Turning to Indonesia, where the death toll from Sunday's earthquake on the southern island of Lombok has risen to 98. Officials say it's likely to rise even higher, as rescuers struggle to reach some of the hardest-hit areas. The region has recored more than a hundred aftershocks, but experts warn that more are to come -- possibly as strong as the initial quake. Lombok is a popular tourist destination, and many foreigners have been left stranded on the island. CGTN's Silkina Ahluwalia has this report from the local airport.
