this is bbc news. i'm clive myrie. the headlines... over 2,300 people have been killed by two powerful earthquakes in turkey and syria. the bbc�*s anna foster says rescue teams are having to be very careful moving the rubble. it's really a difficult balancing act between being as careful and painstaking as possible and, as you can see, using the biggest pieces of earth—moving material to try and see if anybody is still alive — notjust under this building, but under hundreds of buildings like it. the first earthquake happened near the border with syria, and was followed by a second powerful tremor. un secretary—general antonio guterres says the situation is "devastating." united nations is mobilising to support the emergency response, and so let's work together in solidarity to assist all those hit by this disaster,

of the year at the music awards. good afternoon. rescue efforts continue after powerful earthquakes struck southern turkey and syria, killing at least 2,300 people. thousands more are injured or missing. the first tremor happened in the early hours of this morning, and had a magnitude of 7.8 — big enough to be felt as far away as cyprus and egypt. the epicentre was near the turkish city of gaziantep, and the tremor was followed by a second, with a magnitude of 7.5. the number of dead is expected to rise as teams reach people trapped under the rubble. turkey has declared a state of emergency and appealed for international help. our correspondent richard galpin has the very latest.
5:03 pm
the huge earthquake of 7.8 magnitude hit provinces in both turkey and syria in the early hours of morning. many were asleep at the time. it brought down hundreds of buildings and forced many to flee for their lives. including these journalists, who had been filming in the area. initial reports indicate at least 500 people have been killed, and many more injured. the depth of this earthquake was shallow, which is what made it so powerful. translation: there are people still trapped under rubble. - i have a friend living in this apartment. his children were rescued from the top floor, but only his daughter broken arm. we will see what happened to those on the ground floor. may god give us a speedy recovery.
5:04 pm
translation: i was sleeping when my wife woke me up. i the quake was very severe, very scary. it took almost two minutes until the shaking stopped. meanwhile, rescue teams and local people continue to search for those who may be trapped inside the stricken buildings. it's not clear at the moment if anyone has been found alive. the international community has already promised to provide aid. across the border, in the opposition—held area of north—west syria, the death toll has risen to more than 200. many families now are under the rubble. our team is trying to save them, trying to save the people, to save all of the people from under the rubble, with all the casualties, but it's very difficult for us, we need help. local hospitals are struggling to cope. the situation is too bad,
5:05 pm
because a lot of people are still under the debris of the buildings. really, we need urgent help for the areas, especially talking about medical help. this has been a devastating earthquake. many people are still desperately trying to pull out those trapped in the rubble. and the danger continues, with more after—shocks forcing people to flee for their lives. richard galpin, bbc news. lina sinjab is our correspondent in beirut. lina, you are actually —— you felt the power— lina, you are actually —— you felt the power of— lina, you are actually —— you felt the power of this _ lina, you are actually —— you felt the power of this quake - lina, you are actually —— you felt the power of this quake when . ? 3:15pm where i felt the whole buildin: ? 3:15pm where i felt the whole building shaking _ ? 3:15pm where i felt the whole building shaking right _ ? 3:15pm where i felt the whole building shaking right and - ? 3:15pm where i felt the whole building shaking right and left, | ? 3:15pm where i felt the whole i building shaking right and left, and some items in my flat felt on the floor. it really felt that the building was going to collapse. luckily this part of the region

5:07 pm
learned the hard way by living it throughout deaf aides —— decades. they have the infrastructure, they have the rescue operations and help systems, and yet they called out for international aid, announcing level four emergency. you can imagine the devastation there. thousands are missing and under the rubble. if you compare this to a country like syria, especially more than western and eastern borders, this is an area that was hit hard over a decade by bombardment by the syrian government and the russian war plans, and infrastructure was destroyed. the only ones operating by sera next
5:08 pm
facts came to help them in the local community, there's also the rescue teams. as much as they have capacity, is far beyond where they can get. they called it a disaster for international help to come in. lina, thank you for that. lina was there talking about the epicentre of ganziantap, on the border in southern turkey and syria. here's an idea of the power of the earthquake in the area. this is a still of the castle in the city of gaziantep — the epicentre — taken before last night's earthquake. and this picture was taken from the same location this morning. you can see the castle has pretty much entirely been destroyed by the impact of the quake.
