welcome to newsday. reporting live from singapore, i'm arunoday mukharji. the headlines. searches in the earthquake zone where there is devastation for thousands of families, some of whom have lost their homes, and their children. translation: when we found them, they were l all huddled together — the three boys asleep. they all went down with the earthquake. after causing a storm of protest with this kiss — the head of spain's football federation finally resigns russia calls the 620 final statement a step in the right direction, after the joint declaration avoids condemning moscow for its war against ukraine. and there have been scuffles on the streets of santiago as chile prepares to mark the anniversary of the coup that brought general pinochet to power. welcome to the programme. to our top story developing out of morocco, where it's a race against time for rescue workers trying to reach villages in the atlas mountains which have been hardest hit by a massive earthquake. the red cross has warned of a "disaster within a disaster" if water and food aid don't reach survivors. the death toll continues to rise and is now past 2,000 with a similar number injured in hospitals. friday's 6.8—magnitude earthquake struck 45 miles south—west of the tourist hub of marrakesh. the bbc�*s nick beake has the latest. thousands are spending a third night out in the open, many buildings have been damaged here, lots of people are too scared

to sleep back indoors. but really, it is in the atlas mountains, those remote communities have suffered so much, where the greatest number of people have lost their lives. early this morning, we set out in that direction and the further we got, the more damage we saw. eventually we reached one particular village where it was immediately obvious they had lost everything. she sobs. the grief was unbearable. and found in every corner of this tiny community. their spirit crushed a little more every time news arrived of another body recovered. the bricks and stones of their traditional houses no match for the size of this quake. the village of tafeghaghte levelled in seconds. abu rahman was being comforted by everyone who saw him. he tells us he's lost his wife and his three boys.

he wants to take us to where his family lived so happily until friday night. a walk through the rubble of this remote atlas mountain wilderness. "our house was up there", abu rahman tells us. "you can see the white blankets and the furniture, too. everything else has gone." he ran home after the earthquake and says he started screaming out for his kids but there was nothing. "we buried them yesterday", he says. "i felt so sorry for them. when we found them, they were all huddled together, the three boys asleep. they all went down with the earthquake." we've been told that about 200 people used to live here in this village. of those, 90 are already confirmed to have died. many more are missing,

somewhere here beneath the rubble. others are in hospital. and when you look at this and try and take it all in, you realise people simply didn't stand a chance and the scene of devastation is replicated right across this vast mountainous region. sitting among the only possessions she now has left, we meet this woman, mourning her son—in—law. translation: we pray for god to help us - and the government too, and the king. the first professional emergency teams to arrive here are spanish firefighters. it's not a search for signs of life but for the dead. there are no miracle rescues here in tafeghaghte — this epicentre of pain and suffering. as we made our way back from the village, we saw

military trucks and buses of soldiers heading up towards the mountains. they need machinery. the villagers have used their bare hands and struggled to clear the rubble. in the village we were in today, you got the sense that before this earthquake struck, they were quietly content to be somewhat disconnected from some of the pressures of modern life. but all that has changed now. they desperately need outside help, and they need it fast. it help, and they need it fast. can get regular update the it can get regular updates on the bbc news website. to the big story that broke a short while ago. after weeks of controversy over this kiss, luis rubiales resigned on sunday as president of the spanish football federation. he kissed jenni hermoso on the lips after spain's victory over england in last month's world cup final. hermoso said the kiss was not consensual. until now, he'd resisted pressure to step down. joe lynskey has this report. it was the image that overshadowed spain's

world cup—winning moment, a kiss from the federation president that's brought three weeks of fallout. now, luis rubiales has stood down from his post. you're going to resign? yes, because i cannot continue my work. in this situation now, i think i have to do. the player he kissed, jenni hermoso, said it wasn't consensual and football's world governing body had already taken action. rubiales is currently suspended by fifa from all football activity. tonight, he added in his statement: "waiting and holding on is not going to contribute to anything positive, neither to the federation nor to spanish football". last month, rubiales had refused to resign, but as he stayed at the helm, more and more spanish players said they would refuse to play. much of the women's squad remain on strike. rubiales now follows the winning coach in

leaving his position. the former president says he wants to bring stability as spain bid to host the men's world cup. for the women's team, this was a trophy that brought a split like none before. now the man at the centre has stepped back from the game. joe lynskey, bbc news. 0ur correspondent guy hedgecoe explained why rubiales, who had been so adamant that he wouldn't resign, had changed his mind. well, he was fighting on so many fronts at the end, the pressure was building and building on him. first, the fact world football's governing body fifa had suspended him just a few days after the kiss itself. it suspended him pending its own investigation. in his resignation message on social media, rubiales mentioned that and said he really didn't think he was going to come back to his post after that suspension at all.

