Many of the survivors had been in the sea, screaming for help. Others had been trying to bail out their sinking boat using their shoes. Translation they were in trouble. Some were suffering from seasickness and the boats are quite simply overloaded. They overload the boats and so the boats can no longer move forwards. The last boat was too full. These pictures taken earlier in the week showed just how many people can be crammed into flimsy boats in the worlds busiest shipping lane. The french Authorities Say they will only intervene at sea if a boat gets into difficulty. The mp for dover is calling for a new approach. This is an absolute tragedy today in the channel, and my thoughts and prayers are with all those affected. What we now really need to see is the french stopping these unseaworthy and overcrowded vessels getting into the channel in the first place, and a joint channel security zone. Charities supporting refugees say they have heard calls for change before. Its tragic, isnt it . Weve been here several times in the last few years and nothing changes. Every time were stood here, loss of life in the channel, i we call for this to be a catalyst for change and it never is. And itsjust, its another needless tragedy. Rescuers say this is the seventh time in the past week that people have had to be pulled from the sea. Its raised concerns that the smugglers organising the crossings are perhaps using a defective batch of boats, boats which are already dangerously overloaded, and that is making the crossing even more perilous. Butjust hours after the deaths were confirmed, more people from other migrant boats were being brought ashore, their desire to reach the uk undiminished. The Home Secretary said her thoughts and prayers were with all those affected by the tragic loss of life. Simonjones, bbc news, dover. Our correspondent lisa louis is in calais with more. We heard from french authorities earlier that they were actually alerted by a commercial vessel at about 420 m local time and then dispatch some of their vessels to the site and brought in the Manic British vessels are to bring as many people say for sure as they could. We talked to some of these rescue staff earlier today and they told us it was really a grim scene. They were going there to save lives, but once they got there, the only thing they could do was actually dragged dead corpses out of the water. They were really in shock and hoping that other things like other events like that will not happen again, but obviously aid workers have been telling us that a lot of people have been coming to calais over the past 30 weeks. They estimate there are about 1200 migrants now waiting to cross the channel and other dramatic events could happen over the coming weeks again. Events could happen over the coming weeks again weeks again. Lewis louis there for us. 0ur reporter Azadeh Moshiri has been looking at the wider trends in Asylum Applications here in the uk and in europe. The English Channel is one of the busiest and most dangerous Shipping Lanes in the world, and thats because of the hundreds of ferries and tankers that pass through it every single day. And sadly, this latest incident didnt happen in isolation. So lets take a look at the numbers. According to the Uk Home Office in 2022, arrivals in small boats made up 45 of applications. So thats a large number of people making a very dangerous journey. And if you look at the figures in 2022 alone, more than 45,000 people crossed the English Channel in small boats. And since 2018 thats when these numbers started being recorded the government confirmed that there have been more than 100,000 people crossing the English Channel in those small boats. And yet the Uk Border Force says this isnt a record high, not if you take into account people crossing on trains and lorries. And in fact, in 2002 alone, there were more than 100,000 applications. People fleeing places like iraq, somalia, afghanistan, because these numbers are affected by global conflicts around the world. And thats why while in 2010 youll see there was a 20 year low, those numbers picked up again as people started fleeing syria. And because of that fact, because of the fact these numbers are affected by global conflicts, it isnt surprising to see that in 2022, a large proportion of these applications are from people in afghanistan, iran, iraq, syria. Now, there are two surprising things here, and thats that albania makes up the highest number, even though theyre classified as a safe country by the Uk Home Office and by the uk government. But thats why they put into place so many measures to make those figures go down this year, which they have. Ukraine is also not listed here and thats because they benefit from a special visa scheme, which is why the home office didnt put them in this chart. But how do we compare to other countries . Is this a uk problem . Not according to the figures. In 2022, the uk received the fifth highest number of Asylum Applications. Germany was up top with more than 200,000. France, spain, austria followed, and then the United Kingdom. But having said all that, there is one constant, and thats that no matter the danger, people keep trying to reach the United Kingdom and these other countries in hope of a better future. Azadeh moshiri reporting there. The number of People Killed by wildfires on the Island Of Maui has now risen to 80. Its hawaiis deadliest ever natural disaster. This is Drone Footage from the town of lahaina. As you can see, structures are completely levelled, trees stripped the devastation reaching all the way to the shoreline. Hawaiis Attorney General has begun an investigation into how the authorities responded to the fires after some residents said they received no warning. 0ur North America correspondent Sophie Long Reports from maui. The historic city of lahaina, once the capital of the hawaiian kingdom, has been reduced to ruins. Almost everyone who lives here has lost everything. We already know this is the deadliest disaster in the states history, and the number of those who died is still climbing. This was lahainas historic seafront, now reduced to ashes. Bustling streets and shops all razed to the ground. But its too early to accurately assess the full extent and impact of this disaster. Buildings burned to the ground have not yet been searched. The fires that claimed them and the lives of Those Inside May be contained, but theyre still burning. Thousands have been left homeless by the ferocious flames, fanned by winds from an offshore hurricane. Thank you very much, yeah. They flocked to shelters, seeking food and water. The need for assistance is great but so too are the challenges to meeting it. The only land route to those most in need has been blocked. As road access to lahaina was opened and people started to make their way back to see what if anything remains, hawaiis governor urged people to prepare themselves to witness destruction like theyve never seen. Vic said his family were here on holiday from california. Caught by the flames, they almost lost their lives. We left our vehicle and myself, my wife and our five kids, we all got in the ocean. We found a floating board that we hung on to. And we were out there, floating. And this is so surreal. And everything was burning around, explosions, cars blown up. Even the worlds wealthiest have been touched by this tragedy. You need one . Oprah winfrey, who has a home on the island, has come to help. The Billionairejeff Bezos has pledged 100 million to help with the relief effort. This island, once a picture of paradise, is in pain. Questions are being asked about the preparedness of the authorities