earthquake and tsunami. more than 800 people are confirmed dead, but it's feared that figure will rise. indonesia's president has said they will need international help. our correspondent rebecca henschke is one of the first foreign correspondents to reach palu, where rescuers are still searching through the wreckage to try to find any more survivors and she sent this report. up to 50 people are believed to be still under the rubble of the roa roa hotel here in palu city. rescue workers are trying to find survivors. with no heavy building equipment available, they're using whatever they have. cries of help had been heard from the rubble. in this case, it came too late. presidentjoko widodo has visited the area, promising to speed up

the aid operation. hundreds of military personnel have been deployed, and some of the most vulnerable are getting help. those left behind are struggling. and, with aid only nowjust trickling in, desperate residents are taking matters into their own hands. translation: we need to eat. we don't have any other choice, we must get food. translation: we're in a crisis. we have nothing for our basic needs. food, water — we desperately need them. desperate relatives are flocking to the area to try to find out the fate of loved ones. this lady hasn't heard from her son and daughter. translation: i'm going out of my mind. i don't know where my children are. i'm going crazy with worry about them. i have no news at all.

she still has a long way to go to reach palu. we arrive after hours waiting for landslides to be cleared. people that i'm meeting here are saying that they haven't received any of that promised aid. the houses behind me that have been completely destroyed by the quake, those families are now camping out in tents, salvaging what they could for their homes. but they say they have only limited supplies to last into the coming days, and are breaking down in tears when i ask them about how they're coping. all along this coast road from the left and the right, for metres in, is all rubble. all these families have fled to higher ground. those that didn't flee in time were caught up in those waves, and the death toll here is expected to rise. i've been to the hospital near here, that is struggling to cope with the injured, and many people are still missing, unable to find their families. the bodies from this area are lined up at the nearby health clinic. doctors say that, in this

muslim—majority country, they will be buried in a mass grave soon, to stop the spread of diseases. translation: they are starting to smell. we want to wait for relatives to pick them up, but we can't wait any longer. this five—year—old girl was found alone with a broken leg. she knows her name, but herfamily is missing, and she can't remember where she lived. doctors are doing what they can to look after her. rebecca henschke, bbc news, palu, sulawesi. mariko oi is struggling to get to parlux. —— palu.

mariko oi is struggling to get to parlux. -- palu. a race against time to try and free the survivors. absolutely, sally. it is definitely the race against time. it has been so the race against time. it has been so difficult, as you mentioned. all of our teams have been trying to get to palu with very little success other than rebecca's team who have driven the hours to get there. that means for the crucial supplies like food and water to get there, that has been really challenging as well. we understand that the local airport in parlux has started to access some commercialflights in parlux has started to access some commercial flights as well. —— palu. a lot of that would be aid workers but still, a lot of flights trying to get their soap confusion about whether they can accept all the planes and supplies. —— trying to get there, so confusion. the people

need the supply is very badly. what are the authorities saying about the rescue effort? the indonesian leadership, of course, struggling. it is extremely difficult, as you mentioned. what are they saying about that? we heard from the government that they are going to accept foreign offers of help. whether that means foreign government or private sectors. we we re government or private sectors. we were just trying to find out but their priority is to make sure that those in need will get all the help they need and that is why the palu airport has not been accepting any commercialflights. airport has not been accepting any commercial flights. they have only been accepting chartered flights and helicopters which are delivering those supplies. that is definitely their priority. of course, some experts have started to criticise how the local authority reacted when

the earthquake hit and whether the tsunami a line system worked properly to warn all the residents, especially on friday evening. there we re especially on friday evening. there were hundreds of people on the beach having a festival and many of them have failed to run away from the tsunami and died as a result. some experts have been saying that the fa ct experts have been saying that the fact the local government hasn't come up with the funding to properly implement the alarm system is to be blamed for some of the casualties but of course, the government would argue that it's too early start pointing fingers, that the priority is rescue. authorities say every tsunami did is —— every tsunami is different and indonesia is prone to these disasters. viewers will remember that two months ago,

earthquakes hit the areas of lombok and bali and in 2004 many people we re and bali and in 2004 many people were killed in a tsunami in indonesia. in poorer parts of the country, like palu, people don't have the money to build the buildings that are strong enough to survive the earthquakes. it was very telling during the lombok earthquake that a lot of the international build hotels survived the earthquake but the local structures perished. macedonia's prime minister says he will seek parliamentary approval to change the country's name to resolve a dispute with greece, despite the low turn—out in a referendum. electoral authorities say little more than a third of macedonians had voted — well short of the 50% needed for it to be valid. in a moment we'll hear from our correspondent guy delauney but first here's zoran zaev the macedonian prime minister. translation: i know,

