6:04 am
it's 6.8 on the scale, overactive and it was a deep in this about 8 kilometers into the deep into the, into the us. it was felt the through the cities of myra cash off i get to the office. so we uh, up until the city of casablanca and the capital city about the damage is the mainly in the old town of mark harris. this is the historical town of my cache, but also in the old town of cattle dance and where to visit the buildings of this old medina as, as we call them and a big that age is hundreds of years. i'm not built according to i'm faces like the moon's or, or, or regulations. so basically we have a concern, the reports, that's the story pool of the old. the town of the city,
6:05 am
of my case has been damaged in some of its volumes. there's also the mino, right? so for you most gold had a bush which is located in gem. i left not a landmark square where tours flow from all over the world that they may know rates of a powerful came down because of all of this s. busy and also in the towns of total dance and, and, and why that, as i said in the old box of this towns, uh, the old buildings and also in the villages. so the locations in these mountains have been, have been damaged on the demo, where a leader is arriving in india,
6:06 am
where the 1st day of the annual g 20 summit is kicking off. germany's olaf shows landed in new delhi for talks likely to be dominated by the one ukraine and the climate change crisis. us present, joe biden met with a the indian from listened to run from ody on friday by and reaffirmed his support for india to become a permanent member of the un security council. let's go live to our diplomatic editor, james base who is covering this g. 20 summit for us from you, denny. so 1st day of the meeting without the chinese and russian presidents present in new denny james. what can we expect as well? i think that is really the news here. the main news and probably with the main useful of the summit because the g 20 is supposed to be the for the brings together these most powerful leaders in the world. and yes, as you say, you have present, put a note here, perhaps that's understandable because of the international criminal court arrest warrant. he hasn't traveled outside, rushed out of pocket to get
6:07 am
a pop from to go to russian. occupied areas of ukraine bought the fact the president, she isn't here. that is the one that everyone is remarking on because it's showing these latest being to every single g 20 a since they became leaders meetings backed off to the financial crisis. and the g . 20 was upgraded in 2008. we know that there are difficulties and the relationship between india and china and suddenly somebody, india see this as a snap. but is it something more than that? the un secretary general has spoken in recent years of what he fee is, could be what he calls the great fracture. he says, that's a non competing of the world's economy, into 2 different economies, to different internets to different currency blocks. and what we have now is present, she in the last month in south africa center stage at the brook's summit. oh, we now beginning to see a division between the g 7, the us and the g 7 on china and the bricks is the world dividing into 2?
6:08 am
that is a point i put the last few hours to the the us like a general antonio guitars. i think there is a huge release of that to happen and i think that would be x to be negative for the world. the i m f is calculated. what is the negative impact of, of the coupling of the world economy. and these came to the conclusion that it would be a loss of $73.00 of us dollars. i mean, this is something we come to forward in the federal situation. we already leasing. we need one global markets with clear hoops. we need what global financial system, that's what it preserves today's world. when is when global free opening starting at the gate with groups. uh, but its importance that's that i know it will be very difficult to, to well to overcome the levels of ease trusted to they exist. that's easy. so important. that's the,
6:09 am
the most important follows and understand the need to negotiate seriously this that gives you general sat down with me for half an hour and yet you can actually see that interview in october to out to 0 program. all of that seem to be coming up a full 30 g m t. that's just on the 19 minutes from now. yeah. and we look forward to watching that phone interview, of course. now, james, how does the fact that the russian and chinese leaders are not in you, denny, how does that reflect on the host on the indian prime minister and the render emoji, and, and what issues they have for will be on the agenda of this to 20 as well, i'm in one of the big problems here. one of the big fractures in global relations and the facts is probably the biggest one by far right now is the war in ukraine. and i think that's going to be the of the difficulties, not the main subjects on the agenda. the main subject totally agenda are issues like climate change,
6:10 am
the global debt debt relief for the poorest countries. what to do about crypto card and see how to regulate that thinking about a i, but the war and ukraine is the one that's going to police the nice thing potentially this summit last year, the organizes when the g. 23rd and bought a cost of what was already on bad. they managed to come up with a fudge. they managed to come up with a final declaration that said, we condemn the war and ukraine, but not every member of the g 20 agrees with his position. well, so good luck ralph, who is here as the problem is, are russia representing president page? and he says he's not going to accept that sort of language. this time. i'm is a real danger that we're not going to get a final communicate for the 1st time out to the g 20. now, i'll be honest, final communiques. and normally when you read by academics, journalist policy walks and diplomats, they don't read by the general public. but the message of not having a final communicate will be a message of the g. 20 is paralyzed. and the message that the world is,
