more this is outside source. the frantic search for survivors in turkey and syria continues — as the death toll from monday's earthquake passes six thousand. every minute, every hour that passes, the chances of finding survivors alive diminishes. turkey declares a state of emergency across a large part of the country — where thousands of buildings have collapsed. and a desperate situation in syria, where earthquake damage to roads complicates the delivery of aid. rescue workers in both countries head into their second night of freezing weather and heavy snow.

we'll be speaking to a disaster response expert live in the programme. the desperate search for survivors is continuing for a second night across a vast area of southern turkey and northern syria after two major earthquakes devastated the region on monday. at least six thousand people are known to have died, but with so many feared trapped under the rubble, the death toll will climb further. we'll be talking to an aid worker on the ground and will look at the scale of the devastation in just a moment. but first lets go through what happened. the first earthquake on sunday had a magnitude of 7.8, the epicentre was in turkey's gaziantep province. there have been almost 30 other shocks in the region, all powerful enough to magnify the damage. a second major earthquake struck

130km north of the first. rescue efforts continue across the region. this is the scene live. this is gaziantep, this is the live shot, it's just after ten in the evening locally. it's expected rescuers will work throughout the night. there have been some scenes where people have been saved. there have been some scenes where people have been saved. this little girl was carried to safety from a collapsed building, very close to the epicentre of the quake. this is the city of adana, where hundreds are involved in the rescue effort. they have the help of machinery in this area, but in parts of the city people are resorting to using buckets to clear the rubble. this is a ten story building behind

me, what's happening at the moment is this is a very rare event compared to what's happening across the region. we've got two diggers here clearing the rubble away from the edge of here clearing the rubble away from the edge of theirs. here clearing the rubble away from the edge of theirs. and here clearing the rubble away from the edge of theirs. and on here clearing the rubble away from the edge of theirs. and on top here clearing the rubble away from the edge of theirs. and on top of the edge of theirs. and on top of the writers, i am counting at least six recovery and rescue workers. they are now listing parts of the rubble. it's incredibly precarious work. the rubble is very dangerous and of course the concerns about whether or not there are people still alive under the record year. earlier, the director of the world health organization spoke about the severity of the situation across both regions. it is now a race against time. every minute, every hour that passes, the chances of

finding survivors alive diminishes. many have been forced to abandon their homes due to the high risk of damage and injury. this is footage that was filmed earlier today. this is filmed by a drone and it surrounds 100 km from the epicentre of monday's 7.8 magnitude tremor. several tremors with a magnitude between 11.2 and 4.8 have several tremors with a magnitude between 4.2 and 4.8 have been felt in the area. you can just simply see many of the buildings which are still standing are actually leaning really dangerously and obviously there are concerns that they will topple, that they will fall. starting from places close to the disaster area, the necessary plans are being made to prepare hotels which have already closed due to the

winter season to host disaster victims. 50,000 beds have been prepared for this purpose in the region alone. divert vessels to other ports. what's here from our middle east correspondent who here's our middle east correspondent anna foster in kharamanmaras — one of the hardest hit areas in the country — just a short while ago. you see the devastation increase. when i arrived here over 24 hours ago to the city, there were a collapsed building. you could see rescue efforts going on. as you get closer it's no longer about individual buildings. it is about whole streets. if you picture eight, nine, ten buildings all collapsed in a row, the debris mixed together, it

is astonishing. that is replicated across what is a big city here. even moving around is hard because so many of those buildings have collapsed into the street and block the road. also when you look around you notice the buildings that are still standard but are clearly unstable. some are sagging in the middle. some are at a perilous angle. that's why so many of those buildings are empty tonight. people don't want to go into them because they know that there is no guarantee of their safety. people preferring to sleep out on the streets. let's have a look at the forces which caused the strongest earthquake in the century. one of the worlds most seasonably active regions is because turkey sits on the fault line with three tectonic plates come together. the arabian plate is constantly pushing into the eurasian plate which squeezes this one. this is the

anatolian plate. it's to the west. it's moving around two cm everywhere. where the plates grind past each other more fault lines are created, leading to the earthquake that we saw on monday. now let's look at the countries around the world which have mobilized rapidly to send aid. they include major economies such as the us and china but also some almost 40000 people have alreadyjoined the rescue effort in turkey, with personnel arriving from sixty—five countries. these are images of a 78—strong rescue team preparing to leave from california, bound for turkey. the group consists of rescue specialists, firefighters, paramedics, doctors, structural engineers and rescue dogs. here's the los angeles county fire chief, anthony marrone:

this team is highly skilled and elite in urban search and rescue, and especially trained to assist in rescue efforts, especially after earthquakes like the one thatjust struck southeast turkey. china says it's allocated almost 60—million dollars�* worth of aid to support rescue efforts in turkey. its first civilian rescue team — including eight rescue experts — is on its way from hangzhou city, with life—searching instruments and a dog. here's a ministry of foreign affairs spokesperson: mao ning, spokeswoman, ministry of foreign affairs: "the chinese government has immediately activated the emergency humanitarian aid system. china will provide a first tranche of 5.9 million dollars in emergency aid to turkey. this includes sending urban rescue teams with heavy equipment, medical teams, and providing much—needed relief supplies. we are coordinating the delivery of vital relief material to syria and accelerating the implementation

of ongoing food aid projects." so we have heard from the us, china, now to the uk. british aid has already been sent to turkey. imilli now to the uk. british aid has already been sent to turkey. will be earthquakes — already been sent to turkey. will be earthquakes that _ already been sent to turkey. will be earthquakes that we _ already been sent to turkey. will be earthquakes that we have _ already been sent to turkey. will be earthquakes that we have seen - already been sent to turkey. will bej earthquakes that we have seen have impacted both turkey and syria at a scale that we have not seen for quite some time. when i heard about it earlier this morning i immediately contacted them to express our condolences and to give an offer of assistance. among those watching the aid arrive today has been majel wilson, from global empowerment mission europe. shejoins us live. she joins us live. welcome. shejoins us live. welcome. now she joins us live. welcome. now you have been in turkey, for at least 12 hours now. you been tweeting about theirs. give us an indication of what you saw when you first arrived

locals are strange. yesterday people were in their houses, on their decks, hanging around, but today those buildings are taped off. you see cracks or structural damage and the city is blocking them off, those people are evacuating and it's just adding more to the humanitarian crisis that is going to get more severe as time was on.- crisis that is going to get more severe as time was on. ma'or wilson from the mission h severe as time was on. ma'or wilson from the mission there _ severe as time was on. major wilson from the mission there emergency i from the mission there emergency relief organisation on nonprofit organisation. you will be spending a lot of time they are not part of turkey. thank you for your time. the situation in southern turkey there. let's turn to northern syria now where the death toll has risen to at least 1,602, with about 3,500 injured. while rescue teams and aid supplies are arriving in turkey, the un says the flow of aid to syria has been halted, due to badly damaged roads and other logistical problems caused by the earthquakes. efforts are also being hampered by the impact of years of conflict.

