00:00The death toll in Japan's earthquake has risen to 32 days after a powerful 7.1 magnitude tremor struck the
00:07southwestern prefecture of Kumamoto.
00:10Search and rescue operations are continuing as authorities race against the clock in hopes of finding as many people as
00:17possible as a vital 72-hour window for first response closes in.
00:22Authorities have not disclosed the exact number of those reported missing, but local media outlets have reported that dozens remain
00:28unaccounted for.
00:30More than two dozen people trapped underneath the rubble have so far been rescued from the worst-hit areas.
00:36The Aeon Mall, which was bustling with thousands of people at the time of the quake, sustained the most serious
00:42damage after its second floor collapsed following an explosion shortly after the quake.
00:47Many were also trapped under the debris in Yatsushiro, where a chimney collapsed at a Nippon paper factory, killing at
00:55least eight people.
00:56Local officials say some homes were flattened and others were damaged in the aftermath of the quake, forcing around 10
01:02,000 people to evacuate and relocate to the 400 shelters set up by the government.
01:07The quake, the largest to hit Kumamoto in a decade, also cut power to tens of thousands of homes, which
01:14authorities say are slowly powering back on.
01:18The quake, the largest to hit Kumamoto in a decade, is a very hard one's right to use from the
01:20super model.
