Indonesian Tsunami Death Toll Rises

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Indonesian Tsunami Death Toll Rises

At least 373 people have died after a 'volcano tsunami' hit coastal towns

In Indonesia, the death toll has risen to at least 373 after parts of the West Java coast were hit by a tsunami on Saturday. The wave was triggered by the Anak Krakatoa volcano. We hear more from our correspondent at a hospital there.

Also, the former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has been sent back to jail after a fresh corruption conviction. Our reporter has been outside the court.

And #UFC32 has been trending online today after the Ultimate Fighting Championship announced they are moving their mixed martial arts event from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. We hear from some unhappy fans who were planning to attend the fights.
