They both may have made it out alive, but their mom, dad, brothers and sisters, all died. The UN launched an appeal for $397 million to help the almost 5 billion survivors in the rebel held area who have gotten very little help so far up to 41,000 now, the death toll of those who passed in the desire. Now we turn to the war in Ukraine this morning in Ukrainian officials are still lobbying Western countries for modern fighters and fighter jets, but they're not making much progress we're told. To that end, the Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said this week after a NATO meeting in Brussels, this year is not about one single capability referring to the warplanes themselves.

But today there is a ray of hope. The biggest news from Ukraine is that fourth day in a row since Saturday basically we do not have the electricity shortage. The opinion crab chuck, a member of Ukraine's parliament says, this is a testament to their resilience. We have all of the nuclear power plants, the repaired and they are all working. For the first time during this difficult winter, Ukrainians have no power blackouts, but that could change at any moment, because Russia launches the tax on the critical infrastructure almost every two weeks. That's expected to increase in coming weeks. With the very latest of the war Wednesday morning between Russia and Ukraine, that's WTO national security correspondent JJ green. Worries are melting along the Atlantic coast this morning is more dead whales wash ashore. CBS correspondent Allison keyes has that. Right whales are a critically endangered species, but one was found dead Monday in Virginia Beach. This man says it's a big mystery. It's terrible for the sea life. Some mayors of cities in New Jersey think so too, and have paused preconstruction for offshore wind farms amid worries from conservationists that decide testing may be hurting marine life, but the government and the nonprofit marine mammal stranding center don't think the survey work is to blame. Another humpback whale was found floating off the New Jersey Shore on Monday. Allison keyes, CBS News

"From ABC News on chuck sievertson. Driving's gotten cheaper in the past weeks as ABC's Andy field in Washington for the second week, gas prices have dropped about ten cents a gallon since the end of January, down 5 cents last week nationwide for an average of three 39 a gallon, east coast continues to see lower prices the Midwest and west much higher with the price of the pump in California still over $4 a gallon. Total deaths in the turkey, Syria, quake zone, or over 37,000 and survivors are facing more trouble since ABC's Marcus Moore at the scene. Authorities say at least 6 million people across the region are now homeless or displaced. The death toll topping 37,000. In neighboring Syria, years of crippling war, making it that much harder for aid to reach those in desperate need. In Idlib, parents trying to comfort their children as they search for places to stay. A large number of families sleeping on the ground. Crews are recovering more debris from the three balloon like things shot down off Alaska over Lake Huron and Canada's Yukon, say U.S. Military officials, no word yet what exactly they were, but they say the balloon shot down off the South Carolina coast was definitely a Chinese spy balloon. ABC's Martha rads in Washington. No one has reported weather balloons missing, but there are well over a thousand launched everyday worldwide close to 200 here in the U.S. alone, and they don't have to file a flight plan unless they're near an airport or information is requested, but they do notify before they are launched and then they are on their own. Portions of the Georgia grand jury's final report on the investigation into alleged attempted criminal tampering by former president Trump during the state's 2020 election will be released Thursday by today's ruling from a Fulton county judge. The excerpts are expected to keep the grand jury's final recommendations on charges under wraps. You're listening to ABC News. News radio 1000 FM 97 7, stay connected, stay informed. Good evening, I'm Kim shepherd Rick van seif will be back with us tomorrow, Kathy O'Shea's at the editor's desk and here's what's happening. Having unidentified objects sent into U.S. airspace is simply unacceptable. That's a day from one of Washington's congressional delegates. Northwest news radio's Ryan Harris has more. Most of these uncrewed objects have been flying at altitudes that make them a danger to U.S. air traffic, so democratic congressman Rick Larson says that's reason enough to take them down. The one we know is a Chinese balloon was at 60,000 feet out of the danger zone, so Larson says by allowing it to make its way across the country, we took a valuable opportunity to learn its true purpose. Larson says we need to make sure the message is clear as we take down these other objects where it's safe to do so. We can't tolerate the country sending a surveillance over our airspace, putting our space in danger, but as well, we don't want to send a message to the rest of the world that we're going to be tolerating

