the the, [000:00:00;00] the breaking news here on r t a severe earthquake and morocco claims the lives of more than one of the challenges in the people i met at mass devastation. the 3 soldiers are arrested in between affonso on charges, applauding against the ruling military, which was led by the world's youngest head of states. and india has proposed permanent membership for the african union in g 20. i am confident that we have consensus on this proposal.

the we're live in new delhi world. ready? there's been a big news line of the group of 20 summit happening here in india for the 1st time . the 20 is said to become the g. 20. well, as the african union says, yes to an invitation literally through the ramifications of up this hour the live from moscow on rachel ruble. this is our t international. we start with breaking news here on our to the report a death toll from a massive earthquake and morocco has now surpassed 1000 people. at least another 1200 were injured. the epa center was around 80 kilometers from the major city of america. ash, with tremors and striking the region in the early hours of the morning. the people in

morocco are staying out doors to avoid the danger of collapsing. buildings epicenter was registered near the town of l, who's where some residents reported labor main, trapped under debris, and many locals are displaced, fearing a 2nd wave of tremors. we heard from survivors who described their terrifying experience to the end. i was visiting my neighbors on the 3rd floor when suddenly we saw things falling from above. we were unable to sit or stand there and out of the house along with many other residents. the earthquake was a very strong push of high school. we was surprised by an intense vibration iverson and it has was moving. we didn't. a what happened when 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 thought it was rain, but it was a sound to the earthquake journalist martin j was awakened by the are as

quick as it struck, and during the night he says it hit the country with no warning. locals were enjoying the starts of the weekend in a country isn't a certain state of shock. there is a certain amount of a panic and disbelief. just about every single morocco city from the top of the country to the boston and a nation wide. people are leaving on, so i'm coming to stay on the streets because they're already worried about a 2nd quite your 1st one happening above the 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, and they'll forget 1130th nights on a friday evening. and mark cash is really where everybody's on the streets in this

part of the summer buying food and generally enjoying the atmosphere. it wasn't predictable to and um, you know, i think everybody was, was really taken aback by it. and as you'd expect a now, because a number of people worried that the 2nd one will come up when it 1st happened around 1130, i think 10 minutes up towards the authorities, one 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 gonna happen, of course. so i think probably the authorities were just coming cells and making sure that some the repeats of quite which is quite a common phenomenon. i understand. didn't happen if you look behind that you can see an inch 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 slept. so i built my bedroom and my bathroom out of

a double skin. wooden was kind of the same style of american houses that probably saved my life. if i have gone for putting bricks, commercial bricks around me, and they would have collapsed onto my wife and i, we wouldn't be here now. so, and we can also is pretty lucky and we're ready to run the house. so in time the tools icon. so we're just waiting to pay the rumble, which is of a weird, weird place to be as the desktop continues to rise. and i'm a rock though international humanitarian groups are stepping in, providing much needed assistance. we heard from her some al shark holly regional director for north africa at the international federation of the red cross and red crescent societies. he says dealing with the earthquakes aftermath as a race against time to the top priority now. and we are working on multiple phones, the search and rescue to get to those 12 to get them the medical emergency medical

assistance needed, and the transports to provide, to provide the 1st aid, but also in parallel. 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 going to write crescent now, and their volunteers will be on the street from the very 1st hours to make sure to minimize further injury prevention further injury by making sure that people stay away from gloucester and usually cut off the building that they see copper 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 injuries. how think from this people on the road, badly damaged urology? 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. it is a fascinating day for all those attending the g. 20 summit in new delhi and no less than trade in for our very own you know, neil, who's on the rooftop at our special studio for our continuing coverage of j. 202023 . the yeah. the opening day up, the g 24. i'm here in new delhi. the 1st time the nation has ever held. the summit is a rump, a lot was decided upon today just to go through some of the main issues. know the d . 20 member states have agreed on a joint declaration that was

