strong aftershocks have continued to hit the indonesian island of sulawesi, where an earthquake
and tsunami on friday killed hundreds of people.
the indonesian vice president has warned the number killed could rise to thousands.
over 400 are known to have died just in the city of palu. rescuers have yet to reach the
neighbouring coastal district of donggala, which is home to 300,000 people.
rebecca henschke reports from the island of sulawesi.
it is the view now that gives you a powerful sense of this earthquake.
a shopping centre, buckled.
a road bridge, laid to waste.
and what about the damage beyond here, in
outlying areas? that picture is still not clear.
the earthquake also triggered as yunnan me which brought waves ten feet high.

outside the hospital, patients are having to be treated in the open, too.
the devastation has also made it difficult to get aid in but the airport has now reopened.
meanwhile, the search is on for survivors.
0ne charity has warned that this crisis may only be getting worse.
aulia arriani is a spokesperson for the red cross injakarta.
a short time ago she told me what she'd heard from her team in the affected area.
the communication wasn't connected in palu. now the army search and rescue and the red
cross are now focusing on reaching effective people who might still be trapped under the
college people —— college building.
that is the main focus of oui' building.
that is the main focus of our response.
from what your team could tell you, are enough people there to help?
sorry? are there enough emergency workers and military workers to help the citizens
of palu ? military workers to help the citizens of palu?
yes, we work together with the army and search and rescue.
like i explained earlier, we are now focusing on evacuating effectuate —— affected people
because there are still a lot
of people that could be trapped under the collapsed buildings and debris.
this morning, my team also mentioned that some of the dead people still need to be evacuated
because some of the dead people are still lying on the streets in some areas.
there simply aren't the emergency workers to deal with that.
may i ask you about another area which is even more populated and thatis which is even
more populated and that is donggala.
they haven't reached donggala yet because the road is a bit harder to access.
some of the area is covered by fallen
trees.
they have the hope that they could pass through but they still can't get to donggala.
what sort of conditions to —— with the conditions are your team having to deal with?
what about petrol for vehicles?
according to the national disaster agency, the power is still off that the communications

to get fuel in palu, you need to drive to three hours.
it is in west sulawesi.
we have not much field in palu as well.
elon musk, the head of the the electric car—maker tesla has agreed to stand down as chairman
of the company and pay a $20 million fine to settle his dispute with the us securities
and exchange commission.
the case stems from a tweet by mr musk in august, saying that he wanted to take the
company back into private hands.
tesla will also pay a fine of $20 million.
lebo diseko has more he's known for pushing boundaries when it comes to tech innovation,
leading the way on electric cars and space exploration.
but now, it seems elon musk has pushed too far. in august, he tweeted, saying he would
take tesla back into private ownership, at a price of $420 a share.
and, crucially, he said he had the funding secured.
the stock—market regulator said that was false and misleading, and so they charged
him.
we allege that musk arrived at the price of $420 by assuming a 20% premium of tesla's
then—existing share price, then rounding up to $420 because of the significance of
that
number in marijuana culture, and his belief that his girlfriend would be amused by it.
and as we've said before in connection with other matters, neither celebrity status or
a reputation as a technological innovator provide protection from federal securities
laws.
trailblazer or not, musk has tested shareholder patience recently, with antics like smoking
marijuana during an interview.
and he has been sued for libel for making allegations against one of the thai cave rescuers.
things could have been much worse for musk — the regulator wanted to remove him as
ceo as well.
he will now stay in that position while stepping down as chairman.
but with the company's image so closely linked to his own, investors might be wondering if
that is a good thing.

