We live from New Delhi you’re watching DD India news India’s voice to the world I’m leak shikura coming up in the next hour huge landslides in Wan after Taiwan hit by strongest quake in 25 years leaves over 87,000 people without power Japan Philippines war residents to evacuate to higher level

Areas world leaders condemn Israeli a strike on Aid workers calls for a transparent investigation is well admits Convoy hit unintentionally promises independent investigation US President Joe Biden speaks to Chinese counterpart Shi Jinping on phone talks focus on Taiwan Ai and Tech issues and in turkey at least 29 people

Killed during daytime renovation work at a nightclub in Istanbul Onto the details now an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2 hit Tha the capital of Taiwan on Wednesday morning killing one person injuring dozens the Taiwan Central weather Administration said the epicenter of the Quake was in waters of the Eastern Coastline of Taiwan Island the Quake knocked out bar in several

Parts of the city the Quake was also felt in Shanghai meanwhile taii city government said it has not yet received any reports of major damage the Chinese State media stated it was felt in fuzia Shaman guano and ning in China’s fijan Province who thae residents were rattled after the qu Taiwan Central weather

Administration said that aftershocks could still be felt in thae more than 25 aftershocks were also registered in the region the Tremors also caused massive landslides in the Eastern mountaineous County of huin taiwan’s fire department said one person is suspected to have been crushed to death by Falling Rocks

In huan the area was the epicenter of the Quake well following the tsunami warnings triggered after a powerful earthquake Japan has issued an evacuation advisory for the coastal areas of the Southern prefecture of okav Japan’s weather department has said that tsunami waves of up to 3 met were

Expected to reach large areas of Japan’s Southwestern Coast while Philippines have also issued a tsunami warning following a strong Taiwan quake well in view of the earthquake India thap Association has set up emergency helpline for assistance guidance or clarification to all IND Nationals living in Taiwan India thap Association

Has also provided a phone number 0952 47906 and email a add. me.gov doin and it indas Laura Westbrook joins us from Hong Kong for more on the earthquake well Laura after the powerful earthquake uh there has been a massive tsunami warning uh what is the current status there right

Now yes you’re right Japan’s Southern prefecture of Okinawa issued a tsunami warning that’s now being downgraded to advisory and no damage has been reported in Japan in Taiwan though it’s a very different story that powerful earthquake was felt um in Taiwan all the way into the capital Taipei it it occurred about

2 minutes before 8:00 a.m. local time and it was felt uh in qualan as well which was about 18 about 18 kilometers away sorry from juen and that is where the eastern part of the city that is where uh the eastern part of Taiwan that

Is where most of the damage uh is being reported we’re getting reports of buildings that have collapsed um we’re getting reports that dozens of people have been injured at least one person has died and there have been massive landslides reported there as well Rescuers are now assessing the damage

And uh the government has said that the aftershocks continue to be felt in Taipei and in hualian the eastern part of Taiwan um but major infrastructure remains uh undamaged uh the uh the uh Railway system in the city in the country has been has be has been halted

But both nuclear power plants are unaffected all right also as you say the Earth uh the aftershocks are still coming uh what are the precautions being uh taken yes uh in the [ __ ] Taiwanese authorities have uh opened up some evacuation centers in hualian which is

Uh one of the areas which has been most affected so uh that’s for residents who are there who um who are continuing to feel the effects of aftershocks uh in that part of uh that part of Taiwan um Rescuers are assessing the damaged they

Also have to get there um as well and so uh we are uh we are monitoring uh what’s happening and um and but as I said there there the major infrastructure in the in the country appears to be um undamaged although we are hearing that there are multiple uh building

Collapses all right thank you so much Laura for that update from there and moving on leaders worldwide to condemn the deaths of 78 workers in an Israeli air strike in Gaza British Australian polish US Canadian dual Citizen and Palestinian Nationals were killed when their Convoy was attacked on

Monday night the world Central Kitchen had immediately paused its operations in the region and the White House said it was outraged by an Israeli air strike in Gaza that killed seven people working for World Central Kitchen US National Security Council coordinator for strategic Communications John Kirby said that President Joe Biden called the