a 9 spy prime minister and a rent rep moody, earlier on it really signals a big event change because there had been talk, it wouldn't happen the 1st time a junk communicate may not happen because the sticking points were the ukraine conflict and also who's going to pay for climate change. so that appears to have been iron died. we await the final communicate at tomorrow's sunday. and when that comes at, we will of course, bring to in detail and just go through the fine print. but it does seem to be a type of victory, at least for at rush it because it appears to be in pain, a neutral stance without directly at condemning at moscow. at the g 20 house called for a peaceful resolution of the conflict as well. it is a worth, nothing about the t 20 may not going forward be known as not any longer because the

african union is to become the latest fully fledged member. so g, $21.00, maybe just around the corner at data being promoted for some years. russia did a china, did not india give it sparking invited at the african union to join on they seem to have fully agreed to that. let's have a look at the remarks from prime minister and to render moody on that. it gives me how did i, yes, i'm, i, this period in the 21st century is the time to give the entire world in your 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 a permanent membership for the african union in june 20. i am confident that we have consensus on this proposal. the prime minister of india,

i know the new movie announcing new fish, surely that african union remember, which is a med dog grouping of all 50 countries. it is now officially a fault who g 20. that announcement also in all likelihood is expected. tomorrow that the g 20 bill will be called the g $21.00. now cool. so here at the when you opt for on this event down in delhi, section one, all started was code one. now remember the deals president sees teens out and one out family one futures, the session one was called one. a us and of the focus really all section one was climate fine on employment action. i remember under india 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 world. i'm really, we are keeping a track on all of those sections and they will be, of course, tomorrow, a big day when we're going to be waiting to see whether that daily a declaration that will save shape off or joint communicate or not. of coal 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 that the spider 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 follow, well call, or a negotiator. it really is trying even now i'll follow that joint. communicative, come out. but of course we'd have to keep our eyes on that for tomorrow. well, just to point dodge rushes for administer circular rough is representing versus interest that the g 20 plenary sessions with more on that at let's hear from ortiz, maria flores during these years. summit certainly a lot are always expected to speak at 2 of the 3 plenary sessions, all named off to the official multiple, the engine to 21 or one family, one teacher, the 1st one child already earlier on such a day here behind closed doors, focused on green and sustainable development climate change 0 machines, environmental protection, rushes sad. it would share with its partners. here. hays,

assessment of the risks of the transition to the green economy, especially for vulnerable countries. on sunday brushes for a minister will be speaking at the final one future session promoting democracy and strengthening the role of the countries belonging to the global majority. people. so your loved ones arrival here are most who claimed its biggest concern this year . he is the wes attempts to politicize, did you try and take a level gathering kind of air pressure on india specifically coming from d 7 countries such as front strongly, gregg, breaking under the supervision of the united states of america to include the circle in the valley paragraph on ukraine and all final documents, all the summits, russia strongly opposes. what's most cold calls you pennies. ation all take 20 in india by the way, made it clear repeatedly that it is an economic form. had it one set to states based way. 8 refused to invite the frame. the president told him, is

a lensky to participate in annual visit. 20 events here on the indian soil and russia said it appreciate some praises induce commitment and its position to stay and keep everybody pragmatic and practical and hopes that the countries will be able to overcome their internal divisions and come to consensus necessary to adopt the final declaration in the run up to this g 20 an event. there had been a lot of broad costs. a lot of newspaper headlines at talking a bikes, an offensive on the global side by the use states in western media. not the background to that is that you have the russian and chinese leaders not here. so at is there a effort to take advantage of that? as a presume goal is to distance at those nation from russia and china. it appears rachel morrison has been digging deeper into this one for us 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 the 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 be fact 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 was 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, all of 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 getting to sit in the g 20 so that it can participate and have a same decision making. african must play a bigger role in international relations. a role that does justice to the continent and its growing population given to africa, is currently on us free of twos 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 is visit the country that does tor poured so many governments enough that does lead so many close enough and other parts of the world. the country that does acute so mental go any does enough and other parts of the world they came as well. but just remember the, the proper department room. those today are coming to, 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 in security.

