friday. there have been a desperate rescue efforts throughout the weekend. the latest number sadly is that more than 2000 people have been killed, 2100. internationalaid that more than 2000 people have been killed, 2100. international aid is on its way, for countries so far, qatar can make the uae, spain and britain. let's take a look at the map of where this hit. this is zooming in on morocco, luis rubiales —— rabat is up there, but if you look there, the high atlas mountains has borne the brunt of it. they're our correspondents is. we are in the village in the high atlas mountains, near to where the epicentre was. it is hard to access, but the bigger problem is once you actually here, moving around is a very rugged terrain, it is very difficult. to try to get heavy lifting equipment,

operated by rescue teams here, it has proved it's really challenging. we have seen no signs so far since we have been there, of any official or formal response. just look at the sense of damage and destruction. this was one particular neighbourhood in the spillage of a few thousand people, and most of these are either breeze block built homes, as you can see, or they are these kind of mudbrick and timber constructions. they are not built to withstand earthquakes. you can see the result. here, there was a family of six people, five of them were killed, and only one survived. the father of this family, who we are told, is now extremely distraught. we were just chatting to one resident he was telling us how things unfold it here. we arrived before dawn, there are a makeshift encampment everywhere, people have spent another night, a third night, capping out, one woman was telling us in tears, saying that they need help. —— camping out. we saw a local

charity arrive, serving out tea and bread and some soup, but beyond that there is no real sense of a fully coordinated response here. people are needing that support and at the same time, right across the region, the rescue operation is to define its efforts in order to use that time where people may still be alive in the rubble to try to get people out. tom, we can see the damage and the rubble right behind you. studio: i don't know if it is possible with your camera position, just to show us a bit more, if there is more often the distance? to try and get a sense of the scale of all of this? it and get a sense of the scale of all of this? , ., ., ., ., of this? it is hard to do from where we are because _ of this? it is hard to do from where we are because we _ of this? it is hard to do from where we are because we are _ of this? it is hard to do from where we are because we are an - we are because we are an intersection, this part of the village, but let me try and walk across the rubble here, you can see, if we turn this way, the alleyway

here, quite treacherous, you can see somebody here, they are still helping people out, in that direction, where there are some of the tense, somejust direction, where there are some of the tense, some just going to walk quite gingerly and carefully this way because there are some power lines around, and you will see down here, people are still coming back to check out the damage. this has been one of the issues. i spoke to one resident who told me that her own home is cracked, but she isjust far too scared to go back into it. that is of course because of the fear of aftershocks. it is something we saw in turkey, syria, during the very big earthquake this year, with those secondary shocks that can still bring down homes that are partially intact. in this spot, there are not many. the mountains across here, you get a sense ofjust how inaccessible, how remote these are. across the high atlas mountains, there are villages that are entirely wiped out. some people

have been saying that there have been no help whatsoever in some villages, even those local charity that we are talking about, so we have the moroccan government announcing that for countries have been invited to help, from europe as well, from the gulf, it is not going to make a huge difference, but it's not going to make enough of a difference, given the scale of this, given this region alone is home to half a million people. hello, i'm gonna follow. for our viewers in the uk we are going to step away from that news. the trades union congress is getting under way in liverpool. paul nowak is about to deliver his first keynote speech as tuc general secretary to congress. motions to be discussed include sexual harassment, gender—based violence, workers' rights and defending the right to strike. on sunday, the tuc announced that it's reporting the uk government to the united nations watchdog on workers' rights over its new strikes law. the government says the bill will help maintain a basic function and minimum safety levels in the public sector

during industrial action. let's take a closer look at what the new law would actually mean. the strikes act will require some employees to work during industrial action — orface being sacked. under the legislation, there would be no automatic protection from unfair dismissal for an employee who is told to work through a notice, but chooses to strike. if a strike is not conducted in accordance with the new rules, employers would be also be able to sue unions for losses. once implemented, the law will apply to a wide range of key workers in england, scotland and wales, including those in the rail industry and emergency services. the government introduced the law after a year of the biggest wave of industrial action seen in britain in three decades, in which a range of workers went on strike over pay and working conditions. the government said the new rules "protect the lives and livelihoods of the general public" as well as access to public services.

