00:00Good evening, hello, and welcome to a new episode of your show, What's Happening.
00:06Today is Saturday, the 15th of June, 2026, 15-6-2026, and the 2nd of Rabi Al-Awal.
00:13There's something very important I want to warn you about.
00:17Honestly, this is one of the hardest clips I've seen, showing the first moments of the
00:23devastating earthquake in Indonesia, near or on the shores of Flores Island in southern
00:28Indonesia. You see the ground here, see how violently it's shaking, look at the trees,
00:37see how violently they're shaking. The whole island shook, Flores Island shook violently.
00:46Honestly, this is one of the hardest clips, and it's one of the most important clips that
00:53captured the first moments of the devastating earthquake in southern Indonesia, with a magnitude
00:58of 7.7 on the Richter scale. And in previous episodes, we showed footage of the tsunami that
01:05came in, how the seawater receded, and then the tsunami waves hit. They attacked several Indonesian
01:11cities, but the height was between half a meter and one meter as well. Let me show you this second
01:17clip that captures the first moments of the devastating earthquake. And how this house
01:24started to collapse and get destroyed in front of its owners, who managed to escape at the right
01:30time, but the house was severely damaged, and most likely is gone now. It is completely destroyed.
01:37After the large series of aftershocks that followed the initial devastating earthquake,
01:41I experienced moments of continuous tremors and initial shakes. Among them were aftershocks
01:47with earthquakes reaching a magnitude of 6 on the scale. I want to warn you about something
01:53today, please, today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. And let's say these days, our dear
02:00ones and loved ones in the Mediterranean countries, our families and loved ones in the Mediterranean
02:05countries, or even the Mediterranean Basin countries, or even the Pacific Basin, on the countries overlooking
02:14the Pacific Ocean. Why am I talking about the Pacific Ocean? Because the devastating earthquakes
02:23in Indonesia were 7.7 and 7, 7.7 in Flores and 7 in the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Also,
02:32the Mediterranean witnessed a strong earthquake in Spain, measuring 5.2 on the Richter scale,
02:38which hit Granada, Spain just minutes after the devastating earthquake in Indonesia. We saw
02:44a very strong earthquake hit Spain in Europe and the Mediterranean. Do not swim in the Mediterranean
02:53Sea. Do not swim on the coasts of the Red Sea. And do not swim on the coasts of the
03:00Pacific Ocean.
03:02No matter where you are or in which country, the earthquakes cause instability. And in addition
03:10to that, the strong earthquakes in Indonesia also cause even when it hits the Mediterranean
03:16Sea, the seawater itself becomes a problem. The waves become higher. Professor Doctora, even
03:24if the earthquake is above 5, even if it doesn't produce a tsunami, it can still pull a large amount
03:30of seawater out and hurl it back. The waves will still be high after the earthquake. So warning,
03:36warning, please, let's not swim for the next two days. Across all coasts on the Mediterranean
03:44Sea, whether in Arab or European countries, and all coasts on the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific,
03:52I mean, if you're watching me, from countries in the Pacific region, Japan, the Philippines,
03:57Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan as well. You all need to try to stay away,
04:07completely avoid going to the sea. Please, these days, this is a very important warning. I
04:13had to do it. I was with you. We are together. Ahmad Al-Daram, the host of the show, What's
04:18Happening? Welcome.
