it's a race against time for rescuers in morocco as the death toll surpasses 2000 following friday's powerful earthquake. and — the 6—20 summit ends with leaders divided over theirjoint declaration that avoids condemning russia for its war in ukraine. hello, i'm carl nasman. luis rubiales has stepped down as president of spain's football federation — following weeks of controversy over a forcible kiss at the women's world cup final. mr rubiales submitted his resignation to the federation�*s acting president — saying he could not continue his work. this was the moment in august when rubiales kissed playerjenni hermoso — as spain celebrated their women's world cup win. he insisted the kiss

was consensual — and until now, had refused to step down — despite being suspended by football's international governing body, fifa. here's our correspondent in spain, guy hedgecoe. quiz ruby luis rubiales has finally stepped down after that kiss he gave a jenni hermoso at the world cup final. in a statement that he put on social media the world cup final. in a statement that he put on social media to the world cup final. in a statement that he put on social media to explain the world cup final. in a statement that he put on social media to explain his the world cup final. in a statement that he put on social media to explain his resident nation, he 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 didn't expect to be able to remain in his post much longer anyway. he had been under a tremendous amount of pressure, partly from the fifa, world football's 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 gave jenni hermoso. the spanish government is among those who have responded to this resignation stop the deputy prime minister has said that this was a great day for spanish feminism. earlier i soke spanish feminism. earlier i spoke with _ earlier i spoke with semra hunter, a journalist who covers spanish football, based in barcelona. thank you for taking the time to speak with us. luis rubiales has been under this immense pressure for several days, weeks now. what do you make of the timing of his resignation? why now?— why now? there are two fundamental _ why now? there are two fundamental reasons - why now? there are two fundamental reasons as | why now? there are two i fundamental reasons as to why now? there are two - fundamental reasons as to why he decided to do it now, three weeks after the incident. the

first isjenni hermoso first is jenni hermoso officially filing first isjenni hermoso officially filing her complaint to the prosecutor's office and now continue with the criminal proceedings that had initially been started but they couldn't officially continue without her officially continue without her official complaint. she had 15 days to do so and she finally did last tuesday. 0n days to do so and she finally did last tuesday. on top of that, luis rubiales said in an interview he had with piers morgan that he had been speaking to his daughters, to his father and basically they said to him, listen, at this point in time, you really should just focus on your dignity and it probably is the right course of action to step down at this stage and not continue to cause more harm and damage that has only been created up until this point in time. it is a bit of ahead scratch that he hasn't seemed to consult his daughters earlier in the last three weeks but i suppose better late than never. i do think he ultimately saw the writing on the wall and saw the writing on the wall and saw the writing on the wall and saw the wagons circling in and the insurmountable amount of pressure that you talked about across a spanish football as well as internationally as well

and i think that he finally recognised the reality that he was facing and that there really was no other option but to step down at this point in time. ~ . . , to step down at this point in time. ~ . .,, w ., time. what has the reaction been so far— time. what has the reaction been so far to _ time. what has the reaction been so far to this - been so far to this announcement in spain? the reaction comes _ announcement in spain? the reaction comes as _ announcement in spain? the reaction comes as no - announcement in spain? tie: reaction comes as no surprise is that many people are rejoicing the fact that this has happened. a lot of people are saying why now? why has it taken him so long and why couldn't he do it earlier, he couldn't he do it earlier, he could have saved us all the pain and trouble and everything we've gone through through the last two or three weeks but a lot of people are really happy it has happened because they felt as though it really did need to. it was just an untenable situation for everyone and has put strain and stress on spanish football, spanish society, on the federation and beyond and we ask did it does mean we have to consider as well this is this all—important bid for the 2030 world cup between spain, portugal and morocco and this was very much damaging that candidacy. i think the reaction

really has been unanimous in saying finally this has happened, may be better late than never, but hopefully this can be a turning point for women's football and for the federation and it can be the first step towards bringing about the change that so needs to happen that these women have been asking for for such a long time now as well and hopefully it will be a watershed moment for women's football and for spanish football overalls and perhaps even society as well going forward. just perhaps even society as well going forward.— perhaps even society as well going forward. just building on that, what _ going forward. just building on that, what do _ going forward. just building on that, what do you _ going forward. just building on that, what do you think- going forward. just building on that, what do you think come l that, what do you think come next now? not only for rubiales himself but for women's football in spain and then for spanish football in general. for two himself, i think right now his main concern is going to be trying to defend himself in a criminal court because he is looking at a potential sentencing of anywhere between a fine and five years in prison if found guilty. in spain there is a law that if you are a first—time offender any given

out for less than two years and you don't have a criminal record, you don't actually have to serve anyjail time we could be the case may be will actuallyjust have be the case may be will actually just have to be the case may be will actuallyjust have to pay a fine and usually three happen five years is reserved for more serious cases of this nature. when it comes to women's football, right now we haven't seen any changes within the federation and this was a brilliant opportunity to do so. but only by that is that you still have those who are the allies, the friends, who believed in the assault that make philosophy of rubiales, they are very much in charge still. that in a sense as a continuation of what was already there. then you have a couple of changes within the federation, there has been a newjob or title or post call it what you will that has been created for equality within the federation but the woman in charge was already working in organisation. they also made a woman the director of the president's she was already working on the federation and on top of that the coach they have got in to replace or gave lugar, she is also a —— george

