that means the meteorological agency must issue an alert while the ground is still shaking. the problem is that it takes time to determine the actual magnitude of a quake. the work involves analyzing seismic data gathered from a wide area in japan and outside the country. the march 11th earthquake had a magnitude of nine but three minutes after the tremor, the agency set its magnitude at 7.9. >> translator: we hope the new warning system will enable people to evacuate promptly. >> the meteorological agency plans to finalize a report on the new alert system by the end of the year. >>> summer's heat has set in across japan. the number of people who have been hospitalized for heat stroke has jumped by 40% compared to last year. this heat is especially tough on people who are living in emergency shelters and temporary housing because they lost their homes in the march 11th disaster. in me yagie prefecture some evacuees have had to be hospitalized. >> reporter: this is a temporary housing complex in minamisanriku. on july 15th, this woman noticed something wrong with her husband,

or so ago when we were all guy photos videos of a huge dust storm or as we properly call it meteorologically a whole group well maybe now those dust storms or as meteorologists say the hoops they've been playing in the state for weeks but the new york times reports that the word who apparently has a few people in arizona upset the who've it's a term used frequently in the middle east to describe these deaths to arms and that is apparently a little too much fairer zone it's they do not want local t.v. stations using the foreign word to talk about dust storms several have actually spent minutes maybe even hours firing off angry letters to local newspapers don johnson of gilbert arizona wrote to the arizona republic this letter he said i am insulted that local t.v. news crews are now calling this kind of storm a who how do they think our soldiers feel coming back to arizona and hearing some middle eastern terms also quoted in the daring new york times investigative piece is diane robinson a worker in burke arizona she's also matt she claims of the dust storms interstates are unique herodes excu

the forecasters at the spaceflight meteorology group in houston, part of the national weather service are going to be listening very closely to what he has to say and providing any updates to those forecasts either for here at kennedy for return to launch site if that's necessary, and for the overseas landing sites in spain and france. right now those sites all look good. all of the standard weather observations and forecasting normally perform before launch are being done today. the final phase began yesterday with a series of balloon releases. in the last 24 hours, about two dozen weather balloons of all different types were released. and today we have nine instrumented balloons to collect data on temperature, humidity, wind speed and barometric up to about 100,000 feet. six are being released that provide very highly accurate data on the wind speed direction, up to about 60,000 feet. this data is reduced and the countdown officers will select the proper computer program to allow the onboard computers to respond properly to the when conditions that they have observed, as the shuttle

weeks or so ago when we were all by photos videos of a huge dust storm or as we properly call it meteorologically. well maybe now though as it does storms or as meteorologists say the haboobs they've been plaguing the state for weeks but the new york times reports of the word who apparently has a few people in arizona upset the who but the term used frequently in the middle east to describe these dust storms and that is apparently a little too much for arizona they do not want local t.v. stations using the foreign word to talk about dust storms several have actually spent minutes maybe even.

this is from japan meteorological agency. we'll continue to track tropical storm ma-on.finally, i want to leave you with information regarding space shuttle "atlantis" as i take you over to our weather graphic. we know it undocked yesterday. we have to prepare for the final shuttle landing. how is the weather going to be for the big event? less than about 25 hours from now, expecting partly cloudy skies, southwest winds 5 to 10 kilometers perhaps, temperatures, 24 to 26, that's at 57 gmt. i know a lot of tears will be shed. more "world business today." stay with us. >>> from cnn london, i'm nina dos santos. >> i'm mall nisha tank. welcome back to world business today. on wednesday, july 20th, rupert murdoch is denying he had any knowledge of phone hacking at the now defunct "news of the world" tabloid. he also dedpended his handling of the scandal. the news corp. ceo and his son appeared before british legislators in a dramatic hearing that the elder murdoch called the most mumble day of my life. >>> stock jumped in australia and also in new york specifically in response