Charity Aid group’s founder to share his condolences we were outraged to learn of an IDF strike that killed a number of Civilian humanitarian workers yesterday from the world Central Kitchen which has been Relentless in working to get food to those who are hungry in Gaza and quite frankly around the world we send

Our deepest condolences to their families and loved ones we expect the broader investigation to be be conducted and to be done so in a Swift and comprehensive manner we hope that those findings will be made public and that there is appropriate accountability held and Australian prime minister Anthony Alban said on Wednesday his

Country was outraged by the completely unacceptable death of an Australian Aid worker in Gaza from an Israeli air strike Albany said he spoke with his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu and conveyed Australia’s anger and concern at the death of eight worker Zi Frank uh I spoke with uh prime minister

Netanyahu this morning with a phone call uh that was organized uh overnight uh I expressed uh Australia’s anger and concern at the death of zomie frankcom this is completely unacceptable uh the Israeli government has accepted uh responsibility uh for this and prime minister Netanyahu uh conveyed uh his

Condolences uh to the family of zomi uh frankum and to Australia as a result of this tragedy and Britain on Tuesday summoned the Israeli Ambassador over the deaths of Aid workers in Gaza foreign secretary David Cameron posted on social media platform X that he had spoken with his

Israeli counterpart Israel cats to to underline that the debts were completely unacceptable he added Israel must urgently explain how this happened and make major changes to ensure safety of Aid workers on the ground also the United Nations Secretary General Antonio gutus said that Israeli strikes in World Central Kitchen Aid

Workers was devastating speaking at a session in United Nations General Assembly the UN Chief said that the attack on Aid workers in Gaza one un uncontable the devastating Israeli air strikes that killed World Central Kitchen Personnel yesterday bring the number of Aid workers killed in this conflict to

196 including more than 175 members of our own un staff this is unconscionable but it is an inevitable result of the way the war is being conducted it demonstrates yet again the urgent need for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire the unconditional release of all hostages and the expansion of

Humanitarian Aid into Gaza as the security Council demanded in its resolution last week the resolution must be implemented without delay and Israeli Chief of Staff hary halav apologized on Wednesday for the unintentional harm to the members of the world Central kit in G AA he said an independent body will carry out a

Thorough investigation he added that the findings of the investigation will be shared with the world Central Kitchen and other relevant International organizations this incident was a grave mistake Israel is at a war with Hamas not with the people of Gaza we are sorry for the unintentional harm to the members of

Wck we share in the grief of their families as well as the entire world Central Kitchen organization from the bottom of our hearts an independent body will investigate the incident thoroughly we will complete it in the next coming days we will learn from the conclusions and Implement them

Immediately we will share in full transparency the findings of the investigation with the world Central Kitchen and other International relevant organization we see great importance in the continued delivery of humanitarian Aid and we will keep working to facilitate this vital effort and prime minister Benjamin nanu too described the incident as tragic and

Unintended he said such accidents happen in war time unfortunately in the last day there was a tragic case of our forces unintentionally hitting innocent people in the Gaza Strip this happens in wartime we are thoroughly looking into it are in contact with the governments and will do everything to ensure it does

Not happen again well the US Secretary of State has held talks with the French President as out of a trip to France and Belgium the Middle East and Ukraine were the top issues on the agenda did India Ross scullen reports for more well Anthony blinkin and Emanuel

Macron met on Tuesday earlier in the day Anthony blinken had met his French counterparts the French foreign minister Stefan seon and Mr seon updated Mr blinkin on his recent trip to China where he pressed Beijing to use its influence with Moscow to try to bring about an end to the conflict in Ukraine

Earlier on Tuesday Mr blink to a weapons Factory here in France with the French defense minister saying it was crucial for Western allies to keep up the support for Kiev particularly providing ammunition to the Ukrainian Armed Forces now the Middle East was the other major issue for Mr blinkin and Mr macron to

