of the verdict, i responded to an appeal introduced by civilians who had been detained in 2016 after protesting against a mining pro, checking that providence of the ruling was denounced by peruse, national if human rights coordinator stipend claimed it violated international standards, protected the rights of protest sentence comes intentions over the full dismissal and imprisonment of ben president pedro castillo last year. and the refusal of the congress an interim government of cold new elections. well, a short time ago i spoke with principal alice and i'm on demand is v of us who believes the supreme court decision is simply an attempt to assign them to people. this has effectively made anyone who the sense of the we g, which is it, is what it is, every g and elected by the people of president for anyone who is in any of these states with any of this and any of the state and will allow those the prosecute in this case is the case of a room only highlights the horrible situation that they are living there with their
2:31 pm
current and re g. that is an unelected president imposed by the legislative part of the system that really allows the lead to rule and that there is a president that is not working for them. they can use their lacking in the congress to remove them. it is a patient to just silas defense. it isn't patients of silence any type of protests and should be worried because this is something that can spread to other countries in the region. an economic forum bringing it together, russian and his law, making investors as kicks off and cuts on it's a city in russia which does have a large muslim population. that's got the details. now, we do watch a corresponding shape of or somewhere here because on 4 of the 4 names to generate and perpetuate links between russia on the east make world, given the shape of the changing shape of the global geo political world. it's very important that these particular for and for them to allow people to come together
2:32 pm
to share their intellectual ideas, their business ideas. and there are very, very many decision makers here. the form itself, of course, 1st held in 2009, and it's grown significantly with 15000 people attending the conference from over 85 different states. so it's a fantastic opportunity for decision makers on innovators to come together and work in the context of russia, reaching out and warming relations with it's a is allowed to make friends and associates across the globe. one of the forum guests is an advisor to the ministry of higher education technology, electronics, and science from the indian, the state of thought of print dish. he says, cooperation within the brick sly ends. that's a good example for other states, just as the brakes, it's going now, it's not the only bricks anymore, it's a big plus. and so of course the brake lines is very, very important because now the water is shifting and, but i saw in the brazil,
2:33 pm
china and south africa guys become a bunch of the major countries and that they are strengthening their dice feed gives more of the, uh, ideas and cooperation between how does it guarantees and i think that over together if they go over it, they can make their on specials, on where they will be not dependent on some another. another countries who are the decision makers last uh, one year that range between dresser and india as already costs more than $34000000000.00. and not only with the same days also go over the thing and the working hard to strengthen ties between the other part of the world, especially with these in countries. also, india always have a natural, a lack of all men, you know, a natural way. and they support and they support everyone, they are not against everyone. so this is a kind of strategy. we keep that because uh, overall we are, we, i'll be out of 80 for in the nation. and we would like to go with everyone. we are not a gains and we had a need for companies and,
2:34 pm
and so we make this one of them all, but literally all the court is the russian foreign minister. there are roughly 20 other countries seeking to join the bricks family. essentially, more nations are joining back of the so called the donor as ation coverage. this is audience the, a natural disaster strike without warning. and when they do, the consequences could be disastrous for civilians as well as the local economy if they are not prepared for. earthquakes and particular are extremely disastrous as they can strive without warning. and these earthquakes can be catastrophic events for cities, such as the case with turkey, which experience a significant loss of life and infrastructure damage as the buildings were not
2:35 pm
built to modern code that can withstand seismic activities. i'm christy, i'm, you're watching the cost of everything we're today. we're going to examine the costs of earthquakes and what it would take for an economy to rebuild and recover the on february 6th target experience. earthquakes of $8.07 magnitude followed by more than $7500.00 after shocks and 2 additional earthquakes. this is the largest such disaster to have hit the country and over 80 years, the regions affected have some of the highest poverty rates in turkey, and also host more than one point. 7000000 syrian refugees. the 2 earthquakes and february cost and estimated $34200000000.00 in direct physical damage in turkey, which is the equivalent of 4 percent of the countries 2021 g d p. recovery and
2:36 pm
