this used to be a really densely populated part of antakya. it's a historic city.re is nothing left. and people who survived that earthquake and who are now living in tents and containers and have done so throughout this particularly cold turkish winter, are now frustrated and angry that many of them still don't have any prospect of new homes to move into any time soon. president erdogan, on the election trail last year promised more than 300,000 homes would be built in the first year. and in the event, less than a quarter of that has actually been delivered. and across this part of southern turkey and northern syria as well, it has been a 12 months that has been difficult and dangerous in terms of living conditions. and throughout there have been stories of people who've really had to to pick themselves up from the worst kind of adversity. iam i am keeping an eye on that news conference with antony blinken, we are still trying to establish sound. but we can see the podium that news conferences getting under way. the fifth visit the american secretary of state to t

earlier i spoke to victoria craig who's in antakya — the region hit by that devastating earthquake almost things people i've been speaking to today are quite upset about because the president last year following the earthquake said he would rebuild the entire southern part of turkey, devastated by the earthquakes, within one year, but if you look behind me you can see in this city, antakya, which is in the wider hatay province, the most hurt of the turkish provinces, there is a long way to go, it has been a year—long clean up effort, let alone reconstruction, and there is finally a bit of building going on but for the most part it has been rubble clearing for the last 12 months. so people here are very eager to see a return to normality. but certainly, hundreds of thousands of people still living in temporary tents and containers, even 12 months on. so rebuilding is still a massive challenge yet to come. and all of this rebuilding needing to happen in a year when it has been pretty difficult economically — we know inflation has been sky—high and the central bank governor, the new one, has

but the anger and frustration are still very evident and here in antakya, the city of antakya, one ofmorning, there was a vigil, protest and people came out and they made that anger clear. a lot of the frustration of the moment is about how slow the rebuilding process is. we were saying, while they still clear all of this way, they haven't actually built as many new homes as were promised. in that election campaign they said more than 300,000 would be built in the first year. actually, the reality is less than a quarter of that has been built. you have people living in tents still come in containers. the weather here at the moment is reasonably warm, it is quite clear but this morning there was freezing fog, it was pouring down with rain yesterday and if you think of people with their families living in these tents in the cold and the mud without proper facilities, without solid roofs over their heads and for many of them, no indication as to when they will get that, that is why there is still so much frustration here across this part of southern turkey. in much frustration here acros

people gathered in what remains of the city of antakya early this morning to mark the moment the firstyear ago, and joins us from there now. even after 12 months of intensive work here, huge swathes of southern turkey still look like this. you can see the damage in many places, the rubble untouched from how it was in the early hours of february the 6th a year ago. that is why, as you say, huge frustration and anger from people who survived the quake that they still don't have proper homes to live in. i havejust been they still don't have proper homes to live in. i have just been at another protest where people are passionate about the fact they are living in tents and containers and they have no hope of any time soon of getting replaced newly built homes. they are part of many people across this part of southern turkey whose lives were changed forever a year ago. mohammed lost everything on the night of the earthquake. his parents, his home and his right arm and leg. a year later, he's active and full of energy. luckily, he's too young to remember much of the ordeal he went through. mo

ways it is extraordinary, when you look at scenes like this replicated notjust around this city of antakyacale of this earthquake, which affected millions of people in southern turkey and northern syria. it killed more than 56,000 and left hundreds of thousands injured and displaced. and even now it it is still hard to find the words to really give that the scale and the context to understand it, but sometimes i think it is good to go from the big numbers down to the very smallest and remember that each one of those people had a life, family, and sometimes when you really focus in on the small things and those small stories of tragedy it gives you an insight into the bigger picture. so this is just one story of one young boy and how his life was changed one year ago. mohammed lost everything on the night of the earthquake. his parents, his home and his right arm and leg. a year later, he is active and full of energy. luckily he is too young to remember much of the ordeal that he went through. mohammed was the much loved first and only child of his mother, a pharmacist, and his father, an e