women across brazil are taking part in protests against the far right frontrunner in next
week's presidential elections.
jair bolsonaro, who was released earlierfrom hospital after being stabbed, is leading in
opinion polls.
the bbc's south america correspondent katy watson is in rio dejaneiro.
it's notjust women on this march.
partners, children, babies, have also come along for support.
everyone's wearing a badge saying #elenao — not him.
some people are wearing t—shirts saying "i only vote for people who respect me."
marches are taking place across brazil, as well as abroad.
it started with a facebook group, asking people to come out onto the streets.
all: ele nao! ele nao! in a matter of weeks, the facebook page has grown to nearly four
million members.
people here are angry.
mr bolsonaro's most famous about his comments about a congresswoman, saying she didn't deserve
to be raped, she was ugly.
that said, mr bolsonaro has a lot of support.
he's expected to win the most votes in the first round.
he's a politician that, his supporters say, will change brazil. this country is deeply
divided.
the fbi has started
its investigation of sexual misconduct allegations against president trump's nominee for the
us supreme court, brett kavanaugh.
a lawyer for deborah ramirez, the second woman to bring the accusations, said his client
has been approached by fbi agents and has agreed to be interviewed.
the us senatejudiciary committee has approved mr kavanaugh's nomination but a full senate
vote has been delayed, pending the outcome.
mr kavanaugh vigorously denies the allegations against him.
president trump touched on the controversy at a rally in west virginia a short time ago.
on thursday, the american people saw the brilliant and really incredible character, quality,
and courage, of our nominee for the united states supreme court, judge brett kavanaugh.
applause and cheering.
true, true.
a vote forjudge brett kavanaugh is a vote to confirm one of the most accomplished legal
minds of our time — a jurist with a sterling record of public service.
you know, for ten years — he's a young guy, but for ten years, they've been talking about
him.
longer than ten years.
i don't know him, but i have heard about him a lot, because they are all saying that he
should be on the united states supreme court.
that is why put up.
i will tell you — i will tell you — i will tell you he has suffered.
a woman in the far east of russia has told the bbc she recognises one of the key suspects
in the salisbury novichok attack as a decorated military officer.
the bbc travelled across six time zones east of moscow to a village to verify research
carried out by the bellingcat
investigative website, which this week published what it claims is the true identity of one
of the suspects.
while russia continues to deny any involvement in the poisoning, we went to beryozovka, the
first television crew to visit the village.
0ur moscow correspondent, sarah rainsford, reports.
in the far east of russia, along its border with china, we went searching for clues to
the salisbury poisoning.
thatjourney led to this tranquil village, almost 5000 miles from moscow. it's where
a russian military intelligence officer, anatoliy chepiga, grew up.
this week, the investigative team at bellingcat suggested that colonel chepiga, seen here,
is the true identity of a key suspect in the salisbury attack.
british officials haven't disputed that.
that suspect is now calling himself ruslan boshirov.
so our team showed those pictures to residents in colonel chepiga's old village.
some didn't know him.
those who did were nervous of our camera.
we agreed they'd remain anonymous.
translation: it's him, but much older.
and this man identified the man wanted by british police as anatoliy chepiga.
translation: i know where his parents used to live.
he was a military man, an officer.
he fought in war zones, then he was in moscow.
the chepiga family are hard to find.
at the firm founded by his father, staff refused to comment.
the family moved some years ago.
when i called the last phone number linked to his parents, the man who picked up said
he was uzbek and bought the sim card on the streets.
the line was then disconnected.
just two weeks ago, president putin himself insisted both of the salisbury suspects were
civilians.
"nothing suspicious," he said, "nothing criminal."
on friday, his spokesman said the kremlin won't discuss what he called informal investigations
into the poisoning any further, but the questions over russia's explanations and the true identity
of these men are only mounting.

this is bbc news, our main story this hour.
indonesia says its struggling to reach the epicentre of the earthquake and survivors
of a tsunami which has so far claimed more than 400 lives.
let's stay with that main story now.
0ur correspondent richard lister explains why indonesia is prone to such devastating
natural disasters.
aerial images of indonesia's disaster zone show the reach and the power of the tsunami
—
a landscape scoured of buildings and people.
it all starts here, on the sea bed, along the pacific rim. sections of the earth's crust
grind together, causing volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.
it's known as the ring of fire.
this animation shows the location of every earthquake around the world over several years.
90% of them occurred along the pacific rim, and of all the countries on that ring of fire,
indonesia is seen as the most prone to earthquake damage.
not all undersea earthquakes cause tsunamis, but those measuring more than seven on the
richter scale pose a real threat.
and when one tectonic plate is forced under another, as may have happened in indonesia,
the sudden change to the sea bed displaces a huge volume of water, creating giant waves
moving as fast as a jetliner.
under the right conditions those waves can across an ocean.
this animation shows what happened in 2004, when an earthquake measuring 9.1 on the richter
scale generated a tsunami off sumatra.
it reached the african coast just seven hours later.
250,000 people were killed.
but other factors can make smaller tsunamis deadly too.
look at this long inlet leading to palu. even though friday's earthquake was much smaller
than in 2004, this narrow inlet focused the energy of the waves as they raced towards
the town. and it could be days before the authorities in indonesia know just how much
damage was done, how many lives were lost.