but also, there was the fact he was facing criminal proceedings, which had been opened by the spanish prosecutor, who was looking into whether they could bring charges against mr rubiales for possible sexual assault for that kiss he gave jenni hermoso. and then of course the social backlash which appeared to be taking a toll on him. his own mother carried out a hunger strike just a few days back. she was hospitalised. she was carrying that out as a protest at what she said was a witchhunt against her son. it seemed to be taking its toll on rubiales and his family. i understand the news came out a short while back, but have we heard anything from jenni hermoso or any other reactions at the moment? no, i haven't seen any reaction directly from jenni hermoso, but a deluge of responses on social media.

among them, responses from the spanish government itself. the deputy prime minister, she has spoken out on social media and said, this is a major step forward for spanish feminism. she seems to see it as something which goes beyond just football and spanish sport. the undersecretary of sport in spain, who has been trying to get mr rubiales removed from his post over the last few days — so far it had been unsuccessful i should add — but he had spoken out against him. he said this was exactly what mr rubiales should have done all along and he said it was good for spanish sport and spanish football. sonia estrade, who is a member of the feminist space ca la dona and a former football player herself,

told me she was pleased somebody who accesses the body of a woman, who is the boss, against her will, i think it's good he finally resigns. maybe some things have to happen, like the whole world has to see it. but finally he has resigned, and i think that's good news. d0 resigned, and i think that's good new-— resigned, and i think that's good news. resigned, and i think that's aood news. ~ , , good news. do you think this is exactly the _ good news. do you think this is exactly the kind _ good news. do you think this is exactly the kind of _ good news. do you think this is exactly the kind of step - good news. do you think this is exactly the kind of step which l exactly the kind of step which is going to go a long way in reassuring all those who have been demanding action against him? , ~ �* , him? yes. i think it's the beginning- _ him? yes. i think it's the beginning. the _ him? yes. i think it's the - beginning. the federation... it needs to undergo a big change in culture. in particular this macho culture in the federation. football is a world apart from the rest of society. for example, as we speak, the players of the female football league in spain are on strike

because the best female player is paid in a year less than the worst male player in the league. so many things need to change. it's good news and it's a good step in the right direction.— a good step in the right direction. ., . . ., , direction. how crucial is it, would you _ direction. how crucial is it, would you say, _ direction. how crucial is it, would you say, to - direction. how crucial is it, would you say, to make i direction. how crucial is it, | would you say, to make this case out to be some sort of example and use it to send a message about sexism in sport that we've seen?— that we've seen? talking with our that we've seen? talking with your correspondent _ that we've seen? talking with your correspondent about - that we've seen? talking with j your correspondent about him being prosecuted for sexual assault, but that's not the only prosecution. he is also being prosecuted for coercion. and i think that's very important. it's something very typical in this kind of

situation. you report a problem, you become the problem, you become the problem, and the institution turns all its strength against you so that you will say it's no big deal, that nothing really happened. so i think it's not only him being prosecuted for sexual assault, but also for coercion that might change the way institutions cope with this kind of situation.- kind of situation. luis rubiales _ kind of situation. luis rubiales finally - kind of situation. luis - rubiales finally announcing kind of situation. luis rubiales finally announcing his decision to resign. now to the story that made headlines over the weekend. russia has termed the g20 summit held in india a success. the wording of the joint declaration around the war in ukraine has been substantially watered down compared to what it was after last year's summit, with no direct reference to moscow's involvement. india, the host country, which has maintained a neutral stance on the war, took the lead in getting consensus on the statement. the bbc�*s south asia correspondent yogita limaye

reports from delhi. a poignant start to the final day of india's g20 presidency, a moment to remember the country's most revered leader, mahatma gandhi, and his message of peace. but war and regional conflict has meant the summit wasn't a full house. the presidents of russia and china didn't attend. and whatever national views these countries might hold about the war in ukraine, when it came down to business, concessions were made. g20 leaders summit declaration. "we've reached a consensus on the joint declaration." india's prime minister, narendra modi said. it was a statement that significantly watered down moscow's role in the war. the paragraph about ukraine made no mention of russia, and today, in response to a bbc question, its foreign minister said they were surprised that all countries agreed to it. translation: speaking frankly,

we didn't expect that, _ we were 100% ready to defend our honest wording of the text. the indian presidency played a decisive role and other countries also played a part. the fact that western countries consented to the language is a step in the right direction. later in the day, the french president responded to questions about the summit being seen as a win for russia. translation: i don't think it's a massive diplomatic _ victory or anything other. than the reality of isolation and minority status. many questions were asked about what could really be accomplished at a summit where both the russian and chinese presidents were not attending. but what india has effectively done is it's displayed its influence. the evidence in the paragraph about the war in ukraine, in the joint statement, consistent with india's own stance on the war and the inclusion of the african union into the g20, something which india has been advocating for.

