well yes, we've seen quite some angry reactions coming from some of the provinces here what people are saying they have received no help at all or how came in too late. they are asking why the military hasn't been mobilized to much earlier. we seen outrage on social media as well with people desperately pleading for help sharing the addresses of people still buried under the rubble hoping somebody would help them. and then many people we talk. so here, of course, asking the question, how did it come to this? how can a building like this just collapse that even the of course, during earthquakes, buildings collapse, but you can see other buildings in the surroundings here have not collapsed although they are heavily damaged. so people are saying they think that building safety rules have not been followed, not been implemented. the government has not been watching this closely enough and all those other buildings here. all right, now on inhabitants. people don't want to stay there because they are at risk of collapsing. so people now staying either intense that have been set up by the local disaster management authority, or they are sleeping in their cause or power shelter with other people. neighbors, friends here in, i don't know, but everybody is very scared because the risk is not over their author short aftershocks, there are tremors. so the situation continues, that situation carries on, there has already been an international response to, with many countries sending teams to help what kind of assistance have they been able to provide? well, 1st of all, the turkish authorities say they have deployed around a 100000 rescue workers. now add to that the international assistance of countries have pledged help. this is coming in. i don't know actually where the infrastructure is still intact, has become a hub from where the rescue and search and aid efforts are being coordinated. now, we've met our search and rescue teams from the u. k. from hungry from mexico, even today, some broad, especially trained dog search and rescue dogs, which are considered to be very critical and finding survivors under the rubble. but of course, the over all task here is just overwhelming and many wonder whether this will be enough. but turkey definitely needs all the help that can get. people need food, they need shelter, they need electricity, gas basically everything because so, so many people have lost absolutely everything. julia han in turkey for a thank you so much for that update. meanwhile, rescue efforts in neighboring syria are being complicated by the effects that countries 12 year long civil war. the affected area in syria is divided between government controlled territory. and a rebel held enclave where millions were already relying on humanitarian aid to mosque, as is demanding that international sanctions be dropped, saying they're hindering relief efforts to w has this exclusive report. i saw b who same can barely take his eyes off the rubble. this mound of concrete was his brother's home. he managed to find him in the aftermath of the earthquake, but couldn't get him out. love you all wheel nogood. my brother and his young son were under the rubble. not sorry ma'am. we couldn't reach them. the only lock up, we didn't know what to do on the we had support yesterday. maybe we could have saved them book on i could see them to saw. the blood was running down my brother's nose losing his son in his arms. we rescued his daughter. i think but after that it was dark. like so many here saw b is left wondering water. jan doris in rebel held north. western syria is one of the washed hick, towns, damage, roads have hampered, rescue, and recovery efforts. making it challenging to bring in heavy machinery. mazata zel embodiment him no, we haven't slept since yesterday that be day. people here working with primitive tools and there is no heavy equipment in bought in. the civil defense teams are working on the many families earned the bubble were doing what we can't restore and we appeal to people in here to help us. okay. i mean that should not be it's adena, locals estimate 60 percent of the tone has been destroyed. the death toll rises every day. attention no turns to helping the homeless. i did not do the thought on a situation is very bad. we need 10 food dot b flat for just a close. look at us, we have no, she was negative thought valley. this unfolding humanitarian catastrophe, complicated, farther by serious 12 year civil war, western countries, reluctant to sent help to the regime in damascus. but serious pariah government says aid delivered over the border, is a violation of its sovereignty. without the control of the government, without permission of the government without approval from the government. this is violation. very simple to the un has called on the international community to politics aside. piece building support is goodwill on all sides. but you know what you're dealing here with a catastrophe or top of a humanitarian crisis said already existed back in syria, she is erupt, it is rescue as managed to pluck a whole family from a collapse building. father, daughter and son. something to lift the spirits in dark days, heidi is that he is a deputy syria director for the humanitarian organization action against hunger. she told me more about the organizations work and how it has changed since the earthquakes. so the earthquake has significantly increased the humanitarian needs and therefore also the scale of the response. so action against hunger and other 8 providers are now directing additional efforts to yes, another emergency for an already vulnerable population. and we're providing emergency support to people now living in collective shelters because there is an increase in displacement as well. among communities. people are afraid to stay or return home in fear of further collapse of building. and many are sleeping in their cars in places of worship. or collective shelters. so our main focus is on providing emergency relief in the form of food, water, basic items for people who are now displayed. so you're looking at 2 crises in one that can organizations like yours even reach the people who need the help? the most right now. yes, so action against hunger and other 8 organizations are we have direct access to the people that we deliver to, including now the survivors of the earthquake. our teens are present on the ground directly to support survivors of the earthquake, including doing our own needs, assessment and direct implementation of like saving activities. he mentioned the immediate need for food and water, but this of course will be felt for a long time. what do you think