the rubble searching for survivors rescuers have been battling the unfolding disaster all night pulling people from collapsed buildings. this man was trapped when the walls of his home caved in on him he was found among the debris and dug out. the tremors began at 9 in the evening terrified residents recorded the impact is the ground shook beneath their feet relief efforts have been hampered by aftershocks almost as powerful as the initial quake. in freezing temperatures families became homeless overnight shoe on down them is our houses are either collapsed or damaged we cannot go back to our village some people have died i hope god will help us and give us patience our animals died we have to spend the night here by the fire or to

the. surrounding villages have been devastated to some inhabitants are now reduced to sleeping in tents. because today just as a sort of last night we were watching television what all of the sudden there was an earthquake and it shook hard the floor collapsed and we went to the window. after we had figured a way out who broke the door and got out. because we did we saw that other houses had collapsed to. search it in that he said. back in cebu authorities are warning residents not to return to damaged buildings because of the risk of further aftershocks for thousands of people in the city and beyond there is no home to return to and for more on this i'm joined now by

d.w. correspondent yulia hand in istanbul yulia how is the rescue were progressing. well there are fears of course that the death toll might further rise because rescue workers are still searching for people buried under the rubble of collapsed buildings thousands of people had to leave their homes last evening because there were either damaged destroyed or just no longer safe so what happened is that most schools a student dormitories and sports holes were open for people so they had a place to stay turkey's national disaster management authority has also distribute to tens and blankets and bags turkish president and one on twitter promised people that all steps would being taken to aid people affected by this disaster now additional rescue workers and how has also been sent from areas from from other

cities in the contrary from across the country to the areas affected can only imagine how traumatizing that must be for the people there but is there any idea of the extent of the damage. now it's too early to say that but this earthquake last night definitely triggered fears here in turkey across the country there is live t.v. broadcasting now on all the major channels and this is the topic this is what people are talking about right now on the streets and on social media and this is because turkey is prone to earthquakes it has a history of quakes in 1990 for example 800000 people were killed after 2 quakes here in northwest turkey so istanbul this big city of 16000000 people was also very badly affected and this is what experts here are warning about

that a very large quake could hit ball and this would potentially be disastrous but with that kind of history is it safe to assume that the turkish government has taken steps to prepare for this kind of disaster well i'd say the authorities here have learned their lessons from previous quakes when it comes to the emergency response for example but is simple of course is a different story 16000000 people it's a very densely populated city and there has been criticism that the government basically has allowed for whites building without safety precautions that it has taken away all sold to empty space where people could potentially go and seek safety and that it has spend billions of euro or dollars on mega projects instead of investing that money into earthquake safety so when it comes to

the people living in this city they tell me they are very scared due to abuse you know your home in istanbul thanks so much. it is a swarm of enormous proportions desert locusts are eating their way across large parts of east africa and it's the worst outbreak some countries there have seen in 70 years somalia ethiopia and kenya are the worst affected and uganda is bracing for an invasion to authorities have advised citizens to stock up on food as the insects approach the border with kenya researchers say they pose an unprecedented threat to food security and some of the world's most vulnerable countries. they eat and destroy everything on their way to. one swarm message 60 kilometers long and 40 kilometers wide hundreds of thousands of acres of crops destroyed.

agriculture is big business in the region he had the kenyan national government is now increasing the efforts and spraying from the yeah this warms the spreading fast . up to 150 kilometers at day the un's food and agriculture organization is raising the alarm now calling for international assistance it's the worst that we've seen in ethiopia and somalia in 25 years and the worst that we've seen in 10 years over 70 years the fear is that the locust numbers could increase 500 times in the next few months. time for sports now and in the bundesliga dortmund put on a dominant performance in a $51.00 win against cologne on friday night thanks in part to a rising star dortmund's new whisky to erling hall and hit the target twice in his 2nd game for the club after scoring a hat trick in his debut last week the 19 year old norwegian proved once again that
