have consensus on this proposal. the we're live in new delhi world. ready? there's been a big news line up. the group of 20 summit happening here in india for the 1st time that the 20 is said to become the g. 21, as the african union says yes to an invitation, will go through the wrong vacations of up this hour. the and i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. you're watching r t international. we start with breaking news on our team. more than 800 people have reported. they've been killed and around $670.00 injured in morocco after a deadly earthquake shows the country is up a center was around 80 kilometers for americans with tremors striking the region in

the early hours of the morning. the people in morocco are staying outdoors to avoid the danger of collapsing buildings . the epicenter was registered into the town of l, who's where some residents reported. they were main trapped under debris, and many locals are displaced. wearing a 2nd wave of tremors, we heard from survivors who describe their terrifying experience for who was young . i was visiting my neighbors on the 3rd floor when suddenly we saw things falling from above. we were unable to sit or stand to run out of the house, come on with many other residents. the earthquake was a very strong because we was surprised by an intense vibration. iverson and it has was moving. we did and. a what happened? my mother told me it was enough quake. i said it is not possible. then we left the house very quickly. i was in the house. i saw people going outside. i heard

a lot of noise. i felt it was rain, but it was a sound to the earthquake journalist martin jay was awakened by the are as quick as it struck during the night. he says that hit the country with no warning while locals were enjoying at the start of the weekend. as a country is a certain state of shock, there's a certain amount of a panic and disbelief. just about every single morocco city from the top of the country to the bottom and a nation wide. people are leaving items coming to stay on the streets because they're already worried about the 2nd quarter, 1st one happening above level. so if you look at the time, it was something like about 60 to 90 seconds of the same total. i didn't really time. it was a very so really experience for me. i have to say i was sleeping at the time. i woke up to find all 4 rolls on the floor, shaking and quite honestly um, but supply services cement, folding on top of me. don't forget, i live in the city of nights on

a friday evening america. she's really what everybody's on the streets in this part of the unit in the summer, buying food and generally enjoying the atmosphere. it wasn't predictable to and you know, i think everybody was, was really taken aback by it and as you'd expect a now, because a number of people were the 2nd one will come up when i 1st happened around 1130 i think 10 minutes afterwards. the authorities want to people the 2nd one might be coming in a couple of hours. so that should be about now. we're all hoping that isn't going to happen, of course. so i think probably just thirty's were just coming. so i was making sure that some the repeats as quite which is quite a common phenomenon. i understand didn't happen if you look behind that you can see uh, an inside of the wall. a brick who completely collapsed on to a section of my house, which had wooden suspended tools. i punched a few holes in it. this is about 3 minutes is where i slipped. so um i built my

bedroom and my bathroom out of uh, double skin wooden was kind of the same style of american houses that probably save my life. if i have gone for putting bricks, commercial brakes around me and they would have collapsed onto my wife and i, we wouldn't be here now. so um we can also is pretty lucky. um we're ready to run the house. so any time the tools i put um, so we're just waiting to pay the rumble, which is of a weird, weird place to be. so as the desk told, continues to rise in morocco, international humanitarian groups are stepping in, providing much needed assistance. we heard from the host some l. chicago, a regional director for north africa, the international federation of the red cross and red crescent societies. he says, dealing with it was quick's after mass is a race against time of the top priority now. and we are working on multiple funds,

a search and rescue to get to those trouts to get them the medical emergency medical assistance needed and the transports to provide, to provide the 1st aid. but also in beryl. critically, to take care of the survivors who are homeless, maybe needing food and water. there are many people who are survived pregnant, women and children, elderly and 6, also our priorities for us as well. so this is a race against time is always in those 1st hours and we want to also working with them are all gonna read, crescent, know, and their volunteers who lived in on the streets from the very 1st hours to make sure to minimize further injury prevention further injury by making sure that people stay away from collab starting early collaborative building, but they see corporate shelter. this is an area with snakes and scorpions and so on . so sometimes we see further, you know, indirect,

let's say types of the injuries. how think from this people on the road, badly damaged rosie? we see a lot of motor vehicle accident. so we urge caution. and we urge people to really be extra, extra careful. we don't want to make it worse for the medical responders and the search and rescue teams. let's cross live now to economic and the political analyst. i mean, i you, but good to have you on with us. this was a very strong earthquake. that's caused a substantial destruction and as we know more than 800 that so far, how much do you think this has affected the country overall as well? uh, other than the psychological effects uh on the americans. the generally uh, things are back to normal this morning, especially here and those large cities of rebuts and casablanca, uh, business as usual. but so there is still a psychological impact, and people are still waiting for another earthquake. and i know that's

