sporting event of the year. super bowl 57 takes place in arizona in just a few hours�* time. hello and welcome to the programme. the number of dead from the earthquakes in turkey and syria is now more than 30,000 — but remarkably, almost a week on, survivors are still being pulled from the rubble. united nations aid vehicles have now begun arriving in syria, but the head of the un's relief mission, says many people mission says many people have a right to feel abandoned. part of the problem is that rebel groups still control parts of the northwest, following years of civil war.

0ur middle east correspondent, quentin sommerville, and cameraman robbie wright, sent us their report from inside, the rebel—held area. a border and a catastrophe shared, but in the earthquake�*s aftermath, syria and turkey couldn't be further apart. we've just crossed into syria at the border crossing. there were about a dozen aid trucks, fuel tankers coming in, but actually, there were more refugees, more corpses coming out than there was aid coming in. the main street in idlib�*s harem is gone. they waited for help here, but none came. it was here that fadel ghadab�*s aunt and cousins�* families all died. translation: there is no one alive here. | everyone is dead. wejust need them to come in and dig the bodies up for burial. i don't know what else to say. we travel further west.

there are no aid convoys here, few signs of relief, but a lot of urgent need. this was the town of besania. these were people's homes. they were newly built. but look at it now. 80% of this village is gone, and they've had hardly any help since the earthquake struck. more than 100 homes have gone here, and much more besides. abu ala lost two of his children. translation: i started running like a madman in the streets, i shouting, "dear god." it was then that i saw my wife and seven—year—old daughter alive. i kept on running in the streets until i saw them. she told me my children were gone. islamists are in control here. we were accompanied at all times by armed men who didn't interfere with our work, but it's made getting aid

here more difficult. at this hospital, they have no time for politics. with few staff, they've had to treat over 350 earthquake victims. there's not enough medical staffl to help people in normal situation without any catastrophe, without any earthquake, | without any bombs, without any war. there's not enough medical staff. down the hallway lies mohammed, just three months old. his parents were killed by the earthquake. he was found in the street by a neighbour. mohammed is all alone, and syria, too, again feels forsaken, disregarded by the world in another hour of need. quentin somerville, bbc news, idlib. meanwhile, in turkey, there continue to be remarkable stories of survival almost a week after the quakes.

this is the moment a 64—year—old woman is pulled from the rubble in the hatay province. she'd been trapped for 150 hours. her son, here in the red jacket, is by her side. 0ur correspondent nick beake has travelled from gaziantep to one community, shattered by the disaster. we're venturing into turkey's remote mountain side. but it all looks so familiar, because village after village bear the same scars. we decide to stop at a place called urdek and find the dead now outnumber the living here. it's a tiny part of a wider tragedy in which we don't expect to meet mehmet and fatma from north london. which one is your house here? this one. they were visiting here when the earthquake struck. seven members of their

family were killed. tried to save them. ali shouting here, "save me, save me, which saved ali. but shamsi, kamal, aisha... we shout they name, they not answer. no answer, nothing. but shamsi, kamal, aisha... no answer, nothing. we shout they name, they not answer. they say they want to show us exactly where each life ended, including the youngest — asrah, just two years old, her cousin aisha, 16, and amad effa, who was looking forward to celebrating his fifth birthday. they were running, they were playing. but after that, we see body. and the face looking in my eyes and there is already two days passed... he sobs.

they've buried 35 people in this small village — more than half of those who are living here. it's actually quite hard to take all of this in. a whole community, totally flattened. but it's the scale of this disaster that's so shocking, because this village could be one of so many here in turkey or in syria. and a week on, after these earthquakes, the challenge of starting to rebuild is becoming clearer. and it's absolutely massive. i don't know how many people is left now. and for fatma, she can't bear the thought of leaving turkey like this and trying to resume life in the uk. how can i do it? i don't know. in london?

