carmen haid lives in the village of tameslohte, close to marrakesh. she's been telling me about the devastation in her area. people have lost their homes, including people who work around it. it's absolutely terrible, terrible, terrible disaster. and these houses these houses are not built for earthquakes. and there has not been in history earthquake like this in morocco and maybe, maybe 30 years ago was the last one that was recorded. maybe it was around arcadia, but never in marrakesh. it's quite devastating to see what's happening. so we have to be as a community now to rebuild and help and pledge as much as we can in our power to help these people to get back on their feet. yes, carmen, just to let our viewers know that your line is breaking up slightly by holding on quite well at the moment. up slightly but it's holding on quite well at the moment. so we'll continue with the interview. just tell us a bit about the situation with your neighbours, your friends. how are they coping at the moment? because obviously it's getting to night—time there in morocco.

absolutely. well, many people don't feel safe in their town, so they have fled the medina. i have a whole shelter here going on in my house and accommodating everybody who needs shelter and people still sleeping out in the streets. actually, there were there were vibrations still the aftershock. i could feel it until this afternoon, to be honest. but i guess it's normal. it's very, very concerning. but at the same time, i think we've got to keep part, stay positive, and try to build up what we can do in our own power now. yes. and carmen, you're there trying to help your neighbours and yourfriends, bringing them into your home. but how about any other help from the government, from aid agencies? what kind of support is coming to you where you are? well, at the moment, you know, i'm in a village that's about 30 minutes from marrakesh, medina. and i have heard sirens that there were some helicopters. but you don't have that sort of support that you have in england. so it's a slow movement.

and a lot of for instance, my staff, they have the building collapsed. it was a total disaster. the neighbours died, a whole family buried in the rubble. i mean, that'sjust a normal picture at the moment. it's so tragic. and we will have hundreds and thousands of burials in the next few days happening. and we have now in terms of aid, i think the hospitals are quite overwhelmed, but people are giving blood, which is a good thing. but i think whoever can pledge and look at this as a charity called there's acharity called red crescent, that is very, very good that i can recommend. but whoever can pledge in local communities and who has friends red crescent, that is very, very good that i can recommend. but whoever can pledge in local communities and who has friends in morocco, please speak to them and see how we can support. here, police have arrested missing terror suspect daniel khalife in west london— following his escape from prison four days ago.

he was detained in the northholt area. police had said it was focusing on "intensive search activity" efforts in and around the chiswick area of west london, where he had been spotted by members of the public. the former soldier — who's 21 — was in wandsworth prison awaiting trial, accused of trying to spy for an enemy state, understood to be iran. his family had urged him to give himself up. here's our home and legal correspondent, dominic casciani. a national manhunt now at an end, britain's most wanted man, daniel khalife, arrested at this spot in west london, a terrorism suspect back in custody after 75 hours on the run. this morning, police closed in on him as more and more intelligence came into scotland yard. this stately home and gardens on the edge of west london became the focus after reports that he'd been in the area in the middle of the night. a citywide investigation

getting closer and closer, and then just before 11am, they got their man. a plainclothes officer tracking the 21—year—old saw him on a bike and pulled him to the ground. from the moment it was reported to the police, we've had a very substantial amount of resources on this investigation. it's been 75 hours since the moment of his escape to the time of his capture, and a huge effort has gone into that. i'm grateful to the public, officers and staff and the media for their help. on wednesday morning, khalife, who had been working in wandsworth prison�*s kitchen, escaped underneath a food delivery van. police say he was first seen near a major roundaboutjust a mile from the jail minutes after the escape. 0vernight, he was spotted in chiswick in west london wearing dark clothing. khalife was finally arrested 12 miles away on a canal path in northolt in west london. khalife will be settling back into a cell and heading back to the courts. now the attention turns to the government. how could a prisoner

escape under a lorry? it's good news that we captured the person concerned. as people already know, thejustice secretary's initiated an inquiry into the circumstances of his escape and that work will continue. but this is obviously very welcome news and again, my thanks to the police, but also to the public. the police regard this as a textbook operation, the former soldier tracked down in a city of 8 million. the question is, how did the prison manage to lose just one man among 1,600, all supposedly locked behind bars? dominic casciani, bbc news. police say khalife will still face trial for the original offences with which he'd been charged, and there will be a further investigation into the new offences related to his escape. 0ur correspondent greg mckenzie has been following events from scotland yard, where he's been

talking to police sources. it was a major manhunt, one of the biggest that the metropolitan police have undertook for some years. daniel khalife was a wanted man ever since the police announced in the afternoon of the morning of his escape, he escaped at seven just afterjust before 8 am on wednesday morning. the media and the public were alerted by the afternoon and a huge manhunt is underway. various ports were on lockdown, at heathrow airport, extra security, extra security at gatwick airport, extra security at manchester airport, dover port, even people being stopped in their cars and having their boots checked and also i.d. checked in certain areas of the capital. but daniel kelly was arrested this morning and having an operation but daniel khalifewas arrested this morning and having an operation come to an end this morning. it was a plain—clothed police officer who spotted daniel radcliffe officer who spotted daniel ——khalife

