responding quickly enough to help people in remote regions of the atlas mountains. some villagers have been digging through the rubble with their hands to recover bodies buried under collapsed buildings because heavy lifting equipment can't travel on roads blocked by landslides. nearly 2,900 people are now confirmed to have died when the 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck about 45 miles south—west of the tourist hub of marrakesh. international emergency workers are joining the recovery effort, as tom bateman reports from the atlas mountains. dawn lights up the destruction in the village of moulay brahim. morocco's most remote hillsides have become encampments of the survivors. hakima has lost contact with her son, who fled the village, she says, to get help. she was already grieving. her husband had been sick and died before the quake came.
9:03 pm
"we are staying in the streets. "i feel bad for my son. "his dad passed away and i have to take care of him," says hakima. people are here to help each other. the village's mosque, still standing, becomes a makeshift refuge. but in the morning we spent here, there were no signs of any official aid response. hussein survived when his son freed him from the wreckage of their home. but his wife, fatna, was killed. "my wife, she stayed in the house. "the ceiling came down and struck her. "this comes from god. "but thankfully my son is safe," hussein tells me. this is where homes once stood. now people walk through
9:04 pm
a cascade of ruins. recovery attempts across this remote region have been painfully slow. so far, this clear—up is people having to do it by themselves. one of their neighbours at the top of the street here, the house was struck. a family of six was inside, and five of them have been killed. only the father has survived, but it feels like people barely even have time to grieve. you can see the humanitarian challenge that now remains. in another village, locals pull a body from the rubble. spanish rescuers are on the ground there, too, saying the destruction is absolute. meanwhile, british rescue gear has arrived with a team of 60 specialists deployed from the uk. people are retrieving what they can from homes too damaged to live in. morocco's survivors are now on the land with all they have left.

9:12 pm
with herfather to pakistan have been found by police. muhammad sharif said he had been hiding the children in his home. sara's father and stepmother were not in the building when the children were taken. the terror suspect daniel khalife has been remanded in custody accused of escaping from lawful custody. westminster magistrates' court heard how he may have used bedsheets in his escape from wandsworth prison. a rescue deal for the wilko high—street chain has fallen through, meaning that all 400 of its stores across the uk will close by early october. it means that all 12,500 staff who work there are likely to face redundancy. another discount retailer, b&m, is buying up to 51 wilko stores, but it will rebrand them and it's not clear if any wilko staff will be retained. you're live with bbc news. the uk prime minister, rishi sunak, has accused china of interfering in democracy. a parliamentary researcher was arrested in march, accused of spying for china.
9:13 pm
that's a claim that he has denied and that china says is a fabrication. mps have called for the government to take stronger action. i spoke to isabel hilton, who is a visiting professor at the lau institute, king's college london, and founder of the non—profit organisation china dialogue. isabel gave us her assessment on how to deal with china. we can describe china as a threat and swear never to have anything to do with it, but that doesn't make it all go away, it's like a toddler who puts his hands before his eyes and imagines that you cannot see him. it is not like that, china is the second largest economy in the world, we are deeply intertwined in terms of our supply chains and trade, as a result of policy pursued by this same government over many decades. and so, you know, it is all very well to say china is a threat, and in some ways china does threaten liberal democratic values, these are very well known.
9:14 pm
but we have to find a way of dealing with it, rather than simply denouncing it or grandstanding. as you say, it is not so long ago that the conservative party in particular was talking about a golden era of uk—china relations, so what has gone wrong? why has the relationship seemed to have broken down to this extent? it is the same conservative party, after all, and we have lurched from the golden era to, you know, scary china without really stopping for much thought in between. and this is largely political, it seems to me, that in the cameron—osborne era, they were very keen to have chinese investments in the united kingdom, to the point where they sanctioned the idea that china should build and operate nuclear power plants here, or install huawei 5g, which is part of our critical infrastructure. there has been a pushback from those, i think quite rightly. you know, those were not prudent.
9:15 pm
but to rush in the opposite direction without really developing the kind of sensible triage that we see, for example, in the european commission's approach, where the approach is to say, "we will cooperate and trade where we can, confront where we must, and we do recognise that china is intrinsic, it is a systemic rival to western liberal democracies." that is true. our challenge is to deal with it, to contain our differences, to manage our differences, and to keep the relationship reasonably stable.
9:16 pm
ifi if i could come to you, david, it has been an interesting relationship with china over the years that the conservative party has been in power, it is not so long ago that we were talking about this golden era between the uk and china, but things seem to have changed. yes. between the uk and china, but things seem to have changed.— seem to have changed. yes, they have, seem to have changed. yes, they have. partly _ seem to have changed. yes, they have, partly there _ seem to have changed. yes, they have, partly there has _ seem to have changed. yes, they have, partly there has been - seem to have changed. yes, they have, partly there has been a - seem to have changed. yes, they - have, partly there has been a change of attitude within the conservative party, but we shouldn't ignore the fact that the evidence about china's behaviour has emerged, and what we have seen is china in terms of the treatment of the people of hong kong and of the uyghurs deteriorate, they have become more aggressive internationally. but i do agree with what isabel hilton has said, in that we need to take a measured response to this in the sense that china is not going to disappear, and we are going to have to coexist with china. that means we have to be wary, we have to be vigilant, and you know,
9:17 pm
we have to face down any threats in terms of our own national security, but we also have to recognise that, as she said, china is not going to go away, it is going to be a major economy for the rest of this century, and we need to find ways in which we can de—escalate attention wherever possible and recognise that a strong china and a strong western world are going to have to rub along together, however awkward and difficult that will be at times. these are considerations for the uk government, but presumably the same considerations for the us. yes. government, but presumably the same considerations for the us.— considerations for the us. yes, and we have seen _ considerations for the us. yes, and we have seen them _ considerations for the us. yes, and we have seen them on _ considerations for the us. yes, and we have seen them on full- considerations for the us. yes, and we have seen them on full display i we have seen them on full display for several— we have seen them on full display for several months now. china's goal is to be _ for several months now. china's goal is to be the _ for several months now. china's goal is to be the number one economy in the world, _ is to be the number one economy in the world, the pre—eminent superpower in an attempt to displace the united _ superpower in an attempt to displace the united states, and so whether it

