By which it is made ? Is by japan??

it is made in Indonesia. The radio works great on all bands and the sound is wonderful. Good luck.

Does this radio have an earphone jack? What is the power source? Thanks, Survival prepper

The radio runs for a very long time on 2 D Cells or External 3.6 Volt DC Adapter (Not Included/Center Pin Positive). There is also an earphone jack. You can read a full review of this radio here: https://radiojayallen.com/panasonic-rf-562d-retro-design-am-fm-sw-portable-radio/ Jay

I can listen to bbc news form it?

BBC World stopped broadcasting to the US in 2001. I use to listen on 5975khz at night all the time. It's either NPR (ugh) or SiriusXM satellite radio in the US anymore.

Is there battery included?

Bad luck Lucas, or you're buying from the wrong places. Every radio I ever bought came with batteries, including the last 2 I bought last year... and I've owned a lot of radios.
