that's in review 2018: the media year. good evening and welcome to bbc news. indonesia says it will install a new tsunami warning system next year, after the failure to predict the waves that struck on saturday. the country's disaster agency now says at least a29 people were killed and 150 are still missing following the volcanic eruption and tsunami that swept through sunda strait. thousands of people who live on the islands of java and sumatra were forced to flee their homes for higher ground as the tsunami hit coastal areas. charities say they're worried about disease spreading as supplies of clean water and medicine are dwindling. sameer hashmi reports from the coast of west java.

three days after the tsunami struck indonesia the country is slowly coming to terms with the scale of the tragedy. the government has now turned its attention in providing relief to thousands of people who've lost their homes. several such centres have been set up to collect food and clothing. leading the relief and rescue operations in banten region is commander rico sirait. he says progress has been difficult. the challenge will be mostly because of the weather right now. it's rainy season during the end of the year. we try hard to still keep searching the shore. a few kilometres away, tommy manangka was supposed to have a busy christmas. but it's turned out to be empty. his beach—facing resort was shattered when a strong wave from the sea powered its way through these doors on the night of the tsunami.

in this muslim—dominated country, tommy is from the christian minority. and on a day he should be celebrating, he's busy picking up the pieces of his retirement plan. translation: i was with my guests when i saw a huge wave that went over the yard. i shouted, "this might be a tsunami". i asked the people to move up to the second floor and then the next wave came in so quickly, that guests who were in the lobby were dragged all the way to the road. the special forces are stilljointly conducting rescue operations with the national search agency across the affected regions. we have been following the rescue team for the last hour and they have been going from one beach to another trying to sift through the debris to look for more survivors. there are still many people that are missing. the team is still optimistic and hopeful even though they realise that this has been a year of disasters for indonesia. the president has ordered the installation of a new advanced

tsunami warning system. in a country which has been prone to natural disasters in recent years, this could help avoid a future large—scale loss of life. sameer hashmi, bbc news, banten, indonesia. the queen, in her christmas broadcast, has called for respect and civility, saying the christian message of "peace on earth and goodwill to all" is "needed as much as ever". she said treating the other person with consideration, even though, there may be deeply held differences, was a good step towards greater understanding. the royal family gathered for the traditional christmas day service on the sandringham estate, with hundreds of well wishers there to see them. but prince philip and the duchess of cornwall didn't attend. here's our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. morning service at the church on the sandringham estate and the queen without the duke of edinburgh this year. officials say that he is in perfectly good health but is taking things quietly.

much attention inevitably on the family's newcomer, the duchess of sussex and close attention on the interchanges between her and the duchess of cambridge. newspapers have been suggesting that meghan and kate have not been getting on. no sign of any tension on this christmas morning. the queen departed by car, the moment for the duchesses to dip, or in the case of meghan, to almost touch the ground. and then a queries and private secretaries became flower gatherers as the royals made their way to meet some of the people who had been waiting to see them. it's the younger generation to the fore now, harry and meghan and kate and william. and then flower duties completed, it was back to settle down for lunch and the queen's christmas broadcast. the queen recalled the centenary of the armistice which ended the first world war, a conflict in which her father had served in the royal navy. and then to more recent family matters. closer to home, it has been

a busy year for my family. with two weddings and two babies and another child expected soon, it helps to keep a grandmother well—occupied. and then a sentence about the unifying power of the commonwealth. these are the words which are being seen as an oblique piece of advice to the opposing sides of the brexit debate. even with the most deeply held differences, treating the other person with respect and as a fellow human being is always a good first step towards greater understanding. she finished with a reference to the story of christ. i believe his message of peace on earth and goodwill to all is never out of date. it can be heeded by everyone. it is needed as much as ever. so nothing explicit, no direct reference to brexit in the broadcast but the palace

is clearly hoping that the queen's carefully—chosen words about goodwill and respect will be heeded by everyone caught up in the brexit debate. nicholas witchell, bbc news at buckingham palace. authorities on both sides of the channel have picked up a0 migrants who were trying to cross to britain. four boats were intercepted this morning and a number of people were discovered by british officials in folkstone. one inflatable boat laden with six adults and two children was rescued by french authorities after its motor stopped working. our correspondent sarah campbell's been following the story. she is here now. are these numbers particularly notable? they are. i think we can say they are. there has been a recent upsurge we know in people travelling across the channel in small dinghies. the home office issued a statement at the end of

