mariko, joining us from palu.m her on the humanitarian efforts on the island later on newsday. before that, let's take a looks at some other news. the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, has accused iran of abusing the international court ofjustice and using it for political ends. his criticism follows the court's demand for the us to allow iran to import food and medicine, despite sanctions imposed by president trump. he also announced that the us would be terminating a treaty with iran that regulates economic and consular ties between the two countries. malaysia's anti—corruption agency has arrested the wife of the country's former prime minister, on suspicion of money laundering. rosmah mansor‘s husband, najib razak, was ousted in an election in may. he has already been charged with corruption. mr najib is accused of stealing money from a government investment fund, charges which he denies. cristiano ronaldo has denied raping a woman in a us hotel room almost a decade ago. in a tweet, thejuventus forward wrote

for the latest, let's go to mariko oi, who's in palu.d agencies are very frustrated because they asked really to get aid to some areas and many survivors are thirsty, hungry and have nowhere to live. indeed. we have nowhere to live. indeed. we have been talking for days about the lack of food and water. i can tell you, though, that things are slowly changing. we are starting to see the city moving again. we saw people selling food on a shriek, we saw people queueing up for petrol inside the city instead of having to go out to get it. things are slowly moving. but the body recovery operation has been quite challenging. there are still many places that the authorities have not managed to get to, even in the city —— city centre of palu, the shopping centre behind us. of palu, the shopping centre behind us. they have finally managed to get a big truck with heavy machinery in last night. we were here when they started clearing some of rubble and pretty much immediately after they found a body. it was 5pm on friday when the earthquake struck,

mariko oi is with the bbc team for us in palu.he's just outside a shopping centre that was destroyed in the disaster. that's right. as you mentioned, the deadline has now been set for friday to look for any more survivors and there are many areas that the parties have not managed to get to. i want to show you the shopping centre that we have been broadcasting from for several days now, only yesterday, they managed to get this massive crane in. of course, it has been really hard to get food and water into the city, so you can imagine how hard it is to get that into the city, and yesterday evening, when they started the cleaning operation, we were here and immediately they found one body just around there. of course, it was friday evening at around five o'clock when the earthquake hit, so there are fears that many more people might have been trapped inside and possibly died. and of course, this was notjust about the earthquake and of course this an army which wiped out some of the villages along the coastline, our correspondentjonat

the company‘s vice preident colin crowell has been speaking to mariko 0i.around political campaigns. 0ne be on politics and news around political campaigns. one of the things that is clear is that many people who use twitter, use it like a public square. so in those moment around elections, we will see a lot of the medical speech and partisans for the various prospective in that election campaign will come to the fore and they will have their peace and say their peace. —— piece. for twitter, it is public, its real—time and we‘re working hard to make sure it isa and we‘re working hard to make sure it is a safe, secure and enjoyable platform for people to have that civic conversation. but of course, some accounts have been blocked and critics would argue that you are almost acting like a gatekeeper. how do you respond to that? well certainly, any public forum and certainly, any public forum and certainly in any public square, there are rules around how people can act on twitter. we want to make sure we are enforcing rules with respect to abuse, harassment, th

the bbc‘s mariko 0i is trying to get to palu. she is currently in pasangkayu, and sent this update.l, we started driving from the city of makassar, in the south of the island, driving for around 20 hours. it is taking a lot longer than we expected but we finally arrived at this police station, where we are waiting for instructions on how to be escorted into palu and that is because of reported looting. indonesia is prone to earthquakes, many of our viewers will remember the earthquakes that hit lombok and bali and the big one in 2004, but people in poorer parts of the country simply don't have the financial means to build houses strong enough to withstand these natural disasters. at the same time we see the resilience of people, and we will continue our journey to resilience of people, and we will continue ourjourney to palu, getting more updates as we come. earlier i spoke to peter walton, the international director from the australian red cross. clearly this is going to be a massive and long—term humanitarian response, leading into a longer—term recovery. the focus of the red cros

the bbc‘s mariko 0i is trying to get to palu, she's currently in pasang kayu and sent this update. we started driving from the city of makassar, in the south of the island, driving for around 20 hours. it is taking a lot longer than we expected but we finally arrived at this police station, where we are waiting for instructions on how to be escorted into palu and that is because of reported looting. survivors of the earthquake and tsunami are desperate for food and water and there have been reports that some of the cars going into the area have been looted, so we're waiting for the escort into the area. we are still 200 kilometres away from palu, so it is still going to take several hours to get there. but along the way, babita, i saw some of the infrastructure, i guess, of indonesia's countryside, which could be quite similar to what we had in palu, some of the houses built by wood and brick, so very modestly built even along the coastline, probably not strong enough to withstand a strong earthquake or tsunami. so we have been witnessing that. but at the same time we also saw peop

our correspondent mariko oi is in the disaster zone in the city of palu.tanding outside the main mosque, or what used to be the main mosque of the city of palu, where local residents used to come and pray, and also relax by the beach. on friday afternoon, they were here to gather to pray, but also, many of them were staying back to enjoy the evening by the beach, and that's when the earthquake hit. and, of course, only after about 30 minutes later, the tsunami hit the seas just over there, and it completely destroyed the mosque. we started driving from the city of makassar yesterday afternoon. it took us about 30 hours to get to palu. it was quite a long journey. it took a lot longer than expected, because the police had to escort us into the city because of reports of looting. i keep saying looting, and i feel really bad because these are the survivors who are so desperate for water and food, and we've been asked for it as we came in, as well. they're really desperate, because it has been four days, and some of them still haven't managed to get those basi
