born free. and exile six syrian. shanghai man brings a taste of home to a sellout crowd at her first of a concert in the german capital. welcome to the program the death toll from a major earthquake the triggered a tsunami on the indonesian island of the has risen to more than eight hundred the country's vice president has won the number could soar into the thousands hospitals are struggling to cope with the injured and large parts of the city palu are in ruins. combing through the rubble for victims the dead and those who might have survived this collapse tertullian palu city has been one focus of the efforts dozens were reportedly still trapped inside. while

evacuations by plane have been underway for those fortunate to have served. this dual disaster some were injured as an earthquake sent buildings tumbling others as tsunami waves pummeled the shore. the destruction has left people without food and water in the areas hardest hit. authorities are attempting to provide enough aid and supplies but the damage to infrastructure has slowed their efforts. witnesses have described the moment the seven point five magnitude earthquake struck. when the quake hit i was doing my shopping suddenly everything went dark and the walls started falling around us it was horrible. most confirmed deaths so far from the city of palo a provincial capital on sulawesi island but reports remain sparse from outlying areas such as don garber

a region close to the earthquake's epicenter and home to some three hundred thousand people. we're expecting a rise in the number of dead even though we would hope the figures remain the same . one. considering the conditions out there that are bodies on identified as well as victims buried beneath the ruins but there are also remote areas yet to be reached even. now authorities are facing questions over whether disaster warnings were sufficient indonesia's disaster mitigation spokesman tweeted this video saying it shows how people were at the beach as the tsunami waves rolled in with no sirens going off. officials are being criticized for allegedly lifting a tsunami warning too soon possibly leading to a greater loss of life along the coast. i'm now joined by deed of the correspondent

bustin hot issues. on the island of. sebastian we've just heard in our report that authorities are facing criticism over the apparent failure to want people of the tsunami why. well there is this tsunami early warning system in place ever since that devastating tsunami back in two thousand and four which killed more than two hundred thousand people in this region so. usually when a tsunami comes then this system would sound an alarm now in this case that didn't happen actually you know in this case that did happen but didn't reach the people so the german center for geosciences which is involved in this in this program they're saying that this early warning system worked fine however that alarm didn't reach the people as we saw in the report there were no sirens on the beach which is why people couldn't see shelters so the question now is why not one of the possible

explanations is human error but there have to be more investigations into this to back up those claims all right at the moment the focus seems to be such an rescue with the death toll rising most of the dead appear to be in palo but what about other affected areas outside. that's the thing i just spoke to someone who's connected with the eight flights that are going out from the airport here behind me. airport they're going to paulo and they're saying that it's very hard for the aid workers to actually reach those outlying areas because roads are destroyed because landslides went down because of this earthquake so there's a lot of areas that haven't been reached by the aid workers yet and not only that these areas in these places haven't received any aid also the communications systems are down so in a lot of areas people don't even know or the authorities don't even know how big

the degree or to what degree the devastation the devastation actually happened there and how many people were affected by it and that's why the indonesian authorities and the government that they're saying that they're afraid that once they get contact to these areas that they haven't been able to reach yet that they're going to find out that there's going to be a lot more people dead and indonesian vice president today said that he's afraid that it might go into the thousands you're describing a rather desperate scenario and the pictures have been looking at on our screens confound that so how is the vibe those coping with the aftermath. well the people at least at the moment they're of course at the moment desperately in need of food. above all of water medication of course and that's what these these aid flights are trying to bring in but of course there have been reports of looting. malls for example but also the authorities have said that they're actually

supporting people to get food in that those stores that were looted and that the food was taken out of in the water that they're going to be compensated later because right now the highest goal and the most important goal right now of course is that the people have enough to eat and that they have enough water and that they have shelter and that's what the authorities are trying to provide so that looting is going on but the authorities are saying there's a there's going to compensate those those stores and later that were that were affected by this. correspondent bastin ha ha. on the island of thank you. time now for some of the other stories making news around the world a powerful typhoon is lashing the japanese mainland threatening a region still reeling from a 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 authorities
