geological survey puts it at a magnitude of 7.0 termers were felt as far as away as athens and istanbul turkish officials say at least 4 people are dead and 120 injured details are still coming in this is very much still a breaking story let's turn now to do to correspondent dorian jones who is in istanbul dorian active searches i understand are going on right now what's the latest what do we know about the casualties as well. well at the moment there is very limper mation on the number of casualties and deaths but we do know from the mayor of is near sawyer he says at least 20 buildings have collapsed and it's believed that there were people within those buildings when those buildings did fall under this of quake as we speak now there is efforts now to dig into this rubble to try and find people in those buildings we have reports at least one person has been dug out of the rubble and these efforts are extremely dangerous and extremely difficult you can't move quickly for fear of provide leaving to further collapses in the building as we speak now there are emergency services coming fro

geological survey shows that toward the lower end of the spectrum, but mostly around willits, but a few reports in lake county as well. in terms of the warm pattern, the same pattern we had last week but the area of high pressure that's pressing down on us and keeping us warm and dry is further offshore, and it has weakened a little bit, so the offshore wind is going to be with us off, and on throughout the week, but it's not going to be as strong and temperatures are going to be as hot and temperatures drop off overnight. this is the view from the hotel and a beautiful view of the city. 57 downtown, 54 santa rosa, other temperatures in the low- to-mid-60s, so we are going to drop into the 50s by early tomorrow morning and not seeing much followed from this perspective as you see the bay bridge, the latest forecast model runs have been producing less and less fog. we were anticipating some around the bay, but doesn't look like it's going to be a major factor and by late morning any hint of fog should be gone. plenty of sunshine, that means warmer temperatures. in the 60s in san francisc

the us geological survey said the quake, south of the sparsely—populated aleutian islands, was of 7.5s. thousands of indigenous people have marched through the colombian capital, bogota, to protest against an increase in violence against them. demonstrators accuse the government of ignoring a rise in murders of indigenous leaders by drug trafficking groups. they also want to be consulted on development projects in their territories. new research suggests that bottle—fed babies may be swallowing tiny plastic particles along with their milk. researchers at trinity college in dublin, say standard feeding bottles contain a plastic called polypropylene which, when heated to the high temperatures required for sterilisation, can shed millions of microplastics and trillions of even smaller nanoplastics. drones are being deployed in australia to drop gum tree seedsin an attempt to regenerate bushland areas and boost the koala population which was almost wiped out by wildfires earlier this year. gum tree leaves are the animals' main source of food. the goal is to repopulate native species, to r

geological survey struck turkey's disasters agency has said that earthquake struck at 12 o one g.m.c. 301 local time we understand that it's lease they're saying at least 5 buildings have collapsed 4 people the turkish agency are saying were rescued but we also understand that people have been killed at least 4 people have been killed in that earthquake in turkey some 120 people have been injured that earthquake striking at 3 o 1 pm local time a reminder for viewers this is in the middle of the day several schools are closed many people working from home of course this is happening in the middle of the day and several buildings have collapsed in the city so the number of people injured we can expect to rise given the extensive the damage that we have been seeing in the turkish city of is mere this is one of the largest cities in turkey significant damage has occurred rescuers are on the scene attempting to try and save as many survivors as they can but this is a significant seismic events tremors felt in istanbul tremors also felt in greece on the islands of some most as well so we're

reactions across the arctic here's more from jason box who's a climatologist and a professor at the geologic survey of denmark and greenland he says the drop in temperature could lead to other problems in the region the sea ice has in the last 40 years lost half its mass half of its that is and half of its area in this year after greenlee persistent heat wave that affected siberia since since time we've the fires across northern siberia this part of the arctic is especially warm and so we see the sea ice effectively reacting to this extremely warm situation to the north coast of syria and it's a great concern has it's a very shallow sea. and. underneath that 10 to 40 meter deep water layer is a sea bed that itself contains an enormous store of current i'm concerned that he or me see waters can destabilize the carbon see that so this area of open water it's releasing a lot of extra heat into the atmosphere and what that'll do is perpetuate this condition of open water that's probably part of the delay of the return of the frozen sea surface itself past the hour on al jazeera and if you're just joini

geological survey he told us about the the amount of off the shock some of those it was was was telling us there about those aftershocks he was telling us that after a magnitude 7 quake how many more shocks could be expected. we would expect to see aftershocks from this quake in fact the largest aftershock we've had so far is magnitude $4.00 that occurred about one hour after the main shock and we would expect to see aftershocks continuing well for magnitude 7 earthquake they can definitely do a lot of mitigation and we've seen that in chile where they frequently have large earthquakes and they suffer. little damage because they have experience with large earthquakes there the largest earthquake we've ever measured was the chile earthquake of 1960 which was magnitude 9.5 so once they had that earthquake they started getting really serious about building codes also that's true in places like california where buildings have to pass a certain seismic code well no one's found a way to predict earthquakes yet but we do know that when we have a large earthquake like this there will be aftersh

