now he's going to increase as well, but changes to our ecosystem become visible 40 to 50 years later, but it's already too late. bite the chances of reversing it nearly impossible. the search for survivors in the arrival officer, a powerful us quite consent from morocco kills more than a 1000 faithful. many of those tests are in how to reach mountainous areas. it's more of cause worst option disaster. in that case, the times time is a them, this is i'll just say we're live from the hall. so coming up g, 20 leaders in new delhi, agree on a joint declaration, mentions the war and ukraine, but avoids naming russia. and presidential polls close in the island nation of them

all. these will have an update. the we stopped in morocco. what a powerful as quite because devastated its central legion. well, the 1000 people are dead. many more have been injured. officials are reporting significant and widespread damage across several areas. well, this was the moment, the magnitude, 6.8 from a strong lights on friday evening, sending people running for their lives. the trying to hit some 70 columbus to the south of the popular tourist city. of america, the shocks were felt as far away as the coastal cities of robots, casablanca, and the swat. uh, it's the worst is austin. morocco has seen the molten 20 is shown on the bottom. it begins coverage. all is off to the power for earthquake strike smooth welcome. the

skate of widespread devastation is now imagine flats in houses and streets that resemble it was own. model cache is the closest may just say to the, at the center of the quake. rescue workers who have worked through the night continue to look for people trucked until the level of the cut over. there are several areas still out of weak and people who are desperate. the middle please. she doesn't look, we need help. we need helicopters in a and the roads are close and we can't drive. we need help to get people from under the rubble of stuff to the lock and my parents, the effect is necessary to get help with that. we cannot continue without water or electricity. so we're looking up, the roads are blocked. we only wants to get our parents out of the house, but we could ne gibson, pull up the bottom. it began a little past 11 the local time on friday night. when many more watkins were out. this is the moment when the quick struck sending panic stricken people out on the

streets. many of those with jolted from the athlete, binds of deputies from flattened houses of collapse, buildings lined while ones residential areas. a despot search for loved ones began so not to limit the video posted online shows the mother's trying to reach her children. i know what it's like on the the number that is rising. you saw but muted to confuse johnson, we dispatch a number of security teams and rescue operation to various effected areas. we urge all citizens to stay comp denser and ministry will update the public later more. i mean the, the us geological survey says the epi center was in the outlets, mountains, some 70 kilometers south west of america, cash. there are reports of damage. amount of caches, oldtown, a, u. n weld, how it is signed. the quake was also felt as far on way as the coastal cities of

bodka blanca and this all wheel. and many people spent the night out on the streets was gone and checked, who was at the house, rooked, aggressively everywhere. i was scared and i was shocked. i didn't understand what was happening. i thought it was only my house that was moving because it's fraudulent, only. i heard people screaming. everyone went out of the houses to the street, which were full of people's and women screaming hospitals. the amount of our kids are treating hundreds of injured people. now, many a worried about the risk of off the shocks in the coming days and weeks hush, blah blah, blah. and just the, uh yeah, i spoke to ash him. i had a bottle of explains the number of casualties will rise as rescue is reach remote various, it is worth taking the government sometime to be able to get a complete fix it of what happened. and i think this explains why we're getting these numbers for the increasing of the pharmacies are saying that the army has

been deployed with specialized units to try to rescue those trucks under the rubber . it's going to be extremely, extremely difficult situation. i think the w, i chose saying that something like 300000 people could have been impacted by this. do we have any idea how many of that number might be still trapped under the rubble? let's see if this is the thing because we're talking about the village is to be able to drive to those villages. i myself drive to those villages and it takes me sometimes 7 hours to drive just for 35 kilometers. that would love to, to rain very extremely difficult to get access to and the thousands and thousands of local community people living in local communities and these desolate bound to this areas. obviously the consent, the concern is, is how many people are still trapped on the, the blah, blah. and how many buildings have been severely compromised because of this of quake? and if i can add to that, what happens to the people who survive this now you and i will remember when we