some of the territory is in rebel hands, outside the control of president assad's government forces. and in those areas the conflict has destroyed basic facilities, including hospitals. here is the head of his limits relief office.— here is the head of his limits relief office. ., ., u, ., relief office. the death toll cannot be as dictated, _ relief office. the death toll cannot be as dictated, because _ relief office. the death toll cannot be as dictated, because we - relief office. the death toll cannot be as dictated, because we have l relief office. the death toll cannot. be as dictated, because we have so many people still under rubble and everybody trying their best to rescue these are still under rubble people. huge buildings have destroyed whole areas, and entire area, for example a refugee camp —— totally destroyed. 50 area, for example a refugee camp -- totally destroyed.— totally destroyed. so the situation the are totally destroyed. so the situation they are on _ totally destroyed. so the situation they are on the — totally destroyed. so the situation they are on the ground _ totally destroyed. so the situation they are on the ground in - totally destroyed. so the situation | they are on the ground in northern syria. let's have a look at the extent of the damage and syria across that part. today's rescue

operations. as you can see, rescue teams were able to pull out of the young girl alive from the rubble. let's turn to this video. this was filmed by the white helmets rescue group and it shows a family including a small child. they were trapped on the third floor when the building partially collapsed. the rescue teams are able to use ladders to bring them to safety, but it's almost after 24 hours after that first earthquake. the extent of the destruction in the city. one of the many locations were rescue crews are still searching for survivors. but the white helmets say that they are simply struggling to cope with the rescue efforts. these are images that were filmed by drones. the uses in the opposition held area, which if we turn to those it shows comparatively few people are available to help. it's notjust a

lack of people. these are the drone images as you can see, very few people are able to help. things like missing essential machinery and supplies in order to help the red cross are really concerned about that. ., ., , ., ., ., that. the authorities do not have enough machinery, _ that. the authorities do not have enough machinery, and - that. the authorities do not have l enough machinery, and machinery that. the authorities do not have - enough machinery, and machinery has to be rented from the sector. there is a severe lack of fuel over syria and this is hampered the operation and this is hampered the operation and emergency services. 50 and this is hampered the operation and emergency services.— and this is hampered the operation and emergency services. so 'ust the sheer logistical * and emergency services. so 'ust the sheer logistical problems h and emergency services. so just the sheer logistical problems they - and emergency services. so just the sheer logistical problems they are. l sheer logistical problems they are. now this deadly earthquake also hit hard in those areas the house millions of more displaced syrians. we are talking about the biggest number of refugees. for instance, look to northwest and the

surrounding areas. the population has increased because of the displaced people, because of the war, because of the conflict by fourfold. now, there is about 4 million, and most of them are internally displaced people who have been just running for their lives. so let's turn to i'm joined now by himedan mohammed, who's head of syria programmes for medecins sans frontieres. we have been hearing the complications of rescue operations that you are trying to conduct. not only do we have ongoing civil war they are but you have millions of people who have been displaced. what do you focus on, what is your priority or? this do you focus on, what is your priority or?— do you focus on, what is your riori or? ~ , ., ., ., ., priority or? as you all are aware, in all aspeets _ priority or? as you all are aware, in all aspects for _ priority or? as you all are aware, in all aspects for now _ priority or? as you all are aware, in all aspects for now in - priority or? as you all are aware, in all aspects for now in north i in all aspects for now in north syria, ourfocus in all aspects for now in north syria, our focus will be mainly on

medical support. and then, mental health and also there is a gap in sanitation and shelters. we owe so do shelters for now. there are more than 600 families who are receiving shelters and we are moving on, we have blankets for the hospitals. but our focus remains on have blankets for the hospitals. but ourfocus remains on medical, that's the main focus for now. so our focus remains on medical, that's the main focus for now.— the main focus for now. so the focus is on medical — the main focus for now. so the focus is on medical supplies. _ the main focus for now. so the focus is on medical supplies. but - the main focus for now. so the focus is on medical supplies. but in - the main focus for now. so the focus is on medical supplies. but in terms| is on medical supplies. but in terms of getting those medical supplies to the worst affected areas, practically, how do you do that? we have practically, how do you do that? - have emergency stops in the northwest, and we are readily mobilising that one. the challenge for now, we need to replenish the stock already used. so the main

are susceptible to hypothermia, frostbite or even freezing to death. and some of those left homeless by the quake have nowhere to shelter from the cold. this family's only protection from the heavy snow is to wait by this bonfire — let's hear from them. translation: my in-laws grandchildren are in there. we have been here for two days. we are devastated. when it comes to the state, they say the state is here. but where is the state? where have they been for two days? we are begging them, let us do it. we can rescue them. if they can't do it, for god sake let us do it. and this is catherine smallwood from the world health organization. operating an extremely complex environment where access to areas that have been affected is very difficult. we are cut off, slid through the middle in certain places. the winter conditions are driving snow, wind, and really hampering the response efforts. so we really don't know what the overall cost to human life will be in the longer—term.

