the way to attack emergency shipping tucked away in a norwegian field. and paying tribute to an unsung hero of the second world war. we'll tell you the story of the wooden wonder. hello and welcome. a rescue operation is continuing overnight in southern turkey and northern syria after two huge earthquakes killed more than 4,300 people. blizzards are making it even harder to find those trapped under collapsed buildings. leaders from around the world have responded with offers of help. here's azadeh moshiri.

it's a race to save lives that includes the smallest ones. syria's voluntary civil defence group the white helmet pulled our committee out to safety, they say the home of his family north of aleppo has been completely destroyed by the earthquake. syria was already torn apart by a war, home to millions of refugees, the white helmet say ahmed is one of them. millions of people are reeling across the region from the horace they would stir. my wife is still _ the horace they would stir. m wife is still in there, the horace they would stir. mg wife is still in there, my wife is still in there, one should never give up on hope that most probably she died. the never give up on hope that most probably she died.— probably she died. the first 7.8 magnitude _ probably she died. the first 7.8 magnitude earthquakel probably she died. the first l 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit the turkish city of gaziantep

in the early hours of the morning the second seven point five quake further north in the afternoon. millions of people across turkey, syria, lebanon and cyprus and israel felt them. now survivors are relying on emergency services to find them. but also on help from their neighbours, friends, and even strangers. this man tied a string to a water bottle and lowered it into the rubble for the survivors trapped beneath. we have received several offers of international aid for our country, offers of assistance from 45 countries including nato and the european union have reached us.— have reached us. emergency service teams _ have reached us. emergency service teams have - have reached us. emergency service teams have been - service teams have been deployed from around the world. they are now on the ground searching for bodies and offering food and shelter. and that help is essential, many are still missing. this young

girl asks, where is my mother. some who survived now find themselves homeless. these bonfires are what keep them warm during the biting winter. we will be cold here until morning, freezing, getting wet. we have got no place to say, no place to stay. my god, we don't even have a bed. figs place to stay. my god, we don't even have a bed.— even have a bed. as the search for survivors — even have a bed. as the search for survivors continues, - even have a bed. as the search for survivors continues, rescue | for survivors continues, rescue teams have another task at hand counting he did in one of the biggest earthquakes to hit the region in decades. azadeh moshiri, bbc news. hardin lang from refugees international explained to us how sanctions and political instability have affected the rescue operation on the ground. the situation in syria and in north—west syria is acute and chronic, for the last 10 years

of conflict has destroyed a great deal of the infrastructure, punished the civilian population. in north—west syria, you have 4 million people already in need of humanitarian assistance, millions displaced from other parts of the country living very close to the line. the only aid that gets into north—west syria comes across the border with the un mechanism, to supply assistance through one border crossing at this stage, those 4 million people already were being massively under resourced. the un appeal was less than 50% in terms of its funding for this year, and those populations are the ones that will be hit the hardest. there are areas controlled by the syrian government that have been extremely hard, probably greater capacity there to respond and the syrian government has a history of brutality, withholding humanitarian assistance but they do have capacity and there are un agencies there to support north—west syria. it is up to organisations like white helmets and civil society groups as the last line of defence in responding

to the crisis. i'm joined from melbourne by the adam pascale. he's chief scientist at the seismology research centre which is an earthquake 0bservatory. thank you for being on the programme. we are seeing the scale of this, the aftermath of these huge earthquakes, talk house how this disaster happened, the magnitude of it? it's a very unusually large and impactful series of events. the main earthquake, 7.8 occurred at the intersection of three tectonic plates,. and the east anatolian fault that has slept, in this case has triggered so many after—shocks, very soon