"RV insurance. This is about a power on Bloomberg television radio. I'm David west and the world has looked on with horror as the aftermath of those turkey earthquakes and also Syria I should not exclude have really come home to roost. We now turn to somebody who is involved in some of the rescue and recovery efforts. She's avro Benoit. She's U.S. direct executive director of Doctors Without Borders. So I will thank you so much for being back for the last time as Ukraine. Now it's turkey Syria. Give us a sense of what doctors will have borders is doing over there now. Well, the focus for us is really to make sure that we can leverage our emergency response capacity or expertise all the years that we have been developing this logistical capacity not to mention the medical expertise to be able to respond. So we have teams in both countries, but really, for us, the heavy lift is in northwest Syria, where the hospitals are overwhelmed. They are still pulling people out of the rubble, obviously a lot of dead. And so the teams that we already had there roughly 500 staff of Doctors Without Borders who were supporting numerous hospitals really in Idlib and in Aleppo in those regional districts also some mobile clinics and other small areas of support. We immediately redeployed everybody to be able to support the hospitals for the earthquake and try to save as many lives as we can. So breeze up to speed because I've lost track of this now. Is there an effective government in those areas at this point? Is mister Assad still in charge there? Well, this is not a Damascus controlled area. And that is one of the reasons that we have been working since the last 12 years of the war to be able to respond there. So we are able to function there. We have a long-standing experience and as I say, our staff who have been on the ground. Now, tragically, two of our colleagues died in the earthquake. And so in addition to the immense burden and sense of responsibility that we have toward their families, of those individuals, we have many other colleagues there who have lost loved ones whose own homes have been destroyed and who are now trying to do the best they can to alleviate the suffering in their communities. Well, I'm very sorry for your loss in their losses. That's very sad to hear there's so much tragedy over there right now. What do you need most? Is it people? Is it supplies and where are they coming from? Generally speaking, we are using the emergency stocks that we already had on site in our warehouses, which thankfully were not damaged. And so we've been able to distribute enough non food items, so tense, hygiene kits, also medical kits to various hospital structures for the surgeries we've been able to provide some supplies for something like 25,000 people in different areas of Afrin area and we are looking to bring in more supplies into northwest Syria and that is one of the reasons that it's critically important for that access road, the one UN sanctioned or permitted road to be able to bring supplies from turkey into northwest Syria. We are advocating for it to be open and remain open because that'll be key. The local provisions are limited. There's only so much you can buy on the local market. And so it's important for that international aid effort to be able to bring in the supplies that we want. What about U.S. support? What kind of U.S. support are we getting? President Biden went to Madison Wisconsin yesterday. And he actually addressed the issue. This is part of what he had to say. The United States is the leading donor leading donor across all the areas of Syria no matter who controls the territory. It's about saving human life. We remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting the people of turkey and Syria in this time of need. So what are you seeing in terms of the U.S. presence and support over there thus far? Well, as you may know, Doctors Without Borders is independently funded. We don't take government funding from the U.S.. And this is one of the reasons that we are able to work with impartiality. We're not perceived as having any sort of political agenda. And so with the private funding that we already have in hand from our general emergency funds, this is what allows us to function. So I can't really say specifically for the U.S. government response because we really do try to keep that sort of impartiality and independence which allows us to gain the trust in areas that are so politicized. As you can imagine, it is in northwest Syria. Often Americans are pretty generous when these things come up, but I suppose it varies crisis to crisis. What are you seeing so far in response in terms of donations coming in to your organization? It really has been heartening. I think people know that we have the credibility and the experience and the capacity to be quite a strong supporter of the needs of the people in these zones. And so really for us, it's that sustained giving the monthly giving the un earmarked giving that allows us whenever there is an emergency like this to pivot and respond quickly. Although I know that a lot of people are contacting us and saying, we really want to give for this earthquake and maybe specifically for turkey, for example, what we try to convey to them is that if there is another major disaster in a neighboring country, they would also want us to be able to react quickly there. And so that's why it's so important for the action oriented organization that we are that we try to convey that monthly giving is really the best, undesignated, un earmarked, gives us the greatest flexibility to be the most effective. This has been very helpful, really appreciate you taking time