and "an attack on working people". but the tuc have called the new law "unworkable" and "an attack on working people". it said the law also falls short of international legal standards. here's the assistant general secretary of the tuc, kate bell on the new strikes laws. lets not let the government to pull the wool over our eyes here — this is a fundamental attack on the right to strike. what it means is you can vote in a democratic ballot for the strike action and that, of course, always is the last resort for trade unionists. —— let's not. you could then be ordered to go into work or face the sack. i think it's notjust us saying this is draconian — for example, we had yesterday, the general secretary of the european trade union congress outlining again the uk has some of the most draconian, anti—strike legislation in the whole of western europe. live now to the tuc congress and our business correspondent peter ruddick. we can see the sign, the back of the congress hall, but we go to our business correspondents, who is in liverpool, as soon as paul novak starts making those speeches. we saw

an introduction there, peter, so just tell us more about what was said. , ~ ., ., said. yes, i think there are two really important _ said. yes, i think there are two really important bits _ said. yes, i think there are two really important bits of- said. yes, i think there are two really important bits of context here ahead of this speech. firstly, this is the first address by paul novak as general secretary of the tuc, important obviously to make a mark when it comes after a period come a long period, of industrial disputes, secondly, this might well be the final congress before a general election. today's speech is likely to touch on that headline grabbing measure yesterday that you've been talking about, this decision to report the government to the un agency on workers' rights, but i also expect this speech to be quite political. essentially, to say that when it comes to the trains, to clean rivers to our hospitals and school buildings, that britain is broken and that that brokenness is

due to the conservative government and that the delegates may delegate here representing 48 unions, more than four point —— 5.5 million workers, should vote labour. it goes without saying that the government would strongly disagree with that characterisation, they say that the law that they are reportedly going to be sending to the —— sent to the un about is about protecting a minimum service levels, making sure that when a strike happens, there is a minimum level of service at the public can expect. there are also disagreements between the labour party and the unions gathered here today, however, that message which will be, as i say, quite strongly political, is still fairly significant today, for today's speech. significant today, for today's seech. , ., ., speech. yes, and the government will sa it will speech. yes, and the government will say it will point _ speech. yes, and the government will say it will point to _ speech. yes, and the government will say it will point to data _ speech. yes, and the government will say it will point to data that _ speech. yes, and the government will say it will point to data that shows - say it will point to data that shows around 600,000 medical appointments were rescheduled as a result to the net of strikes from the last 12 months or so, there was about £1.2

billion as well, there was impacted. unions also with regards to health, there were local to local agreements which saying that minimal services already provided, that these laws are not required, that nurses, for example, did come up with local agreements with nhs trusts and that this law is trying to solve an issue that doesn't exist. they would say it is also anti—strike. that doesn't exist. they would say it is also anti-strike.— that doesn't exist. they would say it is also anti-strike. yes, we know that for facts. _ it is also anti-strike. yes, we know that for facts, that _ it is also anti-strike. yes, we know that for facts, that in _ it is also anti-strike. yes, we know that for facts, that in the _ it is also anti-strike. yes, we know that for facts, that in the last - that for facts, that in the last 11 months, there were many days lost to industrial disputes, there are no doubt that these strikes that have happened, some are continuing to go on, have had an impact, and so of course, you need to take it is very unfortunate, but they aren't designed to have an impact, they are designed to have an impact, they are designed to have an impact, they are designed to send a message that when it comes to pay, and when it comes to certain circumstances of working conditions, that things need to change. however, you heard paul novak doing a round of interviews this morning, speaking to the bbc saying, he was on picket lines with nurses, with teachers, with doctors,

with ambulance workers, and they are always happy to provide a minimum level of service where it is absently necessary. that already happens. we will see a motion actually come in the wider part of the congress this afternoon, essentially, a noncompliance motion, that they will be passed by the delegates here. the tuc is very keen to point out this does not mean that they will be breaking the law. it just means that they will probably locally agree, make these agreements around minimum service levels, around minimum service levels, around people going away from picket lines, in emergencies, and essentially, that this is being used as an excuse by the government to simply bring in what they call anti strike legislation. as you say, the government strongly pushing back on that and they say this is all about making sure that the public are able to have a minimum level of service, guaranteed. it to have a minimum level of service, guaranteed-— guaranteed. it is worth noting as well, guaranteed. it is worth noting as well. peter. _ guaranteed. it is worth noting as well, peter, that _ guaranteed. it is worth noting as well, peter, that we _ guaranteed. it is worth noting as well, peter, that we are - guaranteed. it is worth noting as well, peter, that we are talking l well, peter, that we are talking about the emergency services with regard to these new laws. it is