the opposition knows, all the citizens know — there is and there can be no better agreement with greece. there is and there can be no alternative to macedonia's membership of nato and eu. let's not play games with our unity and our macedonia. my personal message to every member of the macedonian parliament is let's put the national interest, the interest of the citizens and the strategic interests of the state above politics and above party interests. it was the key to opening up a whole new path for macedonia's development — certainly according to the government, and frankly, for a lot of the population as well. for all these years, 27 years since macedonia declared its independence, greece has wielded a veto over its potential membership of nato and the european union. and that obviously has ramifications for the country's security, economic prosperity, and reforms which would notjust end corruption, but improve the judiciary and education and health services. it was a high—stakes referendum.

the government tried to make that argument but it seems they were only preaching to the converted. if we think the turnout would have been somewhere between 35% and 40%, well, that is pretty much the proportion of voters who would have voted for mr zaev‘s party anyway. what seems to have been extremely successful was a campaign to boycott the vote which was organised by the leading opposition party, vmro. and as a result, of the people who voted, about 90% of those voted in favour of the name change. but most stayed away from the polls, and it has been a devastatingly effective tactic, the boycott, it would seem. let's brief you on some of the other stories making the news. two people have been killed and more than 120 people were injured by typhoon trami which struck japan over the weekend. the storm has now cleared the mainland but its aftermath has brought travel chaos to several cities. gale force winds and heavy rainfall caused damage that blocked roads and train lines — and over three

quarters of a million homes in and around tokyo have been left without power. president trump has vigorously denied suggestions that his administration is trying to micro—manage the fbi investigation into sexual assault allegations against his supreme court nominee, brett kavanaugh. mr trump ordered the new investigation on friday, as the senate delayed a final confirmation vote on that would make mr kavanaugh a key ninth member of the us supreme court. the british brexit secretary, dominic raab is to say that britain's willingness to compromise in the brexit negotiations "is not without limits". mr raab will today tell the conservative party conference that the government is willing to leave the eu without a deal if necessary. it went to the wire but it looks

like we have a new version of nafta. the deadline for negotiations between the us and canada expired half an hour ago. mexico has already agreed to new terms. jonathan charles, director of communications at the european bank of reconstruction and developmentjoins me now. a lot has been happening. so, we do have a deal and it would seem that president trump is confirming it and justin trudeau, the canadian prime minister. but we don't know the detail, do we? no. it looked like it went to the wire. it also looks at it will not be called nafta any more but it looks the kit could he called the us — canada— mexico agreement, a bit of a mouthful. 0ne the us — canada— mexico agreement, a bit of a mouthful. one of the things that seems to have been agreed is that seems to have been agreed is that canada will allow more access to the us farmers into their important dairy market in canada. an

important dairy market in canada. an important american demand. in return, there would be the threat against american imports of cars from canada. lots of moving parts. 0ne from canada. lots of moving parts. one interesting thing, i am sure that president trump will see it as vindication of the hardline he has taken over the vindication of the hardline he has ta ken over the past vindication of the hardline he has taken over the past 1.5 years on trade, saying it produces results. we can renegotiate these agreements. it also allows him to focus more on his confrontation with china. it also allows him to focus more on his confrontation with chinam it also allows him to focus more on his confrontation with china. it is about timing as well. they want to get it done before a change of leadership in mexico. it would seem that canada is not crying over spilt milk, we don't know. when it comes to, as you say, the issue of revamping the trade agreements, he a lwa ys revamping the trade agreements, he always said it was our rubbish deal. yeah, he will feel vindicated. at this particular deal hadn't been looked at over 20 years. it was ready for a change. i think it could argue that time does not stand still. the market that existed in the early 1990s, i remember when

that existed, it is very, very different now in terms of digital economy, in terms of service, in terms of the way the car industry functions. he will feel vindicated. jonathan is back for our news briefing. we have plenty of stories to get our teeth stuck into. all that and more to come on the programme. including: celebrations continue after europe swept the usa aside to regain the ryder cup. in all russia's turmoil, it has never come to this. president yeltsin said the day would decide the nation's destiny. the nightmare that so many people had feared for so long is playing out its final act here. russians are killing russians in front of a grandstand audience. it was his humility which produced affection from catholics throughout the world, but his departure is a tragedy for the catholic church. israel's right—winger, ariel sharon, visited the religious compound,

and that started the trouble. he wants israel alone to have sovereignty over the holy sites — an idea that's unthinkable to palestinians. after 45 years of division, germany is one. in berlin, a million germans celebrate the rebirth of europe's biggest and richest nation. you are watching the briefing. 0ur headlines: indonesia's earthquake and tsunami have claimed at least 800 lives. many more people are thought to be trapped under rubble. indonesian authorities have called for international help to get food, aid and heavy equipment to central sulawesi. let's stay with that now.