"So he said mental health support is crucial with this disaster and they've deployed also food kitchens to try to serve hot food in those in those areas as well. The one thing that he did caution is that people really have this huge desire to help people all across this country and I will say that that is one thing that I see time and time again in turkey is that it's just this community spirit rallying together, whether it's dealing with the effects of sky high inflation or indeed a natural disaster like the one that we're seeing now. You know, that's great, but he said he encouraged people not to try to drive volunteers to drive to the affected areas to stay to stay away instead because you know it's clogging roadways that are icy and snow covered and ruined from the earthquakes themselves. Those vital roadways he said need to be kept clear for emergency services. Absolutely. Victoria Craig in Ankara. Thank you very much indeed. Let's cross now to Paul Rodgers, who's open democracy's international security adviser. Pull this would be an enormous tragedy wherever it took place in the world. But there are particular complexities here around the border regions. The main problem I think with the border region is actually getting access in the first place. The worst effective areas like Idlib province but also towards the major city of Aleppo to the east. Well, Idlib is under control of rebels, the Aleppo area is just barely recovering from the assault that it had when the government retook it. And the thing is that although people have gone back into many buildings, the buildings themselves are dilapidated and very prone to aircraft to earthquake damage. So overall, you've got the physical problems getting the access in is the real difficulty. The Syrian government currently is intend on quotes being in charge and assisting everything goes through it. The problem is it isn't in control. It is an in charge. But of course, people will say that Syria is doing this basically to make it more difficult for the rebel areas in spite of the terrible problems. They have everything with the earthquake. On top of that, the Syrian economy as a whole is in a very deep problem in many ways, including major problems of malnutrition and lack of food. And the UN basically regarded as one of the lead parts of the world in terms of major aid. Now, if you put that together with the effect of this earthquake, and I was just saying earlier on, this happened at night when people were inside just at a cold wet time of year and it was too earthquakes and Succession. Brought that together and you get some idea of the problem this is being faced. But it does come back also to the politics of this particular region, not in turkey that in northern Syria. And there are many people saying in turkey that it wasn't the earthquake so much as corrupt systems, lack of building regulations accountability and proper planning permissions. Well, I'm sure that is probably correct. I mean, if the Turks are saying that, if people are saying that in turkey, for turkey, then imagine what it is like in Syria. As I say, turkey as a country is relative to well prepared for earthquakes, but protecting buildings is a different matter. And this is a historic problem. If this is one of the worst earthquakes to hit this part of turkey in some generations, then there's always the risk that the regulations have become lax. People have sort of been allowed into a pulse and security and then mad administration and corruption comes in. And you will find that in virtually any country as I say, the basic response may be fast, but this is an overwhelming catastrophe. Far greater than you would normally get. Both earthquakes happen in relatively unpopulated regions. It's when this combination happens that you really have formidable problems. And Paul not only is turkey at the epicenter of this awful geographical problem, but it's also at the epicenter of global politics right now with everything that's going on with Ukraine with Syria with Russia, turkey, absolutely located strategically in the middle of that and with an election coming up. However politics of what's going on in the region going to affect the cleanup from this. I think it's going to be very difficult. Now in turkey, they may get the aids, as you say, there's a very tight period politically is facing an election very soon. There's some question about the exact date, but is certainly very soon. And there are elections for the assembly as well. So that I think will be bound up in this. There may be efforts to give an indication perhaps not accurate that the response is very good. And the reality is a heck of a lot of ordinary people will be trying to help. There will be hope coming in from outside. But the problem is that to actually meet this kind of issue, you require a very high level of organization and preparedness in terms of the building structures. Most earthquake problems can actually be avoided. You find that when earthquake quakes affected the effect areas which have not had modern urban development, but basically have learned to over maybe hundreds or thousands of years how to adapt to the possibility of an earthquake, including the nature of the buildings built on the rest, then they can cope a lot better. And it's also possible not so much for earthquakes, but other disasters to have a country which is very much centrally run, which actually has very high standards of performance as Cooper does in hurricanes. It seems to compare better than almost any other country. But you have this complexity now, which I think is very difficult to counter in a way. But coming back to your original point, it's really in northern Syria that the worst problems would be, and there's going to be a very strong propaganda element from the different sides as to who is responsible. And the end problem is that it's everybody's responsible to an extent. I'm bound to say I think it will be the Assad regime which bears the brunt of the criticism. Paul Rogers, thank you very much indeed. Now, here's Monica's color rubella with the day's other news headlines. Thanks, Georgina.

