Heavy rains hit the northeastern region of Japan. Due to torrential rains in the states of Aomori, Iwate and Akita, water levels in many rivers in the region rose to critical levels. Floods occurred in some rivers. Landslides caused disruptions in road traffic. Japan Railways (JR) has temporarily suspended high-speed train services between Akita Station and Morioka Station due to heavy rain in the Tohoku region. High-speed train services were disrupted between Yamagata Station and Shinjo Station.

Announcing that heavy rains will continue until tomorrow morning, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) warned residents living in risky areas against the risk of floods and landslides.

Berlin Struggles With Garbage Piles After Week-Long Strike

On Mar 18, 2025

A week-long strike by Berlin City Cleaning Company (BSR) workers has left 12,000 tons of garbage piled up on the streets, with cleanup efforts expected to take two weeks.

The strike, called by the Ver.di union after failed wage negotiations, halted waste collection, waste-to-energy plants, and biogas facilities from March 10-14. Overflowing bins and trash piles have raised health concerns, with warnings about rat infestations and disease risks.

With the strike over, 1,300 workers resumed collection, but negotiations remain unresolved. The union demands an 8% wage increase or at least €350 more per month, while employers reject the terms. No further strikes are planned for the next 14 days.