a builder. she was the right—hand women, the assistant for him for the last five years. the players themselves haven't said anything but it speaks volumes. —— for true. they would be very definite jorge vilda because of they won't be so inspired or motivated by this appointment. it was an opportunity to bring someone completely fresh from the outside who could bring new ideas and also perhaps with them a new coaching staff because it may be the case that bringing back the same coaching staff withjorge vilda, so staff with jorge vilda, so there really hasn't been a huge systematic changes the federation have been promising up federation have been promising up until now. federation have been promising up until nova— federation have been promising up until nova— up until now. semra hunter, a football journalist _ up until now. semra hunter, a football journalist based - up until now. semra hunter, a football journalist based in - footballjournalist based in barcelona, thank you so much. in morocco, more than 2,100 people have now been confirmed dead in friday's earthquake. the race is on — to clear debris from roads leading to the remote atlas mountains — that's the epicentre of the quake. this is the mountain village of imine tala, very few buildings have been left standing. residents are searching

after the moroccan army cleared a landslide on the access road. but other small remote communities remain cut off by rockfalls and there are reports of entire villages flattened. 0ur correspondent nick beake has made it to another community in the atlas mountains: the grief was unbearable. and found in every corner of this tiny community. their spirit crushed a little more every time news arrived of another body recovered. the bricks and stones of their traditional houses no match for the size of this quake. the village of tafeghaghte levelled in seconds. abdu rahman was being comforted by everyone who saw him. he tells us he's lost his wife and his three boys. he wants to take us to where his family lived

so happily until friday night. a walk through the rubble of this remote atlas mountain wilderness. "our house was up there", abu rahman tells us. "you can see the white blankets and the furniture, too. everything else has gone." he ran home after the earthquake and says he started screaming out for his kids but there was nothing. "we buried them yesterday", he says. "i felt so sorry for them. when we found them, they were all huddled together, the three boys asleep. they all went down with the earthquake." we've been told that about 200 people used to live here in this village. of those, 90 are already confirmed to have died. many more are missing, somewhere here

beneath the rubble. others are in hospital. and when you look at this and try and take it all in, you realise people simply didn't stand a chance and the scene of devastation is replicated right across this vast mountainous region. sitting among the only possessions she now has left, we meet this woman, mourning her son—in—law. translation: we pray for god to help us - and the government too, and the king. the first professional emergency teams to arrive here are spanish firefighters. it's not a search for signs of life but for the dead. there are no miracle rescues here in tafeghaghte — this epicentre of pain and suffering. nick beake, bbc news, in the atlas mountains. around the world and across

the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. the presidents of chile and mexico have called for the strengthening of democracy in latin america during a joint address on sunday to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1973 coup of president salvador allende in chile. the remarks came hours after a peaceful march erupted into violent clashes with police. two foreign aid volunteers were killed in a russian missile strike in eastern ukraine on saturday, kyiv confirmed. their vehicle had suffered a direct hit, flipped and caught fire as it drove towards bakhumt. the workers were identified as spanish and candian citizens. a german and swedish national were also injured in the attack. the death toll after greece's deadly storms has risen to 15, after rescuers recovered four more bodies in central greece on sunday. according to authorities, two other people are still missing after storm daniel caused devastating flooding throughout the country following a summer

of dangerous wildfires. that's due to the effects of climate change. you're live with bbc news. turning to delhi now, where india formally handed over the g20 presidency to brazil on sunday, at the closing ceremony of the group's annual summit. prime minister narendra modi completed the transition by passing the ceremonial gavel to brazil's president, luiz inacio lula da silva. on saturday, the group issued a joint declaration on the war in ukraine, but the text made no direct reference to russian aggression. moscow has since termed the meeting a success. from delhi, the bbc�*s south asia correspondent yogita limaye reports. a poignant start to the final day of india's g20 presidency, a moment to remember the country's most revered leader, mahatma gandhi, and his message of peace. but war and regional conflict has meant the summit wasn't a full house.

