experts are to have spoken to said that that is far from realistic. in some ways, it has alarmed some of the survivors that i met both while down there. they are afraid that such a rush could encourage some of the period of construction practices that had not been claimed for by this earthquake was so deadly. that is not 'ust this earthquake was so deadly. that is notjust about _ this earthquake was so deadly. that is notjust about rebuilding homes, it is about rebuilding lives. people have lost everything. so many millions who have notjust homeless but have no belongings whatsoever. how do they even start? many won't even have jobs to go how do they even start? many won't even havejobs to go back how do they even start? many won't even have jobs to go back to go back to. even have “obs to go back to go back to. . �* , even have “obs to go back to go back to. ., �*, ., , to. that's a very good point. one gentleman _ to. that's a very good point. one gentleman said _ to. that's a very good point. one gentleman said that _ to. that's a very good point. one gentleman said that he _ to. that's a very good point. one gentleman said that he would - to. that's a very good point. one . gentleman said that he would return as soon as the city but he was born and raised its belt, but he doesn't expect to be jobs. and raised its belt, but he doesn't expect to bejobs. he and raised its belt, but he doesn't expect to be jobs. he wonders what kinds of skills will be there for his daughter, so that is a question at the forefront. —— what kind of schools. it is going to be eight new

that for a lot of people, this earthquake will have to be a factor. whether it is because you suffered the loss of a family member, or your home, and you blame the government for that loss, or whether it is because you are turning to the government and you feel that the stability that erdogan, a very strong, some would say authoritarian leader, that strength at the exhibits, is a source of comfort for you. the earthquake is going to be very much at the forefront. 0ther very much at the forefront. other issues that may have been a play, such as a human rights record or its economy and cost of living crisis, they are definitely going to take a back—seat. but it is difficult to separate weight will go. back-seat. but it is difficult to separate weight will go. police in the north of england have found a body near where a woman went missing three weeks ago. 45—year—old nicola bulley was last seen walking her dog near a river in lancashire in the northwest of england onjanuary 27th.

25 minutes after she was last seen, her mobile phone was found on a bench still connected to a work teams call. her springer spanial was found waiting nearby. lancashire police said they were called at 11.36 local time to reports of a body in the river wyre, less than a kilometre from where she was last seen. a police statement on twitter said... "an underwater search team and specialist officers have subsequently attended the scene, entered the water and have sadly recovered a body." the search for nicola bulley has been on land, in water, and by air. today, as the police helicopter circled overhead, news for the first time that she might have been found. police were called just after 11:30am this morning to reports of a body in the river wyre, a short distance downriver from where she was last seen. roads around the village of st michael's were closed, and the footpath along the water's edge was also sealed off. an underwater search team and specialist officers went into the water.

sadly, they found a body, and it was taken for the identification process to begin. a forensics tent was erected to preserve the scene. lancashire police say it is too early to know whether it is nicola bulley. herfamily is being kept informed as work is carried out to identify the remains. the body was found just after this bend in the river. it's an area which has been searched before, though search teams have previously said that some parts of the water are hard to see because of debris. the investigation into nicola bulley�*s disappearance has attracted widespread speculation, and after the police released personal details about her, there has been a public and political backlash. at the centre of it all, there's a distressed family were waiting for news. china could be getting ready to supply weapons to russian forcesfor use in the war in ukraine. the warning came from the us

secretary of state antony blinken, who said there would be "serious consequences" for china if that happened. an international security conference in munich has been considering appeals from the ukrainian authorities to send more weapons to help in the fight against the russian invaders. from munich, our diplomatic correspondent james landale reports. for months now, vladimir putin has been wooing china's president so is all that diplomacy about to pay off? so far, china has neither endorsed nor condemned russia's invasion of ukraine, calling instead for a peaceful solution. but the us believes russian forces in ukraine are already getting surveillance and other information from chinese firms. and america's top diplomat now believes that china could be going further and providing weapons. we have seen them provide non—lethal support to russia for use in ukraine. the concern that we have now is based on information we have that they are considering providing

lethal support, and we've made very clear to them that that would cause a serious problem for us and then in our relationship. that message was delivered at a security conference in munich where mr blinken met china's foreign minister behind closed doors. he was here to brief european counterparts on china's imminent so—called peace plan for ukraine that some analysts fear could call for the west to stop arming ukraine. translation: china is not a party to this crisis in ukraine _ but we are not standing idly by. nor have we thrown fuel on the fire. what china is doing, as i said earlier, is to urge peace and promote talks. until now, china has stayed largely at one remove from the war in ukraine but the fear among western policy—makers here is that that may be about to change, and there's uncertainty about what it might mean. if china is behind russia here then it is a great power that has

and can provide weapons. that is definitely making the conflict and the war bigger. and it would be of concern? definitely. before the war, both men agreed what they called a partnership with no limits. we may find out shortly if that is true. james landale, bbc news, munich. meta — the parent company of instagram and facebook — is launching a verified subscription service on its social media platforms, for a monthly fee. it follows a similar move by twitter. the new service will allow users to verify their accounts using a government id to get a blue badge added to their profile. meta says it will also offer extra protection against impersonation and prioritised customer support. the company's founder, mark zuckerberg, said the service would increase security and authenticity. the rollout will begin in australia and new zealand this week.

