7:04 am
who took director general of international affairs and migration at red crescent. and he says that emergency services and volunteers on highlights but weather conditions in some regions are making the situation worse. that's mostly the. busy better condition, it's not only called or. busy solving in some of the problems, it's raining in front of them. it's not. and so it's all going to be the most challenging part of the next year from now is the better way to get deployed? probably be heavily impacted to be able to support both of you providing food and also emergency blanket permission for example, some hospitals for disney impacted. so we added missing up whole 10 outside the hospital for for 3 hours. so hospital are now being dumpling outside the
7:05 am
home and outside because the main hospital is impacted. so we are deploying public will be possible. on verified video, circulating online shows considerable destruction inside the student dormitory, in the hotel province, where some people remain trapped according to reports. under the video circulating on line shows rescue workers providing 1st aid to a young man who was pulled from the rubble in the south eastern province of diaz. but cool. at least 8 people were reportedly killed the when a story building collapsed. we spoke with a new stumble based canadian journalist on head of interviews, etc, etc. world who spoke of local residence, 1st of a possible increase in casualties. everybody living here knows that the, the risk of an earthquake, it's pretty high. and in fact we all live in fear of that. of the big one that
7:06 am
we're told will one day it is some school. everybody knows somebody who's been affected. if not somebody directly, then come eat a friend who have family and guys young tape or nearby. some have been fortunate and they weren't affected, but most of them who lived there found the quake. so i have colleagues who are finding it very, very difficult to deal with the hiring me to set this thing in the media. i saw one colleague burst into tears earlier, just looking at the case. everyone is afraid of the penalty. the wounded. absolutely. that can go up, they can because the rescue operation is still under way. there are countless people still stuck in the ruffle 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 eating more than 18000 people. that there is a, you know,
7:07 am
a great concern that the numbers mount to that level of course. but we are hoping that ah, is some of the exist footage of a building collapsing in the syrian city of a leper. the syrian health ministry reports at least 371 people were killed and more than a 1000 injured in the countries north western regions in the aftershocks, aleppo, along with the cities or a farmer and la takia have suffered the most severe damage. one boy has been found alive and he is recovered from the rubble of a collapsed building. this footage shows the moment the rescue workers pulled him out. emergency services are cornell highlights, as many people may still be trapped in the rubble. and also some disturbing images from serious it lip region as numerous victims of the earthquake are now been hospitalized in the local hospitals. according to media reports,
7:08 am
hospitals are currently over crowded with many victims, waiting for treatments on hospital flaws. syrian journalists, mohammed ali, the syrians are particularly sensitive to scenes of devastation after a year long, deadly civil war. we go live now to independent journalists, vanessa bailey, who is now in the syrian city of damascus. vanessa good afternoon, sir. thanks for finding the time to speak with us today. can you tell us what the situation is like there now? i'm in damascus. it's pretty calm. i mean, no, we were a fact said or, or when the big quake sort of hit cities of a lap, owen, hama, la takia coastal region. and there is been some material damage or in damascus. but the bulk of the devastation um is in the north and north west. of course, jordan and lebanon also felt the earthquake,
7:09 am
those various images coming from lebanon, in particular, from surveillance cameras showing the the duration of the crate, which, which seemed to go on forever. and, and that is something that friends all around syria telling me that despite having survived 11 years of a military warri cannot make war, political war and media war, this was the most terrifying night of their life for many of them. and that says something. so you're very traumatic indeed. now how the syrian emergency services coping with the crisis, the moment i mean they're doing the best they can. but people need to understand, of course, that the emergency services i have been suffering from a lack of supply of equipment. thanks to the western imposed blockade and barbaric sanctions. sorry. or while they are doing their absolute past, you know, they're dealing with really
7:10 am
a disaster that is beyond their capability. and there are still, i don't even want to contemplate, the number of people still buried under the rubble. we know that egypt, iran, russia, have all off the top. and i'm quite sure that the russian military on the ground is doing also what they can. but you know, another thing to understand for people is that many of these buildings, particularly in a leopard during the 10 year war. the taurus had tunneled under these buildings, therefore making the foundations very unsafe anyway. some of them had previously been detonated and so therefore, the underground areas are not secure. and therefore, when you got any earthquake or any of the aftershocks that have been continuing on the new earthquake about an hour around $6.00 and ankara is going to bring down more buildings. it's inevitable because the war has already made
7:11 am
these areas so fragile and this kind of earthquake is, is just horrendous. so i mean you to touch on, on your answer, but to what extent has the sanction and the years of devastating deadly war on the mind. the countries ability to deal with such a catastrophe, a lot of is as far as any country could deal has to be of this scale. well, i mean, you know, it's not only the fact that sanctions have decimated the emergency services. the terrorist war has decimated the number of hospitals that are available to provide treatment. the sanctions have equally decimated those hospitals and rented them in capable of providing certain medical operations. medical assistance. as you know, the united states and the kroger separatists are occupying the north east syrian resources which include oil. so there's no electricity inferior. so even through this disaster, we have no heating, we have no electricity to,
7:12 am
to warm the people that have been made again homeless. there is now a driving rainstorm, high wind. so everything is being complicated by the conditions, by the remnants of the war and most of all by the sanctions. not one western countries so far has stepped up to provide assistance to the government in damascus to actually deal with this emergency where, depending on local initiatives and you know, survey syrian businessmen are of course stepping up. but you know, where is the international, how other than of course, from, from the allies of syria. we did, mentioned that russia, i believe that i've been in an egypt had offered support to syria. and your opinion was sort of aide on assistance. does syria need most now? housing shelter because so many of face people now, as i said, are,
