According to East Africa Tea Trade Association, 8 million kilograms of tea has been stuck in warehouses in Kenya's port city of Mombasa for weeks, threatening export earnings and farmer incomes. George Omuga is the association's managing director.

With a fragile ceasefire, smooth passage through one of the world's most important shipping lanes, the Strait of Hormuz may not be guaranteed, and exporters in the region fear that the worst is yet to come.

This is the Global News Podcast. Let's move to Japan, where a big earthquake has struck off the country's northeastern coast. The underwater quake caused a tsunami, and people living near coastal areas and rivers were warned to immediately move to higher ground and watch for further quakes. This was an announcer on the Japanese broadcaster NHK shortly after the quake hit.

There are offshore tsunami observed off the coast of Iwate Prefecture. This means that waves are approaching Iwate Prefecture. And there are tsunami warnings in place also for Aomori's Pacific Coast and Hokkaido's Central Pacific Coast. If you are in these areas, you must evacuate now. Go to higher ground. Do not go back. Do not stay near the coastline or near riverbanks, because tsunami can cause waves to go inland.

Quite a strong warning there. The initial alert was for a possible three meters tsunami. Did that happen? Here's the newsroom's Miki Bristow.

Mickey Bristow. To Hong Kong now, and the scene of the territory's deadliest fire in decades, which engulfed an apartment complex in November. 168 people were killed. For the first time since that fire, residents at the complex have been allowed to return to retrieve their belongings. Our reporter in Hong Kong, Martin Yip, has more details.

And last, here in the UK, the government's domestic security agency, MI5, is warning that a new technology created by the artificial intelligence giant, Anthropic, is very powerful and could be dangerous in the wrong hands. Claude Mitho's preview is so good at finding weaknesses in cyber security systems that its American developer has decided it's too dangerous for general release. Our reporter Will Chalk has more.

This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service. I'm Celia Hatton and we're recording this edition at 15 GMT on Thursday, the 9th of April. Iran's president accuses Israel of violating the ceasefire deal with its deadly bombardment of Lebanon and warns negotiations with the United States on ending the war will be meaningless if attacks continue. But Israel pledges to keep striking Hezbollah targets.

Also in this podcast, Argentina approves a law making it easier to mine in glacier regions, but campaigners say it threatens crucial water sources. And what's it like to watch your husband blast off into space?

A lot of excitement, a lot of anxiety, but we are just so, so happy to see him living his dreams. So we're having the time of our lives watching him. We'll hear from Dr. Katherine Hansen, wife of the Artemis II Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen.

Yhteistyössä Yhdysvalloissa maailma ottaa yhden yhden yhden ympäristön, kun odotamme, onko Yhdysvalloissa rauhoittuminen Iranin kanssa. Iranin presidentti Massoud Pazeshkian sanoi, että Yhdysvallojen keskusteluja lopettamiseen vaaralla olisi epäonnistunut, jos Israel pysähtyy lebanonin sääntöön.

He vowed that Tehran would not abandon the Lebanese people. Iran's deputy foreign minister Saeed Hatibzadeh told the BBC the strikes on Lebanon were a grave violation. You cannot have a cake and eat it at the same time. That was the message that Iran sent quite clearly, crystal clearly to Washington and to the Oval Office last night.

More than 200 were killed in Wednesday's strikes, and the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged to keep attacking the Iran-backed group Hezbollah wherever necessary.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump says US forces will remain in the region until Tehran complies with what he described as the real agreement. He's pushing for Iran to allow ships through the Strait of Hormuz, a move which would allow a significant portion of the world's oil to flow again. At this rate, will the US and Iran make it to Saturday when they're scheduled to sit down for talks in Pakistan? Let's hear from our chief international correspondent Lise Doucette.
