than 35,000 after two earthquakes devastated the region, and yet miracles bring glimmers of hope one week later. back here at home in kansas city, fireworks and celebrations after the chief s star quarterback patrick mahomes led the team to victory over the philadelphia eagles during sunday night s super bowl thriller. and we begin this hour with the mystery surrounding those objects in the sky. this weekend the u.s. shot down three flying objects over north american air space bringing the total to four in just over a week. on sunday, president biden directed a shootdown of an unidentified object flying over lake huron. the day before a u.s. jet was authorized to shoot down an unidentified obvious flying through canadian air space. on friday the u.s. shot down an object over northern alaska. this all comes after u.s. officials shot down a chinese surveillance balloon off the coast of south carolina last weekend. this morning the white house is denying a new claim from chine
weeks ago seeing the images of this country, turkey that has brought in so many syrians and found their homes there and seeing it destroyed is extremely heart wrenching. the way people can help right now, people need donations. we re supporting with food, water, heat, it s extremely cold in southern turkey and northern syria right now. what i m hearing from my people on the ground is they re suffering without having access to basic necessities. this is also a long-term disaster. people need the support. they need it next week. we need it for the next months and this is not something that s short-term. i urge people to not turn away. i want everybody to understand when you re seeing these kinds of images you re seeing now, this is our team on the ground now delivering this support, this team, they are refugees themselves, and they are survivors of the earthquake themselves working on the ground delivering the aid. so it s extremely important to support. we actually have some of our stud
translator: who is helping us? in turkey they re getting everything. what a great. who is helping us. joining us now is the ceo and founder of the ka ram foundation, which is delivering aid on the ground in syria. thank you so much, elina for being with us this morning. we just heard from that father who says where is the help? what are you seeing there? absolutely. i think for all syrians who have been affected by this earthquake, the double earthquake that actually happened in turkey and syria, this question is on everybody s minds. we re asking where is the help and we ve been syrians have been asking where is the help for now almost 12 years. as a syrian originally from aleppo, i can say that we ve watched syrians face every kind of death over the past 12 years,
so this earthquake has been unimaginable for us to watch people who have suffered so much displacement, so much violence, so much war, and all kinds of unimaginable experiences to have this happen to them now both in syria and in turkey. the situation in turkey is extremely dire as well, as you can sea. the entire city has been leveled and that is the home of hundreds of thousands of syrians who found safety in this place and refuge in this place and built new lives and have also been left with nothing. what we re seeing from families that we support in both syria and in turkey, families are separated, parents without children, children without parents, my friends are looking for their loved ones. everybody has lost somebody. we re witnessing the refugees coming from southern turkey to northern turkey and not having coming with nothing, and so the most vulnerable are also hosting the most vulnerable again. the need is extreme, and it s a
i think in the meantime, it s up to us to help them. 100% agree it is up to ukraine. my worry is that as the world watches and cheers them on, we get to a point where they are losing lives, i mean, i look at syria, tim. hundreds of thousands of syrians, brave syrians, died fighting assad. assad is still president, the world has moved on, and obviously, none of us want that to happen in ukraine. you re right to say it s their decision and they have been inspiring. you and i talked earlier this week on my peacock show about vladimir putin s propaganda that ukraine is not a real country or independent state. isn t it ironic that his invasion has made ukraine as a country more famous and admired the world over than ever before, where civic nationalism in ukraine has gotten a shot in the arm from their heroic defense of their cities and their frankly heroic president, volodymyr zelenskyy. there s deep irony here. mr. putin wants ukraine to be close to russia, but he invaded in 2014, the
