Earthquake hits Turkey and Greece
A powerful earthquake has struck off Turkey's Aegean coast, causing deaths and floods
There has been a powerful earthquake off Turkey's Aegean coast, north of the Greek island of Samos. The 7.0 magnitude tremor is said to have centred off Turkey's Izmir province. Turkey put the magnitude of the quake at 6.6, with 20 buildings collapsing in Izmir. We get the latest.
Also, we talk about the aftermath of the suspected jihadist knife attack in Nice. The southern French city has been mourning for the three people stabbed to death at a church on Thursday. We look at the anti-French sentiment being expressed in several Muslim countries over President Macron’s stance on cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.
And with four days to go until the US election, we’ll speak at length to our correspondent Clive Myrie on his reflections after reporting in the state of Arizona this week. How will the issues of racism and policing, as well as the coronavirus pandemic, shape the way people there will vote? And how does the political discourse in America today compare to what Clive has come across as a correspondent at previous elections?
