We can now speak to sonia omar, who is a ceo at education for all morocco. Welcome to the programme. Your Charity Provides the opportunity of a secondary education for girls from the high atlas mountain region. Sonia, i know this is an anxious time for you. Have your have you heard from your students and how have they been affected . They been affected . Sadly the area worst they been affected . Sadly the area worst hit they been affected . Sadly the area worst hit has they been affected . Sadly the area worst hit has been they been affected . Sadly the area worst hit has been badly| area worst hit has been badly affected, it has the boarding homes, sadly all the houses are damaged but because we were not yet in school term, all the girls were in the villages and it is extremely hard to make contact with them, these villages are very remote, aid is not getting there, phone lines are down, roads are blocked, so the worst part of our journey blocked, so the worst part of ourjourney right now is just trying to locate the girls, and find out if we have, hopefully, many survivors among them. But it is a really terrible situation, ijust received a report from a contact In The Red Cross this morning, and they listed all of our Girls Villages that were impacted and it is virtually every single village that is impacted. How other efforts village that is impacted. How other efforts being village that is impacted. How other efforts being handled from what you understand . Well, were not really from what you understand . Well, were not really able from what you understand . Well, were not really able to from what you understand . Well, were not really able to get were not really able to get this because we cannot make contact with the villages, but the villages we do know and we do have contact with, does sound like there is not really a lot happening yet, that might be because many of the roads are blocked but i know some of our former are blocked but i know some of ourformer students, are blocked but i know some of ourformerstudents, older girls, who have graduated through our programme, because of the amazing skills they have gained with us, including languages such as english, they are helping to co ordinate efforts as much as possible in their villages but they need water, they need food, and it isjust water, they need food, and it is just slow getting help to reach them. Is just slow getting help to reach them. How can people watching reach them. How can people watching this reach them. How can people watching this best reach them. How can people watching this best help . Reach them. How can people l watching this best help . Well, i think one watching this best help . Well, i think one of, watching this best help . Well, i think one of, the watching this best help . Well, i think one of, the simplest. I think one of, the simplest ways to help is to donate to organisations like bahs and other organisations on the ground, who are providing and will provide the Long Term Support to these communities. For example, we are not a Relief Agency but we do provide education to girls from extremely poor and below remote villages and we have created a whole new generation of young women in these communities are now getting an education and having resources and the means to actually support their villages. But we have an Emergency Relief Fund to rebuild our houses so we can hopefully continue our work as soon as possible. I would definitely leave suggest people go online, go on social media and find the organisations on the line and support them financially because people need resources to support the short term and long term consequences of this devastating earthquake. We consequences of this devastatin earthruake. ~. Devastating earthquake. We have ust seen devastating earthquake. We have just seen images devastating earthquake.

We have just seen images one of of one i just seen images one of of one of your Boarding Houses affected, how are you planning on rebuilding those, what will happen next to those crucial lifelines for these girls, who need the education that come in from rural areas . From rural areas . Yes, we absolutely from rural areas . Yes, we absolutely will from rural areas . Yes, we absolutely will rebuild from rural areas . Yes, we l absolutely will rebuild those so that is the focus of our Crisis Fundraising right now, to raise enough for the festival we need to do assessments for Structural Engineers to find out how to make these houses are safe again and how long it will take to do that and the funding we need to do that and so we will be able to be more clear about exactly what we need but the sad thing is it is notjust our houses but the entire local area has been affected, the infrastructure which in many places is quite rudimentary anyway so we are looking to see what the local governments will be doing and many of the schools have been damaged, we do not know yet what the plan is for schooling, many young people in this region have lost their lives and many will be now out of school and many do not even have houses to live in when they are out of school. We will be cooperating as much as possible with the local authorities to see what we can do, rallying our supporters also. ,. , also. No doubt the psychological also.

After weeks of controversy, Luis Rubiales resigned on sunday as president of the spanish football federation. He kissed Jenni Hermoso on the lips after spains victory over england in last months world cup final. Hermoso said the kiss was not consensual. Until now, hed resisted pressure to step down. Luis rubiales, the president of the spanish football federation, has finally resigned after weeks of Mounting Pressure on him for that kiss he gave the spanish playerJenni Hermoso at the world cup final. In a statement that he put on social media to explain his resignation, mr rubiales said that he was innocent, that he was the victim of persecution. However, he said he felt that it was best for spanish football for him to step down and he didnt expect to be able to remain in his post much longer anyway. He had been under a tremendous amount of pressure, partly from fifa, world footballs governing body, which had suspended him pending an investigation into his behaviour at the world cup. Also the Spanish Government was trying to remove him and in addition to that he is facing possible criminal proceedings by prosecutors here in spain who want to bring a case against him for Sexual Assault for that kiss that he gaveJenni Hermoso. The Spanish Government is among those who have responded to this resignation. The deputy Prime Minister, yolanda diaz, has said that this was a great day for spanish feminism. Isobel cotes, is a womens footballjournalist in queenstown new zealand, whos been watching the Rubiales Saga very closely. We can speak to her now. We heard several times from Luis Rubiales he was not going to resign, he has done now. Why do you think it has come, his resignation . T do you think it has come, his resignation . Resignation . I certainly think it wasjust resignation . I certainly think it was just the resignation . I certainly think it was just the accumulation | resignation . I certainly think i it was just the accumulation of the outside pressure for 21 days, this came 21 days after the alleged incident, it is just that. With obviously in his Resignation Letter he said about the external pressures and one of those was the country and its bid to host the mens world cup in 2030, that was the driving force fee for investigating him, obviously, they would not be too keen on pushing through that bit if the head of the federation if one of the betters was under investigation for alleged Sexual Assault or sexual misconduct. That was the final nail in the coffin. Nail in the coffin. What you saw in his nail in the coffin. What you saw in his Interview Nail in the coffin.

