At least 222 are dead after tsunami waves slammed Indonesian beaches in the Sunda Straight, apparently churned up by underwater landslides caused by the Krakatoa Volcano.  More than 800 are injured and the death toll is expected to rise according to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in Indonesia, which is providing initial support in the region by bringing in basic household items, clean water and equipment to clear debris.  The UN World Food Program is also standing by.  But Indonesians - aware of a series of disasters from the devastating 2004 Boxing Day tsunami that killed hundreds of thousands of people to the Palu City quake and tsunami that killed 2,200 earlier this year - say the country lacks early detection kit:  "We need a multi-hazard early warning system," said Sutopo Purwo Nugroho of  Indonesia's National Disaster Mitigation Agency, "And we need lots of it."

Donald Trump moved up the departure of Defense Secretary James Mattis from February to the end of this year, apparently enraged over publication of the resignation letter in which Mattis criticized Trump's isolationist policies.  In other words, "You can't quit, you're fired!"  The New York Times quoted White House sources as saying that Trump initially "did not understand just how forceful a rejection of his strategy Mr. Mattis had issued" until it was splattered all over the media and pundits deconstructed every sentence.  Trump is expected to announce that Deputy Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan will take over from Jim Mattis as acting US Secretary of Defense from 1 January.

UK authorities have cleared and released the West Sussex couple who were arrested after a series of drones buzzed Gatwick Airport, causing two days of flight cancellations last week.  "Both people have fully co-operated with our inquiries, and I am satisfied that they are no longer suspects in the drone incidents at Gatwick," Detective Chief Superintendent Jason Tingley.  Friends an associates of the couple cast doubt on their involvement early on, noting that the woman didn't share the husband's hobby of RC drone flying, and the husband didn't own a drone anywhere near as large as the "industrial scale" aircraft spotted last week.  A crashed drone has been found on the perimeter of Gatwick, which will undergo forensic examination.

Tributes are pouring in for Simcha Rotem, the last surviving fighter of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943 who died at the age of 94.  He was one of the partisans who rose up and fought the nazis when they began deporting Jews from the Polish capital.  As the nazis cracked down and killed thousands, Simcha "Kazik" Rotem helped people escape through the city's underground drainage.  He later returned to take part in the 1944 Warsaw uprising.  Israeli Prssident Reuven Rivlin said, "Thank you for everything, Kazik.  We promise to try every day to be deserving of the description 'human'."

Argentina apparently knows how to deal with sexist talk radio blowhards!  Prosecutors charged Angel "Baby" Etchecopar with gender discrimination after he used his Radio 10 program to slam feminists as "feminazis" and "disgusting people".  In a deal to settle the charges, he dropped his pugnacious public persona.  "Baby" agreed to host a feminist guest on his program every week for five months as part of a deal; he must interrupt them; and he can't bad mouth them after they finish talking.  "Etchecopar came to the inquiry with a repentant attitude and showed himself to be very different from the personality I had seen in the media," said prosecutor Federico Vilalba Diaz.  If "Baby" breaks the terms of this agreement within a year, the charges will be resurrected.
