please help us. there were people trapped under the rubble. there's no one helping, no assistance from anyone. we beg, you call the officials. we haven't seen one single ambulance yet with begging you send us ambulances. we need help. or we spoke earlier to andras, here is i've been with them. and i'm ronnie and he has more details about the quake . a powerful quake. a hip morocco at this center is located to the south west of the city of mara care should in a place called interviews, which is located in the high i plus mountains. and at the, this, the power of the it was a power from the law mates was, according to the moroccan geological institute. it's $6.00 on the scale of relative . and it was a deep in this about age, kill them,

which is into the deep into the, into the us. it was felt the through the cities of mara cash of good year 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 care, but also in the old town of cairo, dance and where to visit the buildings of this old medina as, as we call them in a big that age is hundreds of years. i'm not built according to i'm facing like uh, moons or, or, or regulations. so basically we have a concern, the report of, that's the story. more of the old town of the city, of my case has been damaged in some of its volumes. there's also the amino ready to

go for you. most gold had a bush which is located in jam. i left not a landmark square where tours flow from all over the world that they may know rates of a powerful chain down because of all of these s. busy and also in the towns of total dance and i'm, i'm the ones that, as i said in the old box of this town, the old buildings and also in the villages. so the locations in these mountains have been, have been damaged a well, it's not bringing all just errors. hashim, i have barbara who is from morocco and was actually in morocco just a few weeks ago, 2 weeks ago near the epi center where this earthquake struck caution. first of all, as have you been speaking to friends and family is in the region and you know, what are they telling you about the situation? i was talking the last few hours to friends who live that and it's fine. it gets

via fee on off the shock and they say that people are still searching for their loved ones and the level and some of the people i've been talking to say that they have lost some relatives in the us quick. i've been to the area many times in the past particular about 2 weeks ago and one of the biggest challenges that would be facing the rest to as of the all 4 of these we're talking about mountain this area as well. that it is bush on top of hills, the with built mainly from month bricks or stones. it's with very difficult to access the opposite of the us. and this was with take some time to be able to and i'll think we'd have to give it some time to day. so it gives a sense of the magnitude of the scope of the a quake. but he is, has been the epicenter of quicken. people say that the death to that is the highest, including every as blood. for example, if it is gold wheel with a gun, which is not far from that and other villages were talking about the vast attitude

this, this was so powerful to the point where people enter a bath in the capital, which is 470 kilometers north of metal, i guess fill the trend that's nice to discuss the blank and ton ton which is the very south of metal, i guess. yeah. yeah. did you say from robot to market a so we were a number of cities really hit and we seen pictures of panics, residents leading to the streets, searching for safety. obviously earthquakes are traumatic for moroccans because of what's happened in the past in 2004, but also the big one in the 1960 the, the big one. you gotta do 19191960 will. well, 120-151-5000 people were killed. we're basically looking at about one 3rd of the population of the city. it traumatized the nation and people most of americans were not born to live now were not born during the as quick but still the, remember the stories of the district,

massive destruction and the people who were killed during the quick plus b. s quick in the city. of jose, 92004600 people were killed. and this explains the, i've been talking to people just so what happened now when i go in my cash market? she's one of the most ancient cities, particularly the ancient head full to the ancient quarters of a of my gosh, what do you have? the famous medina and, and the most that they see people are still still outside the field to go back to their homes. that because it just be another off the show cuz i could just uh, how about you as impact on the, on the, on the old structures. yeah. we, we heard from the interior ministry about 2 hours ago. so the as quakes truck at 11 pm. and so there was a few hours where there was no communication of very little communication from the authorities. at 1st it was 7 dead. and then all of a sudden, 2 hours ago, we got this $296.00 figure, which is see it will be higher, you know, once day breaks. and, and, you know, the full extent of the quaking matches how well prepared moroccan authorities to

handle this type of crisis. you know, they, they do have infrastructure, they do have rest keywords, but it's going to be just really extremely difficult. it's a vast area. i know the area very well, you drive sometimes for 4 to 5 hours to get to a village, which is just about 10 kilometers away from where you are. it's, it's, you know, the high speed, you know of loss is a total cost which is 4100 meters above sea level. and most of those villages are situated to some, an altitude of 820-2000. 500 is you'll catch, for example, one of the areas which was severely hit in this us quake is in a very high uh location. so we take the all forwarded to some time to get to those places. i've been talking to people on the, i've been telling me that we are deploying people across those areas of accounting