covered the devastating us quakes and took care in february. one of the early, the challenges that we faced, and many people faced in that is awesome, was basic things like finding water. this has went to the beginning of the season in, uh, morocco. the obvious thing that it has set up the 1st max of hospital in the area. the tellers would be just set up, makes shift tons in those areas or move people to a temporary shelters. how to wait and see the number of people affected in those areas. if we're talking about thousands, the photos will definitely have to sit the immediate tendency of those areas to cope with a growing number of the people at this place. because of the quick and this explains why they are far as i'm appealing on people, for comps, things i've out doing that best to try to cope with. the magnitude of this of quick caroline halt is the global director of operations for the international federation

of red crossman red present societies joins us live now from geneva. good to have you with us. so tell us a little bit about a deaf. it's all of a reaching all of the devastated areas, but thank you for inviting me to to speak with you today. um, all right, i was reaching all those areas. no, no. yeah, absolutely not. this is a very early stages of calls on the of a search and rescue response. we know that efforts will be complicated because these are the initial i was, this happened the nighttime when of course, people were maybe you sleep in the beds or thinking about that. and so it was daylight broke this morning. we really starting to see the impact of the quite on the phone right now. and the next 48 to 72 hours will be critical in terms of life saving, search and rescue efforts will be absolutely prior ties and power. lot of calls with making sure that zones that didn't survive all taken care of in terms of that

basic needs. so i think you will see that need a, a industry channel. all that will be able to support that will, that will already be arriving. of course, through the rural can go sometimes i'm the, i'm the sort of internal agencies on the ground, but it's more and more as the needs start to unfold. i think we'll see quite and must have 8 access also being required here. okay, you mentioned that the rest of those haven't been able to rachel? yeah, definitely hasn't been able to reach every right. what's holding people back. is it the terrain? is it just simply the distance? this is quite a vast area in the vast areas. it's been impacted of course, but yes, as you say, i'm as your report alluded to that actually a lot of road rainbows, villages up in the mountains that have also been impacted. of course, the very nature of another quite means the transportation rooms impacted immediately that 4 roads will be blocked. it will be necessary to organize heavy

machinery to make sure that those rooms are clear. not only that, that will cause communication would also have been impacted on this electricity wouldn't be impacted as well. so the complications in these early stages cannot be underestimated on the, the, the, the size of the task ahead of us is, is huge. what it's the ability of aid agencies now to provide some of the desperately needed things in the early stages of another . quite people need shelter those of survive. they need clear clothing, if they're off in the mountains and it's getting cold, the food, warm food, volts, and things like that. exactly. unfortunately. or where, where else are you familiar with these things? certainly remember back in february with the took in a serious point. so we know certainly what to expect,

and we know that they will be necessary to prioritize those items. reduce is used to take care of people, making sure that they are in a safe space because the risk of off the shots is extremely rail. and the building that will have been damaged, but maybe not the full and then the initial quade, you could well be susceptible to uh, to full angle. also the damage, as i have to show, cuz i felt in the region. so it's really about moving people away that have survive, but that search and rescue window. we know, unfortunately on the last for a certain number of days we do see is a very inspirational time on the, on the, on the time of great hope we, we hear of many rescue efforts being successful. and we can only hope that that's already happening now, and that we're getting some success stories. but of course the, the, the government, the relevant ministry is the, the army and the civil defense are also working on the ground. and of course, i remember the american red prisons which represents one of the national decides, is that we work with globally are also on the ground and really supporting that assets. that's the case of supporting with the body management. that's the case of

supporting with getting people creating a safe was making sure that we don't create a disaster within the disaster. as um, as, as hygiene factors really need to be uh, needs to be maintained. you also points out very well, even though that during the day the temperatures to me on the lower lines gets up to 30 degrees plus in the higher areas in the higher mountain areas. people will be exposed to extreme temperatures and making sure that people have access to basic shelves so to protect them from the elements will also be a critical part of outlook. yes, it's certainly i've been through this that region a does get cold. those get difficult up there. what about communication? um, have you been able to establish communication just to assess what needs exist and where with very much in touch with the american red crescent on the ground. so yes, in schultz, we are able to communicate to a certain extent,

