spoke hopes to make his three wins on the bounce. the winner. and i'm christine one go out welcome to the program. indonesian rescue work has also changed for survivors in the office a matter of a devastating tsunami which struck a busy tourist region on saturday nights the official death toll is now two hundred and twenty two the tsunami swift the coastline the longest and a strange hitting sumatra and java it is believed to have been triggered by an eruption off and island located though which sent a wall of force a crashing onto shore. and besides hotels would destroy to along the coast which is popular with tourists dozens of

people remain unaccounted for and more than eight hundred are reported injured. carried to safety after the disaster clinics like this one in western java are treating an influx of tsunami victims. others have found refuge in temporary shelters after the waves demolished hundreds of homes and buildings. it was at the moment i heard people shouting to run away and i saw the water had gone up to the mainland and the hotel had been flooded by water the waves dragged away around two hundred people and learn from all that. this is the aftermath at a beach resort where a band gave a concert as the waves smashed on to shore. one

survivor described the moment of impact. when i saw the water come in. about knee high i tried to run but suddenly the current drag me and i was drifting away. combing through the rubble for victims could still take days or weeks there were no tsunami warnings the warning systems are built to activate when earthquakes occur but this time of all can a corruption is thought to have triggered the tsunami. these pictures were captured by indonesian conservation officials to show the volcano in question krakatau erupting one day before the tsunami occurred. tsunami warnings on the islands of java and sumatra remain in effect as activity at the volcano persists. question asked chad much and is

a freelance journalist in the indonesian capsule so we spoke in the end he gave me he's assessment off what the all fours he's doing to get supplies to survive his in the region to work out a. mission also some rescue have been there since this morning so all i was. you know about. the that and then bess as well then. basically safe seoul and also the. agency also indebted to assess. the damage that's. in yes and. that's in need the problem is. this is quite new. or else musically if there isn't a. this about me it's medicine nope wait before the tsunami but we stand this

warning and all made a slower quake and that is a warning when it's a lot recently. for more i'm joined by robert feist's associate professor off natural hazards that they take in the united states welcome mystifies what do we know about the cause of this tsunami well it becomes clear now through a satellite imagery that a large chunk of the world can know that erupting slower sliding into the sea last night creating a very large tsunami how common are tsunamis that are caused by the cane knows and can we it's takes a second one. that is a very good question. we really do not know many tsunami generated by volcanic eruptions or associated with a kind of well kind of corruption something most likely will carry corruptions to

not in the first order or by the primary process generate. tsunamis but thank all of his due. if the activity at that at this of what kind of continuous we we may face another large chunk of the flank to collapse and create another tsunami that's totally possible ok mystifies we know that a tsunami warning was not issued before the waves of arrival why did systems fail to detect the ways. to nami wanting systems are usually associated with large earthquakes and earthquakes are the most common source of tsunamis but there was not a large earthquake there was there may have been assessment activities associated due to the what kind of corruption but this wasn't activity is too small to trigger a tsunami warning so it was a silent event and no tsunami warning system on the globe would have responded to this this is one of these events where you know you cannot really do much. aside

from hoping that little people as possible are using a live in their property. which having said that can warning systems be improved. that's a very difficult question and i don't see necessarily a technical solution for this why this might be possible by looking at the seismic tremors that. are associated with what can a corruption but they are so uncertain death so difficult to predict when this flung collapse occurs that it might just create more warnings and in the case where no tsunami is actually generated duck from a public education perspective it might be not good because if a wave generated and it's been proceeded with many false warning then people might not go out of the way or move out of the way anyway so i think. a better way might be to caution the public and rely on public education purposes the.

kind of corruptions or the what kind of activity has been known and at the same spot in eight hundred eighty three the original krakow a tower. of all can erupt and explode in an generated large tsunami in that area and maybe through public education purpose proces sort of that knowledge can be transferred to our generation and then hopefully people are more while conscientious about their choices of war day where they go especially when there is a kind of to really going on for the past six months and just know that a possible tsunami might occur. all right robert feist's associate professor of natural has it's at the genius heck we appreciate you coming on for us thank you thanks for having me. now to some of the other stories making news around the world turkey is reportedly massing troops near a town in northern syria held by
