welcome to newsday. reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines — rescue efforts to find survivors are coming to an end, officials say — nearly two weeks on from turkey and syria's devastating earthquakes. police investigating the disappearance of a woman in the northwest of england say they have recovered a body from a river — near to where nicola bulley was last seen. will russia soon be buying chinese weapons for its war in ukraine? the americans warn china not to do it. and the first world war german—language film, "all quiet on the western front", takes home 7 bafta's at the film awards ceremony in london.

it's seven in the morning in singapore, and two o'clock in the morning in turkey where officials have said most rescue efforts to find survivors have come to an end — two weeks on from the earthquake that devastated the south of turkey and north west of syria. search operations have been winding down for days as the chances of finding people fade. more than 47 thousand people are known to have been killed by the quake and the aftershocks across both countries. meanwhile, the us secretary of state, antony blinken, surveyed the damage in hard—hit hatay province as he toured the region by helicopter.

he's expected to hold talks with his turkish counterpart, before meeting some of the people affected by the quake, including white helmet rescue workers from rebel—held parts of syria. with clean—up efforts getting underway in turkey — anger is building in some of the worst—affected areas. as bulldozers clear debris in the devastated southeastern city of antakya, many people are still waiting for their loved ones to be found under the rubble. translation: my cousin has still not be found under the rubble. _ the search asked her to continue so that at least his body is found. we have been waiting for 15 days, we have been here since the day of the earthquake. translation: while we're suffering here they tell us to go _ and empty our homes because they will destroy the building but my houses elsewhere. so wait until the people are out of the rubble first was that we go there, they forbid us to enter the houses. what are we going to do? at things, our lives and their and our loved ones are there.

we can speak now to salah aboulgasem, an aid worker with the charity islamic relief — who has just left the earthquake zone. salah, you returned from turkey in the last few hours, can you tell us about the work in the picture on the ground is like right now. in the picture on the ground is like riaht now. ., ., ., ., right now. following on from listenin: right now. following on from listening to _ right now. following on from listening to your— right now. following on from listening to your report, - right now. following on from listening to your report, the | right now. following on from - listening to your report, the scenes are still heartbreaking. it's very important that we as an international community take a bit of a step back and understand that this is a major crisis that's going to be going on for a long time. understandably, people are on the ground very upset, very concerned. everyone is heartbroken, people are physically, mentally and emotionally tired. were going on to the 14th day now, it's extremely difficult. it's starting now to become less real and hitting home orfor starting now to become less real and hitting home or for people,

starting now to become less real and hitting home orfor people, the human impact. the amount of family members or people of loss, despair, challenge, difficulty they are gone through. on the ground it still... the search and rescue operations are under fortunately, the search and rescue operations are underfortunately, i say under fortunately, i say unfortunately, underfortunately, i say unfortunately, it's understandably but unfortunately there are people still not been recovered from the disaster zone. still not been recovered from the disasterzone. it still not been recovered from the disaster zone. it is very understandable that people are concerned in this regard. at the same time, it's challenging because the priorities, there is so much to be done. many of the cities are very different to how they looked initially. in the sense that there is total destruction everywhere. now it's moved away from very much search and rescue. there's elements of that going on but now it is moving towards evacuating people. lots of the buildings are unsafe and we need to take this under consideration. i understand the context on the ground, we delivering aid in supporting people, receiving

ist—hand, parts unstable, but a movement here and there. the 1st-hand, parts unstable, but a movement here and there. the picture that ou movement here and there. the picture that you have — movement here and there. the picture that you have described, _ movement here and there. the picture that you have described, the _ movement here and there. the picture that you have described, the scale - that you have described, the scale of the devastation and what indeed needs to be done in this next phase as you point out. when you look at what the rebuilding effort must be now, what are some of the most urgent priorities for people? safety and security — urgent priorities for people? safety and security is _ urgent priorities for people? safety and security is the _ urgent priorities for people? safety and security is the utmost - and security is the utmost importance. when i talk about or try to give a breakdown as to our organisation plans, they are two separate things going on that are both in their own right and their own respective massive, huge operations what is your humour in this area. the context of both are extremely different. the devastation, size and scale, the numbers, the population in turkey may be higher but in syria at the numbers are less but let me please stress to people they are two