a real concern. they the tremors and after shots when turkey and syria were hit with the the devastating earthquakes earlier this year. i know the economic consequences were quite severe. how difficult to do think it will be for morocco to recover or they could automatically usually, uh buy uh there is that there is, uh, there is a slower gdp overall, but it's usually just uh, the lift is shorter. usually air is a bit above one percent in the 1st to you here. but here in morocco, morocco is actually lucky the, the, the search will be quick, did not. it hits uh, its major cities where most of its manufacturing plants are located. so uh, so the supply chains were not actually uh, eliminated. so, so morocco is very lucky or the earthquake actually hits in the outskirts of

america. sure. area, which is the most of it, these move. so more than $800.00 people confirm the so far there are also many moroccans who are displaced in and out on the streets. do you think that the governments can handle this? yes, uh the the government of morocco. these actually uh has uh, an advanced health system. america's, for example, has a international hospital. it has a university house, was in the military hospital. so i think the, the medical system can, how can handle the all, or all the coming the patients uh, for the 3rd week. also the cities, other bigger cities looking that could be, are, and the capital sooner and casablanca can handle most of those patients. okay,

well we'll leave it there for now. i mean i, you can nomic and the political analysts. thank you. thank you. well, it is a fascinating day for all those attending the g. 20 summit in new delhi and no less than 3 again for our very own unit o'neill who is on the rooftop at our special studio for our continuing coverage of the 20. 2023. the yeah, thanks very much for indeed intriguing is the word of the day i would suggest that it's all going on. we're really into the the weeds of things now on day one of the g. 20 summit and new tally the 1st the in the house health side asia in general as well. what's been happening on the opening day? well, there's been a round table with all the country's leaders and in attendance on prime minister and the rent for moody at making opening at remarks on

a lot has be an unfolding here on saturdays day one. we're going to get into that at this news hour and get all the details and bring it to you. but one of the big news lines is indeed, is that the g 20 is set to expand its membership as prime minister moody has welcome the african union to be a full permanent member of the g 20 club. yes, indeed, we can take a listen. in fact, to the welcome remarks, including not from indian liter, never in promoting it gives me it's how did i yes, i'm, i, this period and the 21st century is the time to give the entire world new direction . it is a time when all challenges demand new solutions and therefore we must fulfill our responsibilities with a human centric approach. india has become a symbol of inclusion. india has proposed permanent membership for the african union in g 20. i am confident that we have consensus on this proposal.

5 minutes to read the i know the new movie announcing new food, surely. that african union remember which is a med dog groping awful will 50 countries. it is now officially a fault who g 20 a. that announcement also in all likelihood is expected tomorrow that the g 20 bill will be called the g $21.00. now full. so here at the when you opt for on this event down in delhi, section one, all started was code one. now remember in deals, residents, c's, teens out and one out. family, one futures with session one was called one us and the focus really all section one was climate fine on. i'm for alignment action. i remember under india's presidency,

and this was one of the key areas that india believe that it needs to focus on also biofuel lines. that is something that perhaps would have been a major topic of discussion in a session. want to date everything as far as the g 20 summit on day one is concerned. it's going well on a time and started over the remember now region will be meeting reading, shaking hands with the, with the needles from across the was, i'm really, we are keeping track of all of those sessions and they will be of course, tomorrow a big day when we're going to be waiting to see whether that daily declaration will take shape off or joint communicate or not of call saw the sticking point. there has been ukraine, china and russia on one side. and of course the west, the u. s. and it's ally on the bill. i'm really geo political explode. seeing the

despite g to n t being a forum where all the international economic cooperation should be, discuss stuff. it has been sort of become a battle ground. so to see, to discuss geo politics, which is unfortunate, but india being the media to being the probable color and next or she is off. it really is trying even now i'll full that joint communicative, come out. but of course, we'd have to keep our eyes on that for tomorrow. in the run up to the g. 20 summit in india, reports have been circulating in western media of an e u charm offensive on the global science and all that that could entail. the presumed goal is to distance those nations from russia and china with the leaders all both those states ops and from the event, with both the chinese and russian president staying away from the to day gathering in new delhi. the you wants to seize the moment,

