this is bbc news. the headlines — more than five thousand people are known to have died in the earthquakes which struck turkey and syria, as rescuers desperately dig through rubble to find survivors. the former met police officer, david carrick, one of the uk's most prolific sex offenders, is sentenced to a minimum of 30 years injail. the met commissioner described carrick as evil and promised reform. he should not have been a police officer. there were many signs that we should have joined together. he should have been rooted out as his career as a police officer. a 45—year—old man is found guilty of the manslaughter by gross negligence of his daughter. 16—year—old kaylea was morbidly

obese when she died at the family home in october 2020. and bp announces record profits of £23 billion, more than double that of the year before. and, the great british fighting plane, one of the most famous from world war two, known as the mosquito, could soon fly again in the uk thanks to a group of volunteers. good afternoon, and welcome to bbc news. more than five thousand people are now known to have died 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
5:02 pm
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 the epicentre of the quakes. with more, 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.
5:03 pm
adding to the difficulty of the rescue operations is the cold weather and winter storms. on top of this, many people have nowhere 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 now appealing for rapid action by the international community. it is now a race against time. every minute, every hour that passes, the chances of finding survivors alive diminishes. there are already 5,000 people confirmed dead. the world health organization has estimated up to 3 million people could potentially be affected
5:04 pm
by this disaster, including 5 million vulnerable people. translation: we are sitting here in the cold and rain, - just waiting for the rescuers to start digging here. translation: i slept in the car, helping my children would get i out of the building. i had seven children under the rubble —— offers of aid are coming from around the world, including many charities and voluntary organisations. but one veteran british aid worker on his way to help said the dangers have not yet passed. they can expect this to go on for weeks, if not a month. that will be the challenge for the rescue efforts and also for the local population, every time they galvanise to go back to their houses, there is another aftershock, so people will become fixed in what will become camps of internally displaced person
5:05 pm
so they will need shelter, water, food at some point and those rescued will need medical support. amongst the thousands of buildings which have been destroyed are of buildings which have been businesses, schools and hospitals, as well as homes. this fire in the turkish port of iskenderun is thought to be another impact of the earthquake. all operations that have come to a halt. aid agencies have reported that the devastation is so widespread that it will take time to assess the damage and ascertain the true scale of the help needed. richard galpin, bbc news. our middle east correspondent, tom bateman, spoke to us from the city of iskerandumn, in southern turkey. i was just talking to a family who are unable to go to there. very badly damaged building here. and they told me that they have four friends missing in that building,
5:06 pm
and one confirmed dead. but the big problem for them —ant this is a grandmother with children and young grandchildren. she said that there had been virtually no aid at all apart from a small, private group that was able to bring some bread and tomatoes this morning. we also saw a small child handing outjumpers and trainers to people, but it was creating a very desperate scene. and the other thing to point out about this town is the way that this has become a series of disasters on top of each other. not only do you have many collapsed buildings, but you can see behind me here, this huge plume of smoke rising onto the taurus mountains over there, and this is from a port fire. the fire started in containers — we drove past it, they look like gas containers — that began as the earthquake struck, so a whole series of problems, and no apparent delivery of any form of aid here so far.
5:07 pm
all of this while president erdogan declares a state of emergency in ten provinces, including this one. tom bateman reporting from southern turkey. hello. thanks for joining hello. thanks forjoining us. can you tell me how your programmes on the ground and projects have been affected by the earthquake? good evening. thank you for having us. our problems and projects were affected especially because our partner was seriously affected in this. some people or some employees are still missing. they are searching for their families. are still missing. they are searching for theirfamilies. so, searching for their families. so, definitely searching for theirfamilies. so, definitely now we are calling for our volunteers in syria to be on the
5:08 pm
ground and to help us who are doing a quick need assessment. so now we need to change the priorities of our programming and now extends to respond to this emergency, to this devastating situation, to assess the needs. i know we don't have the full picture right now because it's early to assess what is needed, everything thatis to assess what is needed, everything that is needed. but we can say that people on the ground, they need shelter, they need food, they need warm close. they need also heating, also due to the cold weather, the freezing weather and the really harsh situation there. so we are trying to assess the need, but i can say that yesterday from the uk action aid launched an appeal to fund raise. we gathered so far
5:09 pm
nearly £60,000, which is a very good number. this is a good indicator that people are willing to help and people are willing to save lives. and the tragedy on top of the tragedy is that the people that you have been working with, subpoena, are poor people, women and girls who live in abject conditions anyway. and what's happened is now over the last couple of days is going to make that situation all the more horrible. that situation all the more horrible-— that situation all the more horrible. ., . ~ , ., horrible. correct. as you have mentioned. — horrible. correct. as you have mentioned, the _ horrible. correct. as you have mentioned, the people - horrible. correct. as you have mentioned, the people we . horrible. correct. as you have| mentioned, the people we are horrible. correct. as you have - mentioned, the people we are working with, they have been through a series of disasters and emergencies. many of them were displaced many times in syria to turkey. so it's really devastating. our work from our prior work and emergencies like nepal or other places in the world, we know that always women and girls of the more vulnerable, are mostly
5:10 pm
