morocco has declared three days of national mourning, after a powerful earthquake killed at least 1,300 people, and left hundreds more wounded. terror suspect daniel khalife, who evaded police for more than three days after escaping from a london prison, has been returned to custody. ukrainian officials have criticised a joint declaration from members at the 620 summit, saying the group has watered down its condemnation of russia's invasion. hello and welcome, i'm catherine byaruhanga. we start in morocco, where three days of national mourning have been declared after the devastating earthquake that has killed more than a thousand people.

the tremor struck on friday night in the atlas mountains, around 70 kilometres southwest of marrakech. entire villages are reported to have been flattened, and families have been trapped under the rubble. the red cross says the response effort to the earthquake could take years due to the level of devastation. these are the latest pictures we are getting from amizmiz, in the south of marrakesh. people there have been digging graves for victims in this village, which has been severely affected by the deadly quake. charlotte wright has this report. the horrifying moment a powerful earthquake hit morocco. cctv shows people running for safety as buildings begin to crumble in marrakesh. elsewhere in the city, diners frantically flee a restaurant. people yell. outside the historic kutubiyya mosque, dust

rises from the tower, prompting fears it might collapse. marrakesh is 45 miles from the epicentre in the atlas mountains. those in the city said it was terrifying. the floors were violently shaking, the walls were shaking, things were falling off shelving. i just didn't even know what to think. i then went into slightly more open space in my main bedroom and just completely collapsed to the floor because you couldn't stand, everything was shaking so much. the quake struckjust after 11pm yesterday. 0vernight, there were outages to the power, phone lines and internet, with crowds left trying to sleep on the streets. translation: the force and intensity of this earthquake was felt _ in our building almost three times. people went out into the street just after this total panic, and there are families who are still sleeping outside. south of the epicentre,

the search for survivors. digging through the rubble of collapsed buildings. in chichaoua, to the west, rescuers worked through the night, with reports of families still trapped and many more injured. some were taken to hospital for treatment. in the daylight, the extent of the destruction in marrakesh is clearer, including to parts of the medina, a unesco world heritage site, where some are left picking through what is left of their homes. "there's nowhere for us to go, there is nowhere for us "to stay," she says. as residents begin to assess the devastation, world leaders have pledged their support, amid fears the death toll will rise further yet. charlotte wright, bbc news. carmen haid lives in the village ot tameslohte, 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's absolutely terrible, terrible, terrible disaster. and these houses, these houses are not built for earthquakes. and there has not been in history an earthquake like this in morocco. and maybe, maybe 30 years ago, it 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, but its 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 to medina. i have a whole shelter here going

on in my house and accommodating everybody who needs shelter and people are 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... 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 and 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... there is a charity called 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. yes, they are talking about hundreds of funerals in the next few days. you're asking for people to help there, probably viewers around the world who are thinking what they can do to help people there in morocco. what are the key things that they need to do to help you? well, i think the key thing is to make sure that first yourself

saved, because if you're not self, saved yourself, you can't help anyone else. and that once that's taken place, you just try to do whatever you can in your own power. if you have a home, give your home. if you have money, give money, contact the charities. contact the local town stations and the town halls to see you can donate. it's really money that people need here to rebuild because the structures here are not, you know, they have earth materials and it's not safe like this. so that's, i suggest, what we can do. 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. the 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 "am, 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. i spoke earlier with our news correspondent greg mckenzie, who has been at the scotland yardand. at the scotland yard. have a listen.

the media and the public were alerted by afternoon, various ports were on lockdown, heathrow airport extra security, were on lockdown, heathrow airport extra security, extra were on lockdown, heathrow airport extra security, extra security were on lockdown, heathrow airport extra security, extra security at manchester airport, dover port. extra security, extra security at manchesterairport, dover port. even people being stopped in their cars and having their boots checked, and also id checked in certain areas of the capital. but daniel khalife was arrested this morning and having an operation come to an end this morning, it was a plainclothes police officer that spotted daniel khalifa on a push by, on a canal path, canal path inches ache and ultimately arrested him, pushed him off the bike and arrested him. he is being interviewed, the police want to know where he was, how did he get from wandsworth prison to connect to, it's about 5.5 miles, 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 wandsworth prison to escape, all is being investigated. 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. pakistan and afghan troops have

accused each other of triggering wednesday's clash. the 620 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 620 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 620 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 620 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. 6et—togethers like this give leaders the chance to catch up. but the truth is the 620 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 620 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 620 leaders changed their wording when referring to ukraine.

