osman garza university. good morning. ok. these are very serious situation here on the ground. what more can you tell us if morning? well, this is really terribly terrible news in the morning as well as you know, in turkey we have 2 main sources or k sources. i'm in one of them is not until the unfold sun and the other one is the east and napoleon or sun. well, this is do this earthquake or kurt on the east anatoly unfold sun, which is one of the most active falls off the eastern mediterranean region and it's a quite large earthquake. and after the earthquake, it's of moderate size. the aftershocks are cooked and it gave i'm an extra damage to the buildings and i am sure i'm kid, that out of people are major cities such as a stumble or on kara at risk or any other cities. and well,

not at the moment. i'm not as a result of this earthquake because the earthquake is in the south eastern part of turkey. but of course, i mean there are other says like de albuquerque garza on tipt, caron marsh, and also on takia. they are also, and i mean, major cities of the, of the region and the i, as far as i know some high i'm in toll booths, collapsed, for example, at owner in county and shandra and dealbreaker. so, did this earthquake affected a large area? now unfortunately, it's not the 1st mass of earthquake that you're here has faced. why do you think this is so devastating this time? but because i the do the job search, the length of the ruptured fault is long. it is about maybe i'm in no more than 200

kilometers, considering the length of the falls and also the depth of the fold. so you should expect this slash earthquake, i mean on the full sun. and the also this part of the full sun must quite for a long think. for example, before this earthquake, there was a larger case in 1114. that means about a 900 year cycle. so considering the slip rate on the 4th sun and the expected actually this dislodged or kick in that reason because that a of us quite a while a long time for her almost 900 years, there was no leisure creek on that part of the fall. so that's why i'm in this distill or creek is lunch. and personally i do you have relatives or friends who have been affected by the quake? how worried are people right now about for their turn, tremors or after shots? well, actually i have no relatives and no, i mean i had, i have friends in near cities and i called them and there. okay. and there i had

a note about this, but i'm in all of them are people you see i'm in vero, people and event someone is injury or death v v v v v v feed. sorry, actually that that's yeah. how do you, how do you think regional emergency services are handling this situation right now? well, i consider that the magnitude of to earthquake. i don't think there is enough rest to. i'm in, in that reason. so got it. i think be different than yet. international health is because, considering the, i'm in the winter time, there are a lot of villages and the also, you know, snowballs and i, i think at the moment people are, i mean rescue people on the working in the city census and the air outside. i am conscious sight, i am sure a lot of people need help and i don't think it out. turkish rescue team can go

everywhere who had the effect that i'm doing through creek. so if this is a g to city situation in turkey at the mall. yeah, i mean, you mentioned that there's not enough people. do you think it will take a long time to conduct these rescue operations actually develop you may know that the turkish yes, good. tim is quite mobilized. diamond did. they can go as soon as possible, but, but i mean i'm in this earthquake for example was fest. it may be more than 200000 kilometers square. so of course, to think the damage i'm in in that area. the area is huge and that's why i'm and i say that i'm in the present is rescue. tim can not go everywhere because it is as easy, huge a. i know it's difficult, but is there anything at all that could be done by authorities to minimize future risks? when dakin warn people,

i'm in the if there are in booths, et cetera. i'm in the diamond domestic buildings but not collapsed. i mean people different did they can one than i mean did it, dont quote close to the boosting or advanced state insight. so at the moment i'm in it, i am sure people. i was working hard in that vision, so i did it. everyone can do. i'm in dave best, but let's see if i can not imagine i'm in the casualty in j. r. hon alta now professor of geology to ask is the header osman garza university. thank you. thank you. after shocks could be felt at neighboring syria as well were health ministry reports, at least $237.00 people killed, and more than $500.00 injured in the countries northwestern regions. videos from the scene show people being pulled from the rubble and clearing up the effects of

