of you claiming territory in exchange for any conflict. the problem, the white house in the ca all have rejected this reporting. all of which makes us think the opposite. some of the by the ministration want to wrap up is needless or an event. ah, the 2nd massive earthquake hits took here and syria and it felt as far away as israel ah, devastating quakes the most powerful the country seen in 84 years leaving over 1000 people death more than 5000 injured deadly after shops also strike north western regions of neighboring syria claiming the lives of over 400 and injuring hundreds more. many more people still remain on the council for

ah, watching r t international, almost been a very busy news day with one story of course, dominating the headlines. i'm peter scott. welcome to the program. now we start off with breaking news a 2nd. at some point 7, magnitude, earthquake has hit central to kia and syria, which um has been felt as far away as israel. the devastating tragedy has taken the lives of over 1500 people. so far into care, a building has collapsed in front of the eyes of emergency crews in the southern city of dia, back here, a similar tragedy occurring in the central city of mulatto, leaving nothing left but dust and debris turkish president. richard, i've heard one says the earthquakes are the most powerful in 84 years of a, 1000 people are dead and the numbers are expected to rise. oh,

a with the city of the on to the nearest city to the quakes epicenter has been badly affected with multi story buildings collapsing on inside neighborhoods now gone to report the city was one of the hardest hits with over 200 lives lost turkish media. have posted these photos from southwestern to kia and ty residential blocks have been destroyed, leaving emergency workers struggling to save. those still trapped under the rubble is what the head of the earthquake risks assessment center intake here at to say this order. you can also go to after we obtained the information and refined it

with data from a large number of stations. the earthquake magnitude was determined. a 7.7 points instead of 7.4. many countries have suffered similar aftershocks, 3 of which were higher than magnitude 6, and the largest of which was $6.00. we're asking people to stay away from buildings because after shocks can still continue for a long time. we ask you not to believe information from dubious sources, because right now the most valuable information is useful in true information for our citizens. so we asked the press not to mislead anyone. ah, 0 shows them old story building collapsing after the earthquake as many as 1700 buildings are said to have been destroyed across the country. hundreds of residential buildings have collapsed with more than 5000 people injured. human impacts of the disaster is being felt across the country. images of local residents, grieving are circulating on social media with people, interests,

trying to support one another, anxious as they waits for news of loved ones. rescue is continued support victims from the rebel. earlier we spoke to alper who took the director general of the international fez migration at the red crescent and he says that weather conditions in some regions are exacerbating the situation. that's mostly the. busy better condition, it's not only cold or rainy. solving infants, some of the problems, it's raining or follow them. it's not so it's all in the mind that you get to get the most challenging part of the next year. for now, the better to get deployed can probably be heavily impacted to be able to support all of you providing food and also emergency blanket permission. for example, some hospitals that reported me impacted. we had a submission drop,

whole 10 outside the hospital for 3 our services. hospital are now being dumpling, outside the home and outside because the main state hospital is impacted. so we are deploying to the public. moving primarily on verified video. circulating online shows the aftermath inside a student's dorm in the hates a province. some say that people are still trucked under the degree india because another video circulating on line shows rescue workers providing 1st aid. so human are just been pulled from the wreckage. at least a death had been reported when an 8 story building collapse. we spoke with a new stumble based canadian journalist. you said that local residents are concerned that the death toll will rise. everybody living here knows that 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, it's not everybody knows somebody's been affected. if not somebody directly, then call friends who have family and guys or, or nearby somebody fortunate and they weren't affected. but most of them who lived there felt the quick. so i have colleagues who, who are finding it very, very difficult to deal with the hiring images that we're seeing in the media. i saw one colleague here earlier, just looking at the pictures. everyone is afraid of the casualty, the wounded. absolutely, they 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 hospital. we don't,

you don't really know why this number can go. remember 1999 magnitude of 7.6 resulted in 18 more than 800 bargain people. that there is a, you know, a great concern that the number to that level of course. but we are hoping that oh, is some of the latest footage from a building collapse in the syrian city of a leper. the nation's health ministry has reported at least a 130 death, nearly 2000 people injured in the countries north western regions, aleppo, along with the cities of hama and the takia of suffered the most severe damage. rush in emergency services are planning to be dispatched to syria in the near future. thus, as president vladimir putin has offered russia's assistance to help the country face the effects of the devastation. one boy has been found alive, recovered from the rubble of a collapsed building. this footage shows the moment that rescue workers pulled him

