BBC World Service - Newshour, Indonesian Tsunami and Quake May Have Killed Thousands

Search and rescue operation under way on the Island of Sulawesi

Indonesia's military has joined the search and rescue operation on the island of Sulawesi amid fears that the number of dead after Friday's earthquake and tsunami could run into thousands. Jan Gelfand is spokesman for the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. 

Also in the programme: tens of thousands of women protest against Jair Bolsonaro, the right-wing front-runner in Brazil's presidential election; and veteran Saudi analyst, Jamal Khashoggi, on why he thinks Arab countries have withdrawn their support for the Palestinian cause.
