米国の若者、香港の水の価格に「衝撃」　高級ホテルに宿泊　円安の影響を受ける [東京都]：朝日新聞デジタル

In a recent development, the aftermath of the Noto Peninsula earthquake, which occurred four months ago, has been captured through aerial footage for comparison. The earthquake caused significant damage, including a large-scale fire that destroyed around 240 buildings in the Kawaimachi district of Wajima City. The aerial footage shows the charred remains of buildings and vehicles in the area.

The footage also highlights the slow progress of public-funded demolition in the affected areas. Only a small fraction of the estimated 4.8 million buildings that were completely destroyed have been demolished, with just 88 buildings completed so far. This slow progress has raised concerns about meeting the target deadline for completion.

Meanwhile, in the financial markets, the Japanese yen experienced another round of depreciation against the US dollar, reaching the 157 yen level in the New York foreign exchange market. This depreciation was attributed to the release of economic indicators in the US indicating strong inflation, leading to a rise in long-term interest rates and a surge in dollar buying.

As the recovery efforts continue in the aftermath of the earthquake and the financial markets react to changing economic conditions, the affected communities and investors alike remain vigilant for further developments. Stay tuned for more updates on these ongoing stories.
