russian broad three. and it's out syrian scene it. brings a taste of home to us and our crowd at their first ever concert in the german capital. i'm christine will go welcome to the program the death toll from the major earthquake triggered a tsunami on the indonesian island of sin away sea has risen to more than eight hundred the country's vice president has warned the number could soul into the thousands hospitals all struggling to cope with the injured and large parts of the city. in ruins. coming through the rubble for victims the dead and those who might have survived. this collapsed hotel in palu city has been one focus of the efforts dozens reportedly still trapped inside.

meanwhile evacuations by plane of been under way for those fortunate to have survived this disaster some are injured as an earthquake center buildings tumbling others as tsunami waves pummeled to shore. the destruction has left people without food and water in the areas hardest hit. was the authorities are attempting to provide enough aid and supplies. but the damage to infrastructure has slowed their efforts. there was the seven point five magnitude quake left many survivors desperate. so let me said dad you are right we went to the beach because my daughter in law has a good stall there we looked for her but couldn't find her but i'm glad you're alive you know so and you know my it is only our house was still there we could go home unfortunately it was completely destroyed there was nothing to salvage from the ruins. most confirmed deaths so far from the city of polish

a provincial capital on the sulawesi island but reports main sparse from outlying areas such as dongarra 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 . considering the conditions out there that are all these and identified as well as victims buried beneath the ruins but there are also remote areas yet to be reached. now authorities are facing questions over whether disaster warnings were sufficient. intonations 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 its tsunami warning too soon possibly leading to a greater loss of life along the coast. i'm now joined by davey correspondent best who's on the island of sin away see. he's a facing criticism of the apparent failure to warn people of the tsunami what went wrong well in the news or has this tsunami early warning system that was put in place after that devastating tsunami back in two thousand and four that killed more than two hundred thousand people in the past there have been reports repeatedly that this system didn't work properly because of poor maintenance in some cases but this time around apparently that was not the case so apparently and that's what experts are saying that this time the tsunami early warning system worked and it sounded an alarm the problem was that that alarm in those warnings never reached the people so they couldn't seek shelter another

different explanations for this one is possibly human error and the other is that these warnings are being sent out in large part by text message to people's cell phones and because of the earthquake the cell phone coverage broke down and then they didn't didn't get the warnings but they would have to be more investigation into into this to to find out what was really responsible for the fact that the people didn't receive that tsunami warning that that tsunami early warning system sent out. do we have any more news from a face that areas including the ones outside of. well we're hearing from rescue workers that those areas are really hard to reach because infrastructure is destroyed roads are destroyed have been a lot of landslides so these remote areas there are many that rescue workers

haven't even been able to access yet and on top of that it's not only that rescue workers have been able to actually physically go there they can't even get in contact with them because the communication network is down so authorities don't even know how bad the damage is and how many people were really affected by the earthquake and by the tsunami in these areas and that's why we're hearing the indonesian government saying that they're afraid that that the death toll might as we've heard before because once they get access to these areas they might find out that many many more people were affected and vice president of indonesia said that the death toll might go into the thousands. in how. well people in for example and other areas they of course are in desperate need of food and of water and of medicine and shelter and especially for for food

and water they're going to the stores to abandon stores and the malls to get in there and it looks like looting but it's really not because they don't really have any other choice to to get food and to get water and the authorities are actually supporting that because they're saying those shop owners and everything will be compensated later the most important thing for now is that the people have enough to eat enough to drink and that's a real problem in these areas. for us. thank you. a landmark referendum on whether to change the name of the former yugoslav republic off message donya to republic of north message to india has seen a low voter turnout early counting shows ninety percent of those who voted were in favor of the change but only about a third of the electorate went to the polls with many boycotting the vote the
