a search operation for her but before that he told us that immediately he sought the help of his neighbors and other loved ones in the village they were digging through the debris with their bare hands to see if they could find a nice up and then after that the military came to help them and again he asked for their help in finding them so we see that read it to have some looking for their loved ones are trying every means possible within what's closest to them and what can offer the most immediate help and then elevating these concerns to the origins . so there are fears of another tsunami on a walk the feeling where you are. well right now you know there have been continuous fears of another tsunami hovering over us especially since we continue to hear the rumbling of krakatau across from us and also already say that as long as a volcano is active there might be the possibility of another tsunami but today
11:06 am
residents have to contend with another more immediate concern which is the floods if you look behind me you'll see that roads like this have been flooded up to about need or waist high some villages have been flooded off to their rooftops this was brought about by the continuous rain which was torrential this morning and brought these floods into these roads which further is him during access to for aid workers and relief goods to the affected communities so right now we see some kind of twin danger or disaster that aid and residents have to deal with the possibility of another second tsunami and these floods that have been blocking access to roads and just making life a little bit more a little bit harder yet again for them honest antos and one in western java thank you for that report. now to some of the stories making news around the world. syrian state media phase the country's air defense has lost lives in terms that

says misdialed fired by israeli warplanes they released images of surface to air missiles near the capital damascus several soldiers were reportedly injures independent observers say israel was targeting an arms devil used by hezbollah to re-inforce the. u.s. immigration authorities say an eight year old boy from guatemala have died in khost today he died a few hours after being admitted to a new mexico hospital with a cold and fever the second death of a child immigrant in the u.s. detention this more. japan is to resume commercial whaling from next july although it will only hold the animals in its own territorial waters and exclusive economic zone for decades japan has been allowed an exception to the international whaling commission's ban on whale hunting saying it only did as for scientific research now it's also pulling out of the agreement.
11:08 am
i think of it's a centuries old tradition one that japan is intent on keeping alive. after failing to get the commission's approval to resume commercial whaling japan has announced it is cutting ties with the international conservation body before we will. focus exclusively on the protection of whales would not take concrete steps towards reaching a common position. at the international whaling commission meeting in september it became clear that it was not possible for state with different views to co-exist and that led to this decision. made the move has been heavily criticized by countries such as australia which urged to pan to reconsider one environmental organization accused japan of breaking the law. firms to pay the international waiting is very grave and serious international whaling commission is the global
11:09 am
body agreed under international rules to be responsible for the conservation and management of whales japan is rejecting that international law what they will be doing is pirates whaling and it should be condemned by the international community . but thirty years after signing a moratorium on the practice japan says endangered whales have had time to regenerate. despite complying with the ban for decades japan continued to kill whales in the name of scientific research a program critics say has been used as a cover for commercial hunting. japan says whaling will be limited to its own territorial waters and economic zone but that's unlikely to stop activists from trying to end whaling altogether. and he sends it out of the capital
11:10 am
khartoum used tear gas and fires in the air to disperse towson's of protesters attempting to march on the presidential palace they were demanding the resignation of omar al bashir has been president for almost thirty years organizers say hundreds of protesters were injured and at least a c. received gunshot wounds but. how real how real freedom is their cry for a week now unrest has been spreading through sudan fueled by rising prices and food shortages and ballooning into calls for regime change. as the president's convoy through the streets of khartoum one woman. who's. part christmas day rally president omar al bashir clutching his walking stick struck as a fine note. i tell you all those who oppose our
11:11 am
country are traitors. outside the presidential palace protest was met with punishment police fired live i'm going to. violently beating protesters. according to amnesty international dozens have been killed or injured in the crackdown. under the country's military dictatorship dissent has been quashed with opposition leaders forced to continue to fight for change in exile. we want to democratic pluralistic city it plans for a new government new laws and a new transitional constitution have begun with this. takes hold i'm frustration grooved protesters have vowed to keep going on top.
11:12 am
even in the face of tear gas. and i'm joined now by my colleague christine one of our studio for more on this story now christine obviously the protests have morphed into calls for a new government and the opposition has voiced their support for this would you say that this is still a grassroots people's movement you know that's a very important question and and in fact if you look at people and you listen to the things that they're saying it very much still is the reason that got people out of the houses when they came out about seven days ago is still the reason they're coming out and people say the country's economic woes aren't going to change until we have political change and so yes we see a lot more coordination from the unions for example of the voice of support by the opposition but this is still very much sudanese people coming out and saying all governments failed us economically surely political change is what we need now president omar al bashir has promised economic reforms what is it promising now
11:13 am
that's a very interesting question listening to a city he came out and he said to people i will be changing things economically the people can imagine what exactly he's talking about he was very scant with the details but it's been twenty nine years of omar al bashir and people think there are no more new ideas that he could possibly present the. commodity shortages in the country the super hyper inflation which will prices tripping over night people woke up and a bridge was suddenly three sudanese ponds that was one sudanese pound the day before so these are some of things that people are going through this also against the backdrop of prevailing economic woes when the country had a suspicion of the south in two thousand and eleven a lot of oil reserves went with that and so this is a struggling economy and people just don't believe that omar al bashir can do anything at this stage to change that around and they think new ideas need to come in by the way of a new government how much pressure is omar al bashir under right now and we saw people come out in two thousand and thirteen and that was really the last time we
11:14 am
saw crowds of this size and scale but that was also in response to a measure of price increases ok so a mild but she came out and said you know prize the price of fuel was going up and people responded to that this time it's morphed into anti-government sentiment and that is a real concern because it's the first time we've seen this kind of anti the message went against of. it is worrying and you can see in the sense how he's responded the security forces amnesty international says about thirty seven people have been killed by security forces and they believe that number is going to rise and so yet this is the first time he's faced dissent of this sort christine one vive thank you very much for joining me in studio. that's it for now from database thanks for joining us with pictures of young pandas having fun in the snow at washington d.c. think that something.
11:15 am
