tony evans, and columnist for the evening standard and the economic advisor, ruth lea. stay with us for that. good evening. indonesia is braced for the possibility of a further tsunami after a wave triggered by an erupting volcano killed more than 200 people and injured nearly 900 others. thousands of people who live on the islands of java and sumatra have been forced to evacuate to higher ground as the tsunami hit coastal areas. the volcano, anak krakatau, has been continuing to erupt today. our indonesia correspondent rebecca henschke reports. a popular local tourist destination, now a disaster zone. the only road in, cleared to allow aid supplies to get through.

people here now trying to piece together their lives. the next second, a wave engulfed the stage. the lead singer confirmed that four bandmembers had died and that his wife is still missing. this coastline where the band were playing is now littered with trouble. rani says she doesn't know how they will rebuild. translation: we were all

set up for christmas and new year holiday period. but it's been destroyed by the waves and the rest has been stolen. what am i going to do? families here say they had no warning and there was confusing information coming out from the government. translation: what was the government doing? at first they said there hadn't been a tsunami last night. they took ages to act. these waves were devastating. it was clearly a tsunami. over here, an image that gives you a sense of the power of the waves. these cars i'm told were parked on the other side of the road, and they've been pushed into each other on top of what was holiday villa, full at this time of year. here at this local clinic, desperate families are looking

for their relatives. the injured are still arriving. and the death toll is still rising. translation: the victims were local people who owned shops and stores here. but there were many visitors, too. we're trying to open the access road. last night a lot of debris had been dragged in and had clogged the road. officials believe underwater landslides caused by era officials believe underwater landslides caused by eruptions at the nearby anak krakatau volcano may have triggered the huge waves. it's still active. authorities are warning that there could be another tsunami, and telling people to stay away from the beaches. and a little earlier, rebecca gave us the latest on the rescue and relief effort in the area worst affected by the tsunami. with the government warning that there could be another tsunami, people here are going to bed with a sense of unease. those that can are leaving the area.

tourists that flocked here to spend their holiday time on these beautiful beaches are now rushing to leave. others have gone to higher ground, and are sleeping in mosques or at relatives' homes. along this road here, we've watching ambulances come in to help the injured and also to retrieve the dead. this area, these sleepy beached villages, are not prepared for the scale of a disaster like this. but the access to this area is much better than in previous disasters such as the tsunami that hit sulawesi a few months ago. so, with relative speed, authorities have been able to bring in health workers, emergency equipment, in order to help people here, with yet another disaster in indonesia. our correspondent rebecca henschke.

the volcano thought to have caused the tsunami has seen increased activity for the last few months, but it is not known as yet exactly how it caused the massive wave. our correspondent richard galpin has been exploring the possibilities. last night, after months of activity, came this particularly large eruption from the volcano known as the "child of krakatoa." and just 20 or 30 minutes later, the tsunami hit nearby coastal areas in the sunda strait. it's this violent volcanic activity, not an earthquake according to experts, which is believed to have triggered the deadly tsunami. it's quite rare, but can happen in several ways. either an underwater part of the volcano breaks away, displacing enough water to create a huge wave, or a section of the upper half shears off, plunging into the sea and having the same effect. the seismometers, either locally or around the world,

have not recorded a large earthquake associated with this event. that's why the eruption of the volcano, perhaps the movement, the failure of the flanks of the volcano, and the movement of material off the flanks of the volcano seems to be the most likely explanation. the fact hundreds were killed and injured may be down to there being no tremors, which would have alerted people to the danger of being close to the shore before the wave hit them. sitting on the pacific ring of fire, indonesia has a long history of volcanic activity. this volcano emerged less than 100 years ago, from what was left off the original krakatoa, which blew itself up in month the biggest eruptions are recorded. and now the child of krakatoa has been showing its potency. there's no sign so far off the eruptions dying down. richard galpin, bbc news. sussex police say they're examining

a damaged drone found near the perimeter fence of gatwick as part of their investigation into the disruption caused to the airport last week. two people arrested on friday have now been released without charge. our correspondent andy moore has been at gatwick this evening and sent us this update. this damaged drone was found yesterday morning and police say they are treating it as a significant development. the working assumption is that this may well be the drone that was seen by so many people over gatwick. so there is a forensic examination of that drone. that means checking it for fingerprints or dna. a parallel digital investigation is any electronic evidence of when and where it was flown. meanwhile, the couple from crawley, nearby crawley, who were arrested, they have been released without charge. police say they are no longer being treated as suspects. the airport here has been working at full tilt today, almost

