And formula one bowl champion Lewis Hamilton tied to grip on this years title thanks to a big favor from hes miss a piece teammate well bring you the action from the russian property. Im christine well go back into the program the death toll from a major earthquake that triggered a tsunami on the indonesian island. Has risen to more than Eight Hundred the countrys Vice President has warned the number could soul into the Thousands Hospitals all struggling to cope with the injured and launch of the city. In ruins. Combing through the rubble for victims the dead and those who might have survived. The collapse total impulse to city has been one focus of the efforts
dozens were reportedly still trapped inside. Meanwhile evacuations by plane have been underway for those fortunate to have survived this dual disaster some were injured as an earthquake sent buildings tumbling others a tsunami waves pummeled the shore. The destruction has left people without food and water in the areas hardest hit. Authorities are attempting to provide enough aid and supplies but the damage to infrastructure has slowed their efforts. Witnesses have described the moment the seven point five magnitude earthquake struck. Me that when the quake hit i was doing my shopping suddenly everything went dark and the walls started falling around us it was horrible. Most confirmed deaths so far from the city of palo
a provincial capital on sulawesi island but reports remain sparse from outlying areas such as dongarra a region close to the earthquakes epicenter and home to some Three Hundred Thousand people. Were expecting a rise in the number of dead even though we would hope the figures remain the same. One. Considering the conditions out there that are bodies and identified as well as victims buried beneath the ruins but there are also remote areas yet to be reached. Now authorities are facing questions over whether Disaster Warnings were sufficient indonesias Disaster Mitigation spokesman tweeted this video saying it shows how people were at the beach as the tsunami waves rolled then with no sirens going off. Officials are being criticized for allegedly lifting a tsunami. The warning to soon possibly leading to
a greater loss of life along the coast. Here. Im now joined by deja vu correspondent best whos been on the island of civil way sea. All the way hes a facing criticism over the apparent failure to warn people of the tsunami what went wrong well in the news or has this tsunami Early Warning system that was put in place after that devastating tsunami back in Two Thousand And Four that killed more than Two Hundred Thousand people in the past there have been reports repeatedly that this system didnt work properly because of poor maintenance in some cases but this time around apparently that was not the case so apparently and thats what experts are saying that this time the tsunami Early Warning system worked and it sounded an alarm the problem was that that alarm in those warnings never reached the people so they couldnt seek shelter
another different explanations for this one is possibly human error and the other is that these warnings are being sent out in large part by text message to peoples cell phones and because of the earthquake the Cell Phone Coverage broke down and then they didnt didnt get the warnings but they would have to be more investigation into into this to to find out what was really responsible for the fact that the people didnt receive that Tsunami Warning that that tsunami Early Warning system sent out. Do we have any more news from the affected areas including the ones outside of. Well were hearing from Rescue Workers that those areas are really hard to reach because infrastructure is destroyed roads are destroyed have been a lot of landslides so these remote areas there are many that Rescue Workers havent even been able to access yet and on top of that its not only that rescue
workers have been able to actually physically go there they cant even get in contact with them because the Communication Network is down so authorities dont even know how bad the damage is and how many people were really affected by the earthquake and by the tsunami in these areas and thats why were hearing the indonesian government saying that theyre afraid that that the death toll might soar as we heard before because once they get access to these areas they might find out that many many more people were affected and Vice President of indonesia said that the death toll might might go into the thousands. In how. Well people in palo for example and in other areas they of course are in desperate need of food and water and medicine and of shelter and especially for the for food and water that theyre going to the stores to the abandoned stores
and the malls to get in there and it looks like looting but its really not because they dont really have any other choice to to get food and to get water and the authorities are actually supporting that because theyre saying those shop owners and everything but theyll be compensated later the most important thing for now is that the people have enough to eat enough to drink and thats a real problem in these areas. All right thats. It for us. Thank you now. Change the name of the Former Yugoslav Republic Of Macedonia to north. Message dunja has attracted a weak Voter Turnout on sunday the countrys pro western government hoped the result would help settle a decades long dispute with neighboring greece which itself as a province called macedonia this could pave the way to nato e.

parliamentary elections so its a complicated situation what does the government use really the results to push this issue today and.

Definitely not the final step this was actually the Second Step The First step was the signing of the agreement in june we degree government this was the second step for many it was the most important step but lets just say not everything is lost because the third and the final step is the parliament where the government needs to tour the majority in order to push this main change through all the constitutional changes and everything that needs to be done so theres still a chance for this to go through but the government or the Prime Minister needs the support for for at least nine or ten m.
