of earthquake that turkey has face. why is it so devastating this time? i mean detergent, turkey, it has so many devastated earthquakes in the last century. 80000 of our citizens died because of the earthquakes. i mean, the report says that in the last century, and unfortunately it are alyssa, our memories are not going very, very back here. but unfortunately there has been so many damages and deaths because of the earthquakes. and so this is not very less safe until now. i'll be don't see da damage that occurred in the 1999 earthquakes a night in, during the night. 9 to 9 not quakes is made. you know, approximately a 17000 people died. and there is also another as degenerate quick. it's in

but our citizens are in danger. unfortunately, i know so our citizens, some of our seasons, are on the damaged buildings. and that's very sad for us. and as of right now, how our regional emergency service is handling the situation? i mean, in terms of search of the search and rescue a turkey is very ready now up at this very well experienced. but the thing is a b just cold air force level calling. that means a are awaiting some other search and rescue teams from all around the world. because the numbers here damaged areas are the provinces are very high, and that's why i app rates. maybe our teams are not be enough, but we will see that awfully a opperation. will that be going on

a very well that and very fast and is it possible to prepare for such events or beforehand? what should be done to avoid ah, for future risk? i mean, it's not that hot to be a prepared but eat some a scientific research such as seismic risk and hazard analysis, a v can analysis, the future has a poor d, a future modeled earthquakes. but it's very important to, let's say, very well focused engineering studies must be house unfortunate. the ed debts are weak part in turkey and the, the governmental organizations we are pushing to governmental organizations to give money for these kind of, to give research money for this kind of resource and to be ready. and so we have to

do after we had the do these analysis, we have to, let's say, a modified our cities are using these analysis, i think will be need to do this kind of research more. and it's not that hard, but it's, it's time consuming. and it's actually a money consuming, let's say, but we need to do that. canon are, they ran director of center for energy, the environment, and natural disasters at the university of bengal. thank you for that comprehensive report in what you're welcome. aftershocks could be fell at neighboring syria as well were health ministry reports, at least 111 people killed and more than 500 injured in the countries. north western regions, videos from the scene show people being pulled from the rubble and clearing up the effects of the destruction. and for the latest updates on the deadly earthquake, inter kia had to

r t dot com. or you can also find reactions and analysis on our stories. u. s. actions undermine the sino us efforts to stabilize relations. that's a message from the chinese deputy foreign minister commenting on the attack on a chinese weather balloon. u. s. actions against the chinese balloon half seriously affected and damaged both sides. if it's in progress in stabilizing sino u. s. relations. china strongly opposes this. a no, just the u. s. to stop homing, china's interests in escalating tensions. the chinese government is paying close attention to the development of the situation and will resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of chinese companies. defend the interests and dignity of china and reserves. the right to react further is necessary. the u. s. military is currently searching for the remnants of the chinese balloon, which was shot down last week off the coast of south carolina. defense officials said an investigation is ongoing with navy divers at the scene. looking to recover

any material would value to us intelligence. local residents were also war not to touch or move any remains which could be washed ashore, as they are part of a federal investigation. the dtn corresponded. he and young son says washington's hype over what they call. another threat from china contradicts bilateral agreements between the countries. how the us side responded to the balloon incident appeared to be contradicting what the 2 leaders had agreed upon. last year. the pentagon said the chinese balloon does not present and military or physical threats to the people on the ground, but the military shot down anyway. even so, republicans have criticized president biden as been weak towards china and failing to take action quickly enough. if the american politicians and some media continue to hype the incident as another china threats, this could lead little room for the 2 sides to de escalate the issue. now this

could be seen as a double standard on the part of the u. s. a chinese balloon when, of course, and drifted across the us in circumstances that were out of the chinese government control. but closely related to tie one was planned despite beatings, repeated warnings, and could be seen as a challenge should one china principle. in fact, the u. s. has been a frequent uninvited guest to chinese territories. take the south china sea for example. every year the us military flies, hundreds by planes of the region for recognizance and us naval ships have frequently flex their muscles. the are chinese waters, including the pilots rates under the guise of so called freedom of navigation. u. s . military activities have also caused casualties among chinese military personnel and civilians. over the years, china and the us has experienced far worse situations in recent decades. here the ours, so we will have to wait and when see, ah, russian foreign minister survey laugh rob has arrived in iraq's capital of baghdad

