Japan earthquake: Death toll climbs to 64 as rescuers race to survivors | BBC News
Rescue efforts continue in Japan after at least 64 people were killed in a powerful earthquake that hit the country on New Year’s Day.
Homes collapsed, buildings caught fire and roads were extensively damaged, hindering the work of rescue services.
The epicentre of the 7.6 quake was the Noto peninsula, in central Japan.
Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said that emergency services were locked in a “race against time” to rescue survivors.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

日本は流したくない映像や情報は控える国です。
腐った自民党が莫大な裏金や脱税をしながら、被災者には20万円を貸し付けるという考え方です。
どうか、日本の裏金のニュースを詳しく取り上げて下さい。
日本のマスコミも腐っています。

We strongly condemn the inefficient rescue methods of the Japanese government, which completely ignore the importance of the golden time for disaster relief to the lives of the victims. A government that does not care about the safety of its citizens should be condemned. Please attach importance to the human rights of citizens.

This is all due to China. They are drilling holes to reach earths curst. Which causes deformation to the stratified soil at greater depth, also soil is semi infinite at greater depth from ground surface, also the surface area of the earth decrease (due to decrease in radius of the earth as we go closer to the crust), if surface area decreased, the point of origin of the land of Japan, india, afghanistan, nepal many country becomes close to each other. That is why there is earth quake in Nepal, india, afghanistan and Japan. As we deeper into earths crust than far countries like australia, newzland, Russia will also experience earth quake.