borisjohnson has warned that it would be a "great mistake" for the government to abandon legislation he agreed upon northern ireland's trading arrangements when he was prime minister. rishi sunak is trying to reach a new deal with the eu following brexit that would have the support of all communities in northern ireland. here's our political correspondent, tony bonsignore. the northern ireland protocol was borisjohnson's attempt to try and solve the problem of northern ireland and brexit. it hasn't proved successful. despite that, borisjohnson has today intervened again, saying a bill he introduced threatening to rip up the protocol if the eu doesn't renegotiate, should be kept, even though the government has hinted it could be dropped. some politicians are furious. hopefully, we are on the brink of a deal over the coming days, and certainly i would warn any conservative politicians wishing to play politics with us to stay out of it. this is about doing the right thing for the people of northern ireland,

not the internal dynamics and future ambitions of anyone inside the conservative party. the problem is that under the current protocol, goods coming into northern ireland from great britain get checked before they enter, and that creates a border in the irish sea. many tory mps and unionist politicians hate it. they say it is bad for business, and threatens the integrity of the uk. the dup is boycotting the parliament in stormont in protest. this all comes just as rishi sunak reaches a crucial point in his negotiations with the eu over the protocol. the negotiations are complex and sensitive. it's thought that any deal would involve a reduced role for the european court ofjustice and a green lane for goods designed to stay in northern ireland. this would mean fewer regulations, but the details are crucial, and negotiations are being kept under wraps, which makes this intervention all the more controversial. he is trying to wreck the thing,

because he is opposed to the prime minister, he wants — he and his supporters want to undermine the prime minister, it isjust a continuation of the fratricide or war that we see in the conservative party. the government is playing down borisjohnson's comments. the whole point of this is it has to work for the people of northern ireland. everything else, and what my colleagues might say, and what they might do in a hypothetical vote, that is irrelevant, unless it works for the whole of northern ireland. mps return to westminster tomorrow, knowing that much is at stake, including the political process in northern ireland, the future of brexit, and the prime minister's reputation. tony bonsignore, bbc news. almost four million ukrainians crossed into poland in the three months following russia's invasion. for some, poland was just a transit route but almost a million have stayed and started a new life there. a year later,

more still arrive everyday, fleeing in fear of a new russian attack. from the border, our eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford reports. this trilby has been a lifeline. every night, the train pulls into platform five, bringing families from ukraine to poland. from war to safety and peace. the carriage are much quieter these days, but the refugees are still coming. 0lga has just arrived from northern ukraine. herfamily spent the just arrived from northern ukraine. her family spent the night in an abundance of them broke it. they left because 0lga's is a skewered vladimir putin is planning a new deadly offensive to mark the first anniversary of his vision. translation:— anniversary of his vision.

a warning her report contains distressing images from the start. wailing. a mother's painful farewell to her loved ones. "take good care of each other," she tells them. the bodies of aisha's three children and two grandchildren are in these bags. they died when their building collapsed in the turkish city of antakya. her and her husband, along with their four—year—old granddaughter, are the only survivors. they are now sending them across the border to syria to be buried on homeland. the family left idlib to take refuge in turkey, hoping for a fresh start. already broken by years of civil war, they are now completely shattered. translation: we fled the war but died in the earthquake. -

we have been here since early morning and in just a few hours, we have seen six trucks taking bodies across this border into syria. the police tell us this is a massive operation for them. they are working day and night to help this crossing. back in antakya, about aokm from the border, this is all that's left of aisha's front room. ali was just recently engaged to one of aisha's daughters. he was on a video call with her when the earth started shaking. translation: i didn't know it would be the last - time i would see her. when the earthquake happened, she looked at me with fear. i saw her running. she got up while still holding the phone. but then the network went down and electricity was cut off. like many here, ali has had

to put his grief on hold. he's part of a team of syrians helping other syrians find their loved ones. but a big part of their homeland has also been devastated by the earthquake and they are left fending for themselves. translation: we should think about syria. - they don't have electricity or clean water. their houses have been devastated by the bombs and now the earthquake. of course, we accept what comes from god, but i should tell the world — enough. for aisha, there is one more heartbreak to come as the family finally recovered the last person they were looking for — the body of their son—in—law, ten days after the earthquake. nafiseh kohnavard, bbc news. the uk's most prestigious film awards ceremony, the baftas, are getting under way. stars have gathered at the royal