nick beake, bbc news, in the village of urdek. jens laerke is the deputy spokesperson for the united nations office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs. he spoke to us earlier and gave us an overview of the latest situation in the earthquake zone. well, the latest is that the death toll keeps rising, tragically. once in a while, we hear of live rescues — that is, of course, encouraging — but we do believe we are at the end of that phase and at the beginning of the much longer humanitarian relief phase that must kick in. so, there's a lot of noise, there's a lot of people in the departure area. a lot of people are trying to get out. they have had their homes destroyed. some buildings that you will see around the city are still standing. they are so full of cracks

moment, so they're a dangerous place to be. i've been here a couple of days now with the emergency relief coordinator, martin griffiths. yesterday, we went to the epicentre of this absolutely catastrophic crisis. that city is... the destruction is indescribable. but also, we saw a valiant and heroic effort of both the turkish rescue teams, the international search and rescue teams that are there, helping to get people out of the rubble. i was in the border area today with mr griffiths. he made the statement that he certainly feels the pain of the millions of people inside idlib. he was very clear the world has failed them up to now —

that must change. those are his words, and he's working very hard to change those are his priorities, and he's working very hard to change that on the diplomatic front, but also to get more aid into the area. that border crossing uis the only border crossing that is authorised that border crossing is the only border crossing that is authorised by the security council to enter northwest syria from turkey. trucks were rolling past with aid of different kinds. it's an operation that has been scaling up in the last days. there was a brief pause because of the earthquake. look, everybody we spoke to, including our own staff, everyone has a story to tell about where they were at 4am that morning, when the world shook, and they have testimonies themselves about loved ones lost, about loved ones who are lost, family members are still missing and so on and so forth. so, this earthquake has

certainly hit everyone. some breaking news from the united states. it is concerning those objects flying across the canadian and us airspace. we're hearing via reuters news agency that the us military has shut down a flying object near the us, canada border. this has been confirmed by two us officials speaking under the condition of anonymity. so, another object has been shot down over lake who near the us canada border. representative jack bergman tweeted more information — saying the military has "decomissioned" an unidentified object over the lake.

you'll remember that canada currently looking for the object that was shot down from there airspace on saturday as well. this is the fourth such object to be shot down by us and canadian... forces. you are watching bbc news. now to ukraine, where the head of the notorious wagner mercenary army says his fighters have captured a village on the northern outskirts of bakhmut, a city in the donbas. it's been at the centre of months of bitterfighting between russian and ukrainian forces. wagner's commander posted a short video apparently showing the wagner men at the entrance sign to the village of krasna hora. one month ago, he claimed his men had taken the nearby

town of soledar. the ukrainian army haven't confirmed wagner's advance. for a comment on that, we spoke to the military analyst michael mackay. he started by giving us his take on the russian claim of being advancing in bakhmut. it is true that they are at the outskirts of krasna hora, i think it is true that they are at the outskirts of krasna hora, but this is nothing new. they've been there for, i would say, about a week, so i think taking a picture in front of the entrance sign is not significant. the russians have been making incremental advances at great costs in that area. so, i think this is true, that they are at the outskirts, so, i think this is true that they are at the outskirts, but not significant. how strategic is bakhmut to donbas and to president putin? he's putting a lot of

resources into this battle. why does it matter? it doesn't matter militarily, it's just a step along the way to putin's stated goal of occupying all of donetsk region. but in itself, the city is of no military significance. i think it has come to have a political significance, just because the investment, the loss of life and equipment has been so enormous, that the russians cannot face the possibility that it will ultimately end in failure. when we talk about losses, just how badly our russian forces being hit and why? is this coming from battle, is this coming from a lack of resources or conditions on the ground? it's coming from mostly battle and extremely poor tactics by the russians.

they are launching large infantry assault with very poor support — no air support, poor armoured support — and they're using soldiers who are recent conscripts and prisoners overwhelmingly. and the reason it's increased more in the past month is the offensive around bakhmut has been extended. now the russians are trying to do the same thing further north in luhansk region around a city called crimea and down further south into donetsk region and around the outskirts of occupied donetsk, using the same tactics — human wave infantry assaults. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: sibling rivalry on the field and a superstar performace at half time — the spicy story of super bowl 57.

