A magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck off Russia's Pacific coast on Tuesday about 182 miles east northeast off Kuril'sk in the Kuril Islands, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

The quake, which struck at 12:24 a.m. EDT, was at a depth of 24.3 miles, USGS said. There was no immediate tsunami warning from the quake, according to the Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center website.

Japan's Meteorological Agency Web site said only a minor tremor was recorded in the northeast of Japan's northern island of Hokkaido, and no risk was seen of a tsunami in Japan.

The G20 moves the world a step closer to a global currency A single clause in Point 19 of the communiqué issued by the G20 leaders amounts to revolution in the global financial order. "We have agreed to support a general SDR allocation which will inject $250bn (£170bn) into the world economy and increase global liquidity," it said. SDRs are Special Drawing Rights, a synthetic paper currency issued by the International Monetary Fund that has lain dormant for half a century. In effect, the G20 leaders have activated the IMF's power to create money and begin global "quantitative easing". In doing so, they are putting a de facto world currency into play. It is outside the control of any sovereign body. Conspiracy theorists will love it.