on a push—bike on a canal path, a canal path in chiswick and ultimately arrested him, pushed him off the bike and arrested him. daniel khalife is now in custody in a police station in west london where he is being interviewed. the police want to know, the police want to know where he was. how did he get from wandsworth prison to chiswick? it's about 5.5 miles. so they believe he was on foot, but was he assisted? this is a question that they are trying to find the answers to and will not speculate that he was given assistance from one wandsworth prison to escape. all is being investigated and it's an ongoing investigation, as the commander told me here at scotland yard earlier this afternoon. the g20 summit of world leaders has agreed a joint declaration, which includes calls for a durable peace in ukraine. the text, at the summit in india, says all states involved in the conflict must "refrain" from the "use of force"

for territorial gain. but there's no reference to russian aggression, and ukraine says the g20 has nothing to be proud of. from delhi, our political editor, chris mason, reports. waiting for the world to arrive. the indian prime minister, narendra modi, is the host here. the stumbling block for the g20 has long been russia and its war in ukraine. vladimir putin isn't here, it's his foreign minister sergey lavrov instead. 0thers walking the red carpet, president biden and rishi sunak. the g20 have agreed a joint communique with very strong language about russia's illegal war in ukraine. something i said on my way here that i was keen to highlight was the impact that russia's war is having on food prices, notjust at home in the uk but around the world, impacting millions of vulnerable people. get—togethers like this give leaders the chance to catch up. but the truth is the g20

doesn't agree on russia's invasion of ukraine. the hosts, india, are effectively neutral on it. but the leaders have agreed, on paper at least, that one country invading another shouldn't happen. and mr modi acknowledged the global impact the war has had. he said there was a huge crisis of a lack of trust in the world and claimed the war had deepened this trust deficit. "when we can defeat covid," he said, "we can also overcome this "crisis of mutual trust." adding, "it is time for all of us to move together." but the only way a collection of countries like the g20 can give even the loosest sense of moving together on an issue like russia's invasion of ukraine is by adopting rather vague language. and the language in this year's declaration is sufficiently vague that the section about the war doesn't even mention russia. and when you compare that

with what was said last year, there has been a hardening of positions and the words have been watered down. for the prime minister and narendra modi, the backslapping for the cameras was certainly fulsome. both hope to turn this warmth into a uk—india trade deal in the coming months. chris mason, bbc news, in delhi. 0ur south asia correspondent yogita limaye is in delhi and has more on how g20 leaders changed their wording when referring to ukraine. the war in ukraine was a sticking point during the summit.

the g20 summit, which was held in bali last year and it took a very long time for countries there to reach a consensus on the wording and that was expected this time around as well. so the fact that we've actually had a joint statement that has been agreed upon by all members earlier than expected, a day earlier than expected, suggests that the negotiations on what it should say specifically on the war in ukraine, they started even before the meetings that were held here in delhi. that were held here in delhi. india's foreign affairs minister reacting to a question about why that wording has been significantly watered down. he said, "look, bali was last year. "new delhi is this year. "there are different circumstances this year." he also said there were developing countries that actually took the lead, so suggesting india and other developing nations took the lead to get a consensus on the wording. but as we saw in that report, no mention of russia, you know, the language significantly watered down from what was said last year. and so unsurprisingly, a reaction coming in from ukraine that this statement

is nothing to be proud of. unsurprisingly, ukraine will be disappointed with what's been said today. officials in pakistan and afghanistan have held talks about reopening their main border crossing, which has remained shut for a fourth day. the busy torkham point was closed after clashes between security forces. it's led to a build up of trucks laden with goods and food items. a rally was held in pakistan's khyber region calling for peace. demonstrators said the closure of the crossing had deprived thousands of people from both sides who were struggling to earn a living. people have marched through the serbian capital belgrade in what the organisers have described as the biggest pride parade so far. but activists have expressed frustration over the lack of progress in lgbt rights. president aleksandar vucic recently said he would refuse to sign into law any legislation on same—sex marriage or transgender

rights. serbia is socially conservative, and homophobia is common. last year's parade was disrupted by far—right protesters attacking marchers. now it's time for a look at today's sport. hello, we're starting at the rugby world where england have had to really dig deep in their opening game against argentina. they are leading 13—3 in the second half. england have played most of the match with only 1a men. in contrast — ireland have got their tournament off to a flying start, after thrashing romania for a bonus—point win. ireland scored 12 tries in stifling heat in bordeaux. captainjohnny sexton marking his return from injury and suspension with 2a points, including two tries, surpassing ronan 0'gara as ireland's record world cup scorer. 82—8 the final score.

