Major earthquakes in Turkey and Syria

We dedicate most of the programme to the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, bringing you updates on the rescue operation and the damage.

More than 2,000 people have been killed and thousands of buildings have collapsed.

We hear accounts by people in the affected area who witnessed the quake and speak to people taking part in the rescue operation.

We also speak to our teams on the ground and in the BBC headquarters about how they cover the story as they verify various reports, images and videos and explain what happened.