they only seem to 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 tapes. overtime costs africa is showing slipping out of the tubs. if you look at the going ties between beijing and also got between most going out to come, i think it has very much considerable and much more viable and friendly alternatives in terms of giving up and partners in the last year in china. and you just just wake up and smell the coffee for us. thank you for his seats. in apartment c, the un security calling you and may have refused to give it to us for whatever reason. and so when does it show the voice? why suddenly they are very interested on the brakes. it also from

a simple bridge across the lake, but i said more likely to buy the fish because when bird to the right mother, if i forgot to patch the recent goods are full. you g tranche. so the idea is not for the local africa, very nice to see you, but patricia of the a. so if you said gender, that does continue to tell me there's no relationship between africa and the vision secure me over what russia and china might have to offer africa would also explain why, right after russian for a minister, sergei laughter of toward africa last year, july 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 and he 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 the bar who pretends that he has absolutely no agenda. we've got a very special guest to uh, join us here on the guest. um it's a familiar face to our t viewers and indeed on the website as well, like and p writer and political commentator. if you look at the popular g, d, p of d 7, it's less than the popular g d p of uh, brakes before its expansion and brakes needed expensive because uh from previous in the so called the global solved ones of freedom from unilateral decisions. and they want the account, the way to when it comes to equity, loans, investments from the bretton woods institutions. so your, which of, uh, probably become invest centric.

the a so called whistle blowers conference has kicked off in washington to raise awareness about the struggles of those who report wrong doing in the us government . the participants gather to discuss their own experiences and offer each other support, or to use that kayla melson has the details. if workers observe on ethical conduct foul play or illegal activities on the job, they have a responsibility to report it well, at least in theory. but we all know that the consequences were an employee speaking up on the job can be serious. us law has been written in a way that is intended to protect employee whistle blowers and allow them to report any wrong doing they become aware of to the proper authorities for one of their employer is the u. s. military or the national security agency. american politicians say they want transparency,

but when individuals like edward snowden and chelsea manning stepped forward, it didn't go so well. here in washington dc, a conference has been conveyed to discuss the rights of whistle blowers and providing them with the protections that they need in order to report malfeasance among the speakers is c i a whistleblower john kerry onto this conference in my mind in my view since it began has taken on even more important because it is easy for us to forget the challenges that whistle blowers are up against. it's one thing to blow the whistle and then lose your job. it's another thing entirely to blow the whistle. lose your job, lose your family, not be able to work again. and in some cases, as we've heard today, commit suicide or attempt suicide. so this is one of these opportunities for a variety of different whistleblower groups to get together share best practices and then figure out ways to make the transition for whistle blowers easier,

easier to accomplish. one of the most important examples, i think i've hit pock proceed in american legislation. surrounding whistle blowers is the fact that we actually have a whistle blower protection law in the united states. but it does not offer protections to anybody associated with national security. so if you work for a bank, let's say, or for the department of agriculture, then good for you. go ahead and blow the whistle and you're going to be protected in the those cases. if you are at the c, i a the say the f b i the pen of gone, you take your life and your career into your own hands and nothing good is going to come of your with the blowing we had an opportunity to speak to some of the guests about their workplace transparency concerns and protections for those who come forward to report misconduct. i was at the pentagon, i was the director of the defense suicide prevention office when i felt like there were some conflicts of interest over the contracts. and i made a disclosure and that forever changed my life. so it became a whistle blower,

very unintentionally, cuz i thought i was just following the federal acquisition regulations. i ended up removed from my position and then it took me about 5 years to fight my case, and i eventually was able to win my retirement benefits when i started this journey and i was feeling very alone, i ended up per se, cuz my attorney said i had spent about $7500.00 by then and there was about to be unemployed. and she said, look, you're a smart girl, go figure this out. so i thought, well, the best way to figure this out was by talking to people that have also been through this experience. and so i started to look for people play. i was in charge of cove and 19 public data in surveillance. i was asked to post misleading data to give the false image of the say things to say to reopen, i refused, and i was fired and then became public enemy number one of a of a sort of governor seeking to be president has been relentlessly stocked,

