the, the, this is dw, use life from bullying, and it was quite damages homes and leaves thousands without power and japan waived . so for me to hide that hole, the coastline authority scaled back a tsunami wanting, let's say more trim is a bank like those laid up in these rounds offensive and gaza commanders say the operation to go down. how much militants is likely to last through 2020 for

the i bank visible and welcome japan is bracing for more off the shocks. after a series of pounds, the lowest quakes triggered the highest level to nami warning. officials say the threat of a major to nami has passed for now, but one that more trim is good for at least 2 people have been reported dead. dozens of those quakes shop depends west coast. heating the issue con what? prefect? yep. the strongest had a magnitude of 7.6 more than 30000 homes were left without out, but the government says the nuclear power plants would notice that the army was called in to help with rescue operations into the a 100000 people were ordered to evacuate the customers inside this department store in each co op panic and try to take shelter as the trim is hit,

the hundreds of people who are evacuated from a subway station. the, as inside, the ceiling started shaking. nearby residents recorded the effects of the quakes from inside the home and large fires broke out to some neighborhoods. the japan's meet, you were logical agency recorded multiple quakes of the western coast. one of them had a preliminary magnitude of 7.6. they then issue the highest to know me warning possible the services that the major

tsunami of the since the great to the could in the pacific ocean on march, the 11th 2011, with the success shima nuclear does off the still to clear and people's minds the government says that so fun, none of the nearby need to have health. lots of being affected. robert weiss is a professor of natural hazards at the department of jo science at virginia tech university. i asked him how likely it is that japan could see another major earthquake of this offering of the 50 quakes on monday. so oftentimes we see that one major shock is a company to buy a magnitude, a multitude, sorry, a multitude of growth twigs that follow afterwards. and it took take um, okay, i was here was of 2 days longer. what about the possibility of another strong as quite so within the next 48 hours,

i would say we often find that um, another option, a put per, you know, it's not louder than the, of the value of the original real quick cutting. but it could come close. how resilient would you say japan is to these natural lessons? so japan is one of the most resilient countries that we have because they have an experience just kind of rough quits for thousands of years in o. b and have written records of tsunami use an earthquake spec about 10001200 years now. so they are very well prepared. they have to technology a and d and a warning system actually to teach today to deal with these kind of hazards to make sure that these kind of habits don't turn into disasters like we saw at 12 years ago. okay, so how effective all these warning systems i'm one of the lessons learned from what japan experienced more recently and over the years also

across that region. i mean, many countries have been hit by not just quakes, but those are 2 ninety's to yes. so 2011 was someone of a wakeup call for the tsunami community. and those interested in hazard mediation because we thought that the, the magnitude of the weight that occurred in 2011 was very unlikely to occur, but yet it occurred so. so japan was really relying on that technology to be on against such to know these, ended it actually really well in comparison between 20042011. so we can say that, yeah, not a whole lot of people died of interest structure was, was destroyed. and, uh, but also for united states and for other countries along the pacific rim. this was the way to quote our last and i was in the area a possibility to a significant earthquakes. however, this, this earthquake that to be observed today was different because it occurred on the

west side of japan. and it's in the sea of japan, which doesn't have the access to the, to the pacific countries here, south korea, north korea, russia and china mostly affected by the effects of the tsunami in particular. and a lot of countries that followed suit setting up early warning systems with a they as experienced and as good as the japanese the japanese definitely the i trip lasers in terms of phenomena. wondering about the, the system that we have in the united states and the pacific operated by law is really, really good as well. but it has a preparation reset at top among the top 10 of things to do stuff is education. so. so, and that's what happened since 2011, a lot of public education took place in japan as well as an envelope. okay, interesting stuff from a voice, the professor of natural as, as a junior tech. thanks. thanks for having me. or these by the supreme court

has drunk down a significant section of the government's controversial, judicial reports by minister benjamin netanyahu pushed through the changes that limited the powers of judges overturn government decisions. the plants were highly unpopular from the massive nationwide protests last year. the issue has since been overshadowed by the board, gaza as well as defense forces, say the conflict with time us, which many countries designate a terrorist organization will probably continue throughout 2024. i think it's the benjamin netanyahu is said is well aimed to control causes border with egypt. at the same time, tensions on its northern border with living on a rising, fueling fuse of a 2nd front opening to the fact that most electra is in security and development at king's college london. i asked how a 2 front war would change things in the region to what i think it might become

challenging for is ro, despite to of messages that they are ready to fight a tool from tool because hospitalized so much more powerful military organizations on how much it is considered one of the most of when trained and heavy um, non stay doctors that is funded and equipped by iran. it has sold quite successfully for you. remember during the syrians, even board on this type of a rush on the side on it succeeded in defeating many of the sort of uh, pros to need munitions. sorry to has a very strong sort of packing experience. it also has apparently a tied to us and of of for okay. got it can fire and reach deep into ways right now, many of these rockets might not be very sophisticated. they are sort of a surface to surface artillery rotates and,

and they might not cause mastic damage, but stating they can be quite powerful. and also they're a suspicion that hits, but it also has and a shape and the size and undead press makes sense. so i think that hezbollah is a force to be reckoned with, and if they decide to use um, sort of a mentor to con, carry out an incursion of the kind or the has that how much carried out on october 7th, then that might be a problem for each read because it might need, i know more main deployed on the know. i think that'd be as unlikely to happen. but i think it's very much remained very vigilant because it'd be so kind as if there is a, an incursion on the ground. not limited just to the launching of rock, it's very close to the border then that might fall as these re lease to move um. unimportant bundle there for 6 also to the no. oh, what do you make the end of the timing of these rails plans to withdraw

a thousands of reservists from gaza? yeah, that's an interesting question because the argument goes, dodge, are these reservists have been fighting now for. busy over 2 months and many have been sent back to their homes. the argument those that the, you know that the x rays, the economy might be suffering, we must remember that these really is our population of 10000000 people. on the far end, you know, is we put together, we service and under profession on policies. we are talking about half a 1000000 people in uniform fighting. and i'm the acting pulse disruption to the running of these riley on him in the states. so there is also need to make sure that many of these flights of what reserves they might be able to go back and sort of raised our we training. but i think that what was p a from the message i

certainly heard today. and yesterday was that these reserving, some might be recalled again on the big question is not just and off, but what is happening in gosh, where they're fighting is varying tens of the israel is i've managed to address certain extend to, um, we can quite significantly at least half of the um, of the 24 battalions that how much has but to stay. i mean, there is quite a big truck in the fight in a month. so what it looks like, i'm also king's colleagues funding. thank you. this russian president vladimir pose and says his forces will intensify, strikes on ukraine in retaliation for an attack on the russian city of the hot rush . launch 90 attack drivers against ukraine in the hours leading into used a key says it's a defense is destroyed. 87 of them, a couple more options to find some president. lot of me. so lensky gave

a 20 minute new year a dress, although after almost 2 nights is of goal with rush. i mean, you find is a live and you can find, find somebody exist, you sent me your presidents. a lensky also said a big crate was not given. any thought had to be wanting. he did not mention problems in securing continued military aid for my life. so with no, with the apple, but now to some of the other stories making use costs as low as celebrating visa free travel to the european union after being granted entry to the jenkins or the people of kosovo with the only citizens of the west. both ends, we still needed a visa to enter the same sex marriage is now legal. in estonia, a couples had been able to register to civil partnerships, but parliament passed a bill legalizing marriage last june. estonia is the 1st voltage state and former soviet republics, to make the tie, once president, deciding when his relations with china must be decided by the will of the tie with
