detained in the chiswick area, after confirmed sightings there overnight, including calls from members of the public. the former soldier — who's 21 — was in wandsworth prison awaiting trial, accused of trying to spy for an enemy state, understood to be iran. his family had urged him to give himself up. ellie price reports. members of the public had been in touch with police overnight, having seen daniel khalife in the chiswick area. police conducted what they described as "intensive searches" here. they included officers stopping and searching vehicles, inspecting car boots, and asking local residents for identification. in a short statement, the force thanked the public for their support throughout the investigation. from the g20 meeting in india, the prime minister echoed that sentiment. it's good news that we've recaptured the person concerned. as people already know, thejustice secretary's initiated an inquiry into the circumstances of his escape and that work will continue, but this is obviously very welcome news and my thanks to the police, but also to the public. daniel khalife was on remand at wandsworth prison, pending a trial for terror offences, due to start in november. khalife denies the charges. much of the investigation focused on his daring escape from the kitchen at wandsworth prison, hiding under this delivery van. it's thought he travelled strapped underneath the van, until crawling out a mile or so later. it was there he was first spotted. police had offered a reward of up to £20,000 for information that led to his arrest. and we can cross live to ellie price in chiswick now. have you had much update after we heard that daniel khalife had been arrested? irate heard that daniel khalife had been arrested? ~ ., heard that daniel

being offered for members of the public who gave any information leading to his arrest, so we don't know quite exactly what led it. we understand there were sightings of daniel khalife overnight here in chiswick, that police were going to door—to—door, looking in cars, looking on car boots, the helicopter was up. on the net was getting smaller and smaller and eventually, he was arrested shortly before 11 o'clock this morning. it has been like something out of a movie. daniel khalife underneath that delivery van on wednesday morning, coming out of the prison, he was spotted crawling out from underneath the van. disappeared for a few days, police issued various appeals to the public to come forward with any information or any sightings. and thatis information or any sightings. and that is what happened in this part of west london last night, he was spotted, the bbc spoke to somebody who said she saw him in her words lurking around near her house and part of a leafy suburb of west london. slowly, slowly, the net got smaller and the police got their man shortly before 11 this morning. because we had this revelation yesterday when he was caught, or the mode of transport he used to escape prison was caught on cctv and they thought his first sighting was in the wandsworth area, around the wandsworth roundabout which is quite significant landmark in south london. from there, the police were able to trace his steps, essentially.— able to trace his steps, essentiall . , ., ~ able to trace his steps, essentiall . , . ,, ., essentially. yes, and i think that is one of the _

yes, and i think that l is one of the big question is really that we want to find out in terms of exactly how it happened. he was seen coming out of wandsworth prison, or just a view miles up the road of that big roundabout. where i am standing now in chiswick is about five miles away from there so it has taken a few days to find him not that far away from where he went missing. big question is, i think surrounding, did he have any help? quite clearly, if he had help from inside or outside the prison, there would be a suggestion there would be contact made in what experts call a digital footprint. contact made in what experts call a digitalfootprint. 0r contact made in what experts call a digital footprint. or was contact made in what experts call a digitalfootprint. or was he acting alone and just being an opportunist escapee? he had no when he needed to contact and maybe that's why he was able to evade capture for a few days —— she had no one. these are questions being asked. but there is a broader situation, questions being asked in the uk broadly about the situation of our prison services. lots of criticism from people who work in a sector about how it is very underfunded, understaffed, did that play a part in all of this? questions about, did daniel khalife have help? why was he in essence allowed to escape on what would seem to be a daring but actually really almost comical way of getting out of the prison, like something out of the prison, like something out of the movies. and you heard from rishi sunak in my report, there is a government inquiry being launched that we expect to hear later this week exactly surrounding those circumstances. plenty of questions being posed today, i don't think his capture is necessarily the end of the story.

