affected by the earthquakes in turkey and syria. the disaster has killed more than 42000 people . the see all antonia in turkey's hattie province was one of the hardest hit areas known as antioch. in ancient times, the city was a key staging point on the silk road. but the quakes have caused colossal damage to this once vibrant place, or corresponding julia han has more. ah, this is what's left of untouched air. once known for its rich heritage, the city now lies in ruins. unrecognizable unreal. in the old city, several streets are still inaccessible, blocked by buildings flattened by the quakes and cars trapped under the debris. this was the old town of antique. yeah. once popular with tourists, but look at it now. at least harmful fit is gone. centuries of history ravaged in a few minutes. cherished landmarks have been destroyed here, churches and turkeys synagogue. and the hobby be niger mosque. the dome smashed into wood, used to be the prey a hole built in the 7th century. it is considered to be the oldest in turkey with chop fun, so used to live next door. he was trapped under the rubble of his house for more than a day or after the quake struck. he tells me, father to can jumper come on the year after we got out. we saw what had happened and takia de mastered here for more than a 1000 years. and when we saw that acculab, some of we understood how powerful the earthquake was and how deadly shall up his last, many of his relatives, neighbors and friends. play. come on this chicken milan, there's nothing left and, and takia or the muffling date is coming in. yeah, but i wish before the ada logan theater and the heavy machinery, so we could have saved all those lives. we receive food aid or serve them bread mc your domains or people were still under the rubble. and still, the scale of the destruction makes it hard to say how many a dead and buried rescue teams have been searching day and night for signs of life . from the beginning of the quick, the narrow stays was coca totally blocked and it was not easy to find people actually. second days, 2 days on 4 days still there was a lot of a lot of people they were shouting, get us for help. we tried to rest you all of them, but it was impossible. tens of thousands have since fled to city. for those who stayed. the search for survivors has turned into a search for reminders. i doesn't behind a lot of them. are as in beer garden or everybody here had dream is everybody here had a future early be shares and now what's left of it, a dead city of all model. nothing else on a hire by us years of, of our lives on a high up. and we could never imagine this year hire little the good. we're alive. but we're now wandering around in a ghost town. i la cherish and legacy throughout the wreckage that was untouched. yeah, pain is plentiful and no one he knows how long it will take for this city to recover a fresh wave of russian airstrikes as bombarded critical infrastructure in ukraine as the offensive in the east picks up steam. the latest barrage struck multiple targets across ukraine, including the country's largest oil refinery. ukraine says it shot down less than half of the latest barrage. give also says the russia is now using, declined miss alden radar, deflecting balloons in an effort to overwhelm ukraine's air defense systems. the latest assault across ukraine, russia's spring offensive appears to have the gun given the problems of jets and ammunition supplies. we asked because of deputy head of the office of the president of ukraine, whether ukraine is ready the we already moved and ready and i think this revise which is planning now. it unfortunately will take place because they are destined to make this, but it will definitely test and to fail. and it will probably might have been a huge revised, but very important that we should be prepared to counteract. and we had a very good and positive dynamics for the 2nd half of last year. remember, after liberating the normal you granted was hard and the, and the, and the ease and you know that it was part of significant part of south. and could you the city or your school? so we need to get the name of the dynamics. we need to get our territories liberated, but give me a break and all the yes presidential biden has spoken about the chinese balloon saga and the 3 other unknown aerial objects shot down by us fighter jets in recent days. it all started when a gigantic white balloon suspected to be a chinese surveillance device which are down in early february, putting north american security forces on high a less than 3 of a much smaller object. was spotted over canada and the us states of alaska and michigan and shut down as well. biden has been speaking about the flying objects. we know it yet know exactly what these 3 objects were, but nothing, nothing right now. suggest they were related to chinese fire balloon program, or that there were surveillance vehicles from other any other countries. you tell us communities current assessment? is that these 3 objects for most likely balloons tied to private companies, recreation or research institutions studying whether or conducting other scientific research it of course, bonding, shayla nor has been following joe biden speech speech. so finally, a word from the president on those balloons. the 1st one, the united states says that big balloon that could be seen from the ground here in the united states. the u. s. as was a chinese spy balloon. china still protest that the other 3 now heard from the mouth of the president himself, unlikely to be part of any kind of spying program, more likely something malign, something that belongs to a private company or an institution. the real new announcement from the president today is that there's an intention here to speak to the tiniest person she directly about this very issue. but the united states and china would never only speak about one balloon. they have a lot to talk about to responsibly manage that competition. that vive will be, that is official u. s. policy. and that's crumbled visit by the us. secretary of state was canceled when that balloon was detected in the sky. so relations have been in the downward spiral, and this can safely be seen as an officer. talks from the united states remain in the u. s. and nearly 2 weeks after a train carrying toxic chemical derailed in the state of ohio, causing a massive fire state officials are insisting that the air around the village of east palestine is safe. residents don't believe them when this freight train derailed near the village of east palestine, it became clear from resulting flames that dangerous chemicals were on board. and the fire could lead to an explosion. local authority said they weren't aware of high risk chemicals moving through the tracks before the derailment. ohio's governor issued an immediate order. i just need to, we were ordering you to leave. of this is a matter of life and death. hundreds of families evacuated from the community of some 4700 people. we am evacuated pretty quickly. we didn't know what was going on to a hotel in west virginia. he asked of west virginia yesterday. i had to go home to pick up prescriptions. um, the creek by my house had a very, very strong chemical smell to it. i went in my house, it was worse. meanwhile, authorities burned the remaining chemicals to prevent a catastrophic blast. releasing more toxic fumes into the air. officials collected samples to gauge the extent of environmental damage. traces of chemicals found in the near by ohio river, thousands of dead fish found in the vicinity. these samples were analyzed overnight with the full support backing of governor dwan. i am happy to announce that the evacuation order is now limited, but returning residents had their doubts. my son came out, he was like, oh my god, it stinks mom it's, it's not a paint than her, and i'm like, no, it doesn't. i got out of mount and, and it smelled like really, really strong paint than her. and then his eyes turned like blood shot and he started coughing and i was like, ever leaving at the school gym. the local community is concerned. following reports of people suffering from headaches, rashes, and painful coughing, almost 2 weeks on, still waiting for answers. in berlin, the annual international film, 1st of all, known
