joe biden arrives in hanoi to sign a new strategic partnership, nearly half a century after the us military withdrew from the vietnam war. we start in morocco, where three days of national mourning have been declared following the powerful earthquake in which 2,000 people are now known to have died. these pictures show the moment the quake struck the city of marrakesh late on friday, prompting people to sprint for the streets. the city is reporting a lower death toll than other areas, but considerable damage to buildings. thousands of moroccans have spent a second night sleeping outside on the streets, fearing aftershocks. some have been describing their fears and sense of loss. i returned to my house and noticed many cracks in the walls.

i cannot sleep there. i'm asking the authorities to help me and bring in an expert to assess whether it's possible for me to return to the house or not. look where all these people are sleeping. there's no help for us. 0ur houses have been cracked, others destroyed, like my daughter's house, which has collapsed. we are in a chaotic state. it's painful to enter- the ancient city and witness the collapsed homes and see people in great suffering. - it's a painful experience when this happens - to your brother or sister. it's really painful. live now to marrakesh and we can speak to our correspondent anna holligan. take us through what you are seeing there. we take us through what you are seeing there. ~ . ., ., there. we are in the heart of the medina, the _ there. we are in the heart of the medina, the historic _ there. we are in the heart of the medina, the historic heart - there. we are in the heart of the medina, the historic heart of - medina, the historic heart of marrakesh. a world heritage site. as you can see, there is rubble all around me here, and in amongst the rubble, these pieces of cultural heritage. if we can pan the camera up heritage. if we can pan the camera up and show you the minaret. this is

a mosque and the minaret has entirely crumbled due to the force of the earthquake, and yet you have this strange juxtaposition in this square which you will be familiar with if you have ever visited marrakesh. in the restaurants and bars around the main square, people are drinking coffee, and yet go a little further beyond the city walls, all around the grassy areas, five aside football pitches, people have been camping out overnight. they are packing up their belongings but they aren't sure if it is safe to go home because they are still afraid of aftershocks. we were just speaking to a british couple who described the moment when the quake struck on friday night and they said they weren't sure if there had been some kind of terror attack. the walls started shaking, cracking. they dived under the bed for shelter and then everybody came out onto the streets. they have also been saying they aren't getting any advice. they

want to help those affected but they don't know what to do. they are waiting for their flights home. don't know what to do. they are waiting for theirflights home. the emergency services, the search and rescue teams, are focusing on those remote areas up in the high atlas mountains around the epicentre of this quake, where the majority of deaths occurred, and where they are still hoping to reach survivors who might be trapped under the rubble. according to the red cross, the next 24 according to the red cross, the next 2a hours will be absolutely vital in reaching any survivors who remain. we have just been speaking to some people who say they have friends who are trying to drive out there, but the rescue efforts are made more difficult due to the remoteness, the rows, some are blocked. they have been landslides and entire villages flatten. you can see as well, some people are coming out looking for their missing animals will stop here in marrakesh, the very limited death toll, but we are also hearing stories of hope, from footballers

who are coming out to donate blood to help those thousands of people who have been injured and are waiting for treatment in hospitals, and others who are travelling from all around the country to try and do something to help those thousands of people who have been affected by this earthquake.— this earthquake. what are the authorities _ this earthquake. what are the authorities saying _ this earthquake. what are the authorities saying about - this earthquake. what are the authorities saying about how. this earthquake. what are the - authorities saying about how much support there is, how they are managing to cope with the huge numbers in hospitals, and also trying to reach those in remote areas because this earthquake impacted a huge swathes of the country, didn't it?— country, didn't it? exactly. the military has — country, didn't it? exactly. the military has been _ country, didn't it? exactly. the military has been deployed. i country, didn't it? exactly. the| military has been deployed. it's hard to say how much of that support is actually getting through to these villages. we have heard from people in some of the affected communities who say they have seen no sign of any rescue teams at all. it is neighbours helping each other. we have heard that people are having to carry their parents to makeshift graves in order to bury them because the search and rescue teams, the

support, simply isn't able to get through. so it is a mixed picture. we are also hearing from the international community is such as rishi sunak and usjoe biden who have offered support. it is hard to tell exactly what is needed until they are able to establish the full extent of the damage, and that will require the teams locally to be able to reach these most affected communities where it is thought hundreds of people are still trapped. we have heard from a father who said he could hear his children crying out from beneath the rubble. 24 crying out from beneath the rubble. 2a hours to crying out from beneath the rubble. 24 hours to 48 hours, according to the red cross, will be absolute vital now if those people are to be brought to safety. and then the clean—up can really begin. in terms of what is happening here in the medina, businesses are reopening, people have been sweeping the streets. you can hear there are some

rubbish trucks coming to collect the debris. they are also bringing bricks and pieces of rubble from across the centre and putting them here. there is also, if we can perhaps just here. there is also, if we can perhapsjust pan around, here. there is also, if we can perhaps just pan around, some scaffolding being erected on the other side of this barrier. all of the electric cables have collapsed down and a lot of the walls in the hotels have cracked some people are afraid to go home. they are afraid to go back into the hotels, and they said they aren't actually getting enough information from the authorities on what they can do to help themselves, but also to help those in the worst affected areas up in the atlas mountains. lemma those in the worst affected areas up in the atlas mountains.— in the atlas mountains. anna in marrakesh. _ in the atlas mountains. anna in marrakesh, thank _ in the atlas mountains. anna in marrakesh, thank you. - there are huge concerns for areas outside the city. these pictures show the damage and devastation to the community of taroudant. there are reports that entire villages have been flattened. here, soldiers alongside residents have been searching the rubble for survivors.