november saying this was the case. if you look at the numbers, 180 in total we have worked at the home office and not releasing individual figures but 180 since the beginning of november, a0 in the early hours of november, a0 in the early hours of christmas morning. so you have to say that is a significant number. if we look at reasons perhaps why and note that that is exactly what the immigration authorities are asking at the moment, first of all the obvious one being a mild night. lots of these people in one of the little vessels, these are dinghies, rowing boats, really small vessels, one of them had no life jackets that also people had been waiting for a weather window and they certainly had that. a further clue maybe there was a bbc investigation at the end of last month where they managed to record some smugglers talking to people and basically saying that the borders are set to close one person happens, when britain leaves the eu. so, and you need to get across when that happens so an impetus on that

front. a little interesting point. we do not know all the nationalities of the people that came across. but we know a significant number were from iran which has been the case all the way through since the beginning of november. this dates back to october 2017 bear with me in serbia. they offered visa free travel for a rainy and people. a0,000 flu over and it is thought that more than one in fourjust never returned and went uniquely into the eu and are now making this way through the eu countries and now making their way to britain through that route. even with the weather being mild and calm conditions the english channel is still a very immensely dangerous braund port such a small but. we know there were children, there were no life jackets and some of the vessels. thousands of thousands of pounds. english channel is one of the busiest lanes in the world. even on a mild day, or night, it is extremely dangerous.

but kerry people desperate enough to pay a significant amount of money to put their life at risk. sarah, thank you. stock markets in the far east have reacted badly to yesterday's slide in shares in new york. japan's main stockmarket index closed down 5% today. there were falls too in shanghai, bangkok and taiwan. investors are concerned about america's trade war with china, and the us government shutdown over christmas. president trump has been speaking to the media about the market turmoil of recent days. the president was asked whether the chairman of america's central bank, the federal reserve whom he has widely criticised, still had a future. we will see. they are raising interest rates too fast, that is my opinion. but i shouldn't have confidence, but i think it will straighten. they are raising interest rates too fast because they think the economy is so good. but i think they'll get it pretty soon. i really do. the fact is the economy is doing so well that they raised

interest rates and that is as a form of safety. president obama didn't do much of that. much easier to run when you don't have an interest rate. he had a very low interest rate. we have a normalised interest rate. a normalised interest rate means it is good for a lot of people. they have money in the bank and get interest on their money. for many years no one got interest on the money. but i have great confidence and i have great confidence in our companies. we have companies, the greatest in the world, and they're doing very well. they have record kinds of numbers. so i think it is a tremendous opportunity to buy. really a great opportunity to buy. the president was also asked about the on—going government shutdown which began at midnight on friday after democrats resisted president donald trump's demand for $5 billion, around £a billion, for his mexico border wall. he was asked when the government might reopen. i can't tell you when the government will be open. but it will not open until we have a wall or fence or whatever they want to call it.

i will call it whatever they want. but it is all the same thing. it is a barrier for people bringing to our company, into our country. it's a barrierfrom drugs. it is a problem in this world today. it is called human trafficking. human trafficking is one of the ha rd—to—believe problems and we are not going to let that take place, we are working so hard to catch these traffickers. they are bad people. as soon as i said i want to build a wall, they were all against it. it is like take another example. take comey. everybody hated comey, they thought he did a horrible job. the democrats hated him. they were calling for his resignation, they were calling for his firing, including schumer. including nancy pelosi. untilifired him. and once i fired him, everybody said, "oh, why did you fire him?"

take a look at some of these people. this is what we are doing now. take a look at some of these people. literally the day before i fired him, they said he should be fired. as soon as i fired and they said "oh, what did you do that for? that was a terrible thing to do". it is a disgrace what is happening in our country. but other than that i wish everybody a very merry christmas. thank you very much, thank you. a second child has died after being taken into custody while trying to cross into america from mexico with his family. the eight—year—old boy was from guatemala and had been complaining of a fever. meanwhile the family ofjakelin marquin have been mourning her loss today. the seven—years—old's coffin was returned to guatemala on christmas eve. she died days after being taken into custody at the border earlier this month. the pope has appealed for brotherly love between people of all races, nations and religions, to help solve the conflicts of the world. in his traditional christmas message, he said differences were not a danger,

but a source of richness. the archbishop of canterbury, justin welby, used his christmas sermon to speak of peace and unity, at a time of challenge and discord. here's our religious affairs editor, martin bashir. with the basilica bathed in sunshine, pope francis began his address by asking what is the universal message of christmas? he said that god is a good father and that we are all brothers and sisters, common humanity, despite our ethnic and cultural differences. translation: by his incarnation the son of god tells us that salvation comes through love, acceptance, and respect of this humanity of ours. which we all share in a great variety of languages and cultures. he followed this with a litany of nations at enmity,

from syria to the ukraine. the korean peninsula to the middle east. where he pleaded for israelis and palestinians to resume dialogue in a place he said was chosen by the lord but torn apart by conflict. translation: may all those who seek peace and consolation from the birth of the saviour and in the knowledge we are loved by the one heavenly father. realising you that we are brothers and sisters and come to live as such. at canterbury, archbishop justin welby also emphasised that the gospel of christ is not divisive but unifying and said that we must replace the language of conflict. god's language of love is exclusive. it requires us to forget other languages. of hatred. of tribalism. of rivalry. of political advantage. of materialism.