as normal, trying to catch up on that backlog of flights from a couple of days ago. police say they are interviewing 67 people who said they saw that drone, that includes police officers, ground staff here at gatwick, members of the public. they say that, despite that weight of evidence, they have to keep an open mind. they say there is a possibility, just a possibility, that they may not have been —— there may not having any drones over gatwick in the first place. our correspondent andy at gatwick. president trump has promoted the deputy us defence secretary, patrick shanahan, to replace his boss, james mattis, on an acting basis. general mattis announced his resignation last week, after the president's decision to withdraw american forces from syria. he had said he would stay in his post until the end of february, but mr trump's announced that mr shanahan would take the job from the new year. the uk is being inundated with fake designer goods on a scale never seen before, that's according to the trade body,

the anti—counterfeiting group. an undercover investigation by the bbc has discovered vast quantities of fake or replica clothing, trainers, perfumes and electrical goods are being sold from living rooms, car parks even high street shops across the uk. trading standards says it is linked to serious organised crime and is costing the treasury millions in unpaid taxes every year. our special correspondent colin campbell has the story. it's christmas and black market britain is booming. we've got two left. they're a fake, are they? everything's fake, mate. i'm in manchester, where replica designer goods are being sold from shops on an industrial scale. they're not real? nothing's real, man. through this doorway, an aladdin's cave of fakes, spread out over three levels. belts, bags, coats, jumpers. all forms of fake counterfeit goods in there.

brazenly breaking the law, the area is known as britain's counterfeit capital. it's estimated that between 50 and 100 shops are involved. yves saint laurent. michael kors. chanel. it's just endless. outside, amongst the hordes of christmas shoppers, an army of lookouts respond to police. there are regular raids, but it's not enough. they can't stop it, they can't do much about it. they can if they want to but they've got other things to do. we showed our footage to the anti—counterfeiting group, which represents over 3000 brands. 4% of all imports into the uk now are fake. they're destroying jobs, they're destroying the high street. they're crippling our industries and we seem to be allowing it to happen. from the north of england to the south, we found scores of dealers knowingly selling fake goods, many openly advertising

on social media. can you get into trouble for it, then? you can, yeah. you've got to prove where you got them from. where we get them from, there's no receipts available. in a bradford car park, replica nike trainers. got these new in today. from a living room in hull, a catalogue of fake, phony designer gear. silver, didn't you? yeah, please. how much are they again? 25. in stoke, imitation beats headphones. the thing that lets them down is tagging. they've only got the one tag. generally they've got two. in bristol, fake north face hoodies and jackets. they're replica ones, but they're all right, are they? in northampton, another digital del boy selling replica perfumes and cosmetics. the sale of counterfeit products is linked to serious and organised crime — terrorism, people trafficking, arms sales. this is obviously a significant problem, that people perhaps don't realise they're funding that level of criminal activity. britain is awash with

counterfeit designer goods. everywhere we went, we were able to source fake or replica products. this stuff is being peddled from towns and cities across the uk. manchester city council says it's doing more work than ever to tackle the problem but with cuts to funding across the uk, enforcement authorities are, it seems, struggling to cope with the flourishing counterfeit industry. figures from the charity, crisis, suggest that more than 170,000 households in britain are experiencing extreme forms of homelessness, including rough sleeping and living in hostels. it blames the problem on a shortage of social housing, benefit payments failing to cover private rents and a lack of homelessness prevention schemes for people leaving care. the government says it's spending more than a billion pounds addressing the problem. angus crawford reports. tea, biscuits, a listening ear and a chance to be with others at christmas. roland knows just

how bleak it can be. i was on the street and i slept on benches. i remember one occasion when ijust woke up and had like a layer of snow on my coat. so it was quite shocking. amongst the volunteers, a famous face, coming here for years to offer her help and her voice. it'sjust becoming easier to become vulnerable and in trouble. it can be anything from a few missed mortgage payments, to a broken down marriage, to your partner dying, to just having an argument with your family. over the next week they will serve more than 7500 meals here. people will come to eat, sleep and get access to advice and there are 1a more centres just like this across the uk. today's figures show 170,800 households and lone individuals were homeless last year.

38,000 of them were under 25. in total, 12,300 people were sleeping rough. it's something that we think is totally u na cce pta ble. we are notjust talking about people on the streets, although the numbers of people rough sleeping are higher than have ever been recorded. we are talking about people in hostels and night shelters, bed & breakfasts, even sleeping in cars and tents and public transport. this is a situation that can't continue. the government says it is spending £1.2 billion to tackle the problem and is committed to ending rough sleeping by 2027. sausage and mash on the menu, experts at hand and, for tonight at least, somewhere to sleep that's safe and warm. the headlines on bbc news:

relief workers are attempting to assist the survivors of a devastating tsunami in indonesia which has killed at least 200 people. sussex police are examining a damaged drone found near the perimeter fence of gatwick airport, as two people arrested on friday are released without charge. the uk is being inundated with fake designer goods on a scale never seen before, according to the trade body the anti—counterfeiting group. sport now, and a full round—up from the bbc sport centre. good evening. we have had the season's highest—scoring premier league match today. tottenham are nowjust two points behind second—place manchester city, with spurs completing a comprehensive 6—2 win over everton at goodison park. mauricio pochettino's side ran everton ragged, and tottenham and are nowjust two points behind second—place manchester city. harry kane scored twice as did son heung—min, while dele alli and christian

