A baby was rescued from a collapsed building in Turkey on Tuesday as a third quake hit the country and the death toll passed 6,300.

Six-month-old Ayse Vera and his mother, Hülya Yılmaz, 30, had been trapped for 29 hours in the rubble of a block in Hatay, the epicentre of 7.7 and 7.6 magnitude earthquakes that hit southern Turkey and northern Syria in the early hours of Monday morning.