worth noting that the police are currently banned from striking under the police act of 1996 and that this strike acts being imprinted in due course also affects border security and nuclear decommissioning, alongside railway workers and education and fire and health workers as well.— education and fire and health workers as well. , ., , workers as well. yes, that is right. you pointed _ workers as well. yes, that is right. you pointed out _ workers as well. yes, that is right. you pointed out exactly _ workers as well. yes, that is right. you pointed out exactly the - workers as well. yes, that is right. i you pointed out exactly the members of staff that the government say this legislation would cover. it is important to say that the legislation itself has passed. we are now in a sort of consultation period, the government is working out the details of how this will actually work in practice. the tuc say they have not seen the details yet of how this will work in practice, and we will wait to see how it develops. essentially, the tuc is part —— as part of the decision to report the government to the un, to the international labour organisation, essentially, they say, that even when this is implement it, it is clear in the letter of the legislation, in their view, that

this would take the uk's strike position to something that is not a case anywhere else in europe. it would be hardest to strike than it would be hardest to strike than it would be hardest to strike than it would be to say in france, spain, germany, other countries around europe. something again the government disputes. and europe. something again the government disputes. europe. something again the covernment disutes. �* , government disputes. and “ust as you mentioned there, * government disputes. and “ust as you mentioned there, peter, _ government disputes. and just as you mentioned there, peter, this - government disputes. and just as you mentioned there, peter, this act - government disputes. and just as you mentioned there, peter, this act hasl mentioned there, peter, this act has passed in the house of commons and house of lords, it got royal ascent in aboutjuly. mps voted, 315 in favour, drinking 46 against, it was a relatively close passing. —— 246 against. we saw jacob a relatively close passing. —— 246 against. we sanacob rees—mogg example criticised the bill, but it roughly split along party lines. we will hear later of the congress that carries on until later, harriet harman, and angela rayner, addressing the delegates in liverpool. addressing the delegates in liverpool-— addressing the delegates in liverool. ., , ~ ., liverpool. that is right, angela ra ner, liverpool. that is right, angela rayner. deputy _ liverpool. that is right, angela rayner, deputy leader - liverpool. that is right, angela rayner, deputy leader of - liverpool. that is right, angela rayner, deputy leader of the l liverpool. that is right, angela - rayner, deputy leader of the labour party, will address congress tomorrow. we do expect the tuc hopes

and expects that she will commit to repealing this legislation if labour win the next election. as you say, it was a contentious law to begin with. it was certainly not agreed on across the house of commons. there is still a delay in preventing it, so we will have to wait and see the details, but for unions, they say the key thing here is this threat that, essentially, you could be a worker, a member of a union which would go through all of the right processes, you could vote for industrial action, processes, you could vote for industrialaction, but processes, you could vote for industrial action, but essentially, you could then be given a work notice which would prevent you from taking part in that illegal strike action, otherwise you could face the threat of losing yourjob entirely. that is what the unions say. the government of course he disputes that, but that is the threat here, that, but that is the threat here, that people would essentially be

able to vote for lawful strike action but then would be banned from taking part. otherwise, they could fear losing theirjob altogether. let's just pick fear losing theirjob altogether. let'sjust pick up, fear losing theirjob altogether. let's just pick up, you fear losing theirjob altogether. let'sjust pick up, you mentioned fear losing theirjob altogether. let's just pick up, you mentioned at the beginning of our conversation, some of the other themes and topics that are due to be discussed during the congress, which is continuing on into wednesday. talk to us about some of the other themes alongside this key pillar of discussion? yes, that is right. _ this key pillar of discussion? yes, that is right, the _ this key pillar of discussion? yes, that is right, the congress - this key pillar of discussion? yes that is right, the congress started yesterday afternoon, so i arrived in the evening, people were already piling out of the conference centre, having a chat to each other about the debates and motions that have already happened. i told you about the motion around that strike law, which happened this afternoon, and thenit which happened this afternoon, and then it is quite apolitical date this afternoon but then continues to wednesday lunchtime. their emotions and a whole range of issues, you talked about some of them, but essentially public service investments, tackling poverty, ai is going to be a really interesting