9:19 pm
shortly, but i want now to go to north korea. the north korean leader kimjong—un is believed to be on his way to russia to meet vladimir putin. the armoured train that mr kim uses forforeign visits has reportedly left pyongyang and the kremlin has confirmed mr kim will visit russia "in the coming days". it will be his first international trip in more than four years. the leaders are expected to discuss the possibility of north korea providing russia with weapons to support its war in ukraine. i spoke to samuel greene, who is a professor of russian politics at king's college london and senior analyst at the center for european policy analysis. samuel told us more about this meeting and whether this would be expected. well, this has been in the works for a while, we have known and western intelligence has been showing, neither side has been hiding the fact that there have been some flows of armaments, low—level flows, pretty basic stuff from north korea to russia for quite some time now. sergei shoigu, the russian defence minister, recently was in pyongyang, where he was feted, and they talked about this growing relationship, and this has been telegraphed now
9:20 pm
for the last several days at least, that there was going to be a trip to russia, likely a meeting between the two leaders. and, you know, it is reflective of something that is not surprising, which is that russia doesn't have a lot of friends, so it needs to get a little bit closer at the moment to those who are willing to do business with it. samuel, what do you think the two sides want from each other? well, there are at least two things going on, one is pragmatic, so russia does want arms, and north korea is in a position to provide at least some support in that regard. and north korea wants technology, and there's certainly a lot of technology, particularly for its missile programmes, that russia can provide. but i think there's also a symbolic and a political element to this, which is that i think moscow is trying to signal to the west about exactly how far it is willing to go in causing trouble around the world. the us and europe are rightly
9:21 pm
concerned about nuclear nonproliferation and about the role that north korea plays in the world, and russia is, ithink, demonstrating that it is willing to actually help north korea become more of a problem for the west, unless the west is willing to do a deal in ukraine. a lot of people will be concerned about the nuclear issue. do you think that's something that the two leaders will be discussing? well, you know, the reality is we will not get an accurate readout or press conference at the end of the summit, so i don't want to make any predictions about what they will be discussing, but it will certainly be on the minds of western leaders, and rightly so, nonproliferation is a serious issue, north korea is a difficult player in the world, and one that the us and its allies injapan and south korea there are very worried about, and so the implications of this are serious. on the other hand, i'm not sure that translates into a willingness to give russia what it
9:22 pm
wants in ukraine. so we understand that kim jong and is on the strain that is travelling across the asian continent, due to arrive in russia on tuesday, it will have to apparently stop at the border to have its wheels changed so it fits the gauge to go into russia itself. david gauke, iwonder what you make of the meeting between the two. ~ ., . . , you make of the meeting between the two. ~ ,, . ., , , two. well i think, clearly, these are two regimes _ two. well i think, clearly, these are two regimes that _ two. well i think, clearly, these are two regimes that are - two. well i think, clearly, these are two regimes that are very i are two regimes that are very hostile to western values, but as your previous speaker pointed out, putin really does not have very many allies, there are repeating... david, i'mjust allies, there are repeating... david, i'm just going to have to interrupt you, president biden has arrived in alaska, we are going to

somewhere in the uk, unlike the previous seven days, which was a record for september. we've never had seven consecutive days back to back where temperatures have reached 30 degrees celsius before, but the heatwave is ending. we've seen this weather front move in across the north—west of the uk through the day today, introducing cooler and fresher air and that will continue to push its way gradually south—eastwards. i say cooler and fresher — actually, temperatures will be getting closer to average for the time of the year as we get towards the middle part of the week. now, we still did have warm sunshine across east anglia and south—east england. temperatures still reached, well, 26 degrees or so in places, whereas across the north—west of the uk we have thicker clouds and outbreaks of rain from our weather front and it's the front that will bring a change to cooler weather. so overnight tonight, clearing skies for scotland and northern ireland, with the weather turning chilly. for england and wales, a slow—moving weather front tending to pep up with some persistent outbreaks of rain for some, whereas across east anglia and south—east england
