Turkey-Syria earthquakes: Syrian refugees return home

Syrian war refugees who fled to Turkey are returning home after last week's earthquakes.

ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ to more than four million Syrian refugees, Turkey has greatly tightened its border controls over recent years. Some refugees are now lining the border crossings and say they are going home because they no longer have anywhere to live in Turkey following the earthquakes. It follows reports that Turkey will relax immigrations rules. Our correspondent in Turkey, Caroline Davies plus Emre Temel from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Turkish Service gives us the latest updates.

We also hear from Deborah Swann, a nurse from the UK who has spent a week in Turkey helping to rescue people from underneath the rubble.

Ethiopia's government signed a peace deal with forces from the northern Tigray region last November, in a bid to end a brutal two-year civil war. But aid groups and locals have told the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ that attacks on civilians - in particular, sexual assaults on women - have continued. We speak to our correspondent who's been investigating this.