that, that of the biggest concern now is those dropped under the rubble. someone told me that those who went to bed earlier, the other ones, the fia for lost their lives because they didn't have a chance to leave the therapy wake happened around 11 15 pm, and presumably some people would already have been asleep at that time. we've heard that at least a 150 have been injured so far, and that number likely to rise as well in terms of, you know, hospitals and facilities. how do they handle this type of situation in the whole, how well equipped all day. so now the, the area is about 50 kilometers uh from not guess which, which is one of the biggest cities in, in bronco with very advanced health uh facilities. so i would assume that you would see most of the in judge deployed to those hospitals in my like his 1st.

and then you have military hospitals in that city and casablanca and robots. the june donnelly, along with a security forces and the civil defense, a have already been deployed to many of those areas. but as i said, again, the influx that has one of those biggest challenges, it will take them some time to take it back to the american authorities to request for our side. how for international help. if this turns out to be something really in 2004, they did, didn't in that same today and it's, it's, it's still really, it's about the live am by them. yes. in. okay. i think it will, it would take them 1st of all, a day to be able to understand what happened. mm hm. and the scope and the magnitude of the quake and the ticket and moment they would do with their, with their, with north the step to the biggest concern with the be now the rescue. and that was

dropped under the rubble. of course, we'll keep a very close eye on the situation in morocco, the aftermath of this devastating earthquake which has scaled nearly 300 people. hashem. thank you very much. we will be, of course, uh, checking in with you throughout the day as you speak to friends and relatives, and people in morocco, uh, $296.00 people killed in the service quaking morocco, a 150 in good. we will continue to update you on the situation. of course, as more information becomes available over the next few hours as we want to out of world news. in the meantime, in the 1st day of the annual g, 20 summit is kicking off in new delhi. the meeting is expected to be dominated by the war in ukraine and the kind of crisis. as you can see, the indian prominence send a render emoji welcoming at the leaders who, arriving in new delhi today, not in attendance, is the part of the president of russia. vladimir fulton, and the chinese leader she. j. b, who have snapped the summit,

that's bringing on diplomatic as a jane space, who is covering the g 20 for us in new delhi. so 1st day without the leaders of russia or china, what can we expect change yeah, well as you say, that will arriving right now and remember it's not just the g 20 the invited countries as well effects shrink side of the united arrow beverage is the latest one to arrive here at the building and find the total of, of, of $45.00 most of k to expect to. and it's quite, i'm told is very difficult to organize logistics of this. so there is a sort of hierarchy of most of cases. well, with present bite and arriving just under now is time the last of the latest to arrive here. but as you say, present she present putting notes here. and that does not think costs down so on what g $20.00 space to achieve, because it's supposed to be the most powerful leaders in the world here at the same time. and certainly the un secretary general as boone,

about what he calls the great fracture the splitting of the world into 22 different rival currents is 2 different internet to different economies. and i put it to him that perhaps with president, she sent a stage at the brick summit last month. and not here. maybe this is already starting. maybe the world is dividing into the u. s. and the g 7 on one side and china and the brakes on the other. this is, this was his response. and 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 $73000000.00 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 homes. we need what global financial system

that's we presume. today's world, when is when global free openings are met, the gate with groups. but it's important, that's what i know it will be very difficult to, to well, to overcome the levels of mistrust. that's what they exist. that's easy. so important. that's the, the most important follows. and the stand, the need to negotiate seriously. why do you can see more of that interview? the sector general sat down with me for all, for now, just a few hours ago and will show all of that interview. and i'll talk to alex, is there a program that's a 40 a full 30 grad each mean time that's about 45 minutes from now. okay, thank you, james. for that now, i wanted to ask you about the issues which will be dominating this g 20 summit. what are we likely to hear about the most as well,

there's lots of issues. remember the jeep, the g twenty's predominantly i any kind of makes grouping. that's really why it was set top. so that really for poor countries around the world, that sort of thing that the, the idea of looking at some, the global financial system certainly view and we'd like to see big changes the currency that is a subject. terry will not be regulated more. there are plans that need full, that talked efficient intelligence will be discussed, the climate crisis will be discussed. but of course, the war in ukraine is the main problem, the main fracture in global politics right now, and that is going to cause some problems, i think, with the final can be the k. because last time around the body, they did a fudge this time around. so good luck ralph who's representing president putin. that says he doesn't want to do that again. anyway, he'll block, it communicate that has language to rush. it doesn't like that's

