Turkey: A year on from the earthquake

Available for over a year

Pascale Harter introduces insight and analysis from Turkey, Kenya, Argentina and Indonesia. When Turkey's President Erdogan stood among the fallen buildings and grieving people of Turkey’s earthquake zone a year ago, he promised to rebuild within a year - that hasn't happened. While rebuilding work has begun, hundreds of thousands of survivors are still living in make-shift homes. Victoria Craig reports from the historic city of Antakya, one of the worst-affected areas. Like many countries in Africa, Kenya’s population is growing fast - though the country's birth rate is actually going down. Back in the 1970s, the average Kenyan woman could expect to have eight children during her lifetime - today, that’s down to three. While contraception is more widely available, many women and girls still face unplanned and unwanted pregnancies. Linda Ngari has been investigating the limited choices they have. Javier Milei won Argentina’s presidential elections on a promise to break with the political establishment and get Argentina out of its dire economic straits. But his plans could prove painful for Argentines who have already suffered a huge jump in the cost of living in recent years. While a small majority of Argentines still back Mr Milei, how long will they stick with him? James Menendez reports. Indonesian infrastructure has been getting an upgrade recently, helped along by hefty Chinese loans. One of the latest projects is Indonesia’s first high-speed railway, known as the Whoosh train. It’s a boost for the country’s green credentials, and it’s a pleasant, even luxurious, ride says Nick Marsh. But while the journey was smooth, the final destination was still a work in progress.
