September 11, 2023: Morocco quake, North Korea's Kim Jong Un to visit Russia, G20 summit, Hawaii's Kilauea volcano, Iran-US prisoner swap

1. Rescuers raced against time on Monday to find survivors in the rubble more than 48 hours after Morocco's deadliest earthquake in over six decades, with nearly 2,500 killed in a disaster that devastated villages in the High Atlas Mountains.

2. In Russia's Pacific port, residents said they were anticipating a visit by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that the United States fears could lead to more weapons supplies for Russia's military in Ukraine.

3. U.S. President Joe Biden said he held his highest level talks with Chinese leadership in months, adding that Beijing's economic wobbles would not lead it to invade Taiwan.

4. The Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island began to erupt on Sunday afternoon, with flows currently confined to the surrounding crater floor, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said on Sunday.

5. When $6 billion of unfrozen Iranian funds are wired to banks in Qatar as early as next week, it will trigger a carefully choreographed sequence that will see as many as five detained U.S. dual nationals leave Iran and a similar number of Iranian prisoners held in the U.S. fly home, according to eight Iranian and other sources familiar with the negotiations who spoke to Reuters.
