Hello, and thanks for tuning in to NHK

0:13

Newsline and Yoshiyogaswara.

0:17

Indonesian crews are fighting against

0:19

time. Now well over a day

0:21

since the magnitude five point six quake,

0:24

Rock West Java province at

0:26

least one hundred and fifty people

0:28

remain missing, and the death

0:30

toll keeps rising. It's now at

0:33

over two hundred and sixty and

0:35

many of those killed our children. Rescuers

0:39

are fighting to reach survivors. They're

0:42

consistently reminded of the dangers

0:44

by ongoing aftershocks. Hospitals

0:47

have overflowed. Officials say the

0:50

wounded now total more than a

0:52

thousand. The Indonesian

0:54

leader visited the area Tuesday to

0:56

promise help and offer support

0:58

to rescuers.

1:00

My

1:02

instruction is to prioritize rescuing

1:05

and evacuating victims that

1:08

are still trapped under the rubble

1:10

first.

1:15

Many escaped the quake's

1:18

aftermath with their lives but

1:20

little else. They're now in desperate

1:22

need of water and other essentials. and

HK World's Ferdinand Carsten Reports.

1:28

Local residents are

1:30

sheltering in pants. They build them sales,

1:32

help from the government on volunteers has

1:35

not yet arrived. Once the revver

1:37

told us, she needed food and

1:39

blankets. This

1:41

area was hit hard by landslides. Buildings

1:44

and businesses were covered. Some

1:47

three thousand two hundred houses were damaged

1:49

during or after the earthquake. The

1:52

Malaysian government says the full impact

1:54

is still being calculated. People

1:57

are believed to be tracked. Such

1:59

and rescue teams are trying to reach them.

2:01

The area's

2:03

main road connection was cut, preventing

2:05

relief supplies from getting through. The

2:08

road is now open again, but supplies

2:10

are not yet flowing adequately. Authorities

2:14

say there have been more than one hundred

2:16

after jokes. We felt too

2:18

within about thirty minutes. It

2:20

is clear to see how anxious people

2:22

here are that relief efforts

2:25

are step up.

2:28

That

2:28

was Ferdinand Carsten from

2:30

an evacuation center The

2:32

Indonesian president says the government

2:35

will provide compensation to the victims

2:37

and their families, but he provided

2:39

no details on when the

2:41

aid would arrive.

2:44

After months of intense fighting, the

2:46

World Health Organization says people

2:48

in Ukraine are facing a new and

2:51

deadly threat a winter

2:53

without heat,

2:55

the devastating energy crisis,

2:57

the deepening mental health emergency. constraints

3:00

on humanitarian access

3:03

and the risk of viral infections

3:05

will make this winter a formidable

3:08

test for the Ukraine health system. and

3:10

Ukraine people. Kluge

3:13

says half of Ukraine's

3:15

energy infrastructure is damaged

3:17

or destroyed. that's straining

3:19

its ability to provide healthcare with

3:21

hundreds of facilities now knocked

3:24

off the grid. This is was

3:26

already devastated by direct

3:28

assaults. The WHO says

3:30

there have been about seven hundred attacks

3:33

son hospitals and medical centers

3:35

since the invasion began. Queshay

3:38

calls that a breach of international humanitarian

3:40

law and the rules of war. Ukrainian

3:44

president Volodymyr Zelensky also

3:46

condemns the attacks, telling

3:48

NATO's parliamentary assembly they're

3:51

part of a policy of genocide.

3:54

We did kill electricity, water,

3:57

and the heat supply and winter. And

3:59

this is

3:59

what is goal. What's the strategy? to put

4:02

the lives of millions of people in danger.

4:05

Zelensky called on NATO

4:07

members to support his peace

4:09

plan and keep up sanctions

4:12

against Russia. The

4:15

United Nations Security Council

4:17

has discussed North Korea's latest

4:19

launch of an intercontinental ballistic

4:21

missile. The US argues

4:23

the weapon, which is capable capable

4:26

of reaching all of North America, poses

4:29

a new threat, but diplomats

4:31

are struggling to respond with one

4:33

voice. Members

4:36

say the missile could be North Korea's

4:38

largest and most powerful yet.

4:40

They gathered for an emergency meeting

4:43

to figure out how to react.

4:46

For too long, the DPRK has

4:48

acted with impunity. It has

4:50

conducted escalatory and

4:52

destabilizing ballistic missile launches

4:54

without fear of a response or

4:57

reprisal from this council.

5:00

Thomas

5:00

Greenfield criticized diplomats

5:02

from China and Russia of

5:05

enabling and emboldening the

5:07

North Koreans. She says their

5:09

blatant obstructionism puts

5:11

the entire world at risk.