mediterranean cyclone zorbas has triggered flash flooding across greece, bringing heavy
rainfall and strong winds to athens, the central and northeastern peloponnese and evia. the
storm — which is also known as a 'medicane' — hit the southeast of the peloponnese peninsula
the hardest, with the coastal capital of kalamata and seaside villages being inundated by waves.
the public has been advised to exercise caution and avoid unnecessary travel.
chris fawkes from the bbc's weather centre explained the severity of the storm.
the medicane has been swirling around the eastern mediterranean for the last couple
of days, picking up strength, but it was on saturday that it made its landfall across
the southern peloponnese area of greece.
it brought torrential rain, with localised severe flooding and large, battering, dangerous
waves pummelling the coastline.
this storm is going to continue to work north—east.
the strongest winds easing away, but they will still be strong enough to bring down
a few more branches, as we head through sunday, torrential rain the major threat.
we could see 50 millimetres of rainfall widely across greece,
into western areas of turkey. the western areas will pick up 100—150 millimetres of
rain, so there could be more flooding before the weather begins to improve.
it's highly unusual for a country to change its name.
but on sunday, the people of macedonia will decide whether to approve a proposal to re—christen
their country north macedonia.
a yes vote would mean an end to the decades—long dispute with neighbouring greece, who believe
the name implies a territorial claim on a part of northern greece. as guy de launey
reports from the capital skopje, it's a particularly important vote for the country's young people.
macedonia has spent much of the 21st century looking to ancient history.
it splurged a fortune on recasting its capital as the cradle of civilisation, appropriating
greek heroes and infuriating its southern neighbour.
but now it's out with the old and time to look to the future — potentially, at least.
sunday's referendum will see voters decide whether to rename the
country north macedonia.
"turn out for a european macedonia" is the message on this referendum billboard.
it says, "on the 30th of september, we will make a historic decision."
because changing its name would allow macedonia to end its long—running dispute with greece,
and the government says that would allow this small landlocked country to look to the future.
we are a small country, a small market.
without stability, without guarantees for security and prosperity in the economy, it
is really, every day it is a new damage for the country, because of migration — people
leave.
macedonia's young people struggle in one of europe's poorest countries.
low wages, lack of opportunities, and rampant corruption force many to leave.
the organisers of this event say that's got to change.
they are one of the largest marginalised groups in this country at the same time, struggling
with a poor educational system, high unemployment, little opportunities for prosperity, they
are desperate.
we are desperate, to see an advancement towards a better, prosperous environment and a democratic
society in this country.
there have been strident
protests against the agreement with greece.
some feel the government is giving up macedonian identity.
others are simply unhappy about a lack of consultation.
the problem with the agreement is that it is pushed by a foreign party onto macedonia.
it is not really something that our people have debated, accepted, and agreed upon.
but some things have already changed.
skopje's airport is no longer named after greek hero alexander the great.
a yes vote on sunday would bring a new identity to the whole country.
in golf, europe will go into the final day of the ryder cup riot police in nicaragua

in golf, europe will go into the final day of the ryder cup with a four point lead over

