1:03 am
know so little might 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 palu a provincial capital on the pseudo ways the island. but reports may inspire us 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 bodies and identify 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. internees as 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. there are i'm now joined by data of your correspondent bestie and heartache who's in there on the island offset away see. all floridians are facing criticism over 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
1:05 am
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 and those warnings never reached the people so they couldn't seek shelter and other 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 will 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 tsunami early warning system sent out. do we have any more news from the affected areas including the ones outside of. well we're hearing from rescue
1:06 am
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. as we 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.
1:07 am
well people in for example and in other areas they of course are in desperate need of food and of water and of medicine and shelter and especially for the for food and water that they're going to the stores to the abandoned 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 but they'll 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. all right that's. it for us. thank you. a landmark referendum on whether to change the name of the former yugoslav republic of macedonia to republic of north macedonia has seen low voter
1:08 am
turnout early results showed the vast majority of those who did vote back the change but only about a third of the electorate twinge to the polls the country's pro western government hoped a positive result would help settle a decades long dispute with neighboring greece which itself as a province called macedonia this could pave the way to nato and e.u. membership message indian prime minister has all runs i have said he will last parliament to ratify the bush. at a press conference on sunday nights i have described the referendum as a clear success despite the low turnout glad that we're going to the house of the citizens is clear all political parties should join the process towards this shadow as prime minister of this proud and european macedonia i am calling on all responsible leaders every m.p. to unite and take our country where it belongs in the e.u. and nato the part where even up.
1:09 am
with this to me it's putting turnout at less than forty percent a clear majority of votes has option to stay away from the polls and i spoke to a correspondent bars if he in the macedonian capital school i asked him why so many people decided not to take part in the referendum. well basically there are multiple reasons for that first of all vote the main opposition party of a matter of dopamine and the president you are now off called for this boycott of the referendum then we should also have in mind that these shoes really emotional for most of the citizens of the republic of macedonia so it's not really an easy job to get the people in big numbers to vote on a referendum or which way they are supposed to change their country's name and many think they're also losing their identity so it's a really complicated issue and one of the number say today is that the people are
1:10 am
really uncertain about what this is. concerning their identity with disagreement with with greece and what should their future hold as even without the e.u. inmates in the ration they're still worried that this might be for the market for them in the future all right very quickly bar as the prime minister appears to be optimistic about macedonia as the european future how realistic is that. well it's still realistic i mean if prime minister's wife can push through the parliament with this name change or agreement with greece she has the right to be optimistic and the reality is that he has he cast control over seventy m.p.'s in the parliament he needs the support of another ten probably from the nationalists conservative party if you can get that he can push through the elements as they call the necessary constitutional changes if he doesn't as he has said tonight he's
