BBC World Service - Newshour, Indonesia Tsunami: Warning System Failed Victims

BBC has learned Indonesia's warning system was not working when the tsunami struck

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

The BBC has learned that none of Indonesia's tsunami detector buoys was functioning at the time of Friday's devastating earthquake off Sulawesi. And, why Sulawesi's tsunami is puzzling scientists? We speak to a geophysicist . 

Also on the programme: Donald Trump says the new trade deal struck with Canada and Mexico is "the most important" ever agreed by the US; and we talk to a survivor of the Las Vegas shooting.
