on the the breaking news here on r t a major earthquake and morocco claims the lives of more than 1000 people. i met next at the station. the 3 soldiers are arrested in burkina faso on charges of applauding against the ruling military, which is led by the world youngest head of state at india has proposed a permanent membership for the african union in g 20. i am confident that we have consensus on this proposal. the, the group of 20,

the summit happening here in india for the 1st time. not the 20 is said to become the g 20. well, as the african union says, yes to an invitation will go through the ramifications of that this hour. the you're watching archie international. i'm rachel ruble live from the russian capital. we started with breaking news here on our t to report a death toll from a massive earthquake and morocco has now surpassed 1000 people. at least another 1200 were injured. the epicenter was around 80 kilometers from the major city of mary cash with tremors. and striking the region in the early hours of the morning the, the people in morocco are staying outdoors to avoid the danger of collapsing buildings. the epicenter was registered near the town of al,

how as were some residents, reportedly remain trapped under debris. and many locals are displaced, fearing a 2nd wave of tremors there heard from survivors who described their terrifying experience for river dorothea and i was visiting my neighbors on the 3rd floor when suddenly we saw things falling from above. we were unable to sit or stand. we ran out of the house along with many other residents. the earthquake was a very strong we was surprised by an intense vibration. iverson in the house was moving, we did in. 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 thought it was rain, but it was the sound of the earthquake was able to get a good journalist. smart j was awakened by the earthquake as it struck, and during the night he says and hit the country with no warning while locals were enjoying the start of the weekend. in a country is on

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 both of the nationwide 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 falling on top of me. and they'll forget, 1130 at night on a friday evening and mark as she's ready, where everybody's on the streets in this time 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 were the 2nd one will come up when i 1st happened around $1130.00 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 hoping that isn't gonna happen across. so i think probably the authorities were just coming cells and 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 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 slipped. so um i built my bedroom and my boss or amount of uh, 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 brakes around me and they would have collapsed onto my wife and i,

we wouldn't be here now. so, and we can also, it's pretty lucky. so we're ready to run the house. so any time the tools icon, so we're just waiting to hear the rumble, which is of a weird, weird place to be as the desktop continues to rise in morocco, international humanitarian groups are stepping in, providing much needed assistance. we heard from a awesome, i'll short hallway, regional director for north africa at the international federation of the red cross and red crescent societies. he says dealing with the earthquakes after math is a race against time to the top priority now. and we are working on multiple phones, the 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 sick. so those are priorities for us as well. so this is a race against time is always in those 1st hours and we want to also but working with them are all right, crescent, know, and their volunteers will be on the street from the very 1st dollars 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 type. so the 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. all earlier,

i spoke with economic and political analyst. i'm and i you who said it won't take morocco long to recover from the consequences of the earthquake. the earthquake actually hits in the outskirts of the america. sure area which is the most of it, these move. there was no major destructions in airports in the ports and things like that. so i think that this is going to be short term, the economic disc, morocco is actually lucky. the, the, the search would be quick, did not, it's uh, its major cities where most of its manufacturing plants are located. so, so the supply chains were not actually the, the eliminated the government of morocco. these actually, uh, has uh, an advanced health system. the americas, for example, has a international hospital it as a university house for the military hospital. so i think the,

the medical system can how can handle the all, uh, all the time in the patients. the more i can this for 2 partners, especially uh, the middle eastern countries are already started sending now to morocco. uh israel, for example, its new partners is sending a team for, for search and rescue. other countries are doing the same thing. well, it's been a fascinating day for those attending the g 20 summit in new delhi and no less than 3 game for our very own union o'neill, who's on the rooftop at our special studio for our continuing coverage of do 202023 . the 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 it's sticking points where 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 worth noting that the d 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 the being promoted for some years. russia did a china, did it, 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 in your end reloading on the use these have you thought? 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 g 20. i am confident that we have

consensus on this proposal. the prime minister reading the, i know the new movie announcing new food, surely that african union. and remember, which is the 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 full. so here at the, when you opt from this event down in dallas a section one, all started was code one. now remember in deals, president fees, teens out, and one out. family one futures, the session one was called one us and of the focus really all section one was climate fine on employment action. i remember under india presidency,