a big headache for the deal organizers here. james, thank you very much. i do for america is a james space live there at the g. 20 summit in new delhi. all right, we're turning now to our top story and the earthquake in morocco which has left at least 296 people dead and those quake that struck at 11 p. m. on friday night. let's get an update on the situation with the address here is i've done with him and i'm ronnie who's on the line from tay twan. bring us up to speed with the latest i've done. went in there as quick struck a few hours ago, and the full extent of the destruction and depths has not yet been revealed. yes, to, for the extent of the death and destruction has yet to be seen. because the statements by the ministry of interior is in yet the preliminary one is a full statement and that was issued for the, for the period from the moment that issued the balance up to 2

o'clock in the morning meeting. it's a, it's a balance for only 4 hours after, after the wake had got a pot of morocco and that we're talking about 6 provinces, or all located in the atlas, the mountains, regions in the center of morocco, uh, around the city of, of myra cache. and the center is located in a village called easy live, which is located to the south west of my cache, uh on that on top of the mountain on a height of about 22002000 meters. uh the, uh, uh, rest to change of still, you know, working i'm trying to get a sure to, to, to make sure that there is nobody left under the levels. but the problem is the

geography and the region. we're talking about the 6 provinces. mountains problem says mountainous region with a population of about roughly 8 to 10000000. i would say that people a lot of them and, and, and were areas who are live in basically a from, from, from, from ecological tourism. right. so uh, and there was also a big, a great deal of people concentration in, in places plus you have the old pops of the city is like my cache. what does that we have talking to you about about a traditional was also the town own cities for the parts of the city is dating back to hundreds, hundreds of years. and this buildings in this, in the city, even if they have been we some of them, some of us have, has been with a, i've been rehabilitated recently, but still they are not built right. in accordance with they was a year,

i think just make it was under the nation. yeah. i've dealt with them. let me ask you about um, search and rescue. because you mentioned how difficult that was going to be. it's still a night time now. what was going to be early morning, very soon in, in morocco and you mentioned it will be difficult because of the terrain in the region with us quakes truck, uh, what sort of, um, preparations, i mean will how well prepared on moroccan authorities and, uh, you know, emergency closed with such a situation, do they have the means of technical tools to access these areas in the middle? can of course use, uh they have, uh they, they have the tools they have the leg rely, and basically on the, on the, on the, on the tools, a news and the equipment of the voyage in danbury, which is, which is the, the, the, the, the, the the power military, coups and in charge of, of, of security and, and, and, and the risk you in the world is in the mountainous regions. so it's

a cool that has had a cup to is plain spots of sponsors pull to planes, etc. right to the, of course, all of them. the difficulty right now is not, it's not the means. it's that it's that still, it's still my time my, when it was still have about a couple of hours before daylight. yeah. yeah. and then and then, and then as i said that the geography were talking about us could do it. no, totally, no, totally. the real. so even the page. well, it's a very sloppy, great vendor. so you can, you can type it's so this as a difficulty to the, to the, to the, to the very nature of, of, of the region. so it's, it's a race against, against time to try and, and, and, and those 2 people. but in the meantime, uh, there is a sense of, you know, it makes sense amongst the people there of, of hope. right, and, and share, right. busy that, that maybe the, the, the,

the balance would be, wouldn't be bad than the one announced right. but also fear because they don't know what, what, yeah. see it either. do you have a desktop or dry's because it happened late at night at 11 pm. why don't people drive and go to the next slide, the drive the magically? yeah. ready if we, if we, if we trust the, the words of the, of the director of the geology constituents, the, the, the, the general and marshal john's company because of more up on said this is the, the, the big just for the strongest that's going to a local and the 100 years right? is the people of course, the earthquake as he said, struct wide. i mean cities like mar cash robot, the capital. they felt 80 nessa, we're as well. and people like just fled their homes and, and you know, fed to the streets. do you know if many people are still outside at this time or have a return to their homes?

