Thats according to the countrys interior ministry. The 6. 8 magnitude quake struck in the early hours of saturday morning, localtime. Vision from marrakesh the closest major city to the epicentre shows crowds gathering outside, damaged buildings and piles of rubble lining streets. The quake� s epicentre was in a remote area of the high Atlas Mountains, and tremors were also reportedly felt in the capital, rabat, some 350km away, as well as casablanca and essaouira. Here you can see more of the aftermath. Hospitals in marrakesh are reported to be treating many of those injured. Were following this story and will have more later this hour. Leaders from around the world are gathering in delhi, india for this years g20 summit. The g20 is comprised of 19 countries and the european union. Together they account for an estimated 86 of the worlds Gross Domestic Product and two thirds of its population. They are set to tackle issues including global Food Security, Climate Change, trade, and the war in ukraine. Russian president Vladimir Putin and chinese president xi jinping are notably absent from this years summit. In one of his First Official duties as host, indias Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with us president joe biden. The two leaders discussed indias recent moon landing and investments in indian technology. They released a joint promise to deepen their relationship saying it was based on trust and mutual understanding. Live now to our south asia correspondent samira hussain.

Of course, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is now greeting a lot of the World Leaders that are arriving at the venue. We already know that the un Secretary General has already arrived, and has been greeted by the Prime Minister and now is when the real work is due to begin. 0nce everyone is here, theyre going to be participating in meetings. And remember that the theme of this 620 remember that the theme of this g20 summit is one family, one earth, and a lot of the meetings are going to be framed around issues that impact the developing world and the world as a whole. 0ne family, which cant always agree on everything, though . Thats absolutely right. Despite indias best efforts during its presidency of the 620 to try and frame all conversations around issues that impact the developing world. So issues like poverty and Food Security and, of course, Climate Change. The war in ukraine is likely to dominate discussions. Now, india certainly wants to get a joint statement out at the end of this two day summit but, because of the divisionings with regards to the war, it may be difficult to get that. Now, we are hearing that there is a rough communique that has been put together and that just this one paragraph with regards to ukraine remains a sticking point. For the moment, thanks very much forjoining us. And we can bring you live pictures of the arrivals at the g20 summit. There you go. That looks like the Prime Minister of bangladesh who is arriving there, of course, one of the many regional leaders who will be attending the g20. Many regional leaders who will be attending the 620.

The other side of the ledger is a really difficult, divided g20 group, and so india will struggle to getjoint agreements. Therell be some kind of outcome document but it will be very, very difficult, essentially impossible, to get consensus on the key issues. fix, consensus on the key issues. A 620 that is divided.

As you know, Finance Ministers a few weeks ago werent able to issue a joint communique, but there will be, as there was for them, some kind of chair� s summary or a document that would come out under any scenario. The question is how much of that will get the leaders blessing. It will be much more difficult with president xi missing, to sign off on some compromises. I think it will be tougher on the communique. Think it will be tougher on the communiuue. � ,. ,. , communique. Also we mentioned there, of course, communique.

There are High Expectations that india will rise those issues up and put some more pressure on things like Multilateral Development bank reform, more money going to development. Solutions to the debt challenges that many developing countries are facing and a number of other issues that india will help elevate here even if there isnt consensus on the documents coming out of the actual meeting.

More than 60 people are still missing more than a month after fires devasted the Island Of Maui in hawaii. You may remember scenes like this this was the Historic Town of lahaina. Most of it was destroyed in the blaze. The death toll currently stands at 115 people, but Officials Say a final figure is uncertain. Updated figures released by the Hawaii Governor on friday show that 66 people are potentially still unaccounted for. This is a significant drop. The initial number was over 3,000, and as high as 385 just last week. More than 6,000 survivors of the fire are still sheltering in hotel rooms. The fires are now considered the worst Natural Disaster in hawaii state history. Speaking earlier, Governorjosh Green had this message for the survivors who have not been able to return to assess the ruins. I need to share this with you. The ash, we are told, is quite toxic, so we need to be careful. 0nce toxic, so we need to be careful. Once the epa has completed its removal of Hazardous Material from the affected areas which is ongoing, this process will take three to four months we can begin the removal of other debris. To be clear, people will get in soon, but the long term Debris Removal is going to take a great deal of time.

