after yesterday's devastating earthquakes that hit turkey and syria. many more have been injured, as thousands of buildings collapsed. the homeless are now having to endure freezing temperatures without shelter, as rescue teams and local residents scramble to free others trapped in the rubble, with some people being heard crying out in pain for help. the uk hasjoined dozens of countries in promising aid for turkey's gaziantep province, near where the epicentre struck, and well beyond. with the very latest, here's richard galpin. almost 36 hours after the huge earthquake struck this region, survivors are still being pulled from the rubble of hundreds of collapsed buildings. this little girl was found in one syrian town.

the cries for help from the many people still trapped can also be heard in the rubble strewn streets of south—eastern turkey. adding to the difficulty of the rescue operations is the cold weather and winter storms. operations is the cold weather and winterstorms. on operations is the cold weather and winter storms. on top of this, many people have know where to go to for shelter. their homes have been destroyed and fear of more aftershocks is also deterring many from returning to what remains of their houses. the world health organization is appealing for rapid action by the international community. it action by the international community-— action by the international community. action by the international communi . , ., ., ., ., , community. it is now a race against time. community. it is now a race against time- every — community. it is now a race against time. every minute, _ community. it is now a race against time. every minute, every- community. it is now a race against time. every minute, every hour- community. it is now a race against| time. every minute, every hour that passes, the chances of finding survivors alive diminishes. there

with the resources they have at the minute. this has wiped out this city and i can't imagine how long it will take to actually see the full extent of what has happened. goad take to actually see the full extent of what has happened.— take to actually see the full extent of what has happened. good to get ou, thank of what has happened. good to get you. thank you _ of what has happened. good to get you. thank you so _ of what has happened. good to get you, thank you so much. _ of what has happened. good to get you, thank you so much. our- you, thank you so much. our correspondents near the epicentre in southern turkey. our middle east correpsondent tom bateman is in the city of iskenderun in southern turkey. is much basins off is coming in to help what is a very awful situation? none at all, clive, i was just talking to a family who are unable to go to a very badly damaged building here and told me that they have four friends missing building here and told me that they have fourfriends missing in building here and told me that they have four friends missing in that building and one confirmed dead, but the big problem for them, this is a

grandmother with children and young grandchildren, she said that there has been no aid at all, apart from a very small private group that was able to bring some bread and tomatoes this morning. we also saw a small truck handing outjumpers and trainers to people, but it was creating a very desperate scene. the other thing to point out about this town is the way it has become a series of disasters on top of each other, because we have a huge plume of smoke rising behind the shattered buildings here and on to the mountains over there. this is from a port fire, the fire started in containers. we drove past it, they looked like gas containers, which began as the earthquake struck. so a whole series of problems, and no apparent delivery of any formal aid here so far, all while present everyone declares a state of emergency in ten provinces,

including this one. collide ok, tom, tom bateman, thank you, in the city of iskenderun in southern turkey. this is the most powerful earthquake to hit turkey in almost a century. the epicentre was here in the south close to the city of gaziantep near the border with syria, one of the world's most seismically active regions. that's because turkey sits on the fault line, where three tectonic plates come together. the arabian plate is constantly pushing into the eurasian plate, which squeezes this one, the anatolian plate, to the west. it's moving at about 2cm every year. where the plates grind past each other, more fault lines are created, leading to the earthquake we saw yesterday. our diplomatic correspondent james landale is here. james, we can see from those maps how close the earthquake is to syria, but we're not seeing as much coverage of the destruction there — why? that is because syria is still at war, after more than a decade, so

this region that has been hit in the north—west, part of the territory is controlled by the government, part held by the rebels, part of it are almost ungoverned space with competing militias vying for power, so it is hard to get aid in, hard to get information out, had four journalists to get in on the ground. there is only one border crossing allowing aid in, and there is already humanitarian crisis the region. i looked up the un figures this morning, almost 3 million displaced people in that part of the world, of which almost 2 million are in refugee camps, over 3 million face food insecurity — that is before this earthquake. the route in from the north is controlled by the syrians and russians, so there will be pressure growing for that to open up. the big question is, how much aid is the international community prepared to offer syria, at the moment more is going to turkey, and

secondly how much aid will the syrian government allow into areas they consider to be rebel held? james landale, thank you. one of the uk's most prolific sex offenders, the former met police officer david carrick, has been given 36 sentences of life imprisonment and has been told he would serve a minimum term of 30 years 239 days before being considered for parole. he has pleaded guilty to 85 offences, including dozens of rapes, against 12 victims between 2003 and 2020 while he was a serving police officer. behind a public appearance of propriety and trustworthiness, you took monstrous advantage of women drawn into intimate relationships with you. you brazenly raped and sexually assaulted many women, some you barely knew. you behaved as if you were untouchable. charge in sentencing there. our