the people in rebec blanca haggerty or so we have uh uh they are far away from, from, from, from the 6 provinces. that with that where the, where the directly impacted by the, by that so they, they, they felt the quake, but now they come back to their homes and nothing happened to them except a few of course, but the, the, the most impacted regions of those 6 provinces located more or less around the city of my case in this mountainous region. and i, i, i've been told by a lot of smoking sources, but some of the people, the families that have a preferred to, to stay outside tu, tu, tu, tu, to sleep outside to sleep and shelters. or in, in the streets, waiting for the day lights my go back and see what they can, what they can do with their, with their whole have done with them. do you have information about the damage to,

to infrastructure, the damage to buildings, the damage to building, as i said, for instance, in this, it's basically in the fall, in the old cost of the cities, especially the, the, the, the details. we have a concern about my case and why does that and total dance. we don't have more details and i'll dive was areas. and that's, that's because as i said at of the old uh they were talking about, oh, to about hundreds of years old buildings. so for instance, there is in the range of a most, in, in, in general from out this, this, this landmark square that to which torres flow from, from around the world house of it came down because of the, because of that last week the, the, the historical that surrounds the all city of records that was about 30400 years ago also has suffered a lot of damage, a lot of bunch of things out. and of course,

if this is more that's time that's been standing there for 3 or 400 years has been damaged. you can, of course, you can, of course, one only can imagine what happened to the, to the house was kind of on inside. inside that's, that's the 16. it'd be young about full of dental whenever we are going to be leaving there for now. thank you very much for updating us on the situation in morocco. of course we will be checking in with you every hour to find out the latest as of now for our view as we are just joining us. uh, breaking news out of her uncle. i this saturday morning when it's quick, late friday night, 11 pm local time has killed nearly 300 people, 296 to be more precise. according to the interior ministry, which made the announcement about 2 hours ago, a $150.00 people have been injured but they off is the death. so could dry spot further. as a daybreak send, the authorities are able to gauge the extent of the damage. we will, of course,

update you on the situation in morocco, in the aftermath of the sort of quick as and when we have more information available as the and the war. and you create 9 russian authorities at holding local elections in ukrainian territories under the control. russia defended the process during the un security council meeting on friday. the us and out of western nations condemned the elections as a sham and a tremendous states to reject the results for students and only has more from you in headquarters in new, in the united states came to the un security council to make a point, we're going to condemn those sam elections in here this morning. and we will never recognize any of these elections on ukrainian occupied territory. the us, along with albania, called the meeting to discredit elections currently underway and for russian control regions in ukraine. the voting is to select local candidates to the russian

installed legislatures and coincides with elections currently happening in russia. russia's and bassett are insisted ukrainians were exercising their right to self determination. then go to a given the situation. it is the in humane crimes of the key of regime, and it's a maniacal, hopeless desire to deprive the russian people of the russian identity that became the main reason due to which the residents of don't ask lou haskins, that for easier are actively and consciously voting for their future together with russia. but the un agrees with western nation saying that russia's annexation of ukrainian territory is a legal and that the elections have no validity under international law. and the majority of un member states agree. back in 2020 to 143 countries in the general assembly condemned russia for a similar round of illegal referendums as ukraine's and bassett. or reminded the

gathering friday in the security council. we call on the international community to condemn the use of the russian election system on the territory of another state. but this year the council took no action as last year's attempt to do so was vetoed by russia. christian salumi l just ear of the united nations. at least 10 people have died in several levels are missing. after heavy floods have parts of grease 100 more has been rescued from shredded villages, electricity, gas, telephone and internet lines. a down shop owners say it could be months before they can reopen. john strapless reports that under the constant buzz of helicopters, the 500 and 21st marines battalion prepared to rescue people stranded in the village of them up there. 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 wait in tractor trailers, which local farm is brought here. and those they rescued told tales of low english to give you a good good bit of it. we were stranded for 2 days on the 1st story of a half built house. i thought the whole time 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 the boss get the. we waited for a boat and it came with funding t is we use those bit relevancy is plus people like what was your 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 athens and also keep those doors that drove up from athens to take her. but she left with a broken heart or to see and i'm ready to start as it gets the, find the innocent. all my childhood memories turn to revel in seconds. the house where i grew up, it's all gone. jayce,

when i went back to pick up my things to leave for athens at that moment it was collection. is there a way to, to say good bye speed, the mega homes made of mode, and stone like coopers dissolved in flood water. but in the neighboring village for the most, 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 continued 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 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 their homes, livestock.
