unaccounted for and more than eight hundred are reporters injured. and rescue teams digging with their bare hands looking for anyone left alive under the rubble but it's been since anyone has been discovered until saturday this was a beach resort now there are just the remains of what was once he hung and boats those who survived a terrified. hundred my mom frayed sometimes i ask my son in law to check our house i don't know what to say i'm really afraid i have not gone home in the last two days. to indonesia it's yet another natural disaster. president yoko we doto is yet again thrust into the role of consoler in chief as he visited the disaster zone it was at pains to come anxious
12:03 pm
locals worried about the prospect of another tsunami. i advise people to remain calm but be cautious not to be provoked by misleading information i have also ordered the meteorological agency to keep informing people about the situation including the weather conditions as soon as possible this is what scientists believe likely cause saturday's tsunami and that krakatau volcano is for two of the rugged underwater triggering a landslide and the killer waves now authorities are warning indonesians to stay away from the disaster zone as the volcanoes eruption continues there's the risk of further disaster. more on this story we're joined by at risk from indonesia in our barn is very risky as we just saw president joko widodo has visited the disaster zone and he promised to ensure indonesia's tsunami warning systems were up to scratch so what's the problem with them now. it's simple we
12:04 pm
don't have enough money or they don't have enough money so we did have early warning system back in two thousand and four after the tsunami in our ship but the system stopped working in two thousand and twelve and up until now every warning that's being sent by the meteorology agency b.s. on simulation so actually in two thousand and thirteen indonesian and us scientists from the university of pittsburgh would be to follow up. early warning detector for illusia these on hydrophone underwater hi there forms but the problem was it was because of lack of funding and resources and now we see how it could be it could be used in such an event in the asia. but even at the tsunami warning systems were working could they have predicted an event like saturday tsunami thought to have been caused by a volcano. it's very unlikely because even the new system which based
12:05 pm
on hydrophone an underwater hydrophone make reforms and could only give another three to three minutes of additional time for people to react or to save themselves and. it's usually every tsunami that occurred in the asian last couple of years was always preceded by an earthquake but this wasn't a case in the streets because it was three. underwater landslides caused by four killer option so it was really really hard to predict such an event if we have already capacity to do it. how are indonesian taking this news and reacting to the debate about the countries that early warning system are they angry . well this is the fifth largest natural disaster this year in asia and people stop being angry at anything anymore so they are wondering why there was no early warning through tsunamis but they were slowly they understood that such an
12:06 pm
event is really really hard to predict and it was the president said it was beyond our capacity to predict such an event so even if we have sort of the early warning system. people don't think there will be enough time for victims to run or to you know self himself. it's been a rough year obviously for indonesians however they were a culprit from the past disasters. well it's really really slow it has been the slow progress in a long book and also in central sulawesi where it has you know. quake and tsunami in june and in september. but the government the problem is the people that. are in the next year or two for you know the flipping process. to fasten it up but that's something that we still have to see risky you know from
