7:40 pm
in their recent history. president recep tayyip erdogan — who has ruled turkey for 20 years — is under threat. his main rival — the secular opposition leader kemal kilitchdarohlu — has a narrow lead in opinion polls. the economy is shattered, and the president has been widely criticised for the state's slow response to devastating twin earthquakes in february. the death toll in turkey was around 50,000 according to officialfigures. 0ur senior international correspondent 0rla guerin reports now from the ancient city of antakya — in hatay province — where the official death toll is more than 20,000. there's no election fever in antakya. just boundless grief in this one cemetery. more than 5000 lie buried, most still unidentified. "how can i forget you"?
7:41 pm
cries this lady to her son beneath the soil. her grandson comes to comfort her. she cradled the little boy under the rubble for eight hours. your father is lying here, she tells him. she blames president erdogan for the four loved ones she lost. do you think he will still be president after the election? "i hope to god he won't", she says. "what i want from the ballot box is his dead body". "0ur souls have been ripped away". "hejust brings harm". it wasn't only the earthquakes that killed here.
7:42 pm
many buildings were death traps. under recep tayyip erdogan, there have been repeated amnesties for illegal construction. developers just had to pay a fine. when disaster struck here, it exposed weaknesses in the turkish state. structuralfaults in president erdogan's long rule. it wasn't just years of shoddy construction work. critics point to a lack of proper oversight, a lack of preparedness. the worst natural disaster in modern turkish history was compounded by man. many died waiting for help that never came. but supporters of the president and there are plenty echo his view that all this was destiny. in a deeply polarised country. the earthquake is one more fissure. it took ibrahim's home
7:43 pm
and his brother, but not his faith in turkey's authoritarian leader. "it's god's will that it happened," he says. it shouldn't be politcised, 0ur president didn't cause the earthquake. he did his best. right across the road, these ladies heard ibrahim's words in disbelief and in agony. they lost three relatives. "what i've just heard really offended me". nobody helped us in any way. we came with our own efforts, our own means. we try to reach our families during the first hours of the earthquake until we reached
7:44 pm
their dead bodies. hours later, days later, mass graves where we in a different universe. 0rwas he? what he said about erdogan definitely was not true. for some here, the searching continues, like the torment. selahattin and his wife fatma are trying to find their son, daughter in law and five —year—old granddaughter. this was never out of her hands. they've been keeping a vigil here as the rubble from their son's apartment block is cleared away and dumped. i still have hope because there are rumours my kids were rescued from here. i hope they are in the hospital. i still have this feeling inside me that they will get well and come back to us. the couple have already
7:45 pm
buried 23 relatives. as they go, fatma spots a turkish flag on the ground. they are quick to raise it up. on sunday, turks will vote in elections that could perhaps change everything. president erdogan is already under pressure after 20 long years and many will take their grief to the polls altogether. 0rla guerin bbc news, antakya. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. for these midwives from east kent, see swimming at this time of year is a simple affair. the water is cold so you just need to get in in a bit. now it is about the few short minutes in water to de—stress from a difficult and pressurised environment on a hospital. it gives

7:47 pm
which currently stands at $31 trillion. if he fails to get a deal, the government could run out of money by early next month. but republicans say they'll only agree if mr biden agrees to drastic spending cuts. earlier i spoke to keith hall, distinguished visiting fellow with the mercatus centre and former director of the congressional budget office and i asked how we got here. reason we got here is we borrow a lot of money. 0ur treasury department is sort of tasked with managing our finances and paying the bills as they come in. but a lot of the bills have to be paid from borrow with borrowed money because we just overspend our revenues. and we're doing that for a long time. and this has been coming for a while, where the accumulated borrowing has hit a limit that's been set by statute by congress and the president in the past. and once you hit that limit, treasury is not allowed to borrow any more money. so they have to start to think
7:48 pm
about leaving some of the bills that come in unpaid until they get approval to to continue to borrow more money. i suppose the other question then, keith, is how does this actually impact the average punter? well, the first thing is, is we really with interest rates, in fact, most of it works through interest rates. the us government, since we borrow so much money, if there's any concern over our willingness or ability to repay our debts, then it may. it may require an extra premium on interest rates for us borrowing. on interest rates for us borrowing. so we get hit with little higher interest rates, little higher debt service on our debt, if there's concern over us commitment to paying things. so the first thing, of course, is it affects taxpayers.
7:49 pm
the second thing is anything that affects interest rates, certainly an entity is large as the us government. if interest rates go up because of this lack of payment on the debt, it can raise interest rates for everybody. we're already suffering from high interest rates as it is. and then the third thing is, we're all ready at danger of tumbling into recession because of these higher interest rates. so having this issue with the federal government paying the bills fully and raising interest rates could help tip us over into recession. i'm told, keith, i have about a minute to go, but i just wondered, do you see this being resolved or is there no choice but for this to be resolved? well, it needs to be resolved, that there's just no reason for it not to be resolved. and really, it's a game of chicken. i think neither side wants to see this happen, but the republicans really
7:50 pm
want to get some commitment to reduce spending before they agree to it. that was keith hall. you're watching bbc news. israel has mounted another attack against a target in gaza, killing two palestinians, hours after israeli air strikes hit the territory. the israeli army says the target was an anti—tank guided missile cell planning to carry out an attack. the latest attack comes after 13 people were killed — including women and children in israeli air strikes overnight — targeting senior members of islamichhad. during a meeting of the security cabinet, the israeli prime minister said any attack on israel would not go unpunished. and the al quds brigade — that's the military wing of islamichhad — said resistance to israel would continue. here's our middle east correspondent yoalnde knell. that air strike a few hours ago was in the south of the gaza strip. two men were killed in their car and you can see in pictures,
7:51 pm
that car was on fire. the isreali military says that they were transporting anti—tank missiles but it's a confusing picture because no militant group in gaza has said they were members of their organisation. there are some local sources saying that perhaps these two men were just relatives who were farmers in that area. at the same time, we've had the israeli prime minister coming out in the past two hours, speaking about israel's operation in the gaza strip, saying that he had ordered military action as early as last week in response to the rocket fire that took place just over a week ago. he said the idea was that this cuts off the top of the organisation. "we are in the middle of a campaign," he said. adding to this idea that there could be fighting and retaliation from gaza which leads to fighting carrying on over several days.
