authorities hope to get a much better picture of the devastation created by a powerful earthquake overnight. the tremors brought down buildings and sent residents into the streets for fear of aftershocks. the 6.8 magnitude quake was the strongest in the region in more than 120 years. cnn's larry madow joins us from lagos nigeria. in terms of the devastation what more do we know about rescues that may be taking place this hour? >> reporter: paula we now that the rescue operation kicks into high gear as just became dawn in morocco. part of the problem overnight when this earthquake broke, the visibility was limited because

i.t. was night. some people spent the night outdoors afraid of aftershocks and this etch center was in the region in the high atlas mountains. the impact was affiliate near the historic city of marrakech. the tremors felt as far as rabat and casablanca. 296 dead, 193 wounded but when they begin to assess the damage when they can see clearly the sphere is that the numbers could rise. the u.s. geological survey has just updated its guidance that significant damage is possible. you 100 to 1,000 people could have been killed in this earthquake. that is consistent with 296 dead and we're also seeing some buildings totaled, damaged, some buildings completely collapsing near the high atlas mountains, but in the historic city of

marrakech, some historic buildings, back to the 12th century and there's been damage partly because they have been around for a long time they have survived the elements, these buildings have been around for quite a long time, maybe aren't as strong as they should be. from one person, in casablanca and even there they could not sleep overnight. >> the [ translated ] the house rocked aggressively, didn't understand what was happening. i thought it was only my house that was moving because it's traj i'll and old. i heard people screaming. everyone went out of their houses. the street is full of people and women screaming, that's what happened. even now people can't go back home because they are still afraid. >> it's been a very anxious night for so many people across

morocco, after this earthquake, especially when authorities warned of possible aftershocks. the depth was only 11 and a half miles under the earth's surface. but it is likely that those casualty numbers the number of the wounded will be higher, when trying to run rescue operations paula. >> as dawn breaks there and they start to learn more about people who may be trapped in some of those mountain communities. larry i know you are going to stay on top, thank so much. benjamin brown a cnn researcher happened to be in morocco when the earthquake struck. >> reporter: people making their way into plazas and parks, and then it kicked in a couple of minutes later, screaming began. i think when people realized obviously the extent of the damage and some of the injuries, obviously this happened in the

night. so many people just waking up people in the streets in their pajamas as well, and when the extent of the injuries became pair paramount, people out of their homes in extremers and wrapped in carpets, out in the street, appear to be quite serious head injuries and a lot of blood and so bad to the extent that i saw one instance of an ambulance having to turn away an injured woman because they were at full capacity, the ambulance full of injured people. >> can you imagine an ambulance an full capacity. obviously we'll stay on this story for you. we'll bring you more coverage in the minutes and hours ahead. we do want to take you down to new delhi where prime minister narendra modi proclaimed that the african union will become

part of the, parts of the city have undergone significant makeovers in preparation for this event but two key players were not there. vladimir putin and xi jinping and that is significant. divisions over the war in ukraine have some observers wondering whether the leaders will be able to issue a joint communique this year. the cnn kevin liptak joins me. good to see you as the summit gets underway. biden is there but it is a crowded agenda. where does the white house believe they are likely to make some roughing? >> certainly i think their main goal at this summit is to take to the developing world which is what prime minister modi has tried to put to the center of this group he is hosting. try to convince members of the so-called global south that the

u.s. can be a good partner and will be a good partner particularly when it comes to things like infrastructure. and the president does have an opening here because certainly he is challenging in some ways china's role in the developing world. the u.s. really trying to make the case that the u.s. can be a better partner, not involve the coercive lending practice that the u.s. accuses beijing of engaging in in the developing world. so you will see him armed with proposals including proposals to reform the world bank, invest more in that body, the white house says that could unlock potentially hundreds of billions of dollars for developing grafts for developing countries. but you will also see him announce this major transit corridor, through the middle east and on to europe. this will potentially unlock a massive amount of global trade indirectly a challenge to china's attempts to expand its trade relationships around the