the biggest challenges will be months ahead? you're, you're totally right. this is the last in a long series of crises and sharks of the syrian people have suffered with most recently a cholera outbreak which also. so the current region in northern syria most heavily hit. and so even before the earthquake, the medium to long term needs were very pressing. and the focus will be on providing unhindered access to humanitarian aid, access to basic needs, which, which people were already suffering financially and like the capacity to access. so that will be the focus of humanitarian aid at this moment. and also because the, the emergency and syria was over the underfunded action against hunger joined the international community. and the goal for increased funding from, from donors, increased commitment to provides unhindered humanitarianism. and we've also heard that the government in damascus has been demanding that international thanks can be dropped, saying that that is getting in the way of delivering aid has that also been your organization's experience? so as an humanitarian organization, we are bound by the principles of humanity, independence, neutrality, and impartial. and so to comment on for a policy is not really our position. but what we can say is that this unhindered humanitarian access that we're talking about includes effective humanitarian exemption. to the section in syria. thank you so much for that important update. really appreciate you taking the time. that is heidi from action against hunger. we can bring you up to speed now with some other stories that are making news around the world. us president joe biden has delivered his annual state of the union address with a message of unity for america at a time of deep divisions in the us. he's calling on republican lawmakers to work with his democratic party in rebuilding the economy and bringing the nation together. you know, the u. s. navy has retrieved some of the wreckage of the chinese spy balloon shot down way fighter jet above the sea, off the state of south carolina. beijing has said it wants it back, but washington plans to have it examined by its secret services. the balloon controversy has soured relations between the 2 countries. well, an address to the u. k. parliament, ukrainian president volunteers. lensky has repeated his appeal for more western weapons. cholenski is making just a 2nd known trip abroad since russia invaded ukraine nearly one year ago. he thanked britain for back in ukraine since day, one of moscow's invasion, and urged western partners to deliver advanced weapons, including fighter, just as keep braces for a potential russian offensive this spring representatives. zelinski said a victory for ukraine would deter future aggressors re no. russia will lose and we really know that we carry the weaker. you will change the walls and these will be a change. did the walk has long needed luna? kingdom is marching with us towards the most. i think the most important victory of our live time. it will be a victory over the weary idea of the war. after we win together, any aggressor doesn't matter. bigger mall will know what awaits him. if he attacks international order, dw correspondent, beg at masses in london, i spoke to her earlier about the landscape historic addressed to you, k lawmakers, a very powerful speech. and president zalinski really managed to strike a balance between on the, on the one hand, defiance and strength, but also humiliate humidity. he spoke about how when he was going to meet prince charles, which was a very humble moment for him. but you also said in ukraine, every air force pilot at the moment it is a king. and he definitely knew how to address british lawmakers who like to feel special. and he said that they were really standing by with ukraine from day one. and he evoked sierra references to history and the defeat of naziism. but he also came with something that he wanted. and you have mentioned that he said that ukraine needs fighter jets. and he said this will be the wings that ukraine needs for its freedom. and for its peace and tell us more about this trip. we know it is only the 2nd confirmed by zalinski outside of ukraine since the war began. how was he welcomed there? he was welcomed very warmly by our prime minister re she's soon act and also by the law makers who gave them standing ovations. they know that presidents events yeah, actually puts themselves into quite a lot of danger by traveling. it is very, it's very risky for him to leave you crane and he's doing it in order to make sure that there is no waning of western support for ukraine. he really needs to keep this coalition alive. this coalition between the western partners where the you k is really one of the most important allies for you, for ukraine, for president lensky. and with that in mind, what else do you think we can expect to see on his visit? or we know that he's going to meet with king charles, but we also know that he's going to visit the troops. ukrainian troops have been trained in the u. k, since 2014 says the british government, they also say that this year they're hoping to train 20000 ukranian soldiers and quite significantly they announce a day that they were also train at jet fighter pilots. say the u. k. hasn't said that they're also going to deliver aircraft to ukraine. bart, they are training the pilots. so this might be quite an, a significant shift in the u. k. 's attitude towards the possible delivery of also of aircraft to the ukraine. thank you so much for that. update that the dw correspondent bargain must in london and for the view from ukraine, i asked the w correspondent, nick connelly and keith about the reaction there to the landscape trip to the u. k . well, definitely a lot cheaper here. thing this is long overdue, especially given the u. k. is roll supply ukraine early on with weapons at a time where lots of other european capitals, the least as seen from keith, were still basically planning for a russian victory and didn't have a lot of faith in ukraine's ability to fight this war. and say this announcement of the training for fight pilots is very, very welcome. yesterday we had the german defense minister, both pastors in town talking about tanks, some of which would only be arriving at the end of $23.00, early $24.00. and people here already basically calculating, factoring all that in their thinking further. so this is a very welcome announcement. it's kind of a breaking of a to bu after other leaders, you know, german shouts, lola shot grosso, u. s. president joe biden. that basic dismissing the idea of says, sending, sending weapons that coins, that it's very, very