albert hall for the ceremony, that will be televised live for the first time. hosted by actor, richard e grant, the event itself kicks off at 7pm. 0ur our culture editorjoined us from the red carpet earlier. this red carpet has seen some action in the last hour or so, what frocks, what talent, what a turnout at this baftas, as it proves once again that when it comes to cinema, some of the brightest and best of british and global talent want to come here to london to find out whether they are going to win the best awards british film can offer them. so it is often a bellwether for what happens in a few weeks at the oscars, but here there is a clear divide, certainly when it comes to the best actress category, because here two black actresses have been nominated for baftas who were snubbed at the oscars. they are viola davis and danielle deadwyler for her role

playing emmett till�*s mother, the boy was lynched in mississippi in 1955, and i chatted to danielle deadwyler as she arrived earlier today and asked her about it. it is beautiful that bafta is recognising diversity, we should all be doing so. these institutions have been established for a really long time, and moving towards equity and representation of cultural work, ethnic work, of a gendered work, of the queer work, it is imperative to share everybody�*s story. the queer work, it is imperative to share everybody's story.— the queer work, it is imperative to share everybody's story. because of course, share everybody's story. because of course. that — share everybody's story. because of course, that stop _ share everybody's story. because of course, that stop at _ share everybody's story. because of course, that stop at the _ share everybody's story. because of course, that stop at the oscars - share everybody's story. because of course, that stop at the oscars led l course, that stop at the oscars led to resurfacing about racism in hollywood. when it comes to the films, who is likely to win? the favourite in that category is of course cate blanchett and tar. that is the role she plays as a fictional conductor and composer in a film about council culture, and society's

rush to judgment. about council culture, and society's rush tojudgment. it about council culture, and society's rush to judgment. it is a critical success, and it would be cate blanchett�*s fourth best actress bafta. as for the rest, the irish contingent are out in force tonight, particularly for the banshees 0f inisherin, that from about two friends who fall out with absolutely catastrophic consequences come up with the colin farrell and brendan gleeson amongst a host of cast members in the category. it is up for best film and ten other nomination. ten nominations too for everything everywhere all at once, a time travelling for want of a film, but michelle you're up for best actress, and she is a strong contender if the bookies are wrong about cate blanchett. —— with michelle yeoh. the film that did best at the box office was elvis, and austin butler was on the red carpet earlier. he was greeted with

huge excitement by the crowds, and i should also mention all quiet on the western front is leading the nominations, but that is the one i guess with most to lose. it is a a0 nominations, but we will see him and it picks up. —— it has a 1a nominations. hello there. we saw a change of fortunes really today. it was more southern and southeastern parts of the country that had the best of the sunshine, whereas further north we saw much more cloud coming into scotland, the stream of cloud coming in from the atlantic bringing some heavier rain in northern scotland this evening, the worst that rain will move away. and then overnight we'll get this secondary band of rain pushing back down into scotland. it's been windy in scotland and the winds continuing to pick up in many places overnight in northern scotland. we could have some gusts of around 60 miles an hour for a while by the end of the night. a lot of cloud to come tonight. it's going to be a mild one,

particularly in northern ireland. perhaps temperatures no lower than 11 degrees tomorrow. the winds continue to gradually ease down through the day, but this rain is stuck in scotland. could see a secondary band of cloud, a few pockets of rain and drizzle affecting northern ireland over the irish sea into northwest england. there's a lot of cloud on the scene. again, some eastern parts of england, particularly across east anglia, could get some sunshine. it's going to be very mild here, 16 degrees. northern scotland getting some sunshine, but the air is a little bit chillier here. 0n the whole, though, we're starting the week with some very mild air across the uk. there is colder weather trying to push in from the atlantic, but it's taking a little while longer to reach us. so we're still in this mild south to south westerly air stream on tuesday. the winds continue to ease down on tuesday. but as you can see, there's a lot of cloud. may get some drier weather coming in from continental europe to bring some sunshine in the south east later. and those temperatures still on the mild side, at 13 or 1a degrees. there is this band of rain, though, coming into northern ireland and western scotland during the evening. that weather front will take some rain further east overnight

and then the wind direction changes. instead of that very mild south—westerly wind, we get more of a northwesterly wind by the time we get into wednesday. and that will bring some chillier air and perhaps one or two wintry showers into the far northwest. but really, wednesday is a very messy day. there's a lot of cloud. could be some rain here and there and across some northern hills. that rain may turn a bit wintry later on in the day as things start to get a little bit chillier. so we've got seven or eight degrees across the northwest. in the southeast, still temperatures ten or 11 degrees, not as mild as it is at the moment. we start the week ahead with very mild conditions, but with a lot of cloud. then we get that rain around the middle part of the week. then things get a little bit colder, perhaps with the risk of frost at night as well.