5:09 pm
a sense ofjust how powerful it was. earlier, united nations secretary—general, antonio guterres, sent his condolences. i want to convey my deep sadness about the devastating earthquakes in turkey and syria. i extend my condolences to the families of the victims. united nations is mobilising to support the emergency response, and so let's work together in solidarity to assist all those hit by this disaster, many of whom were already in dire need of humanitarian aid. during my tenure, as i commissioned for refugees, i went several times to work in that area, and i will never forget the extraordinary demonstration of generosity of the people of the area. it is time for all of us to show
5:10 pm
the same solidarity that i witnessed in the area in relation to refugees fleeing one of the most difficult conflicts of all time. situated on or near several fault lines, turkey is one of the world's most active earthquake zones. the country recorded more than 22,000 last year alone. many are deadly — the worst on record, a 7.6 magnitude quake in 1999, killing more than 17,000 people. here's our science editor, rebecca morelle. the desperate hunt for survivors, after turkey's huge earthquake. at magnitude 7.8, it's one of the biggest to hit the region in more than 80 years. but turkey is all too familiar with these natural disasters. it's one of the world's most seismically active areas. the country sits among
5:11 pm
several tectonic plates, the country sits amidst several tectonic plates, and there are two major fault lines where they meet. the east anatolian fault line is where the quake struck. as the plates grind past each other, tension gradually builds up along the fault line before it's released, resulting in an earthquake. the east anatolian fault line is around 250 miles long, but what's made the quake so deadly is how shallow it is. it happened at a depth ofjust 11 miles. since 1970, this region has seen three earthquakes greater than magnitude six. this is magnitude seven, nearly magnitude eight, this was a big one. this was an earthquake such as we don't get more than about 20 of every year somewhere in the world. so this was big, and it was also quite shallow. if the rupture is closer to the surface, you get greater shaking of the ground surface than an earthquake of the same energy that happens at a greater depth, so it is a particularly nasty one. an earthquake of the same magnitude hit northern turkey in 1939. 30,000 people died. and in 1970, to the west
5:12 pm
of the country, a magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck, killing 1,000 people and leaving many thousands more homeless. and in 1999, an earthquake in the east of turkey caused monumental damage and around 18,000 deaths. it was one of the most destructive earthquakes in the history of the region. in gaziantep, as the rescue operation gets under way, after—shocks are the main concern, making already—damaged buildings more likely to collapse. and a second quake of magnitude 7.5 has struck to the north of the epicentre, making a desperate situation even more challenging. rebecca morelle, bbc news. for more on this, let's speak to professor david alexander from the institute for risk and disaster mangement at ucl. hello to you. thanks for being with us. first of all, a lot of talk about the fact that this quake

hearing —— carrick. some of his victims travel to court and was that about five metres away behind him in the dock, and we heard for the first time the full horrific details of what carrick did over 17 years, committed 85 offences, the majority of them sexual offences. we heard this afternoon from some of his victims who provided the court victims who provided the court victim personal statements. there statements and which they were able to tell the court about the lasting physical impact that carrick�*s crimes had on them. there are 12 victims in this case. just to give you an idea of some of the statements that were read to court. 0ne statements that were read to court. one of the victims, the court heard, said that he was a police officer — what wasn't to trust? another headsetin what wasn't to trust? another headset in her statement that carrick drilled into her that he was
5:20 pm
an officer and she was deterred from raising the alarm. we know that many of the women were fearful of coming forward to the police to report the offences, to report what carrick had done to them, because he used his position as a police officer to intimidate these women. we also heard from the prosecutor in the case, tom little casey, who said to the court that one victim froze when carrick put a black handgun to her head and said, "you are not going before repeating the —— before repeating the raping her. he falsely imprisoned one of the women and under covered and kept her in there. he made her stripped naked every time and he would communicate with her every time, whistling at her like a dog. very difficult horrific details we've heard from the

5:23 pm
nurses on the picket line this morning, outside aintree hospital in liverpool, taking part in what nhs england says is the biggest strike by workers the health service has seen. these nurses say they have been left with no option but to take industrial action. none of us want to put patients at risk, and we wouldn't do that — i wouldn't be stood here now if i thought left a patient at risk. but we need to do something. enough's enough. this dispute started back in december, and unions and government seem as far apart as ever. but the nurses leader says the strike action could end quickly, if ministers were serious about pay talks. 0ur mandate is until may. but, again, i would say rishi sunak, you can call these strikes off at any time. they shouldn't push nurses onto picket lines until may, that's unforgivable, if he does. that's unforgivable if he does. let's resolve this by getting around the table and talking, not keeping nurses outside their hospitals, instead of inside where they want to be, looking after patients. ministers insist that an increased pay offer for health workers is simply not affordable, and the health secretary in england, steve barclay, says patients will be cared for, despite the strikes.
