BBC World Service - BBC OS, Turkey and Syria earthquakes: Aleppo

We hear how rescue efforts continue in Aleppo in Syria, amongst other areas impacted

More than 22,000 people are now known to have died after Monday's earthquakes in southern Turkey and northern Syria. Five days on we continue to hear from survivors, including those in Aleppo - a city already devastated by Syria's more than decade-long civil war.

We get the latest developments in the rescue efforts from across the affected region. 

We return to speak to some of the survivors we first spoke to at the start of the week, to hear how they are getting on.

We hear about the controversy surrounding the release of a major video game adaptation of Harry Potter game Hogwarts Legacy.