and whether adequate plans had been in place to meet the ever increasing threat of fire. This can happen again, and so we need to have as many takeaways and Lessons Learned from this, because it absolutely must not, must not happen again. This was absolutely tragic. Now they are focused on the immediate task at hand. There is talk of hope and strength and rising from the ruins, but it will cost billions to rebuild and its hard for some to even think about that with so many unaccounted for and unrecovered. Sophie long, bbc news, maui. 0ur presenter Helena Humphrey is in maui in one of the shelters for victims. While most people who are here have lost everything and have escaped with their lives. Anyone who has anything left is donating it, books, food, hygiene products, baby products, pet food, even some people saying they werent able to take their pets with them. What we keep seeing time and again is these moments when people embrace, they hug, a moment ofjoy, and then they break down, saying, did not expect to see you here, did not know where you were. Haps you can see over my shoulder, people out in the open because this shelter is at capacity, people sleeping on inflatable mattresses now outside and other people i have been speaking to here saying they are not able to find any capacity at shelters saw sleeping in gardens with other families, simply sleeping out in the open, and its very hot here, so still exposed to the elements. We know the death toll has been climbing, hundreds of people are still unaccounted for. We are just going out towards a tent for missing people, so people able to come here, report their loved one is missing. They feel any police firm which is given to the sheriff at the end of the night, they can then scan a qr code with the hope of learning something, but volunteers here saying it is as much about counselling, psychosocial support, hugs, tears, listening to their stories of survival because they are horrendous. So many people saying they had to run towards the water to escape the flames, and we are still seeing some severe injuries. If we canjust pan over seeing some severe injuries. If we can just pan over here, you will be able to see the emergency red cross tent. We will not show it too much because people are coming and injured still. They have burns to their feet, injured still. They have burns to theirfeet, their likes, their arms as they literally had to run for their lives. 0ther as they literally had to run for their lives. Other people across the island now being treated for Smoke Inhalation which can also prove deadly. In terms of lahaina, which is not that far from here, deadly. In terms of lahaina, which is not that farfrom here, residents yesterday started to go back in, most of them finding nothing at all. 80 of that town is gone. Now we are understanding more roadblocks are not necessarily able to get back in and we are hearing from Community Members back here there could be some concerns about safety with such old Historical Structures razed to the ground.

Other people saying they felt that there is a wall of heat coming towards them, so certainly many people here are not receiving any warning. Hawaii has experienced wildfires in the past in 2018, 2021, but nothing like the scale that has been witnessed here. As we flew in, we could just see the earth was brown, drought really has been an issue here for many months. A 15 of the island completely arid. And that combined with the strong winds from Hurricane Dora over the pacific with those at warming oceans just led to this absolute disaster that we are seeing now. Iwill say this absolute disaster that we are seeing now. I will say that despite all of this devastation, peoples response has been incredible. People talk about there is of the Hawaiian Aloha of warmth and kindness and generosity and that really comes through, even people experiencing their darkest day are coming together and saying, now he is strong, we will rebuild. But at the end of the day, this is one of americas wealthy estate maui is strong, we will rebuild. This is one of the worlds wealthiest countries, but even here we are seeing the environmental results of climate change. Earlier i spoke to todd james, National Spokesperson for the American Red Cross, whos in honolulu. I began by asking him what the Biggest Challenges are for people on the ground right now. For us, the main focus of our work continues to be sheltering, working with our partners, the local and State Government and our nonprofit partners in the area, because weve got to make sure that all of these families who have been displaced have a safe place to stay, have access to food, to medical care, as you heard there, to Crisis Counseling and, of course, knowing that theyve got a safe place to go and until they figure out what their next steps are. Weve had thousands of people coming through the shelters. Weve had over 2900 overnight stays so far, and a lot of folks who are coming into the shelter during the day they can charge their phones, they can get a meal, they can talk to some of the other partners we have in the shelters with us to get information. And if they need to stay, then they know theyre more than welcome to stay with us. So that is our big focus right now. Once its safe and we get the word from officials that we can begin going out, well assist with the Damage Assessment of the area and then well start distributing some of the emergency supplies that families will need when they start the cleaning process. And is it the case that some people havent been reached yet . I mean, were hearing that hundreds are thought to be uncontactable, they� re unaccounted for. Does that mean that they havent been reached . You know, i havent got any direct information. I wouldnt be surprised if there are some difficulties getting hold of some folks. You know, theres a lot of confusion. The infrastructure is down. The communications, electricity, water, all of that is not functioning or barely working in some areas affected by the fire, so that makes it very tough. So im sure the officials are doing all they can. Its still a Search And Rescue operation so thats why theyre restricting access, i believe. But whoever needs shelter, if theres still folks out there and they make their way to our shelter, theyre going to find a welcome arm from a red cross volunteer who will get them settled, get them a meal and make sure they have access to everything they need right now. And whats your assessment of how the medical facilities are coping with the Current Situation . I really havent had the opportunity to take a look or visit any of those myself. I do know our Disaster Health team in the shelter is doing a greatjob. You know, as folks come into the shelter, if they do have burns or injuries, making sure that we take a look at those, treat them immediately if possible, and if it needs further care, then working with the local officials to make sure we get them to where they can get that further care. Todd james from the American Red Cross talking to me a little earlier. Thousands of people in israel have returned to the streets for the 32nd week in a row to protest against planned legal reforms. The biggest demonstration is taking place in tel aviv and more than 100 others are also scheduled in towns and villages across the country. The protestors argue that the reforms being pursued by israels right wing government which involve curbing the powers of the Supreme Court will damage democracy there. But ministers argue that the reforms are necessary to correct an imbalance in power which has seen the courts increasingly intervene in political decisions.