5:24 pm
we are working constructively with trade unions in terms - with the trade unions in terms of what cover they can provide within the context of a strike, | and then putting in place contingency measures. with nhs colleagues i in terms of those areas colleagues in terms of those areas where there's gaps. _ ambulance workers from two unions are also out today, stressing that, while this dispute is primarily about pay, many are also worried about the wider state of the nhs. they've decimated the nhs over the last 13 years and they're just asking for that to start to change and to start to put it back in the state that they picked it up in. this is set to be the biggest day of industrial action in this dispute so far, and, as with previous strike days, the message for the public is simple — please think carefully before, for example, calling an ambulance. but if it is a life—threatening emergency, then the ambulance service and hospitals service and hospitals are open for business. the combination of ambulance staff and nurses in england both being on strike at the same time is an escalation in this dispute. neither side seems prepared to back
5:25 pm
down, and more strikes are planned for later this week. dominic hughes, bbc news. katharine da costa, who's at st mary's hospital in paddington. a few of the nurses there on the picket line behind you, this has been going on for a wee while now. how determined are they to continue this fight? how determined are they to continue this fiuht? ~ , , , ., this fight? well, these nurses have been auoin this fight? well, these nurses have been going all— this fight? well, these nurses have been going all day _ this fight? well, these nurses have been going all day today, - this fight? well, these nurses have been going all day today, and - been going all day today, and they've got plenty of energy. they're not going anywhere. when i spoke to them about how long they are prepared to strike, there's a mandate until may and they say resilience isn't waning. they are appealing directly to the prime minister to get involved in these pay negotiations. there have been improved offers in wales and scotland and strikes while they

5:37 pm
the way to the road. further down they have got diggers, they have got people moving the earth reallyjust trying to uncover what is beneath the earth and there are so many people who live in the streets around who come out and watch the rescue effort who are silently really watching what is going on. they want to help but there is nothing that they can do. this is such a dangerous site but more and more rescuers are arriving all the time. there are people with dogs and specialist machinery to enable them to do that the best they can to go underneath this rubble, this twisted metal where people live, these are homes that have just collapsed into a pile in the middle of the city. anna foster with the latest from the earthquake zone and we are now getting information suggesting that the number of people who have died has now gone up to 2600. for both countries, turkey and syria. we

5:40 pm
actually, let me give you the story from the beginning. i woke up at four o'clock with a very, very strong earthquake in my location. i just went very quickly to my children, i stopped just went very quickly to my children, istopped in just went very quickly to my children, i stopped in front of my sleeping children but i can do nothing. ijust stopped with nothing to do, just waiting to see. my building was going left and right with very strong earthquake. and just, it took, like, about 30 seconds until it stopped. i had a lot of shouting from people. i saw a
5:41 pm
lot of shouting from people. i saw a lot of shouting from people. i saw a lot of rocks just put out from my building and each building. i took my children and my wife out of the building. my 2—storey building. i found thousands of people in the streets, just shouting, asking for everybody, asking for these families and children. many children are lost from theirfamilies. a lot and children. many children are lost from their families. a lot of buildings are totally destroyed. it was they could judgment day. after we left, we were still in the streets, many ways after this earthquake came then we started to find a place, a very safe place to take ourfamilies find a place, a very safe place to take our families but actually the street was the safest place, the most safe place for the families.