6:11 am
is more divided than that, but the, the, the, the slogan of, of, of this some age is one, a one family, one future. yeah, this is a family that the un secretary general told me is dysfunctional right now. james, thank you very much. shame spaces on to come out against their lives that the g. 20 summit in new delhi of columbia and mexico. i co hosting a 3 day on ty drunk summit, mexican president under his money and lopez of the drawer has just arrived in the city of connie, where he'll meet the columbia needed was to have a federal representatives from 15, not in american and caribbean countries, also participating in the conference. this comes as the cultivation of cocaine. is that an old time high in many countries? i see an upsurge in drunk violent. g o is alexander, i'm pity, is in kindly columbia where the summit was being held. the presidents of the 2 countries most affected by car sales, violence are pushing for the world to change the way they think about the,
6:12 am
the more on drugs that they believe that the were and drugs. it's been a failure that despite billions of dollars spent and hundreds of thousands of that little has been done at to dance at this criminal activity, they believe that the we're focusing is and the that that's with policies instead centered on human rights. the protection of the environment and dealing with drugs from the perspective of us health, the policy, all of this is being discussed in a stomach here in the city of kylie in columbia. and the 2 presidents will be here on saturday to receive the results of this assignment and make a call for the world. the idea is that this will be a roadmap or from your will be designed a roadmap for a future assignment that the presidential level across the last in america. one of the main issues is it'd be premium that a sedation of the weakest link in the chain, for example,
6:13 am
the growers of coke. i leave here in columbia now re focusing on going after the big criminal organizations. the question is obviously how to turn all these alternative proposals into complete solutions, especially for the people that have been suffering the most that through the war on drugs, allison that i'm 50, i just see that kind of a lot of we spoke to ha harris, triple is the director of sarah rock, a conflict analysis resource center in columbia. he says the move could lead to an increase in drug related violence. one has to be prepared and very many countries in the region. the 1st, or the dispute that the stipe office press or at focus on the, on the traffic or sunday and the end part of the trafficking. a chain one bring about a neighboring countries like it while are already seen the increase in violence and
6:14 am
most likely older region. most countries 19 central america and maybe argentina and brasil will start to see more virus coming out from these is price on the, on the traffic. you networks the war in ukraine, and for nearly every night. this past week, russia has launched drones against ukraine's green port facilities in the daniel river area. the attacks have highlighted devona bailey vulnerability of the green export road. rob mcbride reports from ukraine's odessa region. as along the one single road that connects the danube river ports with the rest of this vast country, that route trucks everywhere. when they know driving that part by the side of the road, observing local curfews and traffic restrictions to stop the road surface being
6:15 am
damaged in the heat of the day. waiting his ton to unload alexander co. c and co says the round trip can take days. but thousands of other drivers like him, like millions of that fellow citizens, this war has changed everything. so we don't know what would happen tomorrow or the day after ok. there's no clarity anymore. we want things back to normal and on. and so the mold in a month, the river port facilities have been the regular targets of russian droned, attacks, damaging ukraine's ability to export grain disability as got them. these kinds of talk perceive the face of exports. i don't think it will have a critical impact has to be quick, looked at on your are more of our export capacity with the tax on ukraine's major ports like a desa on the cancellation of the black sea rain deal, which had guaranteed safe passage for some ships the rail and road legs to the
6:16 am
danube area have become critically important. the don, you brute to use to account for only a tiny fraction of all the grain exported from ukraine. but now trucks come from all over the country, bringing more and more of its harvest destruction of facilities here would be a further blow don't totally to ukraine, but the world's food supplies of the apparent strikes by a rushing drone on the may, the inside of the boulder earlier this week has significantly raised the stakes given by maybe as membership of nato many and agriculture. hey, would like to see nato taking a tougher stand against the russian attacks. not the formulas more nato is quite capable of causing the skies at least over the deep area with a grain infrastructure he's located on it's a matter of political will, doesn't seem to have at the moment here. this is another potential flash point,
