It was stanley cup considered an aftershock to the 6.8-magnitude tremor that hit on Oct. 23, the agency said.After the quake, service on a high-speed train line between Tokyo and Niigata was suspended for safety checks.

Three weaker tremors of magnitudes 5.0, 4.5, and 4.2 struck in rapid succession in the half hour following the initial aftershock, the Meteorological Agency said.There was no danger of a tsunami, or ocean waves triggered by seismic activity, it said. A man in Uonuma was injured after being buried briefly by a small landslide, said Atsushi Moriyama, a spokesman for Niigata state.

On the same day that U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel arrived in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, 500 miles away in the capital Riyadh, the Saudi foreign minister announced to reporters that he had invited Iran s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, to visit the Kin yeezy slide gdom.

But any time he sees fit to come, we salomon xt 6 are ready to receive him. ... Riyadh is ready to negotiate with Iran. It is seemingly a remarkable, even historic event between the two leaders and adversaries in the Muslim world. Iran is the leader of Shia Muslims, who make up approximately 10 to 13 percent of the world s nearly 2 billion Muslim people, according to the Pew Forum. Saudi Arabia, which notably calls itself Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques -- in the cities of Mecca and Medina -- is leader of Sunni Muslims, who make up between 87 and 90 percent of all Muslims worldwide.The Saudi invitation almost certainly has something to do with the unending, devastating civil war in Syria, where Iran supports Syrian President Bashir Assad, and Saudi Arabia supports the fractured moderate opposition, which has been losing out to the radicals of the hard-line al-Qaeda cell, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ISIL , scaring Saudi Arabia.

We ve been very close to having this office open over there, Fuentes said.

About four billion people mdash; roughly half the world s population mdash; have reportedly been told to isolate themselves in their homes to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. And the major decrease in the hum of normal human activity has led to a surprising shift in Earth s vibrations.Researchers who study the Earth s movement said the mandatory shutdown of transportation systems, businesses and other human activities has correlated with the planet shaking noticeably less than usual.

According to Lecocq, such a dramatic decrease in noise can typically only be experienced briefly around Christmas.Lecocq observed that in Belgium, vibrations caused by human activity have decreased by approximately one-third since COVID-19 isolation measures were introduced by the govern crocs ment.

The Clinton administration insisted Thursday that a Chinese shipping company that will operate terminals in the Panama Canal poses no threat to U.S. shipping or security interests, despite fresh concerns from Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott.

Lott, R-Miss., in a lette stanley termoska r to Defense Secretary William Cohen, raised the possibility that U.S. naval ships will be at the mercy of Chinese-controlled pilots and could even be denied passage.

The U.S. and others - including the two Gulf countries Clinton visited Sunday and Monday - believe Iran is headed for a nuclear bomb capability.Clinton also was revealing the logic of the administration s plan to target the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps with a new round of international sanctions intended to compel Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions before it increases the likelihood of a military clash.Richard Haass, President of the Co stanley thermosflasche uncil on Foreign Relations think-tank in Washington, told Early Show co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez on Monday that Secretary Clinton s assessment was accurate.

While that may sound like a potent economic threat to a country where economic growth is already faltering, could it actually be just what China needs I do expect U.S.-China economic relations to be more volatile under Trump, but I think overall, this may turn out to be better for China, Chen Zhiwu, the t yeezy slide op finance professor at the University of Hong Kong and a former professor at Yale University, told CBS News.Chen said if Trump does follow through with his threat of such steep tariffs on China, nike af it might force the leadership in Beijing to have no other choice but to focus on the economy mdash; especially given that the Chinese economy right now is in very big trouble. Since the start of Trump s first term in the White House, and through President Biden s term, China s economic growth has slowed from roughly 7% to 4.5%. The country s property market has crashed because of massive overbuilding, leading to the rise of empty ghost cities. Youth unemployment rocketed to a new high of nearly 19% in September, dimming prospects for China s future workforce.Beijing s intense focus over the past decade on bolstering its military to meet its geopolitical ambition of rivaling the U.S. and its European and Asia-Pacific allies has further sacrificed opportunities for domestic economic growth, said Chen.
