We bring updates on the situation in the areas in Turkey and Syria that were partly destroyed by the earthquakes. Also, an aid worker speaks to us from the port city of Latakia in Syria.

President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria has tried to calm the tensions over lack of cash and announced that some old Naira banknotes can remain in general circulation for another two months. We hear from people in Lagos who are trying to locate Naira banknotes.

We speak to a father and his daughter about her viral Tik Tok video that helped to boost sales of the book her dad spent 14 years writing and next 11 years hoping for the thriller to take off.

We talk about the title race in the English Premier League.

We explain what the Tik Tok videos with #GymCreep or #GymWeirdo are about. We also talk about a new trend on social media called "deinfluencing".