5:14

U. S.

5:16

Should take the initiative, show

5:19

sincerity, put forward

5:20

realistic and physical

5:23

proposals respond positively

5:25

to the legitimate concerns

5:27

of the DBRK. Jiang

5:30

says other countries should

5:32

stop military exercises around the

5:34

Korean peninsula and ease

5:36

sanctions against the North. The

5:39

South Korean and Japanese ambassadors

5:41

were invited to take part in the meeting.

5:44

They joined their American allies in

5:46

calling on member states to come up with a

5:48

unified message. Council

5:50

members have met ten times this

5:52

year alone to discuss North Korea,

5:55

They've called on officials there to

5:57

engage in diplomacy without

5:59

response. The

6:01

meeting hasn't gone down well in

6:03

Pyongyang. leader Kim Jong Un's

6:05

younger sister accuses the security

6:08

council of double standards and

6:10

describes the US as a

6:12

barking dog seized with

6:14

fear. In a

6:16

statement, Kim Yo Jong says

6:18

the UNSC has turned a blind

6:21

eye to recent US South Korea

6:23

joint military drills. She

6:25

accuses Washington of driving the situation

6:27

on the peninsula to a new phase

6:30

of crisis. and she

6:32

insists the US cannot deprive

6:34

the North of its right to

6:36

self defense.

6:45

In South Korea, families of the

6:47

victims of a Halloween crowd crush

6:49

in Seoul have lashed out at

6:51

the police for failing to prevent

6:53

the tragedy. The

BREATHED SPOKE AT A NOOSE CONFERENCE

6:58

FOR THE FIRST TIME. ONE

7:00

MOTHER WHO LOST HER SON SAID

7:02

THE WHOLE FAMILY IS SUFFERING SO MUCH

7:04

they want to die. The

7:07

accident was

7:09

clearly a man made disaster and

7:12

the case of homicide. as

7:14

police and other authorities failed

7:16

to take proper measures.

7:20

The crush in the capital's Itaewon

7:22

district in late October left

7:25

one hundred and fifty eight people dead

7:27

while another one hundred and ninety six were

7:29

injured. Local media say

7:31

police and the fire department received

7:34

multiple calls hours before

7:36

the disaster warning that

7:38

some people could be crushed to death,

7:40

but the authorities reportedly

7:43

took no action. A

7:45

special team from the National Police Agency

7:47

is investigating how the police

7:49

in charge and the senior municipal

7:51

officials responded to

7:53

the accident. Staying

7:57

with South Korea, president Yoon Song

7:59

Yong has set himself at odds

8:01

with the nation's media by

8:03

suspending his routine question

8:05

and answer sessions with reporters known

8:08

as doorsteping. The

8:11

move announced by the presidential office

8:13

on Monday came in the wake of

8:15

Yun referring to reports by

8:17

South Korean broadcaster, MB

8:19

see as fake news

8:21

during door stepping on Friday. That

8:24

comment led to one of his aides

8:26

getting into a shouting match with an

8:28

NBC reporter. The face

8:30

to face morning Q and A sessions have been

8:32

a regular fixture since UN took

8:34

office in May. The

8:36

conflict with the media first emerged when

8:39

Yun's office barred

8:41

reporters from NBC from boarding

8:43

the presidential plane when

8:45

he embarked on a tour of Southeast

8:47

Asia earlier this month. The

8:49

move was a response to

8:51

an NBC report that

8:53

Yun used vulgar language

8:55

when referring to US lawmakers during

8:57

his trip to New York in

8:59

September. The

9:01

journalist's association of Korea

9:03

issued a statement on Monday,

9:05

condemning the suspension of door

9:07

stepping as intense retaliation

9:10

against journalism reflecting

9:12

opposing views. The association

9:14

accused Yun of scapeboarding

9:16

the NBC to

9:18

tame the news media as

9:21

a

9:21

whole. Japan

9:24

has approved use of a pill. Doctors

9:26

who treat COVID-nineteen have been

9:29

waiting for. They can

9:31

prescribe it to anyone no matter

9:33

how mild their symptoms. Schiranagi's

9:36

Experts approved the emergency

9:38

authorization of Schiranagi's oral

9:41

drug, Zukova, And so, I

9:43

have just approved it in my

9:45

capacity as minister of health, labor,

9:47

and welfare. The ministry's

9:49

expert panel looked at

9:51

clinical data. They found evidence

9:53

the domestically developed pill

9:55

is effective against fever

9:57

and other COVID symptoms.

