it's not only called or raining solving in the problem. it's raining or not. and so it's all going on the minus if you're getting the most challenging part of the next year for now, the better to get deployed and we probably be heavily impacted to be able to support all of you providing food and also emergency blanket flu operation, post on hospitals for it's impacted, we at establishing up whole 10 outside the hospital for 3 hours. so hospital are now being dumpling, outside the home and outside because the main hospital is impacted. so we are deploying public, moving primarily let's 1st live now to tanya. good.

susie is stumble, base canadian journalists, and head of interviews at t. r. t world. good afternoon. what is the situation right now? our major cities such as in symbol or a car at risk. well, everybody living here knows that the, the risk of an earthquake is pretty high. and in fact we all live in fear of that. of the big one that we're told will one day. yesterday there was a lighter tremor felt around and we all hope that that was the end of it and it turned out to be a breaker. so this big one and for those old enough to remember the 2nd very likely to hit the country back in 1999. you had almost 18000 people who died in the quick example that was

7.6 magnitude earthquake. and this one that hit this morning, 7.4 death toll is expected to rise up to. it's reported to be over 260 right now on the phone, but with the number of wounded and, and people still trapped that number could go up with those numbers being so high. unfortunately, do you have any relatives or friends who have been affected by the quick and how worried are people about further tremors or aftershocks? oh, absolutely. they've already been reported. they've already reported aftershock. ringback in 9 problems, some as high as 3.4 magnitude. so we are afraid everybody knows somebody who's been affected. if not somebody direct me then call friends who have family in guys or, or nearby. some have been fortunate and they weren't affected,

but most of them who lived there quick. i have called me who are finding it very, very difficult to deal with the hiring images that we're seeing in the media. those again, who are old enough to remember the earthquake of 999, but then this is very traumatic. i saw one colleague burst into tears earlier just looking at the pictures. it has been a very, very emotional grade for even those in the sample. we, many of us didn't feel like it was 5 am and that was the bus, you know, a couple of hours later now reports say on car could appeal for international health and dealing with the consequences of this disaster. what has been offered, who has offered it, and what an aide is needed. most right now on the ground. information minister has said that all, all

a piece has been mobilized nationally. we're talking armed forces, gendarmerie, the rescue organizations, red crescent, they're all on the ground. a couple of hours ago, they were all, if they were not already on the ground, they were heading their country forward with a group of assistance has offered assistance. i believe there be done is also rescue rescue team. condolences of also been coming in from the country, but yeah, we're talking very arduous, very difficult rescue condition temperature, knowing raining schools are already cancelled today on account of the weather. so with your plate, you can imagine already the conditions already back. yes, we've heard reports about the weather and just a massive, massive event ahead. it's not the 1st massive earthquake, however that,

that turkey has experience. as you mentioned earlier, do you expect any measures to be taken to increase at i guess at a government level, the readiness for any potentially future disasters? what can be done? the readiness is there already again. 1999 was a be lesson and a lot of buildings have been for to fight to meet earthquake, earthquake group standards. some hasn't been i mean again, i'm not a say small ages and i'm not a specialist in the kind of anything that has that need to be taken. but he, at the center of this earthquake, he's not necessarily very affluent area. so i am quite sure how many of the buildings were were earthquake booth. and when a c, a recorder also reported you're looking at much older building, suffering the devastation, including unesco heritage site. though there's only so much that can be done

realistically to prevent this. you know, when an earthquake of this magnitude hits no matter how many issues you take, you're going to have a large scale just now we've just received updated casualty figures this minute, nearly 1000 have been confirmed. caled, can we still expect these numbers to raise further? and now what economic impact could this potentially have on the affected regions? this is what everyone is afraid of. everyone is afraid of the casualties the, the wound, it absolutely can go up. they can because the rescue operation is still under way. there are countless people still stuck in the rubble. countless people being rushed to the hospitals. we don't, we don't really know why this number can go. remember it. 999 magnitude of 7.6 resulted in 18. more than 18000 people did that there is a, you know,

a great concern that the numbers to that level, of course. but we are hoping that people concerning news, tanya. good suzanne, a stumble based canadian journalist and i had of interviews at t r t world. thank you. can an act bad rom, director of the center for energy, the environment and natural disasters at the university of bengal says tortilla is in need of international support to deal with the aftermath of the earthquake. some of my friends supports where bad news is some a colleagues, it was some houses off to college, just a collapsed in on takia. and in kara, mom rush, we've been hearing debt to. but anyway, these are not my relative spots. our citizens are in danger. unfortunately, i know, so our citizens, some of our citizens, are on the, the image fielding. so be just cold air force level coley. so that means

a, b are awaiting some other search and rescue teams from all around the world. because the numbers a damaged areas are, the provinces are very high and it's time consuming and it's actually a money consuming less say. but we need to do that. ah, now here some of the latest footage of a building collapsing in the syrian city of aleppo. the syrian health minister report at least 326 people killed and more than 1000 injured in the countries north western regions. in the aftershocks, aleppo, along with cities and comma in la takia, have suffered the most severe damage. more footage from the scene shows people being pulled from the rubble and clearing up the effects of the destruction. rescue

