BBC World Service - Newshour, More than 2,000 dead in Turkey and Syria after major earthquakes

A rescue operation is underway across southern Turkey and northern Syria

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

A rescue operation is under way across much of southern Turkey and northern Syria following two major earthquakes that have killed more than 2,300 people. The death toll is expected to rise as rescue operations are still ongoing. We’ll hear from eyewitnesses and a seismologist.

Also in the programme: the trial for the largest national security case in Hong Kong begins; and we’ll look at the rise in the use of private jets as a global private aviation conference is held in London today.