it makes them strong favourites to win back the trophy, as ben croucher reports.
the battle cry created in scandinavia, the golf course in france, the rivalry created
down the decades.
the ryder cup is unmistakable. as the usa have found, though,
it is easy to lose yourself and as they found on friday, it's easy to lose points.
saturday's four balls carried on where friday foursomes finished.
this cry created in hollywood.
county down.
for mcilroy's experience and tyrrell hatton's relative lack of it, fairway or rough, little
mattered as europe surged clear in what was becoming an alarmingly one—sided event.
commentator: oh, but what a shot, what a shot from tyrrell hatton.
francesco molinari and tommy fleetwood won their third point in as many matches.
sergio garcia found some spanish strength to see off tony finau and brooks koepka.
.. but just when another european whitewash was on, jordan spieth and justin thomas ensured
they were here and heard.
booing. still, the usa were staring at a heavy deficit.
so when henrik stenson and justin rose were sent out first in the foursomes and claimed
their customary points, the gap grew wider.
than, under the circumstances, probably the putt of the day.
fleetwood and molinari's putts may not have won such accolades and with yet another point,
they became europe's most successful pairing in just two days.
the us was six behind and tiger woods still hadn't won a match.
but undaunted by the chasm and the potential pitfalls, plain to see at le golf nationale,
spieth and thomas sunk a strangely subdued mcilroy and ian poulter with pinpoint precision.
it will be 10—6 heading into sunday's singles.
0nly twice before has a side come from so far behind to win.
the us will have to summon some spirit if they're to create another piece of ryder cup
history.
dramatic footage has emerged of how passengers were rescued from an airliner which crashed
into the sea in micronesia.
the air nuiguini flight had 36 passengers and 11 crew on board when it missed the runway
at the chuuk international airport.
you can see people standing on the wings of the plane as the rescuers approach on boats.
four people were seriously injured, but there are no reports of any fatalities.
just a reminder of our top story today.
rescue workers in the indonesian city of palu have been struggling to reach people trapped
in the rubble of buildings brought down by friday's earthquake.
we know over 400 people have lost their lives.
we hear now from the official government spokesman that the indonesian president, joko widodo,
is travelling to palu today.
he has set off to go there.
they are also saying that the difficulty of communications has been made worse because
powerlines and communications circuits have suffered in that natural disaster or more
on that later.
thank you for watching.
hello there.
yesterday was a quiet day of weather here in the uk but what a contrast
across the east of the mediterranean where we had this — the medicane.
it brought torrential rain in across southern greece in the peloponnese with some localised
flooding.
the rough seas causing a few light boats to be pushed onshore and one or two capsized
in the rough seas. we've had all kinds of weather impacts. here in the uk, a beautiful
end to the day yesterday.
crazy swan lady capturing the sunset. we will probably have a similar, fine sunrise to start
the day.
particularly across the midlands, east anglia and south—east england.
that's where the clearest skies are.
further north and west, it stays quite blustery.
a few showers to start the day for the far north and west of scotland.
the combination of clear skies and light winds across the south—east it's here where temperatures
will really dip down.
a cold start for the early risers.
temperatures around two or three degrees celsius.
through sunday, we do have a weather front on the pressure charts.
it's a very weak one pushing in across northern england and wales.
behind the front, the air is cool.
temperatures are perhaps a degree down on what we saw on saturday.
it will feel cooler due to the strength of the wind across scotland where there will
be plenty of blustery showers.
through the day, for northern ireland, england and wales, the cloud will tend to come and
go.
there will be some bright or sunny spells, probably not as much sunshine as we enjoyed
on saturday but not a bad kind of day.
a few showers brought on the north—westerly winds.
running onto the north coast of northern ireland, perhaps a few sneaking across the isle of
man into the north—west of england and the north of wales.
otherwise, a fine and dry day.
temperatures for many between 12 and 15. as we look at the forecast through the night
time, a ridge of high pressure builds in and that is how we start the day on monday.
it means it will be at chilly start to the day.
we could have pockets of frost in the coldest areas in the countryside, but a fair bit of
sunshine.
however, the weather clouds over.
we will start to see some rain arriving in scotland, particularly for the western isles,
the highlands and the northern isles as we go through the latter part of the day.
perhaps a little rain running onto the north coast of northern ireland.
still, mainly dry day in northern ireland, england and wales.
temperatures, for many,
between 12 and 15 degrees.
looking at the forecast deeper into the week ahead, northern areas often quite cloudy.
a bit of rain at times, particularly in the north—west.
it will stay quite breezy as well.
temperatures in glasgow generally around 11—14 degrees.
perhaps a bit of rain in manchester but by and large, england and wales having a lot
of dry weather, but it will often be pretty cloudy. that is your forecast.