out. well, i'm well, but now some disturbing images from serious italy region as numerous victims of the earthquake are now been hospitalized in the emergency room. according to me to report hospitals are overcrowded with some people having to wait on the floor. independent journalist, vanessa billy, who's now in the syrian city of damascus, says it's rescue operations are being strained by lack of equipment. 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, those various images coming from lebanon, in particular from surveillance cameras showing 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 for having survived 11 years of a military war, economic war, political war,

media war, this was the most terrifying night of their life for many of them. and that says something, the emergency services i have been suffering from a lack of supply of equipment, thanks to the western imposed blockade and barbaric sanctions. sorry, a while, they are doing their absolute faster. you know, they're dealing with really a disaster that is beyond their capability. we know that egypt, iran, russia, have all offered help 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 lap or 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. it's going to bring down more buildings

inevitable because the war has already made these areas so fragile. and this kind of earthquake is, is just horrendous. and with off the shops felt as far away as israel videos posted on social media show light shaken inside buildings and local residents winning for safety. according to the spokesperson of united hugs, the law and israeli volunteer emergency medical service. the danger has yet to pass us fear of deadly after shots to remain early in the morning. most people are sleeping, but some people walking up by in your bed moving a little bit there weren't any injuries reported. thank god. what we're really here is sending a mission mission to to turkey. so we're focusing on on assisting turkey of the need. we've also reached out to syria, to offer assistance,

will be taken. but we definitely have made the offer to the most important value that we all share. and whenever we are record an aftershock, there was a pretty significant one not long ago leverage on the 4 point or the and continuing on there's more dr. region and in israel, so we've been preparing for training for we get an area like this one where major in israel 1st we know the entire region is on line and something which we're very much take into account and our own your operations and our protocols here in israel as well. according to the latest information, 1121 people have died so far with over 5000 injured in the earthquake in kia. meanwhile, over the inferior, at least 430 people have died nearly 2000 have been injured. germans have been felt as far away as israel and lebanon will keep you up to date. as when the news comes

in. the bushes foreign minister has held thoughts in baghdad with his iraqi counterpart discussing prospects of egypt, development on bilateral corporation. let me think i made a tense time in the middle east, which is seeing the devastating consequences of the crate that we've just been talking about. this video, published by members of the bush and delegation, shows, chandeliers shaking from the tremors in one of the back. that's administrative buildings of the talks. one way western states are attempting to suppress the voices of suffering nations as opposed that narrative, disregarding un shots and norms, without the least is according to a statement by russia's top, diplomats, and that he made that statement as a press conference after the meeting with his iraqi counterparts, both government representatives, dishes prospects of improving dialogue between the countries of the middle east at the top of the agenda was also energy and trade as they consider options to further their partnership in those fields. mccain, colorado dickerson, sony mirrorless lawyer in the circumstances of the illegal restrictions enforced by

fulfill, thou will suppress an al tante forces from all the states and their sovereignty. this is the essence of the so called truce, which washington and bear satellites promote, instead of sticking to the principles of the yan shot us, that we didn't precedent refresher that rock faces from western countries. russia particularly appreciate the decision to refuse joining sanctions against moscow. russian diplomacy also views the current visit as part of the country is long term strategy. in the middle east, the russian form is held a joint media conference with his counterpart. the main focus of circle of sheep is to ensure further corporation between the 2 countries. despite all the political challenges, although the russian foreign ministers visit to baghdad last less than 24 hours, he's probably was extremely busy. so a lot of not only met shoes, iraqi counterpart, but also president for she'd prime minister. so donnie speaker of parliament called lucy and former prime minister molly key, the russian foreign minister visit to baghdad comes amid the grim anniversary of

the us invasion of iraq, which forced more than $9000000.00 people to see the homes and left over 150000 dead one of them, a 17 year old boy who was killed by american troops, his father told us the tragic story. the me. i had 2 sons who's seen and who's, who sam was studying at the institute of railways. he was doing very well. there was among the top 3 of his class, my son promised his friends that he would take them to celebrate his graduation. they went to the beach and sat opposite the presidential palace, eating hamburgers and drinking pepsi when suddenly the shot was fired and hidden. my son came from the presidential palace, which was under control of american forces. ah,

ah, it was clear to the americans watching through binoculars that my son was just eating there. we took him to a medical center immediately. the doctor told me that he would be dead within 5 days, due to a wound to his spinal cord. at the sides where it happened, i asked, why did you shoot him? what is the reason the person working for the americans told me, if you come back again, you'll find yourself dead on the beach. ah. please provide us with the names of the squad which was present in the presidential palace on the date of the incident along with the confirmation that the presidential palace was in control of us forces. and the for mentioned squad belongs to them. we hope for a quick response so that we can take the necessary measures in accordance with the