san jose state meteorology department is at 53.low pressure continues to just kind of hang out on the west coast. once it drops in we cool off a little bit. then it ejects out and that allows temperatures to cool off. everything is in the middle of country if you know. everything drifts out, inland highs are getting in a few degrees each day. upper 80s and low 90s and just leave it there. the seven and 10 day outlook shows continuation of cooler temps. temperatures in the upper 80s for some. petaluma 80. 76 vallejo, 87 antioch. 83 in the creek. 70 in oakland, 83 pleasanton. berkeley 68, alameda 67. some upper 80s, san jose 78. 76 in fremont. 80 woodside. pretty close by the coast, a little below inland and in fact, i see inland temps coming down but just upper 80s and low 90s as we go into the weekend. >>> conservative talk show host glen beck is under fire. what he said about the summer camp in norway where dozens of young people were gunned down. >>> plus a 17-year-old was killed in pacifica while riding his bike. why experts say

i want to thank the san jose state meteorology department they had a web camera there. it has been on the frit but it's -- it has been on the frits but it has been fixed. it's rather shallow and it's only hugging the coast. 60s for some. upper 60s for others. today sunny and warmer. thick fog on the coast on highway 1. lots of sunshine 60s, 70s coast today. upper 80s and a few 90s. it looks like cooler weather will take the inland temps down as we head into the weekend. >>> billionaire investigator carl icon increased his take over bid for clorox. he's offering $80 a share for the company. that did amount to $10 .2 billion in his bid. he owns more than 9% of that company. >>> federal lawmakers are calling for hearings and another investigation into the illegal mortgage practice known as row bow signing. officials in three states says it continues eight months after lenders promised to stop it. they found thousands of loan documents with questionable signatures. one company has received 1300 documents. but in 22 different styles of handwriting. >>> the height of the worl

we have not had any word from the japan meteorological association that has happened. liking that. it was a strong earthquake. we had buildings shaking and it is an automatic thing they do in japan as a result of the magnitude of the quake, it's shallow so automatically they trigger a tsunami advisory. there are different advisories along the coast. you can have essentially just like a tornado watch versus a warning. this was an advisory, not a warning. we never expect this had to be a major threat along the japanese coast here, but it is a strong earthquake. that's why they issued the tsunami alert. i think at this point, we're going to be in good shape. this has happened before since that disastrous 9.0, we have had strong earthquakes that triggered the tsunami advisories, but essentially nothing has happened here. and we're hoping, don, that's going to be the case this time around. if that changes, of course, we will let you know. >> ivan, thank you very much. >>> royalty at this time new the room tonight in los angeles. the duke and duchess of cambridge otherwise k

we've got other meteorological phenomenon happening. fog developing as we speak.e had a picture of the golden gate bridge about an hour ago, now that marine push all the way inland. you're going to find mostly cloudy start but not as hong as yesterday. that's good news if you are looking for warmer weather. we have warmer days ahead. we'll see a warm-up through your weekend. temperatures start to sky rocket toward the end of next week under a strong ridge of high pressure setting up in the eastern pacific. you can see where it's taking the storm track as we head throughout the next couple of days this will continue to inch toward us and nudge that trough of low pressure out of the way. so a warm-up on the way. if you are missing the 90s that we see this time of year, the upper 80s, in places like livermore, they'll be back at the end of next week. you'll get your summer. 54 in san mateo, we're headed to about 60 at noon in the city with a really comfortable mix of sun and clouds. mild conditions. when the highs check in, breezy, a little stronger of a sea breeze t

watch what's left here of former hurricane dora, now tropical storm and give you a little tropical meteorologyings to weaken a hurricane, increasing wind shear, cooler sea surface temperatures, interaction of land. in the case of this one is cooler sea surface temperatures as it continues to drift off to the north. sustained winds down to 40 miles per hour. it will continue to weaken during the day, likely just being an area of low pressure later on this afternoon. but you have to watch the moisture from these types of systems because if they can get drawn up out of the south, sometimes this can cause some lightning-sparked fires. i do not think this will be the case with this system as most of the moisture will go east of palm springs, heading out to arizona. obviously this morning we've got the low clouds. the main story for the bay area weather picture, backing off to the coastline for the afternoon, so at least our inland spots will get the sunshine today and low clouds come racing back in tomorrow morning. as the marine layer enthusiasticens enthusiastithic, we'll see more drizzle. it wil