Discuss on Tuesday particularly given the ongoing pressure from countries like the United States and France on Israel not to go ahead with its planned offensive in the south of the Gaza Strip around the city of Rafa also the talks between uh the French President and the United States sec SEC of State coming

After the killing of Iranian Generals in an air strike believed to have been carried out by Israel inside Syria and also those talks coming after the deaths of several Aid workers after Israeli Jets mistakenly targeted the group Distributing Aid in the Gaza Strip France has twice this year hosted talks

Between the United States katar Egypt and Israel to try to find a deal to release the hostages still being held by Hamas and also to secure an end to the conflict and discussions of two-state solution going forward now those talks were held on Tuesday on Wednesday the next destination for Mr blinken was

Relationship nicka reports for more from Washington well the White House says it was a candid and constructive discussion lasting about an hour and 45 minutes and it was an opportunity to build on some of the issues the two leaders discussed when they last spoke back in November at a face-to-face meeting in California

Things like collaboration on climate change counternarcotics cooperation how to counter the spread of fenel and ongoing military to military communication but the White House also made it clear C that President Joe Biden raised a number of major concerns that the US has with Beijing in particular we’re told that Biden pushed

Washington’s concern about any attempts by Beijing to bring Taiwan under its influence and control also concerns about Chinese military buildup in the South China Sea and perceived aggression towards us allies like the Philippines and Washington’s worries about China’s support of Russia in its war against

Ukraine this was a chance to try and de fused tensions between the two countries that have been Rocky for many months both leaders were told underscored the value that they see in frequent engagements and the attempt to return to regular phone calls however there was no

Agreement out the back of this call for the two men to meet again face to face while the White House said it was possible there was no firm commitment from either side or a firm date however in the coming weeks there will be a series of highlevel engagements with the

US Treasury secret Janet Yellen and Secretary of State Anthony blinken due to travel to Beijing in the coming weeks in Washington Nick Harper reporting for DD India well during the conversation Biden stressed support for Taiwan but she called a US interference in the South China see a red line did ind’s

Laura Westbrook reports from Hong Kong for more yes this was the first call between the two presidents since they met in San San Francisco last November where TI is partly stabilized uh there have been tensions between the two countries and this call was really seen as another attempt to try and stabilize those

Tensions and create more dialogue the two leaders discussed a range of issues from artificial intelligence to military Communications Mr Biden wrote on Twitter following the call that he looked forward to responsibly managing the relationship in the weeks and months ahead while President president Xin ping that he hoped to strengthen dialogue in

A mutually respectful way but the US did push its view it stressed that the importance of Peace in the Taiwan Strait as well as the rule of law um and uh navigation in the South China Sea the sh xiin ping in China said the South CH us

Interference in the South China Sea was a red line and analysts are really saying that this call was a way to show the world that the two leaders of the two world’s biggest economies are speaking and then there is dialogue but there is still significant tensions between the two countries not least over

Taiwan as well as over trade and as well in Hong Kong Hong Kong uh passed a domestic National Security Law and the US state department has said that it will impose visa restrictions on some Hong Kong officials that in it deemed uh responsible for for a Crackdown on freedoms

Here well NATO foreign ministers will meet on Wednesday to discuss how to put military support for Ukraine on a long-term footing including a proposal for $ 107 billion US fund the plans will be discussed during a two-day meeting in Brussels that will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the North

Atlantic Treaty Organization the aim is to have an eight package finalized in time for a NATO Summit which will be held in Washington in July the proposals by NATO Secretary General Jen stonberg would give the Western Alliance a more direct role in coordinating the supply of arms ammunition and equipment to Ukraine

Its proxies not to take advantage of the situation we will not hesitate to defend our personnel and repeat our prior warnings to Iran and its proxies not to take advantage of the situation again an attack in which we had no involvement or Advanced knowledge to resume their attacks on us

Personnel even as we continue to learn more about this incident it seems clear that every member of this Council should reiterate that all States including Iran and Syria have a responsibility to avoid the path of escalation to stop arming and Advising terrorist groups and to re in the actions of proxies who threaten

