War in Syria and Turkey's 'autocratic' regime hamper international relief efforts • FRANCE 24

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan admitted for the first time Friday that his government's search and rescue effort from this week's devastating earthquake did not go as quickly as hoped. Erdogan has faced criticism from the quake's survivors about an insufficient number of rescuers and humanitarian aid being delivered in the first days of Turkey's biggest disaster in nearly a century. For more on international relief efforts amid a "political earthquake," joining FRANCE 24 is Marc Pierini, Senior Fellow at Carnegie Europe and former EU ambassador to Syria and Turkey.