roads to many of the worst—hit areas have been blocked by landslides and debris. earlier we heard from caroline holt, a director of global of operations at the international federation of red cross and red crescent. she told the bbc about the challenges they are facing while trying to reach the worst affected areas. but in order to make sure we reach as many— but in order to make sure we reach as many people as possible who are still stuck_ as many people as possible who are still stuck under the rubble. at the same _ still stuck under the rubble. at the same time — still stuck under the rubble. at the same time of course, access to those more _ same time of course, access to those more remote — same time of course, access to those more remote places is extremely difficult _ more remote places is extremely difficult and challenging. trying to -et difficult and challenging. trying to get the _ difficult and challenging. trying to get the heavy machinery in to clear those _ get the heavy machinery in to clear those routes to access the worst affected — those routes to access the worst affected areas no doubt where the epicentre — affected areas no doubt where the epicentre was high in the atlas mountains is key. of course taking care mountains is key. of course taking care of— mountains is key. of course taking care of those who have survived is absolutely — care of those who have survived is absolutely critical, and that is work — absolutely critical, and that is

of a parliamentary researcher on suspicion of spying. mr sunak met li qiang at the g20 summit in delhi hours after news of two arrests in the uk under the official secrets act emerged. mr sunak has been speaking in the past few minutes. the g20 is a large collection of countries that don't all necessarily share the same values and the same perspective, but it is important that the g20 has come together and issued very strong donation for the impact of the war in ukraine on food prices and energy security. that's something i was keen to highlight and i'm glad that is there in the statement, in black and white, and there is strong language highlighting the suffering that the war is doing, the impact it is having on food prices, and the need for russia to rejoin the black sea grain initiative and to halt attacks on civilian infrastructure in ukraine. that's something i wanted to make sure we did here, that's something that has happened, and thatis something that has happened, and that is something i think everyone has taken notice of.

a short time ago i spoke to our political editor chris mason who's travelling with the prime minister and he gave me this update. so what's happened here is the 620 comes— so what's happened here is the 620 comes to _ so what's happened here is the 620 comes to a — so what's happened here is the 620 comes to a conclusion and in the final— comes to a conclusion and in the final hours— comes to a conclusion and in the final hours rishi sunak, the prime minister. — final hours rishi sunak, the prime minister, has met the most senior chinese _ minister, has met the most senior chinese official here, li qiang. the premier— chinese official here, li qiang. the premier is — chinese official here, li qiang. the premier is not here but he has raised — premier is not here but he has raised concerns about the prospect of chinese — raised concerns about the prospect of chinese interference in british parliamentary democracy. the contents — parliamentary democracy. the contents of this is a report in the sunday— contents of this is a report in the sunday times exposing the fact that two people have been arrested in the uk under— two people have been arrested in the uk under the official secrets act, and the _ uk under the official secrets act, and the paper says that one of them is a former— and the paper says that one of them is a former parliamentary researcher with links _ is a former parliamentary researcher with links to — is a former parliamentary researcher with links to several conservative mp5, _ with links to several conservative mps, including a minister, security nrinister_ mps, including a minister, security ministertom mps, including a minister, security minister tom tugendhat, and also alessia _ minister tom tugendhat, and also alessia kearns, who chairs the foreign — alessia kearns, who chairs the foreign affairs select committee. that means that we have got this new row bursting back out again in

christian fraser joins us christian fraserjoins us now from delhi. hello, yes. a lot of the indian delegation currently working the room here with the indian media, talking about their satisfaction that the final communique was approved with consensus of all the 20 leaders that were here, and that will come as some satisfaction because when things got under way on saturday morning there was still a giant hole in that communique in relation to the wording around ukraine, said the fact that they got it over the line after 200 different meetings with developing nations, the g7, meetings with developing nations, the 67, western countries, and then of course with russia, is some achievement, given where we were at the beginning of the summit. the beginning part of the day, it was really about the ceremony. we have been keeping a close eye on rishi sunak, who of course is very proud hindu. he has his own indian