correspondentsjune kelly is at southwark crown court, this was a day his many, many victims were anxious would come, and it is finally here. yes, clive, and some of them were in court to see david carrick receive his very lengthy sentence. there is a protest involving violence against women campaigners, which is the noise you can hear. thejudge, mrs justice cheema—grubb, said to carrick that he had not expressed any resource or regret for his crimes, although he has admitted a catalogue of offences, but he said he cannot remember any of the acts of violence he committed, and we heard that wiley has been in the prison system, he has tried to kill himself. thejudge prison system, he has tried to kill himself. the judge said she thought that was a self pitying reaction, rather than a display of remorse. she told him he had shaped the lives of the women he abused and damaged them very badly. as i say, somewhere

in court to see him sentenced, and one said to me afterwards that she felt it was the right sentence because if he ever is released, he will be very old man, nearly 80 before he can be considered for release. thejudge also before he can be considered for release. the judge also said he before he can be considered for release. thejudge also said he had used his position as a police officer to deter women from reporting, and she said to him as a former police officer, she acknowledged he would have a difficult time in the prison system for many years. clive. collidejune kelly at southwark crown court. rishi sunak has announced a mini—reshuffle of his cabinet. grant shapps is now secretary of a newly formed energy security and net zero department. and greg hands has been named as the new conservative party chairman. with all the details, here's our political correspondent ben wright. the shape of the rishi sunak�*s rejigged government was slow to emerge. through the morning, rumour and speculation swirled around westminster. it was clear the big names weren't budging. are you being reshuffled, minister? the chancellor, jeremy hunt, for

instance, remains in the treasury. but elsewhere in whitehall, departments are being rewired and rebadged. so this is grant shapps, arriving at the department for business, energy and industrial strategy last october. but that department has now been chopped up. mr shapps will now lead a new department for energy security and net zero — something rishi sunak promised to do before he became prime minister. the war in ukraine, rocketing energy bills and climate change have made energy security a key issue for the government. labour has long called for this new department, but issues such as onshore wind farms remain very controversial in rishi sunak�*s party. the former culture secretary, michelle donelan, will now lead another new department — for science, innovation and technology. while kemi badenoch has been put in charge of a department that combines business and trade — the sixth business secretary since the 2019 general election.

nearly four months into the job, rishi sunak has tried to rework the government around his priorities. not by hiring and firing a crop of new cabinet ministers — after the turmoil of last year, the prime minister has decided to tinker with structures instead. but after firing the former tory chairman, nadhim zahawi, last month, he has used today to name a replacement. and this is him. greg hands has been a minister since the distant days of david cameron. are your taxes in order? good morning — they certainly are! a safe pair of hands, the prime minister hopes. he will have the job of priming the tory party for the next election. unaffected by today's rejigged is thejustice secretary and deputy prime minister, dominic raab, currently being investigated for bullying accusations, which he denies. so a stamp of new management by the new prime minister, but not the end of his problems. ben wright, bbc news, westminster.

our chief political correspondent nick eardley is in downing street. watched as the rejig tell us about rishi sunak�*s mood at the moment? —— what does the rejig? it rishi sunak's mood at the moment? -- what does the rejig?— what does the re'ig? it feels like classic rishi — what does the rejig? it feels like classic rishi sunak _ what does the rejig? it feels like classic rishi sunak to _ what does the rejig? it feels like classic rishi sunak to me, - what does the rejig? it feels like classic rishi sunak to me, a - classic rishi sunak to me, a seasoned operator as conservative chairman, a safe pair of hands, if you excuse the pun is, just few months before what looked to be tricky at local elections for the conservatives. and we have a lot of rewiring of how government works. the prime minister is trying to tell us about his big strategic priorities. energy security, trying to make the uk more energy self—sufficient after spikes in prices and the war in ukraine we have seen recently. science and technology, two things mr sunak has talked about for a long time as key economic priorities for him. both of

those things will really matter but they are medium—term plans for this government and for the last few weeks there have been a lot of conservative aunties that are nervous, there not a political direction to this government right now, verse eight is perhaps not as cut—throat as some previous ones might have been —— there have been a lot of conservative mps that are nervous. . ~' lot of conservative mps that are nervous. ., ~ , ., a lot of conservative mps that are nervous. ., ~ i. a ., , nervous. thank you, nick eardley in downin: nervous. thank you, nick eardley in downing street. _ police believe the head teacher at one of the country's leading private schools was shot dead by her husband before he took his own life with the same gun. the bbc understands emma pattison was killed in the family home on the grounds of epsom college. detectives are working on the theory her husband george also killed their seven—year—old daughter lettie. our correspondent robin brant is here. no one else is being sought in connection with this incident? surrey police have confirmed three bits of information that we have reported on all morning. they are