reconstruction costs will be much larger, potentially twice as large g d p losses associated with economic destructions, such as loss of businesses, productivity tours and etc. well also add to the cost of earthquakes. and the total estimate for the cost of the earthquake has been around $84000000000.00, which is now 10 percent of turkey is g d, p. $70000000.00 is from damages to homes and building $10000000000.00 is from the loss of national income and $3000000000.00 from the loss of working days. value in human life also becomes a tricky situation as it is related to a person's earnings. these are lower and developing countries like turkey, so translating lives into dollars because quite problematic in that context to. however, this does not include human misery, which is the number of people who lost family and has left without power or clean water. however,
2:37 pm
these estimates also don't take into account the multiplier effect that reverberate through the supply chains. for example, turkey is a big supplier of stone, glass and textiles. the earthquake has now disrupted the entire supply chain, affecting many retailers like hugo boss, h and um, and many more of that seaborne training helps remain crippled. the 2nd multiplier pertains to how quickly and efficiently businesses get back on their feet after a disaster. and the time lost before the cities can begin operating again. the 3rd has to do with what happens to the people who live in disaster zones. if they flee or evacuate, the local economy loses its labor base and the demand for goods and services in the area also declines. this is also the case in turkey when people are afraid to return to work in buildings, they believe to be vulnerable to collapse. and estimated 1250000 people have been rendered temporarily homeless due to building collapses. and over 50000 people died
2:38 pm
as a result of the earthquake. and over 500000 people had been evacuated from the disaster area. a 173000 buildings have so far been recorded as collapsed or severely damaged, including some of the newest apartment blocks of this has now led to urgent questions about building safety standards. modern construction techniques should mean that buildings can withstand earthquakes. however, the standards have been poorly enforced in turkey. in turkey, the government has provided periodic construction and the space which are effectively legal exemptions for payment of a fee for structures to be built without the required safety certificates up to $75000.00 buildings across the affected earthquake phones and southern turkey had been given these construction in the space, and even though $84000000000.00 is a heavy estimate,
2:39 pm
many suspect that the governments are under estimating costs in order to avoid further embarrassment when a government or business policy may be at fault for is less construction policies. so now let's bring in the patch category of principal at media motor international . so now what country is the most vulnerable for a big earthquake disaster? it's an interesting question. um, there are, i would say any country which is a mix to a quick 4th or have cannot quit cold. and it's densely populated is more when the country heavy popular countries like india or bangladesh showing a toy key. no us, japan, they are very vulnerable to damage and loss of life. like from a not quick. they might be in a place, we'd have to look somewhere that there's not a lot of people that couldn't cause
2:40 pm
a lot of damage. the civilization and their people got the most damaging. they're expected up. and now this is perhaps one of the biggest natural disasters we've had in the past decade. why are we not hearing more coverage on this? why is this not well publicized here in the states? it's got to be the media. whoever picks up the story, everything historians was sharing the one of the people who share their, their almost 60000 loss of life is to me is a huge number. and just so it doesn't happen to be live in the us. so if it doesn't happen to be in the us, it's not as much of the size in the us and people out of navigate for only so long for a story. and then the media has to move on. perhaps that's the reason it's not the
2:41 pm
. however, the people who are on the ground leaving the day out, they have to live with the consequences. and for them, it's not a shot the media type because it's a long recovery model and be here at the model are actually helping me the recovery process after they've changed it after i piece are doing evaluation of the house is going to scan to ensure that there was how to either the green guy got them there to get a or the a yeah, look at they have my damage and only a few things for you to be done or the address that don't go in the house. so we are doing be successful so people can actually, instead of living in the shelters, can go back into their house. what is the most expensive natural disaster in history? and how does this turkey earthquake compare and rank against it? they are a few. a man comes to the doctor to that is the most expensive one,
2:42 pm
i would say was sure no, but it was in a natural disaster. so if you look income number of people, it was good to come in for me and let me share india. and then if you just want to compare the cost on that for the 2011 japan, wait for the device, you know, and i think the cost is not a fair question to me because each country calculates costs differently for developed countries like yours in japan, the cost of interest up to the higher the deductible to be aust. however, let's say for example, turkey, the estimated cost of the bachelor's, the default value is what is the estimated right now, which is and it,
2:43 pm
it has ended up in $50000.00 last supplies. however, in japan, the cost was $360000000.00 and they've only let about $20000.00 flights last to the, to me cost is it's not a good number to mean the disaster should be actually waiting comes up and pressure turn off and the loss of life and down so that i have to pay the the o j. so now me in the, in the motion. so now me with the bigger disaster than that, the generic 2011. now click and then they all disastrous. but it does have a loss of life that was much bigger power, turkey rebuild itself now when they are already facing surging inflation and as franky economy and a huge mountain of debt. yeah. and the car and the mother to come back, but i wouldn't have a very, you know, they pointed out,
