HONG e Associated Press TOKYO — A heavy downpour and strong winds pounded Tokyo and sur- rounding areas on Saturday as a pow- erful typhoon forecast to be Japan’s worst in six decades made landfall and passed over the capital, where streets, nearby beaches and train stations were long deserted. Store shelves were bare after people stocked up on water and food ahead of Typhoon Hagibis. The Japan Meteoro- logical Agency warned of dangerously heavy rainfall in Tokyo and surround- ing prefectures, including Gunma, Saitama and Kanagawa, and later ex- panded the area to include Fukushi- ma and Miyagi to the north. A coastal earthquake also rattled the area. “Be ready for rainfall of the kind that you have never experienced,” said meteorological agency official Yasushi Kajihara, adding that areas usually safe from disasters may prove vulnerable. “Take all measures necessary to save your life,” he said. Kajihara said people who live near rivers should take shelter on the second floor or higher of any sturdy building if an officially designated evacuation center wasn’t easily ac- cessible. Hagibis, which means “speed” in Fil- ipino, was advancing north-northwest- ward with maximum sustained winds of 90 miles per hour, according to the meteorological agency. It was traveling northward at a speed of 25 mph. It reached Kawasaki, a western part of greater Tokyo, late Saturday and headed to Tsukuba city to the north about an hour later, before it was ex- pected to swerve toward the sea, the agency said. The storm brought heavy rainfall in wide areas of Japan all day ahead of its landfall, including in Shizuoka and Mie prefectures, southwest of Tokyo, as well as Chiba to the north, which saw power outages and damaged homes in a typhoon last month. Under gloomy skies, a tornado ripped through Chiba on Saturday, overturning a car in the city of Ichi- hara and killing a man inside the ve- hicle, city official Tatsuya Sakamaki said. Five people were injured when the tornado ripped through a house. Their injuries were not life-threaten- ing, Sakamaki said. The heavy rain caused rivers to swell, and several had flooded by late Satur- day. The wind flipped anchored boats and whipped up sea waters in a dan- gerous surge along the coast and areas near rivers, flooding some residential neighborhoods and leaving people to wade in ankle-deep waters and cars floating. Some roads were so flooded they looked like muddy ditches. An earthquake shook the area drenched by the rainfall shortly before the typhoon made landfall in Shizuoka prefecture Saturday evening. but there were no immediate reports of damage. The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude 5.3 quake was centered in the ocean off the coast of Chiba, near Tokyo, and was fairly deep, at 37 miles. Deep quakes tend to cause less dam- age than shallow ones. The nationally circulated Yomiuri newspaper put the storm’s casualty toll at two people dead, three miss- ing and 62 injured. More than 170,000 people had evacuated, the paper said. Tokyo area shuts down as typhoon lashes Japan Meteorologists are recording maximum sustained winds of 90 mph.

BY MEHMET GUZEL e Associated Press CEYLANPINAR, Turkey — Turkey’s military said it cap- tured a key Syrian border town under heavy bombardment Saturday in its most significant gain since an offensive against Kurdish fighters began four days ago, with no sign of relent- ing despite mounting interna- tional criticism. Turkish troops entered central Ras al-Ayn, according to Turkey’s Defense Ministry and a war monitor group. The ministry tweeted: “Ras al-Ayn’s residential center has been taken under control through the successful operations in the east of Euphrates” River. It marked the biggest gain made by Turkey since the invasion began Wednesday. The continued push by Turkey into Syria comes days after President Donald Trump pulled U.S. forces out of the area, making Turkey’s air and ground offensive possible, and said he wanted to stop getting involved with “endless wars.” Trump’s decision drew swift bipartisan criticism that he was endangering regional stability and risking the lives of Syrian Kurdish allies who brought down the Islamic State group in Syria. The Kurdish-led Syri- an Democratic Forces was the main U.S. ally in the fight and lost 11,000 fighters in the nearly five-year battle against IS. Turkish troops and allied Syrian opposition fighters have made gains recently captur- ing several northern villages in fighting and bombardment that left dozens of people killed or wounded. The invasion also has forced nearly 100,000 peo- ple to flee their homes amid concerns that IS might take ad- vantage of the chaos and try to rise again after its defeat in Syria earlier this year. The Syrian Democratic Forces, or SDF, said the Unit- ed States should carry out its “moral responsibilities” and close northern Syrian air- space to Turkish warplanes, but that it didn’t want the U.S. to send its soldiers “to the front lines and put their lives in danger.” During a meeting Satur- day in Cairo, the 22-member Arab League condemned what it described as “Turkey’s aggression against Syria” and warned that Ankara will be re- sponsible for the spread of ter- rorism following its invasion. Turkish forces say they’ve captured Syrian border town The continued push comes days after President Trump pulled U.S. forces out. BY JOHN LEICESTER e Associated Press HONG KONG — As a police van sped past them, the 90-year-old woman and her 60-year- old daughter raised their fists, pointed their thumbs very deliberately down and yelled, “Triads!” That silver-haired women in Hong Kong no longer think twice about openly accus- ing officers of being in cahoots with mafia gangs shows how public trust in the city’s 30,000-strong police force, once considered among the finest in Asia, has been catastroph- ically damaged in the storm of protest gripping the international business hub. In trying to end the anti-government demon- strations, which broke out in multiple locations again on Saturday and are now in their fifth month, one of the most pressing problems to solve for Hong Kong leaders will be dispelling the now widespread public scorn for police offi- cers. Protest graffiti likening officers to dogs and worse is all over the city, and protesters Satur- day chanted for the force to be disbanded. Overall, Saturday’s rallies were lower-key and more peaceful than other far larger and more violent protests that have rocked the semi-autonomous Chinese territory. Riot po- lice deployed but stayed far behind the day’s largest rally, which drew thousands of peaceful marchers in Kowloon. Police said rioters tossing gasoline bombs damaged a subway station, but there was no repeat of the more intense destruction and battles between protesters and police that have spread across Hong Kong. Still, restoring any semblance of trust be- tween police officers and the 7.5 million peo- ple they are sworn to serve and protect is going to be a long, hard battle. Demonstrators widely decry the force’s po- licing of the hundreds of protests that began in early June as thuggish, with more than 2,300 people arrested. Its liberal use of tear gas and what has become a familiar sight of officers in full riot gear has come as a shock to a city that long prided itself on being safe. In Hong Kong, all trust gone between police and protesters
