75 mph in north—west scotland. winds far lighter further south and east and temperatures generally between seven and ten. through wednesday night and into thursday this weather front will weaken quite significantly, not much rain getting in to the south and probably not so much fog on thursday morning, some wintry showers in scotland, mostly wintry showers in scotland, mostly wintry over high ground, many of the showers fate so thursday is largely dry with temperatures of eight or 9 degrees. a bit of a change in the feel of the weather, this frontal system pushes in from the west and will bring a feed of winds from the atlantic, quite a mild wind direction so we will see temperatures climbing. parts of scotland or northern ireland could see temperatures of 12 or 13 degrees. it will be mainly dry over the weekend but we could see patches of mist and fog towards the south. thank you, ben rich.

address. let's get more on the earthquakes in southern turkey and northern syria — with more than five thousand people still known to have died, and the world health organisation saying that around 23 million people could be affected. with both countries facing an unprecedented humanitarian situation, syria adds this devastation to an on—going civil war that started in 2011. the journalist zaina erhaim told us more about it. well, if this is the case in turkey that's well equipped, that has faced different earthquakes and is ready to deal with such a circumstances, and that's awful. we can imagine what is happening in syria. i mean, even before the uprising, we didn't have such health measures or any kind of restrictions on buildings. so our buildings have already been very fragile. and then with the regime bombing and the russian bombing of the buildings, they are they were falling apart even before the earthquake. so now adding to that,
1:39 pm
that this health system that have been like deliberately attacked by the regime and russia for the last ten years is not capable of serving like the least. and the rescuers who are working in so many areas and they don't have the right equipment and no international rescuers are getting in and no international support is getting in. i mean, even condolences and support, they're mainly mentioning turkey and forgetting about syria as if it's the usual for syrians to die. so there is no need to really freak out about it. so i think from what i'm seeing and i'm hearing in northern syria, if no urgent and immediate international help is getting specifically to the northern parts of lebanon, aleppo, the number of deaths is going to be much, much more by tomorrow. joining me now is murad shishani from the bbc�*s arabic service. we are feeling about the situation
1:40 pm
in turkey as opposed to cilia because there is the ongoing civil war there but given that the situation and turkey is particularly problematic because of the construction of a lot of the buildings in that area and that is something people have been pointing to, they have been incredibly destructive and powerful earthquakes but the situation has been made worse by the construction of the building. worse by the construction of the buildinu. ~ ., ._ building. indeed, ithink today talkin: in building. indeed, ithink today talking in cilia _ building. indeed, ithink today talking in cilia about _ building. indeed, ithink today talking in cilia about the - building. indeed, ithink today| talking in cilia about the health and safety measures, having the situation there and the asked decade we have been with the civil war and this was hit hard in the northern areas. if you remember theirs was isis and the kurdish militants fighting with opposition leaders and the governmental forces and now
1:41 pm
turkey intervention and also we can see the area you are talking about the 800 kilometres, 500 miles of border between the crossings closed but that was the epicentre of the violence, now heads with the earthquake and the situation has worsened so talking about health and safety measures and construction of the building because the russian bombardment for aleppo was carpet bombing. today i was talking to people and to give you a sense of what was going on the add healing pleas of people under the rubble asking for help so that was the situation, devastating in that area. it leads to talk about when is the
1:42 pm
international aid, there are lots of complications, crossings and closed, these areas as some adult control of these areas as some adult control of the rebel and others at the syrian regime insisting on ticking aid from rush hour and iran. the allies during the last decades and the other hand the do not have enough equipment to take people out of the rubble and do not have a view. the situation is gloomy and whilst there are 45 countries offering help regarding syria so far because are saying there is no help.— regarding syria so far because are saying there is no help. countries around the world have been responding to appeals for help. joining me now from geneva is shadi alshhadehof from the union
1:43 pm
of medical care and relief organizations — a coalition of humanitarian and medical organisations. (05) we are hearing that international aid is not arriving just as yet, once we get close to the two countries affected, how difficult will it be to get it to the affected area. it will it be to get it to the affected area. , ., , , . ., area. it used to be very challenging for many reasons, _ area. it used to be very challenging for many reasons, military - area. it used to be very challenging for many reasons, military and - for many reasons, military and political. we have seen the clashes in the un security council to allow humanitarian aid we need a vote of the six months yet after this quickly roads destroyed. the path to go there regardless of the political and military context are difficult
1:44 pm
and military context are difficult and complicated. we are trying to get more information when and how we can get you monetarily need to the region and now there is no clear information, we have a cross boarding that unauthorised by the un, that might start receiving commercial transportation. still not confirmed. people _ commercial transportation. still not confirmed. people are _ commercial transportation. still not confirmed. people are dying - commercial transportation. still not confirmed. people are dying now i commercial transportation. still not confirmed. people are dying now in | confirmed. people are dying now in the rubble, equipment as needed, survivors and the open and terrible freezing conditions, no shelter, obviously after a huge disaster like this the prospect of water diseases spreading but you are saying political fighting within the un because this is a contested area and the north of syria could delay urgent help getting to these people.
