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. 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. morocco declared three days of national mourning, flags to be flown at half mast, a statement from the royal court there in morocco. more news on that as the day goes on. hundreds of emergency workers and soldiers continue to evacuate people from villages and towns affected by major flooding in central greece. they've been using boats and helicopters, which are also helping to supply cut—off settlements with food and drinking water. parts of the capital of the thessaly region, larissa, have been inundated, and there's a push to reinforce embankments of the pineios river. the flooding was caused by unprecedented rainfall brought by storm daniel earlier this week. earlier i spoke to our correspondent sofia bettiza who is in larissa — one of the towns most affected. there's a big search and rescue operation this morning in larissa in central greece. you can see behind me, two people have just been rescued and they are getting to safety. we have seen all morning volunteers getting on dinghies like this one, on boats, on canoes, and looking for people who are still stranded, stuck on rooftops, stuck on their balconies. this rescue operation is extremely complicated. entire villages are without power. hundreds of people are still stranded. roads are damaged. and there are some villages that are entirely submerged by water. and that means that the authorities have been unable to reach some of the worst affected areas. there are several people still missing and the fear is that the death toll could go up. the greek prime minister, kyriakos mitsotakis, said that greece is facing an unequal battle with nature, and that he's going to do everything humanly possible to help with the emergency. sofia bettiza. authorities say a deal has been reached with azerbaijan to restore transport to the corridor by russian peacekeepers and the red cross, a deal reached with the authorities. rugby now. we're just a few hours away from england starting their world cup campaign. they take on argentina in marseille. england's players started the week in the remote calm of le touquet, cocooned from the pressure that is mounting on the team. they end the week in the eye of the storm. there is no respite in bustling marseille, a place which exudes world cup history. anyone who was here in 2007 will never forget it, least of all the legions of england fans who watched their side upset the odds against australia and improbably reach the semi—finals. live now to the bbc�*s grace harbage in marseille. grace, what is the mood light there?