very much for that update, ellie price, our- that update, ellie price, our correspondent in chiswick where it daniel khalife has been found and arrested. we got the thoughts of dal babu, a former chief superintendent in the metropolitan police, about how the police had managed to track down daniel khalife in chiswick. the key thing here is this 72 hours have been absolutely crucial in terms of the resources being placed into it. the longer it goes on, the more difficult it becomes to try and apprehend this individual. there would have been an intelligent cell in place and they would have looked at all the intelligence that comes in. and from there, the police would then put in resources. i think the key thing here is that they had a credible sighting, chiswick, where somebody talked about him, the prisoner coming out from underneath the lorry, and i think that was crucial. from there, they'd be able to look at the cctv. they'd put resources that might have been in other areas, for example, ports and wherever, back into chiswick in west london. and i think the police have worked incredibly hard and managed to find this individual. but the key evidence was the member of the public who said, look, i've seen this individual a couple of miles away from the site of where he escaped. and then it stops all the wild goose chases there would have been, where people are finding him and saying they saw him running into a taxi and stuff, so it gives credible evidence so the police can focus more clearly and something like that. now it's time for a look at today's sport with 0llie foster. pretty much nonstop rugby today. there are four more matches at the rugby world cup on saturday, we've already had one result. italy were far too strong for namibia in saint—etienne. there were seven different try scorers for the the italians. they only had a nine—point lead at the break, but ran away with it in the second half. tomasso allan had a perfect record with the boot as well, kicking seven conversions and a penalty. 52—8, the final score, a bonus—point win that lifts them to the top of pool a above the hosts france, who beat the all blacks in the opening match of the tournament. the number—one team in the world ireland conceded an early try against romania in bordeaux. ireland are up 211—8. two—time champions australia take on georgia at the stade de france later and england face argentina in marseille. the busiest day in the world cup, four matches. american teenager coco gauff will face aryna sabalenka from belarus in the us open final later on saturday. gauff is appearing in her second major singles final after losing at the french open last year. reigning champion carlos alcaraz was knocked out by daniil medvedev in a thrilling semi—final at flushing meadows. the top seed from spain was beaten in four sets. medvedev note that you can pick is now his opponent. —— novak djokovic. he is always better than the previous time he plays. for example, i beat him in the us open final, he beat me in a great match. carlos beat him in wimbledon, he beat him in cincinnati. so novak is going to be his best version on sunday and i have to be the best ever version of myself if i want to try to beat him. england will be looking to make it five wins out of five in euro 2024 qualifying when they face ukraine in poland later. the match is being played there because of the war in ukraine. manager gareth southgate is expecting the crowd to be mostly behind their opponents. well, we know, of course, hundreds and thousands of ukrainians living here, so we're expecting a very passionate and partisan support for their team. we're used to playing in that sort of environment. we're, of course, respectful of the occasion, but ourjob is to come here and attempt to win a football game. so it's, for us, making sure that we keep the emotions in check and make sure that we're focusing on ourjob. ukraine sit second in group c with six points from three fixtures. head coach sergei rebrov takes charge of the national side forjust the fourth time and says his job is made easier because of the mindset of his players. it's very easy to work because you don't need to motivate the players. they are watching news, they are talking with the people who are in ukraine, who are fighting for us. and for me, of course, it is a very big responsibility, buti and for me, of course, it is a very big responsibility, but i am enjoying to work here and i am enjoying to work here and i am enjoying to work here and i am enjoying to helping for our country. itt�*s just under two hours to kick—off in wroclaw. these are the scenes outse the stadium. let's hear from two of those ukraine fans who have made the joirney to see their team play. we came to

