Jon Kay and Sally Nugent were back to host BBC Breakfast on Tuesday.
BBC Breakfast host Jon Kay opened Tuesday’s show with some “devastating” news. He said, “Good morning, welcome to Breakfast with Sally Nugent and Jon Kay.”
Sally Nugent continued: “Our headlines for you today. 10s of thousands of foreign students are warned they will be deported if they ever overstay their visas, but opposition parties want the government to go further.”
Jon went on, “After the devastating earthquake that left 800 people dead in Afghanistan, the UK provides £1million in emergency funding.”
Later on in the programme, Sally and Jon spoke with Jeremy Smith from the British Red Cross, who provided further insight into the devastation in Afghanistan.
He told Jon, “People are scared, there have been significant aftershocks.”

“Access remains our biggest barrier,” he explained. “We’ve had teams who have been unable to access areas by car.
“They have been forced to travel on foot, and most of the search and rescue work still continues with the basic tools until we can get more earth-moving equipment in.
“We have also been scaling up our health response. We have had five health teams move into the area. But we know that this is just a fraction of what is needed.”
He added, “People are refusing to go back to their homes, very understandably. The situation remains very dire and very critical.”

Speaking about how the tragic event unfolded, Jeremy said, “These houses basically collapsed while people were sleeping. It was midnight local time.
“Our colleagues are seeing a lot of destruction; they are seeing a lot of challenges getting into the more remote areas.”
He went on to mention they had suffered torrential storms just the week before the earthquake happened.
BBC Breakfast airs daily at 6am on BBC One.