law. me, with the judicial council responded that it doesn't have jurisdiction over the us groups because the american forces are immune from everything, including legal prosecution. my case has been at the u. s. embassy for 15 years to no avail. the file contains the testimonies of the witnesses with my son and the police report. everything shows that my son was hit by a bullet, which was fired from the location where us forces were located. the incident happened many years ago, but i still live in a delirium. whenever i see a crowd, i rushed there to look for my son. my wife, his mother hasn't taken off her black clothes, always carrying a picture of our son. it's true, one says the americans are the enemies of the people and they divide any country they go, destroying all sanctity and stability under the pretext of democracy and

moving on. now the palestinian health ministry has accused israel of denying cancer patients the right to medical treatment abroad amid it ongoing standoff surgeons from palestine performed to kidney transplant operations in the gaza strip. we spoke to one patients, father, who said that the procedure was long overdue. the subtle, i remember 6 years ago the disease was discovered she was getting treatment and didn't need dialysis. she was taken madison and getting full ops with the doctor hoping for a pre calvary without needing dialysis. after several years, her condition deteriorated from bad to worse and the doctor decided to perform a kidney transplant. for her. we know that we are in garza, there is no possibility to perform a kidney transplant and we must travel outside the gather strip. it was november 2022. we were told that there was

a possibility. a medical team will arrive in december, but they didn't come. so they said it might be delayed until the middle or the end of january 2023. and we have to be patient. at the end of january, the delegation came and we performed the operation in god. this is the 1st time doctors from the palestinian territories have performed a kidney transplant in the gaza strip. a delegation from the international organization of physicians for human rights visited the occupied territory during the weekend to carry out the procedures. so kidney transplants were performed as a hospital in garza, the 2 young women who received kidneys from their relatives. according to the palestinian health ministry, there were over 5000 cancer patients in the palestinian territories by 2021 and 40 percent are deprived of the opportunity to get treatments abroad because of his really restrictions now is really officials have justified the restrictions sentence. hammers uses your military and civilian transportation for terrorist purposes. we spoke with a doctor from a human rights organization,

who described was the difficulties that patients face. we think medicine that they have shortage on their disposals flores. some machines, different machines mean mainly the last edition. we did something unique we, we live in class blessing talking, you know, which is something that is a pretty new. so i'm very happy that you about this actually got a strip is under a seizure or look if i'm not sure about the water to the politically they undersea and they're looking for 15 years. and this has a huge impact. quick thing on his system, sanitation, or most of the things that they actually they get information and then they actually see the people that i'm very if we and that they will. and the

same time i'm, i'm happy to, to give them the things that they, they need, the things that they can get maybe donations and the types of pushes for them. it comes to the administration, we price tool to help them as soon as possible. meanwhile, one patient father says the blockade of the gaza strip as well as financial difficulties that make it nearly impossible for patients to get lifesaving treatment. well, allow them a day. there is a blockade imposed on garzon. we were upset, the operation was supposed to be performed 6 months ago. if we had the capabilities, staff and equipment, we would have performed the operation after 2 month of dialysis. but there are no means because of the blockade on the gaza strip. this is the reason for the delay. the doctors advised us to go outside the guys us trip because they didn't know when the medical delegation will arrive. so i went, i found out that

a referral in jordan would cost me $5000.00 jordanian dinars, which is $7000.00 plus a commendation and travel expenses. min, another 7000 jordanian dinars. i didn't have this amount. i suffered a lot and i tried to borrow the money, but i couldn't do it. i thought about my guilt day and night, and at times i thought i was ready to sell the house. in order to perform the operation. i was ready to do anything for my daughter because i saw her suffering before my eyes. this situation causes a lot of harm. it was a serious crisis. oh, now it was the west, the blot attempts of a peace deal between russia and ukraine. well, those were the words of israel's former prime minister natalie bennett's in an interview. ortiz rena call survey takes a closer look. the former israeli prime minister gave us all the behind the scenes drama to in the 1st couple of weeks of russia,

special military operation in ukraine, or at least from his perspective. so natalie bennett started his tail by reminiscing about the 1st time he met vladimir putin, which was back in october 2021 in rosters resort city of saatchi. that's where the parents are. the straw along the shore, after which bruton invited him into his private home at the estate, and it was all going well until natalie bennet brought up zelinski the belinda bloomed asthma. i say sure. oh was, it ain't ski asked me to ask you if you too could meet sasha putin was a nice man up to that point. but then his gaze turned cold and he said, well then nazis lama there. war mongers. i won't meet him despite this awkward exchange. bennett said that he bonded with putin and they stayed in touch. a few months later, the special military operation began pamela pullets at the war, breaks out. and i'm instantly between the rock in a hard place. on the one hand, the americans are largely in the lead and clearly expect we all ready for ukraine.