the war in ukraine was a sticking point during the summit, the 620 summit, which was held in bali last year. it took a very long time for countries there to reach a consensus on the wording. that was expected this time around as well. the fact that we have 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. india's foreign affairs minister reacting to a question about why that wording has been significantly watered down said, "look, "bali was last year, new delhi is this year, "there are different circumstances this year." he also said they were developing countries that actually took he also said there were developing countries that actually took the lead, suggesting india and other developing nations took the lead to get a consensus on the wording. as we saw in that report,

no mention of russia. the language significantly watered down from what was said last year, so unsurprisingly, a reaction coming in from ukraine that this statement is nothing to be proud of. unsurprisingly, ukraine will be disappointed with what has been said today. another key development is the fact that the african union has now joined as a permanent member of the 620. what is the reaction there to that development where you are in delhi, and how are african nations expected to benefit from joining the 620? for india, that development is a big win. india has been advocating, its prime minister narendra modi has been advocating very strongly further african union to become a member of the 620. he had written to other members of the 620 urging them to allow this, and that has actually happened. in some ways, it is one of the main tangible outcomes of the 620 summit in delhi. india has been repeatedly saying that multilateral groupings

and institutions need to become truly representative and fair of all countries around the world, notjust depending on how economically strong they are, but that the voices should be diverse. i think what's happened today will allow countries in africa to have more of a voice on various things, including, for example, debt restructuring, lending, all really key issues. india will see this as a win. there are analysts who are also saying that one of the reasons india wants to have support in africa is to counter china's growing influence in the continent. now to ukraine... with hundreds of thousands of men now serving in its armed forces, and overfive million women having fled the country, there are few families which have escaped being split apart by the russian invasion. ukrainian scientists are warning this could have a long term impact

of the country's population, with birth rates plummeting since the war began. but there are young couples who have decided to bring a new life into the world, in spite of the circumstances. 0ur ukrainian correspondent zhanna bezpiatchuk has been speaking to mothers and medical professionals in the town of bucha, the site of some of the wars most horrific atrocities. the site of some of the war�*s most horrific atrocities. 39—year—old natalya is a children's doctor in bucha, which has gone through the worst kind of mass deaths. discussing the impact of the war on bucha, and her decision to come back immediately after its liberation from the russian occupation, she starts crying. translation: all my life is here. bucha is my hometown. i grew up here. i needed to come back.

this doctor used to register ten newborns on average per month. two years into the war, she gets one or two new patients. she sees that as a sign of hope. translation: parents feel the danger is still here. - to give birth now in ukraine is an exploit in itself. all mothers are heroic to me. 0ne—month—old mia is the third child for 38—year—old yuliya. mia is a quiet child, as if she feels how difficult the situation is for her mum. translation: you just get more hardened. - you get used to attacks and constant air raids. you get stronger. when i found out that i was pregnant, my husband and i decided to give birth to our third daughter. thejob natalya does in the bucha community is far beyond ordinary healthcare after the fear and despair of the occupation.

doctors and midwives came back to bucha immediately after the liberation, because they were needed by their patients. one of the first signs of the normalisation is the birth of children by mothers who had to spend nights in bomb shelters to save their lives and the lives of their newborns. yuliya says she knew that giving birth in wartime would come with many risks. translation: it is already - a standard thing for me to get up at 2am to breast—feed mia and then silence her. it is so exhausting. doctors are concerned that stress suffered by ukrainian mums might cause their babies delays in speech and emotional disorders. translation: the levels of risks

and danger are too high. - ukrainian pregnant women experience dual stress. pregnancy is in itself a stress. moreover, they live under constant uncertainty and anxiety, and the need to run to bomb shelters. parents in bucha, like anywhere else in ukraine, hope the war willjust be a story in a textbook for their babies. 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�*. who 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 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. they leave little gifts for her, little mementos, just to say how much they appreciated her writing. now, with permission from herfamily and the aid of an arts grant, it's taken sculptor ben twiston—davies over a year to design and create this life—size statue called a monument to imagination. i imagine that she's. sitting in the park and, as we all might do, if you take ten minutes to sit on a park bench - and just relax from the kind of busyness of your day, . your imagination wanders. she's having a moment of inspiration at that sort of moment _ of the sculpture, if you like.

what do you think she would've made, then, of this bronze statue being unveiled in her memory? she would have hated it, i think, actually, to be perfectly honest. this is the secret that's now out that, actually, she was a resident in wallingford for 42 years. this is where she lived, where she was an ordinary housewife, and enjoyed having a family life here. katharine da costa, bbc news. the invictus 6ames, famously initiated by prince harry, are taking place in germany, from today and until next friday. the duke of sussex attended the opening ceremony of the games in duesseldorf. they're the sixth configuration of competitive sporting events designed to help rehabilitate soldiers — orformer soldiers — who've been injured, mentally or physically, in the course of their work. stay with us here on bbc news.

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 front�*s

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.

this is bbc news — the headlines... morocco has declared three days of national mourning, after a powerful earthquake killed at least 1,300 people and left hundreds more wounded. the quake's epicentre was in the atlas mountains, around 45 miles south of marrakesh. damaged roads are hampering the efforts of emergency teams to reach survivors. a terror suspect, who evaded police for more than three days after escaping from a london prison, has been returned to custody. 21—year—old daniel khalife was caught riding a bike in northolt in west london after being spotted three times in the chiswick area. ukrainian officials have criticised a joint declaration from members at the 620 summit in delhi, which they say watered down its condemnation of russia's invasion.