of pride of greed and so many more. although he did not mention the political challenges that lie ahead for the nation, justin welby like other religious leaders had used his christmas sermon to speak of peace and unity at a time of challenge and discord. martin bashir, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news. indonesia says it will build a new warning system, following the tsunami on saturday, which has killed nearly a30 people. in her christmas message, the queen spoke of a busy year with weddings and babies and highlighted the importance of people with opposing views treating each other with respect. hundreds turned out to greet the royal family, for their traditional church service at sandringham. lets take a look at what's making tomorrow's front pages.

and ahead of the boxing day sales, the i reports on a multi—million pound pot of cash to save high streets across the country. we might have to act is out because we do not have graphics. the mirror pictures the duchesses of cambridge and sussex enjoying a royal family christmas at sandringham. the express also shows the royal sisters—in—law, it's main story looks at the salaries of health bosses, saying hundreds are earning six figure sums to tell people to live healthier lives. the times also pictures the royal family but notes the absence of the duke of edinburgh who, according to a source is in perfectly good health. it leads on supermarkets offering plastic "bags for life", despite attempting to cut down on single—use plastic. and if you've been partial to odd mince pie or two today, the telegraph reports on plans by health bosses to impose calorie limits on thousands of foods sold in supermarkets and restaurants in an attempt to combat obesity. kevin spacey, the american actor, has been charged with sexually

assaulting a teenager in 2016. the alleged victim is the son of a tv news presenter. mr spacey, who spent more than a decade as a theatre director in london, has previously said he doesn't remember the incident. andy moore reports. here is an interesting tidbit that none of you may know... kevin spacey has been accused of unwanted sexual advances by more than 30 men, but these are the first allegations to get as far as court. i don't make this up... injuly 2016... he's accused of groping the teenage son of a television news reader in a bar. allegations that were first made public in a press conference last year. to kevin spacey, i want to say this — shame on you for what you did to my son. shortly after the charge was announced, kevin spacey released a video in which he adopted the role of his character frank underwood from house of cards. he made no direct reference to the accusations,

but he said enigmatically, "you wouldn't rush to judgement without the facts, would you?" kevin spacey is the winner of numerous acting awards, but his career has come to a standstill since the first allegation was made. at the time he apologised for inappropriate drunken behaviour. he's since made an absolute denial of all the other allegations. in the uk, police are investigating six accusations of sexual assault dating from spacey‘s time as artistic director at london's old vic. andy moore, bbc news. a man has been arrested on suspicion of murer after a 19—year—old woman was found in maidstone earlier today. emergency services were called shortly after 1:00 to a property in kent, where the teenager was confirmed dead. a 27—year—old man, believed to have been known to the woman, has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is being held in police custody. two 15—year—old teenagers have been charged with the murder of a man in north london at the weekend.

25—year—old wilham mendes, a portuguese national, was stabbed to death during an incident in tottenham on saturday night. britain's security forces now have the technology needed to help combat the threat of drones, according the security minister ben wallace. —— according to the security minister. it follows three days of disruption last week at london's gatwick airport. monika plaha has this report. christmas was almost cancelled, with three days of chaos and thousands of flights grounded or diverted, but after the drone disruption at gatwick, ministers now say they have the technology to curb the problem. taking to twitter on christmas eve, security minister ben wallace announced... for the 1a0,000 passengers whose flights were cancelled or diverted, it's too late. police made two arrests over the incident, but elaine kirk

and paul gait were eventually released without charge and cleared of any involvement. but they came home to find their names in some of the sunday papers along with their photos and details of their private lives. as you can probably imagine, we are feeling completely violated, our home has been searched and our privacy and identity completely exposed. our names, photos, and other personal information have been broadcast throughout the world. we are deeply distressed, as are our family and friends. and we are currently receiving medical care. their experience has raised concerns about the coverage. the airport has offered a £50,000 reward through crime stoppers to catch the culprits responsible for the drama. monika plaha, bbc news. electric scooters have become a multi—billion dollar business, and a familiar sight in cities

like paris and los angeles. but they're also increasingly visible on streets in the uk that's despite being banned for use on public roads. now there are calls for the law to be changed, as joe miller reports. they have been taking off across europe and in the us. equipped with an electric motor, these traffic—beating scooters can zip along at 20 mph. commuter lloyd bennett is a convert, despite warnings about their safety. it's not something that concerns me. i'm not going fast, you know. if you're going along somewhere that's really busy, you can turn the power down so you go a lot slower, and just take your time. it's just really easy, really simple. it's no different to a bike. there is one key difference. these scooters are still illegal in the uk, and are only allowed on private land. yet at this dealership in london, business is booming, and customers don't seem to be put off by the prospect of breaking the law. they have just come