Donald Trump was ordered to pay roughly $450 million after a New York judge found that he’d inflated the value of his asset assets for favorable terms from lenders but just last week an appeals court lowered that figure to $175 million As Trump continues to fight the judges ruling in a statement a

Lawyer for Trump said he made the payment as promised and looks forward to vindicating his rights on appeal the bond was secured through Knight’s speciality insurance company the chairman of the group that owns the insurance firm is said to be a trump supporter but speaking to us broadcast

New York reporting for DD India and it’s been a whole week since a major bridge in the US city of Baltimore collapsed after a container ship lost par and crashed into it killing six construction workers The Vessel the Dal is still stuck in the Patapsco River and

The unnamed 21 man crew all but one of whom are Indian citizens remain on board till probe completes D Benji hire reports for more less than 2 kilm from this giant cargo ship lodged in wreckage sits Andrew Middleton texting the Indian seaf farers on board he’s been checking in

With the crew several times a day since the Collision the interactions I’ve had with with the two crew members that I have contact with uh you know I’ve I’ve kind of limited my questions to just how they’re doing and if there’s any any need on board the responses have ranged

From we’re we’re we’re very busy to everyone is great I’m trying not to be too intrusive um but you know they’re they’re doing sure they’re doing the best that they can to occupy themselves given the circumstances reping Andrew’s program apostleship of the provides comfort and assistance to those coming through

Take down the Francis Scott Key bridge through the whole Bridge just fell down when you’re on a ship and things go quiet it’s the worst sound you’ve ever heard it really is it it’s horrifying because you know you’ve lost control there’s nothing you can do I mean you’re

Literally at the at the mercy of inertia and currents and winds for now there’s no plan to change out the crew they’re unlikely to be allowed to disembark until the ship itself is moved but that can’t happen yet as debris from the accident has to First be cleared to free the vessel from

The bridge some of the crew though not necessarily all have the documentation required to set foot Stateside they may need medical assessments following the ordeal they could be repatriated or forc to wait here until the ship is repaired senior ranks may be kept even longer to partake in a formal investigation all

This could take days weeks even months there’s no exact timeline on extraction until then the sailors among the hundreds of thousands of Indians employed in the global Maritime industry have ample supplies of food water and internet as they manage and maintain the vessel my Center along with the Baltimore International seafare Center

Politics data and Analysis free from bias to help you understand why India matters the Great Indian election on week this at 8:30 p.m. only on DV India welcome back you’re watching DD India news I’m leak shikan and time now for a quick recap of the headlines huge landslides in huan after Taiwan hit the strongest quake in 25 years leaves over 87,000 people without par Japan Philippines warn residents to evacuate to higher level area

World leaders condemn Israeli a strike on eight workers calls for a transparent investigation Israel admits Convoy hit unintentionally promises independent Investigation US President Joe Biden speaks to Chinese counterpart Shi Jinping on phone talks about Taiwan Ai and Tech issues and in turkey at least 29 people killed during daytime renovation work at a night club in Istanbul and now we are joined by Dr op Mishra director National Center for

Seismology in India’s Ministry of Earth Sciences with us on the earthquake in Taiwan uh well welcome to the welcome to DD India sir good morning sir welcome to DD India good morning so as we know that a major earthquake hit Taiwan in 25 years the Tremors was strong and injuring seever

Injured several several people tsunami warning has also been issued what do you think what factors contribute to the high sismic activity uh especially in the Taiwan belt um it is purely the sasmo teonic setting of the Taiwan you know the Taiwan is located in between the Eurasian plate and the pH Philippine SE

Plate and they have the different converging rates so the Philippine SE plate is moving at 8 cm per year and and and the lesser than the uran plate so it was actually the plate convergence uh causing the stress built up in the entire is equal to territory of the

Taiwan Islands but if you see this earthquake after 25 years Chichi earthquake you found that this is the coastal eastern coast of the Eastern Taiwan it is sub Oceanic earthquake means it was occurred within the ocean but in the coast bu so it was already not a puzzle because there are many