as we've mentioned — the rescue situation in syria to give you one example — during the conflict, hospitals were a regular target — this is a statement from the syrian american medical society: "our hospitals are overwhelmed with patients filling the hallways." let's hear from the world health organization on that. at least 23 million people are exposed to the effects of these earthquakes in both countries. that's just a preliminary assessment. we are mapping all the help facilities affected and their damage, theirfunctionality, and the information we are getting is that many hospitals just do not have what they need to function, simple things like power, like fuel, and of course we don't know the numbers of health workers who have been affected. but when i can tell you is every health worker who can help us out there helping right now.—

worker who can help us out there helping right now. let's speak now to david alexander. _ let's speak to david alexander — he's professor of emergency planning and management at ucl. it's just such a huge task where to begin? it'sjust such a huge task where to be . in? ~ , it'sjust such a huge task where to beuin? ~ , ., it'sjust such a huge task where to be. in? . , ., ., it'sjust such a huge task where to beiin? . , ., ., .," begin? well it is going to take time to mobilise. so _ begin? well it is going to take time to mobilise. so although _ begin? well it is going to take time to mobilise. so although people . to mobilise. so although people might be angry about help doesn't arrive immediately, it's a vast area. simply getting there, simply mobilising, the vast amounts of equipment, supplies, personnel, and so on does take time. unfortunately it is very difficult to rescue people alive in the later stages of this emergency. , the period is probably little more than 12 hours after the tremors and the collapse of buildings for rescuing people from under the rubble, after which

survival chances declined very rapidly, more so if a person is injured, the type of injuries, for example if they have had injuries or are losing blood. they are probably unlikely to last more than a day or a day and a half. uninjured people might last for two weeks, but probably not in this climate. also, it's a mountainous area. a 7.8 earthquake followed by 7.5 can probably cause something like 20,000 landslidesjudging by previous landslides judging by previous events. landslidesjudging by previous events. some of those may damage buildings, roads, bridges and everything else. it is buildings, roads, bridges and everything else.— buildings, roads, bridges and everything else. it is a very bleak icture everything else. it is a very bleak picture that _ everything else. it is a very bleak picture that you _ everything else. it is a very bleak picture that you paint. _ everything else. it is a very bleak picture that you paint. we - everything else. it is a very bleak picture that you paint. we see i everything else. it is a very bleak| picture that you paint. we see the rescue operators working still throughout the night. not far from the epicentre itself. if you would, once your they are, how do you take stock? how do you assess? where you go to first?

parts of england into wales. that's where we'll see the lowest of the temperatures, maybe down to minus five or minus six celsius in places and some dense fog patches to start tomorrow morning, some of which could be quite slow to clear. and i think the fog is likely to be a little more widespread tomorrow morning than it was this morning. but much of it will clear through the day to leave sunny skies across england and wales, more cloud for northern ireland and particularly the western side of scotland. the winds really picking up here. we will see wind gusts of 70 or 75 miles per hour in exposed parts of northwest scotland. and this band of heavy rain starting to work its way in around the middle parts of the afternoon. temperatures generally between seven and ten degrees. and then into the evening, this rain bands journey southwards and eastwards on the back edge. we could well see some snow mixing in over higher ground in scotland, but as this band of rain gets down into england and wales, it will really start to weaken. it is running into an area of high pressure, so it's going to lose a lot of its energy. not much more than a band of cloud,

really, across the south of england as we start thursday morning. that tending to clear, then some sunny spells but some wintry showers, particularly in scotland. in shetland, we could see snow to quite low levels for a time. further south across scotland, the snow mainly over the hills, temperatures seven, eight or nine degrees. but those temperatures are set to climb for the end of the week. high pressure building to the south, this frontal system running into the northwest. and this sets up a west or south—westerly flow of winds bringing some milder air in our direction. the highest temperatures on friday likely to be across the northern half of the uk, parts of eastern scotland, maybe up to 12 or 13 degrees, but milder for all of us as we head into the weekend, largely dry with some mist and fog in the south.

hello, i'm kasia madera. this is outside source. the frantic search for survivors in turkey and syria continues — as the death toll from monday's earthquake passes 6000. every minutes, every hour that passes, the chances of finding survivors alive diminishes. turkey declares a state of emergency across a large part of the country — where thousands of buildings have collapsed. and a desperate situation in syria — where earthquake damage to roads complicates the delivery of aid. and in both countries —

the freezing weather and heavy snow hamper rescue efforts. more now on monday's devastating earthquake, the biggest in the region since 1939. the border area between turkey and syria is one of the world's most seismically active regions. our correspondent quentin sommerville has travelled to antakya, close to the border with syria, that's been hit by aftershocks. done with pickax and hammer, determination and hope they dig for lost relatives in antakya. this backbreaking work falls to these men. the city and their country are overwhelmed and the lives of those trapped in here depend on them. this was a six floor apartment block. families on every floor.

ten minutes ago, we just held a voice. so they're digging to try and get to whoever is buried deep inside all of this. they can see a man and a child trapped inside. again, they hear something. so they call for silence. and they wait. they dig more carefully now. but they're too late. both are already dead. with so many still trapped, there's barely time for grief here. so what happens now? we are going to find the live ones. we will look for them. there is barely a corner of this city of half a million people that hasn't been churned up and torn apart by the earthquakes. the devastation is near—total. this is the scene all across antakya. it's notjust individual buildings

that have come down, it's entire city blocks. and there are groups of men on top of most of these piles of rubble listening carefully and listening out for survivors. but they know that it will soon be 40 hours since the first earthquake struck. and every minute that goes by, every hour that passes lessens the chances of finding survivors here. and the people here know it soon. you won't return to help this woman shouts at the police. you're lying. i don't accept you abandoning us. i've been here since yesterday. i'm begging for help. most of his family were inside the building. he heard cries. but now there's only silence and loss. still, they find survivors, but they are few. dervis has just been rescued. i was 36 hours underground. i'd lost all hope, he tells me. corpses litter every pavement.

here in a city where time is running out for the living, the dead must wait. quentin sommerville, bbc news, antakya in southern turkey. in other news now: one of the uk's most prolific sex offenders, the former metropolitan police officer, david carrick, has been given 36 life sentences — and told he will serve a minimum term of 32 years. he'd pleaded guilty to 85 offences, including dozens of rapes, against 12 victims while serving as a met officer. june kelly reports. what is it you're searching for? articles relating to the offences. david carrick, the long—serving police officer, finally where he should be, under arrest. there is no necessity. yes, there is. even here, the master manipulator was trying to take control... i've only been a police officer for 20 years.