2:44 pm
but to me the international community has to come in and help us to be really into a, a, from the biological and most actual agencies such as soon as school b u, n u. s a try finding all these vacancies, they can come in and provide support to help you out in the country, but maybe they maybe they can have it compared as impressed frontier. send me that impression to in touch location. and that you mentioned in may generate jobs and have the economy. syria was also affected by the earthquake and yet outreach to serial was less than through z aspect because of the western sanctions on the country. what do you make of this? do you think you military in a, during these times of price, it's a trump sanctions or no? definitely. definitely the political
2:45 pm
human life and human life. your life in my life has the same value just because my country have sanctioned on it. that doesn't mean that my life is less 5 or if not, and what city all human be traveling in re, she's extending the code to see and be transferred to the same battery. if you're doing, if you didn't want to take it, we should do the same in one c. and of course i'm talking from a human and engineering perspective about talk to some of your political perspective. but to me, yes, we should support you. yeah. because we care. thank you so much the past couple area, but please stick around. it depends on what we join us right after the break. and when we come back, the cost of natural disasters very considerably depending on where they occur. the economic impact is worse in or countries since the long term effects last longer.
2:47 pm
2:48 pm
considerably depending on where they occur. when a large disaster occurs in a wealthy country, the financial damage may be quite large. however, when a comparable disaster occur in a poor country, the actual financial damage may appear to be relatively small, but the long term effects will be longer lasting. for example, the 2004 indian ocean earthquake and so nami had a death toll of around 230000 people. but the cost of it was reportedly only $15000000000.00. in contrast, the deep water horizon oil spill in which only 11 people died. the damages were 6 full that of india's california also experienced a $7.00 magnitude quick and 19 o 6, causing massive destruction and soon armies costing $500000000.00 in damages. the equivalent of more than $13000000000.00 today is now in japan buildings that were sitting on
2:49 pm
a rubber foundation with stood the great hinge and earthquake which killed more than $6000.00 people. this technique, which is called base isolation, is used and roughly 9000 structures in japan today. thousands of other buildings in the country have been fitted with shock absorbing devices that can greatly reduce and the damages and prevent collapse. 87 percent of all tokyo's buildings have been constructed according to modern and ty, seismic standards, and the japanese governments has spent $1000000000.00 to build as world famous seismic alert system that can detect the peak of a quick, 80 seconds before it arrives. this is a central to give the people the necessary time to take urgent steps, like shutting off gas, stepping away from windows. sheila, china, italy, mexico and peru have all adopted the techniques to varying degrees. conventional abilities use concrete. so when there is an earthquake, the building will split apart and collapse. but with base isolation,
2:50 pm
the building will shake with the ground, so they may sustain some structural damage. but it will not split since the base is still intact. and we'll just weigh based isolators are like shock absorbers between the building and the ground motion, letting the building fly back and forth. and having the vibrations travel up through the building a base isolated building costs about 13 to 15 percent more than a conventional one. other technologies in japan include inflatable airbags that to play underneath the wind and home when a large earthquake is detected. and newer buildings in japan are also generally stronger and stiffer than american ones, with so called resilience movement technology. this is designed for the structure to better withstand, earthquakes in japan and the united states are 2 of the world's most technologically advanced countries who have responded very different ways when it comes to earthquake protection. japan's government mandates that have built
2:51 pm
stronger structures capable of withstanding earthquakes and being used immediately afterwards. this is also due to the much denser population. but the us, on the other hand, sets a minimum and less protective standard with the understanding that many buildings will be badly damaged. but that's what insurance is for. this way of building allows builders and contractors to spend less maximizing their profit margin on the ability, which is very in line with the us as capitalistic culture. the american approach has the risk calculation and assumption that a building will be used for 50 years before being torn down and replaced. in a severe earthquake, most american buildings are designed to crumble like a car and a head on collision, dissipating the energy of the earthquake through damage with the goal of preserving lives. there is an estimate at a $175.00 base isolated buildings in the us, mainly museums, hospitals, and order buildings in san francisco and los angeles,
2:52 pm