lets's talk now to anita nirody, united nations resident coordinator in jakarta. welcome to the briefing. what more can you tell us about the rescue operation? thank you very much. let me begin by saying how sad and we are to hear about the loss of lives and the extensive damage that has taken place in the donggala and palu city area. we know there has been tremendous damage in terms of the loss of lives, in terms of the infrastructure. we know that access to some of the areas is very difficult. we have some figures which indicate that the loss of lives as of now stands at 832 persons. there are almost 17,000 displaced, another 541 injured. but we know that these numbers are going

to rise, given that people continue to rise, given that people continue to be trapped, and given the fact that some of these areas, because of the damage to the airports and the roads, the access is not very easy. so we do expect that these numbers are going to rise. we also seeing that, in terms of the most immediate needs, these are actually going include evacuations, managing, actually, the various injuries. also the needs in terms of health, in terms of food, in terms of shelter. so the needs are definitely there, and we, as the united nations and humanitarian partners, are standing by to help with that. in terms of international help, the president of indonesia has called for that. any responses from around the world? so we do anticipate that the international request from the government will come through. as we

know, the government has over the last decade and a half invested considerably in their own disaster management and response capacities. but, at the same time, given the scale of this crisis and the fact that they recently had the earthquake only a couple of months ago in the lombok area, we do anticipate that they could open up a request for international assistance. thank you so much. thank you very much. the woman who won the miss iraq beauty contest in 2015 says she's received death threats. it comes just days after an iraqi model with a big social media following was shot dead in baghdad. there are fears extremists may be targetting iraqi women in the public eye, with a prominent human rights activist also killed last week. lebo diseko has more. ta ra tara was a fashion logger, model and

influence with almost 3 million followers online —— influencer. the 22—year—old was gunned down in the middle of baghdad on thursday while driving her car. cctv footage shows her at the wheel of her porsche just before that attack. moments later she was dead, killed by unknown gunmen. this country is no stranger to violence, but a number of murders of prominent women has left people shaken. translation: this is not the first case. it is happening every single thursday. we just wait each thursday at to see what will happen. the situation is very difficult. most girls, and especially the most famous ones, are thinking about leaving iraq. translation: people are starting to be scared because of the assassination cases, especially the assassination cases, especially the young women. this is affecting them ina the young women. this is affecting them in a very negative way. tara fares's death them in a very negative way. tara fa res‘s death came just them in a very negative way. tara fares's death came just days after another woman was murdered in her car, this time a human rights

activist in basra. the interior ministry says it has opened an investigation into ms fares's death, but many here feel more prominent women could be targeted next. now it is time to get all the latest from the bbc sports centre. hello, i'm marc edwards, and this is your monday sport briefing. coming up: we will see how europe thrashed the usa to regain the ryder cup. lewis hamilton gets a big helping hand in the f1. and prince william converting kenyans into villains. the draw for the last 16 of the women's champions league takes place on monday, with a big absentee and some dangerous looking usual suspects. barcelona overturned a 3—1 first—leg loss in kazakhstan to book their place in the draw. atletico madrid doubling the spanish contigent courtesy of their shock win over manchester city, who had reached the semi—finals in both previous editions. lyon without a doubt the team to avoid. they are continuing their bid for an unprecedented fourth straight title.

the action continues at the wta china open in beijing on monday, daria gavrilova already causing a bit of a stir in the middle kingdom after knocking out petra kvitova. she has to wait until tuesday to face dominika cibulkova. but caroline wozniacki, madison keys and us open champion naomi 0saka are all in action on monday. europe have regained the ryder cup after thrashing the usa 17.5 to 10.5 at le golf national in france. trailing 10—6 overnight the americans had threatened a comeback by winning three of the first five singles points. but europe weathered the storm, to prompt wild celebrations it's been absolutely amazing. it's been fairly easy to captain them, to be honest. so we're just delighted, you know. a while ago i thought this american