harassed by members of the sanchez's staff, both on the government payroll and in his campaign. and although i've received a lot of international recognition and awards, it doesn't help you get through those really hard times, i think will have covered a lot of really important topics. it's to me, especially important to have that focus on the veterans affairs agencies and was the blowers within there because we made promises to people who signed up to serve and we haven't kept them. and it's a very under appreciated, under acknowledged area to whistle blowing. attendees to the conference, had a march to the white house where they had a ceremony unfurled roses, and called for the white house to hold the ceremony in the rose garden in order to honor those whistle blowers who have spoken up. now, there were many gas from around the world who spoke to the conference via digital hook up highlighting the situation for whistle blowers internationally. in addition to that,

we had domestic speakers from the united states to talk to the podium in washington dc, describing what it's like to be a whistle blower or a whistle blowers advocate in america. it's a touchy subject. where do you draw the line? us leaders may say they're concerned about the protections for whistle blowers. but we all know that edward snowden was forced to flee the country, and the chelsea manning spent years in prison for revealing illegal activities. former biden stafford, tara reid, was recently for us to take asylum in russia. and in addition to that, at this point, we've got julian assigned to is facing extradition from britain. because wiki leaks provided a platform for whistle blowers to publish classified information. all of this has people around the world smirking when they hear us leaders talk about human rights and workplace protections. these were among the important issues discussed at the conference in the us capital. they would mauppin party,

washington dc. the now 2 burkina faso, where 3 soldiers had been arrested on suspicion of planning to overthrow the ruling military. the 3 militants have been arrested and presented to an investigating judge, who has arrested indicted them on charges of military and criminal conspiracy. this a bank, amone's conspiracy against the security of the states ending dying during the lives of others. the west african state has recently faced a wave of instability. and the last year alone, burkina faso saw to who is that resulted in a change of government. according to the military prosecutor, the soldiers intended to encourage about of regime change. the country is currently being governed by an interim military leadership before promised elections. following the military coup, last year, abraham trailer, a became the world's youngest, had of states. well, according to

a security analyst in west africa, the continent has a bumpy ride ahead. a list attempted to feel it because i mean, you, you, you look at the, the structure you look at when he takes he to pull up, getting lots and time. i mean, it does all the previous government unnecessarily. he actually says, man, i am charged by the ask them i am civilians last system in that way. god, he knew that this was actually something that was would hop if this is going to be m a said p go best of military in book, you know, fossil then there ought to be in new formulation of policy terms of democracy in terms of the system of governing us in terms of structure to be able to actually consolidate what booking of possible has at the moment. because now it has one itself. so to speak of this moment from the french at influenza, and now trying to reach out to russia almost as steve, all the, for my calling me. so the french government, a whole know,

went in themselves all the, at the colonial. must this and then gets the embrace of that falls to west inside this. and i can see for a fact that we are most seeing the end of it. the rest of the china forum dedicated to high tech and business ties says welcome to delegations from about 2 dozen countries hosted by the central russian and the city of cuz on the event has succeeded in strengthening the already robust connections between friendly nations . as noted by the international development director of games of the future, a good movie shows games of the future has already launched successful broadcasts of preparatory tournaments that are shown in different countries. and one of the innovative things we have done when talking about sports marketing is how we distributed our concept of innovative tournament is not only based on the traditional way of broadcasting through tv channels, but also on innovative methods where we combine virtual end traditional supports will also utilize the best practices of cyber sports tournaments by successfully

spreading our signal through streamers and blockers around the world. this allows us to cover a large broadcast area and let people know about the upcoming events that will take place in february in march of 2024. as we discussed at the session, our chinese colleagues devoted to part of their report to the games of the future. and the concept of the fidget to support this moment is already actively developing representatives of 30 countries and 100. 3 collapse with international athletes have already participated in the preparatory activities. national representatives of fidgeted support in many countries of the world. the actual developing already 11 agreements have been signed among them for representatives of china. so bad i run and other friendly countries. we expect to sign, we speak to more countries in the near future, which then in their countries will take leadership roles in digital support. they will organize tournaments, talk about the games of the future and develop our direction and the concept of sports in every possible way. we already know the positive assessment of the joint sports events between the rush and china, of which there were over $600.00. in particular,