..stressing his years in the service. this was 2021, after one of the women he attacked reported him. today david carrick was given a minimum jail term of 32 years. 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. in the dock, carrick showed no reaction. some of his victims were sitting behind him, and one, a fellow met officer, told us she was relieved at the length of the sentence. he has had many years of doing what he shouldn't be doing. he is a monster, and now he needs to pay. he is an ex police officer, which, in prison, is not something you want to be. and if he ever does come out, he will come out as an old man.

from her boss, the new met commissioner, there was this. we had opportunities where warning signs were seen by the met, reports, allegations, and we didn't follow through on those, and that is why he was still a police officer when he shouldn't have been. so we have to repair the systemic failings. who do we report to when the rapists are police? the commissioner acknowledged that some women's trust in the police had been profoundly shaken. this was a protest outside court today. it was his local force in hertfordshire which brought david carrick to justice. we have had further women come forward with all the publicity with the case, and we're looking into those matters. i have absolutely no doubt that david carrick has committed further offences. within hours of carrick�*s sentencing, the attorney general�*s office confirmed that it would consider whether the case should go to the court of appeal, following complaints that the sentence should following complaints have been longer. the women david carrick once controlled have now taken

control of his future. with their terrible testimonies, they put him behind bars and stopped the rapist in uniform from harming any more women. june kelly, bbc news, southwark crown court. now let's return to the devastating earthquake in turkey and syria. here in the uk people have been waiting anxiously for news of relatives, as specialist rescue teams start to make their way to the disaster zone as part of an international aid effort. jon donnison has been to meet families from turkish communities. mustafa is losing hope. ali my uncle, my uncles wife. six members of his family, the oldest his grandmother in her 90's, the youngest is his nephew, just nine. all, he says trapped under the rubble.

and this, they are stuck underneath this? they were asleep in this building when the earthquake struck. along with his niece, all they can do is wait for news. it isjust the idea of, i mean, this six of them, entire family right now, it is just really difficult to take. are you still hopeful? but britain's turkish communities are mobilising. nearby in north london, they are packing our bags of donations, warm close to be flown out. in stockport, these are all medical kits ready to be dispatched by the front line aid charity, uk med, which has already sent a team to turkey.

they are matching what they see has been said, what is available, what is needed or isn't, they will send that back to us and we will get the green light to then dispatch all of the kits and items out there that they need, as well as more people to start setting up an operation to support those who have been affected. underground, as the search for survivors continues, the full scale of the help needed is only becoming more apparent by the hour. joining me now is the chair of the british turkish association, atilla ustun. you must be inundated with people who are anchors anxious and concerned and don't know what to do? hello, yes. absolutely. ithink

concerned and don't know what to do? hello, yes. absolutely. i think from day one. this is our second day here at our local sector. in newton. the lead the are still working on a sunday morning. we have been overwhelmed but at the same an amazing community get—together. when people contact you. what kind of things are you hearing westmark obviously, offers of donation and help and time. i guess a lot of concern about not hearing from family members back in the area. yet, absolutely. we do have, especially in london and north london there are concerns for family members of there. there is a very large area of the two major cities that were affected who are very

large turkish community in london. here in newton we still have families. we know one or two families. we know one or two families are still trying to get a hold of their relatives. at this moment, it looks a little bit dire. it looks absolutely grim. you state that you have had it not of donation so far. you sent those through trucks. what happens? how do you even get them loaded up and get them to where they need to go? it is not an easyjourney. it is to where they need to go? it is not an easyjourney— an easy “ourney. it is not really. i think an easy journey. it is not really. i think the easiest _ an easy journey. it is not really. i think the easiest part _ an easy journey. it is not really. i think the easiest part is - an easy journey. it is not really. i think the easiest part is the - think the easiest part is the actual people being amazing. communities being amazing and getting together and within even just one hour of us publicising yesterday afternoon after we had certain meetings on how we would mobilise on what was actually needed. we had contacts from turkey and from here. it was

reallyjust in one hour things started to come in. what we are looking for at the moment because of where it is, the weather there seems to get harsher every day. we had overwhelming donations of close, medical stuff and children wear. but overwhelming people who volunteered to start these out and put these in sort of containers and boxes which can safely take the journey on. second orjust for people who work feeling hopeless. where are you located? it feeling hopeless. where are you located? , ., , feeling hopeless. where are you located? ., feeling hopeless. where are you located? , ., , ., ., located? it is actually all over the uk. i located? it is actually all over the uk- i think _ located? it is actually all over the uk. | think all — located? it is actually all over the uk. | think all of _ located? it is actually all over the uk. | think all of that _ located? it is actually all over the uk. i think all of that turkish - uk. i think all of that turkish centres around london and outside of london. lieutenant, lester going up

to newcastle. they are all taking in whatever they can. i think the other thing is that we are getting a little bit overwhelmed of all the donations that are coming in, because we are not questioning it all the actual intentions of people bringing donations. i think it is very difficult for communities to actually have take that logistically to where it needs to go. we finished here about three or four in the morning and got three loaded trucks. so, in a sense it is it monetary donations that are the most helpful, are they question mark absolutely. i'm not saying whatever it donations we get aren't important but at this moment in time i think monetary

donations are the priority. we hear you. thank you atilla thank you for your time. and good luck withjust getting on top of all the donations and as he said money is what they really need. stair was us an outside source we will look at the question surrounded berlin support in syria and turkey will be talking with the turkish engineer. police believe that emma pattison, the head teacher of a private school here in the uk was shot dead by her husband , who also killed their young daughter , and took his own life. here's our special correspondent lucy manning. emma pattison, an inspirational headteacher and educator, shaping the lives of thousands of students. yet position and accomplishments no protection — at the top of her profession in one of the country's leading schools,

and yet, another victim of male domestic violence. shot dead by her husband george, who also killed their daughter, seven—year—old lettie. who knows what her life achievements would have been? we now know a lot more about what happened here. late on saturday night, emma pattison called a relative in distress, but by the time they arrived, the family were already dead. george pattison owned a gun, licensed and registered, and that licence was rechecked over the phone by surrey police just three days before the family were killed. because the pattisons had moved into a new house at the school, the gun license had to be updated. the police watchdog is now investigating. in a recent interview with her pupils, she spoke about some of the challenges her family faced.