5:42 pm
then we couldn't have a lot of information and everybody is asking about their family, and information and everybody is asking about theirfamily, and until the morning went, we went to the villagers. i went to a village where my brother—in—law is living, i found lots of buildings totally destroyed with more than 100 killed in one village which is in aleppo, northern aleppo. until now we have confirmed more than 1000 people killed. this is only in northern syria, more than 3000 injured and more than 350 buildings totally destroyed, 500, more than 500 buildings partially
5:43 pm
destroyed. thousands of buildings affected with this earthquake. actually, this is the strongest earthquake that i have ever seen because, let's say, the strongest earthquake that hit this area in northern syria i think for more than 100 years. it was like a judgment day. 100 years. it was like a judgment da . ., ,. ., , j day. one of the rescue as they're t in: to day. one of the rescue as they're trying to help _ day. one of the rescue as they're trying to help those _ day. one of the rescue as they're trying to help those affected - day. one of the rescue as they're trying to help those affected by i trying to help those affected by this terrible earthquakes. a private underwater search team has joined the effort to find nicola bulley, the 45 year old mother of two who went missing ten days ago, while walking her dog. police believe she fell into the river, at st michael's on wyre, in lancashire. earlier, our correspondent nick garnett told us more. it's 11 days since nicola was last seen and today this private search company has been brought in and they are using sonar equipment which is on board a boat and below a boat which has been going up and down the river and past the bridge.
5:44 pm
on one side of the bridge the water is very narrow and very shallow. 0n the other side of the bridge it's slightly wider and an awful lot deeper so that is the difficulty, they are having to try to map out using the sonar equipment to get an accurate picture of what lies underneath. some of that is rock and rubble and mud and slurry. it's been very difficult for the underwater search teams from lancashire police to get an accurate picture so this company which normally works with police forces in the south has been brought in to try and help and see what they can find. speaking to the chief executive of the company earlier, he said the police and he believes that somehow and for some reason nicola went into the water 11 days ago and has not been seen since. he said if that is the case we are confident we will find her. it's 11 days since she went missing and in those 11 days there have been underwater drones operated
5:45 pm
by lancashire police, there have been helicopters in the air and over the weekend hundreds of volunteers came down and were handed out maps and told to go and search different sections of the river all the way along from here down to where the river becomes an estuary. the search boats by this private company at the moment are further downstream towards the estuary where the river goes out into the sea and they are moving from there all the way back. that might take a day or a couple of days but the company says they will stay here until they have completely completed their searches and we know exactly what happened to nicola. a british woman who says she was in a relationship with the controversial social media influencer, andrew tate, has told the bbc that he encouraged her to work for his adult webcam company and was
5:46 pm
controlling and manipulative. the woman — who wants to remain anonymous and whose words are spoken by an actor — said that andrew tate "totally lacks any kind of empathy". along with his brother, andrew tate is being held in custody in romania while police investigate allegations of human trafficking and rape, which both men deny. neither man has been charged. 0ur reporter georgia coan has more details. i've just buried this so deeply. yeah, so, it was... it was just constantly feeling inferior to him. i realised ijust couldn't live like that any more and it wasn't normal. ijust had to get away from him. sophie, whose name and voice have been changed to protect her identity, dated social media influencer andrew tate for several months. he first contacted her on facebook. he was very charming and he made himself seem very familiar. he made me feel very comfortable. and obviously, in hindsight, i know — yeah, that's his character, it's part of the manipulation. that's what he does.