eriksen added the other two. very pleased, i think the performance was fantastic. i think difficult to talk too much, but i'm very proud of all my players. they deserve all the credit. because that performance after they played wednesday, i think was to show not only quality — the initiative was fantastic. alfredo morelos scored a late winner as rangers came from behind to beat stjohnstone and move within a point of scottish premiership leaders celtic. the colombia striker took his tally for the season to 19 goals in all competitions. the win was rangers' fourth in a row at mcdiarmid park. bath have moved into the top six in rugby union's premiership with a 24—14 win at wasps.

19 of bath's points, including the opening try, came from their fly—half freddie burns. but wasps have now won just one of their last 12 games. our rugby union correspondent chrisjones was watching at coventry‘s ricoh arena, alongside the england women's scrum half natasha hunt. well, both teams are really struggling for form coming into the fixture, and it's bath who have come to the ricoh arena and got a very significant win on the road, cheered on by their supporters and doing a lap of honour behind us. natasha, who was summarising for us on radio 5 live, how impressed were you with the commitment of bath? we spoke before the match about how they would play the territory, they weren't looking to go and attack. whilst they were looking to be smart with the ball, they played territory, and they did it so well. defensively, they were fantastic. and fair play, to come here and get a ten—point win and dog it out — brilliant. and freddie burns has

had his ups and downs, especially the european game against toulouse. but 19 points today, a brilliant individual try, and he was the man of the match and really orchestrated bath to this crucial win. yeah, he really did. he played so well today, he managed it impeccably and they're good for the win, aren't they? 19 points, fair play. 24—14, a big win for bath. but for wasps, their tricky run of form continues. so confirmation there of that wasps—bath score, 24—14. there was one other match today. bottom side newcastle were leading against third—place gloucester, but were eventually beaten 20—17 at kingston park. last year's winner, rob cross, claimed an emphatic victory over spaniard cristo reyes in round three of the pdc world darts championship at alexandra palace. cross was rarely troubled and took the match 4—0. he will face either dimitri van den bergh or luke humphries in the last 16. england's james wade was booed

by the crowd following his behaviour in the previous round, where he celebrated in front of his opponent's face. despite that, wade recovered from 3—1 down to beat keegan brown 4—3, to reach the last 16 and set up a meeting with unseeded ryanjoyce in the next round. finally, scott brash finished fifth in the final of the grand prix at the olympia horse show. brash, along with his horse hellojefferson, was the only british rider in the final. and it was all going very well until hello jefferson decided that this was just one jump too far. he did recover to finish the course, though, but that stumble ended any hopes of victory. no such problems for italy's alberto zorzi, though. he claimed the win on his horse ulane de coquerie, in a time of 27.42 seconds. that's all the sport for now.

more tributes have been paid to the former liberal democrat leader lord ashdown, who died yesterday at the age of 77. paddy ashdown led the party for more than a decade until 1999, and is credited with making the lib dems a significant third force in politics. theresa may said the former royal marine had dedicated his life to public service. our political correspondent jessica parker has more. the military man turned diplomat and politician, paddy ashdown cut an impressive figure and a popular one. his success in building up the liberal democrats after its painful merger in the late 1980s means he leads an undoubted legacy, the action man, unafraid to push political boundaries. he never had the slightest sign of cowardice. he faced each situation calmly and in

light of the facts, and so on, and with a determination to have the best possible outcome. that courage, and a passion for foreign affairs, could cause some concern amongst colleagues. he took a great interest in the balkans, even when he was leader, and i used to try quite a lot of time to persuade him not to 90, lot of time to persuade him not to go, because he expose themselves to risk, for example, going into sarajevo, running the gauntlet of snipers and shelling and that kind, but that is the kind of person he was. what you saw you got, and a great deal more as well. although he never held high office himself, lord ashdown held that the foundations for what the liberal democrats would eventually become, a party of coalition government. and he was never afraid to offer some sage advice to his successes. he came to see me in my office when i was deputy prime minister and he said to me, he wanted to talk to me about something which is highly important and would have a big effect on my political fortunes and that of the

coalition and the liberal democrats. and i thought what have i done wrong now? is that you have got to that. you must lose weight. anyway, i received those instructions from him, and did try to act on them as well, as i always did. outspoken, dynamic, paddy ashdown was a man of irrepressible energy. it could sometimes exhaust his colleagues, but more often it would inspire them. the democratic republic of the congo will go to the polls next week to elect a new president for the first time in 17 years. it is a long—delayed vote to replace joseph kabila, who announced two years ago that he woud stand down. the country is the size of western europe, but has little infrastructure, making elections a logistical challenge as well as a process the opposition fears may not be free and fair. the bbc‘s africa correspondent alastair leithead has been to the kahuzi—biega national park and the mineral—rich province of katanga to try and understand why a country so rich in resources is so economically challenged. the congo river flows

