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.

welcome. more now on monday's devastating earthquake, the biggest in the region since 1939. it's killed over 7,000 people. the border area between turkey and syria is one of the world's most seismically active regions. 0ur correspondent quentin sommerville has travelled to antakya, close to the border with syria, that's been hit by aftershocks. with pickaxe and hammer, determination and hope, they dig for lost relatives in antakya. this backbreaking work falls to these men. their city and country are overwhelmed, and the lives of those trapped in here depend on them.

this was a sixth floor apartment block. families on every floor. ten minutes ago, theyjust heard a voice, so they're digging to try and get to whoever it 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's barely a corner of the city of 500,000 people that hasn't been churned up and torn apart by the earthquakes. antakya's devastation is near total. this is the scene

all across antakya. it's notjust individual buildings that have come 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, listening out for survivors. but they know that it will soon be 48 hours since the first earthquake struck, and every minute that goes by, every hour that passes, lessens their chances of finding survivors here. and the people here know it. "you won't return to help," this woman shouts at the police. "you're lying. "i don't accept you abandoning us." this man tells me, "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. this man hasjust been rescued. translation: 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. quit in somerville, bbc news, in southern turkey. quentin somerville, bbc news, 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's 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 i 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's had many years of doing what he shouldn't be doing. he's a monster, and now he needs to pay. he's 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's 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've 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 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 uncle's wife. six members of his family, the oldest his grandmother six members of his family — the eldest, his grandmother, in her 90s, the youngest is his nephew, just nine.

is his nephew, just nine — all, he says, trapped under the rubble. and this, they're 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'sjust the idea of, i mean, this six of them, the whole entire family right now, it's just really difficult to take. are you still hopeful? no. but britain's turkish communities are mobilising. nearby in north london, they're packing our bags they're packing up bags of donations, warm clothes 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're going out to match what they see has been said, what's available, what's 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. but on the ground, as the search for survivors continues, the full scale of the help that's needed is only becoming more apparent by the hour. john still to come — we'll be taking a look at how years of political and military conflict have impacted the rescue effort in syria. 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. believed to have been 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. this is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur lead story... rescue teams are continuing to work into the night, searching for survivors of yesterday's earthquakes in turkey and syria, now known to have killed more than 7000 people. let's turn to the situation in northern syria now, where the rescue and aid effort is being hampered by the impact of years of military and political conflict. the area affected by the quake is controlled by multiple groups.

the syrian government administers the purple section, orange is syrian rebels, the red parts in the north are controlled by the turkish military and affiliated rebels, and the green section is run by kurdish—led forces. 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 syrian sovereignty and reducing its chances of winning back control of the region. a un humanitarian agency spokesman called for politics to be put to one side. it is imperative that everybody sees this for what it is — 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 need it. and here's afshin shahi, a middle eastern studies lecturer. the political dynamics continue to be at the very situation. you only have to imagine when there is an earthquake of this magnitude, you need a lot of access, a lot of dynamics, a lot of account of the people getting involved and other countries, international organisations getting involved to be able to provide some support and some help. but this area is basically affected with a lot of political conflicts. now international organisations are complaining they don't have access. here's our diplomatic correspondent, james landale. part of the territory's - controlled by the government, part of it is held by the rebels, parts of it are almost - ungoverned space with competing militias vying for power. - so that means it's hard to get aid

in, to get information _ so that means it's hard to get aid in, to get information out, - forjournalists to get in on the ground. i there was one route - in for aid from the north. that's controlled by the syrians . and the russians, so i think there will be no pressure growing to say those need to open up. _ so, there's a big question with all of this — - how much aid is the international. community prepared to offer syria? at the moment, more is going to turkey. - and secondly, how much aid - will the syrian government allow in the areas they considered to be held by rebel territory? _ natasha hall from the centre for strategic and international studies told me more about the diplomatic challenges. 0ne one of the most critical issues right now is that there is an enclave in northwestern syria that's been very heavily hit, and it is incredibly dependent on turkey for aid. a lot of those roads are badly damaged due to the earthquake, but also, turkey suffers 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 fleeing across borders, now those hospitals are filled with their own casualties. at the same time, a lot of aid that population depends on is really cut off at the moment due to logistical issues. but there are burgeoning political issues at play here, too, because both government of serious controlled areas and turkish controlled areas and turkish controlled areas and turkish controlled areas will need the supplies —— syria controlled. further down the supply chain, they might become victim to those kinds of politics and internal dynamics. if you've got turkey and its own turmoil, what other countries then can help get the needs to those part of northern syria were is so difficult? who do you even begin to