mr blyth wanted to provide the then prime minister, borisjohnson, with a loan facility. mr sharp didn't give all the details to this committee of mps who oversaw his appointment. he was back with them on tuesday and outlined why he didn't reveal the meeting he'd set up. i raised with the cabinet secretary that i was in the application process for the bbc chairmanship, and therefore, at that time, we discussed precisely that to avoid a conflict, or an appearance of conflict, i should have nothing further to do with it. in a report published today, the digital, culture, media and sport committee say richard sharp left them without the full facts to make a decision on his suitability. the mp said he showed significant errors ofjudgment in how he acted while trying to become bbc chairman. 0ne committee member is sceptical

regarding how mr sharp got hisjob. what he didn't tell us is that he'd facilitated an £800,000 loan for borisjohnson, the prime minister, who then gave him the job. it's all a bit banana republic. while the bbc conducts its own internal review, labour are questioning the relationship between the government and its chairman. i think that does make his position increasingly untenable _ i think that does make his position increasingly untenable, _ and when the report is published, if those questions i can't be answered, then i think that the integrity of the bbc is far— more important than the position of one individual. _ a separate independent review of mr sharp's appointment has yet to report. the government says wait for that. the process is not complete. we have to wait for the commission on public appointments... why do we need another report? we've already got one. people know what happened. we need to be fair to all parties in this, including richard sharp. the bbc chairman richard sharp has said that while he may have made introductions, he did not get involved in boris johnson's finances. he's apologised to mps for not providing all the information

that they felt they needed in order to scrutinise his appointment. richard sharp has said that by giving all the facts at the outset to the civil servant simon case, he regarded his behaviour as transparent. david wallace—lockhart, bbc news. time now to catch up with all the sport — here's 0lly foster. it feels like a pivotal weekend in the english premier league. arsenal dropped points on saturday, title rivals taking advantage on sunday. manchester city are notjust rivals taking advantage on sunday. manchester city are not just three points behind the gunners after they beat aston villa. the last of them came from the penalty spot. villa pulled one back through 0lly watkins. city now face arsenal on wednesday coming a win for pep

thanks to this area of high pressure centred right over the heart of continental europe. this frontal system pushing in from the west, taking its time to get here. so, in the meantime, we are looking at mainly fine conditions, a lot of cloud though through east wales, the midlands and parts of eastern england, and some of that cloud i think will linger along some of these eastern coasts, could stay quite murky for some actually here through the day. but elsewhere, with a bit more of a breeze, we should break up more of the cloud and reveal a little more in the way of sunshine. and if you do get some sunshine tomorrow, it won't feel too bad at all with temperatures between 8—12 degrees. now, as we head on into tuesday, this little frontal system here will start to introduce some cloud and some splashes of rain, particularly across northern ireland and scotland. but this southerly breeze bringing a renewed surge of mild air, and where you get some shelter from that breeze, it is likely to feel very mild indeed. southern parts of england, perhaps parts of wales, starting the day with some fog, which will tend to clear. england and wales seeing sunny spells, northern ireland

and scotland, more cloud and some bits and pieces of rain. but it's mild everywhere and parts of north wales, with some shelter from the southerly breeze, could get all the way up to 15 celsius. now, a change does come as we head through the middle of the week. this frontal system pushes its way eastwards, eventually bringing some outbreaks of rain, becoming increasingly light and patchy. and then, as we move towards the end of the week, we will see some further rain at times, but not all the time, and it will remain very mild. in the south, we could see highs of 15 or 16 degrees.

this is bbc news. the headlines. the number of dead from the earthquakes in turkey and syria, is now more than 30,000. but remarkably, survivors are still being pulled from the rubble. both the un and syria's voluntary group of rescuers known as the white helmets say the international community has failed people in the country's northwest, where thousands of people have died. the head of russia's wagner mercenary army claims his fighters have captured a village on the outskirts of bakhmut, a city they've been assaulting for months. politicians in the us say the military has shot down an undentified object above lake huron — the third such shoot down in many days.

0fficials haven't disclosed details about the object.
