STRONG
EARTHQUAKE JOLTS BALI
A strong earthquake
measuring 6.4 on the Richter scale rocked the islands of Bali and West Nusa Tenggara
at 7:10 a.m local time on Wednesday morning, but it has no potential to create
a tsunami.
Head of Matarams
Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency, Agus Riyanto said the
earthquake was located at the coordinate of 8.88 degrees southern latitude and
-115.24 degrees eastern longitude at a depth of 117 km.
With strong, moderate and
weak tremors, the earthquake was felt in a number of regions in the tourist
resort province of Bali such as Kuta, Gianyar and Denpasar.
The tremors were also felt
in the islands of Lombok and Sumbawa of the NTB province with an intensity
scale of III-V modified mercalli intensity. In these areas almost all felt the
tremors.
"The tremors of the
earthquake were also reportedly felt in Banyuwangi, East Java," Riyanto
said.
Seeing the depth of its
epicenter, the earthquakes scale is categorically medium. It is triggered by a
subduction as a result of the interaction of the Indo-Australia and Eurasia
plates.
An earthquake measuring
five on the Richter scale is capable of causing considerable damage and one
measuring six severe damages.
"Up to this report is
filled, there are no immediate reports on aftershocks and damage or losses
incurred by earthquake," he said.
The BMKG official called
on residents to remain calm and follow the directives of the regional Natural
Disaster Mitigation Agencies (BPDB) and the BMKG.
So now let’s move out to
the sport news.
CHAMPIONS
LEAGUE: REAL MADRID TO FACE BAYERN MUNICH IN QUARTERFINALS
Bayern Munich coach Carlo
Ancelotti will return to former club Real Madrid after the two teams were
paired in the Champions League quarterfinal draw Friday.
Ancelotti guided Real to
its long-awaited 10th European title in 2014, but was sacked a year
later. After taking a year-long sabbatical, the Italian took over as coach of
German champion Bayern.
Real's La Liga rival
Barcelona, which reached the last eight after an astonishing 6-5 aggregate win
over Paris Saint-Germain, faces Italy's Juventus in a rematch of the 2015
final.
Leicester City, the only
English club remaining in the competition, plays Atletico Madrid -- Spain's
third title hopeful -- while Germany's Borussia Dortmund meets French league
leader Monaco.
The first-leg ties take
place on April 11-12, with the return matches on April 18-19.
In the Europa League,
favorite Manchester United was drawn against Belgian side Anderlecht.
The possibility of winning
the continent's second-tier competition arguably offers United the best chance
of qualifying for next season's Champions League, given Jose Mourinho's side is
sixth in the English Premier League table and six points behind fourth-placed
Liverpool.
Spain's Celta Vigo faces
Genk of Belgium, Dutch club Ajax meets Germany's Schalke, while French club
Lyon takes on Besiktas of Turkey.
And now let’s move out to
entertainment news.
'BEAUTY
AND THE BEAST' NABS US$357 MILLION WORLDWIDE
"Beauty and the
Beast," Disney's live action remake of its beloved 1991 animated film,
made US$357.1 million at the worldwide box office this weekend.
Of that total, US$174.8 million
came at theaters in North America.
The domestic total
exceeded what people in the industry had expected, and it broke the record for
the biggest box office opening in March. The record had been held by last
year's opening of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice." And it's also
the best opening weekend of 2017 so far.
The film, which stars Emma
Watson as Belle, is another blockbuster hit for Disney's live action reboots of
animated films. The franchise includes 2010's "Alice in Wonderland,"
2014's "Maleficent," 2015's "Cinderella," and last year's
"The Jungle Book."
"'Beauty and the
Beast' is the latest example of Disney's perfectly executed strategy of going
to their animation vaults, dusting off a classic and reinventing it as a modern
live-action movie," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst
at comScore.
The film's PG rating,
mid-March release, casting, and mix of both new and classic songs helped lead
to the film's big opening, Degarabedian said.
The record haul is good
news for Disney since the movie had a steep US$160 million production
budget.
Other live action remakes
in development at Disney: "Dumbo," "The Lion King,"
"Aladdin," "Mulan" and "Pinocchio."
That’s all for now. See
you next time for more update in the afternoon.
God bless, keep save, stay
tune only on HK News.