heritage and traditions, of course, and he has been an indian temple today with his wife. they prayed together and they were shown around the temple. then they made their way to the memorialfor the temple. then they made their way to the memorial for mahatma the temple. then they made their way to the memorialfor mahatma gandhi, as you said. of course, he was assassinated just after india had gained independence in 1948. this is the place where he was cremated. all 20 leaders invited to place the reef alongside the fire that is kept at the memorial. there are statues of mahatma gandhi in these pictures. the significance is that he made his own clothes and he was very much about self independence for india. he did not want to pay tax on textiles, which were important to the british empire. and i think there was a little bit of that in there was a little bit of that in the economic policy that continues

today, a sort of self—serving side today, a sort of self—serving side to the way that he approaches the indian economy. the made in india brand that he is trying to push. so, some nice pictures from the mahatma gandhi memorial today. lisa curtis 6andhi memorial today. lisa curtis is the director of the indo—pacific security programme and she served in the us government for over 20 years and was heavily involved in the development of the united states south asia strategy. very nice to have you with us. can we talk specifically about that paragraph relating to ukraine? why do you think the 67 countries accepted language that in many eyes was weaker than the language we got in bali? ~ ~ ., , bali? well, i think it was disappointing _ bali? well, i think it was disappointing that - bali? well, i think it was disappointing that the i bali? well, i think it was - disappointing that the language backslide did so much from where it was in _ backslide did so much from where it was in the _ backslide did so much from where it was in the bali statement a year ago. _ was in the bali statement a year ago. but — was in the bali statement a year ago. but i — was in the bali statement a year ago, but i think the reason that the united _ ago, but i think the reason that the united states and its like—minded partners — united states and its like—minded

crisis, or they can do is ask russia to stop". and on the black sea grain initiative, says it is possible to revive it as long as the west removes obstacles to the export of russian grain and fertiliser. we know that they turkish covenant have been working the back channels here try to get the eu countries to ease some sanctions so russia can export its fertilisers. christian, i'm interested to know about how the summit is being reported there. what are the reflections and how is it being seen amongst the indian population? i think with huge satisfaction actually. the prime minister in india has come out of this very well. he is bidding for a third time next year and it felt in the city like this was part of his election campaign. you can't move anywhere in the city without saying a 620 billboard with his face on it. as lisa says, it was really important for him to get the communique over the line and had he not done, then it would have been an embarrassment

to him personally and it would have raised questions about the 620 more generally. but i think when they look at the document in a hole, the indian panellist will be satisfied that he has turned attention to developing nations, what he called the global south which is an interesting turn because a lot of these countries are in the southern hemisphere. it is a catchall phrase for all the countries that have problems with debt, debt restructuring, high interest rates, access to capital, climate adaptations and resilience, and those are the things that have been talked about in the round. more headroom for the world bank to lead to some of these countries. more initiatives for private finance to get some of these countries going on adaptation. also, renewal and building infrastructure that takes them towards a greener economy. that is really the focus. and that language will be taken from here and it will be adapted and it will grow.

then we will come to the end of the year and the cop 28 summit, and i thinka year and the cop 28 summit, and i think a lot of language we have seen in this statement will be formally adopted by the countries that meet in the united arab emirates. christian, thank you. stay with us here on bbc news and we be back with more very shortly. the september heatwave continues for many of us today, particularly towards the south. going to work their way gradually further northwards through the day. now, the last six days in a row, we've had temperatures above 30 celsius. yesterday was the hottest day at 33.2. we're probably going to see the seventh day above 30 degrees today. so heat and humidity for many of us. but those thundery downpours on the cards, too, over the next few days. and by around about tuesday, we're going to start to see that cooler air filtering across all parts. but it will take a while for the hot and humid weather to get out

of the way from the southeast. but anyone running the great north run today, i think it's looking dry through the morning, threat of some heavy showers and some thunderstorms into the evening hours. and it certainly will feel quite hot and humid for running into the afternoon. we'll see heavy showers affecting wales, through the midlands, perhaps into parts of central southern england as well. still some sunshine for east anglia in the southeast, but sunshine for central scotland, northern ireland as well. and the weather will improve for the likes of devon, cornwall, somerset as well. here's where we'll see the heavy showers and the thunderstorms. if you do catch one, particularly through parts of northern england, later on, northern ireland and southern scotland, it could be really torrential. so a lot of rain in a short space of time and the potential for some localised flash flooding. it's cooler where we've got the rain working in across the north west of scotland, just 14 for stornoway, mid 20s for many northern areas but up to 32 for london and the southeast again. now, through the evening hours, heavy showers and thunderstorms affecting northern ireland, northern england and scotland for a time. and that band of rain creeps its way further south. so it's looking pretty wet for parts of scotland in particular, drier further south, some mist and fog and muggy conditions again, but not quite as hot as recent nights.

into monday, then, and still some showers around across parts of northern england, north wales and for northern ireland and scotland. cloud and patchy outbreaks of rain further south and east. across england and wales you're likely to stay dry. and for the likes of east anglia and the south east, 27 or 28 degrees. so, still hot, still humid but not quite as hot as we've seen over the past week or so. and then cooler, fresher air reaches all areas by around about tuesday. and it's going to be a mix of sunshine and showers through much of the week ahead. bye for now.