world. so president biden certainly has an affirmative agenda here. but that's not necessarily papering over the real differences that the leaders of the g-20 still have when it comes to ukraine and that is the big issue that is looming over the summit. we are told that president biden will speak about that when it's his turn to speak in the larger summit gathering that is present now. he has had success at other forums, g-7, supplying ukraine with military aid that hasn't necessarily been as convincing for some members of the developing world, the so-called global south including g-20, countries like india like where we are, which continues to purchase large amount of russian fuels, and president biden's message is defending democracy is a global imperative and the

country's self interest to take a stance against russia aggression. there is work to to finalize this draft communique to come up with some kind of consensus lank around this. but remember, russia is still part of the g-20, even though putin is not here they would need to sign off on a joint communique at the end. it does remain how successful they will be at the end of the summit paula. >> the language important if they do indeed come one any kind of a statement as all. kevin liptak, thanks so much. now a set back for mark meadows the former trump white house chief of staff. on friday a judge rejected his bid to move his georgia election subversion case to federal court. he long with donald trump and 17

others are charged with trying to overturn the state's 2020 results. meadows says his case should be moved. the judge determined the charges were largely in fact related to political activities. a move to federal court could pave the way for him to try to invoke federal immunity and get his cased dismissaltogether. the case does not bode well for donald trump also trying to get his case moved to federal court. a new report, shows that a special grand jury in georgia recommended indicting twice as many as was ended up charging. >> reporter: south carolina senator lindsay graham. >> how do you verify signatures? >> former georgia senator david purdue. >> there are huge irregularities in georgia, they need to be

corrected in my opinion. >> and former georgia senator kellie lefler. all on a stunning list of 39 people that a special grand jury recommended for indictment. after the panel spent months investigating efforts, to overturn the 2020 presidential election in georgia. >> it is not a short list. we heard a lot of very compelling things like very compelling evidence. >> special grand jury recommended indictments for 21 individuals who did not end up facing charges in fulton county including the former and current u.s. senators, and attorney boris epstein and former financial advisory win. fani willis did charge the others on the list. >> a fulton county grand jury returned a true bill of indictment charging 19

individuals with violations, of georgia law. >> including trump and 18 co-defendants. >> you can't ever accept when they steal and rape and rob. >> another man trump 2020 campaign official mike roman was charged but was not mentioned in the special grand jury's recommendations. those who were charged have pleaded not guilty. while some who have recommended charges are criticizing. brad raffensperger, thought graham pressured him to mass legal ballots. >> i got the sense it belied implied that then you could throw those out. >> the south carolina republican has denied that assisting he was carrying out his legislative duties. >> we can't criminalize.

>> to call a special legislative session to aid trump's quest to overturn the election results. in a meeting also attended by lefler, all as lefler and purdue were facing a senate runoff election in 2022. >> we can get to the bottom of what happened in these elections. >> both lefler and purdue lost their runoff races. >> our thanks to sarah murray there. now hurricane lee has lost a bit of its punch but still a major storm and may strengthen again. the national hurricane center says lee is now a category 3 storm with max winds of 115 miles per hour. 185 kilometers per hour. expected to pass near puerto rico but the region will experience swells that cause life threatening surf and rip

training. gearing up for more. these soldiers practicing mountain warfare specifically to assault russian occupied crimea. if we come to crimea there is a big possibility we would really need these skills. we would definitely be fighting in the mountains because there will be partisan warfare. >> but ukraine's army is still far away from crimea and come with a major human cost as the number of dead and wounded escalate. kyiv now specifically telling women with medical education they must register for military service starting october 1st.

in an exclusive interview with cnn's farid zakaria, urging patience without ruling out any compromises from vladimir putin. >> did you see any compromises with putin in other issues? did somebody see? with chechnya, with georgia? with moldova? he occupied it all this time. >> reporter: but the russians are facing major issues themselves. short on manpower and ammo, the u.s. believes vladimir putin is actively advancing communications with north korea to provide ammunition to russian. praises his country's alleged military advances claiming pyongyang has now developed a tactical nuclear submarine.