it has been a big change, we have had to move house, we bought a dog, my husband is a newjob which wasn't meant to happen but did. tonight, epsom college announced the school would shut for the rest of the week after they learned the incredibly distressing details of how mrs pattison died. a mother and her daughter, both with so much still to give, taken from them. lucy manning, bbc news. we are going that's the main story that we have been following here in the uk. that is the situation

ongoing in terms of what is happening in turkey and syria. because the devastation that has been created by monday's earthquake is, as we know, i difficult situation for people on the ground. we also know that when it comes to syria itself, the situation across the north of the country is extremely complicated given the ongoing conflict, the civil war taking place there. rescue and aid efforts are being hampered by years of conflict. the areas affected by the quake control by multiple groups. you can see there the purpose section the are section by syrian rebels the red parts the turkish military and the green section by the kurdish led forces. very complicated situation across

the country that is in a civil war. the bab al—hawa crossing is the only un—approved crossing to bring aid from turkey to syria, but it's not functioning because of earthquake damage. the government in damascus has been resistant to opening up aid into northern areas because it regards the aid as undermining a un humanitarian agency spokesman called for politics to be put to one side. it is imperative that everybody sees this as a humanitarian crisis where lives are at stake. please don't politicise any of this. let's get the aid out to the people who so desperately needed.

the political dynamics continue to be very situation. you only have to imagine that, of course, when there is an earthquake of this magnitude, you need a lot of access, you need a lot of dynamism, you need a lot of kind of the people getting involved, a lot of countries, international organisation getting involved to be able to provide some support and some help. but this area is basically affected with a lot of political complexities. now, international organisations are complaining they don't have a thorough access. the speak with natasha hall and a touch on the company gets a grouping of who controls which part of syria. yet the turkish military kurdish led forces syrian rebels. all control and parts of that area where it is,

there needs to be accessed. how do you work on that diplomatically in order to get aid to the people who needed? ., ., , needed? one of the most critical issues right _ needed? one of the most critical issues right now _ needed? one of the most critical issues right now is _ needed? one of the most critical issues right now is that - needed? one of the most critical issues right now is that there - needed? one of the most critical issues right now is that there an | issues right now is that there an enclave in northwestern syria which has been heavily hit and it is incredibly dependent on turkey for cross—border aid, as you mentioned. right now, a lot of those roads are badly damaged due to the earthquake but also turkey is suffering from its own crisis at the moment. at one point, when turkey might have been a refuge for those fleeing air strikes from the syrian regime and russian governments, and fleeing across borders to receive medical care in turkish hospitals. now those turkish hospitals are filled with their own casualties. at the same time, a lot of that. that population depends on is cut off at the moment to logistical issues. there are

burgeoning political issues at play here too, because the government controlled areas under turkish areas will needs the supplies as well. so, are there areas down the supply chain might become victim to those kinds of politics and internal dynamics. ii kinds of politics and internal dynamics-— kinds of politics and internal d namics. . ~' , kinds of politics and internal d namics. ., ~ , , dynamics. if you have turkey in its own turmoil _ dynamics. if you have turkey in its own turmoil and _ dynamics. if you have turkey in its own turmoil and in _ dynamics. if you have turkey in its own turmoil and in desperate - dynamics. if you have turkey in its l own turmoil and in desperate need. what other countries, then, can help get the need to parts of northern syria where it is so difficult? who do you even begin to talk to in order to get access? is it the assad regime? in order to get access? is it the assad re i ime? . ., , order to get access? is it the assad reiime? ., ., , regime? in the case of northwestern s ria, the regime? in the case of northwestern syria, the producers _ regime? in the case of northwestern syria, the producers of— regime? in the case of northwestern| syria, the producers of predominance of aid come through northwestern syria through various crossings. you mentioned that the un is only able to deliver it through one crossing which is currently closed. it is necessary for the international community to put pressure on the

turkish government and also the international community to prioritise the opening of these routes so that aid can actually get into northwest syria. at the moment, a lot of these crossings are closed. in some cases, the roads are so badly damage there is no way to get through. there are other possible roads and could could be needed to see aid to get through. that being said, there hasn't been much response on the international side to prioritise and have the political pressure to get this eight through two that vulnerable community in northwest syria. on the syrian government side, they have said that they would co—ordinate aid through all areas controlled and syria. there issues with crossline aid or aid from government controlled areas to opposition controlled both political and logistical. the matter

remains there are roads that can be used from turkey and are ways to get the aid in and we should use those to get unimpeded life—saving aid in right now. we to get unimpeded life-saving aid in riiht now. ~ ., ., ., right now. we will leave it on that note natasha. _ right now. we will leave it on that note natasha. thank _ right now. we will leave it on that note natasha. thank you. - right now. we will leave it on that note natasha. thank you. we - right now. we will leave it on that i note natasha. thank you. we touch upon turkey, of course. it's experiencing its devastation there. the desperate race continues to find as many people as possible but also to find answers. some people are criticising the government from failing to learn from the previous huge earthquake in 1989 which was many due to the collapse of buildings. contractors were charged but very few found guilty. and now there are questions about housing in recent years.

here's ayhan irfanoglu, head of civil engineering at purdue university in indiana. what lessons were missed? what lessons with with coding and enforcing these were an issue is a local issue. whatever you design does not get built properly and you end up with a vulnerable structure. when you see the levels of devastation. these were two very strong quakes. would you have expected more resilience from the building structure had those lessons been learned from the 1999 earthquake?— been learned from the 1999 eartthake? . , ., been learned from the 1999 eartthake? . , . ., earthquake? certainly, at least far awa from earthquake? certainly, at least far away from the _ earthquake? certainly, at least far away from the epicentre, - earthquake? certainly, at least far away from the epicentre, the - earthquake? certainly, at least far| away from the epicentre, the heavy ground motion sites we would have expected better performance. the ground motions we have seen are really at the high end of the