this summit is a big step forward in this country's effort to project itself as the voice of the developing world. yogita limaye, bbc news, delhi. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. uk terror suspect daniel khalife has been formally charged with escaping from wandsworth prison. the 21 year old former soldier was recaptured on saturday. the justice secretary, alex chalk, said a0 inmates have since been moved from the catagory b jail. manchester united winger antony has agreed to delay his return to the club "to address allegations" of assault made against him. the 23—year—old was due back to training on monday after being dropped from brazil's squad for their world cup qualifiers against bolivia and peru. antony denies all the allegations. sunday has become the seventh day in a row

for temperatures to exceed 30 degrees celsius — that's 86 fahrenheit — as the unprecedented september heatwave goes on. it comes as saturday was provisionally named the hottest day of the year so far. however, the met office has warned that thunderstorms are on their way. you're live with bbc news. us presidentjoe biden flew straight from the g20 summit to vietnam, where he denied that the us is trying to curtail china's international influence, after signing off a new strategic partnership with hanoi. nearly half a century after us troops withdrew at the end of the vietnam war, president biden hailed closer ties between the two countries. 0ur asia pacific correspondent laura bicker has this report. from wartime foes to firm friends. the united states is drawing china's neighbour closer.

washington wants to counter beijing's influence in asia without creating a new cold war. really, what this trip was about, it was less about containing china — i don't want to contain china. i just want to make sure we have a relationship with china that is on the up and up, squared away, everyone knows what it is all about. cheering. this new relationship excites vietnam's next generation. even as they sing songs about appreciating what they have, it is clear they want more. this country's young and talented workforce has attracted foreign business here instead of china. a lot of, like, korean and then japanese technology companies are pumping money into vietnam to develop technology centres. and then there comes the us. i can see in future, vietnam will become another, like, silicon valley for the us, and for everyone to come here and work — i can't wait for it to happen. vietnam was once one

of the world's poorest nations. it is now one of the fastest—growing economies in asia. and it wants to stay that way. this e—scooter start—up was built by a vietnamese entrepreneur who learned his craft in the us. because i want to realise my vietnamese dream, i was exposed to the american dream, but i think i have a stronger desire for my vietnamese dream. it's the right time and it's the right generation to make the vietnamese dream become true. that drive to succeed is attractive to america. the deal being done will bring washington and hanoi closer than they have ever been before. but while vietnam might be wary of its largest neighbour, it's certainly not going to walk away from beijing. vietnam will try to balance the two superpowers. this communist country with its own brand of capitalism will not want to pick a side.

laura bicker, bbc news, hanoi. rishi sunak has expressed "significant concerns" to china's prime minister about what he called beijing's "interference" in british democracy. the comments come after it emerged that a parliamentary researcher had been arrested and accused of spying for china. nick eardley has more. parliament is the engine room of british democracy. but is it vulnerable to hostile actors? despite security checks on pass holders, a parliamentary researcher is under investigation after being arrested under the official secrets act. it's claimed he is facing allegations that he spied for china. that has caused concern right up to the top of government. the prime minister, at the g20 in india, held talks with china's premier. i obviously can't comment on the specifics of an ongoing investigation, but with regard to my meeting with vice premier li, what i said very specifically is that i raised a range of different

concerns we have and areas of disagreement, and in particular, my very strong concerns about any interference in our parliamentary democracy, which is obviously unacceptable. the man accused of working with china had access to a number of senior mps, like tom tugendhat. he is a cabinet minister, though it is thought their contact was before he became security minister. i think this committee would also. the researcher also knew alicia kearns, who chairs the foreign affairs committee. and it's not the first time chinese influence has been alleged at westminster. mi5 previously named this woman, christine lee, as having established links to the chinese communist party. she had donated to politicians, including labour and lib dem mps. this case will be embarrassing for the politicians who are close to the arrested researcher. it also raises questions about whether parliament's vetting systems are up to scratch. but it's also reigniting a debate, particularly within the conservative party, about the uk's

relationship with china. some are concerned that ministers are not taking what they see as serious threats seriously enough. the foreign secretary was in beijing just a fortnight ago, the first meeting with senior chinese officials in five years. there are some who think that was a mistake. there is no doubt china poses every day a systemic threat to us, to our institutions, to the way we live our lives. and the public position of the government does not reflect that, i don't think. the debate over chinese involvement in british life will only get louder. the question at the heart of it — does more need to be done to stop those with hostile intentions? nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. a huge rescue operation is continuing in southern turkey to move an american explorer who fell ill and got trapped more than 1,000 metres underground, deep inside a cave.

