Turkey has been hit by another powerful earthquake.

Can someone help me summarize the content of the video please
Good show to learn vocabulary
I had to study synthetic phonics for my son as unfortunately his school (here in Egypt) still applies the old balanced literacy approach leaving kids to guess out on their own the sounds to letters correspondence.
I watched many teachers saying we should avoid adding the schwa souding to the initial sound of letters. So why do you say də if it is more precise to just say /d/?

I am very sad for Turkey, I am praying for all the victims.
Yeah, that's so sad that those things happend.😔
Corrupt politicians are most responsible for the disaster. Most people in Turkey are not aware of this and they think it's fate.
I watch you from Turkey and I am Syrian and I want to tell you that you are amazing. I enjoy listening to your programmes alot. Also I improved a lot since I started following you.
Calamity….
