The. Risk used search for survivors in the rubble of buildings in his mia to the biggest city. A friday afternoon magnitude 7 earthquake was off the turkish coast. I have a shop on the back side i was talking with someone i felt that while we were outside the ground started to shake while i was watching. Are building a hole this one collapse isnt is misleading at least 20 buildings collapsed injuring dozens. Or hundreds of. This man says god you are the greatest please protect us it still continues. And the chintzy responders are travelling to support risk you with it all residents are asked not to jam phone lines or transport links unnecessarily. I thought that the ground to chatter to you cannot think or you try to do is get out everywhere was collapsing luckily our building was intact we were really panicked and managed to get out at the last minute the quake caused damage in many provinces in wiston turkey and triggered a sea suge the flooded streets near the city of his man. Some damage was also reported to buildings and roads on the greek island of sawmills hospital direct to the scene some people with light injuries had been treated the trim that was also felt in istanbul you know we we are hoping that the numbers will not be escalating and we hope to hear the news about more people being rescued but the fact that some 20 buildings have collapsed is. A big news and im afraid the number of casualties may rise. Crisscrossed by major fault lines turkey is one of the worlds most earthquake prone countries at least 700000 people were killed in 1909 when a large quake struck the city of izmit southeast of the stamboul and around 500 people died in an earthquake which struck the eastern city then 9 years ago but they said craig about 6000 people live in the area of severe shaking 71000 in the area a very strong shaking of 3200000 in the area of strong shaking rich implies that in fact the number of casualties is likely to rise possibly substantially but one thing is that since 999 has evolved a pretty good network of search and rescue units now residents in tokyo and on nearby greek islands have been warned of aftershocks and through the damage they might bring shallop ballasts 0 moderate us ago is a senior earthquake seismologist at the British Geological survey she joins us now live via skype from athens greece could sadly with a sense you feel this the earthquake there in athens. Yes i did we are quite. Clear the will be act as that it was it is an instance are what many people actually nonfans went outside of there be rings at the moment. It was a strong earthquake a magnitude 7 what was it about this trauma that was able to collapse buildings in the way that it did and its been. Well lets recap how bad happened today so we had the magnitude 7 are right. For think you know theres shore do the i dont go somewhere else in greece. We know that the can also. Which corresponds to the sun siding on out so. Absolutely had the extensive damage the day it also seems that there will is more extensive damage of the mom and in the church piece called. Why dont we understand this moment of the ark or a strong. Damages are out so really the breathing standards have no its an extra ok as a seismologist how how long would you expect off to shocks to continue after a quake of this magnitude before surely as the 6 we continue for the months to come especially for the 1st few days. Quite often this shaking experienced by events suck the salt and even exceed in them days there remain so so people that their e. R. Narry want to know where that summer. And the term peace coast has been known to be an arctic region from the start i found as as we were hearing in the report just a few moments ago the region sits upon a number of fault lines is was there anything in your work to suggest that a quake may have been added i know its impossible to say that to predict earthquakes or say that theyre evident but was there anything to suggest that activity along those fault lines was was increasing. No we are very far at the moment from earthquake relief in. That we can mold the what we could estimate if you wish use the office of distribution time and space so for this we. Have informed that. If you say the future but at the moment i have to. Be you know we are certain that earthquake prediction these many out of of course there was nothing i not only in some ways but globally there is nothing that will let us know before hand but the bigger it would be but having ever having had such a such a big quake youd feel pretty certain that theyll be more seismic activity in the near future so we know from what you experience. In size more lives that theyre out there in maine so there are plenty of box of sorts thats fallen on and theyre orange not if you want the fault of all you use expanding in space these are also. The earth redistributes and finally new battens so in finding peace in your balance many times at neighboring faults common could be a and as we say theyre acting they. Cannot exclude that possibility but for sure it is something that he has to be seen longer than next few days really got to talk to many thanks indeed for explaining that for a small. Athens. Is the u. N. Coordinates i could search and rescue explain the challenges facing the current rescue operation in israel. We have several regional teams in the region that went in started to their watering areas assessment and then out of 28. 00 of our teams across the country none of them were activated to deploy in a region for initial assessments. It looks like currently that the collapses are sporadic and in particular this disk in the city only so its in bor noble and directly but the rest of the city currently does not seem to have any mass collapses and so it looks like the local response will be sufficient for the time being there could be survivors up on. Stuff more toward the surface of the class structure so they can be helped out by their neighbors usually in in situations or structural collapse the 1st 72 hours the neighbors in the neighboring and people in the area help there theyre the ones out of the rubble but other than that for people who are lower down and at the end the structures then. Canines are the number one go to tactic here because canines can be very effective in locating. The senses and smells of people trapped in the rubble we also have a sensitive audio and visual equipment we can magnify the sounds coming out of the rubble for up to about a 1000000 times.

There hasnt been any official announcement coming out of here about show whether the syrian army is actually heading towards that area i was speaking to with a Top Commander of the army earlier today and he wouldnt confirm any of the news coming out of armenia he didnt deny it either but then he said at the end of the day its no secret we have said that we want to take back all our. Territories so that means the 7 disparate surrounding theyre going to care about and eventually Nagorno Karabakh itself and if you look at whats happening the reality on the ground a few days ago as ever gen announced that it wasnt coup but is now is basically south of the light chain corridor which is key for me. Because thats with resupplies nagornokarabakh as ever gen army has been making advances at a formidable pace over the past few weeks is now trying to i think this is really it has to calculate very well what its going to do next because basically once they get the election corridor and shusha. Armenia will be in a very tough position anything north of that its. Also considers occupied territories is a very amount in this area is not very theres not many people there. Would be very difficult according to there were just to put up a fight there. Lets hear now from rich allen susan armenias capital yet over. Well certainly these are difficult difficult days for. Nobody here would have thoughts just a month ago that within a few weeks as a by johnny forces would have been knocking on the door of shushi itself its a big blow i think for the armenians what are they saying at the moment though. This 1st attack by the Azerbaijani Forces has been pushed back. They are saying as well that this is going to be a very difficult place for the Azerbaijani Forces to take its essentially a kind of mountain citadel its its its on a rocky outcrop and getting up those steep sides to the city itself is going to be very very difficult the army saying that yes things have been bad before in the 1990s was. Things were looking very grim there for their forces but they managed to turn it around and eventually prevail they are hoping that in. President of us about johns promise to his people that he will take back the entire city of new going to karabakh and the surrounding areas john that hes essentially over promised and this is leading him to rush a military assault leaving azerbaijani troops overstretched and overexposed and therefore vulnerable to counter attacks but they know they are my armenians that they have lost significant territory in recent days and weeks well this is the most violent share up of the region in the region since the 2 former soviet republics went to war between 1988 in 1904 so what does each side have at its disposal well the as any army is bigger than me is as my john has 66000 active troops when armenia has just 45000 as also has the advantage
