Tsunamis News: How do tsunamis form? - DW (English)
Although rare, Tsunamis can be very destructive. They are usually caused by earthquakes along tectonic plates under the ocean. This sudden underwater movement causes a large displacement of water, sending waves across the ocean. These are often small, but move at high speeds — up to 500 miles (800 kilometers) per hour.

Tsunamis News: Sea level rise could make tsunamis more destructive. Is Hawaiʻi prepared? - Hawaiipublicradio
When a giant earthquake near the Aleutian Islands in Alaska triggered a tsunami on April 1, 1946, Hawaiʻi was woefully unprepared. In less than five hours, a massive wave crossed the Pacific and hit the Hawaiian Islands.

Tsunamis News: Tsunami? In La Conner? Don't rule it out - La Conner Weekly News
Tsunami is a Japanese word for what used to be more appropriately called a “tidal wave.” In movies and television dramas, tsunamis are portrayed as monster ocean waves cresting over the likes of New York City or Los Angeles. A bit misleading to say the least.

Play Video: Haiti, Syria, Occupied Palestinian Territory & other topics - Daily Press Briefing (25 April 2024)

Noon briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: -Haiti -Syria -Occupied Palestinian Territory -Democratic Republic of the Congo -Sudan -Ukraine -Social Media and Girls -International Days HAITI We welcome the official installation of the Transitional Presidential Council that took place in Port-au-Prince today. We call on the new authorities and all stakeholders to expedite the full implementation of the transitional governance arrangements. We have taken note of Ariel Henry’s letter - dated yesterday, in which he is resigning as Prime Minister, as well as the publication in the official gazette announcing that Finance Minister Michel Patrick Boisvert is now the interim Prime Minister. The Secretary-General reiterates his call for the swift deployment of the Multinational Security Support mission to Haiti to support the Haitian National Police in addressing the dire security situation. The Secretary-General appeals to all Member States to ensure the Multinational Security Support mission receives the financial and logistical support it needs to succeed. SYRIA This morning, Geir Pedersen, the Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Syria, briefed Security Council members. While addressing other vital issues, Mr. Pedersen underscored that renewing the Constitutional Committee is essential and he remains open to any alternative venue to Geneva that attracts the consensus of both the Syrian parties and the host. Meanwhile, Mr. Pedersen continues to appeal for sessions to resume in Geneva as a bridging option. For his part, Ramesh Rajasingham, the Director of the Coordination Division at OCHA, told Council members that humanitarian needs in Syria are already at record levels. He added that the cross-border operation from Türkiye continues to enable vital aid to enter north-west Syria, adding that we are currently engaging with the Government of Syria for the use of the Bab al-Salam and Al Ra’i crossings beyond 13 May – which would make a difference in the lives of so many people who are in need of humanitarian assistance. And just to flag that later today, at 3:00 pm, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, our friend, Mr. Volker Türk, will brief the General Assembly on the implementation of the GA resolution that establishes the Independent Institution on Missing Persons in Syria. The mandate of the Institution is to clarify the fate and whereabouts of all missing persons in Syria and, in relation to that, to support all victims, including survivors and family members. The High Commissioner’s statement will be available to you under embargo about an hour before his briefing gets underway.

Play Video: Trinidad & Tobago Fights Against Plastic Pollution | United Nations

Small Island Developing States are particularly vulnerable to plastic pollution. As well as coping with a tsunami of waste washes up on their beaches every day, these countries – highly dependent on imports – generate a large amount of plastic waste of their own, and often struggle to manage it. Plastic pollution has a detrimental effect on the health and livelihoods of people living in small island states, which often lack the means to effectively treat and process it. It’s not great for the economy either: tourists don’t want to hang out on dirty beaches, and marine litter can damage fishing stocks. Conor Lennon from UN News went to Trinidad & Tobago to see how the UN is working with civil society and the government to not only deal with the waste, but also find a way to reuse it, and take it out of the environment.

In an interview with UN News’s Ezzat El-Ferri, the United Nations Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza, Sigrid Kaag, noted that while the Palestinians in Gaza have been very resilient, they need significant support to rebuild their lives. She noted her awareness that the situation in Gaza is intrinsically tied to progress on the political front and the two-state solution. On Wednesday (April 24), the UN World Food Programme (WFP) warned that some people in Gaza have run out of food and are now dying of hunger. The alert came after nearly seven months of Israeli bombardment, sparked by Hamas-led terror attacks on southern Israel last October.

The United Nations Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza, Sigrid Kaag, said rebuilding the Gaza Strip is “a very tall order”, but the international community has “the duty and responsibility” to work towards early recovery. In an interview with UN News’s Ezzat El-Ferri, Ms. Kaag noted that while the Palestinians in Gaza have been very resilient, they need significant support to rebuild their lives. Noting her awareness that the situation in Gaza is intrinsically tied to progress on the political front and the two-state solution, “we cannot ask civilians to wait (...). People have suffered a lot”, she said. In her forth visit to the Gaza Strip just a few days ago, the UN diplomat said she was “humbled and moved by all the different stories of suffering”. Still, she said she was inspired by the commitment of Palestinian non-governmental organization (NGOs) working on the ground. Ms. Kaag insisted that, alongside the Palestinian Authority, Palestinian civil society needs to be “very much be on the forefront” and stressed the need to cultivate and nurture their “immense courage and determination”.

People can easily make fake election-related images with artificial intelligence tools, despite rules designed to prevent such content. Politicians including US President Joe Biden and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan have found themselves victims of deepfakes. These are fake images or audio recordings generated by AI and have spread rapidly across social media. AI threatens to "supercharge" disinformation and incite violence at elections, the US deputy attorney general has warned. One of the so-called "godfathers" of AI Yoshua Bengio said he would have prioritised safety over usefulness had he realised the pace at which it would evolve.

Play Video: US Supreme Court debates Trump immunity claim | BBC News

The US Supreme Court has heard pointed arguments on whether a former president is immune from criminal prosecution over acts carried out while in office. Donald Trump, who is facing dozens of criminal charges across four cases, claims he - and all presidents - should have presidential immunity. Trump's trial on charges he tried to overturn the 2020 election is on hold while the Supreme Court considers his immunity claim. It may take several weeks to receive the Justices' decision, which will likely set a precedent for future US presidents.

The disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction has been overturned by New York's top court, on the basis that he did not receive a fair trial. The New York Court of Appeals found that prosecutors were allowed to call witnesses whose accusations were not part of the trial. The ruling said that meant he was tried on past behaviour and not solely on the crimes he was charged with. Weinstein, who is now 72, will remain in prison for a separate conviction for rape. He denies the allegations from Ashley Judd. The New York court reached its decision on Thursday.

'Former Post Office Executive Tells Inquiry She’s ‘Truly Sorry’' Angela van den Bogerd, a former senior director at the Post Office, arrived at the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry on Thursday morning. She began with an apology on the first of her two days of giving evidence, telling the inquiry she was "truly, truly sorry" for the "devastation" caused to wrongly convicted sub-postmasters and their families. Errors in the Post Office's Horizon IT system meant money appeared to be missing from many branch accounts when, in fact, it was not. As a result, more than 700 sub-postmasters were handed criminal convictions between 1999 and 2015. #news #uk #postoffice Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/ODNsubs TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ondemandnews Twitter: https://twitter.com/ODN Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ODN/ If you wish to purchase any of our clips for commercial use, please visit: http://www.itnproductions.co.uk/news/
