Rescue hopes fade in Turkey and Syria
Hope and recriminations in the earthquake zone in Turkey; testing times in Nigeria as it prepares for elections; and the army of engineers racing to keep the lights on in Ukraine.
Pascale Harter presents stories from Turkey, Nigeria and Ukraine.
Lyse Doucet has been in southern Turkey reporting on the earthquake which has devastated towns there and in north-west Syria, and left more than five million people homeless. She describes how rescue efforts are now changing to a recovery mission as hopes of finding survivors fade - but among the ruins, there are still families hoping for a miracle.
Meanwhile, also in southern Turkey, Nick Beake says many people he's spoken to are angry about the scale of the disaster, and are beginning to ask the big questions: why did so many buildings collapse, who allowed this to happen, and what do we do now?
Africa鈥檚 most populous country, Nigeria, heads to the polls next week to elect a new president. The election is shaping up to be the most competitive since Nigeria鈥檚 transition to civilian rule 24 years ago and for the first time there鈥檚 a viable third-party candidate. Peter Obi, a former state governor, has been enthusing crowds of young Nigerians, a generation that until now has been disillusioned by Nigerian politics. But, as the 成人快手鈥檚 Mayeni Jones explains, this election comes at a particularly tumultuous time for the African superpower.
It's four months since Russia first launched a wave of drone and missile attacks aimed at destroying Ukraine's power grid. During the recent winter months, millions of Ukrainians have had to put up with regular power cuts, sometimes lasting for days. Paul Adams meets the army of engineers who are working around the clock to try to re-connect Ukraine's towns and cities.