to get dozens more of those vehicles in the coming months. very important as the ukrainians try to sustain those counteroffensive operations. cnn london. president president, you can reach the full interview on sunday 10 a.m. new york time, 3 p.m. in london only on cnn russia is trying tput a veneer of legitimacy on its operations in ukraine. heading to the polls friday for what officialsly dubbed regional elections. voting will be underway on sunday even though the international community dismissed the are sham. general apathy among voters. she says the process has nothing to do with normal elections and people know who will win either

way. cuban authorities say they have busted a human trafficing network. the operation was aimed at recruiting cubans to fouet for russia against ukraine. cnn's pat rick gutman is in hasan. havana. >> fighting for russia's side in ukraine. according to the cuban government intermediaries working here and in russia would recruit cubans some they said had a criminal past to take up arms against ukraine. these intermediaries would promise more than 2,000 dollars a month and sometimes a path of citizenship to russia, get on a plane or already living in russia and join the russian military. cuba is not pointing their

finger at their ally russia for this, but not responding to requests for comment but russia of course is activity seeking soldiers in their invasion of ukraine. the cuban government while it is a long time ally of russia, and has received economic aid, from russia, says that cubans are not allowed to serve in foreign armies, not allowed to be what they are called mercenaries. should face up to 30 years in jane for human trafficing and for being mercenaries, russia has sent tankers of oil and vital aid to cuba during its most invasion was sparked by the u.s.'s and nato's actions is not the fault of russia.

apparent cuba is drawing the line and refusing to allow cubans to fight in the front lines of this war. patrick gotman cnn havana. >> the latest next. powerful earthquake hit morocco overnight. i was told my small business wouldn't qualify for an erc tax refund. you should get a second opinion from innovation refunds at no upfroncost. sometimes you need second opinion.

have you been behind me this whole time? yep. >> a new video just in to cnn shows the ongoing rescue efforts after a powerful earthquake hit morocco overnight. the government says all available resources have been activated. the sun has now come up. the 6.8 magnitude quake destroyed and damaged many buildings in the region. the interior ministry says more than 300 people killed and more than 150 others injured. as the sun is rising officials and residents are trying to assess the damage and determine how many rescues they need to mount. this video shows the harrowing incidents friday night, some

just barely escaping that falling debris. as we just saw in that video. joining me today is keshal jashal, i thank you for joining me, as everyone wants more information about this. in terms of this magnitude of an earthquake apparently it is unprecedented in more than a century. this was a shallow earthquake. what does that imply for structures? how might that affect the intensity of the damage and what we are seeing there in that video? >> a very good morning to you and your viewers. before i start i must say my thoughts and prayers goes out to those who are affected by this tragic event in the country of morocco. as you said, roughly 8 hours ago, a magnitude 6.8 occurred around 11 p.m. in the city south southwest of morocco. so this earthquake was one of

the largest and deadliest as the country has seen in a long time. and as you said, the depth was pretty shallow. and what it means is, essentially, the strong shaking that originates from the source of the earthquake that can easily reach out quickly to the affected epicenter region and that area could actually experience really strong shaking. according to our estimate, approximately 2.8 million people experienced strong to very strong shake from this earthquake. and this earthquake was followed by a magnitude 4.9 aftershock which occurred south southwest of the main shock. again the epicenter was close to the city of marrakech which is about 1 million people. a big city. and of course there are several villages and small towns that were heavily affected from this earthquake. >> that is a lot of good

information you just gave us. nearly three million people affected and a 4 many 9 aftershock. given the violent shaking you described how worried are you that there could be more aftershocks that again compromise buildings that have already been damaged from the first earthquake? >> for the benefit of viewers i must say this country has basically has an ordinary climate typical mediterranean climate. begin the climate people often prefer to use mortar construction, brick constructions or in the urban area non, many buildings it took

only few seconds to bring them down. the shaking was pretty strong but at the same time, these buildings are not really designed to the modern seismic standard that we know of. and thus they really cave in pretty quickly killing unfortunately all occupants that they have. this is a very unfortunate situation and i think the important worry that the people have is the potential of experiencing aftershocks. and if they're trying to rescue people what would that lead to. so could produce sizable aftershocks, and these kinds of earthquakes can still pull down some of the buildings that are left over from the main shock earthquake. so this is a very tragic time

