Turkey marks the one-year anniversary of a devastating earthquake that killed more than 53,000 people

Turkey marks the the one-year anniversary of a devastating earthquake that killed more than 53,000 people.  We hear from people who are mourning their friends and loved ones, and others who lost their homes and businesses. Our correspondent also revisits the people she met covering the earthquake a year ago.

Also on the programme, we hear from Spain, the latest country in Europe where farmer protests are occurring. 

The US secretary of state Anthony Blinken is in Qatar. It's his latest whistle-stop tour of the Middle East and his fifth since the October seventh attack on Israel.  We hear what his priorities are on this visit.
