A strong undersea earthquake has shaken western Indonesia on Friday, but no injuries and damages were immediately reported ByThe Associated Press May 14, 2021, 7:29 AM • 1 min read JAKARTA, Indonesia -- A strong undersea earthquake shook western Indonesia on Friday, but no tsunami warning was issued and no damage was immediately reported.
Although California’s most dangerous tsunamis come from thousands of miles away, scientists say they’ve pinpointed a wave trigger that’s much closer to home. Earthquakes along strike-slip faults can cause potentially dangerous waves in certain contexts, a new model shows — and such faults do exist right off parts of the Golden State’s shores.
Two of the most destructive forces of nature — earthquakes and tsunamis — might actually be more of a threat than current estimates according to new research conducted by scientists at The University of New Mexico and the Nanyang Technological University published today (May 3, 2021) in Nature Geoscience.

United Nations Video: "Are we doing enough for the children?" Melissa Fleming interviews Yasmin Ali Haque - Awake at Night
World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus today (14 May) urged rich countries “to reconsider” vaccinating children and adolescents “and to instead donate vaccines to COVAX.”
During WHO’s regular briefing, Tedros said, “in low and lower-middle income countries, vaccine supply has not been enough to even immunise health and care workers, and hospitals are being inundated with people that need lifesaving care urgently.”
He noted that at present, only 0.3 percent of vaccine supply is going to low-income countries and said, “trickle down vaccination is not an effective strategy for fighting a deadly respiratory virus."
The WHO Director-General said, "India remains hugely concerning, with several states continuing to see a worrying number of cases, hospitalisations and deaths. WHO is responding and has shipped thousands of oxygen concentrators, tents for mobile field hospitals, masks and other medical supplies."
He said, "COVID-19 has already cost more than 3.3 million lives and we’re on track for the second year of this pandemic to be far more deadly than the first. Saving lives and livelihoods with a combination of public health measures and vaccination – not one or the other - is the only way out of the pandemic."
WHO’s COVID-19 Technical lead, Dr Maria Van Kerkhove, said, "WHO recommends masks, the use of masks as part of a comprehensive strategy towards controlling COVID - part of many different measures that are used to prevent the spread. In setting up policies to use masks as part of that strategy, it's very contextual. It's about how much virus is circulating around the country. It's about the amount of vaccines and vaccinations that are rolling out. It's about the variants of interest, the variants of concern that are circulating. We have to keep all of this in mind when thinking about how to adjust the policies associated with the use of masks. So, it is contextual. So, all of these considerations need to be taken into account."
For her part, WHO’s Chief Scientist, Dr Soumya Swaminathan, said amajority of vaccines approved till now achieve reductions in the need for hospitalization and deaths. However, she said, “these vaccines are all not 100 percent effective against preventing infection.”
The good news, she said, “is that they do prevent infection in the range of 70 to 80 percent” and added that “we know that they do protect against infection, but not completely. So, you can still get infected, you can have asymptomatic or mild illness or even moderate symptoms even after being vaccinated."

United Nations Video: Palestine/Israel: “Fighting must stop. It must stop immediately.” - UN Security Council Open Debate
Trimming in process - start at 00:08:45
Tune in LIVE for UN Security Council Open Debate on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question. Followed by media stakeouts.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Sunday (16 May) told the Security Council that current hostilities in Gaza and Israel are “utterly appalling,” adding, “Fighting must stop. It must stop immediately.”
Opening a virtual debate on the current situation in the Middle East, the UN chief appealed to all parties to heed his call. He said the United Nations was “actively engaging” all sides towards an immediate ceasefire.
Guterres said, “This senseless cycle of bloodshed, terror and destruction must stop immediately. All parties must respect international humanitarian law and international human rights law. The status quo at the holy sites must be upheld and respected.”
He reiterated that the United Nations remained “deeply committed” to working with Israelis and Palestinians and with our international and regional partners, including the Middle East Quartet, to realize a lasting and just peace.
Guterres added, “We are in contact with many relevant interlocuters and I again call on the parties to allow mediation efforts to intensify and succeed. The only way forward is to return to negotiations with the goal of a two-States solution, with two States living side-by-side in peace, security and mutual recognition, with Jerusalem as the capital of both states, based on relevant UN resolutions, international law and prior agreements.”
The Secretary-General noted that “the longer this cycle of violence continues, the more challenging it will be to reach that ultimate goal. Only a negotiated sustainable political solution will end, once and for all, these devastating cycles of violence and lead to a peaceful future for Palestinians and Israelis alike.”
Also speaking to the Council, UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Tor Wennesland said, “The United Nations is working tirelessly with all sides to restore calm. I reiterate the Secretary-General’s urgent call on Israel and Palestinian armed groups to take immediate and decisive steps to de-escalate the situation and prevent any further loss of life. Israelis and Palestinians have a legitimate right to safety and security. The violence we are witnessing now is unacceptable and unjustifiable.”
He added, “These cycles of violence will only stop with a political resolution of the conflict, including addressing the status of Jerusalem and other final status issues, with an end to the occupation, and the realization of a two-State solution on the basis of the 1967 lines, UN resolutions, international law and mutual agreements, with Jerusalem as capital of both Israel and Palestine.”
Wennesland reiterated his call to the members of the Middle East Quartet, key Arab and international partners, as well as to Israeli and Palestinian leadership, “to strengthen efforts to return to meaningful negotiations towards a viable two-State solution.”
Palestinian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Riad Al Malki, told the Council, “The international consensus you have all helped shape and defend is being destroyed in front of our very eyes. The alternative that Israel chooses is Apartheid. Yes Apartheid.”
He added, “one day soon, even this Council, will not be able to deny this reality. Act now to end the aggression and assault on our people, our homes, our land. Act now for freedom to prevail not Apartheid.”
Al Malki also said, “Our people will never surrender of forego their rights. Palestinian freedom is the only path to peace. Since peace is the responsibility of this Council. Your Council. Helping to achieve Palestinian freedom is its legal and moral duty.”
For his part, Israeli ambassador Gilad Erdan, told Council members, “You can unequivocally condemn Hamas’ indiscriminate and unprovoked attacks which threatens Israelis and Palestinians alike. You can choose to support Israel’s heroic efforts to defend itself and dismantle Hamas’ infrastructure of terror while doing everything to minimize the number of casualties on both sides.”
He also said, “You can choose to support a more peaceful future by demanding the demilitarization of the Gaza strip and insisting on an authority in Gaza that invest in the wellbeing of the people of Gaza rather than in the destruction of the State of Israel.”
Closing his remarks, Erdan said “Israel has already made its choice. We will take all steps necessary to defend our people. Now the choice is yours. The world is watching.”