Earthquakes occuring a Hine like you can see that in the year 2018 6 February the magnitude uh was measured in 6.2 again in the 19 also the magnitude 18th April just in April 2019 there was the magnitude 6.3 so the sasic city is dictated by the F fault system tectonics and several

Cative factors that is leading to the Genesis of the earthquake so it is not a puzzle if you see the many earthquakes also of the lower magnitude are occurring in around the in in the uine all right also uh Taiwan Central weather Administration said that the earthquake registered the second highest

Intensity of an upper six in huan County can you pleas please explain what the upper six thing means uh actually you see if the earthquake magnitude you take means it is the level of the magnitude it was the energy content so if the magnitude six is there whatever the

Energy they have the seven magnitude earthquake will be the 33 times of the six so six was called a strongest earthquake and and and and as we go on the upper and upper six above means this magnitude recorded initially 7.4 but revised to 7.2 by the Taiwan the weather

V forecast it was the it was the the 7.2 so 7.2 comes the strongly strong earthquake that means they have capability to high PGA Value to shing to too much energy generation but if it was the lesser than the six then it was just a moderate to strong earthquake

Depending that how the sesmic wave is getting attenuated so upper six wave magnitude earthquake means the more energy content falling in the destructive Earth category all right uh also sir what are the major risks and challenges uh which are posed by the earthquake especially if you talk about this particular

Belt actually Taiwan and even the Japan philippin Philippine all countries they have taken a very impressive measures of doing that but the problem is that AR is not forecasted well well before the occurrence of uh of the the event so the thing is that only precautionary measure

Is that we have the history of the earthquake we know that how much energy is generating in these earthquake prone areas like Taiwan Japan and the Philippine area in Philippine area then in this case the measure is that you have to earthquake R resilient structure and you can see that the whatever the

Damage pattern seeing in Taiwan most of the buildings are the earthquake R resilient they registed the earthquake shaking most of the sismic energy or sismic wave get attenuated but the foundation was not up to the of so strong to withand all the Shing that’s why there is a damages and collapse of

Building taking place so here the the the the area has been demarcated already that this is the earthquake of more than six magnet earthquake Coastal built structures uh whatever building it should be the earthquake Isis resilient some structures are earthquake proof of the past earthquakes so there should be

A retrofitting whatever the buildings damages taking place and there is the precautionary measures that whatever the the building courts they have made there is a dynamic revision each and every time for the coastal areas so the alertness uh to the earthquake occurrences and what was its impact already they have been assessed and

Following of the new building design Cod Bo that is the most important aspect for here because Earth is not predicted or forecasted with present state of knowledge but they have demarcated the zone that which Jone is going to impend what category of the earthquake it was destruct destructive or a strong or two

A strong earthquakes so these all the all the precautions should be taken and I think Taiwan has taken enough otherwise if such type of occur in coastal belt massive massive disasters might have happened so buildings are actually the testimony that they have a most earthqu resilient buildings they

Have been buil up but only you know 25 to 30 buildings so the the the impact of the earthqu taking on there maybe the foundational design was not up to the mar Mark to attenuate the sesmic waves so these are the actually the cases all right also sir you just said that

Prediction is not possible uh but do you think uh there is any way where the scientist can monitor the earthquakes in the region yeah science is monitoring earthquake around the corner by the cograph an accelerograph called a strong motion and prediction means they have the four stages of prediction so entire

World has earthquake prediction they cross the three stages that means they have the the the knowing the expectation where the earthquake happened they have the scientific justification why it is going to happen and but but you know anticipation we anticipate that this is demarcated Zone but these expectation anticipation and justification are with

Without the reference of time space size so now the third step is authentication that what the world is working that if the authenticate this type of the of the of the informations then you can predict the earthquake but the same time research is going on to understand the earthquake generating mechanism what

Type of the source faults is there so that’s why in order to monitor the behavior of the source Zone behavior of the source fault we have to have around the corner monitoring of the entire world you might have seen that there is the Irish station all over the world in