For Syrians Who Endured a Brutal Civil War, an Earthquake Is a Reminder
"The deadly 7.8 earthquake that struck turkey near the Syrian border has hit hard areas that house millions of war displaced Syrians. In the Syria's Idlib province the last remaining rebel held stronghold, many of the displaced live in dire conditions in makeshift camps in both government and opposition control areas of northern Syria, buildings weakened by years of bombings, were particularly vulnerable to this new shock, cast and Hansen, director for the Middle East at the Norwegian refugee council, said in a statement that the earthquake will worsen the suffering of Syrians already

"Spending hours at a time on TikTok live streams are begging for digital gifts that can be converted into cash. But the reality is that very little of the money raised is actually making it to their families, with TikTok taking a cut of as much as 70%. The BBC's global disinformation reporter Hannah galbert has been investigating this. And it must have been quite distressing. It is quite distressing just to hear a little bit of it. Is that difficult watch, isn't it? It's a difficult watch. It's been difficult to monitor my phone every day for the past 5 months and see these families. I feel like I've got to know them. I see into their homes. I see how they live all from a distance because when we worked with the local reporter on the ground, I wasn't actually there. He went and interviewed the families and spoke to them and heard their stories. So I've only seen their live streams and interacted with them from afar. But it has been. It has been upsetting to see this. And despite TikTok saking such a big cut and the sadness of this story, there is something quite interesting and quite uplifting about how all of these Syrian families have been able to show the lives they live to people around the world. And I can't think of any other platform that has allowed that before. To let people broadcast their lives. Live from camps for displaced people in northern Syria, and people around the world have been joining in and showing support for these families. And I do think that's been very, very uplifting. And to an extent, it has been successful in that it has got them some money which they desperately need. Yes, I mean, it depends how you define success. I would say it's been successful to an extent, but it's not been fair because they're not being paid a fair wage for their work. Now if they were going on TikTok and getting these git and actually getting the money from it from them, then that would be one thing, but that their earning pennies, they're really earning very, very little, and that's because we found that TikTok is just taking so much of it for itself. You tried it out and experiment for yourself, didn't you to see, so to follow the money as it were? How did that go? That was the only way we could find out. Because we got wind from people in the camps that TikTok was taking a huge cap. We asked TikTok about it and they wouldn't tell us. They still weren't tellers. So we set up a TikTok account in Syria and we asked a local journalist to go live from a camp just on the outskirts of Idlib. So he went on a live stream and from London, me and my colleagues from BBC Arabic sent him a $106 worth of TikTok gifts from another account. It was a controlled experiment. There was no one else donating anything on the live stream. And at the end of the experiment, he checked the balance of his account, and it was $33. So TikTok had taken $73 to equate to around 69%. Well, now TikTok say they don't take 70% or they say they take less than 70%, they say that they pay some of that to their partners, et cetera. When we repeated this experiment with other accounts in the UK and Syria, we found that TikTok took a similar amount every time. So you never saw that $73 again. There's no explanation about where that is. Explanation and no transparency. Because in all of TikTok's guidelines and all of its terms conditions, legal, et cetera, we spent a long time looking through paperwork. I'm sure. It didn't disclose it anywhere, which is why we approach them as the press office, and which is why we ended up spending a hundred bucks to try and work this out ourselves. And this huge, huge percentage that's going to TikTok. For whatever overheads it has to cover. It's not just happening to Syrian families. That surely the worst example of this, but it's happening to all TikTok creators who go on live streams and receive gifts. TikTok is taking a very, very high percentage, and it's not telling people what it's taking. What did TikTok tell you? What is its response to this? We've had lots of conversations with them a lot of it's been off the record chats. They gave us a statement saying that they were deeply concerned by the information and allegations that are reporting found and they said they've taken prompt and rigorous action. They said that the type of content that we flag to them is not allowed on their platform and that they are strengthening their global policies around exploitative begging. And so have all of those streams that you saw now been removed. No, I was on ticked up this morning. There are still plenty of families live streaming from the camps. Plenty plenty of families. The only ones that I understand TikTok removed is we flagged several accounts to TikTok because they regularly went live with children with young children for hours at a time, and that's a direct violation of tiktoks, terms and conditions. So we reported 30 accounts that were going live with young children. Two TikTok using an in app reporting system. And it all came all of the accounts came back with the same message. No violation. So when we contacted TikTok's press team and we put this to them, they