welcome and something that people i think you were expecting given the kind of strengths those ties. this is a training i fer fighter jets, but zelinski is also been asking for delivery of fighter jets. do you think he's going to get that? i mean, ukraine has already received a major support from the u. k. in the form of about $2500000000.00 in veterans and equipment. well, obviously it is extraordinarily complex in terms of logistics. this is a lot more complex in terms of the kind of technical and supply chain needs than even tanks. and also the question is, even if they are delivered, how vulnerable will they be to rush attacks will russian ballistic missiles, which unlike cruise missiles are very hard to shoot down, will they be on their way within a matter hours to destroy those planes? some people here in ukraine, arguing that ukraine should see if it can use polish air bases to attack russian targets in ukraine. they're fly back to poland. they say russian plains fly out of russia out of bellows, and then get back to safety. we're not allowed to attack them in russian and bellows. we'd be doing the same thing. think there be a lot of worry in poland across nater, if ukraine were to try and do that. but certainly there is a sense this is now being talked of seriously and you know, every time that the naysayer said this was not possible that this was a red line that it wouldn't happen. ukrainians up till now at least have had the last word much get what they wanted. as a voice comes against the backdrop of a fear, new rush, an offensive in a spring. how urgent of an issue is the best for president lansky? this is very, very urgent. there's a real sense of dread here that basically given ukraine success the last couple of months that wester allies have taken a break, all kind of fixing a lot of things and not keeping the tempo up. and that basically it'll take some really painful ukrainian defeats, maybe in bung with other places for the west to kind of wake up and to accelerate those livers certainly are when talk is of months and may be years and has delivering things. people here just think that outside of ukraine, people just don't get the scale of this vote. this conference is being fought over 1000 kilometers and hundreds of thousands people are fighting on both sides of stephanie, a sense of urgency and kind of desperation to try and get that across to ukraine's alice abroad. i think it has always been reporting that our correspondent nick connelly and keith while international investigators have concluded that russian president vladimir putin played an active role in the shooting down of malaysian fight image 17 in 2014. in an update to day, prosecutors said they had, quote, strong indications that putin offered missiles to pro russian rebels. but said they did not have evidence that he ordered the attack on this plane was shot down by a russian anti aircraft missile over eastern ukraine, killing all passengers on board. russia has denied any involvement and now to d. w. jack paris in brussels to tell us more. jack, let's take a closer look at the investigation findings. what do they tell us? well, they tell us essentially that there is a strong indication, was the quote, the vladimir putin was personally aware. i'm responsible and made the decision to send the buck tele miss aisles that went to the people in the next republic, separatists that it inevitably ended up shooting down the m 8. 17 plane that was flying from amsterdam to kuala lumpur. obviously, it sadly never made it there. they said that essentially due to a phone recordings that there are very strong indications that it was vladimir putin himself. that in fact, according to the intercept of phone recordings that actually the delivery of those weapons systems was delayed because vladimir putin was in france with western leaders for a commemoration of the d day of the 2nd world war. and the actually that they delayed the sending of the weapons until after he had returned to moscow. after that night, the investigation here ends that's been suspended after this broad putin enjoys, had of state immunity and therefore they cannot prosecute him as part of this investigation. the joint team has worked for many, many years over this. and as you said, moscow stringently denies any involvement in the shooting down of that plane. that must be a bitter pill to swallow, dash prosecutor saying i put in was directly involved, but this investigation has reached its limit. is it? is it truly that there won't be any repercussions? that is exactly almost the wording of what the dutch prime minister ma rita said. he called this a bitter disappointment for the family of the loved ones who were killed in this, in the shooting down of m 81796 of the 298 people were dutch citizens. he said that the investigations will resume if there are new developments, but at the moment he understood that they needed to stop without any new information or new evidence. he did say that his government will not stop to try and establish justice over this. 3 people were convicted of the crimes of shooting down the plain in abstention. last year. this is kind of the end of the investigation now. and i just briefly before i let you go, what kind of official reaction can we expect to this? well, what's really interesting here is the context of the, the war. now obviously this was 2014 when that was shot down in the annexation of crimea. but notice the full scale of invade evasion of ukraine a year ago. there are no attempts, especially the european union powers, to set up a special tribunal to try for the crime of aggression that would potentially involve the russian president of having to face justice as they see it. that's a long way off. it would require un security council approval. russia is obviously a permanent member of that. but that's what they're trying to do now to, to, to make this to give these tribunals in the hague a little bit more teeth. well, thank you so much for that update. that is jack parrot for us in brussels. and that's news update at this hour coming up next is our business magazine made in germany. they turned for that or check out our website and d, w dot com. thanks for watching ah, with who are these glasses could take the world by storm by making distant communication, feel more natural and giggles. founders are convinced they're developing the technology requires a for a, our glasses to get their break through is the germans start up one step ahead of the i t giant. made in germany next on d, w. ah, every day counts for us and for our planet. global ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make cities greener?