Taiwan has its own s cosmographic accelerograph stations Japan has a dense cosmographic Network to monitor the earthquake of a smaller magnitude to the bigger magnitude a smaller earthquake is important to say that where the earthquake is releasing where the stess is releasing where the stess is accumulating where the stess is too much

Uh quence there there is no stress release so all these monitoring scientific factors can be used in the robotic earthquake prediction and forecasting model maybe we understand the mechanism then by that way monitoring is going on but at the same time science has given the also the

Parameters to a structure or build the infrastructure earthquake risk resilient so that maximum seing can be attenuated not damaging the building so two research is going on in cosmological research one is the earthquake risk resilient structure or infrastructure using the All cosmological and geotechnical parameters and second is

The monitoring around the corner to understand the behavior of the earthquake ssog Genesis as well as the positive faults so I think these all the are doing to develop a model but the the problem is that the the same earthquake occurring in the same Zone actually behave differently because it was most

Unpredictable in the behavior so there is no thumb rule that if particular Earth a particular magnitude is detected on particular fault the other Earth behave similarly so that was actually the challenges all right thank you so much sir for joining us and giving us that information and moving on India

Permanent representative to the United Nations ruchira kambo appraised the commendable work done by AKA Patra foundation in ensuring food security and nutrition to the millions of children Cambo was speaking at the United Nations session titled achievements in food security India strides towards sustainable development goals the aat foundation’s Relentless

State will likely take the center stage during the meet Indian leaders are leaving no stone unturned to campaign for the upcoming elections Union defense minister and BJP leader rajat sing will also hold a public meeting at Northern City of gaziabad in utar Pradesh today he will also attend the nomination filing event

Of Party’s candidate Atul gar BJP president JP nadda will address two public rallies in utarak today following his campaign he will meet with the Saints Society in the city of haridwar on Thursday thatas r comes a day after prime minister Narendra modi’s visit to the state BJP candidate and lower house

Speaker om bah will file his nominations today he’s contesting from Northwestern State of rajasthan’s parliamentary constituency Kota wndi also congress party leader Rahul Gandhi will file his nomination papers for viard lokha seat in southern state of Kerala today seeking reelection before filing off his nomin ntion the

Congress leader will hold a road show in his constituency where is Communist Party of India’s Annie Raja will also file nomination from the same seat today and India correspondent sunit sukumar joins us from bayad in Cara well sunit Rahul Gandhi got massive votes last time here what’s the trend showing

This time leachi definitely it is certain that Rahul Gandhi will have to face a tough competition this time because things are uh not as same as in 2019 uh this time like he is facing uh bgp state chief as his opponent and also like another candidate from ldf and

Another candidate from ldf and also like in 2019 things were very favorable to Rahul Gandhi uh which pav the way for a massive margin of more than uh four LS vs so uh but like uh like at that time like Congress was mainly focusing on one uh publicity it’s like Rahul Gandhi

Would be the next prime minister that was the main campaign of the Congress and that has resulted um you know like um s that have resulted in uh marking around 90 seals for the UDF party in Kerala in 2019 but things have changed recently because like w has been

Witnessing a lot of issues in the very recent years especially with the wild animal attack and also like they are there are some lack of infrastructure developments and also like broad connectivity like like why not is facing a lot of prises and U especially with the tourism and many other Industries

Are suffering so um according to the people in V like there there is no one to address all their issues in the parliament so definitely there is uh a kind of uh like things are not very favorable to Rahul Gandhi at this time all right also there are many minority

Ities in that area what do you think what role will they play during the elections well minori plays an important role in W election because um like here minority minority people is the majority here uh like in vat itself uh we can say like um Vach calik malapuram these are

The places which comes under why not consistency so definitely in these areas minority people like they plays a major role uh mostly Muslim people so minority issues always have impact in these areas for example like uh if you’re considering this um CAA and these kind of issues are being taken by the

Opposition parties like like ldf and Congress parties like they are campaigning against the BJP and you know like and so definitely uh these minority areas are in favor of Congress so uh like in the like since 2019 since 2009 onwards when the V consy was formed these minority people are um you know