but of course that communication is patchy because we have seen communication impacted by this. we're seeing some of the initial needs going forward. and as you saying this isn't, yeah, i think you really need the ability to communicate with some of the devastated areas. i'm in the for my time covering this quite often in so okay. that that was certainly a challenge sometimes just to be able to, to communicate with some of these villages and find out what is the condition that pictures of the claim were coming up to the 24 hours after the event itself. and the picture isn't clear, right? now we need access by that we need access to be restored and we need, as i said, to get these heavy machinery pieces and so that we can start to clear the road. but that picture in terms of what happened and the more remote and hard to reach places is a, it's really only dripping into is that the minute because communications been so badly affected as an international effort coming together to provide some of the heavy machinery. there's been a lot of solidarity already shown from, from many internationally i'm certainly we,

the ration here are in the process of releasing emergency response phones so that we don't have to wait for appeals to be launched. it's the early days of the government, and of course we'll know that we'll be talking with the ministers with all the actors that are already on the ground and making sure the coordination of those particular pieces is happening well. coordination is one of the most important things our time like this with, hey austin, confusion is routing anyway. we need to make sure that there's a, there's a well coordinated approach to understanding what the needs on that was to ask and reach out full of that support in the end, addressing them. all right, thanks so much. we'll leave it there. thank you very much. less than had that is a moroccan center. so and full administer is as far as who's the responding quickly despite many challenges, a very, very strong earthquake in a place that is not known for being uh, active in terms of her, its quakes. its the high up plus mountains. uh so uh, the in very difficult to rein way that is the epi center which is like the pass

between modification teladvantage called the t the t as in test passwords that are all of those villages, which i just got again and, and, and the other than usual cutting all the others. so we, i mean, like i think the moroccan apologies out of just a get monitoring the situation counting did that seem then might be the magnitude of the destruction that is happening around the risk you when people are getting them to a lot of cash. the be the hospitalization modification which is the closest town what the closest city do you have getting people there? i think that has been a call to give blood in that in my cache because that a lot of people, a lot of enjoy the night thing to unfortunately 632 out of the at a given the magnitude we wouldn't see i would like what what brought me like, how many people like, i mean, i've trapped within that rather than with rescued, whether there would be live or out of that. but it's, it's confined,

although it has been felt in places like casablanca and robots and other places. but it's confined within a center, which is south east of america. so the other house province is the province that it is most. but also when you cross the mountains towards the south west through fine settled, then that's also come use on that either side of the mountains, you fix it to the east of the the what does is that area that are villages which are affected and towards the west, which the show of province dot effects. it's after the same uh, earthquake in 2004 has put together this kind of make up land for erupted intervention whenever there is this guy to say. so teams have been ready for any kind of thing. and this is the moments when did deployed that, so each province has its own kind of risk to your logistics, to deal with 1st kind of situation. but there is also

a national intervention that is taking place in order to reach those people in. the lead is meeting at the g 20 summit to the indian capital, new daily have agreed a joint declaration, despite differences on the conflict and ukraine. the communique ones against the use a full so territorial acquisition, but avoids direct mention of russia both moscow and key of words to ensure global deliveries of grain and other food products on climate. there was no coal to phase out fossil fuels and the statement, but lead is did a search for a substantial increase in climate investment, including crippling renewable energy capacity worldwide. and the host stations needed and rendered id formally invited the 55 member african union to join the g 20 let's get more ways, katrina, you,

who's live for us from new delhi. so this was a final communique that took quite a bit of negotiating. right? that's why it was a days of hard one negotiation and it was full by many that they would not be able to reach a consensus given the deep divisions over the brain. but indian, they did have this, a collective lead. his declaration in the language around the conflict was quite weak. it's clear that they're really tip toeing around russia and trying not to offend it, especially since most ago threatened to block any mention of the invasion. so we have no condemnation whatsoever of what most ago has done in ukraine, just really general language. so saying that each member states had a differing view and that they would go back to the views that were had already been conveyed in previous un forums. it said it was a gets generally any use of fools in acquiring new territories,