'Israel-Palestine Conflict: Israel Target Hamas Leader as Gaza Faces DEADLIEST Airstrike Since Monday'
Israel’s military says it has targeted the home of a top Hamas political leader on Sunday.
Footage from the military shows an exploding bomb which it said hit the home of Yahya Sinwar.
The fate and whereabouts of Sinwar is still unclear following the blast.
Israeli airstrikes on Gaza City flattened three buildings and killed at least 33 people overnight, making it the deadliest single attack since heavy fighting broke out between Israel and Hamas militants nearly a week ago.
Rescuers raced to pull survivors and bodies from the rubble, while dozens are still missing.
The Gaza Health Ministry said 10 women and eight children were among those killed.
Palestinian militants fired a barage of rockets at Israel on Sunday afternoon following the strike.
At least 181 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza and 10 in Israel since Monday.
A UN Security Council meeting took place on Sunday, after warnings of a return to “full-scale war”.
The escalation of violence over the last seven days came after weeks of increasing Israeli-Palestinian tension in East Jerusalem, which lead to clashes at a holy site revered by both Muslims and Jews.

'Israel-Palestine Conflict: Israeli Airstrike DEMOLISHES Local Gaza Media Outlets'
An Israeli airstrike has destroyed a high-rise building housing several media outlets, offices and apartments, including offices belonging to Associated Press and Al Jazeera.
The Associated Press said it was hit nearly an hour after the Israeli military ordered people to evacuate.
In a statement, the military said the building housed assets belonging to Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that rules Gaza.
The last six days of violence in Gaza and Israel is the worst since 2014.
On Saturday, an Israeli airstrike on a refugee camp killed 10 people, while a Palestinian rocket killed a man in Israel.
The strike reportedly killed eight children and two women from an extended family, with only a six-month old baby surviving.
It was the deadliest single strike since the battle with Gaza's militant Hamas rulers erupted this week.
In Tel Aviv, footage shows civilians running for cover as air raid sirens warn of incoming rockets.
At least 139 people have been killed in Gaza and nine in Israel since Monday.
Pro-Palestinian protests have taken place across the world on Saturday, coinciding with al-Nakba, which marks the displacement of Palestinians in the Arab-Israeli war in 1948.

The use of messenger RNA technology (mRNA) in the creation of COVID-19 vaccines have made a considerable impact in the fight against the novel coronavirus, with the first doses being given to people less than a year after the pandemic was declared.
But mRNA technology is not new; not only is it used within our own cells to make proteins, but it has been used in testing against other diseases and viruses like cancer and ebola for well over a decade. And with the success of its use in COVID-19 vaccines, it could mean a breakthrough in how to use it going forward.
As Sean Previl explains, while it doesn't mean a vaccine for something like cancer is coming as quickly as it did for COVID-19, it could still have a big impact on the fight against other diseases and viruses going forward.

Global Video: Dogecoin: How the joke cryptocurrency became no laughing matter
It started as a joke. Dogecoin was created by a couple of engineers in 2013 as a parody of Bitcoin. And as a way to immortalize a dog gone cute Shiba Inu through Internet memes.
That joke caught on like wildfire with Reddit users propelling its value with it to eight million U.S. dollars within months.
Doge, as its known, has become a go to for tipping people online around the world for good deeds or an interesting idea. And the price of Dogecoin has soared during the pandemic, driven even higher by scores of young traders embracing meme culture.
Anne Gaviola has more.
