Disaster officials in the Philippines say eight people have been killed after a series of earthquakes rocked the northern islands of the country on Saturday.
The US Geological Survey says a magnitude-5.4 quake occurred near the Batanes islands shortly after 4 a.m. local time, followed by a tremor of magnitude 5.9 about three hours later.
Authorities say there have been reports that the quakes caused houses to collapse, leaving at least eight people dead and about 60 others injured on the island of Itbayat, in the northernmost part of the Batanes.
The Philippine government says it will use military transport aircraft to fly rescue teams and relief supplies to the site.
But rescue efforts have reportedly been hampered by a third quake measuring magnitude 5.7, which struck later Saturday.
Itbayat lies between the northern island of Luzon, where the capital, Manila, is located, and Taiwan. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of about 2,800.
Key words : Trump latest missile
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20190728_14/
US President Donald Trump says he was not at all troubled by North Korea's latest missile launch.
North Korea launched two of a new kind of short-range ballistic missile on Thursday. Pyongyang said the launch was a warning to South Korea.
Speaking to reporters at the White House on Friday, Trump said the missiles fired by the North were short-range and many countries have those missiles.
He said North Korean leader Kim Jong Un did not say it was a warning to the United States.
He said his relationship with Kim is very good and he'll see what happens.
Trump appeared to be eager to emphasize that the launch will not harm what he calls a good relationship with Kim.
He also appeared to be trying to urge the North to engage in working-level talks on denuclearization, which was agreed at his third summit with Kim, which took place last month.

Japan's Defense Ministry says two projectiles launched by North Korea on Thursday had trajectories that were "irregular" when compared to conventional ballistic missiles.
North Korea says leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the firing of "a new type of tactical guided weapon."
He reportedly expressed satisfaction about its capabilities, saying it can fly at low altitudes and is difficult to intercept.
Japanese defense officials acknowledged that a projectile of this kind could reach Japan and may be difficult to intercept.
South Korean Defense Ministry officials say the projectiles flew about 600 kilometers, based on a joint analysis with the US military.
Key words : UK agreed

A British government spokesperson says newly inaugurated Prime Minister Boris Johnson has agreed with US President Donald Trump to start negotiating a free trade agreement as soon as possible after Britain leaves the European Union.
The two leaders spoke by phone on Friday.
The Downing Street spokesperson said Johnson and Trump agreed that "Brexit offers an unparalleled opportunity to strengthen the economic partnership between the UK and the United States."
The spokesperson said the two leaders "also discussed current tensions with Iran and the need to work together and with partners to address its destabilizing behavior in the Gulf."
After the phone conversation, Trump told reporters at the White House that he congratulated Johnson on his new role. Trump said Johnson is "all set to go" and added "he has what it takes."
Trump said trade between the two countries had been impeded by Britain's relationship with the EU. He said they expect to do much more business after Brexit and claimed trade could increase as much as five times above current levels.
Key words : lawmakers from Japan
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20190728_12/
Lawmakers from Japan, the United States and South Korea met for annual talks in Washington on Friday. They agreed that Japanese and South Korean politicians will work to call on their governments to ease tensions between the two countries.
Seventeen lawmakers and other people took part in the meeting, which lasted for about three hours. Increased tensions between Japan and South Korea over the wartime labor issue and Japan's export control were the main topics on the agenda.
South Korea's delegation reportedly said Japan's tighter screening of exports for the South Korean market may be in retaliation to an ongoing dispute over wartime labor.
Japanese delegates reportedly responded that the measure is unrelated to the issue. They said an export control on materials for semiconductors and other items, including security-related resources, have been a serious issue over several years.
US lawmakers are said to have stressed the importance of strengthening trilateral cooperation in order to resolve challenges facing the free world.
Lawmakers from Japan and South Korea also agreed to explore what their parliaments can do to ease the bilateral tensions.
Japan's former minister in charge of declining birthrate measures, Kuniko Inoguchi, told NHK that countries must uphold the non-proliferation of dangerous materials as a common security interest for the international community.
She added that there is no need for discord over the matter, and expressed hope that the meeting will help to improve ties between Japan and South Korea.
Former South Korean National Assembly Speaker Chung Sye-kyun said he wants to soon hold dialogue with Japan to resolve pending issues, saying the two governments have not held sufficient talks over the matters. He said such dialogue should facilitate peace and prosperity not only for Japan and South Korea, but also for the United States and the whole of East Asia.