7:13 am
are homeless and in the streets and trying to survive, helping already survive years of a harrowing war and defamation of their own resources and civilian infrastructure. now they are basically homeless, as i said, there are initiatives being set up to provide homes for the civilian, for example, for a year until things can be rebuilt. and i would recommend that all of the humanitarian organizations and they, and they allied countries, russia, iran, you mentioned lebanon, egypt, even turkey. one would hope that any amnesty between the 2 countries can now be, i'm, you know, changed into friendship during this tragedy. and where both countries can offer each other, some support but but shelter, housing won't, and medical care is, is what is desperately needed and obviously help on the ground. there are not enough of what you call them. dickerson bull days is to remove the rubble and
7:14 am
try and, and quickly get people out because the longer we wait, the higher the chance of more fatalities. sadly, of course, yes, you would hold that a charge like this would bring the 2 countries together. journalist, vanessa billy, thank you very much for your time today in your insights in the situation on the ground in survey. thank you. thank you. and as aftershocks felt, i felt as far away as israel videos posted on social media show lumps, shaking inside buildings and local residents running for safety. well, let's cross life now to a spokesperson for united to pot zavalla, emergency service, organization, rock, rafael, posh, rafael, thanks. so much for joining us today. i'm, can you give us a quick update please, on the situation in israel, in the wake of these earthquakes for driving around the angels. morning or early in the morning, most people are sleeping,
7:15 am
but some people walking up by building ranger beds, moving a little bit there weren't any injuries reported. thank god. what we're really here is sending a mission to release to to turkey. currently by organization, united i thought many others and even the government are sending pages and religion . we're gearing up to 10 doctors premiere team members of our synchrotron search and rescue personnel. sturdy to sit in the cert direct you and of course, providing medical aiden and emotional civilization for people our most affected by historically other concerns that there will be more aftershocks that could in the operations or cause for the victims or casualties. though, whenever we are concerned about after talk, there was
7:16 am
a pretty significant one not long ago and on the 4.4 and continuing on, there's more to the doctor at region and in israel. so we've been preparing for in training for the worst case scenario. like this one where major israel 1st, we know the entire region is on line and something which we're very much take into accounts in our own. i know you opperation and i've protocols here in israel as well. seems it's, israelis is better prepared for a disaster like this. does israel as you need any international support or is it gonna be focused on supporting turkey with aid? right now think really no, no injuries reported israel. so we're focusing on on, in turkey county. we've also reached out to syria, to offer assistance, will be taken up on it, but we definitely have made the offer to the most important value that we sure of
7:17 am
course and how soon you expect this a to reach ankara. were hoping to either today or tomorrow. okay. that's where it's extremely quick. i don't know if you had the previous guess though, but she, she mentioned that hopefully i could tell through the escape would help bring countries together. do you think that would be the case here? in the long standing providing a different countries and i think it's always the case when you provided the politics, the people on the ground seeing other people coming from abroad to help in their time of need is something that's very moving and very meaningful for those people. themselves, i myself that on a number of these international missions recently in, in, in ukraine, in florida, where things, different disaster scenarios taking place. and the people are credibly painful,
7:18 am
don't belong to region. so i think the 1st level will be on a national level. it definitely helps, i think, brings people together. uh huh. and i certainly hope that's the case. rafael pos, united, the emergency service organization. thanks for your time today and all the best with your work. and the latest data suggests that 1014 people have so far been killed with over 5000 injured in the deadly earthquake. in turkey. chalmers have been felt in syria, israel and lebanon, and will keep you updated as and where the news comes in. ah, moving on now. russia's foreign minister has held thoughts in baghdad with his iraqi counterpart discussing prospects of regional development on bilateral corporation. the meeting comes amid the 10th time in the middle east, which is seeing a devastating consequences after a $7.00 earthquake in the region is video published by members of the russian

7:27 am
libya now more than 10 years after the death of mo. mark adolphe in a divided libya littered with a patchwork of rebel group vying for power. only one thing is unanimous by international observers. this north african country is a failed state. so just how did a once thriving society go from this to this in just a matter of a decade will discuss with a former us diplomat to africa. all right, let's get into the m, o. me . thousands of armed rebel major cities in ruins. open slave trade happening on the streets. the rule of law no longer exists in this fractured country, destroyed by nato. bombings in 2011 now began as 3 separate colonies,
7:28 am
foreign niga, triple atanya, and phys on under the ottoman empire. but to day, we know it simply as libya, after world war 2, a sort of guardianship was granted to the u. k. and france. soon after the u. n. g, a granted independence and unification of all those 3 regions. but it's independence, however, came at a cost. the agreement that western friendly, keen interest come into power in 1951. now interest allowed the u. s. and u. k. to build military bases in the country and exchange for economic aid. for the americans part, they gave about $100000000.00 us dollars to interest, which was a lot of money at that time. especially for a country that was rather impoverished, but it wouldn't be long before libya discovered it wasn't poor at all. as it turns
7:29 am
out, libya was sitting on one of the richest oil fields in the world, and certainly the biggest reserves in africa. at the time, the year was $959.00. the nasir wells hit liquid black gold back then it was called a mall and delta. but in just 2 short years, libya was an oil exporter. now this after oil exploration had turned out dry since 1915. so let's fast forward 10 years to 969. now there's a saying about jobs and management, right? that when you finally get to go on vacation, that's when anything that can go wrong will go wrong. and that's exactly what happened to king interests of the kingdom of libya. while interest was on holiday and turkey. but some argue he was actually seeking medical treatment. there a young army officer lead a blog with who to talk to posing king interest in 1969. that officer was more mark