"As human shields. Russia, as is traditional denies everything. The tactic of standoff siege we are witnessing in Mario pole and elsewhere notably Ukraine's second city of hakim is probably not Russia's first choice. Russia seems to have bet heavily on the idea of a barely impeded invasion, tanks trembling towards Kyiv through a blizzard of rose petals flung by a grateful liberated people. But it is nevertheless Russia's choice. And if one recalls recent Russian military enterprises, one starts to notice a pattern. In the 1990s, Russia went to war in Chechnya twice in a bid to put down an Islamist separatist movement. In the first Chechen war Russia did capture the Chechen capital of grozny, but at a heavy cost in casualties. During the second Chechen war, Russia bombed what remained of grozny to rubble, or really too small a rubble. In the 2010s Russia intervened in the Civil War in Syria in equally unsubtle fashion. In support of the regime of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, Russian artillery and air power caused devastation in several urban centers, especially Aleppo and Idlib. One of the few aspects of Russia's campaign that seemed discriminate in any respect was a repeated pattern of hitting hospitals, as if regarding the red crosses on their roofs as targets rather than warnings. On one day in May 2019, Russian aircraft.

"The Russian military might be instead. Well, do you think these external forces could change Russia's fortunes? Could they determine the outcome of the war? In short, no. I think that Russia is still going to struggle. I think that they're not going to recruit all that many people in the grand scheme of things, not certainly not enough to be able to totally alter their ability to storm cities. And I think there are substantial downsides to mercenaries as fighting forces as well. A lot of these mercenaries are ex military forces, yes, they have some combat experience. But there are increasing reports that Putin is really scraping the barrel here that they've had to lower the standard of recruit to get enough people for Wagner and for similar organizations. That the hoovering up ex convicts with no training. And violent, untrained rattle isn't going to make for an effective fighting force. The chechens, of course, have a lot of experience, they're probably going to be more cohesive. But if I look at many of these other groups, the Wagner group in Syria, for example, tried to assault a U.S. position and they were bombed into oblivion. The Russians just disclaimed responsibility, and we still don't know how far the Russians will actually claim responsibility for these forces in the field. And then even if they can take these cities, which is not guaranteed, when it comes to occupation, how effective do we think an average fighter from Idlib province or from grozny is going to be in controlling the streets of Quran or kharkiv. I think it's going to lead to some pretty nasty consequences. It's going to provoke a significant backlash from the Ukrainians. To me, the whole.

You have special forces striking and Idlib Syria, a place that's about 300 miles from Jerusalem. So it's a lot closer to Michael Oren's land than to ours, although I think Michael Lawrence and the U.S. today, former ambassador from Israel to the United States, doctor Michael oran, good morning, doctor Aaron. What's this headline mean to you? It's always welcome news with a leader of ISIS or Al-Qaeda or Hamas or Hezbollah gets to pass out of this world. I just was never particularly due to the major threat by Israel. You should know Hugh. The ISIS from our perspective was several thousand men mostly with light arms and machine guns on the backs of trucks. Our biggest threat of his bola was a 150,000 rockets pointed at our city. That's a major threat. But that doesn't mean we're anyway not relieved to see one of the major commanders of ISIS eliminated.
