tsunami will anybody be held accountable. well that remains to be saying but certainly the mayor logical agency has come in quite a lot of criticism due to the fact that it was mentioned that around half an hour after a tsunami warning was issued it was then lifted as mentioned there was no sirens meaning that there were still people on the base however this is because electricity had already been caught up off because of the earthquake now authorities in a defensive said that well actually the tsunami warning was lifted off the tsunami already heat the problem being that the communications have been cut out to have this sort of speaks to a larger problem which is that. early detection systems in indonesia for things are . perhaps inadequate to the void that was used to monitor. two or three hundred kilometers away from. in actual fact it was it would have been

5:06 pm
and there would be an increase in the casualties. nevertheless there have been some reports that. two areas. yes they know official word from the management agency or other authorities on this and briefly max it seems that focus is also shifting on what to do with the dead the government announcing that mass burials will be conducted to avoid the spread of disease what's the situation on the ground right now. certainly yes it does seem fairly and still quite chaotic certainly there's been reports of a prison outbreak which occurred as the tsunami hit. subsequently been a riot there is also. because people are so desperate for food and water as well as medical supplies. given the level of damage the military there
5:07 pm
stablished the fuel hospital and parties are doing their best to people. we face food supplies etc however of course it does seem to be an extremely difficult situation for authorities to manage and you know we're seeing some fairly shocking things like this emerging. thank you thank you. now to some of the other stories making news around the world a powerful typhoon is lashing the japanese mainland threatening a region still reeling from the storm last month high winds and heavy rainfall have halted and train services in parts of the country three hundred thousand homes are without power authority as have ordered the evacuation of more than half a million people. don't eons of voting in a landmark referendum to decide whether to add the word north to the country's name
5:08 pm
making it the republic of north it's a tweak that could settle a decades long dispute with neighboring greece which is a province called macedonia the result could pave the way to nato and e.u. membership. an egyptian activist has been fined and handed a suspended prison sentence for criticizing the government's failure to protect women earlier this year amal fatah posted a video online in which she spoke out about sexual harassment in egyptian society amnesty international have condemned the verdict calling it an outrageous case of injustice german chancellor angela merkel has attacked u.s. president donald trump accusing him of undermining the united nations last week trump used his second address to the assembly to criticize multilateralism saying each country must look out for its own interests speaking at a joint appearance with the various state premiers on sunday that one trump against destroying the u.n.
5:09 pm
she said trump was dangerous and a stronger europe is needed. right now what does europe need to do as a result of fact it means that europe needs to defend its own interests in the global community but only if we have a common foreign and security policy. with the chancellor in bavaria and she joins us now michela how strong and how unprecedented was the chancellor's attack on president trump. but we've seen or heard talk about this before particular concern of the destruction of a multilateral order it certainly is one of the more vocal criticisms towards washington that we've seen in the past and it clearly shows that the german chancellor is trying to put on the record specifically her concern as she said of destroying something without having anything to replace it we also saw the german foreign minister in new york at the u.n.
5:10 pm
general assembly this week and he's right now for the german government together with other willing countries forging something he refers to as a coalition of multilateral list so certainly germany wants to take some responsibility here too if the united nations remains as it is right now at least be able to have something to replace it with so the multilateral world order that's basically the order we all live in right now isn't lost beyond repair but we can't know what's behind these remarks german foreign policy or i mean is it difficult relationship with president. well it's an open secret really that they don't see eye to eye and we saw during that g seven meeting as well as her previous visits to washington that there's no love lost between the two leaders very different outlook on the world and to put it mildly
5:11 pm
a very different style of government so germany seems to choose certain degree resigned itself to the fact that diplomatic business but also straight business is more difficult or cannot be done with this presidency and the chance of stress here that she was very glad that there was something called the euro currency and the european union which shields germany which of course has a very strong automotive industry something that donald trump has already targeted . industry what he wants to potentially see sanctions and that is something she sees as to be averted but only through europe and that's really the message she wants to his home in her home here today together with the prime candidate for sister party here but which is fighting pretty much for his political reputation over the coming weeks political editor in bavaria thank you.
