Episode notes

We haven't been able to get into this part of Syria for a very long time. It's hard to convey the absolute devastation, the object misery that people are living in over there. I've never seen a place where hope has been completely abandoned in such a dramatic way. People just look completely grief-stricken and shell-shocked," Riah says.

US inflation declined in January though less than expected, Turkey’s president faces a backlash for an amnesty programme that forgave faults in millions of buildings, and humanitarian aid is finally reaching shell-shocked Syrians after last week’s earthquake.