6:17 am
as nato looks to support ukraine without being thrown further into the conflict and seemingly determined to handle with cap. rob mcbride, al jazeera south, that that's the region you great. it's just gone past 315, g m t 4 15 am in morocco and a reminder of the breaking news out of morocco we're getting on al jazeera, at least 9296 people have been killed in morocco after his quake of magnitude 6.8 hit the center of the country late on friday, around 11 pm, local time. more than a 150 others have been injured. as you see here several videos show collapsed buildings, particularly in part of the old medina in the city of myra cache. let's speak to audra 0 is i've dealt with them and i'm ronnie who's on the line from casa blanca. the death toll has jumped dramatically in the last hour or so bring us up to speed
6:18 am
with the latest i've done with them. of one of the latest says the statement by the ministry of the 2 years, which is a preliminary one. first, given the 1st buttons for up to 2 o'clock in the morning to pick time. which means that the balance of 296 people killed because of this week as a balance or full. i was the because the, the quick start to go, what happened after 11 a 10 minutes past 11 p. m. roku time the, the, the, the, the, the, the statement, the same source, ministry of interior is listed and also the, the, the provinces damaged for a got that witnessed the, the main. uh, the main uh, the, the biggest, the damages in terms of, of people killed or building a building headphone collapsed. it's, we're talking about 6 provinces of the house. my case was a, as in nancy, show
6:19 am
a children's 5, sorry. and also for these 4 hours the, the, the number of, of injured people is about 25153. exactly. this is this a, this is great, happened in a mountainous region. the that the, the, the, the main, the main points of the, as quite the, in the center of the i with his, the, is a, is a, is a rural, rural, a. and this apology quote here, which is located to the south west of modification on a mountainous region. the height is about 2000 the 2000 teachers. and it was deep into the about each of them. it says that happened in a mountainous region. sorry to interrupt you, just to recap all everything for of us when it happened in, in a mountainous region, as you say, but it struck wide from robot to casa blanca. s a, we are
6:20 am
a number of cities affected the deaf. so right now, spending at $296.00 duty authorities expects that figure to rise for as i told you. yeah, i'd set the expectations here is that that this, this, this, this. ready would, would, would increase because even the statement itself says it's a state to, is a preliminary at 1st balance for 24 hours. but at least as i said, the provinces that are very close to the, to the center. that was a get that way back to directly. and by the f quick, the other parts of morocco robots gets up like a good year old is cities and towns people. they felt that the f wake. but nothing happened really there in terms of damage to building corps or casualties or whatsoever. and uh,
6:21 am
i can see right now as we speak this or this, the people that have regained their, their homes. okay. what's the case of the people of about a roughly 8000000 or 10000000 people on this 5 provinces. yeah, 5 across and boxes might direct to the affected and impacted of course by, by the earthquake 150 people injured so far. and people of course in panic, a lot of people as we see left and dashed out of the homes and so on. how well prepared is morocco to handle these types of disasters? i'm doing one at the, in, in 2004. the last biggest big is quick to happen to take place in myrtle happened in 2004 and the problem statement, which is okay just on the meeting to bring in an on demand and the bins ringing coast to the, to the northeast. extreme. northeast removal. co left uh hundreds of people did.
6:22 am
uh and, and $15000.00 people lost the whole actually, and the, it would be $46250.00 with them for the just since then the, the, the, the government defects through governments introduced into the low ties just make building for the new constructions in morocco about the problem in this problem says here is not the new building still been new to the modem was, is the old ones to own back to the market. the advocate called them again, this is, this is the historic spot of a city is like more like air. so, so then, so we're talking about cities who are hundreds of years old. so these buildings, even if they are being that the infrastructure has been reinforced recently, but they remain on the buildings historic ones. this is white. for instance. we have house of amena right of a most kids i'm out of state in my care. she didn't the, the that went down because of, of the stuff like this, this, you know,
6:23 am
it has been standing there for at least maybe 50 years or something like, oh oh, or so the, the, the, the, the historical which surrounds the old city of my cache also have, have been damaged in, in a lot of box. and then you have also the geography, the mountainous region, cool road. even the highway there, the paved ones are the dangers, the chairs, you can speed on, which might, uh, create a problem to, to the, to the risk, to, uh, to the risk to teams. right. even if we take into consideration that the royal jump out of memory is using its helicopter. so this is basically that the, the, the, the difficulty that the teams would be facing. yeah. to, to get to, to this with most villages. yeah. search and rescue teams will indeed face challenges in reaching these affected areas because of the terrain that i've done.
