00:00good evening welcome to a new episode of your show what's happening
00:05today is saturday september 26 2026 and also the 15th of rabbi ala here which means it's the middle
00:13of the lunar month the middle of the hijri month a few hours ago we were among the first channels
00:20to report about the earthquake it was very strong and struck after midnight meaning it hit at dawn
00:28or so on saturday morning with a magnitude of 6.6 on the richter scale it struck the pacific ocean
00:39near or east of the island or islands of new caledonia god willing i'll show you a picture
00:46of this very strong earthquake the good news is that we were expecting the tsunami we said if the
00:52earthquake's magnitude increased by the way the initial magnitude was seven on the richter scale
00:58then it was downgraded to 6.6 on the richter scale the good news is thank god no waves form
01:08no tsunami formed in the pacific ocean but according to what i've been following over the past few hours
01:16i discovered a large number of earthquakes and aftershocks of course and this is normal but it's
01:23clear that the number of strong aftershocks was very noticeable
01:30i mean during these past hours there were more than 10 aftershocks that hit the same place but their
01:38strength was more than five on the richter scale
01:42usually earthquakes and tremors are strong when there's a major earthquake but it's not usual to
01:51have 10 aftershocks each stronger than five on the richter scale and also about 15 more that are
01:57stronger than four on the richter scale that's a large number of strong aftershocks so what could happen
02:05by the way this was a very strong earthquake and we mentioned the approximate time it happened if i want
02:13to say in the arab world in europe it was between 12 30 a.m and 1 30 a.m
02:23some people might have felt this earthquake some people are very sensitive and anyone living anywhere
02:29in the world around the time of this very strong earthquake you might have felt it because there were
02:35very large seismic waves released by the earthquake it's like when you go to a lake and throw a stone
02:42into the lake circles form it's the same thing a very strong or destructive earthquake or any earthquake
02:51or tremor releases seismic waves but these waves are released inside the earth so these waves as soon
02:58as they start reach many places around the world so don't be surprised if you're living
03:05anywhere in the world that you feel light tremors or you feel a slight shape
03:12this is because of the very strong earthquake this is normal but as we said given the large number
03:18of aftershocks that are stronger than five this presents another challenge for us now during the coming
03:24hours that means the area is clearly very seemingly active there's a lot of seismic pressure in the pacific
03:33ocean so the period of danger isn't over yet as long as there is clear seismic activity in this region
03:40so
03:40we might be facing another devastating earthquake in the pacific ocean or strong and very strong
03:46earthquakes in different parts of the world so i expect this in the next 24 24 or 48 hours
03:55let's see let's be careful because we might witness new devastating strong or very strong
04:02earthquakes in different countries around the world that's all for today i was with you