5:47 pm
after a few weeks, andrew tate persuaded sophie, who had worked in the adult entertainment industry before, to travel to his home in romania to meet him in person for the first time. i was at a stage of my life where everything sort of felt a bit boring and a bit dull, and this idea of an adventure and lifestyle and this guy seemed so into me, and he's making me smile every day, and the idea just seemed attractive to me. for the last six weeks, the former kickboxer from luton and his brother tristan have been detained in romania as part of a human trafficking and rape investigation — something they both deny. there's not muchjustice in romania. they're accused of luring women to their compound in bucharest and coercing them to create online pornographic content on webcams. a couple of times, he'd said to me, "oh, you should do it, "you'd make a fortune, but you don't have to if you don't want to." "you don't have to do it. "you can do nothing,
5:48 pm
i make enough money." but he was always reminding me that the option was there, and that kind of progressed into, "well, if you love me, you would do it. "if you care about me, you would do it, "because this is my business and we can build something together "and make all this money and we can buy property and invest". and i think over time, just chipping away at me, eventually. he led me to think, "yeah, maybe he's right." how would you describe andrew tate? he's a very complex man. there are a lot of different sides to him. i think it's important to recognise the character he is online is just not the real him, and he's a very good actor. he's very manipulative. he totally lacks any kind of empathy. he's a narcissist, he's like that 100%, and it's important to remember that when you look at these videos and read the things he writes and everything he does, it's calculated. the real andrew is very quiet, very moody, very, very dark, heavy. he's notjovial and light—hearted and funny. if you'd sat in a room with him, he'd be on his phone playing chess or on his phone making money somehow
5:49 pm
— that's all he cares about. would you say that you are a victim of human trafficking? it's very difficult because i don't feel like a victim. i mean, all the choices i made were of my free will. he didn't bundle me up in a bag, throw me in the back of a lorry and drive me there. ultimately, the choices i made were my own. but he knew, he knew what he was doing and he's the most manipulative person on the planet — i'm sure of it. at what point does the emotional or psychological manipulation turn into being forced to do something? the bbc put these allegations to andrew tate through his lawyers, but media representatives for the tate brothers said that they would not comment on the claims. i was so depressed and so unhappy. it was a moment of clarity, ijust thought, "this isn't right, i shouldn't be treated like this. "i shouldn't feel like this." so, yeah, i made the decision it had to be the end of it and i had to get away from this person. georgia coan, bbc news.

and you can hear the extended interview, "living with andrew tate" on file on four on bbc radio 4 tomorrow night at 8pm. as our digital lives expand so does the need for online storage — but have you ever wondered how much energy is used to save information to the cloud? thousands of computers are in operation 24—hours a day in order to record our online activity. environmental campaigners claim these data centres use as much power and water as 200,000 homes — and this could be threatening the completion of housing developments around the uk. richard bilton has this report. 0n the west coast of ireland, the latest bit of the cloud is about to come down to earth. it's huge, it's two storeys high. it uses massive amounts of electricity. the plan is for a 145—acre site full of computers. the developers say it's sustainable, but local campaigners say it will use as much power as 200,000 homes.
5:51 pm
it's completely unsustainable to continue on this path of growth, growth, growth, and especially with data centres, who use an awful lot of fossil fuel energy at the moment, as well as water, and those are very precious resources. it'll be part of a global network of thousands of data centres that house the cloud. and they're greedy for power and water. streaming, saving photos, conference calls, the cloud is responsible for millions of tonnes of greenhouse gases every year. here in ireland, the centres now use 14% of the country's electricity. if the rise in data centres goes unchecked, then, by 2030, 30% of all of ireland's power will go into the cloud. it's disputed by the industry, but as a rough comparison, research suggests a five—minute internet search uses around
5:52 pm
as much energy as boiling a kettle for a cup of tea. somewhere there's a machine that is doing all the analysis of the data and all the indexing, which allows the search to be then done rapidly. there's machinery under the surface doing that on your behalf, and each of that has a carbon cost. this is staines in west london. housing developments here have been delayed because new cloud storage centres need the power. data centres have definitely stifled the delivery of housing and speed i at which we can deliver new housing in this part of the capital. _ looking at potentially - thousands of new homes that will either not come forward, - or will come forward more slowly. the big tech companies say they are reducing water consumption and greenhouse gas emissions around the world, but the cloud is the environmental issue we're all making worse. 0ur phones, tvs and e—mails