according to people familiar with the preparations, who ask not to be named discussing internal strategy. the 27 nation block aims to show that it is serious about redefining its partnership with africa. despite the trouble of legacy of colonialism, they said it looks like the european union has become that guy. the one who schemes to hate on you at an event when they find out, be or significant other won't be there. sounds like african leaders attending the g 20 in the absence of russia and china are going to have to put up with being backed across the room by western officials getting all up in their personal space. like every tree does at night clubs. the western process reporting that the e u is planning to avail itself of global summit as an occasion to step up. it's outreach, getting all touchy feely with the global so on the sidelines were sounds like something for which you need a safe word. well, i would at the club so that you're best he can come and rescue you. it's not like

you leaders have been to settle about their intentions. either german chancellor or life schultz made a trip back in may to african union headquarters in ethiopia and announced that germany wanted the g 20 to make it official with the african union. we want to support the african union, get misleading the g 20 so that it can participate and have a same decision making. african must be a bigger role in international relations. a role that does justice to the continent and its growing population given in africa is currently on us free of cruise that effectively inject european new colonialist interests that have been getting a little too hands the with the african resources for far too long. africa just might not be in the mood to entertain western promises of commitments which so far have yet to materialize or the usual western pickup lines either. for example, here, zambia is opposition leader putting silver tongued playboy washington in its place

during vice president commer harris's visit. the country that does tor poured so many governments enough that does lead so many close enough income and other parts of the country that does acute. so mental go any does enough and other parts of the world the key level, but just remember the proper department room. those are one look at that. they are coming to just about the american vice president's trip as part of the western seduction strategy. born of fear that africa just might want to data around specifically with russia and china. it's the kind of cleaners that typically comes from and security. the only thing you ever want to be bothered making an effort when they feel that they have competition,

which apparently hasn't escaped the attention of experts. these uh, basically desperate kids also die in cost. africa is showing slipping out of the tubs. if you look at the coding ties between beijing and also got the 2 most going off the top, i think i have a very much considerable and much more viable and friendly alternatives in terms of giving up and partners in the shop in china. and you just have to wake up and smell the coffee for us. thank you for street apartment c, the un security calling you in the future, give it to us for whatever reason a. so when decision was, i was thinking, i forgot the point, why suddenly i very interested all the brakes. you know, so for me, simple, pretty good and rather late,

but i said more likely to buy the fish because when very do that right now the 5 forgot long to box. those are the rates are, these are pool, you know g tranche. so the idea is not for the local africa, the idea is to you to bump attrition of the a certification gender that has continued to dominate the relationship between africa and the vision security over what russia and china might have to offer africa would also explain why right after russian for administer sergey laughter of toward africa. last year job i didn't had to interrupt his nap schedule and go all the way over to egypt. for the cop 27 summit was secretary of state anthony, blinking lives the continent on visits to south africa, congo, and vermont. that now perhaps the you will find a way to somehow build new and better ties with africa. but their best shot comes

from being totally honest and authentic about what they really want, rather than like, decrease at the bar who pretends that he has absolutely no agenda tech about what they really want. rather than like, decrease at the bar who pretends that he has absolutely no agenda, as well as that is rachel morrison taking us through. that's but up here on the rooftop in new delhi. i'm delighted to say another great guest has a racist with his presence to discuss at today. i'm indeed the summit's main issues . so let's welcome onto the program now retired and major general in the indian army deal were seniors, also senior vice president of the global economist for and sarah, welcome to the program. we heard their prime minister moody in his opening remarks at. talk about expand essentially all not must so of one 1st. busy and family one

future thing that it, he wanted to take a human centric approach to development. now these aren't just buzz words. he believes that no one should be left behind in the global side, he once are as demanding a larger voice executor. you'll see the moment it was decided that the presidency, 12, b, g, 20 summit will come to india. the 1st thing was to decide on the team of this summer. and the team of the summit was taken from our scriptures, which says, was the day before the book on, which means one was one family and one future. yeah. and the basic essence is that the moment you start treating everybody in the was as a part of your family, then your total outlook changes. so far, we have been divided by various dependent considerations, whether the out country related conservation is on uh,

