A mother and son were pulled from rubble in Turkey by an international rescue team after a deadly earthquake struck this week.

Footage posted on Twitter by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department shows US emergency services working with other search teams to rescue the family members.

Hopes of rescuing survivors have diminished since the magnitude 7.8 earthquake occurred six days ago on Monday, 6 February.

At least 28,000 people have died in Turkey and Syria, where the quake hit.

The masterstroke that transformed Roger Moore from the worst Bond into an unforgettable 007
Roger Moore’s first film as 007 was very nearly his last. While the 45-year-old Londoner was shooting the boat chase in Live and Let Die (1973), he found himself on a collision course with a corrugated iron shed. Moore emerged, with a fractured tooth, not stirred but distinctly shaken – so much so that he’d soiled his trousers. Which is not very James Bond.

Russia close to achieving goals in Ukraine war, Putin's spy chief says
Russian President Vladimir Putin's foreign intelligence chief said on Tuesday that Russia was close to achieving its goals in Ukraine with Moscow holding what he said was the strategic initiative in all areas in the war. Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine has left tens of thousands of dead, displaced millions and triggered the biggest crisis in relations between Moscow and the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. "The situation on the front is not in Kyiv's favour," Sergei Naryshkin, the head of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), told Razvedchik, the official publication of the foreign intelligence agency.