affected by crisis, emergencies, or conflict. and they are always left behind because their major needs are not taken into consideration, are not taken into consideration, are not a priority in emergencies. so now, it's a government emergency, it's a crisis, we need to double the effort to get help to people in different contexts where we are operating. different contexts where we are oeratinu. ~ , , ., ., ., operating. why is it that women and uirls are operating. why is it that women and girls are more _ operating. why is it that women and girls are more vulnerable _ operating. why is it that women and girls are more vulnerable after - operating. why is it that women and girls are more vulnerable after a - girls are more vulnerable after a disaster like this? i girls are more vulnerable after a disaster like this?— disaster like this? i can tell you series of evidence. _ disaster like this? i can tell you series of evidence. first, - disaster like this? i can tell you series of evidence. first, from | disaster like this? i can tell you i series of evidence. first, from our previous work, we noticed this through our work on the ground, they are more affected by disasters and emergencies. second, also, we did a study on the ground with a lot of
5:11 pm
women that are refugees. apparently, all their needs are not any more priority and emergencies. also, i can tell you this because also we were on the ground and the response, because we also operate in lebanon, so always the women are more vulnerable also to violence in crisis. they are more vulnerable after. we have thousands of stories to tell about this topic from our experience on the ground. we leave ou there. experience on the ground. we leave you there. thank _ experience on the ground. we leave you there. thank you _ experience on the ground. we leave you there. thank you so _ experience on the ground. we leave you there. thank you so much - experience on the ground. we leave you there. thank you so much for i you there. thank you so much for joining us. the former metropolitan police officer and serial rapist, david carrick, has been told he'll serve a minimum of 30 years in prison. carrick had pleaded guilty to carrying out dozens of sex attacks on women, including 2a counts of rape while he was a serving officer.
5:12 pm
his victims spoke of how they had "encountered evil". at his sentencing hearing at southwark crown court, mrsjustice cheema—grubb said he'd preyed on his victims over a period of two decades, in a brazen breach of trust for a police officer. our correspondent, helena wilkinson is live outside the court. well it's been another day here at court where there has been very harrowing and graphic detail given in the sentencing remarks by the judge. david carriker, one of the uk's most prolific sex offenders, a former metropolitan police officer, but he was an officer at the time he carried out the most horrific offences against 12 women. some of his victims were in court today to see the man who had committed these offences sentenced in court today. in some of her sentencing remarks, thejudge said that
5:13 pm
in some of her sentencing remarks, the judge said that david has had a spectacular downfall for a man who should have been upholding the law. she also said that he brazenly raped and sexually assaulted some women he barely knew. he thought he was untouchable, thejudge barely knew. he thought he was untouchable, the judge said, barely knew. he thought he was untouchable, thejudge said, and she also went on to say for nearly two decades, you, to david, were proved right. she reminded him of the oath that he had taken when he became a police officer, and also the court heard that he began his offending very soon after he became a police constable. she also recounted some of the crimes that he had committed against the victims, including one incident where he held a black handgun to one of his victims, he tried to stop her from leaving handgun to one of his victims, he tried to stop herfrom leaving his house. the victim didn't know at the time whether that handgun was real or not, but she was frozen in fear. we also heard that he falsely imprisoned one of his victims multiple times in an cupboard in his
5:14 pm
home. he forced her in there and he kept her in there, and she was stripped naked every time he did so. when she eventually did get to the end of her sentencing remarks, she asked david to stand. she handed down that sentence of 36 life sentences, but told him he would not be considered for parole for at least 30 years. your offending was over 17 years and encompassed 12 victims. moreover, the singular element which elevates your offending as a brutal serial rapist into that company is the principal aggravating feature of the explicit or implicit use of your occupation to entice, reassure or intimidate your victims. i have to bear in mind that my function is to impose appropriate punishment, and when that is served, the parole board will decide how to protect the public thereafter. decades will have passed
5:15 pm
before that time comes. some victims were in court to see him being punished. after the sentencing, the commissioner said that they could have done more to stop carrick. we that they could have done more to step carrick-— stop carrick. we of failed. he should have _ stop carrick. we of failed. he should have been _ stop carrick. we of failed. he should have been looked i stop carrick. we of failed. he should have been looked at l stop carrick. we of failed. he | should have been looked at as stop carrick. we of failed. he i should have been looked at as a police officer. there were many signs that we should have joined together. it's upsetting to be stood here talking about this, and i apologise again to the victims. and indeed i apologise for the women of london, many who i am sure will be troubled and their trust in police will be shaken by these events. we
5:16 pm
recognise that police officers that we have a big task again if we are to regain that trust. i have thousands of collies, men and women who really care about policing london and recognise that challenge and what needs to be done. i have been really clear from day one that one of the challenges for me was to root out those that corrupt the integrity of the metropolitan police, and this case illustrates that challenge.— police, and this case illustrates that challenge. you heard they are from the commissioner _ that challenge. you heard they are from the commissioner of - that challenge. you heard they are from the commissioner of the i from the commissioner of the metropolitan police. clearly they have a huge amount of work to do to regain trust. we know in the coming weeks they will say more about the work that they are doing. but yesterday and today here at suffolk crown court, not only has it been about the punishment for david
5:17 pm
carrick, a former metropolitan police officer, a serial rapist, but also for his victims to have a voice in court, to tell the court about the damage and destruction that this man has caused them rishi sunak has announced a mini—resuffle of his cabinet. grant shapps is now secretary of the 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 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 at the treasury. but elsewhere in whitehall, departments are being rewired and rebadged. things to do here...
