to russian missiles a few days apart it this production cited in the pro, killing 2 people at the 1st strike not come on the weekend. that figure would likely have been far higher. it's lottery, i to lottery's a real can can time can come any time at any place. it any house at any facility. my 1st time here i sold the pictures. they did a one to come because i remember the equipment. i remember how much effort was spent making all this and that's russian. russian world is came to my a plant that how it looks like we visited other vicious loves factories. it's still

going, but it's struggling with the effects of russian attacks when you cranes power system . yeah. that the power bill dog. yeah. well we have, it will get warm the last couple of months. when there is the wrong it alert. i turned off all the electricity and that happens on predictably never, it never happens. we will lose around the result of years. you know, one minute the material inside seeking not lose the temperature went delete the temperature, the brake brain generators made all the difference. workers can now prevent uncontrolled shutdowns, buying time to buy pin natural gas that stabilizes the temperature until means electricity returns. where before they would lose days of production every time the power went off. now it's down to a matter of hours. the power isn't the only problem they're dealing with here.

ukrainian firms operating against all the odds are increasingly finding that many customers in europe don't want to work with them. they're afraid that will prevent the ukrainian supplies from delivering more. i that wonderful guy that everything was just fighting everybody fighting. my job is to make sure that the vendors are working on getting salary. i can help soldiers, i can buy with them. but not every business can role with the punches like this one that you love tells us that at least a quarter of his competitors have already got out of business. and the bankruptcies keep coming from the resilience i'm show ukraine's economy is still in free for leaving this country. and it's all me ever more dependent on international support now it's tony as center, right. prime minister is set to remain in power after winning an election that was

dominated by the war and ukraine. the liberal reform policy of kaya callas 137 of the 101 seats that were up for grabs, putting her on track to lead another coalition in the nato member state estonia which borders russia has been one of europe's most staunchly pro key governments under her lead leadership and we can brandy w correspondent jennifer palka. he joins us now from the estonian capital talon and kaya. tell us is now very likely to govern for a 2nd term. can you tell us what that means for a stone? you're going forward? yes, the estonian new government is going to face some serious national and international challenges. let's talk 1st about the national challenges. first up is the high inflation rate. the inflation rate here in estonia is 18.6 percent, which is one of the highest in europe. also on the agenda are high energy prices

and alternative energy sources, but also international challenges, especially russia's invasion of ukraine are on the agenda. the new government is expected to aid ukraine as they did in the last year with financial military and humanitarian aid. now, around 25 percent of estonians do have russian roots and, and the war has rekindled a debase over variety of controversial issues. what do the people in estonia with russian roots, think of the, the, the present government and its, its support of, of keith? well, there is a split going on in the russian speaking minority here in estonia, on the one hand, they consider themselves to be estonian citizens. but on the other hand, they still have very strong ties to russia and russian culture. and this means that the estonian government stands towards russia to paint them very, very much. also the recent removal of soviet era monuments here in estonia,

heard them and also sparked fears that they would lose their identity. here in estonia, it is very, very likely that the russians, speaking minority here in australia, didn't support tie a callous reform party and didn't vote for them in case assessing those close ties to russia to one side. the invasion of ukraine sparked fears in talent that a russian victory might in bold, moscow to turn its attention to other countries that it used to control and soviet times is tanya is of course a ne, so member. so, you know, are people really worried about the risk of a, of a russian invasion? there is concerned about a russian invasion here, especially because russian president vladimir putin has threatened in the last year the baltic states. according to the of a story and foreign intelligence service, russia considers the baltic states as nato's weak link. and in an event of nato, russia conflict, they will become the main focus of possible russian military pressure. jennifer