treating this as a double murder and suicide. secondly, george pattison was a registered gun owner, he had a licence, they have recovered a weapon from the scene registered to him. thirdly there was contact between george pattison and surrey police, he was updating the details of his home address on the licence because they had recently moved, emma pattison only started working at epsom in september last year. we are told mrs paterson actually made are told mrs paterson actually made a distress call to another family member sometime late on saturday or early on sunday morning —— mrs pattison made. that person went to the family home but by the time they got there, all three were dead. surrey police has referred itself to the independent office for police conduct relating to the contact in the days before. it regards that as routine. there will be postmortem

examinations later in the week, but a clearer picture is emerging of what happened in the early hours of sunday and the police believe that the person responsible for the two killings, the murders, was the husband, the father, and it happened that this prestigious school on the edge of the rural community of epsom. our top story this lunchtime: more than 5000 people are known to have died after the devastating earthquakes which hit turkey and syria. rescuers are still trying to save those trapped under the rubble. how a howa group how a group of volunteers in east sussex are trying to get one of the fastest fighter—bombers of the second world war back in the air. coming up on the bbc news channel: the search is on for the successor tojesse marsch at leeds after the american was sacked yesterday. the club are above the relegation

zone on goal difference, without a win in seven matches in the premier league. they call themselves the warriors, three female cyclists who risked their lives to escape the taliban. now, for the first time, they've been speaking about their hopes of competing in next year's olympic games. women and girls are banned from playing all sport in afghanistan, but since arriving in the uk last november, mina, persia and arifa have been training twice a week. graham satchell has been to meet them. come on, guys. nice and easy, we're just going to go easy. all right, with me? let's go. a cycle track in west london and a group of afghan athletes are being put through their paces. nice, let's go. i lost my dreams when taliban came in afghanistan. i have a safe life today in england. i can tell you, if you stay in afghanistan before - and come in uk, you know, -

like a night and day, the changes. like a night and day. these cyclists used to compete as a team, but when the taliban came back to power, cycling for all women was banned. suddenly, in one week, everything changed. the lights changed to the darkness. we couldn't imagine our future. we lost hope. the women in afghanistan are deprived of their basic human rights, unfortunately. a fundraising event organised by the charity that helped to rescue the athletes. it took months of negotiating, but eventually three coaches, 15 athletes and some of their family members, 30 in all, were allowed into the country under the home office's lotr — or leave outside the rules — scheme. the cyclists have been training twice a week since they arrived in october. they're now under the expert guidance of coach james haigh. the girls call themselves the warriors.

so it's... i mean, the word warrior, the definition itself is to have a fighting spirit, to have tenacity and to have drive. what i see out there on the bike, they've certainly got all of that and certainly got a bright future. i have my basic rights here. i can live like a human. i can ride my bicycle and i can pursue my dreams. that's cycling, yeah — to be a professional cyclist. the team have set their sights high. they are aiming for the olympic games in paris next year. they want to be a symbol of hope for the millions of women forced to endure the taliban regime in afghanistan. graham satchell, bbc news. energy giant bp has reported record profits for last year — partly driven by surging oil and gas prices in the wake of russia's invasion of ukraine. they more than doubled to £23 billion in 2022. and the company has scaled

back plans to reduce oil and gas output by 2030. our business editor simonjack is here. how is all of this going down? it is not unexpected, _ how is all of this going down? it 3 not unexpected, last week we saw that shell had the highest profits in history and this is the highest profits bp has ever made in their history at £23 billion, fuelled by those soaring oil and gas prices, as you say. one key question people haveis you say. one key question people have is big profits, how much tax are they paying here in the uk, for example? they paid £i.8 are they paying here in the uk, for example? they paid £1.8 billion in uk tax, that does not seem that high but 90% of its profits are made outside the uk. we had total taxes on oil and gas of 75% after the windfall taxes, one of the highest rates in the world, although they can offset that against

decommissioning oil rigs etc. at one of the most eye—catching things was that they are slightly scaling back their target of reducing oil and gas production. they said they would have 40% less by 2030, the new target today is 25% less oil and gas production because they say the demand is there for oil and gas, this war has exposed how reliant we still are on oil and gas so they will invest more, keep existing oil and gas assets open for longer so by 2030 there oil and gas production will fall by less than thought by 2030. gas prices in particular, which have fuelled a lot of the cost of living crisis, will not go back to pre—covid, pre—russian war decades, until 2035. although they have been falling and we expect that to continue, we will not get back to what we are used to for another decade or so. what we are used to for another decade or so— what we are used to for another decade or so. ., ,, i. ,, ., g. . ,, rising energy costs have left many