9:58

There are

9:59

two other oral medications currently

10:02

approved for mild cases, both

10:04

were developed in the US and

10:06

are intended only for patients

10:08

that high risk of developing severe

10:11

symptoms. Doctors say it's

10:13

difficult to predict who

10:15

COVID will hit hard They

10:17

wanted a drug they could prescribe more

10:19

broadly.

10:20

I believe the drug will

10:22

be available for anyone who has been diagnosed

10:24

with COVID-nineteen aged

10:27

twelve to sixty nine.

10:30

Health officials plan to distribute

10:32

the drug nationwide with hospitals

10:35

getting enough doses for one

10:37

million patients. Japan

10:39

is now facing an eighth wave.

10:41

It's more than one hundred twenty thousand

10:43

infections on Tuesday, the

10:45

eighteenth straight day of week on

10:47

week increases. Three

10:50

northern prefectures confirmed record

10:52

case counts.

10:56

Snow is battering Germany as cold

10:58

air air groups parts of Europe. Our

11:00

meteorologist, Sakomori, has the

11:02

details in world weather.

11:04

Oh, there after experiencing

11:07

unusually warm October and

11:09

early November, people in Germany are

11:11

experiencing a taste of a winter. Take a

11:13

look at this footage. People

11:16

in southern Germany woke up to

11:18

snow on Monday. If you've came

11:20

centimeters of fresh snow fell over the

11:22

mountainous locations, Temperatures

11:25

dropped suddenly from ten degrees

11:27

Celsius to minus ten degrees in

11:29

one day in some areas, and

11:31

at Canburg Airport. The first

11:33

aircraft of the day had to be

11:35

deiced, and quarter conditions

11:37

will finally shift eastward.

11:39

so that will affect Moscow as well as Kiev

11:41

and temperatures are going to be much lower than

11:43

normal in some places. Meanwhile, we have

11:45

a low pressure them affecting the Balkan

11:48

peninsula in Italy once again. People across

11:50

the western Balkan peninsula are

11:52

dealing with the aftermath of deadly floods

11:54

that occurred during the weekend, but more

11:56

rain is on the menu. Mountains

11:58

like Slovenia could see nearly forty

11:59

centimeters of snow. Kiev

12:02

saw the first snowfall of the

12:04

season last week. temperatures

12:06

will stay below the freezing

12:08

point on Wednesday, but finally slowly

12:11

warping up as we go into Thursday.

12:13

Moscow will be seen temperatures dropping

12:15

into minus two degrees later this

12:17

week. Meanwhile, this is your

12:19

holiday forecast crownberry,

12:22

Maryland could see sunny weather on your

12:24

Thanksgiving Day, but pumpkin,

12:27

Texas could see rainy weather. Turkey,

12:29

Ohio will see sunny weather, Same goes

12:31

for homes in California. And

12:33

across Japan, it's a national

12:35

holiday on Wednesday, but a

12:37

little pressure system of passing to the

12:39

south of Japan that will send

12:41

ample moisture to the southern half of Japan

12:43

in parts of the Tokyo region. Temperatures

12:45

are going to be much colder than normal

12:47

in Tokyo. Only eleven That's

12:49

more like December and it's nine

12:52

degrees different compared to what we experienced

12:54

on Tuesday. That if a World

12:56

Cup is taking place in Doha,

12:58

Japan will have a match against Germany

13:01

on Wednesday whether it's going to be as

13:03

follows into Friday. That's it for

13:05

me.

13:05

Stay safe.

13:15

he

13:37

As the weather gets colder here

13:39

in Japan, and many people like to go to

13:41

a hot spring to warm up,

13:44

but humans aren't the only ones

13:46

enjoying a soak. Easter,

13:49

Shaboten Zoo in Central Japan

13:51

is providing a hot bath for

13:53

their fifteen Kami bottles.

13:55

The custom began when keepers

13:57

spotted some sing in a puddle of

13:59

hot water that was meant to be

14:01

used to clean their enclosure. The

14:04

animal is the world's largest rodent

14:06

and native two tropical

14:08

regions of South America. Ten

14:11

babies were born this year between August

14:13

and October. They took their

14:15

first bath this week. filled with

14:17

a citrus fruit whose scent is

14:19

set to have a relaxing

14:21

effect.

14:22

hi

14:25

hi my name is business

14:29

Keepers

14:29

say sometimes all the Capibras

14:32

share the bath. But at

14:34

other times, just one of them

14:36

enjoys a solitary soak.

14:41

and that's all for this edition of NHK

14:43

Newsyne. I'm Yoshi Gazboa in

14:45

Tokyo. Thanks for tuning in.