Isabel, how pleased will progressives be because spanish football some have argued have failed to ring the changes in the women they have appointed, the women they have appointed, the argument as they are part of the establishment and they will not see the changes this could have prompted 21 days ago .

Russia has termed the g20 summit held in india a success. The wording of the joint declaration around the war in ukraine has been substantially watered down compared to what it was after last years summit, with no direct reference to moscows involvement. India, the host country, which has maintained a neutral stance on the war, took the lead in getting consensus on the statement. The bbc� s south asia correspondent Yogita Limaye reports from delhi. A poignant start to the final day of indias g20 presidency. A moment to remember the countrys most revered leader, mahatma gandhi, and his message of peace. But war and regional conflict has meant the summit wasnt a full house. The president s of russia and china didnt attend. And whatever national views these countries might hold about the war in ukraine, when it came down to business, concessions were made. G20 Leaders Summit declaration. Weve reached a consensus on the joint declaration, indias Prime Minister, Narendra Modi said. It was a statement that significantly watered down moscows role in the war. The paragraph about ukraine made no mention of russia and today, in response to a bbc question, its Foreign Minister said they were surprised that all countries agreed to it. Translation speaking frankly, we didnt expect that. We were 100 ready to defend our honest wording of the text. The indian presidency played a decisive role, and other countries also played a part. The fact that western countries consented to the language is a step in the right direction. Later in the day, the french president responded to questions about the summit being seen as a win for russia. Translation i dont think its a massive diplomatic victory i or anything other than the reality of isolation and minority status. Many questions were asked about what could really be accomplished at a summit where both the russian and chinese president s were not attending. But what india has effectively done is its displayed its influence. The evidence in the paragraph about the war in ukraine in the joint statement consistent with indias own stance on the war and the inclusion of the African Union into the g20 something which india has been advocating for. This summit is a big step forward in this countrys effort to project itself as the voice of the developing world. Yogita limaye, bbc news, delhi.

Successois. Mark daly, bbc news. More on that on panorama for those here in the bbc in the uk and the ellen on bbc sounds. File on four. Morning, all. A stormy end to our weekend of what has been quite a remarkable week of weatherjust passed. On sunday, we saw highs of 33 degrees yet again so that, coupled with last weeks temperatures, saw seven consecutive days where weve seen 30 degrees or more a record for september. But our week ahead is certainly going to see a change. Yes, well have some warmth on monday but a noticeable, fresher feel for all of us. These are our maximum temperatures expected as we go through the week ahead, so low 20s quite widely. Weve got a Weather Front, then, still pushing in from the north. Its a cold front and this will gradually introduce the change to the weather story. Eventually, that front is going to push its way steadily south and the Wind Direction Swing around to more of a north westerly. Cooler, fresher air tucking in behind. So, to begin with, 10 or 11 degrees in the north west of the great glen. A mild start once again for england and wales still feeling quite humid out there. And this is where well see the best of the sunshine and the warmth on monday. A showery band of rain through Northern England and north wales. Cloudy and sunny spells and scattered showers following in behind. Fresher here but ahead of that front, were still likely to see temperatures peaking at 27 degrees thats 80 fahrenheit. Now, as we move out of monday into tuesday, that Weather Front is still there and its still meandering its way slowly south and east, taking its time in doing so. Ahead of the front is where well keep the milder conditions, so first thing on tuesday morning, 16 degrees. Fresher behind single figures for scotland and northern ireland. The front will gradually sink its way south. It could bring some much needed rain, actually, across the midlands, east anglia and south east england. Behind it, some sunnier spells and clearer conditions. So, were looking at 13 18 degrees here. Highest values, if were lucky, of around 22 celsius. Then, as we move out of tuesday, finally, that Frontal System eases away. High pressure is set to build and keep things quite quiet. That means a chilly start potentially in the far north east on wednesday morning. Maybe temperatures low enough for A Touch Of Frost in sheltered glens of scotland. But it will lead to a largely fine, bright day on wednesday. Noticeably fresher with showers for the end of the week. Live from london, this is bbc news.
