as mentioned by the disaster management agency there are indeed. meteorology couper agency has come in for a lot of criticism because of the fact that a tsunami warning was issued and then subsequently taken back after about thirty four minutes now it's unclear whether or not this didn't in fact cause confusion on the ground because of course communications were were fairly cut out any way in the earthquake however. including at least one parliamentarian his family are extensions of the way sea have called for the major logical agency to be held accountable so certainly they do have some very difficult questions to be answering absolutely and in jakarta thank you very much thank you. now to some of the other stories making news around the world a powerful typhoon is hurdling towards the japanese mainland bringing chaos to a region still reeling from a storm last month high winds have halted air and train services in parts of the country three hundred thousand homes are without power and authorities have ordered the evacuation of more than half a mil