after the first, one of the contributing factors to the impact of this event. there is also the fact _ impact of this event. there is also the fact it _ impact of this event. there is also the fact it is _ impact of this event. there is also the fact it is shallow - also the fact it is shallow thatis also the fact it is shallow that is a huge factor isn't it? absolutely, it was only 17 kilometres deep, relative the shallow for an event of the size globally, it means that energy is much closer to the surface and impacted on the surface and impacted on the surface much more greatly. the fact population was located very close to the % as well, was another factor in the fact that happened in the early hours of the morning. people had even less time to react. ln had even less time to react. in terms of the damage done, it's enormous, and you canjust see from the images we are looking at, the scale of the damage which. could this have been prevented in any way? l which. could this have been prevented in any way? i think preparation — prevented in any way? i think preparation for _ prevented in any way? i think preparation for events - prevented in any way? i think preparation for events of - prevented in any way? i think preparation for events of this | preparation for events of this type the only way to vent these sorts of things. there are now

standards in place in turkey about construction of earthquake resistant buildings, and that will be a factor when rebuilding these cities, but so many of these buildings affected by these earthquakes, well before any of those standards were put in place, and there are issues with quality of construction as well which i early will be better in the future. ln which i early will be better in the future.— the future. in terms of the likelihood _ the future. in terms of the likelihood of _ the future. in terms of the likelihood of this - the future. in terms of the l likelihood of this happening again, what does the science tell us? , , again, what does the science tellus? ,, , , tell us? typically, we will see a reduction — tell us? typically, we will see a reduction in _ tell us? typically, we will see a reduction in after-shocks i a reduction in after—shocks over time, a reduction in after—shocks overtime, doesn't a reduction in after—shocks over time, doesn't rule out the fact another large event may occur but the longer we go the less likely that is to occur. but after—shocks will continue for days, a magnitude could be an issue for rescue effort �*s. and they will continue for weeks and months are the words at lower magnitude but we will

see ongoing events, no doubt. adam pascal ackermann q4 see ongoing events, no doubt. adam pascal ackermann 04 your analysis there from the earthquake observatory based in melbourne. let's see how the newspapers are digestive events. this time yesterday it was unfolding and becoming our clear how enormous the earthquakes had been in turkey on the board of syria. the front page of the times, giant earthquake kills thousands in their sleep, it has the image of the young girl which many of the papers have got, the young girl that was rescued and pulled from the rubble. the times says the death toll is expected to rise in the region already suffering war and a refugee crisis. the sun also has the same image of the young girl who was rescued.

times, thousands dead after biggest quake in 84 years shakes turkey and syria. again, people pulling others out, where everybody was hands—on and trying to help find anyone. hearing all sorts of stories and tales and testimonies of people who did survive, who were pulled out, people on their phones messaging for help, trapped under the rubble. so lots and today's papers, which are summarised on our website as well. let's get some of the day's other news. the governor of texas has announced plans to expand a ban on the use of the chinese—owned social media platform, tiktok, by government workers due to security risks. the new guidelines calls for state employees not to use personal devices with the video sharing app downloaded on them. they were already prevented from using tiktok on government—issued devices. the us is concerned that the chinese government may

google says it's launching its own artificial debris has started to become recovered from the chinese balloon shutdown on the east coast on saturday. the white house said navy vessels have gathered remnants from the surface but when the conditions rented an underwater search. david willis says many questions remain. the white house is keen not to let this latest incident exacerbate still further the tensions between these two nations. president biden was asked by reporters at the white house about the balloon felling at the weekend and he said that it was necessary, but he brushed off suggestions that this would further weaken relations between the us and china. last week, of course, us secretary of state antony blinken abruptly cancelled a planned visit to beijing, that was a meeting that many thought — or a visit that many hoped would basically strengthen relations that had been at the worst for many years — some have described it indeed

as a new kind of cold war. to beijing, that was a meeting that many thought — or a visit that many hoped would basically strengthen relations that had been at the worst for many years — some have described it indeed as a new kind of cold war. but the white house also made the point that that meeting was postponed, but hasn't been cancelled altogether. it seems that both sides might be looking for some sort of window to draw a line under this balloon incident and for mr blinken to proceed with his meeting with xijinping and others at some stage in the future. of course, much of that will be up to china. google says it's launching its own artificial intelligence—powered chatbot to rival chatgpt— which mimics human writing on demand. chatgpt, owned by microsoft, has taken the tech world by storm since its launch two months ago. james clayton reports from los angeles. chatgpt said the internet on file when it launched in