talk to in order to get access? is that the assad regime? the predominance _ that the assad regime? the predominance of _ that the assad regime? tue: predominance of age that the assad regime? tte: predominance of age comes —— aid comes from northern syria. you mentioned that the un is only allowed to deliver through a crossing that is currently closed, but it's really necessary for the international community to put pressure on the turkish government and 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 and in some cases, the roads are so badly damaged that there's no way to get through. but there are other roads that could be possible and could begin to see aid getting through. that said, there hasn't been much of a response on the international side in order to prioritise and have the pressure to get this aid through to that

vulnerable community in northwest syria. 0n the syrian government side, they have said that they would co—ordinate aid throughout all areas of control in syria. there are very issues with so—called crossline aid to opposition controlled, both political, logistical. but the matter remains that there are roads that can be used from turkey and there are ways to get that aid in it, and we should be using those to get unimpeded, life—saving aid in right now. get unimpeded, life-saving aid in riaht now. . ., , ., get unimpeded, life-saving aid in riaht now. . ., ., more now on the earthquake in turkey and among the desperate race to rescue as many people as possible is a need for answers. the country's citizens are criticizing the government for not learning from the devastating i999 izmit earthquake, which claimed over 18,000 lives. this was mainly due to the collapse of residential buildings, sparking public outcry against private contractors — some of who were criminally

prosecuted, but very few were found guilty. in these recent days, the public sentiment is that despite the government cracking down on rogue contractors, sub—standard housing has still been built over the years to no consequences for companies. this is what i heard from the head of civil and urinary... here's what i heard from ayhan irfanoglu, head of civil engineering at purdue university in indiana. i think the lessons, checking for compliance on the municipalities... the code _ compliance on the municipalities... the code is— compliance on the municipalities... the code is there and it is a good one, _ the code is there and it is a good one, but enforcing it is an issue. it's a _ one, but enforcing it is an issue. it's a very— one, but enforcing it is an issue. it's a very local level issue. if the design does not get built, you end up with a vulnerable structure. when _ end up with a vulnerable structure. when you — end up with a vulnerable structure. when you see the levels of devastation, these were two very

same on wednesday, but mainly in the south of the uk, where we have the influence of this area of high suppressor. this weather front pushing in from the northwest and ahead of it, lots of isobars in the chart. but with light winds further south, we will see some fog patches, perhaps a little more widespread than on tuesday morning and some of the fog could be slow to clear. across england and wales, we should see spells of sunshine. northern ireland and scotland seymour �*s cloud. some rain in scotland and very strong and gusty �*s wounds of perhaps 75 mph. —— gusty winds. temperatures generally between 7—10 degrees, but it may stakeholder if you keep fog with you for any length of time. as we head through wednesday night, we see the band of rain, maybe snow over higher ground on the back edge, and that will push its way southwards and eastwards.

that weather front weakening, running into an area of high pressure. wintry showers developing across scotland, especially over some of the hills and mountains, but in shetland especially, could see snow from low levels to a time. showers tending to ease, still quite windy across the north. further south, spells of sunshine and highs of 8 or 9 degrees. area of high pressure builds across the south as we move into friday. this next frontal system running across the north, this will deliver winds from the atlantic. quite a mild direction, so temperatures will tend to rise. 0n direction, so temperatures will tend to rise. on friday, we see cloud and some outbreaks of rain across parts of scotland. the far north seems of heavy rain, patchy rain perhaps into northern ireland and england, best of the further south. 9 degrees for cardiff, maybe 12 or 13 in aberdeen. at into the weekend, this area of high pressure will still be close

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. the frantic search for survivors in turkey and syria continues — as the death toll from monday's earthquake reaches seven thousand. but the humanitarian routes into north west syria are impassable, in rebel held areas they are largely digging with their hands. rishi sunak shakes up the cabinet — new roles and new departments reflecting the prime ministers priorities on energy and science and the energy giant bp, says is reversing some of its earlier plans to cut oil and gas output — after announcing record profits. tonight with the context, the former labour mp and cabinet minister caroline flint and the republican lanhee chen, formerly policy director for
