BBC World Service - BBC OS, Turkey earthquake: One year on

We speak to people in Turkey one year after a deadly earthquake hit their country.

It’s exactly a year since two powerful earthquakes hit southern Turkey and northern Syria, killing more than 56,000 people and leaving millions displaced. In the hours and days after the quakes, our correspondent Anna Foster travelled towards the epicentre of where the earthquake hit. She joins us once more on the programme from Turkey to tell us what's happened since and we speak to people living there about what life is like for them now.

We get the latest from our correspondent on King Charles since he revealed his cancer diagnosis. We also get reaction from people who are living with cancer.

And why are so many elephants dying in Sri Lanka? Our correspondent tells us more. 

Presenter: James Reynolds
