We speak to aid workers about the aftermath of the earthquakes

We speak to aid workers about the aftermath of the earthquakes.

One month on from the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, it's estimated that a million and a half people are still sheltering in tents. We speak to our correspondent, who was one of the first to report from the quake-hit Turkey, and has been back in the area. We also hear from aid workers who share what they have witnessed on the ground. 

We find out why the Seychelles has the highest per capita usage of heroin in the world. We speak to a former heroin user and to our reporter who has been investigating.

Afghan universities open today but women are still barred by Taleban authorities. We hear from male and female students about the situation.

Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has described a chain of suspected poisonings targeting Iranian schoolgirls as an "unforgivable" crime. Our colleague from BBC Persian has the latest.
