the hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you. with this, a massive earthquake has hit taiwan, causing serious damage and knocking out power. the 10s of thousands, the strongest, are required in 25 years, was centered near the city of quality inn on taiwan eastern coast. for people have been confirmed dead and more than 50 are injured. the national fire agencies say some people are trapped after dozens of buildings and tunnels collapse. the powerful 7.5 magnitude quake initially prompted. so nami warnings for japan and the philippines which have since been lifted. for the very latest. let's cost our east asia bureau in taipei and our correspondent, the james trader. james,

how badly has taiwan been affected by this quick while, as you mentioned in the introduction, this is now the lowest possible as crate to strikes high want in 25 years. the majority of those casualties and injuries you mentioned we're seeing and not east and city of holly. and that's also why we're seeing the most shocking kind of social media images coming out from this quite some line slides. reducing wrote faces to, to dust and rubble. also some buildings and goals, almost at 45 degrees to the grounds. and that's where we also believe some of the people are still trumped in those buildings. now one of the other things that people, of course be looking at is that the impacts on the semi conduct your industry in taiwan, which produces some 90 percent of the was let us have on semi conducts is the biggest company, the most important company to some of the sofa says that the operations of the font trees have been largely on handed. that was a brief period of evaluation. but operation so far seems to be present proceeding without too much interference from the south clay. but just the other thing that

people will be concerned about in the coming out was, is that we've had a really significant number of off to shock since this main of craig struck in about 8 am. in the 4 hours off the creek, we had about $58.00 off the shots, 2 of which were above a magnitude 6 or concerns in the coming i was about. that's the impact of those off the shots. what about other countries in the region james? tsunami warnings were issued for a wide area is absolutely the main area of japan that was potentially looked like it could be impacted by the side of clinic with the south western islands. ok, now, prefecture, some of the islands and not prefab trash. the very, very close to the time these may not, this is islands like you on a journey. it should key west unami warnings were issued in some so you know, many ways as she reached those islands within an hour i asked you this quite taken place. those warnings have since been lifted. it seems that the impacts on the japanese parts of um, of looking out for the veteran was the philippines have been launch the on the

sites and flights of resumes to all came our but again, japanese authorities say here, warning, given that we have seen this, this large number of off the shots, the people in these islands should remain cautious because of the shock even of a magnitude states which we have seen, still have the potential to to trick a single many ways. now the reason is no stranger to earthquakes are people they're generally well prepared. yes, high one has a very well wheels response mechanism to this type of quake. and the, the, the response and emergency services really spring into action. taiwan is present time when to submit a treat. personnel are on their way to the most um, cited zones. and of course, you know, we have seen really, really damaging of quakes entire ones. history, for example, the 1999, a craig where we had some 2000 people killed in tens of thousands of buildings

destroyed since the crate took place. we've had much more stringent restrictions and sorry, regulations in terms of the crate creasing buildings. and that's why we really don't see the level of destruction you might expect from an outbreak of this magnitude in taiwan. james, thank you very much. that was our course by the james chase or in time pay. now to israel and the head of the country's military service and they were striking guys of the killed 7 workers from the charity group. world central kitchen was a grave mistake, idea of cheap, how to levy said an initial investigation indicated that the strike resulted from a mis identification under complex conditions. and that it should not have happened is really prime minister bending mean nothing. yahoo said israel deeply regretted the strike. this makes shift the kitchen, and rafa is now closed. world central kitchen has paused its activities and gaza off to israel,

struck the convoy of aid workers displaced. palestinians heavily relied on food aid provided by the us, cherokee while the central kitchen was feeding many people in providing them with on board. okay. without it, people won't know where to turn. so they will definitely be a lot of fun there. a few times since you are a salesman who works it. footage taken off to the attack, showed to burnt out of the vehicles featuring the n g o's logo, as well as in, on the vehicle. the n g o says the vehicles were traveling through a so called d conflictions zone and had coordinated the movements beforehand with these really also are these the victims with citizens of a stray layer, the us, canada, poland, and bring them a palestinian was also killed. well,

the leaders have condemned the strike. this is completely unacceptable. of these is riley government has accepted responsibility for this. and there is a need for i saw an investigation into what happened here. and prime minister netanyahu committed to that of israel is military chief, says a mist identification leads to the age convoys being hit. this incident was a grave mistake. is that there? well, we've come off now with the people of guys. we are sorry for the intention that home to the members of that b u. c. k. over $200.00 humanitarian aid workers have now been killed in the war and gaza, feeling anger and calls for israel to better protect civilians. because

let's get more now from our correspond in jerusalem, tanya kramer, tanya, the air striking guys of the killed 78 workers, a strong strong international criticism including from washington. will this put further pressure on israel's prime minister to change his gaza strategy? i mean, you have to say there has been a lot of international pressure over the past weeks on the is rarely cabinet to change. it's a started to your conduct of one to do more to protect civilians and garza, that includes of course, also humanitarians and 8 workers there. but this didn't, this hasn't so far been reflected on the ground and the military effort a post to take precedent. now, what are the u. n. officials and other ad torcous have said that this is not an isolated incidents incident report. it and the report that over a 190 you many turn workers have been code in the occupied posting and territories

according to the united nations. and they're saying that the mechanism of the security arrangements didn't work in this case. so basically, uh they say to continue you meant to term work and one of the most dangerous areas that needs to be a change in those mechanisms and needs to be an understanding of the, to many parent actors that are so about the need to, to bring a h, a to a protest and civilians need to be protected. bill. israel is describing the incident as a grave mistake and promising a thorough investigation, but is that likely they have any consequences, tanya? i mean, there are 2 things here. one is of course the, the legal part and we've heard from the authorities here from the government, but also from these really military that they are the investigations are under way . of course, this is always

a bit problematic every scene in the policy because it's the military investigating itself. so we have to wait and see what the outcome of this investigation will be. on the other hand, there will also have to be a review of the security arrangements because we've seen that, for example of word, a central kitchen, they have a pose, there were other n g o. so also certain give reviewing the security arrangements. it is a very dangerous work and an active was on an active conduct phone and without a mechanism to coordinate with the military to have these convoys going into the territory. this simply doesn't work and was central kitchen has said they were fully coordinated with a convoy still, it appears according to reports here, that they were drawn strikes of tracking this cold war. and there were several strikes on those called that were also, and he, some of them are clearly marked. and again,

there were coordinated with the military. so it's very important to you to, you know, to retain, to trust that these chromeboys can go into such a comfort zones. tony, thank you very much. that was our correspondent tony kramer in jerusalem. bussey rouge and my father has been sworn in as setting goals, new presidents. it's a dramatic change for the former opposition figure who was in jail just a few weeks ago. the 44 year old swept to power in last month's elections on pledges of radical reform just 10 days after being released from prison. several african leaders attended his swearing in ceremony. is a look at africa's youngest elected president and the challenges he now faces. his supporters call him mister clean. that's because president
