BBC World Service - Newshour, Turkey earthquake: Rescue effort ends in all but two areas

Turkey is ceasing rescue efforts almost two weeks after a massive earthquake

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

Turkey has ended rescue efforts in all but two provinces, almost two weeks after a massive earthquake killed tens of thousands of people, the country's disaster agency said.

Also in the programme, tensions remain high after Moldova's president accused Russia of plotting to use foreign "saboteurs" to overthrow her pro-EU government.

And the head of the European Trade Union Confederation speaks exclusively to Newshour about her dramatic expulsion from Tunisia, after she took part in a union demonstration in the city of Sfax.