England will now face australia in the last four on wednesday after the co hosts beat france 7 6 on penalties. Nick stoll is an australian Sports Journalist and football producer. He told me about that Penalty Shoot Out. It was one of the craziest Penalty Shoot Out ive ever seen in my life and australia has had a history of craziest Penalty Shoot Out. This is now the greatest Penalty Shoot Out we have ever experienced. It came down to courtney vine, a 25 year old who has never scored a penalty in her professional career, ten of the 11 takers tent of the 11 takers, she said before the tournament that she said before the tournament that she didnt know if she belonged in the third meant, thought it was strange she was a matildas, but today she proved she along. This is one of the biggest sporting moments we have had in our country, and we are so incredibly proud of our team that represents australian 2023. We should also talk about your goalie, mckenzie arnold, who saved four penalties then stepped up to take one. Thinking, she is going to be the standout performer, but she actually hit the bar. It was just unbelievable. Every single shot that was taken, it was doing at this Roller Coaster of back and forward. It was extraordinary. It was incredible. Even that moment from the cangiano, for her to miss what would have been the winning penalty and then had the composure and relax yourself to be able to make further staves and not let her completely crushed by missing a crucial penalty even that moment from mckenzie arnold. Every penalty felt like it was a dramatic moment, whether it almost hit the post, got denied, both teams had multiple chances to win the Penalty Shoot Out. It was absolutely incredible, but itjust sums up this team, this matildas, it is all about never say die, going to the end, they had to go right to the end of 90 minutes, write to the end of hundred and 20 minutes, write to the end of ten penalties to make it out. There was talk of cardiologist being called because so many people had their heart rates rising. It really is a special moment in australia. Both in terms of what discernment has done, like your reporter was saying. This team is going to break records. This will be the watched Sporting Event in australia, the match against england, since Cathy Freeman ran at the olympics because of it is incredible what this team and tournament has done to australia.

Thats according to the Royal College of midwives, which says england needs two and a half thousand more blaming stress and burnout for causing a staff retention crisis. Ali vowels has been looking at the situation in gloucestershire. Little baby river is five weeks old and the apple of his new mums eye. Charlottes very nervous about hospitals, so the Midwife Led Birthing Unit at gloucester, which offers a much less medical environment, felt like the Perfect Place to give birth. But when her husband phoned to say she was in labour, he was told the unit was shut due to lack of staff. Its scary being pregnant and its scary giving birth. So not knowing where youre going to give birth or where youre going to recover, itsjust. Its very anxiety inducing. And equally, the midwives need support. You know, they shouldnt be stressed. They shouldnt be having to run around feeling like they cant juggle their caseload. At the end of the day, theres going to be mistakes made. Babies will suffer for it. There are three Birthing Units in gloucestershire one in gloucester, one in stroud, which offers a limited service, and one in cheltenham which is closed. Whats happening in gloucestershire reflects the national picture. The country is currently 2,500 midwives short. The nursing body that represents midwives says the whole situation is very concerning. We cantjust keep treating staff this way and we know that its having an effect and existing staff are leaving. So it is about retaining these staff who are so valuable in helping to support Student Midwives and train Student Midwives and newly qualified midwives as the end to the services. as as they enter the services. The trust says its doing everything it can to attract new midwives and retain experienced staff. But while theres a shortage, they say. 0ur Overriding Priority is to provide consistent, safe staffing levels. And we must balance this alongside our aims to maintain as much choice as possible for women and birthing people. Charlotte says she has nothing but praise for the midwives, but says this situation must change. 0rganisers estimate more than 60,000 people have marched through prague in the citys annual gay pride parade.