debate on the influence on future workforces. things like gender—based violence, education, there are a whole lot of different topics that will be discussed and voted on. this afternoon, that noncompliance with the new strike law, that will prove contentious. there is plenty of things at the labour party are going to find quite difficult. potentially calls for a wealth tax of some form, something the labour party we know have ruled out. there is a whole range of topics that are going to be discussed. it is a sort of dubbed, this tuc congress is the work of parliament. —— workers's parliament. it is a whole range of topics that can be up for debate. at the top of this discussion, however, it is paul novak�*s first congress as the general secretary, novak�*s first congress as the generalsecretary, in novak�*s first congress as the general secretary, in his hometown, his home city, if you like of liverpool, and i think it is really important, of how close we are to the next general election. that

really is... forget all of those other debates and motions, that will be happening, that is the crutch of where we are today. —— rocks. ——. crux. where we are today. -- rocks. --. crux. , ., ., crux. the lights have gone off, the liuhts crux. the lights have gone off, the lights have — crux. the lights have gone off, the lights have gone _ crux. the lights have gone off, the lights have gone down _ crux. the lights have gone off, the lights have gone down in _ crux. the lights have gone off, the lights have gone down in the - lights have gone down in the conference hall on the screen there for viewers, we can see, but peter can't, obviously. let's bring some reaction to this new strike law. victoria was a scholar is head of investment dominic here is her view on why the governor has introduced these.— introduced these. what the government _ introduced these. what the government wants - introduced these. what the government wants is - introduced these. what the government wants is to - introduced these. what the government wants is to try | introduced these. what the - government wants is to try and form the new_ government wants is to try and form the new mac force a minimum level of service _ the new mac force a minimum level of service during industrial action so don't _ service during industrial action so don't get — service during industrial action so don't get as much destruction in essential— don't get as much destruction in essential areas like the nhs and emergency services, and railways. and it _ emergency services, and railways. and it is _ emergency services, and railways. and it is not — emergency services, and railways. and it is not uncommon, internationally, to see these minimum levels of service. we have the minute — minimum levels of service. we have the minute the countries in europe, for example, but the tuc believes

speech. we would cross over to him now. ijoined the i joined the union ijoined the union and someone handed me the form on my first day at work. five years later, as an activist and in a call centre, i was sacked by an agency because i had helped organise a union. a few years after that, the wonderful frances o'grady was here today... applause. frances took — o'grady was here today... applause. frances took a — o'grady was here today... applause. frances took a chance _ o'grady was here today... applause. frances took a chance and _ o'grady was here today... applause. frances took a chance and gave - o'grady was here today... applause. frances took a chance and gave this . frances took a chance and gave this activist from merseyside a place on the tuc organising academy. not once during all of my time as a union activist, did i ever think i would be stood here in liverpool as general secretary of the tuc. applause —

he managed to stay, and he married betty, and they brought up my mum and her hence the net ten siblings. grandadsjimmy was an engineer in the polish aria. he married peggy, the polish aria. he married peggy, the head five brothers and sisters. joe spent much of his working life in english electric, a hard worker, a wonderful dad and grandad, and a man who woke up with night terrors because of what he had seen during the war. i am proud to be the grandson of immigrants. proud of my family. and i am proud of the contribution that they and millions like them have made to this country. when i hear the home secretary talking of a migrant invasion, that her dream is to support people to wonder, when i say immigrants housed

on a barge with legionella, or hear the minister having ordered a mural the minister having ordered a mural the kids painted over, for me, it is personal. the real enemies of the working class in this country do not arrive in a small boat, they fly in by private jet. our movements stand for working people, wherever they were born, whatever their race, whatever their nationality. every migrant is my sister, my brother. this government shames us all because our country should never turn its back, never turn its back, those fleeing poverty, persecution or war.