something by the way and that most do 20 members agree that russia has already done . it also said the use of nuclear weapons was inadmissible, and had the caviar that the g 20 is not the right platform for resolving the security issues though, there was this clear and strong line that today's era ms not be one of who. now moving on from the ukraine conflict and blend door to talk about the issues really at the heart of the sea is g 20 summit, that there is a debt restructuring, other economic issues including tackling the climate crisis. now, although it was acknowledged that much needs to be done to help and nudging economies do with massive levels of debt that they're struggling to, to really handle especially post pandemic. there wasn't any clear path around that . we did see the some more concrete agreements around climate financing, but the groups agreeing to 8 annual full trillion dollar funds to help accelerate the transition to renewable energy and 6 trillion dollars before 2030 to help poor

countries meet their missions targets. and we also saw some bold moves when it comes to admitting the african union into the block. right? that's right. it's quite a milestone is the 1st time a new member has been admitted to the g. 20. now group of 21 since 1999 and it was an announcement very much welcomes by the african unions. $55.00 members states and treating south africa, which was previously the only african menda of the g, 20 a success and told out 0 area that the groupings simply cannot. now go forward ignoring the concerns of 1000000000 people. it's hope the new member states of the a you will do 2 things. one, make the g 20 grouping a more balanced. one more representative, not only of leach will powers but also of poor at nations and the issues that match it to them. and it's also the hopes that it will really revitalize discussions

around debt restructuring, as well as tackling climate change. and these for nations. right, we'll leave it back. thanks so much. katrina, you still ahead on al jazeera. the more fine thing is about a sending refugee camp 11 and beyond the schools on arrival functions to seize file the the challenges here with the

the, [000:00:00;00] the a come back. you're watching out. is there a time to recap on headline? more than a 1000 people have been killed in morocco in the west coast quite to hit the country into decades. the magnitude 6 points, a ton of splunk flights on a busy friday night anymore. been injured, but getting to some of the hardest hit have is,

would be difficult because of the areas geography. officials say there's been significant and widespread damage across several regions. lead is main thing at the g 20 summit in the indian capsule, new delhi of agreed to join the declaration, despite differences on the conflicts and ukraine, but communicate williams against the use of force, a territorial acquisition, but avoid direct mention of russia. a lebanon's kind of take a prime minister has told the palestinian president, fighting between bible fractions of the island highway camp. dozens of the palestinian cause they gave me coffee, says the escalation of violence between palestinian um groups. but the and the most, the news is a grave risk. philip and then 2 sides had agreed to cease 5, but 5 interrupted again on saturday morning 3 people have been killed. is that

a whole that has mall for millions of headway? this is a one square kilometer account worth tens of thousands of people live. you can hear the sound of gunfire. tens of thousands of palestinian refugees live here. they live in missouri. they are poor people. if they do not work today, they cannot put food on the table. we've been speaking to people inside the camp. they're hiding in their homes. their children are scared of yesterday i manage to flee and are now taking shelter in a nearby moss. but many others are, it's very difficult to to leave, it's very hard because even ambulances are coming under fire. so people are, are worried, they're feeling the worse because there's no deals is read them this, there could be, you know, a military showdown that could cause a lot of casualties. and we've seen that happen before 11 on more than 10 years ago . and the power has to be in a camp in the north of the country. and so this is why people are worried that the

worst is yet to come. what we understand is another meeting is being held as we speak. and the palestinian factions are trying to iron out some sort of an agreement to cease fire agreement, but it will not be easy because the fact that movement is demanding that the muslim use hands over 8 assassins. people believe to be responsible for killing a senior, a commander of the most of them use this. so for refusing to do that, they want them to be handed over to lebanese authorities. and they also want the most of them to use fighters to vacate their, from their positions inside you and run schools in order for the academic year to begin. so both sides really hardening their positions, fortifying their military positions, talks are underway, but so far the ceasefire agreements have not. i have not held the pulse of closed in the mall. dave's presidential election ibrahim how much all of his seeking re election for a 2nd time is running again. 7 other candidates contenders from all the major

