areas now ana how is the search for survivors going up the death toll there climbs . i spoke to the search command manager earlier today and he told us that right now it's really a race against time as they continue to search for those who have been reported missing i need to emphasize the word reported because this area of western java where the tsunami hit this isn't really a residential area where you would have a record of the how many people lived here and where they live that would give search operations an indicator of where to start looking and how many just started looking for when the tsunami hit last saturday it was a period of a holiday of gravity in this mostly touristy town there were many people who came here to watch concerts to attend parties and whatnot and there is no record of how many people there were that were here for those events and to us that's keeping

that's a blind spot for our operations people how many to go to what and where to start looking for them. many people were called off or guard on and now you traveled through the disaster zone today can you tell us what you've been seeing and what you've been hearing. i'll go first to what we've been hearing we continue to hear the rumble of another cut away from here in western java where we are and that is an indication that the volcano remains active and with ortiz have said that as long as a volcano remains active there will be a possibility of future action amin's and that's again a little bit of uncertainty and a point of anxiety here because the last in the army that hit last saturday there was no advance warning and. candle has been active for the last couple of months. wasn't even the strongest eruption so while people are like standing on their tool . right now whether you know there's going to be

a next and i mean while we continue to hear i'm not from being in the. building in the background is that the only worry for indonesian food and water is also a growing concern how are the relief officials dealing with. the relief operations they told us earlier today has started to come and they have started setting up soup kitchens in the various evacuation centers but the concern now is are those the areas that remain isolated because they are very remote and the rains continue to do in the hearing operations so some roads remain impossible just in that you know even for us as we traveled from one point to another it was almost like we were rolling through the traffic the streets are just mostly two lanes and there's been continuous rain since this morning and yesterday that have to be here in operations making some roads continue to be possible. have

usually we are thing a fan to close rally on wall street are not so sure sounds if we're to wall street this year and has childcare tomorrow he definitely have and with two big things that the basically the president has created two big problems one of course is the current government shutdown that you have just mentioned budget standoff here he wants five billion dollars for his wall against mexico of course he's not going to get that money and now we have a government shutdown which is costly and it hurts the american economy and the other thing and that's even more important for the markets is his constant attacks against the federal reserve now the federal reserve has of course in twenty eight. hiked up interest rates four times from a record low to a now more realistic rate and the president has made it very clear that he doesn't like that he keeps attacking the fed and that the stabilizes the fed and the markets does he have

a point though when he criticizes the fed he does not really because of course what the fed does with hiking up interest rates is not necessarily good for wall street however and that's really important the fed's job is not to make wall street happy the fed has to jobs keep the economy strong enough to support full employment or at least as low unemployment as possible. and the other job is to keep inflation in check which means in this particular case under two percent that is the mandate that the federal reserve has the federal reserve's job is not to keep wall street happy to create a boom in the stock market was so so there is really no point in president trump's criticism here there are also reports that the u.s. president has been privately difficult things trying to fire a federal chairman jerome powell can he do that and with something like that happen he can't first of all he can't of course because the federal reserve is an

independent institution and the president cannot just go ahead and fire somebody and he has learned about that apparently in the last two days because he has said just yesterday that he apparently never even discussed that he doesn't want to fire him backtracking from what the media has heard from sources inside the white house if you would fire drum paul of course that would definitely plunge the market into more chaos because it would be the ultimate step to completely destabilize an institution death is there to destabilize the economy so that would be technically it is aster but fortunately this is a hypothetical a very merry christmas thank you very much from the you're looking. at a time when many are focused on gifts and fifteen pope francis has used his christmas eve mass to urge people in the developed world to follow a simpler life that the catholic church told worshippers in the vatican that they

should give up greed and gluttony and remember to share here's more. in front of some ten thousand followers in sin peter's basilica pope francis continued the theme of his papacy criticizing consumerism and its impact on humanity francis made his message direct and personal. let us ask ourselves do i really need all these material objects and complicated additions to live. can i manage without all these unnecessary extras and live a life of greater simplicity. condemning the widening gap between rich and poor francis encourage the faithful to give and share instead of devouring and hoarding . mankind became greedy and for ratios. in our day for many people life's meaning is

found in positions in having an excess of material objects and insatiable greed marks all human history even today when paradoxically a few dine in luxury while too many go without the daily bread needed to survive. it's the sixth christmas peace service for the eighty two year old pontiff today he will deliver his christmas day message instant peter's square. has twenty thing comes to an end we're looking back at all of the highlights of data here in one of our stories we visited a radio station for older people and father and get both the less there is and the presenters are well into retirement and one thing that they are united about. at the vessel's. one of angel radios top presenters arrives at the studio in the southern english town of haven't. eighty six year old mill to
