Mexico's president says material damage reported near epicentre of quake, but it is lucky death toll not higher.

Monday’s earthquake was the result of the “interaction of the Cocos plate with the North America plate”, which also caused the 1985 earthquake, Perez-Campos said. Power was out in parts of the city, however, including at stoplights, which snarled the capital’s already notorious traffic. “It was a tremor of considerable intensity,” he said. Ten people also were injured: nine in Colima and one in neighbouring Michoacan.

Written in Stone: Inca Buildings Remember Ancient Earthquakes (Eos)

Damage to the Inca buildings of Cusco reveals a forgotten earthquake history that could help scientists understand modern seismic hazards.

Benavente is currently conducting fieldwork in the Ancash region of Peru, tracing ancient earthquakes and their relationship to landslides and debris flows. Although most research has focused on Europe, she explained, the Cusco results “could stimulate new avenues of research for the protection and conservation of cultural heritage in the future.” [tourist hot spot](https://www.peru.travel/en/destinations/cusco), but the risk from earthquakes is largely unknown. Another [temblor in 1950](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQi4iQ2HyXY) reportedly affected more than 30,000 people and damaged half the buildings in Cusco. For this reason, the researchers scored each broken block by the likelihood it was caused by a quake, then used statistical models to check for anomalies in wider damage patterns. Founded as early as 1000 CE and capital of the Inca Empire in the 1200s–1500s, Cusco’s ancient and highly decorated stonework abuts Spanish colonial and modern architecture.

In January 2020, an Associated Press photographer cropped Nakate from a picture of youth climate activists, leaving her friend Greta Thunberg and three other white young women in the shot. Increasing numbers are complaining of sleepless nights and having to protect themselves from the deluge of harassment and humiliation tactics. From active shooter trainings to cancelled bookmobiles, librarians such as Kuhl are caught in the crossfire of a conservative censorship craze. The new prime minister conceded that Feldman said: “I understand how difficult this is, but we need to make sure we hold the correct person accountable.” Did the quake cause a lot of damage? “The 19th is a day to be feared.” An assistant state attorney Becky Feldman described details that undermined the conviction including unreliable witness testimony and a potentially biased detective. Ruling that the state violated its legal obligation to share exculpatory evidence with Syed’s defense, the circuit court judge, Melissa Phinn, ordered Syed be placed on home detention with GPS monitoring.