and russia to superpower has the s 300 air defenses there. and if they press, the button is ray, the pilots will fall. kai, who will save them, who will rescue the next ranada to the over biden zelinski. no, cor, it'll be my problem. there's only prime minister has the trust of both sides. and that's because he was helping ukraine by delivering humanitarian aid, he gets refusing to supply weapons. then suddenly he gets a call from zalinski, who's panicking. misha, csm zelinski initiated the request to contact putin. valence keep in mind, he thought his days were numbered and he be killed jewish. it wasn't hard to kill him initially, but the russians had demands one was de notification, meaning replacement of the leader. and i assume the world understood that that means killing him. his goal at the time bellis was meeting salts, the new german chancellor in jerusalem, who expressed his fears for germany's and as his sector. and of course, the ramifications of this conflict in general bennett told him that he speaks to

vladimir putin who has expressed to him that a ceasefire can be reached. bennett was adamant that all sides needed to hurry to lay out such a see everything i did was fully coordinated with biden micron, boris johnson shoals and obviously zalinski san. this is where it gets juicy. the 2nd saturday after the special military operation began, israel's prime minister said that he flew to moscow for a top secret meeting with the russian president, where vladimir putin apparently made a concession not to touch zelinski yard. i knew that zalinski was under threat. he was in a secret bunker. i caught him and said, i came out of the meeting with putin. he's not going to kill you madam. he asked, are you sure? sure. i responded. 100 percent. he won't kill you. 2 hours later zalinski went to his office and posted on twitter. i'm not afraid. well, yes, because well, now i will say one thing. yeah, i'm staying here in keith on vancouver street. i'm not hiding. and i am not afraid

of any one. the 2nd concession vladimir putin reportedly made was he cranes this armaments bennett claims boots and was reportedly fine with ukraine having its own army, as long as the country promise not to join nato. zelinski agreed, but wanted security guarantees from his western bodies. q the master negotiator america did in america will give you guarantees. if i said, sure, vladimir, it won't happen. we'll see, you won't get guarantees. why are you negotiating? then i suggested what i called the israeli model, we don't have guarantees. i said what we do have is a strong independent army. the can protect itself and all sides. cancer agreements and benefits flew to germany where he informed shows of the negotiation terms. and then the rest of the western crew. well, and a little bit too. i think that we both briefly, americans and macro, you know, each leader has their way. we can divide the spectrum leaders who's tending more towards now we have to fight putin jakes, olivares johnson. and talk to the aggressive line macaroni shows were more

pragmatic and by them was both. then it's then returns to israel and personally overseas and marathon of negotiation crafts. there's lots of back and forth, and then suddenly it all stops. and i think there was a legitimate decision by the west to keep striking, puting lovely. i mean, the more aggressive approach that proposed cease fire seems to evaporate into thin air with no real explanation beggars mentions that the west has a legitimate reason to keep striking putin as he calls it. but he never reveals what that reason is. and basically says that when push comes to shove, israel lesson still, america will kind of the anything i did was coordinated down to the last detail with the u. s. germany and france. they brought it and i thought they were wrong. so according to israel's former prime minister, he broke the seas for a deal between russia and ukraine. 2 weeks after the conflict started the west back the terms at 1st and then blocked it. not letting me put it, not lighting mirror,

zalinski. no, the west who've been screaming for months about how russia doesn't want peace. when asked to comment on the former israeli pins claims the kremlin spokesperson said that he can neither confirm or deny the statements. he only said that, right? even if it's in and but it had indeed discussed the war ukraine. oh, when i reminder of our breaking news here. not since now. so this our 1498 people have been confirmed dead so far with more than 5000 injured after a cascade of power for earthquakes, inter kia neighbors, syria has also been devastated by the aftershocks with at least 430 people dead. and nearly 2000 confirmed injured tremors have been felt as far away as israel and lebanon. and we'll keep your data to as the news comes in. well, that's all for now. my name is peter scott. do check out our website for all the latest updates on those earthquakes. i'll be back again with more of all the latest news in about half an hour's time. thanks for watching.

ah ah . at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free its people, and to defend the world from great who's

with we will bring to the iraqi people, food and medicine in supplies. and freedom with ah ah.
