this title back to a big favor from his misstatements teammate well bring you the action from the russian brand pre. Im christine will welcome to the program the death toll from a major earthquake that triggered a tsunami on the indonesian island of slow way sea has risen to more than Eight Hundred the countrys president has warned the number could soar into the thousands hospitals all struggling to cope with the injured and large parts of the city are in ruins. Combing through the rubble for victims the dead and those who are marked have survived. This collapsed hotel in palos 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 disaster some are injured as an earthquake sent buildings tumbling others as Tsunami Waves pummeled the shore. The destruction has left people without food and water and the areas hardest hit. Was the authorities are attempting to provide enough aid and supplies. But the damage to infrastructure has slowed their efforts. Are the seven point five magnitude quake left many survivors desperate. So i mean he said dad you are that we went to the beach because my daughter in law has the goods told there we looked for her but couldnt find her but your lot you know so little might is only our house was still there we could go home unfortunately it was completely destroyed there was nothing to salvage from the
ruins. Most confirmed deaths so far from the city of palu a provincial capital on the sulawesi island. But reports may inspire us 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 million. Considering the conditions are there there are bodies on 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. Intonations Disaster Mitigation spokesman tweeted this video saying it shows how people were at the beach as the Tsunami Waves rolled in with no sirens going off. Officials are being criticized for allegedly lifting its Tsunami Warning too soon possibly leading to a greater loss of life along the coast. There im now joined by the correspondent best and heartache whos in there on the island offset away see. All four of these are facing criticism over the apparent failure to warn people of the tsunami what went wrong. Well in these are 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 people 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 the tsunami Early Warning system sent out. Do we have any more news from the affected areas and 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 havent 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 the death toll. As weve 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 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 of water and of medicine and 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. A Landmark Referendum on whether to change the name of the former yugoslav republic of macedonia to republic of North Macedonia has seen low Voter Turnout in early results showed the vast majority of those who did vote backed the change but only about a third of the Electorate Twinge to the polls the countrys pro western government hoped a positive result would help settle
a decades long to speed with neighboring greece which itself as a province called message this could pave the way to nato and e. U. Membership message anion Prime Minister has all runs i have said he will last parliament to ratify the bush at a Press Conference On Sunday Nights i have described the referendum as a clear success despite the low turnout. Glad that were going to get to this house of the citizens is clear all Political Parties should join in the process towards this shadow as Prime Minister of this proud and european macedonia i am calling on all responsible leaders every m. P. To unite and take our country where it belongs in the e. U. And nato. Will even out. Well this to mates putting turnout at less than forty percent a clear majority of votes has opted to stay away from the polls and i spoke to
a correspondent bars in the macedonian Capital School yeah i asked him why so many people decided not to take part in the referendum. Well basically there are multiple reasons for that first of all both the Main Opposition Party of a man of dopamine and the president you enough called for this boycott of the referendum then we should also have in mind that these shoes really emotional for most of the citizens of the republic of macedonia so its not really an easy job to get the people in big numbers to vote on a referendum on which they they are supposed to change their countrys name and many think theyre also losing their identity so its a really complicated issue and what the numbers say today is that the people are really uncertain about what this is. Concerning their identity with disagreement with with greece and what should their future hold as even without the e. U. And nato integration theyre still worried that this might be for the market for them in the future all right very quickly bar as the Prime Minister appears to be optimistic about macedonia as the European Future how realistic is that. Well its still realistic i mean if Prime Ministers wife can push through the parliament with this name change or agreement with greece she has the right to be optimistic and the reality is that he has he has control over seventy m. P. s in the parliament he needs the support of another ten probably from the nationalists Conservative Party if you can get that he can push through the. Necessary constitutional changes if he doesnt as he has said tonight hes going to spend the food the week trying to do that if not there will be early parliamentary elections and most of them.