turn its back, those fleeing poverty, persecution orwar. i'm proud of this city, proud of the way it has picked itself up, proud of those who have helped the generation. —— regeneration. look beyond the gleaming dockside, the museum, the taurus, the football, the music, the football, the nightlife. —— the tourists. here, one in five adults is out of work, in three kids are trapped in poverty and the advantage might demand for food banks doubles each year and 250,000 people are sat on nhs waiting lists, here in liverpool alone. it is notjust liverpool. it is everywhere. nothing works any more, no one cares. the conservatives have broken britain. they have had 13 years to sort out crumbling concrete in our schools, but five days before the new term, they tell schools they can't open, because, as i quote the education

secretary, everyone sat on their houses. can you imagine anything more of the government? across of their own making? everyone else gets their own making? everyone else gets the blame. congress, useless, past their sell by date. and yet, this government, they can't keep our rivers clean, they can't run trains on time, can't run a functioning nhs, but they can find time to attack the right to strike. congress, the right to strike is fundamental. without the right to strike, to withdraw our labour, we are replaceable, exploitable. this new law is not about private —— preserving services for the public, it is not telling us to get back in

our place, don't demand better, sit down, shut up. that is not happening, not on our watch. we fought their attack on the right to strike in parliament, we will fight it at the ilo, and in the courts, and when the first worker is sacked for refusing to work, on a strike today, we will fight it in workplaces and on the picket lines. congress, this movement will fight at every single day, until appeal. my at every single day, until appeal. my dad john spent most of his working life as a welder. he works just across the river. —— worked. if you know the industry, you know this, sometimes, there was work, sometimes there wasn't. and sometimes there wasn't. and sometimes only work going was on the other side of the world. he and my mum, anne, knew they were built the chance of a better life for me and

my brother, john. we were born in the 705, they may not have been and what a lot of money around, but we took the basics granted. no food banks in every town, no legions of people sleeping on our streets, jobs paid good union wages, and families expected that life would be better for their kids than it was for them. that is all we ask for it now. wages that go up, waiting lists that come down, kids that aren't hungry, working people treated with respect. able to go on holiday every summer, take the kids out, to treat them at christmas. it shouldn't be too much to ask for, but it is a long way from where we are and we all know who is to blame. this cabinet of millionaires, disconnected, dysfunctional, congress, disgraceful. i have been general

secretary for nine months, travelling up and down the country, talking to representatives and activists, for example like das, who showed me around airbus, 4000 members, and other representatives at b&m, showing me that the representatives are growing fast. a mental health representative in blackpool standing up for outsourced cleaners. and three messages came back to me for each and every conversation with those reps and members. one is that we have to build stronger unions, too, working people are hurting, but the wealthy have never had it so good, and three, it is time for change. in westminster. let me start with our own movements, because this is the stuff we can do ourselves. not waiting for an election, not in the legislation, but what we can do

right here, right now. those tory ministers who say that strikes don't work, tell that to the workers who want 6.5%. to the kingsmill bakers who want 9%. to the liverpool dockers who want an incredible 18% pay rise. and tell that, to public sector workers across the uk, in health, education, in the civil service, voting for action, taking action, winning better deals for members. it has been a massive year for unions. despite the winds, despite the media coverage, despite the new activists, a wet membership is not growing. —— wins. so many young workers support our campaigns, but they don'tjoin. all too often, there is not a union in the

workplace no rep comes over, it gets them to sign up. congress, nothing is more important than building a stronger trade union movement, because it takes stronger trade union movement that can deliver the change that workers need, and it matters every day in workplaces and it matters in the face of the big challenges too. without strong unions, that ship to net zero will see good jobs destroyed, and communities ruined. without strong unions, artificial intelligence, new technology, will deliver a digital dividend for the tech giants but not for the workers, and without strong unions, workers will never have the power to enforce their rights at work. myjob is the head of the tuc. i cannot recruit members to unions. only you can do that, but here is what i can do. reps are the beating

heart of our movement. but our reps need to reflect today's working class, so starting today, the tuc will train at least 500 new black activists each and every year. announcing applause employers coordinate, so we have got to coordinate. this year we will be asking unions to come together and organise across whole industries. i am proud. following the scandal of p and o, following the scandal of p and 0, that our firstjoint union campaign will be organised with seafarers and the rmt. no more p&os. i will expand the rmt. no more p&os. i will expand the our work campaign to seek union recognition for every outsourced