5:18 pm
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 within rishi sunak�*s party. the former culture secretary, michelle donelan, will now lead another new department — forscience, 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. lucy frazer enters the cabinet as culture secretary, leading a department which has now lost its responsibility
5:19 pm
for digital, technology. nearly four months into the job rishi sunak is trying to rework the government around his priorities. not by hiring and firing a crop of new cabinet ministers — following the turmoil of last year, the prime minister has decided to tinker with structures instead. but after he sacked the former tory chairman, nadhim zahawi, last month, he has also 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 most definitely 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 rejig 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.

news, mold crown court. senior investigating officerjonathan rees said the case was a tragedy. the condition in which he was found indicate neglect over a long period of time, both environmentally and physically. along with medical, dental, and environmental experts. this resulted in haley's parents being charged with growth negligence manslaughter. kaylea's mother sarah lloyd—jones pleaded guilty to this charge in december 2022. after a three—week trial, today at mould crown court, kaylea's father, alun titford, was found guilty of gross negligence manslaughter.
5:25 pm
the circumstances of kaylea's death are tragic. this investigation has been extensive and at times harrowing, given kaylea's age and the conditions in which she was living. yet my officers and partners have worked diligently and professionally throughout. a bit of breaking news before we go on. more strikes are on their way. the uk civil student student, they have announced an escalation of strike action. with around 100,000 members to walk out. that is on march the 15th. so, a little over five weeks from now. the uk civil service union pcs has announced a strike action. some of their members have already been out at the picket lines, but this is now an escalation because around 100,000 are to walk
5:26 pm
out on march the 15th. any more than that, we will bring it to you. bp has become the latest energy giant to report record annual profits. the company made 23 billion pounds last year, more than double the amount in 2021, due in part to the surge in oil and gas prices caused by the war in ukraine. our business editor, simonjack, is here. well, it's not unexpected. we saw from shell last week that they had the highest profits in their history, and bp today announced similarly, these are the highest profits they ever made in their history at £23 billion for 2022, as you say, fuelled by those soaring oil and gas prices. now, one of the key questions people have is like big profits, how much tax are they paying here in the uk, for example? well, they paid £1.8 billion in uk tax and that doesn't seem that high, but bear in mind, 90% of its profits are made outside the uk and we now
5:27 pm
have total taxes on oil and gas of 75% after those windfall taxes, one of the highest tax rates in the world, although they can offset that against new investments and decommissioning old oil rigs. but as you said in your introduction, one of the eye catching things about their release today was that it was slightly scaling back their target of reducing oil and gas production. they had said they were going to have 40% less oil and gas production by 2030. a new target today of 25% less oil and gas production because they're saying the demand is out there for oil and gas. this war has exposed how reliant we still are on oil and gas. so they're going to keep... they're going to invest a bit more, keep existing oil and gas assets open for longer, which means their oil and gas production by 2030 will fall by less than originally thought. one other sobering message they had today is that gas prices in particular, which have fuelled a lot of the cost of living crisis, won't go back to pre—covid, pre russian war levels till the middle of the next decade, till 2035. so, although they have been falling and we expect them to fall during this year, we're not going to get back to what we were used
5:28 pm
to for another decade or so. we've got much more news coming up. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben. hello. we have some fog around this morning but much of that cleared. we actually got to see some sunshine. that was the scene as the day ended there. you can see the early fog in there. you can see the early fog in the south which did eventually clear for the most part. this band of cloud has been affecting northern island, southern scotland. we will keep cloud as we had to the night and at the same time the fog starts to fall with temperatures dropping widely below freezing across the southern half of the uk, —5 or six in the countryside. could be dense, could be quite widespread but it should clear to give sunny spells for england and wales. for northern island in scotland, a totally

when the cd appeared, though, it looked like the end of records. but, decades later, scratch that! this is a third record fair at a theatre in newport and 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 because they are so much older and you get more vintage stuff. there's something nice about owning a record and it does sound lovely. last year we bought £115 million worth of old—style albums as sales in the uk increased by 11%. we are getting a lot more young people coming in now. but all ages, people buying back their record collections that they got rid of and then moved to cd, through to young people buying their first. and, with superstar artist like harry styles and taylor swift also promoting their albums on vinyl, sales have been rocketing. you can really see the shift in demographics that — buying into and enjoying vinyl. you get to have a tangible piece