completely different context. turkey, there is a coordinated operation, an authority that is in place. we've seen progress was that my colleagues on the ground in syria are talking about the fact that they are talking about the fact that they are not like maybe the scale and the size of the numbers are not the same but they are at day three whereas in terms of the search and rescue, in terms of the search and rescue, in terms of the next phases, recovery and the reconstruction or wherever it may be, turkey is far much more ahead. in turkey many of the areas you see ghost towns. because of the high population that was there. just a couple of days ago the streets were swarming with people, people helping people. whereas in turkey is still looks like that. in syria it still looks like that. in syria it still looks like that. in syria it's still looks like that. in syria it's's so still looks like that. in syria it's so desperate because of the absence of the aid they don't have. there is a major difference. i

of the aid they don't have. there is a major difference.— a major difference. i completely understand that. _ a major difference. i completely understand that. i'm _ a major difference. i completely understand that. i'm sorry - a major difference. i completely understand that. i'm sorry to i a major difference. i completely i understand that. i'm sorry to jump in there. salah aboulgasem, i know there is so much devastation on the ground and i really appreciate the time that you spent with us on the programme with your thoughts. thank you forjoining us on the program. breaking news covenant last 15 minutes. breaking news covenant last 15 minutes. reports coming in say north korea has fired balllistic missiles into the sea of japan for the second day running. the japanese coastguard said a second and third missile had landed in its waters on sunday. north korea said it test fired an intercontinental ballistic missile on saturday. the north korean leader kimjong un�*s sister — kim yojong — said whether to use the pacific ocean as its "shooting range" depended on the united states. we will have more on that story so do stay tuned to bbc news. police in the northwest of england — who have been searching for a missing woman

for the past three weeks — say they've found a body in the river wyre. nicola bulley disappeared while taking her dog for a walk on the morning of 27th january. police have said all along they were working on the possibility that she'd fallen into the river. the body was found close to where she was last seen — but police say formal identification had not yet been carried out. our correspondent judith moritz reports. the search for nicola bulley has been on land, in water, and by air. now, finally, there is news that could be significant. the police were called just after 11:30am this morning to reports of a body in the river wyre. the nearest road was quickly closed off and the footpath along the water's edge also sealed. after a mammoth search, which extended all the way to the sea, this discovery was made within a short distance of where nicola went missing, near to the village of st michael's on wyre. she was last seen more than three weeks ago in a field where she was walking her dog. her phone was then discovered

on a bench next to the water. today, the body was found downriver, about a mile away. an underwater search team and specialist officers went into the water and recovered the body, before it was taken for the identification process to begin. a forensics tent was erected to preserve the scene. there will be a postmortem and then thereafter there will of course be a coroner's inquest, so all the evidence has to be gathered, as best and as professionally and as painstakingly as is required, in order that the truth hopefully at some point in the future can be laid in front of the coroner's court and an inquest and a verdict can be delivered. it's too early to know whether it is nicola who's been found. lancashire police say her family is being kept informed as work is carried out to identify the remains. these pictures show the stretch of riverjust after the bend

where the discovery was made. 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 who are waiting for news. you know, this village, which is little more than a hamlet, has been the epicentre of national attention for the last three weeks or so. nicola bulley�*s family have said at times that that has provided a distraction, and from their point of view, a real worry that it has taken away from the purpose of their work and of the police's work, to find nicola. now, the home secretary tonight, suella braverman, has tweeted that she finds these latest developments heart—breaking and distressing and that her thoughts are with nicola's family to other stories now and 12 months ago, there was no war, no refugee crisis, no mass slaughter. but this week a grim and terrible milestone is reached, following vladimir putin's order that his military attack ukraine by land, sea and air. throughout this weekend, world leaders have been meeting,