from the heart of africa through the democratic republic of the congo, a country the size of western europe. there are few places on the planet where rivers run as powerfully as the congo does here, as it approaches the sea. if this energy was tapped by a hydroelectric power station, it could power the whole of africa. but the story of this country is often one of lost or squandered opportunities. the drc is rich in natural resources, yet its people are poor. with the largest rainforest outside the amazon, it is home to animals found nowhere else on earth. we've come in search of eastern lowland gorillas. four families here are used to humans, and can be visited, if you can find them. there is no path to follow.

we have to track them through the deep rainforest. it is tough going. through here. after three hours, we got our first glimpse. a whole family of eastern lowland gorillas. there are only 5,000 left, but few tourists come here. the eastern congo has been torn apart by war. and there is a struggle between preserving nature and cashing in on the country's resources. the congo is rich in copper and coltan, gold, diamonds and uranium, and cobalt, a key ingredient in electric car batteries. its price has rocketed, and 60% of the world's supply is here. wealth like this should transform a country, but the exploitation continues. we have a lot of resources, and these resources have been our malediction.

but at the same moment, these resources, if we can really manage them very well, we can make it. is it corruption that has eaten away at the wealth of this country? yes, corruption is one of the challenges among which we have to deal with. there is mineral wealth here worth trillions of pounds. if used properly, it could change the country's fortunes, and pull millions out of poverty. alastair leithead, bbc news, in the democratic republic of the congo. the actor michael sheen is helping to pay for security to protect the latest artwork by banksy, which has appeared on a garage wall in port talbot. the image, called season's greetings, has now been covered in a protective screen. last night a man tried to damage the mural, but was chased away by police. we will have a look at the weather in a moment.

but stay with us, because at 11:30pm we will be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, tony evans, author and columnist for the evening standard, and the economic advisor ruth lea. that is coming up after the headlines. now it is time for a look at the weather. thank you very much, very good evening to you. i can't give you any snow, unafraid, in the christmas week forecast, but there is good news in that there is no really severe weather on the way. if you are on the move, the only thing you have to watch out for could be some lingering fog patches. for most of the time it is a dry week with light winds, and tonight the frost actually becoming quite expensive as the rain eases. you can see where we still have some wetter weather at the moment. a miserable and grey day for much of england and wales in particular. some rate across the south at the moment and it will be there all night long. running you through the forecast, becoming confined to the likes of the channel islands, devon, cornwall, part of

somerset and the south—west of wales. clearer skies elsewhere, fog is already an issue in the glasgow area, becoming increasingly so across northern ireland, north—east midlands and north wales. and the blue on the chart is an indication it will not just blue on the chart is an indication it will notjust be blue on the chart is an indication it will not just be fog blue on the chart is an indication it will notjust be fog at blue on the chart is an indication it will not just be fog at freezing fog, with temperatures close to if not below freezing. coldest start your christmas eve across scotland, sunniest away lingering fog patches in the glasgow area. where you have fog, it could linger all day long, and parts of wales and east midlands in particular. with sunny spells, a brighter day than today and turning a bit dry across the south—west and the channel islands. temperatures 11 oi’ the channel islands. temperatures 11 or 12 degrees, but for most, after that chilly start it will be a cooler day with temperatures in single figures. fog across eastern england after sunset on christmas eve. if you are on the move, be wary of that. you can see the blue colours on the chart once again, but in the west, as we go into christmas day, milder air pushing in the west, as we go into christmas day, milderair pushing its in the west, as we go into christmas day, milder air pushing its way northwards could ring drizzle at times. the christmas day forecast

might not be a light one, but for one oi’ might not be a light one, but for one or two it could be a frosty and 41. one or two it could be a frosty and a1. especially across the eastern half of the country, some lingering fog through the midlands and east of england, but sunny spells out. a bit more cloud around compared with christmas eve. in the thick enough fog for some spots of drizzle and temperatures of ten to 12 celsius. single figure hides across the eastern half of the uk. some of that milderair in the eastern half of the uk. some of that milder air in the west will push eastwards as a topples around a high—pressure system drifting its way southwards. weather fronts across scotland introducing a bit of rain across scotland. for most dry day, afair rain across scotland. for most dry day, a fair bit of cloud, lingering fog through the midlands and east of england, increasing fog in the south later and temperatures around nine to ii later and temperatures around nine to 11 degrees. if you are on the move, fog could be an issue. keep checking back with us at bbc weather.