a mass of 7.8. magnitude earthquake has hit center through here with 76 people dead and hundreds of residential buildings destroyed. rescue services continue to search for victims, ineffective provinces with many still trapped under rubble. ah, these pictures show an entire 9 story building destroyed by the earthquake. the earthquake knocked down 531 buildings in just the city of ghazi in tip. according to the governor, other footage of the quake disastrous impact came from a number of the countries regions locals are helping emergency services rescue those remain under the rubble. the national interior minister has announced the highest emergency alert level, a warning you may find the following image is distressing. aftershocks could be felt in neighboring syria as well. we're health ministry reports at least 237 people killed. and more than 500 injured in the countries north western regents

videos from the scene show people being pulled from the rubble and clearing up the effects of the destruction. while now the syrian journalist mohammed ali, what, what is the situation in syria right now in this morning, and how serious is the damage? well definitely it's a very difficult situation since the largest, perhaps the earthquake hitting the country since 1995 at least 237 people have been killed and 639 injured mostly in the cities a lot. talk a little. huh. and this is according to the minutes your health here in to yeah, of course. also the latest updates the just that there has been a new earthquake, which is pretty like let's talk about

a 36 am local time over here. also through president heading currently a cabinet meeting to discuss the emergency plan that should be implemented. and the steps that should be taken. also the ministry of the frontier and stated that the army will be involved in all its efforts in the search and rescue operation. all medical team in cities that were not affected close to the northern parts of serial, like homes, will be sent also to a live quote, to act in helping the needy. this is definitely a very difficult situation, doesn't the building have collapsed as a result of this earthquake? even here in the capital then asked the resident, woke up at 4 17 am local time. they all felt earthquake. they ran into the

streets and they get trying to get away from the hearing of any collapses, but the situation in damascus. the date, however, those and most effective are the northern cities. those are closest to the border, it would be turkish fide. and the number of people killed or injured in the getting a higher as a result, there are 4 people missing people under the rebels. so we have to wait and see what will happen in the coming to hours. a very serious situation. have you heard about any casualties from your friends, relatives, and are people further worried about potential shocks? well, definitely people are worried. this is not something that they actually experienced to before, especially here in the capital, damascus. and in those nearby history in the city, i have some friends and po,

and many of them had their apartment to perhaps partially damage to her, telling me about the destruction over there. they said that instruction always only reminds them of the war that happened in here. yes, in 2011, of course instruction that happened as a result, they see the same image of destruction. there's the pain. however, there will be the results are different and also what is happening is due to an earthquake, not due to war, but they do know that pain and they do know those images of destruction over there actually in that part of syria. and which with so much battle during the crisis and during the war, that's part in 2011. i have some colleagues called refers to also that i've been texting. they told me about the structure over there, the fear, the panic, ambling vehicles on the street. there are many also cars that were damaged,

that the result of the collapses. and people over there are here, but everyone's trying to help each other in that part of the a very difficult situation for everyone there. because syria was struck by the aftershock of the earthquake. and what are officials saying about future risk? well, we still don't have any official statements in that regard of a told you through president is currently heading a cabinet meeting to discuss a plan emergency plan that should be taken. but everyone is on high alert to all concerned science, perhaps to demonstrate defense them in your help. even the university of both both point, all exams were scheduled today. the railways establishment, for example, across the country op all a train movement to the results of the earthquake. everyone's trying to help in

order to get out of the situation. but definitely it is unprecedented. and it is very difficult for us. do you think there's anything that government can do to minimize risks for future earthquakes? well, it doesn't seem that there is anything anyone can do in this regard. because if we look at the condition of the residential building across the country or a country, all the residential buildings have been built like 10 years ago. they are not earthquake resistance, let's say. so it's definitely difficult to have any land that would minimize any risk in the future if we get any, if we, if we serious offers from any future earthquake. but what can be done is that did the syrian official, the 30 minutes, your health and medical team,

they're all on high alert to even private hospital doors have been open for all condition, but this is the most that they can do. this is in government told area, we're not even speaking about the area which is occupied by terrorists group or from over there. we don't know about the condition over there and because of the occupation of service groups over there, the documents and, and medical teams cannot even reach those areas and reach the effected people, the residence as a result of the earthquakes. mohammed ali here and journalist, thank you very much. those are the top stories. this our coming up report surface at a ca, representative offer duration and thank you for the grain in exchange for ending the conflict. washington has rejected this assertion, peter laval guess the next on our cheese cross. thanks judy, and we'll see you back at the top of the hour with