to go to watch them lose, perhaps. you can keep a cross that match and all the other euro qualifiers and on top of the rugby world cup, it is a busy saturday on the bbc sport website. 0r the bbc sport website. or your bbc sport app. thank you for that update. g20 leaders meeting in delhi have issued a joint declaration, which includes mention of the war in ukraine. the host, india, says consensus has been reached on the joint statement, to be published at the conclusion of the summit. analysts say amid continuing differences, the countries have agreed on a text that could be interpreted in different ways. the statement calls on all states to refrain from the threat or use of force, "to seek territory against territorial integrity or sovereignty", but it does not mention russian aggression. kyiv has responded in the past few minutes by describing the g20 statement as "nothing to be proud of". mr modi also proposed including the african union as a permanent member of the bloc — part of his drive to include more of the voices of the global south at the top table of international diplomacy. prior to this, south africa was the only african member. mr modi also found time to pose for a bilateral photocall with uk prime minister rishi sunak, with a post—brexit trade deal on the cards. this is what mr sunak had to say about the deal. well, prime minister modi and i had a very warm and productive discussion on a range of different things. with regard to the trade deal, you know, there is a desire on both of our parts to see a successful trade deal concluded. the opportunities are there for both countries. but there is a lot of hard work still to come and we need to work through that, as we will do. there is also opportunities for us to deepen our relationship in lots of different areas, he and i talked about that as well, whether it's in defence and security, and education and research, all sorts of things that we could do more together. and it's important we do. india, as this g20 is showing, is going to be one of the most important geopolitical actors over the next few decades, it's important for the uk to have a close relationship with india. and prime minister modi and i talked about all the different ways in which we can strengthen and deepen that partnership. that was rishi sunak. let's cross live to delhi with our south asia correspondent, yogita limaye. it has been an eventful day and we had that announcement of that declaration that is going to be issued and that response from kyiv saying it is nothing to be proud of. well, right. we would expect that kind of response from ukraine because if you look at the wording of the declaration and the paragraphs that deal with the war in ukraine, ithink paragraphs that deal with the war in ukraine, i think what is quite clear as they have been substantially watered down from what was released at the end of the barley g20 summit last year. i mean, there was an expectation always that ukraine would be a sticking point between all of these countries which have different positions on it. we also had russian president vladimir putin actually not attending the summit once again, the same thing happened last year. but i don't think it was expected how significantly the language has been watered down, i think that has come as a bit of surprise to everyone. for example, the paragraph about the war in ukraine doesn't mention russia, russian federation or moscow at all. it does talk about state sticking to the un charter and not violating the territorial integrity and independence of countries. it also talks about nuclear weapons and it says the use as well as the threat of use of nuclear weapons is inadmissible. if you compare that to what was said in bali last year, and even then there were disagreements about what different countries thought, but there was wording in that paragraph which talked about strongly deploring what they described as russian aggression in ukraine. so given the fact kyiv has not found that kind of wording in that declaration, the response from their is expected. it is that declaration, the response from their is expected.— their is expected. it is interesting because india _ their is expected. it is interesting because india has _ their is expected. it is interesting because india has a _ their is expected. it is interesting because india has a relationship i because india has a relationship with russia. so clearly, it is positioning itself from this g20 summit as being one of those economic powers that clearly is very important to the world, but also political powers as well.- political powers as well. well, that's right- — political powers as well. well, that's right. i— political powers as well. well, that's right. i think _ political powers as well. well, that's right. i think what - political powers as well. well, that's right. i think what india| political powers as well. well, - that's right. i think what india has done quite successfully is that it has taken what is essentially an annual summit and the presidency it has got because of rotation into a mega event where it wants to position itself on the global stage, it wants to tell the world, we are going to be the voice of developing countries. and a big move in that direction was prime minister narendra modi advocating for the african union to become a permanent member of the g20, that has happened today and that is a big win for india, he has been making the arguments multilateral groupings need to be more representative and more fair. as far as the war in ukraine goes, india has always maintained a neutral stance. there have been instances where other countries have suggested it call out ukraine on the wall, it has always maintained a neutral stance. so it is not surprising the foreign affairs minister india today said emerging economies, developing countries, they took the lead as far as getting consensus on the wording of the paragraph on was concerned. 