7:52 pm
residents close to the gaza strip in the south of israel have been told to stay close to their bomb shelters and schools have been closed until at least tomorrow evening. it's an uneasy moment as we wait to see what happens. now — this week will mark one year since the aljazeera journalist shireen abu akleh was fatally shot in the head — while reporting on an israeli military raid in the west bank. the commitee to protectjournalists has found that at least 20 journalists have been killed by the israeli military fire since 2001. 18 of them were palestinians... the organisation says that no one has ever been charged or held responsible for these killings and that it follows a "deadly pattern". in response to dentists reports the israeli defence port city did not
7:53 pm
targetjournalists israeli defence port city did not target journalists who through israeli defence port city did not targetjournalists who through their work were near present near violent protests. the rdf added that during intense combat situations, the idf only strikes at military targets and takes precautions to make sure no harm comes to civilians during its operational activities. the idf also says it regularly examines and regulates its actions through independent and in debt inspections and investigative mechanisms. when you think of the netherlands — you may think of canals, tulips and windmills. there are more than a thousand of them left — many still in good working order. just north of amsterdam — one windmill in particular has a uniquejob — as tim allman explains. this is one of the most famous and iconic paintings of all time. vermeer�*s girl with a pearl earring showcasing his skill, his technique, and his use of colour.
7:54 pm
but where would a modern day artist looking to use authentic 17th century techniques go to get their paints? how about here? we got 1200 windmills in the netherlands. but one is for paint supplies. and this is the only one. every morning for the last 42 years, pete would bring this centuries old windmill called the cat into life. two massive grinding stones weighing ten tonnes would crush rock into powder, producing coloured pigments. techniques that date back around 400 years, creating paints like ultramarine blue that were incredibly valuable. it was the most precious colour that was existing as a pigment. and the story goes, which sounds very interesting, and i think they can prove that it's right.
7:55 pm
it was as precious as gold. vermeer spent most of his life in delft, but he did serve his apprenticeship in amsterdam. who knows? maybe he picked up some of his paints from a windmill, just like the cat. tim allman, bbc news. we have an update on the trial against donald trump, the former us president. newjury has reached a verdict which was brought by ejean carroll who claimed donald trump richter in new york in the 1990s. thejury, made up of richter in new york in the 1990s. the jury, made up of aversive citizens. where shown the infamous
7:56 pm
access hollywood recording and the claim was brought to trial after new york passed a law that allowed survivors to suit years after their alleged sexual assault. so, that verdict in the trump civil rape trial will be announced in the next few minutes and christian will be bringing that to life here on the programme. that is it from the in a team. darren is here with the weather. hello there. we've seen a real mixture of weather today, some warm sunshine coming through, but some torrential downpours as well. we had some heavier showers earlier in the day in wales. that was followed by the sunshine as the downpours with some thunder in there as well swept into the midlands and it's been pushing down towards the south—east. and this is where we still have this yellow thunderstorm warning from the met office. so these areas into the evening will continue to get some very heavy rain in places and some thunder and lightning, possibly some hail as well. those downpours in the south—east do slowly fade away overnight. and then we see more cloud coming in from the atlantic.
7:57 pm
that's going to bring in frequent showers into northern ireland, into western scotland. ahead of that, some clearer skies. and so temperatures could be as low as seven or eight degrees into wednesday morning. for many eastern areas, though, it will start dry, but we'll see more showers breaking out and, really, for the next couple of days, we've continue to see this mixture of sunny spells and some widespread heavy and perhaps thundery showers. we've got the dry start for many eastern areas, but the cloud will build up through the day. we'll see the showers breaking out. those could turn heavy and thundery, more especially across eastern parts of england. before those downpours arrive temperatures here could reach 18 degrees. but with those frequent showers and more cloud in northern ireland and western scotland, it's only going to be around 15 degrees here. and that same area of low pressure is just going to dawdle its way southwards. come to rest across the uk in time for thursday. the winds probably not quite as strong in the south—west of england by this stage. and elsewhere, the winds are going to be light. so the showers that do develop again through the day more widely
7:58 pm
will be slow moving, heavy, potentially thundery as well. drying off more in the afternoon in northern ireland with some sunshine but staying quite cloudy in the north east of scotland. so cooler here. elsewhere, temperatures will be around 16 degrees. a lot of showers then developing again on thursday. but that main area of low pressure drifts away on friday. high pressure starts to build in, starting to settle things down by the end of the week. now, we're still close enough to low pressure to bring the risk of some showers in the south—east. and there'll be a chilly wind blowing in off the north sea, bringing with it more cloud. the best of the sunshine across northern and western parts of the uk. so temperatures here could get up to 18 degrees again, but rather chilly around those north sea coasts.
8:00 pm
hello, you are watching the context on bbc news and we're going to dispense of the headlines this evening at the district of new york because they are breaking news of the top of the sour. the jury in the civil cases reached a verdict in which donald trump is accused of rape. the colonists claims that before donald trump became the president, he raped her in a department store dressing room and the defender by dismissing her account is a hoax. donald trump did not give evidence in this trumpet to provide a video deposition denying the accusations and the 9—member jury