Theres a fresh warning from the United Nations radical changes are needed to stem Global Warming including a quicker phasing out of fossilfuels. Before we get to that lets take a quick look at how we got here. In 2015, almost all the worlds nations thats 193 countries plus the eu signed the Paris Agreement�. There were several targets but a key one was to pursue efforts to limit global Temperature Rises to i. 5c. But the un estimates the planet is currently due to warm by two point four centigrade above Pre Industrial Levels thats well above the target. On friday, the un released the First Comprehensive assessment on Climate Action since that Paris Agreement was signed a Global Stocktake ahead of climate talks in dubai later this year. Heres climate editor justin rowlatt. Wildfires raged through Southern Europe this summer, made more intense by heatwaves that wouldve been virtually impossible without Climate Change, according to scientists, but todays un report says it is not all bad news on Global Warming. Virtually all the nations of the world agree on the urgent need to tackle the problem, says the un, and they are already taking some action. The problem is itjust isnt anywhere near enough. Im in a place of hope and despair. Despair because we have warmed the planet already well beyond one degree we are on track for 1. 5 and 2 and these are worrying places to be in. I also have hope because we see how countries are putting together real plans to change their entire economies. But progress is being made. Just look at this global thermometer. Back in 2010, un reckoned the world was on track a Temperature Increase of 4. 8 degrees celsius. It warned that would be catastrophic. By 2015, countries had promised cuts that brought that down to 3. 2 celsius. By the end of the Climate Conference in glasgow in 2021, it was down to 2. 7 celsius. And the un now reckons we are headed towards a Temperature Rise of around 2. 6 celsius. But that is still way over the 1. 5 Celsius Target The World has agreed. This is about pace and its about recognising that we need to speed things up, whether thats in the uk or, indeed, across the world, and thats why it comes back down to the appetite of World Leaders to recognise the urgency of the situation and be willing to act. But is the appetite there . A rapid switchover to Renewable Energy will be indispensable, says the un. The uk has made world leading progress on that transition but today, it appeared to falter. There were no bids for new offshore wind projects because, said energy companies, the cash on offer from the governmentjust didnt make it worthwhile, raising questions about the uks commitment to Climate Action. Justin rowlatt, bbc news. Lets get some of the days other news now a districtjudge in the Us State Of Georgia has refused to allow the case against Donald Trumps former Chief Of Staff to be heard in a federal court. Judge stevejones rejected mark meadowss claims that he was fulfilling official duties when he tried to reverse the result of the 2020 president ial election. Mr meadows is one of 19 people charged with participating in an illegal scheme to try to overturn the outcome of the vote the hosts france have won the opening match of the mens Rugby Union World cup, beating the three times champions new zealand 2713. Its the first time new zealand have lost a pool match in the tournament. France have been runners up three times, but fans hope this is the tournament their team becomes World Champions for the first time. Turning to music now, and the uk is seeing a resurgence in jazz. On thursday night, the Band Ezra Collective won the prestigious mercury prize. The winner of the mercury prize. Ezra collective it would be fair to say that the ezra collective enjoyed this moment and it was also a chance to say thank you. This moment we are celebrating here is testimony to good special people putting time and effort into young people to play music, do you hear what i am saying . And this is what he was talking about. Meet tomorrows warriors. Jazz is cool. This workshop that nurtured the musicians of ezra is free and packed with a youthful passion forjazz. Jazz speaks to my soul and as a way for me to express myself and it allows you to play through your different experiences, if you are going through something, i can speak that through the trumpet in a way that words cant. And for the man in charge over the last 30 years, jazz bassist gary crosby, this is a moment to savour. At first it was, oh my god. It is a benefit for all of us who are interested in playing this wonderful music we calljazz. But the music thats emerging in and around bands like ezra isnt looking to jazz� s 40s and 50s heyday. This is steam down, which grew out of a club night in deptford in southeast london. Founded by ahnanse here and for him, the music from the scene represented by ezra is jazz but its also something more. This is something different, its music you can dance to, music you can socialise to in a world where most of us dont go to