services are on high alert. as many people are believed to still be trapped under the debris. we spoke with an r t arabic correspondent who is near serious border with turkey to get more details and also some more disturbing images from the syrian italy region, as numerous victims of the earthquakes are now being hospitalized in the emergency room of a local hospital. according to media reports, hospitals are currently overcrowded, with some victims, having to wait for treatment on hospital floors. syrian journalist mohammed lee says syrians are particularly sensitive to scenes of devastation after years long deadly civil war. the ministry is done here in syria stated that the army will be involved in all its efforts in the search and rescue operations. all

medical team in cities who are not stuck to close to the northern parts that's through my homes will be sent also to a live coach in helping denise, this is definitely a very difficult situation. doesn't the building has collapsed as a result of this earthquake? i have some friends and many of them had their apartments to perhaps partially damage to her, telling me about the destruction over there. they said that's such a destruction. all we only remind them of the war that happened in theory. yes. 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 health and medical team, they're all on high alert to even private hospitals. doors have been open for all condition, but this is the most that they can do. if this is a government told area that we're not even speaking,

guess about the area like that which is occupied by terrorists groups or from over there. we don't know about the condition over there and because of the occupation of service groups over there, the syrian government and, and medical teams cannot even reach those areas and reach the effect that the people, the residence as a result of the crate. and some news just and the turkish president has announced 912 people are dead and more than 5000 injured after the catastrophe. we'll keep bringing you more updates as we get them on you as action to undermine the see no us efforts to stabilize relations. that's the message from the chinese deputy foreign minister commenting on the attack on a chinese, whether balloon us actions against the chinese balloon has seriously affected and damaged both sides efforts and progress in stabilizing. so i know us relations, china strongly opposes this. a no, just the us to stop harming 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 reserve the right to react further as necessary. the us 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 in u. s. territory last week, hovering for days and raising fears among politicians that it could be spying on nuclear facilities. that despite beijing's numerous warnings that the stray balloon is designed purely for civilian use and had unintentionally crossed u. s. borders, the balloon was eventually shot down on saturday. c g

t n correspondence union 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 a military or physical scratch to people on the ground, but the military shot down anyway. even so, republicans have criticize the president biden as being 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 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 a u. s. a chinese balloon when of course, and drifted across the u. s. in circumstances that were out of the chinese government's control. but closely related to taiwan 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 u. s. military flies, hundreds by planes of the region for recognizance and us naval ships have frequently flex their muscles year chinese waters including the taiwan straits, 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 d, u. s. has experience far worse situations in recent decades, and here they are. so we will have to wait and we didn't see the western states are attempting to suppress any alternative voices of sovereign states. that's according to russia's top diplomat survey live rob, who gave a press conference while visiting baghdad,

as part of his middle east and africa. tor dustin villa. this is young. this stuff isn't comparable to any of the conflicts are on the walt toward the yes and then nate, a colleagues did to iraq, and later libya were a member how they raised mas sue, and all the rock as it is to the ground. how they devastated he ran rocca, i'm not said in mention all the war crimes that didn't cause and if in the resentment in western financial community, americans and there wasn't counterparts, i tried to fulfill, thou will suppress. and now turn to forces from all the sites and their sovereignty . this is the essence of the so called truce, which washington and best satellites promote, instead of sticking to the principal, sylvia yan shot us no boys throw, murmured bilateral economic cooperation with the top of the agenda at a meeting of the russian and her rocky delegations among other issues, discuss that the talks was cooperation of arab states with her on an efforts to resolve the israeli palestinian conflict at the press conference or russian foreign

could to put you in it is ah, when i was a child, it was late so hard in our living in a great records. i was being re, i was a single mom. the 1st when my family i have 2 brothers and one sister. she bushes mother, she goes. but then i would like dropping off of school from one because we don't have like enough money to take me to school minnesota right now in getting now just industry to not being on the street so many friends that they have like almost like 70 percent of them almost, i mean, you know, in danbury for quite a long period of time, they're trying to find me. so that's what, you know, go to me out of that situation. and so from down from that's when i started doing freshman for down to the work that led me into doing for sure, because i was making it is and you know,

we in budapest, he's a podcast with a gaggle which can be found on youtube and locals. and here in moscow, we have to meet bob and she is a political analyst and editor at you know me, internet media project or gentleman cross talk rules, and fact that means you can jump any time you want. and i always appreciated probably start out in budapest, george you. this reporting, i know you're aware of it. here has been a lot of commentary on all sides involved with the exception of ukraine, which we'll talk about have denied this, which give some credence to me that some someone in the by the end administration is um, i'm applying some kind of trial balloon, not the chinese weather balloon, but a trial balloon, your thoughts as it doesn't mean anything? well, unfortunately, i don't think it does. i dentist think that the biden administration is just set on the par and, and there's nothing that's really stopping it because the american foreign policy

stablish man is set on the spot. so if we look at the latest issue of foreign affairs magazine published by the council of foreign relations a, the big in house, mag of the foreign bond establishment. there's an article by michael mcfall form. a u. s. a massive russia calling for total victory of russia. there's an article by garrick us bar i was, is that a victory to the day on conditional surrender? boots in an article by alexander denman saying the same thing. so they all bang using drug and we had bars johnson in washington this week. again, let's say we need to go victory. what about the process of nuclear war? 2 against bluffing, and then you know, and that's, and they are, they will just repeating is so unfortunate for the united states this wrong as, as seen at the moment is a godson basically europe as being eliminated as any kind of a force in the.
