thought to have been eight point nine on the richter scale the first wave has also reached russia's karylle islands to the north you're looking at pictures now from japan's northeast of the area being struck by a tsunami right now you can see the devastation from those pictures well one metre high waves have been reported in russia's territory that also has a somali. alert eleven thousand people are being evacuated from the area well in a northern japan a waltzer is surging in a said i some three hundred fifty kilometers north of tokyo as you can see on your screens well there is considerable damage and many casualties although the numbers cannot be confirmed at the moment because of bad communications which has been badly affected by the earthquake now several people are missing and a lower floor so all of buildings on one shoe island are being flooded and cars overturned again and you are looking at live pictures of japan's northeast which is currently being hit by a tsunami after an eight point nine earthquake struck off the coast of the north east of the country. we also know that the c

many experts have been predicting earthquakes in its southern parts for a long time and the northern karylle islands maybe the southern grille islands now considering the earthquake in japan seismic activity can spread there i also think that the north caucasus is a very dangerous zone because there haven't been any major. quakes there for a very long time and there was a minor earthquake in two thousand in a city in a quarter last great and but nothing serious in a really long time so these are think of the most dangerous roads in russia can shock you the coral islands and the north caucasus so that's what they mean giving you are we missing an overall increase in size make it fifty or is this just a volatile period when did start and when can be over that other oh well what about at the yes. i believe this period like all processes on earth is of cyclical development if we mention the middle of the twentieth century it was also a period of more activity with a greater quake in chile in one thousand nine hundred eighty with a magnitude of more than nine then a great quake in the north korea

rising and is expected to rise now there are also reports that the first wave has reached russia's karylle islands to the north reportedly around a meter high those waves of around a meter high but as you can see the pictures you have massive lulls of waves just eating up everything in its path of the devastation in the devastation there about two hundred people have reportedly been washed away several others missing entreprise. is part of the country that's closest to the peace center of course the damage the quake itself was also felt in tokyo and farson injuries widely reported there are still trying to calculate the economic costs which are infrastructure and right now you're looking at an oil refinery that is a blaze in ishihara chiba prefecture and these are still having a hard time containing the blaze has been going on for quite some time now now the international airport is also of reportedly shut down i just remind you an eight point nine earthquake hit the northeastern part of the country that's a rather round two for. six local time in egypt that was a middle of the afternoon o

said that the country is ready to help japan and you'll be catastrophe let's remember that russia's karylle islands also is on a tsunami warning with waves there already being reported to be about a meter high and of the entire pacific region is on a tsunami alert we have why braced to be hit within the next few hours. ok well of course the tragedy in japan is impacting on stock markets as well let's get the details of. our chief business desk kareen i think you just tell us well what is the impact of the quake the stock exchanges what's happening with the markets well asian stocks reacted to the earthquake obviously the region's better benchmark index dropped to its biggest weekly loss since august and we saw japanese shares for was a strong earthquake rocked the northeastern part of the country as you've just said and the nicky ended its five dropped to its five weeks low ending one point seven percent currencies also drop the yen lost ground for going to its lowest level against the dollar in two weeks we see hong kong stocks falling as investors sold down shares across the sectors in th

southern come chaka when the tsunami wave reached twenty five meters and the whole settlement of karylle was destroyed later in the one nine hundred seventy s. and one hundred eighty s. it was relatively common but already in the one nine hundred ninety s. the seismic activity grew again we see the twenty to twenty five years of relative camis is followed by a more active period i believe we are living in a more active period now to last about ten years more but i could not call such assumptions fully based on science you were let off they were saying that both you and your colleagues abroad predicted the earthquake in japan why weren't enough people evacuated then the. loss of a forecast has many parameters most important is analysis of seismic activity some quotes are constantly recorders and monitored information is cataloged anomalies like excessive callous or excessive activity are analyzed further data is used and the definition of the little sphere thermal and electromagnetic fields when you have many parameters coinciding you can announce the forecast one parameter alone is not e

ten meters and the whole of the pacific is on a tsunami watch the first wave has reached russia's karylle i listed north which is reportedly around three meters high. ok well we'll have more news for you and later this hour are two special reports on the hardships in hebron but first let's have a look at the latest business with. but i welcome to business news here on c.n.n. we start with our top story a powerful earthquake in japan is likely to affect the country's fragile economic recovery and. that could start it's already twice the size national g.d.p. now let's cross live to cabo head of sales capital group to discuss what's needed to help. japan's economy get over this and effect worldwide hello angus thanks for joining the program now how much will the tragedy impact about recovery i think. well it's no idea of them of course is this is a time when the global economy is facing a lot of challenges we're facing the sovereign debt crisis in europe we're facing the crisis in north africa and the middle east and now of course. a huge economy on a global scale has been hit by its biggest

slightly lower for instance during the shoot a town or quake of nine hundred ninety four in the southern karylle it was a very powerful quake two with a magnitude of eight point four as a result the island of sugar town sank by sixty centimeters never to rise the landscape was changed it looks like the same may have happened in japan but i don't have direct data now reports the globe i mean what else can be affected by the movement of plates in terms of google landscape. shifts in the plates in such cases may have been very significant affecting large territories if the ship is about ten meters the area affected on the surface will be thousands of square kilometers shipped is very big territorially it's where the earthquake has happened japan may sink a little while the continental plate rises on a working well but not outlook is going how reasonable is it to build nuclear power plants in earthquake zones after such disaster. when you're in the area there is no option they don't have energy resources as for us we don't build nuclear power stations in seismic zones they do. believe in such projec
