Appalling scenes in Turkey and Syria as rescuers continue to search for earthquake survivors.

Around 23 million people are thought to be displaced after the two 7.8 and 7.5 magnitude quakes in southern Turkey and the death toll has now passed 6,000.

President Recep Tayyp Erdogan has declared a three-month state of emergency in the ten worst affected provinces.

Europe correspondent Kay Oliver told Kate Hawkesby it's a dangerous and dreadful rescue mission.

She says tremors are continuing, and help is very limited as people are spending a second night out in freezing conditions.