6:24 am
one of them, thank you very much for the update as the corresponding to morocco was telling us they're on the line from the accounts of blanca, a lot of damage, extensive damage after this flies quake struck morocco late on friday night, the interior ministry says at least 296 people have been killed. a 150 others are injured. and the off is that the death toll could rise further. of course, we'll update you on the situation in morocco as in when we have more information. after this earthquake struck the country late friday, us. in the meantime, let's move on to our menus and people in them. all. these are casting their balance to be like a new president. campaigning to pace across a nearly 200 inhabitants islands that make up the state. candidates from all the major parties and making promises for major projects despite a serious government debt burden. obviously are so many changes live from the multi capital malia now. so tony, tell us what's at stake in this presidential election?
6:25 am
well uh, i think for a lot of the old remote devens, they have been promised very extravagant gifts sold as one economist referred to to me. the other evening. extravagant land reclamation projects property the president . so he's been offering deeds massive the pay increases for public sector workers and the, even just that simply dropping penalties of parking fines. and i think to assess extensive, you know, there is a wealth of opportunity for those. is it, and they're getting that from all sides of the what the missing someone is, the reality of how the government of the mold these is going to handle this. they do have a very considerable national debt, which is pretty high. the national g, d, p. and that is the problem with these things take down the pop up for future
6:26 am
generations to do with i think there is a dawning realization that at some stage the most even government will have to deal with that issue at the same time. have you look around this time, you have a line of battles and you see huge development going on just the hospital. i'm with her away from here. there a bridge is going off. there's going to be a new pull, the bill, and the thing. there's also an understanding of them all these needs to dramatically invest in infrastructure to develop its economy. to do that, of course, it's having to look to rich, there are multiple powerful neighbors. and that's something about the tassel that's going on between india and china. are the current administration multiple favoring india, but the previous administration, now the political position had be very friendly with china who invested very heavily in infrastructure here. so there's a lot of voters has to think about, they are coming out on the streets, lots of people here, streaming in the polling stations of any being open for 30 minutes. clearly
6:27 am
a lot of people wanted to get the, the voting done, the full polls, the close. okay. whole p m, like the it is logistically, very complicated operation. there are more than a 1000 islands here, although the a 180 age of those are inhabited, but still elating the information the votes will be very complicated. that said, we hope to hear results by about 10 pm local time tonight. tony, thank you very much. and of course, we will checking with you throughout the day here on out, is there a ton of change life for us? that in molly at least 10 people have died and several others are missing. after heavy frauds, hip parts of grease, hundreds more have been rescued from flooded villages, electricity, gas, telephone and internet line to down shop owners say it could be months before they can reopen. john, swap the list right for some kind of the stuff. under the constant buzz of helicopters, the 500 and 21st marines battalion prepared to rescue people stranded in the
6:28 am
village of the motor affair. they were surrounded by 2 kilometers of water. some of it a story high. but they went. the 1st rescue is on the sea. locals broke the fishing boats and ferried people out to waiting tractor trailers, which local farm is brought here. and those they rescued told tales of woe. it was to give you a good, good bit of it. we were stranded for 2 days on the 1st story of a half built house above the water. we had water to drink but no food other than a couple of snacks. we crept from the house. there was sick people, elderly people, and children. the helicopters were operating, but they couldn't drop as a bus good. we waited for a boat and it came with one and 2 is we use those the problem to talk to people like the new off the roof tops, including the very old and frail over going to stay with relatives. subbing because the to but some were going as far as fm's could also keep those doors that
6:29 am
drove up from athens to take her. but she left with a broken heart or does she and i'm ready to start as a guest. the finds the getting into all my childhood memories turn to revel in seconds. the house where i grew up, it's all gone. jason, i went back to pick up my things to leave for athens at that moment it was collect . so is there a way to, to say good bye speed, the mega homes made of mode and stone like coopers dissolved in flood water within the neighboring village of from us. many homes were built of concrete and some people here decided to stay. volunteer farm is drove through almost to meet the water to bring them food and took the mobile phones to charge them elsewhere. because the village is without the electricity, the state surfaces and volunteers continue to the rescue operation into the nights . for the living there is now every hope of a timely rescue, but some volunteers have told us that they've seen many dead bodies through the
6:30 am
windows of flooded homes. the true test total of these apparently unprecedented floods may only become clear once the waters have receded. meanwhile, the survivors are beginning to tally what they've lost, that homes, livestock. this is crop of cold and coffee, and they say they'll need all the help. the government can give them to bring life back to this. i. gravity and economy jumpstart opal. us. i'll just here to category to the deadlines on algae 0 this hour at least 296 people have died in morocco after an earthquake of 926.8, struck the center of the country. more than a 150 others are injured. several videos show collapsed buildings, particularly in par.