jazz clubs, most of us dont go to sit down and listen to music. And very much born out of 21st century britain . Completely. This is something that could only happen in the uk, in britain. I dont think it could happen anywhere else. Its a combination of all of yeah, all of my friends that come from all these different places. And its also a reminder that Music Education like this is only possible because of a music charity. To see them recognised by the industry and see them recognised by their peers and to see them elevate all of this music that is happening that they have been part of, was just such a great moment. For ezra and all the people following in their footsteps, this really is a moment to enjoy. David sillito, bbc news. Before we go a reminder of our top story this hour. The Moroccan Interior Ministry says at least 296 people have been killed and many more injured by a powerful earthquake. Its epicentre was a sparsely populated region in the Atlas Mountains where many settlements are hard to access, but theres been extensive damage to one of moroccos biggest cities, marrakesh. Therere reports of families trapped under the rubble of their homes, and damage to parts of the medina, a unesco World Heritage site. We will have more on that story and of the latest from the g20 summit in delhi, in india. Plenty more on the website as well. To stay here on the bbc. Do. Hi there. For many, this weekend is going to be hot and humid again, especially for england and wales, with temperatures only slowly coming down across scotland and northern ireland. And as the cooler air starts to invade in there, were likely to see increasing chance of thundery downpours, some of which could be quite heavy in places. Certainly england and wales on sunday. Now weve had some cloud drifting up from the south as we move into the early part of saturday, some mist and low cloud around some coasts of South West England and wales. And its here where we could see some showers or some thunderstorms, same too, across the north and the west of scotland. But elsewhere, its a dry and a clear night. And again, another very warm and muggy one to start saturday morning with temperatures no lower than around 18 or 19 in one or two spots. So its a very warm start to saturday, pretty much from the word go. Well have sunshine around, but well, this Weather Front will be pushing into the north west of scotland, bringing thicker cloud breeze, outbreaks of rain, a few showers elsewhere. And there will be some scattered thundery showers developing across england and wales as we see temperatures peak at around 32 or 33 degrees in the south east. So this could be the hottest day of the heatwave. But these showers and thunderstorms, although well scattered, could be pretty intense if you catch one and theres a chance of some localised flooding as well. But most places will be dry to take us into saturday evening. We could see further clusters of showers and thunderstorms running up from the south. Again, its going to be a warm and a muggy night, especially so for england and wales with temperatures beginning to come down across the north west. Now the Great North Run on sunday across North East England looks pretty decent actually, although there will be some rain around. Some of it could be thundery. These temperatures will be pretty comfortable for running in, but we could start off with some Thundery Rain In The Morning and then into the afternoon. Heavy showers could develop with a bit of sunshine in between. But sunday is another warm and humid one for england and wales, with a scattering of thunderstorms developing into the afternoon. Temperatures again up to 30 degrees in the south east, but youll notice the low 20s for scotland and northern ireland. So things are turning cooler and the trend as we head into next week is for this cooler, fresher, less humid air to spread southwards across the country. And thatll introduce north Westerly Winds and also plenty of showers, particularly in the north and the west. Itll be much cooler by day, much fresher at night, but still some good spells of sunshine across the south. This is bbc news. The headlines a powerful earthquake has struck morocco, leaving at least 296 people dead and many more injured, according to the countrys interior ministry. Its epicentre was a sparsely populated region in the Atlas Mountains, where there are few towns, and many settlements are remote and hard to access. Many residents of the biggest nearby city, marrakesh, fled their homes as the quake struck. Leaders of the worlds 20 most powerful nations are gathering in delhi as the g20 summit gets under way with issues ranging from Climate Change and Sustainable Development to the war in ukraine high on the agenda. Russias Vladimir Putin and chinas xijinping arent attending the meeting, with representatives attending on their behalf. Rising floodwaters are continuing to hamper rescue and Recovery Efforts in greece following some of the worst storms ever recorded in the country
