Tsunami warning in Japan after strong earthquake | BBC News

Published

on



Japan has issued a major tsunami warning after a 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck the central region.

Residents in the coastal Noto area in Ishikawa prefecture were asked to “evacuate immediately to higher ground,” national broadcaster NHK said.

Authorities have warned of waves as high as 5m in Noto.

They also issued tsunami warnings for neighbouring Niigata and Toyama prefectures, where they said waves could reach 3m.

Public television flashed “EVACUATE” in big letters, urging residents to flee to higher ground despite the winter weather.

    震源から200kmは離れている地元でさえ震度4という威力。

    Huge mega-quake とでも言うのだろうか。

    それでも少し強くなれた。4回大規模な震災を経験してると慣れてくるもんだ。けど こわかった。

    震源地付近の方々の不安や恐怖は計り知れない。

    1日も早く落ち着いて過ごせる日が来ますことをお祈り致します。

    pray for ishikawa prefecture.

    日本人です。石川県では震度7の地震が起こり、その後震度5の地震が連続で起こりました。私は無事ですが、石川県では大きな被害がありました。建物の倒壊や津波などの被害がありました。今後も地震が石川で起こる可能性があります。安否不明の方も多くいます。少しでも早く安全な環境が戻りますように。

    The inefficient rescue methods of the Japanese government have led to an increasing number of earthquake victims not receiving effective assistance during the golden rescue period. We strongly condemn this lazy behavior of ignoring the lives of disaster victims and condemn the Japanese government Behaviors that do not value human rights.

    日本語ですみません。
    地震で被災した日本の富山県の者です。
    幸いにも自分の地域は電気も通っており、物資は少ない状況ですが何とか生活できております。
    しかし、生まれて初めて体感する大きな揺れ、続く余震に今回被災した人々は不安な日々を送っています。

    そんな中でBBCさん、現地入りされたニュースを拝見させていただきました。日本のテレビよりも、国民が知りたい情報をたくさん知らせていると、多くの日本国民が賞賛しています。
    被害状況が明確になるにつれて、たくさんの人が亡くなり、私も好きだった石川県の能登の朝市通りが焼け野原になっておりとても悲しい気持ちです。
    新年早々悲惨な状況ですが、ボランティア受け入れとなりましたら物資を持って少しでも助けになれたらと思っています。
    これからも正確な情報を日本にも提供してください。よろしくお願いいたします。

Did Trump and Musk ‘betray’ Zelensky? | BBC News

President Zelensky has said he feels “betrayed” by President Trump and the US.

He believes access to Elon Musk’s Starlink Starshield system, which is critical to Ukraine’s fight against Russia, was limited. Ukraine said systems have now been restored.

Israeli settlers attack Palestinians in West Bank during olive harvest | BBC News

Published

on



The BBC has witnessed Israeli settlers attack Palestinians and set fire to olive trees in the occupied West Bank.

Several dozen settlers dressed in black charged down a hill near an outpost – illegal under Israeli and international law – to a field where Palestinians and activists were harvesting olives. They torched about a dozen trees and hurled stones from slingshots.

Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine, who was at the scene, was taken to hospital where she told reporters she “got jumped” and described being kicked on the ground.

The UN says the past two weeks have already seen more attacks by violent Israeli settlers than during the entire harvest season last year. It says this year levels of settler violence have reached an all-time high.

The BBC’s Middle East Correspondent Lucy Williamson reports from the occupied West Bank.

How Gen Z are fighting to change India | BBC News

Published

on



This week tens of thousands of young people have taken to the streets of Delhi, India’s capital, demanding changes to the electoral system and the resignation of the country’s electoral commissioner. Thousands have been detained by police in the process.

They represent the ‘cockroach’ movement, a grassroots campaign group started by a Boston University graduate in protest at government policies and high youth unemployment. How did a movement that started as a meme capture the minds of India’s young people, and start to pose a challenge to its long-serving prime minister, Narendra Modi?

The BBC’s South Asia correspondent, Azadeh Moshiri, explains.