to discuss their continuing response to the conflict here. and on sunday, a warning from america, that the next phase of the war, could see china supply weapons to russian forces, engaged in combat. the warning came from the us secretary of state, antony blinken, who says there'll be �*serious consequences' for china, if that happens. he was speaking in munich, from where our diplomatic correspondent, james landale, now reports. this war is almost one—year—old. and it shows no sign of letting up. whether on patrol in the snow or dug in deep in the low ground, ukrainian troops are largely holding firm, backed by arms from the west. but... there is still a lot to be done. we have to increase and accelerate our military support to ukraine, quickly. now, potentially, a new development. the united states says russian forces are already getting surveillance and technology from chinese firms, but america's top diplomat believes china is considering going further, providing russia with weapons and ammunition. 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're considering providing lethal support, and we've made very clear to them that that would cause a serious problem for us and in our relationship. that message was delivered at a security conference in munich, where mr blinken met his chinese counterpart behind closed doors. he was here to brief european counterparts on china's so—called peace plan, which is expected shortly. he also met ukraine's foreign minister, who certainly doesn't want chinese arms in russian hands. china's foreign ministry accused the us of finger—pointing. 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 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 policymakers here is that that may be about to change. and there's uncertainty

about what it might mean. before the war, vladimir putin and president xijinping agreed what they called a partnership with no limits. it may be the west is about to find out if that's true. james landale, bbc news, munich. meanwhile, the picture in russia — a year after the invasion of ukraine has seen more than a hundred laws being introduced to prevent people opposing the conflict, or even calling it a war. anyone who does speak out, risks losing their own freedom and potentially that of their families'. a bbc investigation now tells the stories of those who've been taking extraordinary risks over the past 12 months, to oppose the war. nawal al—maghafi has that story. nina spent four years as a district councillor in a small city in western russia. she'd been speaking out online against russia's invasion of ukraine. but last march, she took the stage at a council

meeting after colleagues challenged her on the statements she'd made. determined to document the moment, she dismisses their angry calls to stop filming. translation: | am against - the decision taken by the president of the russian federation and against the actions that are being carried out today on the territory of the sovereign state of ukraine. i consider what's going on to be a war crime. "shut your mouth," shouts one councillor. but she stands her ground at the podium. nina took a big risk to speak out. under laws introduced since the ukraine invasion, it's a crime to call it a war or demonstrate against it. and she's not the only one. translation: we got together and we realised that we cannotl and we will not remain silent. in the city of yekaterinburg, this man is part of a collective

of street artists waging their own campaign against the state's pro—war propaganda. they've put stickers up around their town highlighting the deaths of russian soldiers in the war — a crime in itself. and he is picked up by the police for it. translation: they took me to the police station. - i said, i want my lawyer. i get a good smackl in the face for that. i'm, like, i don't understand. i need a lawyer. i get the same again. the court dealing with his case sends him to a psychiatric hospital for a month to be assessed. but while he's inside, his friends carry on the work. the risks are more real than ever. for this man, another member of the collective, it's hard to believe how much has changed since the invasion. translation: i used to 'oke that we'd all become h criminals or extremists. we'd be jailed for a drawing or a text. but when it happened,

i was terrified. with so many freedoms being taken away, hundreds of thousands are estimated to have fled russia, including nina. for this man, being free is being able to choose where to live. so despite the risks, he's staying put. nawal al—maghafi, bbc news. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme... a court in australia considers whether indigenous people should be able to claim their state pensions at an earlier age. prince charles has chosen his bride. the prince proposed to lady diana spencer three weeks ago. she accepted, she says, without hesitation. as revolutions go, this had its fair share of bullets. a climax in the night outside the gates of mr marcos's sanctuary, malaca nang. the name itself symbolising one of the cruellest regimes of modern asia. the world's first clone has been

