earlier i spoke to safety and risk expert gold in taipei i asked him just how bad the damage is after that quick. well unfortunately because the quake occurred in the middle of the night it took a number of hours to get a better assessment so as the time went by after the quake and as we reached the white this morning in taiwan about eight hours ago it became apparent that not only had buildings collapsed but there are rock slides that are blocking roads there are a number of bridges that are damaged and impassable over rivers in sri there's a number of water pipes that have broken causing some flooding there's also ask pipes that broken causing gas leaks so in addition to the building collapse there is a lot of infrastructure damage as well. now a safety in recess russ feingold there talking to us a little earlier from taipei now smaller stories making news around the world today the u.s. house of representatives has passed a bill to prevent a repeat of last month's government shutdown it extends funding for federal agencies until next month and must now be approved by the senate thi

the latest from taipei on the earthquake that happened earlier today. the relationship between turkey and the united states is close to breaking point. for almost three weeks, the turkish military has been attacking kurdish fighters in syria, who were armed by the us, incensing turkey. it's the latest step in a confrontation that's pitting two key nato members against each other. 0ur turkey correspondent mark lowen reports. sport is friendlier than politics by a long shot. turks and americans training together in an istanbul american football team. the rivalry here is amicable, the queen —— between their countries less so. the nato allies are at each other‘s throats over syria, politics, human rights, and even suspending the visas last year. the relationship in crisis feleti. the political climate, currently, you don't know what is going to happen. i think the leaders of both countries have quick triggers, in terms of temperament, as seen with the visa ban. we have two individuals leading two big countries with this type of mentality you can't pre

cindy sui, bbc news, taipei. the government has promised to improve the conditions of millions of workers in the so—called gig economy. ministers say there'll be higher fines for firms that breach contracts or mistreat staff. the move is part of the government's response to a review of modern working practices — but unions say the measures don't go far enough. nina warhurst reports. times have changed. tom has around 30 full—time employees like paddy. he gets sick and holiday pay. and around 20 workers like this tom, he's self—employed and has to save for rainy days and holidays himself. following today's announcement, the boss will have to be crystal clear with all of his staff on where they stand. if we are moving towards a situation where it is made clearer to employees what their rights are and what their entitlements are, i think that is something that can only be good for both the employee and for the business. there are up to 5 million people working on a job byjob basis rather than as fully employ