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 one to the 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, no reason 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 a declaration that will save shape off or joint communicate or not of call saw the sticking point. there has been ukraine, the china and russia on one side. and of course the west,

the u. s. and it's ally on the bill. all i'm really geopolitical explode, seeing that despite g to n t beagle 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 negotiate so it really is trying even now i'll for 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 indian to 21 or one family, one teacher. the 1st one held already earlier on saturday here behind closed doors

focused on green and sustainable development, climate change 0 emissions, environmental protection. rushes said it would share with its partners here hates assessment of the risks of the transition to the green economy, especially for vulnerable countries. on sunday, rushes 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. you follow sir, your loved ones arrival here 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 from 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 of the summit. russia strongly opposes what model sco calls you print is ation. all take 20 in

india by the way, made it clear repeatedly that it is an economic forum. had a one set to stay this way. it's refuse to invite the front end president told him, is a lensky to participate in annual digit 20 events here on the indian soil. and russia said it appreciates and praises india's 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

an effort to take advantage of that as a presume goal? it's a distance at those nation from russia and china. it appears rachel maurice and 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 b 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 too subtle 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, get misleading the g 20 so that it can participate and have a same decision making. african must play a bigger role in international relations or role that does justice to the continent and its growing population given to advertise, currently honest, 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 has visit their country such as 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 keep as well, but this one, but the one in the room. those and why my goodness. today are coming to teach us 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. the only thing you ever want to be bothered making at her when they feel that they have competition, which apparently hasn't escaped the attention of experts, these uh, basically desperate tapes, overtime plus africa is showing slipping out of the tubs. if you look at the entire between beijing and also got between most quite enough because i think it does have very much considerable and much more viable and friendly alternatives in terms of deal with all been partners in russia in china. and you just have to wake up and smell the coffee for you as far as seats. in apartment

c, the un security calling you in the future, give it to us for whatever reason. and so when does it show the voice? why suddenly i've interested all the breaks it also for me to grow rather late, but i'm still more likely to buy the fish because when they do that right now, the long 2 paths, those are the recent goods are full. you g tranche. so the idea is large for the local africa, the idea is to you patricia and of the a south and such. and that does continue to dominate the 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 rwanda. 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. we've got a very special guest to join us here on the guest i'm. it's a familiar face to r t viewers. and indeed on the website as well look 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 need that expensive because uh from previous in the so far the global solid ones of freedom from unilateral decisions and they

want the account, the way to when it comes to equity, loans, investments from uh, bretton woods institutions. so your, which of, uh, probably become of us 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 gathered to discuss their own experiences and offer each other support or to use that caleb help and 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 we're 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, but one of their employer is the u. s. military or the national security agency. american politician 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 and 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, because 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 to the 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 safe being state safe. 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 we'll 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 a hold of 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? you, as 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 tar reed, 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 with mauppin, r t, washington dc. the one now to burkina faso, where 3 soldiers had been arrested on suspicion of plotting it to over throw the ruling military. the 3 militants have been arrested and presented to an investigating judge who has arrested indicted among charges of military and criminal conspiracy. disobeying. come on, conspiracy against the security of the states and endangering the lives of others. according to their meeting, super skita. uh they do is all i made a big time. what means the weight that so if finding something in that investigation are going on to know if they don't have people who are involved in

the same cool was this quick gains. uh, uh, cartoons. how it all varies. any lead, i think uh, this is a kind of a to know, um, this appointment between the mediately. so uh you will come to the holidays, you know, and we call in bill to jean every cables, top 10. so a bit out for suspicion. we do as well at high living level because her name is victor in laws and also those wow. and the captain and the court happened that someone would love to take that place according to a security analyst in west africa. the confidence 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 times. i mean, it does all the previous government unnecessarily. he actually says, man,

i am charged by they ask them, i am civilians last system in that way. god, he knew that this was actually something that was what will happen if this is going to be m a said p go best of military in book, you know, fossil then there ought to be a new formulation of policy terms of democracy in terms of the system of governance in terms of structure to be able to actually consolidate what booking of possible has at the moment because now it as one itself, so to speak, at this moment from the french at influenza and now trying to reach out to russia almost. i see all the full amount colonies of the french government. oh, and now when in themselves falls the ad, the colonial mazda is and then gets the embrace of that falls to west, inside this. and i can see for a fact that we are not seeing the end of it the russia china forum dedicated to high.