policies of promised major projects despite the serious government that button. tiny chang joins us live from the capsule. molly's what does the total look like, tony would know. very good. we've just heard in the last 30 minutes from the election commission that it was 75 percent and i think many people would think that was pretty good going. but here in the mall, davis and the last the previous 3 presidential elections went to numbers like 9185 . so $75.00 looks pretty low compared to that. it was pretty brisk when pose opened at 8 am this morning. lots of people uh, finding into the polling stations that carried on till about one or 2 o'clock in the afternoon. and then there was a very significant drop off. uh, that probably accounts of full by the enormous hates here in the afternoon. but they didn't really come back in great numbers, the election commission,

it said that the votes as was standing in the queues of full p. m. when the polling stations, suppose they would be allowed to cost the vote. they didn't perhaps get the last rush that they were expecting. none. the less the process does seem to have gone relatively smoothly across this very complicated electro landscape. you've got more than a 100 that 98 islands separated by hundreds of columbus is deep in the indian ocean . they have many of them, of the mountains at the account is now going on. but today the voting appears to have gone relatively smoothly. and tiny, just take us through some of the big issues that of the elect, the voters have to choose on. but it's, it's interesting, i think, positive that low turnout could be because this time going to the polls. that the other thing that's being the feeling, the multi dns, are actually voting for the democratic process itself that has been very much on

the table in previous elections. this time they had 8 candidates to choose from, but really 2 major ones, presidents, all of the incumbent and the main challenge adult to moist. both of them were offering very extravagant packages about housing, enormous infrastructure projects. thing that was also a certain amount of delays that they weren't really addressing some of the other big issues of the mold, these has namely international debt and to finance a lot of these projects, the developments that they say i needed for the country to take the next step economically, they've had to borrow very heavily. and the other big issue on the agenda has been the influence of india and china. the governing policy, the modem has aligned itself very much towards india. they're very involved in the infrastructure projects going on at the moment. and the previous administrations have been very closely aligned to china. both countries, the road, a huge amount of money by them, all these, some of those debts are coming to. and the next couple of years, the pros, presidents and the candidates are all saying, well,

we can just restructure that debt. but i think that's just a matter of juggling financial goals. and the, the, the, the vote is i think, can sense that some of those might come crashing down all the same time. all right, thanks so much. tony chang, the, the north korea has held afraid to mock its founding de kim gillman hosted a high level delegation from china to observe the price. these plans to expand and strength and ties with both staging and moscow. can we expect his travel to russia for 12 cents like may i please? and on western supplies and place in the u. k. say they've arrested a form, a soldier who escaped from a london prison earlier this week. daniel levi is facing terror related charges. he escaped from one's with prison, one of the country's largest jails. previously, seals were falls on who should be charged for election meddling in the state of georgia has been released. it's recommended charging

a number of other people who ultimately once entices the grand jury investigation resulted in the full criminal indictments against former us president donald trump . he and 18 of his allies and facing several challenges, including racketeering. are accused of trying to have a ton to 2020 presidential election results in the state. columbia and mexico, a kind of hosting a 3 day anti drug summit, mexican president, and the as manuel lopez all but our daughters in the city of cali. he'll meet with colombia, neither gustavo petra, representatives from 15 latin american and copy and countries all participating in the conference. it comes as the cultivation of cocaine is at no time high. and many countries are seeing an up search and drunk violence, or higher dresser f o is the director of conflict analysis results sensor in colombia. he says the move could lead to an increase in drug related violence. the

one has to be prepared on very many countries in the region need for, for the east views that the stipe office press or if focus on the, on the traffic or sunday. and the end part of the traffic in a chain won't bring about a neighboring countries like it by lot. i already see the increase of viruses and most likely older regions. countries 19 central america. and maybe argentina ambrose field will start to see more virus coming out from these is price on the, on the traffic and networks. the, let's take you through the headlines here and i'll just say right now more than a 1000 people have been killed in morocco in the west as quite the country into