november. it's incredibly detailed answers have amazed users. they can pass exams, compose poems, even write code. it's seen as game changing technology. now google has rushed to announce its version of chatgpt. it's called bud and it's based on similar technology. bud seeks to combine the breadth of the world's knowledge with our intelligence and creativity of our large language models. it was stressed that he wanted google's ai services to bold and responsible is but there was more than a whiff of panic as well. this announcement is the latest salvo in fight between google and microsoft workers make no mistake about it, chatgpt threatens to undermine google's entire business model. that's because chatgpt�*s ai could transform search engines, producing far more tailored and relevant results. it is now widely expected that microsoft's

search engine being will be incorporated into chatgpt and that announcement is expected. you can see why google is seriously worried. more than 90% of the world's searches are on google. the company makes a fortune from the dominance through advertising revenue. in contrast, around 3% of searches are currently on bing. microsoft would love a bit and apply. in mountain view, home of google headquarters, executives are concerned. they hope that bard will be the answer to chatgpt. the company is poured money into ai over the past years. bard is based around a language model named blunder which says was so humanlike, he believed the system to be sent in. we still don't know how good bard is or will be but one thing we do know is that google is seriously spoke. just one way chatgpt is already disrupting the tech industry. james clayton, bbc news, silicon valley. it certainly is, and

china's baidu has announced a similar news as well so we will be looking at that next on our business coverage. hello there. there's a lot of dry weather in store this week across the country, particularly so for england and wales, because high pressure will be dominating the scene, particularly towards the south. lower pressure always trying to flirt with the north of the uk, and at times, it will bring some stronger winds and rain, mainly to scotland. but even here, it will turn drier by the end of the week. now, through tuesday, it's a north—south divide — more cloud in the north, one or two spots of rain, some sunshine for the north and west of scotland. england and wales starting off cold and frosty, some mist and fog patches. 0therwise, plenty of sunshine. temperatures generally ranging from around 6 to 9 celsius. now, as we move through tuesday night, similar story, with southern areas turning cold and frosty under clear skies with mist and fog patches. a bit more of a breeze, a bit more cloud across scotland and northern ireland, so not quite as cold here as what it'll be further south. so for wednesday morning,

it's going to be another cold one to start with across the south. across scotland and northern ireland, so not quite as cold here as what it'll be further south. so for wednesday morning, it's going to be another cold one to start with across the south. mist and fog could be stubborn to clear in places, but i think eventually it will. plenty of sunshine in the south. a bit more cloud, one or two showers across scotland and northern ireland, the winds starting to pick up here. and by the evening, into the first part of the night, it'll turn very windy, in fact, with winds expected to reach in excess of 70mph in the northwest of scotland. so, the met office have a yellow warning in force for this wind. a band of rain will spread across the country too with the strong winds. barely anything on it when it reaches the south, but we're all into a chillier air mass for thursday. that band of cloud will eventually clear from the south. there could be quite a lot of sunshine, in fact, across england and wales, but further north, certainly for scotland, it's going to be a breezy day with sunshine and wintry showers. temperatures here 3 to 7 degrees, as opposed to 8 and maybe 9 further south, but a chilly feel when you factor in the wind. but the cold air doesn't last.

as we move through friday and certainly into the weekend, we start to see the milder air returning from the west. and high pressure always nearby, so it's going to be largely dry on friday. plenty of sunshine after a cold start for england and wales, further cloud for scotland and northern ireland, one oi’ two showers. but by this point, we will start to see the milder air moving in, so double figures for most. and it stays mild into the weekend as well. with high pressure still nearby, it's going to stay largely dry with sunny spells around. a bit of patchy cloud, but it'll feel milder.
