of the dead. hundreds of people lost their lives on saturday night most would have scarcely known what hit them. but they said. all of a sudden the wave came i was here afterwards i ran over there to a crowd of people who were holding a celebration. a motorbike even got swept over there. what about that. part of the i came back here at two am to try and get my bike. but i couldn't because it was buried under the debris we. this is the second deadly tsunami to strike indonesia this year people are asking why the country's tsunami early warning system failed why coastal areas weren't evacuated indonesia's president djoko would had no answers. i have ordered an inspection

of all the tsunami detection equipment and the replacement of broken parts i think in the new budget i will order the replacement of old and broken equipment that can no longer be used at all but is about. tsunamis are usually triggered by earthquakes disaster experts say this one seems to have been caused by the eruption of the a not krakatoa volcano in the sunder strait just fifty kilometers away from the coast of java even properly functioning systems would not have worked the giant wave came out of the night and snatched the lives of hundreds . joining us from bundling indonesia is our correspondent covering the whole he just arrived in the tsunami region so call thank you for making time to speak to us as i mentioned you just drove through the area what have you been seeing especially now that it's stock. well it started people all around leaving their

workplaces but also people are returning from the coastal area looking for remains and what was really amazing to see is like really every couple of minutes you see spacek by with red lived on and we were told these are mainly well actually the dead bodies which are. being taken by the families maybe but bodies the which have to be identified still but also some people who are moving or being moved to bigger hospitals to get a better treatment. now you're describing very horrific scenes but which areas have been the west hit. well as far as we are informed right here is that the most casualties have happened in detail in west java because of the holidays there were many people on the beach area which faces the krakatau volcano and

that's where the most casualties happened about the exact numbers of casualties and people who were hurt in sumatra i don't really have accurate information right now i think it will take a little bit more time to get to. really perfect overview of what really has happened here now call you mentioned the crocodile volcano obviously still erupting still active and people have been asked to stay away from the coastline how big is the danger of a new tsunami. well the danger of course is always there the difference like in the studio to that tsunami three months ago in palu is that this time there was no us quake so there was no real alert there was desist i'm of warning the population has not worked because there was no quake so whenever there is a landslide happening around that volcano again

a tidal big tidal wave. people discussing one how to name a tidal wave or two not mean it can happen actually at any time again so people are very aware about that and. a little bit from there from the coastal areas so recovering from the aftermath of one disaster and sort of bracing for another what is the government saying to people to prepare them for a potential second tsunami. well did the government has not lifted the alarm here people are still with the government and the people and the rescue operations are still on isle art because exactly they expect that this could happen anytime again soon now devote community to still erupting sort of government asks people really really to stay clear from the coastal areas to avoid. deaths such a thing repeats itself especially because it's very hard to warn the population if

ever does happen again the next days col vanden hall joining us from undergoing indonesia thank you a sound look at other stories making headlines around the world turkey has sent military reinforcements nates border with syria the move comes as the u.s. prepares to withdraw its forces from syria after talks between president donald trump and takesh president and go on kurdish groups in the region fear tekkie may be preparing for a fresh assault against them. you know his right wing government coalition parties are divided over a new law extending the military draft to ultra orthodox jews. a court in pakistan has sentenced former prime minister nawaz sharif to seven years in prison for corruption that's on top of a ten year sentence on similar charges he faced in july sharif denying any