grouping and related considerations or economy related considerations. no v. m as to bring everybody together, get the popes up 7 to french. what everybody b a is that once you start typing the bp, the countries which are not yet included. and once this of getting the light a divide, especially like technology and the benefits of the globalization, then they're gone. we've also do when they create opportunities for you. you also start in blowing your head in done a rising tide less. oh yes, you know, everybody's getting benefited. there seems to be a type of division i'm merging know, notwithstanding the owner of india, hosting the event. but is that something you seem to g 20 over all? no i, i will look at it a little differently. you'll see what i see is that as of duty of what thing has his company to them. i'm not coming, he has a clean his position so he's justified his own decision. so not them. and with the

ongoing, you claim that trouble and the kind of environment which is here and the focus of not being jump on it because the focus of going to be being economic and financial, if he doesn't gum by being present the head. so represented is equally good. that is no problem at all. i agree, you see benefits be major issues being discussed. mm hm. and all those 50, i'm very hopeful i'm seeing the 1st set of well the only based on the 2nd set, the permissions thoughts at the originals already having gone through with the latest representatives of the different countries. i'm very, very hopeful positive and confident that about 45 of them roughly are going to get degree by everybody. the global platform for the bully gone means will be the 20 and of from the optical model as well as the $21.00. hm. and uh, with the 21 being here and almost all the models, the laid through development banks. all the i buys all the global financial

institutions being part of this, this really continued of the main major platform and main page of the should i say meeting ground for everybody. as part of the brakes is concerned, it will always remain a small part of the process is going on for the but i'm getting bigger, getting it so it's expanding, it's expand, expanding what you have to be a very still. i mean uh if i may say it roughly what 4 people hundreds either be what is this gonna go? what about $55.00 revealed 90 percent of the big was but i was more and more african come. yes. i suppose leave that. that's. yeah, that's going to increase. all right, let's cross live now to sam amadi, a lawyer and former member of the nigerian electricity regulatory commission. sam agreed to have you on today. we heard the indian prime minister announced that the african union will become a permanent member of the g 20. i'd like to hear your thoughts on that because

i want to know that there are so yes, i see you took i so i think this is what you can please. the outbreak of we had several perform young people to the economy, to be part of the good cause shown on governors of the economy. if you guys know what to do for african countries, and hopefully you have to go from just the usual due to injury. but just to reset the most of just find out who is going to come do that business reach you. so here's a good on the african union is joining at this particular time. and how beneficial do you think that this could be for the continent?

but i think i do the most up to the, to, i mean, in the winter, just as long as you did that, i forgot to say. so in jefferson it is that it is interesting. do think that they did, they did a bunch of russia. china, also looking at percentage it to a visual our guided to sit do for you to, to consider africa advertise now as well. some say the new frontier competition didn't waste before with a divide, allow the domestic conversion of blogs and a new power wheel to the phone book. so i think that's probably bits. there's supplement response, but if you're walking okay, in a sheet, i think the 1st of this problem is too much trouble. i forgot about it. do i need you to shop for different winches?

yeah. why don't you just report enough for me? it meant to be part of the system that i just use, like you know what, you know, a jaunty look at what i do for the suppressed beautiful movie. how's it going to be a seats separately? if you don't, i forgot to probably see you, you know, don't go on. is that what you probably have that google ranch store. i purchased a car crash was a level 2 and a huge trade. we just do some outside. i think that's really what the. yeah. your degree of use or do you do to, to do horse was or the disney adapter? definitely. cortez my other number is for the internship with it as far as benefiting the g 20. what would you say are the main things that the african union

can bring to the table? i want to forget to the tournament within the to advertise. i want to present that is your thoughts. i think guys there saw which country are those are really works order, but important, you know, as for the new technology. so there's also abuse, confusing or difficult to exhibit 18 ad to do. okay. because i think there's a lot of pollution or does it mean large markets for the goose ups or surfaces so we offer for the of the people in africa i'm. i forgot to tell them more like one of my catch in terms of the most part of our job the job district is it'd be much more beautiful to actually just to members. i think this is which are getting the lack of that to be part of the process or stop to go watch or wait for you to wind up. as a result, there's probably, there's

a access point, this money back times to the how and again, maybe i forgot which room really to get into, you know, outside the rules that to you and the judge. all right, we're gonna leave it there. san, embody a lawyer and former member of the nigerian electricity regulatory commission. great to have you on the to the the right to say with our, to for more of our weekends along coverage of the g. 20 summit. you can also go to our website, r t, that com and follow us on social media for updates at any time, and back in about 30 minutes by the
