'cause indonesia has everything.s got human rights abuses. there's a lot of problems here, but one of the great things going on is these elections are free and fair, and everybody knows it. >> anthony: a popular president. relative peace in the land. free speech? >> joe: oh, absolutely. >> anthony: but, there are two subjects that there is a real reluctance to talk about and reconcile. and it's kind of weird the years 1965 and 1975, there isn't much appetite to look at that. why? >> tom: for reputational reasons as much as anything, but also potentially legal reasons as well. so the two main perpetrators of the massacre were the military, and the mass islamic groups. groups who are moderate these days, but at that time, and with that hysteria, they were involved in sort of this brutal pogrom. this was sort of hand to hand, slitting throats, garroting people, burying them in mass graves. very nasty, nasty stuff. and then the second reason is there was an intensive campaign of propaganda which portrayed this massacre a

a apparently indonesia is now accepting that aid will no bastion why indonesia hesitated so long.it's not unusual for indonesia to hesitate when it comes to accepting international aid if you think of the the earthquake in limbo which happened just several weeks ago they didn't they didn't ask for except international help there possibly they want to show that they're up to the task and they can and they can do it and two times i believe on the ground and they saw that they had been doing on their own and that they needed help from outside it's been nearly six days since the earthquake what kind of help to people in the disaster zone need most right now. i think. the thing that they need at the. that they need the most ever at the moment is water food also and shelter people don't want to stay in their houses even if the houses aren't destroyed they want to stay inside because they're afraid we've spoken to many many people who want that put inside a house because there are still many aftershocks and people are mortified and there because of the earthquake and what and what they e

we just heard an update from officials in indonesia. they are saying 48,000 people are displaced, out of their homes. we know that thousands of homes and buildings were destroyed between the earthquake and the tsunami. these are people who are now seeking shelter outside largely thousands of them going to outdoor shelters. you've got a number of people also who have homes that haven't been fully destroyed, but are too fearful to go back indoors because of the possibilities of aftershocks. the rescue crews are working feverishly to try to get to the areas where there is the greatest need. you point out the fact there is destruction of infrastructure. there are downed bridges, there are land slides that have blocked roads. that makes it hard for the crews to get in there to do the work of sifting through the debris to try and find survivors. add to that the part that they are having difficulty bringing in heavy machinery and enough fuel. there is an urgent need, george, for resources to work on the rescue and recovery efforts. but also fo

as you'd expect indonesia has systems in place for when earthquakes happen.ection buoys worked. richard lister has more on this. this ring of fire around this season sees most of the seismic activity will stop any geological fault lines alone, and this one triggered friday's earthquake is the most active. it runs right through the town so people here were well aware of the threat. but this footage shows that even as the waves surge towards, people were still driving along the sea front. unaware of the danger. so why did the warning system failed? the tsunami alarm network was put in place around indonesia after the devastating tsunami in 200a. the system relies ona tsunami in 200a. the system relies on a series of sensors on the sea bed. when a sensor detects an earthquake, it assesses the threat and sends it to what is floating on the surface. it then alert the satellite which transmits a warning. but in 2016, and was revealed that none of indonesia's warnings were working. either damaged by fishermen ora working. either damaged by fishermen or a lack of mai

said would supply indonesia's early warning system a welcome to g.w. what went wrong. so we're trying to see i mean the warning system depends on many and millions of the chain so the beginning of a seismic sensors would pick up a signal from the earthquake the drone shaking from the earthquake and then they make a location and determine the magnitude of the earthquake and then based on that information within five minutes of your quick occurring the one sentence you need to have a beacon kitty has to decide the issue of warning they did issue a warning for was of quake based on its size. and then it is up to in the way of local authorities in the different islands to evacuate people and get them off the beaches and it seems from the reports that at least in some places this last element of giving the warning and locally failed so it was as far as you can tell the system the you provided worked you say the bits that went wrong were out of your hands it was developed to give indonesians and the technical part of a system work but of course for the old system to work or