outside source. good evening. it was southern parts of the uk that mainly saw the fog this morning and southern parts of the uk are likely to see fog again tomorrow morning. visibility reducing as we go through the night with some patches of dense fog and a touch of frost. because this area of high pressure is in charge and the winds are very light. further north and west, the winds are quite a bit stronger. all the extra isa bells there on the chart. those winds actually strengthening through the night across parts of northern ireland and northwest scotland. that should prevent much in the way of fog. a lot of cloud, too, across northern ireland, the far north west of england and southern scotland, but further south across central and southern parts of england into wales. that's where we'll see the lowest of the temperatures, maybe down to minus five or minus six celsius in places and some dense fog patches to start tomorrow morning, some of which could be quite slow to clear. and i think the fog is likely to be a little more widespread tomorrow morning than it was this morning. but much of it will clear through the day to leave sunny skies

across england and wales, more cloud for northern ireland and particularly the western side of scotland. the winds really picking up here will see wind gusts of 70 or 75 miles per hour in exposed parts of northwest scotland. and this band of heavy rain starting to work its way in around the middle parts of the afternoon. temperatures generally between seven and ten degrees. and then into the evening, this rain bands journey southwards and east was on the back edge. we could well see some snow mixing in over higher ground in scotland, but as this band of rain gets down into england and wales, it will really start to weaken. it is running into an area of high pressure, so it's going to lose a lot of its energy. not much more than a band of cloud, really, across the south of england as we start thursday morning. that tending to clear then some sunny spells but some wintry showers, particularly in scotland. in shetland, we could see snow to quite low levels for a time. further south across scotland, the snow mainly over the hills, temperatures seven, eight or nine degrees. but those temperatures are set to climb for the end of the week. high pressure building to the south, this frontal system running into the northwest.

and this sets up a west or south—westerly flow of winds bringing some milder air in our direction. the highest temperatures on friday likely to be across the northern half of the uk, parts of eastern scotland, maybe up to 12 or 13 degrees, but milder for all of us as we head into the weekend, largely dry with some mist and fog in the south.

hello, i'm kasia madera. this is outside source. the frantic search for survivors in turkey and syria continues — as the death toll from monday's earthquake passes six thousand. every minute, every hour that passes, the chances of finding survivors alive diminishes. turkey declares a state of emergency across a large part of the country — where thousands of buildings have collapsed. and a desperate situation in syria — where earthquake damage to roads complicates the delivery of aid.

and in both countries — the freezing weather and heavy snow hamper rescue efforts. the desperate search for survivors is continuing for a second night across a vast area of southern turkey and northern syria after two major earthquakes devastated the region on monday. at least six thousand people are known to have died, but with so many feared trapped under the rubble, the death toll will climb further. we'll be talking to an aid worker on the ground and will look at the scale of the devastation in a moment. but first let's just recap what has happened. the first earthquake on sunday had a magnitude of 7.8, the epicentre

was in turkey's gazian—tep province. there have been almost 30 other shocks in the region, all powerful enough to magnify the damage. a second major earthquake struck 130km north of the first. rescue efforts continue across the region. this is the scene live in gaziantep, where it's just after ten in the evening locally. many rescuers are expected to work through the night. there have been some this little girl was carried to safety from a collapsed building, very close to the epicentre of the quake. this is the city of adana, where hundreds are involved in the rescue effort. they have the help of machinery, but in parts of the city people are resorting to using buckets to clear the rubble. our correspondent tom bateman has been in adana: let's stay in adana where our middle east correspondent tom bateman was earlier today with an update from the site we just showed you.

this is a ten story building behind me which came down due to the quick. what is happening at the moment is a very rare event happening across this region. to hear clearing the rubble away from this in the top of the wreckage and around six rescue workers trying to lift up parts of the rubble but it is precarious work because the rubble is very dangerous and of course, the concerns about whether or not there are people still alive under the wreckage here and the side street here and i was just speaking to quite a few people wrapped in blankets that have been up wrapped in blankets that have been up all night and some of them evacuated from this building and other smothered buildings in this area. one of the women here that's

just chatting to, a daughter was in this building, the last she knew she was under the second floor and what she was telling me was a rescue workers are down to the six floor and she was on the second floor and there's been absolutely no word. her mother has been up on night, waiting to hear anything but nothing at all and she was telling me how she is trying to tell her own grandchildren about what is happening. the women trapped in this building and two daughters in germany, visiting them for the next few days and having conversations and no word whatsoever. the scenes being replicated across this region. the scenes replicated across the region. earlier the director—general of the world health organisation spoke about the severity of the situation across both regions. it is now a race against time. every

minute, every hour that passes, the chances of finding survivors alive diminishes. many have been forced to abandon their homes, due to the high risk of further damage and injury. this was filmed earlier today by a drone in hat—eye province. it's around a hundred kilometres from the epicentre of monday's 7.8 magnitude tremor. there've been several tremors with a magnitude of between four point two and four point 8 in the area since then. as you can see, many of those buildings which are still standing are leaning dangerously and could fall. turkey's president, reccep tayyip erdogan, addressed the need for urgent housing for those who've lost their homes. starting from places close to the

disaster area, the necessary plans are being made to prepare hotels which have already closed due to the winter season, does the victims. bets had been prepared for this and italian region alone. the quakes have brought other hazards too. this is a port fire at iskenderun which has shut down operations and forced freight liners to divert vessels to other ports. here's our middle east correspondent anna foster in kharamanmaras — one of the hardest hit areas of the country — just a short while ago. well, as you get closer and closer to the epicentre to where we are now, the worst affected area, you see the devastation increase and when i arrived here over 24 hours ago and collapsed buildings and efforts going on and as you get closer and closer, it's no longer about individual buildings, it is about individual buildings, it is about the whole streets when i got there earlier, if you picture eight,

nine, ten buildings all collapsed in a row, the debris mixed together, it is astonishing and that is replicated across what is a big city here, even moving around is hard because so many of those buildings have collapsed into the streets and blocked the road and also when you look around, you notice the buildings that are still standing but are clearly unstable. some are sagging in the middle and some run a peerless angle and that is why so many of those buildings are empty tonight. people do not want to go into them because they know there is no guarantee of their safety. let's take a closer look at the forces which caused the the most powerful earthquake to hit turkey in almost a century. the epicentre was 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 2 cm every year. where the plates grind past each other, more faultlines are created, leading to the earthquake we saw on monday. now, let's look at the countries around the world which have mobilised rapidly to send aid. they include major economies such as the us and china but also some less obvious donor nations. almost fourteen—thousand people have alreadyjoined the rescue effort in turkey with personnel arriving from 65 countries. these are images of a 78—strong rescue team preparing to leave california, bound for turkey. the group consists of rescue specialists, firefighters, paramedics, doctors, structural engineers and rescue dogs. here's the los angeles county fire chief, anthony marrone:

this team is highly skilled and elite in urban search and rescue and specially trained to assist and rescue efforts, especially after earthquakes like the one thatjust struck central and southeast turkey. china says it's allocated almost 60—million dollars�* worth of aid to support rescue efforts in turkey. it's first civilian rescue team — including eight rescue experts — is on its way from hangzhou city, with life—searching instruments and a dog. here's a ministry of foreign affairs spokesperson: the chinese government has immediately activated the emergency humanitarian aid system. china will provide a first tranche of 5.9 million dollars in emergency aid to turkey. this includes sending urban rescue teams with heavy equipment, medical teams, and providing much—needed relief supplies. we are coordinating the delivery of vital relief material to syria and accelerating the implementation of ongoing food aid projects. the uk foreign secretary, james cleverly, says british aid has

already been sent to turkey. he also says he was taken aback by the scale of the devastation caused by the earthquakes. well, the earthquakes that we have seen have impacted both turkey and syria at a scale that we've not seen for quite some time. when i heard about earlier this morning, i immediately contacted my turkish opposite number to express our condolences and to give an offer of assistance. among those watching the aid arrive today has been majel wilson, an aid worker for the non—profit emergency relief organisation, the global empowerment mission. i spoke to her a little earlier. what ijust noticed was the busy airport— what ijust noticed was the busy airport of— what ijust noticed was the busy airport of locals trying to leave and as — airport of locals trying to leave and as soon as you get into the city centre _ and as soon as you get into the city centre which — and as soon as you get into the city centre which is not far from the airport. — centre which is not far from the airport. the _ centre which is not far from the airport, the most notable sites where — airport, the most notable sites where the collapsed buildings in the massive _ where the collapsed buildings in the massive teams looking to help people

he adds that i can only begin to imagine the skill of suffering and loss as a result of these dreadful tragedies and particularly wants to here in the uk people have been waiting anxiously for news of relatives, as specialist rescue teams start to make their way to the disaster zone as part of an international aid effort. let's speak now to nilufer atalay, one of the founders of the turkey mozaik foundation charity here in london. inundated with lots of help, warm clothes, blankets and can you pinpoint exactly what it is that you need? we basically need the community to raise awareness element

of the impact of these earthquakes we had yesterday. the team we need is basically supporting rescue efforts and then, we will need support and longer—term support to build back better and ten cities that have been impacted in a devastatingly by this earthquake and there will be a lot of need to build things better in the long term. people that are contacting you are really concerned having not heard from their families and loved really concerned having not heard from theirfamilies and loved ones, what is the first thing that you guys do, do you bring in a call centre, do you man the phones, how does it work? the centre, do you man the phones, how does it work?— centre, do you man the phones, how does it work? the foundation, we are here at the uk _ does it work? the foundation, we are here at the uk charity _ does it work? the foundation, we are here at the uk charity and _ does it work? the foundation, we are

basically for the rescue efforts. the first 72 hours of extreme critical and the really on the rest of the effort and so organisations are supporting the rescue and providing food and also to match urgent need for those who are able to help. so, any help we can get from the international community to be able to help us provide financial support that is needed on the ground. support that is needed on the iround. �* , ., support that is needed on the iround. . i. ., ground. and you mentioned the organisations _ ground. and you mentioned the organisations on _ ground. and you mentioned the organisations on the _ ground. and you mentioned the organisations on the ground, i ground. and you mentioned the - organisations on the ground, we are running out of time. how much communication do you have for them because the region and the infrastructure seems completely destroyed and i miscommunication do you have for the guys on the ground? it is not easy because yesterday, people on the ground were impacted tjy people on the ground were impacted by the aftershock and the devastation of the earthquakes and local workers were also very much

impact as well. but we do have the expertise and contact of local organisations staff the know—how from previous earthquakes and emergency campaigns as well and we have charities that we work with that of the know—how and communication channels that are very much open and are able to receive updates about what is needed the most and where and we are working hard to ensure that the support that we are getting is the best way possible but is extremely hard in the freezing weather conditions don't help either.— don't help either. absolutely devastating _ don't help either. absolutely devastating conditions - don't help either. absolutely devastating conditions but i don't help either. absolutely i devastating conditions but that grassroots knowledge is critical. from the foundation charity, we wish you the best of luck with your work. stay with us on outside source — still to come. we take a look at the extent of the damage in syria —

a country already devastated by conflict. there's mr mandela, mr nelson mandela, a free man taking his first steps into the new south africa. iran's spiritual leader, ayatollah khomeini, has said he has passed a death sentence on salman rushdie, the british author of a book which many muslims say is blasphemous. the people of haiti have flocked to church to give thanks for the ousting of their former president baby doc duvalier. because of his considerable value as a stallion, shergar was kept in a special secure box in the stud farm's central block. shergar was driven away in a horse box the thieves had brought with them. there stepped down from the plane a figure in mourning, elizabeth ii, queen of this realm and of all her other

realms and territories, head of the commonwealth, defender of the faith. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is. now, let's turn to countries sending help to syria. russia — one of the syrian government's main allies — has sent aid and more than 50 rescuers to the country, including three dog crews to help search for those trapped. this is a humanitarian aid shipment from iran, being loaded in tehran bound for syria, including medicine, tents and food. it's been a similar picture in baghdad, after iraq announced the establishment of an air bridge to both syria and turkey, to send urgent relief aid, including medical and relief supplies, and fuel. including medical and relief now, the aid arriving in syria will be deployed in government held areas.

here's the head of islamic relief�*s office in idlib, northwest syria. the death toll cannot be estimated because we have so many people still under the rubbles, and everybody trying his best to rescue the still under rubble people. huge people, huge buildings destroyed, an entire area... for example, at a refugee camp between the north and idlib, totally destroyed. i spoke to himedan mohammed, head of syria programmes for medecins sans frontieres, about the difficulties they're facing in syria.