notably, apples, new headquarters and silicon valley has a sliding mechanism in the ground for earthquake protection. nearly $700.00 support con, sit on top of steel, pucks that sit on top of a massive steel saucer. when an earthquake hits the puck slide across the saucers as much as 4 feet, the net effect is that the ground jolts, but the building moves significantly less. and far more, let's bring in again, the patch cut the area principle menu motto: international. now depends if the same earthquake that hit turkey hit japan or california, how much damage would you anticipate? would there be the same number of lives lost? the reason being that the buildings in california and the buildings in japan are
2:53 pm
designed and built to understand the buildings that existed in turnkey. at the back the hold on and you were from japan had been constantly be updated. the knowledge of the buildings are built to better stand there. stand out that every 2 years we have a new cold came in california and as an improvement in the cold, every 3 years to the buildings are getting better standard. i don't believe the building continue to be the same standards of the day. again, that's a key and let's say for example, um in the people infrastructure that lead to so if we had better building our building to benefit and much better redesign building to like 5050 means you'll be able to leave the building if the quick like this and hopefully they won't come out that the cold our, for our, if it's got a 100 percent guaranteed. but most of the building for the right people are going
2:54 pm
to get out. some of them are gonna collapse specially believe that will build in the 19 seventy's or the stream exist. and if they haven't been fixed they, they may come back. and there may be some loss of life over there. but generally, the question will be very less loss of life. they might be monitoring damage being more monitor damaged with the light. so like most likely and how much will it cost turkey to now rebuild at city? would they have been better off investing and earthquake proof technology in the 1st place? easy, yes, easy. and there should have been investigating the they have actually maybe improved the course in 2000. but their construction practice is need to be improved. so they should be part of the quality control in the field for building new buildings, making it really properly their,
2:55 pm
their piece of work together being the better way is the best way to, to district way. and they should be standards implemented for construction down their buildings have done that will build before 2000. what do we do? we go in there to have to click on the class. however, the building that exist, this should be political, real goal. and in fact, for, for it goes to save lives and i go to the phone number and what the cost would be the from what i understand the disasters about it is estimated about 84000000000 at this time. the cost is going to be about the same, about $60000000000.00, it's going to be fine pressures and reconstruction and about and the rest of the money. we just lost people out of work and such. do you think earthquake safety standards should be federally mandated to save lives?
2:56 pm
or do you think this is a decision for the builder and for the bottom profit line really should be the federal government be bordered by the people and the people to decide if they want to live all the work you must see from building or not. the people then got it because if it's not the people, then you have the co mentor can only push the engine, got so much color with people like you and we have towards the government and so they can mac and mentally existing conditions. no, we should be equally with the. ready things you need data on the links for
2:57 pm
a long time. they buy that the a 2 to 5 to 10 years, so they don't have it on the call and change that the old building and they do the mccloud. i'm the builder is required on the building for a long time, and during that time whatever happens if it's a problem, then i will not be a good kid. is a combination of both the tracking and banding and then it has to be a combination of work. thank you. so last a pass cut the area for joining us today. after the devastating 2010 haiti earthquake relief workers and international a port in to help the country. but that actually became a huge problem when there was a lack of coordination among the 8 organizations. many of the workers were inexperienced and there were no rules and coordination between all the parties. and that made it extremely difficult. while there are no real winners when a natural disaster strikes,
2:58 pm
at least we're all much better prepared this time around to provide aid. over $102.00 countries had offered assistance with at least $74.00 international rescue teams deployed. turkey has also cultivated a reputation and be a global leader and humanitarian aid. so this time around, it enabled greater control over where deliveries go. well, fostering direct engagement with local and national authorities, and hopefully going forwards the community will learn their license and invest upfront and better construction standards that will not only save lives, but also costs less and the long run when the most unexpected happens. i'm christy, i thanks for watching and we'll see you right back here next time on the cost of everything. the memory loss isn't usual forgetfulness
2:59 pm
3:00 pm
have to shape house and engagement because the trail when so many find themselves will support, we choose to look so common ground, the the, we have literally had a good scene that out of the support at the ocean for the russian has given us, we now stand out as an island of stability and peace. that was of praise from uganda. as a high level delegation is on the russian capital, not for the 6 nation group from africa works on a possible peace plan for the ukraine conflict. the national security minister around i think that
