Much of the world's attention is turned towards Japan and other areas affected by the earthquake. At times like these, the more immediate news we can get, the better. YokosoNews has been providing real-time English translation of Japanese-language network NHK on Ustream.
The YokosoNews channel on Ustream typically broadcasts information about Japanese culture. This weekend it's been streaming live coverage of the earthquake and the resulting damage.
NHK TV, a premium Japanese network, is also being offered by many cable providers for free now due to the current situation, and YokosoNews has been translating NHK into English for everyone interested in hearing the latest developments directly from Japan. So you can listen to the English YokosoNews broadcast while watching NHK.
(Or you may be able to get built-in translation on your TV, depending on your cable provider.)
Tune in to the livecast below (localized program times are posted on the site).