team is going to be very strong and very difficult to beat, but as we saw the 12 american guys on the tee, that was a strong line—up, and we have to have our best. but everybody showed up with attitude and their best golf. lewis hamilton has moved a step closer to a fifth f1 title with victory at the russian grand prix. it was a bit of an awkward win for mercedes, though. they ordered hamilton's team—mate valtteri bottas to let him pass to protect against ferrari rival sebastian vettel. that was after hamilton took vettel‘s place with a clever pass on—track. hamilton is now 50 points ahead of the german in the drivers championship. always the bridesmaid, never the bride, but finally alejandro valverde has broken his duck, claiming a long—awaited first title in the men's road race at the uci world championships in austria, sprinting to a dramatic victory. the spaniard had previously finished on the podium a record six times without winning, but he edged clear of a four—way sprint for the title to take the rainbowjersey. prince william is currently spreading the aston villa gospel

around the world. kenya is the last stop of a royal tour of africa for the duke of cambridge, which also included visits to tanzania and namibia. here he is handing out football jerseys from his favourite team to local children, the aston villa marketing department thanking their lucky stars they have such a stellar pro bono salesman. he also got involved on the pitch, although he didn't seem to have his shooting boots on with that wayward effort. luckily, the second in line to the throne was far more cool, calm and collected when it came to the british specialty, sort of, of penalty shoot—outs, finishing with ease. you can get all the latest sports news at our website. that is bbc.com/sport. but from me, marc edwards, and the rest of the sport team, that is your monday sport briefing. we are asking you today about

tipping. what is the practice when it comes to eating out and what you should give to those who have served you. today the prime minister is expected to announce legislation which will ensure restaurants cannot legally retain part of service charges, and this is off the back of some restaurant chains like tgi fridays, who keep a percentage of the tips left for the staff. she is looking to change that in the uk. we have asked you what you do. one viewer says she should take it a step further, the prime minister, to ban the adding of an automatic service charge that many restaurants put on their bill, of 12.5% or more. many views coming in and we will discuss them further in the next half—hour. with us. we will see you soon. hello there.

england and wales for the most part had a pretty cloudy day on sunday. there were a number of showers across the northern half of the uk, especially across scotland where they were blustery. we also had showers fall in northern ireland, north wales in the north of england. that is what one of those showers looked like as it passed the highlands, a rainbow with some sunshine between the shower clouds. looking at a beach overnight, a ridge of high—pressure toppling in across the country. what that will do is it will tend to clear the skies. it will be a slow process and there will be some showers running down irish sea coasts and northern areas of scotland. they will continue on and off through the night. 0therwise, with a combination of clear skies and light winds, it

will be a cold night. temperatures in the countryside will get low enough for some pockets of frost, especially across scotland and northern england. 0ne especially across scotland and northern england. one or two areas of frost in northern ireland and even as far south as southern england we could see temperatures dipping down to only the coldest locations. that takes us on in the monday morning and although it is a cold start to the day, it will be a glorious start as well with plenty of early morning sunshine. it will tend to turn cloudy across the north and west as we go through the afternoon. 0utbreaks and west as we go through the afternoon. 0utbrea ks of and west as we go through the afternoon. outbreaks of rain getting into the north and west of scotland, where it will turn quite happy. and temperatures still relatively cool. iis to temperatures still relatively cool. i is to be between 11 and 15 degrees. what we are going to see things turning milder by tuesday as this milder air pushes in off the atlantic. it is turning marlowe because we have a warm front living in across the country. increasingly that warm air will become confined to england and wales through tuesday, albeit with a lot of cloud. this weather front being the focus, with some spots of rain across parts of england and northern ireland. the best of the sunshine will be in the cold air we will have across scotland. here, temperatures just about reaching double figures in the warmest areas. for example, aberdeen and edinburgh should be temperatures getting up to about 12 celsius here.

notice further south, quite a contrast, with those temperatures as high as 21 degrees in london. it will be a much warmer day. get the weather as we had through the rest of the week ahead, it is often going to be pretty cloudy and the we may well see some rain across the west of the country in particular. perhaps drier and cooler as we head into the weekend. that is your latest weather. this is the business briefing. i'm sally bundock. we have a deal! at the 11th hour, canada and the us have agreed on changes to the north american free trade agreement — the canadian dollar jumps on the news. and a new captain to steer the huge us bank goldman sachs. david solomon takes over as ceo today. and on financial markets the canadian dollar and mexican peso are rising on the news of a renewed nafta deal, but asian shares got off to a slow start amid signs of weakness in china and japan.