our focus will be mainly on medical support and mental health and also the sanitation centres. and today, we have more than 600, 600 families already receiving shelters we are moving on and we have hospitals. but her focus remains on moving on and we have hospitals. but herfocus remains on medical matters or main focus for now. in her focus remains on medical matters or main focus for now.— or main focus for now. in terms of eittiin or main focus for now. in terms of getting those _ or main focus for now. in terms of getting those medical _ or main focus for now. in terms of getting those medical supplies - or main focus for now. in terms of getting those medical supplies to | getting those medical supplies to the worst affected areas, how practical do you do that? yes, we have emergency _ practical do you do that? yes, we have emergency stock— practical do you do that? yes, we have emergency stock inside - practical do you do that? yes, we have emergency stock inside of. have emergency stock inside of northwest and we mobilise that one and we use that on the challenger now and we need also to replenish that and will use that over the

project stock in the main issues and emergency orders we have to get inside but we are using the current stock that we have. so inside but we are using the current stock that we have.— stock that we have. so their operations _ stock that we have. so their operations across _ stock that we have. so their operations across the - stock that we have. so their i operations across the northern syria, let's have a look at some of the other rescue operations taking place across syria. the images you're going to see next, you may find difficult to watch. let's be honest about this. in the town ofjindires, rescue teams pulled a young girl out alive from the rubble. this video was filmed by the white helmets rescue group. it shows a family, including a small child, trapped on the third floor of their partially collapsed apartment block. the rescue teams are able to use ladders to bring them to safety — almost twenty hours

after the first earthquake. you can see the extent of the destruction in the city of azaz, one of the many locations where rescue crews are still searching for survivors. but the white helmets says it is struggling to cope with the rescue effort. this footage, filmed by drone in the opposition—held area of idlib, shows how comparatively few people are available to help. and it's notjust a lack of people — the red cross says they're missing essential machinery and supplies. we are hampered by lack of heavy equipment to move to paris and not enough machinery from the private sector. this is a severe lack of fuel and operations and heavy machinery transporting personnel and emergency ambulance services. the deadly earthquake also hit hard in areas that house millions of war—displaced syrianshere's bbc arabic�*s murad shishani. s we're talking about the biggest number of refugees and people

looking to northwest and surrounding areas in the population is increased because of the displaced people because of the displaced people because of the war and because of the conflict by four faults. and they were thinking about 1 the conflict by four faults. and they were thinking about1 million population, now there's about 4 million in most of them are internally displaced people who've been just running for their lives. let's focus now on some of the key challenges facing the rescue effort — which many are characterising as a race against the clock. one key issue is the snowy weather and the freezing conditions. survivors trapped under collapsed buildings like this one in turkey are susceptible to hypothermia, frostbite or freezing to death. and some of those left homeless by the quake have nowhere to shelter from the cold. this family's only protection from the heavy snow as they wait is this bonfire — let's hear from them. so how do you manage a disaster of this scale? i spoke to david alexander about this — he's professor of emergency planning and management at university college london here in the uk.

it takes time to mobilise and destroyed and damaged infrastructure and simply getting there and simply mobilising and bringing the vast amounts equipment and personnel it does take time. unfortunately, it is very difficult to rescue people alive in the later stages of this emergency. in fact, the golden period is probably little more than 12 hours after the tremors in the collapse of the buildings for rescuing people from under the rubble after which survival chances decline very rapidly more so if a person is injured according to the type of injuries and if they have head injuries or losing blood, they probably are unlikely to have a day or day and a half. uninjured people may last for two weeks were probably not in this climate.

the freezing weather is co—ordinates a difficult situation with very unstable buildings and lots more on our website but for me and the team, thank you for watching outside source. good evening. it was southern parts of the uk that mainly saw the fog this morning and southern parts of the uk are likely to see fog again tomorrow morning. visibility reducing as we go through the night with some patches of dense fog and a touch of frost. because this area of high pressure is in charge and the winds are very light. further north and west, the winds are quite a bit stronger. all the extra isobars there on the chart. those winds actually strengthening through the night across parts of northern ireland and northwest scotland. that should prevent much in the way of fog. a lot of cloud, too, across northern ireland, the far north west of england and southern scotland, but further south across central and southern parts of england into wales.

that's where we'll see the lowest of the temperatures, maybe down to —5 or —6 celsius in places and some dense fog patches to start tomorrow morning, some of which could be quite slow to clear. and i think the fog is likely to be a little more widespread tomorrow morning than it was this morning. but much of it will clear through the day to leave sunny skies across england and wales, more cloud for northern ireland and particularly the western side of scotland. the winds really picking up here, we'll see wind gusts of 70 or 75 mph in exposed parts of northwest scotland. and this band of heavy rain starting to work its way in around the middle parts of the afternoon. temperatures generally between 7—10 degrees. and then into the evening, this rain bands journey southwards and east was on the back edge. we could well see some snow mixing in over higher ground in scotland, but as this band of rain gets down into england and wales, it will really start to weaken. it is running into an area of high pressure, so it's going to lose a lot of its energy. not much more than a band of cloud,

really, across the south of england as we start thursday morning. that tending to clear then some sunny spells but some wintry showers, particularly in scotland. in shetland, we could see snow to quite low levels for a time. further south across scotland, the snow mainly over the hills, temperatures 7, 8 or 9 degrees. but those temperatures are set to climb for the end of the week. high pressure building to the south, this frontal system running into the northwest. and this sets up a west or south—westerly flow of winds bringing some milder air in our direction. the highest temperatures on friday likely to be across the northern half of the uk, parts of eastern scotland, maybe up to 12 or 13 degrees, but milder for all of us as we head into the weekend, largely dry with some mist and fog in the south.

hello, i'm kasia madera. this is outside source. the frantic search for survivors in turkey and syria continues, as the death toll from monday's earthquake passes 7,000. every minute, every hour that passes, the chances of finding survivors alive diminishes. turkey declares a state of emergency across a large part of the country, where thousands of buildings have collapsed. and a desperate situation in syria, where earthquake damage to roads complicates the delivery of aid. and in both countries, the freezing weather and heavy snow hamper rescue efforts.