the disappearance of a woman in the northwest of england say they have recovered a body from a river — near to where nicola bulley was last seen. the full federal court in australia will consider on monday whether indigenous people should be able to access the aged pension early. the legal challenge argues that aboriginal and torres strait islander peoples have lower life expectancy so holding them to the retirement age is discriminatory. the case is brought by a 64—year old indigenous man seeking early access to the age pension. we can now speak to nerita waight, the ceo of the victorian aboriginal legal service — which represents the man who brought this case. how significant is this case? and give us the background to how we got here. certainly. as you explain, taking

the federal government to court to get fair and legal access to pension. at the moment we know that our communities have not closed the gap for agent expectancy and we still suffer poor health outcomes two things like ill health and disease, chronic dictations like cancer, respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, mental health and suicide. many are impacted by structures such as racism and health. across brought on by low access to health, education, employmentand on by low access to health, education, employment and income. this is very impactful for our community. it means they'll have a chance to have a retirement in dignity rather than what happens, which is many of our community unfortunately have to work up until they enter ——. if unfortunately have to work up until they enter ---_

that brings us to the end of newsday. stay with bbc news. hello. it was a very mild weekend and it looks as though monday's going to be every bit as mild. but how about the week overall? here's the summary. that mild start monday and tuesday were expecting a cold front to reach us on wednesday and will be some rain in the midweek and after that, is going to turn a little bit colder. here's the forecast and starting with the satellite picture, you can see clouds are still streaming in out of the southwest and a milder direction hence the higher temperatures. weather map also shows isobars and plenty of them across northern scotland and that means strong winds will continue throughout early monday. the forecast shows lots of cloud through the early hours but if you

cleared spells and wet in western scotland in the early morning temperatures will be around double figures across may a little fresher in the south where we had a few clear spells. the clouds will break to give way to sunny spells in the east of the high ground in midlands and temperatures can actually reach 16 celsius and eastern parts of the country where the clouds persist, more typically be around 11 or 13 degrees. that is monday and i'm about tuesday? a weather front is approaching which will introduce eventually and west of us, we are ahead of it and get that south—westerly air stream and lots of cloud around on tuesday. the cloud will be thick and do not think will be many spells on tuesday. temperatures still managing to reach around 11 to 13 celsius. and then a change happens on wednesday and a cold front sweeps across the country and pushes the milder air

towards the east but it is not desperately cold air. we're expecting the temperatures to return from a cold direction but it is not all that cold. i think it is going to feel colder because the cloud in the rain and the stronger wind on the north sea. the temperature, even as late as 10 degrees one or two spots and yes, the temperature, even as high as 10 degrees one or two spots and yes, there's a chance for winter showers but that is across the scottish mountains. so, midweek, yes, admit to connect nick's back with rain, so, midweek, yes, mixed bag to connect nick's back with rain, and mild start to the rain with wind midweek with that slightly colder air arriving at the end of the week, it can actually improve once again. goodbye.

good evening. i'm gavin ramjaun, and this is your update from the bbc sport centre. manchester united have played themselves into the premier league title race with marcus rashford's goals taking them there. united are now only five points off leaders aston in third place after rashford's two goals helped them to a 3—0 win over leicester city at old trafford. the forward now has 2a for the season and 17 of those have come in, just 18 games since the world cup. united have moved to within two points of manchester city and five of leaders arsenal. like i said it's a great team. and they played really well. they make it really tough for us. i was also, of course, bias. we didn't follow the rules,

the principles of our game from our way of play. it was undisciplined. it's not right. we came in half—time, we said it. we are lucky we won, also that we know how to beat them. it was a good goal. it was once again, great pass from bruno, good finish from rishi. that wasn't a lot. and then second half was all ours. elsewhere, tottenham have called on social media companies and authorities to take action against racist abuse suffered by striker son heung—min. it followed spurs 2—0 win over west ham. emerson royal opened the scoring for spurs who are once again missing boss antonio conte as he recovers from surgery. son started on the bench but came on to good effect, linking up with harry kane to score his 98th premier league goalfor the club. tottenham have called the online abuse directed at him utterly reprehensible. england's lionesses survived a scare to beat italy 2—1 in the arnold clark cup in coventry, extending their unbeaten run to 28 matches.