people struggling to pay the bills, but the bbc has learned that as much as £50 million of government money to help families has been left unclaimed. customers with traditional prepayment meters could have cashed in vouchers for extra support, but many haven't been used. our cost of living correspondent colletta smith reports. extra money for each household's energy bills. that was the promise. if you pay by direct debit in britain it's been £66 a month knocked off the bills or credited to your account. but the two million households with a physical pre—payment meter have been sent vouchers in the post or by email each month that then need to be taken to a local shop to be credited onto the meter. figures seen by the bbc from paypoint and the post office show that 81% of vouchers for october and november were cashed before they expired, which leaves more than three quarters of a million uncashed vouchers for october and november before the expiry date

passed this weekend. but it's not too late. if you haven't received your voucher or haven't cashed it in time, then contact your energy supplier and ask for it to be reissued. make sure your details are correct on the system because you need to bring in it to cash in your voucher, so make sure your name and address match up with the system, they should post you a new one or send it ljy should post you a new one or send it by e—mail and you can use that one. emma is one of those frustrated to have missed out on the cash. i have not received — have missed out on the cash. i have not received the _ have missed out on the cash. i have not received the october _ have missed out on the cash. i have not received the october voucher, l have missed out on the cash. i have | not received the october voucher, we are in february and i had still not received it. i have been in touch with british gas on the phone i know few occasions and they keep blaming it on royal mail, i have written a complaint. it on royal mail, i have written a complaint-— complaint. gas have said they contact emma _ complaint. gas have said they contact emma to _ complaint. gas have said they contact emma to help - complaint. gas have said they contact emma to help her- complaint. gas have said they contact emma to help her but| complaint. gas have said they - contact emma to help her but others say they need to do more to make

sure the vouchers are getting through, including trying to reach customers three times by more than one means, including posts, e—mails and text. citizens advice say that it's not happening at the moment. there are some people who have been told to check their email to see if it's in there and unfortunately they're not online, they don't use an email account regularly, so they can't use that method. and there seem to be many people where their address data is incorrect, so itjust hasn't landed on their doorstep. energy companies are already in hot water for the way they treat pre—payment customers, and now it seems some of the most —— but they have told us they are fully committed to ensuring vouchers are delivered and redeemed and to make the support scheme is successful as possible. but right now, some of the most vulnerable are out of pocket at a time they need it most. coletta smith, bbc news. the great british fighting planes of world war two, like the spitfire and the hurricane, are legends of the conflict. but there was another aircraft,

one of the fastest of its type, and made of wood, that these days is less well known, but which featured heavily in the war. known as the mosquito, there are none left flying now in the uk, but that could be about to change thanks to a group of volunteers. here's tim muffett. archive: mosquitoes of raf j coastal command on the way to attack enemy shipping, tucked away in a norwegian fjord. its nickname was the wooden wonder. the mossies peel off at 5000 feet. they dive at an angle of 45 degrees, at a speed the mosquito played a crucial role in defeating the nazis. there you go. just nothing to it. george dunn, who is 100 years old, flew them on numerous missions during world war two. it was my favourite aircraft. i've flown several spitfires and that, but the mosquito was absolutely out of this world. it's thought there are only four airworthy planes left — three in the us and one in canada. a mosquito hasn't been built in the uk for 70 years...

..until now. we're the people's mosquito. so we're a uk charity- rebuilding, remanufacturing, a de havilland mosquito. aircraft to british skies. using traditional methods, the volunteers are following original technical drawings discovered in an old filing cabinet at the airbus factory in broughton in north wales, where mosquitoes were once built. george has come along to rye in east sussex to meet the volunteers. this plane will also feature original mosquito parts. we've rescued this control column from canada. - i can't believe that they're being renovated, resurrected. making a plane out of wood was controversial at first. in world war two, most combat aircraft were made of metal. but for the designer, sir geoffrey de havilland, it wasn't

so much about saving money. he believed his wooden aircraft would be light, it would be streamlined because there'd be no metal rivets, and it would be very, very fast. raf cameramen capture a vivid impression of speed, as the squadrons hedge—hop and roof—skim their way to eindhoven. this is the log from your raids over berlin. that's right, yes. what was it like — were you scared, were you excited? what kind of emotions were going through your mind? well, i wouldn't say i was scared. you were more apprehensive, but not not so much with the mozzie. you've got the speed and you've got the height. amazing aircraft. with their current funding, the volunteers believe it'll take four years to get their mosquito in the air. it'sjust marvellous. i can't believe it's happening. unfortunately, i don't think i shall be here when it's completed!

the team would dearly love to prove george wrong.