for the country. and extremely difficult situation given what we are witnessing. >> it certainly does remain a difficult situation and as you updated us on, nearly 3 million affected. an aftershock of 4.9, this quake unfortunately has killed more than 60000 people -- 600 ped given kind of construction we would see in this area. we thank you for your time. that was really valuable information, as we say the sun comes up in morocco as they continue those rescue efforts. thank you for your time, we really appreciate it. >> absolutely, you're welcome. turning to india now, where the opening session of g-20 session is underway. after welcoming leaders from the richest nations, pardon me, including u.s. president joe biden. he also delivered a major

statement, that the african union would become a part of the group. a champion of the developing world. cnn's vetika assud joins us. no one would accuse president biden of lacking ambition. there are still points of contention. >> well, hectic negotiations will be going on for a number of hours paula. under the presidency of india since it holds the rotating presidency this year. he'd want that joint statement to be one with a consensus of all the members who are participating in this summit. but that looks quite unlikely. at least there will be hectic parlays because you have russia and china on the table though

their leaders aren't there, the there are deputies of xi and putin. modi's opening address of the g-20 summit. >> after covid-19, the whole word has faced issues of trust and the war has increased this trust deficit. if we can overcome covid-19 we can overcome the trust caused by the war. >> this is a splintered g-20 we are talking about. members who have different agendas and coming to the table with it. if this is an indication to go by what modi said, it is an acknowledgment of just this. it could be a fractured mandate at the end of the day, paula and that could be for prime minister modi like i said he wants this summit to be a successful one. i see only three options really,

either a joint statement which could be something more bold than the one that was in bali or a watered down one, in bali during the g-20 summit or a joint statement issued at the end of the summit. he would also want the global south to get a lot of space during the discussions with the other g-20 leaders and like you pointed out having the african union getting a permanent space in this block is a huge step forward something that modi had been pushing for the last year. along with that climate change is also on the agenda but of course consensus on key areas there would be another challenge that we will face. but given the next 12 to 14 hours there will be a lot of negotiation happening just to get a joint statement on the table that russia and china also will agree to because ukraine is still the most dominating factor, the most important

discussion that biden and some of the west leaders will be pushing for. they will want a strong statement to come out but of course you'll have russia and china pushing back on that. back to you. >> just because they want a strong statement doesn't mean we'll get it. thank you. we will be right back in a moment.

the strongest in the region in more than 122 years. stay with cnn as we continue to bring you updates from morocco. many 75th anniversary of the state's founding the leaders of russia and china sent congratulate try greetings to kim jong-un. from what you can tell from the information that's out what stood out for you? >> well paula this was slightly different than some of the military parades we have been seeing remit. we didn't see the intercontinental ballistic missiles, what the north koreans called, what they would do to

support any war effort. so the sort of things that you saw was you did see rocket launchers but you saw them hidden in the back of trucks. you also saw tractors that were pulling people the soldiers and also weapons. so it's really what kcna state media called it the backbone of national defense. so it was different from what we are used to seeing in recent months certainly as kim jong-un has been showing off his arsenal. it was also about diplomacy though. it was about the founding of the delegation, as you said there were letters that were given to kim jong-un congratulatory message from xi jinping and vladimir putin of russia. cpi saying he was ready to strengthing strategic negotiation and expand bilateral ties in all respects in a

planned way by pooling efforts. these comments are what washington and seoul are listening for, there could be a meeting from kim jong-un and vladimir putin, we heard this from the u.s. side, u.s. officials say they believe it may come this month and we do know also in vladivostok in russia, there is the eastern economic forum so all eyes are on that to see whether or not any kind of meeting does materialize. palm ah. >> we'll leave it there for now. appreciate your help. now having too many tourists becomes a problem for one of becomes a problem for one of japan's top tourist sites, now mount fuji could lose a badge of honor, ahead.
