i'll just put the dispute because the breaking news here on r t a major earthquake and morocco claims the lives of more than 1000 people i met at mass devastation. india has proposed permanent membership for the african union in june 20. i am confident that we have consensus on this proposal. the, the group of 20 summit happening here in india for the 1st time that the 20 is said to become the g $21.00. that's the african union says yes to an invitation. we'll

go through the run the vacations of that this hour in washington house, a conference for whistleblowers who expose no seasons about us. government agencies, ortiz at kayla mount. them speaks with some of the participants. 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 the lie for moscow. this is our t international. i'm rachel rubel. we start with breaking news here on archie. the reported the death toll from a mass of 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 marrakech, with tremors striking the region in the early hours of the morning. the

people in morocco or stain out doors to avoid the danger of collapsing buildings. the epicenter was registered near the town of our homes where some residence reportedly main, remain trapped under debris, and many locals are displaced, fearing a 2nd wave of tremors. we heard from survivors who described their terrifying experience for the 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. 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 and it has was moving, we didn't know 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 the sound of the earthquake general as martin jay was awakened by the

earthquake, as it struck it during the night to says it hit the country with no warning while locals were enjoying the start of the weekends. as a country, there's 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 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, 1130 at night on a friday evening america. she's really what 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 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'll 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 uh an inch on a wall. a brick who completely collapsed on to a section of my house, which had wooden suspended tools. i just punched a few holes a minute. 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. so we're ready to run the house. so in time the tools icon. so we're just waiting to pay the rumble, which is a, a, with, with less debate. as the desktop continues to rise in morocco, international humanitarian groups are stepping in, providing much needed assistance. we've heard from her some, i'll shark hallway regional director for north africa. and the international federation of the red cross and red president societies, he says, dealing with arrows puts after mass is a race against time to the top priority now. and we are working on multiple phones, a search and rescue to get to those trouts, to get them to 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, but working with them are all right, crescent, know, and their volunteers 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 gloucester and easily cut off the building that they see proper 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 damage roles if 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. 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 is on the rooftop at our special studio for our continuing coverage of g. 20. 2023. 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 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 bit 3, at least 4 at rush it because it appears to been paying a neutral expense 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 noting that the g 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 and that'd be promoted for some years. russia did a china, did it, not india give it's blocking, invited at the african union to join. and 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 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 of india and having to move the unknown seeing new fish, surely that african union and remember which is

a med dog being awful. well 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 dallas a section one, all started was code one. now remember in deals president sees teens out and one of the family, one future i was with session one was called one. a us and of the focus really all section one was climate fine on. i'm for alignment 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. 12 dates, 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 coal 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 expired. seeing the despite g to n t being the 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 father of alcohol or a negotiator, it really is trying even now i'll pull 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 for last. during these years summit certainly a lot are always expected to speak at 2 of the 3 planner recessions, all named off to the official multiple, the engine 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 machines, environmental protection, rushes that 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 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 of 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 seek level gathering kinds of air pressure on india specifically coming from d 7 countries such as front is germany. greg, 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 this 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 and it's one set to state based way. it's refuse to invite the front end. 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 india's commitment and his position to stay and keep everybody for the magic 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 and 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? 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 games 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. so i was 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 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 chance or 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 or role that does justice to the continent . and its growing population given to 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 is visit the country that does to forward so many governments enough that does lead so many close enough to go and other parts of the country that does acute so mental go any does enough and other parts of the world they keep as well, but just remember 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. 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 kids also died plus africa is showing slipping out of the tubs. if you look at the coding ties between beijing and also got between most going out the car, i think it does have very much considerable and much more viable and friendly alternatives in terms of developing partners in the shop, in china. and you just have to wake up and smell the coffee for you as you for a street in apartment c, the un security calling us never fails to give it to us for whatever reason. and so when decisions i forgot those why? because why suddenly i very interested all the brakes. you know,

so for me people bridge across the lake, but i said more likely to buy the fish because when they do that right now, the 5 forgot to punch. those are the rates and goods are full. you g tranche, so the idea is not for the local africa, the idea is to you, but patricia and of the a. so official gender 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. blips, 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 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 need that expensive because of fun for you. so in this whole fall is the global solved. ones are 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 few or which of the probably become of a sudden freak the

a so called whistle blowers conference hasn't 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 are these caleb mounts and has the detail or 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 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, cuz i thought i was just following the federal acquisition regulations. i ended up, i 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 you. 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. i 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 whistle blowers in 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? 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 mannings 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 would mauppin party washington dc

the now to burkina faso, where 3 soldiers had been arrested on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the ruling military. the 3 militants have been arrested and presented through an investigating judge who has arrested indicted. the mon charges of military and criminal conspiracy, disobeying to mones conspiracy against the security of the states ending dying during the lives of others, according to remitted, super skita. uh they do is all i made a big pot. uh what means the weight that they would find something uh in depth investigation. i agree. own to know if they don't have people involved in the same cool was this queen jeans uh, uh, cartoon. so they all babies in the lead, i think uh, this is a kind of a to know, um these up quickly between been really quick so you will come to the holidays,

you know, and we call him very team every cables, top 10. so a bit out for suspicion we do as well at higher level level because her name is victor lots and also those wow. and the captain and the court happened that someone would love to take that place. well, according to a security analyst in west africa, the continent has a bumpy ride ahead. the list attempted to fail it because i mean, you, you, you look at the, the structure you look at when he takes you to pull up, getting lots and times. i mean, it does all the previous government unnecessarily. he actually says, man, i am charged by the ask some a m civilians last system in that regard. he knew that this was actually something that was going to happen if this is going to be m a said peek out 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 book, you know, fossil has at the moment because now it has one itself, so to speak, at this moment, from the french and influence and now trying to reach out to russia almost. i see all the full amount colonies of the french government are old and i went in themselves for the, at the colonial. must this and then gets the embrace of that, both the west inside this and i can see 4 or 5 that we, i must seeing the end of it or the russia china forum dedicated to high tech end of business ties. says welcome to delegations for about 2000 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 chairman of the chinese entrepreneurs union in russia or the wherever it's

least over at the end of this form with belief that this event is a useful event. and that is why many chinese businessmen came here are very happy that the trade turned over between russia and china increased by 36 percent from january to july, but believed that in the future we will reach even higher figures. and by the end of the year, the turnover will amount to $200000000000.00. always good luck, development and prosperity to this for them. and hope for the further development of the trade relations between russia and china. many businesses have come here from china, including those in the fields of mechanical engineering in agriculture, as well as those that develop advanced technology. we also see that this year, a lot of machinery, including agriculture equipment, has been supplied from china. this is a very good as it shows the healthy pace of exchange between our countries. chinese business people like to see to have cars on and are ready to sign trade agreements to develop cooperation in the future. last year the trade turn over between cars on and some regions of china was $1600000000.00. but throughout this for him we expect to increase the sticker in the future will also develop commit.