the us geological survey has put the strength at 7.0 magnitude, local earthquake monitoring servicest has been strong enough to bring down the several buildings in the city of izmir. local officials are saying that about 20 buildings have collapsed. we don't yet know what kind of buildings they were. but there been video has appearing ina very but there been video has appearing in a very distressing video on social media, which is so far unverified, but in one case it shows what appears to be a story apartment building coming down, people running away in fear, running into the streets screaming in terror. we do know that a search is ongoing now in several of those buildings for survivors. we also know there has been a sea level rise. there is video, again on social media, showing flooding in parts of izmir, and there are reports coming in of fisher men who may be missing at sea. this is a risk people in turkey live with every day, it is one of the most seismically active countries. it sits on several active fault lines. but people here will be remembering that back in 1999 another po

geological survey what they said craig about 6000 people who live in the area of severe shaking 71000 in the area a very strong shaking of 3200000 in the area of strong shaking which implies that in fact the number of casualties is likely to rise possibly substantially but one thing is that techie since 999 as opposed to a pretty good network of search and rescue units are go to brown couldn't go there which is based in istanbul and is on the scene now we this minute and they are united nations so to fight their own party quality you know they know what they're doing so you're getting the convergence reaction of search and rescue technical explain medical specialists doctors and so on on this area and of course the emergency operations will go on unchecked throughout the night and why is it that seems to. hit pretty hard by this earthquake where as. greece and the greek islands at the moment don't seem to have suffered this kind of damage. well if the earth breaks it didn't start quite superficially right near the surface of the earth's crust and this one had a high profile into that

jason talks in copenhagen he's an ice climatologist and professor of bracieux at the place at geologic surveydenmark and greenland good to have you with us jason what are we to make of this hello adrian yes what we're talking about here is sea ice that is it's frozen sea water and it's kind of a thin veneer of the caps the arctic ocean and sea itis as in the last 40 years lost half of its mass its the illness and half of its area it is year after extremely persistent heat wave that's affected siberia since since sprint time the fires are across northern siberia is part of the arctic is specially warm and so we see the sea ice effectively reacting to this extremely warm situation in the north coast of siberia and it's a great concern because it's a very shallow sea and underneath that 10 to 40 meter deep water layer is a sea bed that itself contains an enormous store of current i'm concerned any more me the sea waters can destabilize the carbon seabed so it would make matters worse what are the implications then for that for the rest of us and climate change it in general is it going to freeze

geological survey saying this is a 7.0 magnitude quake just to put this into context back in 1999 there was a 7.4 magnitude quake in that area an earthquake that was so strong it killed some 17000 people a face and of whom were in istanbul so these sorts of earthquakes they will carry some kind of tall were there any tremors felt in istanbul where you're reporting from. well hello istanbul is also another risk a city inside in turkey is that is facing a risk of a very strong earthquake that's why the whole going to the civil institutions are calling for urban transformed nation especially to back up support the structure of those old buildings that have been damaged or that are that are potentially going to be damaged or demolished and build new ones and is in istanbul we are hearing that some people were able to feel the strength of this earthquake but if the pens on the where you are because a stumble is a very large city and also it depends on the ground the ground that you are staying on because some parts of istanbul are more sensitive. when it comes to feeling the earth place comi

the us geological survey, an interagency study recently and then just as i mentioned last night the newxecutive order from the president on this topic highlights some of the major concerns that i think all of us have and i'm just going to highlight some of the language from the executive order. 31 of the 35 critical minerals that we have for the defense industrial base the united states imports more than half of its annual consumption and the united states has no domestic production for 14 of these critical minerals. the dependence that we have on one country, the people's republic of china for these critical minerals is particularly concerning. the united states now imports 80 percent of its rare earth minerals from china with portions of the remainder indirectly sourced from china through other countries. in the 1980s the united states reduce more of these elements than any other country in the world and by the way, we still have them in my state. okay melton is an example china used aggressive economic practices to strategically flood the global market for rare earth elements and dis

geological survey putting it at a magnitude of 7.0 tremors were felt as far away as athens and istanbul in is missile media footage showed a collapsed building there are no immediate reports of casualties so for more we're joined by g.w. correspondent dorian joins in his simple dorian what did it feel like where you are . well in fact i did feel the tremor from this very powerful earthquake even though it occurred several 100 kilometers away from is stamboul but it was significant enough to the you could actually feel it here in istanbul so there is already a great deal of concern for where the epicenter of the earthquake is izmir turkey 3rd largest city and he and it is also a reminder of people in istanbul of the ongoing threat of earthquakes. so what are you hearing from local media reports and eventually about possible casualties. well we understand is initial reports is that this earthquake was anywhere between $6.07 on the richter scale now that is a very powerful earthquake for turkey there we've got reports certainly from the city of his me which i can i said is turkey's 3rd lar