turkey's caving federation said that experts had managed to get mark dickey to a base camp 700 metres down in the morca cave. the taliban in afghanistan have criticised the closure of their main border point with pakistan this week after clashes broke out between security forces of the two sides. they said the halt in trade would see heavy losses for businesses on both sides. the busy torkham crossing was shut on wednesday after troops exchanged fire. police in chile have clashed with demonstrators on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the military coup led by general pinochet. in santiago, police responded with tear gas and water cannon to protesters who threw stones and objects at them. the coup in 1973, which ended with the death of the socialist president salvador allende, remains hugely divisive. jane chambers is a journalist in the chilean capital santiago. she told me about the protest.

well, it was a largely peaceful protest, around 500 people marching to commemorate the 50th anniversary of this military coup. as you say, there were clashes unfortunately, and some damage was done to the presidential palace. they were very much in the minority, the people taking part in the clashes, but some arrests have been made. the left—wing president has loudly condemned what went on today. what do those who we see protesting exactly want? really, it's very difficult to tell. but as you said before, this is very divisive. what needs to be understood is there is a very big divide between the left and the right in chile, and it's unclear what these people wanted. what we do know is every year with this anniversary, there are clashes. some people would say they are petty criminals out to cause damage.

some murmuring that they might be supporters of pinochet, but really they don't know who these people were today, but what we do know, on the date of this anniversary, there are normally people going out, and vandalism going on. the worry is that will happen on the 50th anniversary, on the 11th. can you put into context the significance of these protests, going back and putting it in perspective? over the years, we have seen this happen repeatedly. has anything been done to address this sharp divide? they're constantly talking about the need to never forget what went on, and the need for it never to happen again. recently there has been renewed efforts to find out what happened to the people who disappeared. there are still families looking, all these years on, for the people who disappeared. the talks of trying to get

both sides together. people on the right roundly denounce the human rights abuses that went on, but a lot of them feel the military coup was necessary, there was recently a poll where a third of the population still support the military coup. a lot of people would say good things happened in terms of chile's economic progress. although as i say, they are very much against the human abuses, the rights abuses that went on. but you do have this left and right division in the idea of how they look at what went on 50 years ago. regular updates on the morocco rescue operations on the bbc website. that's all for now — stay with bbc news. morning, all. a stormy end to our weekend

of what has been quite a remarkable week of weatherjust passed. on sunday, we saw highs of 33 degrees yet again, so that, coupled with last week's temperatures, saw seven consecutive days where we've seen 30 degrees or more — a record for september. but our week ahead is certainly going to see a change. yes, we'll have some warmth on monday, but a noticeable, fresher feel for all of us. these are our maximum temperatures expected as we go through the week ahead, so low 20s quite widely. we've got a weather front then still pushing in from the north. it's a cold front, and this will gradually introduce the change to the weather story. eventually, that front is going to push its way steadily south and the wind direction swing around to more of a northwesterly, cooler, fresher air tucking in behind. so, to begin with,10—ii degrees in the north west of the great glen. a mild start once again for england and well, for england and wales, still feeling quite humid out there. and this is where we'll see

the best of the sunshine and the warmth on monday. a showery band of rain through northern england and north wales. cloudy and sunny spells and scattered showers following in behind. fresher here, but ahead of that front, we're still likely to see temperatures peaking at 27 degrees — that's 80 fahrenheit. now, as we move out of monday into tuesday, that weather front is still there and it's still meandering its way slowly south and east, taking its time in doing so. ahead of the front is where we'll keep the milder conditions, so first thing on tuesday morning, 16 degrees fresher behind single figures for scotland and northern ireland, the front will gradually sink its way south. it could bring some much needed rain actually across the midlands, east anglia and southeast england. behind it, some sunnier spells and clearer conditions. so we're looking at 13—18 degrees here, highest values if we're lucky of around 22 celsius. then as we move out of tuesday, finally, that frontal system eases away. high pressure is set to build and keep things quite quiet. that means a chilly start

potentially in the far northeast on wednesday morning. maybe temperatures low enough for a touch of frost in sheltered glens of scotland, but it will lead to a largely fine bright day on wednesday, noticeably fresher with showers for the end of the week.

leaders of the g20 end the two—day summit in delhi. we look at whether economic balance is now shifting. and the us marks a new phase in its relationship with vietnam by strengthening its ties with one of the world's fastest growing economies. welcome to asia business report. we begin in india, where world leaders have just wrapped up the two—day summit of the g20. as we've heard, it ended with a lot of debate around the water down language around the water down language around russia. but what were some of the major economic outcomes from summit? are india business correspondent sent us this report.

india's glitzy g20