from san francisco, they have just come from paris, they have just come from israel. you see everybody on them, it's a very green solution, and easy, and they don't understand why the government doesn't take it to the other step. he wants escooters to be treated the same way as electric bikes. so far, the company's appeals to authorities have fallen on deaf ears. the government has committed hundreds of millions of pounds to developing energy—efficient transport, but escooters like this aren't part of the mix, despite an increase in popularity, and there is no sign of the law being changed in a hurry. enthusiasts say escooters are one of the few convenient alternatives to overcrowded trains and buses. but motoring organisations say rules on how they should be driven are desperately needed. fairly rapidly, we're going to need some legislation to clarify where they can travel, how they can travel,

and also some guidance in terms of the highway code. the global boom in escooters has been fuelled by sharing schemes, and the fear of an avalanche of vehicles might be behind britain's reluctance to embrace them. but inokim's boss says better regulation could keep numbers down, and he is convinced, if the uk gets on board with escooters, it won't look back. joe miller, bbc news. a special delivery has been received at flamingo land resort in north yorkshirejust in time for christmas. this baby giraffe was born during the run up to the festive period at the park's zoo in malton. staff posted this picture of the calf and its mother. the new arrival, which is a member of the endangered rothschild's giraffe sub—species, is already "up and about". there are only a few hundred rothchild's remaining in the wild. do you believe in santa claus?

i can't believe i'm asking that. a question most of us avoid asking other people's children. not president trump whose war against fake news has extended this year to christmas tradition. he and melania trump, the us first lady, followed previous white house occupants in taking calls from children around the united states, anxious to find out from what's called the santa tracker where the sleigh delivering their gifts could be found. in one conversation, mr trump asked a seven—year—old whether he believed in santa, before suggesting it was "marginal" to believe at that age. all, that is very dead. and you just have a good time. do you still believe in santa? because at seven, it is marginal, right? well, you just enjoy yourself. where are you from, coal? —— cole?

all the children who called in had done so in the hope of getting through to the government agency that tracks santa's movements around the world at christmas — the north american aerospace defense command santa tracker. if you do not believe in our house he does not come. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomas. we and christmas day on a mild and cloudy up but no rain. as far as boxing day is concerned little change it will stay mild and some sunshine in the forecast not at all flawed but some. the set art image showing clouds across the western pa rt showing clouds across the western part of the british isles with wind blowing out the southwest. a mild direction at west at the moment temperatures are into double figures. looking at your time at europe, they're moving to eastern europe, they're moving to eastern europe pushing colder air towards russia. that is where the freezing weather is at the moment. let's look

at the forecast. the rest of christmas day and into the early hours of boxing day. a week where the front is approaching northwestern scotland you can see the south—westerly winds freshening here, rain on the way from the hebrides but the vast majority of the country it is a dry night mild as well with temperatures typically six, seven, 8 degrees. these are the daytime temperatures for this time the year and we're getting them at night. maybe a touch of frost in the far northeast of scotland. then boxing day itself some sunshine in the forecast i promised you. south coast may be east of the pennines and in parts of wales and northern ireland. look at these double—digit temperatures across the country. 11 degrees in glasgow, belfast and edinburgh. high—pressure driving the weather across many western parts of your. little pressure and little wind as well. always a bit of cloud as we get closer to north —— to atla ntic western as we get closer to north —— to atlantic western fronts. —— weather fronts. to the south of that

thursday looks bright. cardiff is in for some sunshine and the same goes for some sunshine and the same goes for london and also to be east of the pennines at some fine weather around for hall, for newcastle as well on thursday with temperatures around 10 degrees. colder in east anglia on thursday because the morning may bring a touch of frost so those teachers may struggle a little bit to the course the day. and then friday and into the weekend again, more or less the same. a of cloud with some sunny and temperatures around 10 degrees. that is it for me. bye—bye. hello this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. the headlines... indonesia says it will build a new warning system, following the tsunami on saturday, which has killed nearly a30 people. in her christmas message, the queen spoke of a busy year with weddings and babies and highlighted the importance of people with opposing views treating each other with respect.

i believe his message of peace on earth and goodwill to all is never out of date. it can be heeded by everyone. it is needed as much as ever. hundreds turned out to greet the royal family for their traditional church service at sandringham. british and french authorities have rescued a0 migrants from boats trying to cross the english channel. president trump says the partial us government shutdown will go on, until his demand for funds to build a mexican border wall is met. now on bbc news, it's the year the social media giants came under fire, the printed press got smaller, and blockbuster tv got even bigger.