the presidents of russia and china didn't 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. "we've reached a consensus on the joint declaration." india's prime minister, narendra modi said. it was a statement that significantly watered down moscow's 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 didn't 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 don't think it's 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 presidents were not attending. but what india has effectively done is it's displayed its influence. the evidence in the paragraph about the war in ukraine, in the joint statement, consistent with india's 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 country's effort to project itself as the voice of the developing world. yogita limaye, bbc news, delhi. chinese president xijinping may have skipped the g20, but china's influence

still loomed large. british prime minister rishi sunak confronted china's second—in—command at the summit, to express what he called "significant concerns about china's interference" in british democracy. this comes after a parliamentary researcher was arrested and accused of spying for china. here's our political correspondent, nick eardley. two men have been arrested. 0ne two men have been arrested. one in his 30s was arrested in 0xfordshire. another in his 20s with arrested in edinburgh. this all happened in march this year. it was a few months ago but just year. it was a few months ago butjust emerging now. it is the latter man they are particularly interesting because speaking to various people who work in parliament, it is a parliamentary researcher. someone who has had contact with some pretty senior conservative mps actually — people like the chair of the foreign affairs select committee, people like the security minister, although my

understanding is that was before he had that cabinet donna cabinet role of security minister. it has raised three key concerned. wonders about the level of scrutiny and vetting that goes on for parliamentary pass holders. the other is the level of contact that some mps have with researchers, who they perhaps do not know a great deal about. the third, the big debate that i think it's starting to reignite today, is about the uk government's position on china. because the uk has been having more contact with china in recent weeks than it has for years. the foreign secretary james cleverly was in beijing weeks ago. there are a lot of conservative mps who are furious about that, frankly, and are going to use this situation, this arrest and allegation that this man has been arrested over spying claims link to china, they are going to use that to reignite that debate and say we are need

a much stricter approach when it comes to the regime in beijing. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. us presidentjoe biden is set to meet with vietnamese leaders, on the second and final day of his visit to the country monday. speaking to reporters, he defended us engagement in the pacific, against a background of rising chinese influence in the region. meryl kornfield from the washington post is in hanoi covering mr biden's visit and shejoins us now. president biden signing a strategic partnership with vietnam — what more can you tell us about this accord and its significance? we can see from the declaration signed in new guinea and the president biden's trip in vietnam, the similar playbook that we have seen in his administration so far and how he has tried to present himself in the indo—pacific is counterweight to china and when he met with officials in

vietnam he stressed how the us would support them and be a partner to that in a way that they had seen china. this is something we have seen before from president biden. recently he met with his counterparts from japan and south korea and he feted the prime minister in a lavish dinner recently and met with the philippine president for the first time at the white house in over a decade. we're looking at pictures now the reception president biden got in vietnam. where does this relationship stay between the two countries. it hasn't been that long — a few decades since this to two countries were at world? the same communist party are still in government in vietnam so it is interesting to see those

pictures and see the president in a setting like this as he passed the mausoleum in ho chi minh. , , ., ., , minh. this is a really important _ minh. this is a really important step - minh. this is a really important step that l minh. this is a really i important step that the minh. this is a really - important step that the united states is taking to present itself as an alternative to china and try to establish itself in that way in the pacific. ., itself in that way in the pacific— itself in that way in the pacific. ., ., ., , pacific. you mentioned a bit about biden's _ pacific. you mentioned a bit about biden's recent - pacific. you mentioned a bit i about biden's recent trilateral summit with south korea and japan, now he is in vietnam. what would she, should we make of this recent push to strengthen alliances in the indo—pacific region? the strengthen alliances in the indo-pacific region? the way that biden — indo-pacific region? the way that biden framed _ indo-pacific region? the way that biden framed it - indo-pacific region? the way that biden framed it in - indo-pacific region? the way that biden framed it in his i that biden framed it in his press conference last night, he said that he does not want to be seen as taking over china's position but ratherjust wants that everything to be fair. he said everything should be on the up and up. that is a quote. what we are seeing is biden is trying to appeal to those in

the indo—pacific presenting a case that china's struggling economy is no match for the power of the united states. but also a case to the us voters, as we head into the 20 �*24 election, that the united states is doing what it can to compete with china and play a larger role in the world stage. you have been along on this whirlwind of a trip, first of the 620 whirlwind of a trip, first of the g20 in india are now in vietnam. in terms of what president biden set out to achieve, do you think he would be happy with what he got out of this entire trip now, to these two different summits? gas, officials have portrayed this as a success. as he spoke about earlier, we saw in the language, the declaration, and

this was not as forceful a document against the wall in the ukraine and russia's invasion but the us officials told us that they see it as soon as a success. they see it as the united states moving the rest of the countries in the right direction and the way that they need that argument, as they said, look, we're affirmed the language of the un in that language and the declaration and you can see that in the wording there. thank you so much. in tennis, world number one novak djokovic has won a career—defining victory at the us open in new york. the serbian player overcame russia's daniil medvedev in straight sets after a nail—biting tie—break in the second, after

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 week's temperatures, saw seven consecutive days where we've seen 30 degrees or more — a record for september. but our week ahead is certainly going to see a change. yes, we'll 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. we've got a weather front then still pushing in from the north. it's 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—ii 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 we'll 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, we're still likely to see temperatures peaking at 27 degrees — that's 80 fahrenheit. now, as we move out of monday into tuesday, that weather front is still there and it's still meandering its way slowly south and east, taking its time in doing so. ahead of the front is where we'll 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 southeast england. behind it, some sunnier spells and clearer conditions. so we're looking at 13—18 degrees here, highest values if we're 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 northeast 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.