ireland are the top ranked side. and australia comfortably won their opening game against georgia 35—15. ben donaldson scoring two of their four tries in the bonus—point victory in paris. it's a first win for the former england head coach eddiejones since he returned to take charge of the wallabies. and italy were far too strong for namibia in st etienne. there were seven different try scorers for the italians. 52—8 the final score, a bonus point win that lifts them to the top of pool a above the hosts france who beat the all blacks in the opening match of the tournament. it's a huge night in new york for the american teenager coco gauff who's bidding to win her first grand slam. she's playing in the us open final against aryna sabalenka from belarus the winner gets three million dollars in prize money. the men's final will be

between daniil medvedev, who beat the world number one carlos alcaraz and novak djokovic. it's a repeat of the 2021 us open final which medvedev won to claim his only grand slam title. no luck is going to be his best on sunday, and i have to be the best ever version of myself if i want to try to beat him. england's women's cricketers bounced back from their shock t20 series loss by thrashing sri lanka in the first one day international of their best—of—three series. after winning the toss at chester le street and choosing to bowl, england dismissed sri lanka forjust 106. teenage debutante mahika gaur took three wickets including the sri lanka captain chamari athapathu. england then chased down their modest target with 192 balls to spare and seven wickets in tact.

gaur was named player of the match. if you had asked me a year ago, i would have never thought that all of this would happen, sojust trying to enjoy the journey, but yeah, really great. what's the message been from the england camp? just not to try anything different, just to do what got me here, which is just bowl it on the stumps, try to hit the stumps. british and dutch rowers enjoyed a great day on the water on day seven of the world rowing championships in belgrade. british crews won five gold medals in belgrade. amongst them, this win for the men's four. living up to their billing as favourites, defending their world title and ending the season unbeaten. and that's all the sport for now. as always there is always more on our website, as always there is always more on ourwebsite, including as always there is always more on our website, including that coco gauff final. she's the queen of crime writing,

but despite her world—wide fame agatha christie managed to keep her whereabouts under the radar. for more than a0 years the author was living in the town of wallingford, in england, unknown to many residents. a life—size statue has just been unveiled there in her honour, as katharine da costa reports. like the intrigue from one of her novels, agatha christie's love affair with the market town of wallingford was one of her best—kept secrets. agatha christie made wallingford her home. she lived here for more than a0 years, from 193a until her death in 1976. but she was such a private person, many here wouldn't have even known that the queen of crime writing was living in their midst. it was special because it was a place that she and her second husband, who was an archaeologist called max mallowan, actually were able to have privacy to themselves.

they were able to live a more normal life. in the town, she only introduced herself to people as �*mrs mallowan�*. not everybody knew that she was agatha christie. i'm from the bbc. may i congratulate you on , �* ut out by the mousetrap? do you think it is the best player you've written? play you've written? i don't know! other people seem to like it! while agatha may have shied away from the limelight, her work continues to bring in audiences around the world with kenneth branagh currently reprising his movie role as christie's famous belgian sleuth hercule poirot. come with me to a seance. spot the con i can't. detective, you are i here to discredit me. more than two billion copies of her books have been published and read around the world and they are translated into hundreds of different languages. she is incredibly well known and people from all over the world come to visit her grave at cholsey.

hello there. if, like me, you're finding it a little bit too hot and humid at the moment, relief is on the way, but not for most of us until after the weekend. so it stays very warm, very muggy. there will be some thundery showers around. there are warnings out from the met office — more details on our website. but again, we are going to have another day with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees celsius. so, again, the record is broken. today looks like it might well be the hottest day of the year so far, just getting a little bit ahead of thursday's 32.6 degrees celsius. it's widely warm. very warm, infact, and humid. temperatures are not going to be quite so high in the north and west, purely because we've got this weather front approaching. so more cloud bringing rain into the western, and later the northern isles. there are one or two showers ahead of it. and then, of course, this afternoon, because we've got that mix of the heat in there as well, some home—grown downpours, torrential downpours continuing well into the evening, but quite well scattered.

they could just cause some flash flooding locally. and then, even though they'll ease away for a time overnight, we've got some more moving in from the south, pushing into the south and the west, and again just increasing that humidity. so it's going to be another really close night, uncomfortable for sleeping, i should imagine, for quite a few. even further north, the humidity stays with us, which of course means that for the great north run, not ideal conditions with that high humidity, the chance, or increasing chance of a thundery shower as well, particularly for those running into the afternoon. so, take on lots of water if you can. so the shower risks tomorrow, perhaps a little bit further north, as i say, than today. there will be some torrential downpours, lots of lightning with those showers. and then we've got our weather front pepping up in the north and west as well. but in between, of course, lots of sunshine, still very warm and still very humid. so temperatures might not be quite widely as high as they are today, but it's still humid and muggy, perhaps so still in east anglia, the south east, 31, 32 degrees celsius. through the evening and overnight, those thundery showers move

their way northwards and eastwards. 0ur weather fronts on the move as well. and it's behind that weather front where it's a little bit less humid, a fresher feel finally for the north and west of scotland. and as we move through the course of monday and tuesday, and hopefully by the end of tuesday we'll start to feel that slightly fresher air reaching southern and eastern areas. and then we're back to business as usual, really, a more unsettled—looking picture.