1:45 pm
we hope not, we count on the international community to take the humanitarian values and consider that. this region as a host for 11.5 million, it did not have this 3 million, it did not have this 3 million internally displaced, refugees. these people have no home in the region and those who had homes for a while as destroyed now. reconstruction is needed not only materials but the will and motivation, do i want to continue living in this region where my basket of food needs a conflict in the conflict in the un security council, this needs to be fun once this region has been the worst
1:46 pm
humanitarian conditions since world war ii. now above that head by unprecedented earthquakes and 100 years. if we are not gathered today joining forces to help these people then please tell me when should we do that. pa. then please tell me when should we do that. �* , ., ., then please tell me when should we do that. �* , , ., ., ~ do that. a very good question. thank ou. let's take a look now at what's making the news across the uk volunteers from the north west have flown out to turkey, to join an international rescue operation after two major earthquakes there. more than four thousand people have died. medics from a manchester—based
1:47 pm
charity have been preparing their equipment and other supplies. they've helped out at other earthquakes. katie walderman has been to their base. that's right. you join me from the uk med warehouse here in stockport, where all the medical supplies and equipment that the team headed out to turkey may need are being assembled. and i'm joined now by gemma from the uk med charity. and gemma, just tell us who have you got headed out there? where are they headed for and how are they trying to help or hoping to help? yeah. so we've got a team of roughly five members, a mixture of medical staff and operational staff. they're heading out to gaziantep if we can get them that far in. and essentially, they're there to make an assessment to see what the situation is on the ground, what needs there are out there, what we can identify, that we can help with, and basically send the message back to us of what they need sending out in order to set up an operation. 0bviously, communications are pretty bad at the moment. so what are you doing in the meantime while you wait for word of what they need? so just making sure that everything else is prepared.
1:48 pm
so we had to support them yesterday with getting out some basic equipment that they would need tents, a smartphone, those kind of things, so that they can do the job they need to do. so that was yesterday's job. and today we're going to start pulling down all of the equipment in readiness. and everything you see behind me here would be what we'd need to set up a field hospital from scratch. just tell us what's in some of these boxes. so it's all boxed together in a way that should hopefully pop up a little bit in the field. but it's anything from kind of tents and generators that you see behind me to tables and chairs and trolleys for the team to work on, as well as sending out medical consumables and pharmaceuticals from our netherlands warehouse as well to support with the actual treatment of patients. and we know that at least 5000 people have died so far. we know that figure could rise and will rise dramatically. how are the team out there prepared for what they'll face? yeah, we've got really experienced team going. they've been out to several disasters with us recently, including ukraine that we were in a few months ago. and so they've got good knowledge and good experience of doing this as well as we support them with some basic training and support from here as well to kind of prepare them a little bit
1:49 pm

now, this year marks the seventy—fifth anniversary of the lp, and the value of vinyl sales is now officially outstripping cds for the first time in more than thirty years. it means business is booming for record sellers, and it's led to some vinyl chart success for one welsh band. lucy 0wen reports. the crackle of the needle on vinyl. for some, there's nothing like it. when the cd appeared, though, it looked like the end of records. but decades later. scratch that. this is the third record fair at the dolman theatre in newport. each one gets bigger and bigger, with hundreds of people coming to snap up their favourite artists on vinyl. you find cool things on vinyl, i think, than cds because there's just so much older and you get more vintage stuff. i think there's something really nice about owning a record and then obviously it sounds lovely. last year we bought £150 million worth of old style albums as sales
1:55 pm
in the uk increased by 11%. well, we are getting a lot more young people coming in all ages from people buying back their record collections that they got rid of when they moved to cd. to young people buying their first records. and with superstar artists like harry styles and taylor swift, also promoting their albums on vinyl, sales have been rocketing. you can really see that shift in the demographics that are buying into and enjoying vinyl. you get to have a tangible piece of products that really allows you to connect with the artist in a way that you probably can't do with many other formats. and i think that's something that young people have potentially missed out on when they were growing up, growing up in the kind of digital era and are now discovering it and finding that it's a really special way to connect with the artists that they love. last month, pontypridd band cvc scored a top 20 vinyl album. anybody can listen to anything on spotify, but if you've purchased
1:56 pm
it yourself and you have the luxury of putting it on the vinyl, dropping the needle on it. so whether you remember vinyl the first time around or whether you're enjoying the vinyl revival, it looks like records aren't being replaced any time soon. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. some of us were greeted with frost and fog first thing, some of it has been very reluctant to clear, causing travel problems. further north and west not fog but cloud, a band sinking slowly southeast bringing just the odd spot of rain, brighter skies following on, winds picking up
1:57 pm
in the far north of scotland. where the fog has cleared some spells of sunshine, temperatures 6—11 and overnight the band of cloud sits across parts of north—west england and southern scotland, maybe some drizzle, winds strengthening in the north—west of scotland but further south across wales and central and southern england quite a widespread frost, lows potential of —5 or —6 and of the high pressure but the frontal system from the north—west making for some more turbulent weather particularly in parts of scotland. fog could again be a problem tomorrow morning across the midlands, wales, towards the south of england, some a dense and slow to clear but across england and wales we should see sunshine but for northern ireland and scotland more cloud and rain to the far north—west,
1:58 pm
winds strengthening, gusts up to 75 possible in parts of north—west scotland, temperature could be between 7—10 but under the fog in the south that could stay colder than that. the weather front sinking south and east during wednesday into thursday will weaken, just some cloud and the far southeast on thursday morning but winter showers in the north of scotland, much of the snow on high ground, rain and sleet to lower levels and wintry showers fading, dry weather through thursday, highs of 8—9 but a change to the end of the week, high—pressure building to the south, frontal system pushing from the north—west and this will bring more of a westerly wind feeling milder of a westerly wind feeding milder air across the uk, high on friday and northern ireland and scotland, highs of maybe 12—13.
