Kilauea (Hawai'i): The new eruption of the world's most active volcano continues with no significant change, but at breathtaking speed as the new lava lake grows and is about to inundate its vents.

According to the USGS' Hawaiian volcano observatory (HVO), the lava lake 176 m (577 ft) deep at 7 am local time this morning. The lake inside Halema'uma'u crater is being fed by two vents on the north and northwest sides of the crater. The fresh magma rising to the surface is carrying with it a lot of SO2 gas, being released into the atmosphere as a dense plume.

Published: Dec 25, 2020

Japan on Friday invited Germany's warship for a naval drill to counter China's growing regional influence in the Indo-Pacific region.

In talks between Japanese Defence Minister Nobuo Kishi and his German counterpart, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, Kishi hoped that a German warship would hold joint exercises with Japan`s Self-Defense Forces in 2021.

Japanese Defence Minister stressed told Germany that China is "strengthening its attempts to unilaterally change the status quo with force in the background."

The communist giant has also taken over islands and reefs, often violating the exclusive economic zones (EEZ) of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) by sending fishing trawlers, research and exploration vessels and even Coast Guard ships.