. in 2011. of course instruction that happened as a result. they see the same image of destruction. there's the same pain written minutes. your hoax, 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 the government told area that we're not even speaking, guess about the areas like that which is occupied by terrorists groups like our front over there. we don't know about the condition over there. and because of the occupation of service groups over there, the document and, and medical teams cannot even reach those areas and reach the effect that the people the residents as a result of the earthquake. the new casualty figures just coming in now. the vice president of turkey says 284 people have been confirmed, killed in the earthquake with more than 2000 wounded. you can stay up to date on all of the latest information coming in at our website at

r t dot com live. now to all per could chuck director general of the international affairs of migration ad rud, crescent, good morning of sod circumstances. what information do you have from local hospitals and how are they coping with the situation? you just said to me, numbers for people just rolled in emergency situations with emergency food provision. that's what we do. boats affected population search and rescue teams on those records on the emergency deployed, and we probably have infected to get the support of you providing food and also emergency main blanket flu combination. we do have other roles and sheltering some hospital for disney

impacted. we. busy establishing a whole 10 outside the hospital for, for our service event hospital are now be implementing for example, outside the home and outside because the main hospital is impacted. so we are deploying shelton to the public will be primarily well, based on what you said so far, how much time do you think it will take to conduct rescue operations to get people out of this trouble? it's hard to get for me. my might not be the best person to respond well, definitely significant before the going to by all jo civil society. i know the affected population there, supporting progress report and i will look,

you mobilize what you have also mentioned for such and such a nephew. so the teams looking more on the ground to go get the condition that we can challenge the effort all from what it's sorry. go ahead. well, what difficulties are rescue workers? what other difficulties are rescue workers facing now in their mission? it's mostly the better condition. it's not only cold or rainy, it's snowing and some of the problems, it's raining in front of them. it's not. and so it's all in the mind michigan and the most challenging part of the better on the

so other than that of course, but your message impact or national can be appealing for an international support mobile emergency room as well. so this is also the number of rescue working and the number of teams will be necessary to be at all the regents of bailable culture. and if the more they arrive as soon as the operations will function well, this situation is obviously very difficult to predict. but is it possible for authorities to minimize future risk what might be a question for you all, i'm sure all the prices are nation minutes. i know. busy of office,

70 all the nation, minnesota pharmacy. we are not the one to accept them on behalf of i know the appeal to international organization has been put out, but has anybody a pledge to help from afar? a we member of the family. a lot of reaching out to us and there are all people vision plan mechanism. we activate a purchase. busy launching an emergency appeal for the nation and all the us on the other countries will be contributing to, to our mechanism. we activate the distribution. we have received a lot of calls from from the side

of the company, but also national variation partners. reaching out to see how they can help. there's a lot of solidarity being extended to us and coordination with the. busy world except most of the priorities and speaking of a solidarity. now syria has also been affected is the work of the metrics. rescuers and volunteers. there are more complicated than inter care. all yes, as you said this morning, this morning. the poach muscle all and i'd have to send a message to my counterpart that's not up for them to be hosted. so then

we can do any of them. we can access the modem. so there will be needed in the patient via votes. primarily for me to do national emergency, we will explore and see if there's an area that we can support each other as well. thank you very much. offer to chuck director general of international affairs and migration at red crescent the u. s. actions undermine this. i know us efforts to stabilize relations. that's the message from the chinese deputy foreign minister commenting on the attack on a chinese weather balloon. us actions against the chinese balloon has seriously affected and damaged both sides efforts and progress in stabilizing sino us 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 interest 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 with value to us intelligence local residents were also warned to not touch or move any remains which could be washed ashore as they are part of the federal investigation. the chinese weather balloon was 1st spotted aiden u. s. territory last week, hovering for days and raising fears among politicians. it could be spying on nuclear facilities. thus, despite beijing's numerous warnings that the stray balloon is designed purely for civilian use and had unintentionally cross us borders, the balloon was eventually shot down on saturday, c, g, t, and corresponded

t m. u on san says washington's hype over what they call another threat from china, contradict bilateral agreements between the countries. how the u. s. 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 a military or physical scratch to 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 as could leave 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 went off course and drifted across the us in circumstances that were out of the chinese government's 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 guess to chinese territories. take the south china sea, for example, every year the u. s. military wise, hundreds by planes of the region for recognizance and us naval ships have frequently flex their muscles year chinese waters, including the pilots rates under the guise of so called freedom of navigation. us military activities have also caused casualties among chinese military personnel and civilians. over the years, china and d u. s. has experienced far worse situations in recent decades, and here they are. so we will have to wait and we didn't see the russian foreign minister circ a live rob has arrived in iraq, capital baghdad, to conduct talks with the countries top officials as part of his chore to africa in middle east nation. it's the 1st visit of the russian delegation to the country
