Rescue Hero Honoured

Mexico has paid tribute to a “heroic” rescue dog who died, crushed by rubble while searching for survivors buried beneath the rubble of the earthquakes in Turkey. The dog - a German Shephard named Proteo - was one of more than a dozen deployed by Mexico to assist in the disaster response efforts.

Meanwhile the death toll from the devastating earthquakes that struck Turkey and Syria has surpassed 41,000.