0k, thank you very much for that update. from delhi, where the g20 summit is taking place. our south asia correspondent. let's return to our top story: morocco's powerful earthquake, which has left more than a thousand people dead. a little earlier, i spoke to marrakech riad owner peter mercer, who escaped from the thirrd floor of his building you don't practise for these things. and i've lived through an earthquake before, but i live on the third floor of the building and itjust started to shake, almost like a washing machine on the spin cycle when it suddenly gears up. but it violently shook the building and you just think, i've got to get out of here. so ijust literally ran out of the door, so going down three flights of stairs, just imagining the building is about to collapse on me. it was terrifying. and i got... sorry, carry on. and when i got downstairs to the street, the street was full of people, but i'm english in morocco and the moroccans are speaking amongst themselves. and i did think for a minute, did that only happen to me? because no—one was actually saying, there's an earthquake. 0bviously, no—one is speaking in english, even in french, but then someone told me in french, "that was an earthquake". ok, so i didn't imagine it. but it was frightening. and did you go back into your building, or did you stay outside for the night? where did people sleep? we're hearing reports they all slept outside. yeah. i stayed outside for several hours. i was following reports on the internet. there were three aftershocks, each one less powerful. so i took comfort from that, and they advised that there probably was not going to be another major one. but i stayed outside for three hours and then i did go back to my apartment and i went to sleep. but a lot of people stayed out all night in gardens, in open spaces, because they were scared to go into their homes. a lot of people live in apartment buildings three, four, five storeys high, and you don't want to be on the fifth floor if you have to get out quickly. and what is the situation now? like you say, the advice is there probably isn't going to be a second earthquake. are people feeling confident, or are they understandably still on edge about what to do next? yeah, people understandably are on edge, as you say. but life does go on. i'm fortunate because i wasn't injured and no—one i know was injured. in the mountains and villages closer to the epicentre, there is a lot of damage and injured. but people... cafes are open and museums and gardens are open, tourism is happening today. it feels a little bit strange perhaps to be enjoying the day, but life is going on here. that was peter mercer and you can read more about that story and the live developments on our live page. it is also on the app. as we said, more than 1,000 people now have died after a powerful earthquake struck central morocco, which is according to the country's interior ministry. the latest on our website, stay with us here on bbc news. hello, if like me, you're finding it too hot and humid, relief is on the way, but not for most of us until after the weekend. it stays very warm, very muggy, there will be thundery showers and there are warnings from the met office. more details on our website. but again, we'll have another day with temperatures exceeding 30 celsius. so again, the record is broken. today looks like it might well be the hottest day of the year so far, just getting a little bit ahead of thursday's 32.6 celsius. widely warm, very warm, infact, and humid. temperatures not quite so high in the north and west purely because we have this weather front approaching, so more cloud, bringing rain into the western and northern isles, showers ahead of it. and this afternoon, because we have that mix of the heat, some home—grown downpours, torrential downpours continuing well into the evening. but quite well scattered. it could just cause some flash flooding locally. and even though they will ease away for a time overnight, we have more moving in from the south, pushing into the south and west. and again, just increasing that humidity. so another really close night and uncomfortable sleeping, i should imagine, for quite a few. even further north, the humidity stays with us, that means for the great north run, not ideal conditions with the high humidity. the increasing chance of a thundery shower as well as those running into the afternoon. so take on lots of water, if you can. so the shower risk tomorrow perhaps further north than today. some torrential downpours, lots of lightning with those showers. and we have a weather front in the north and west. but in—between, lots of sunshine, still very warm and humid. so temperatures might not be quite widely as high as today, but still humid and muggy. perhaps still in east anglia and the south east, 31, 32 degrees. through the evening and overnight, thundery showers move northwards and eastwards, the weather front is on the move as well, and it's behind that weather front where it is a little bit less humid, a fresherfeel for the north and west of scotland. and as we move through the course of monday and tuesday, i'm hopeful about the end of tuesday, that we will start to feel that slightly fresher air reaching southern and eastern areas. then we're back to business as usual, a more unsettled looking picture. this is bbc news. the headlines — a powerful earthquake has killed more than 1,000 people in morocco, according to state tv, and injured hundreds more. the quake struck around 45 miles south of marrakesh. hospitals in the region have seen an influx of patients and are appealing for blood donations. police have arrested
