Almost entirely to the ground. Because of the wildfires, fires are continuing to burn. Helicopters continue to douse the flames. Many people, forced to flee at a moments notice, had to leave everything behind. Hawaiis Attorney General has announced an investigation into why the islands Warning Siren didnt sound at the height of the emergency. Questions are also being asked about power, and why the power should have been cut to the island. Meantime, the police chief for maui county said he expects the death toll to rise. Realise this. When we find these. Ourfamily and our friends, the remains we are finding is through a fire that melted metal. We have to do rapid dna to identify them. Every one of these 89 arejohn and jane does. And when you are asking us, and we know we have to get. And i love the way our house of representatives, how she said it, we are so eloquent, we have to go quick and we have to do it right. So when we pick up the remains and they fall apart, and so when you have 200 people running through the scene yesterday and some of you. That is what you are stepping on. I dont know how much more you want me to describe it. That is what you are stepping on. Give us a little bit of time to contain that. Please. Because we have got to go and make 89 notifications, and coming from a place that had to make 58, i understand the pain this is going to take, and we are not done with 89. So just understand what this thing is, because none of us really know the size of it yet, everybody wants a number. You want to fast and you want it right. We are going to do it right. Lets cross to maui, and speak to our correspondent helena humphrey. What is the latest there . The very grim news here that, once again, the death toll is being revised upwards, and we were told in the press conference, which took lace at our Government Building just behind me to prepare for the death toll to go up even further, and that tragic devastating message from the police chief telling anybody in the room, if you have loved ones who are missing, please get in touch to do dna swab testing, and i think that underscores the devastation here at hand. Also in that press conference, a lot of questions with regards to the sirens and to the warning system, if there were any developments or any more news that authorities could bring us about why it doesnt appear they went off. Every Single Person that we spoke to in shelters today said that they had no prior warning, and authorities didnt answer those questions, and i did speak to the government in an exclusive interview, and i asked him specifically about that.

We heard that this was a low moving fire, that it moved very quickly and that it moved very quickly and that it moved very quickly and that it burnt through a lot of grass, a lot of vegetation, and something that people have been speaking about here is that on hawaii we have already seen a lot of drought here on maui, but there is a lot of grass which is not native to maui and it is grass that burns very quickly, and that was something that the Fire Department also said, they believe this is one of the reasons the fire spread so quickly, and i spoke about this term of a Natural Disaster coupled with a hurricane, and thatis coupled with a hurricane, and that is likely what we are going to see potentially more going to see potentially more Going Forward when we see Climate Change making Natural Disasters and extreme weather events all the more difficult and, in this case, all the mall deadly.

But for the most part, we have seen it is that old Historic Town of lahaina which has been bearing the brunt, a lot of history essentially which has burnt down and some fires up country as well. Helena humphrey, thank you very much indeed. The British Government is coming under renewed pressure to stop migrants crossing the sea from france in small boats after six people drowned in the channel. Opposition parties and campaigners have called for urgent action. The french Authorities Say all the victims of saturdays disaster were afghan men. Nearly 60 other people were rescued from the water. Simonjones reports from dover. Just hours after yesterdays tragedy in the channel, more migrants were being brought to dover after being picked up at sea, undeterred by the evident risks of taking to the water in overcrowded flimsy boats. It was just such a boat that sank, prompting a huge emergency response. The survivor said of them have been trying to bail out water with their shoes. Others within sea, pleading for help. A harrowing incident of a lifeboat cruise, the french minister responsible for safety at sea visited some of those involved in the Rescue Operation in calais, keen to talk about the people who were helped to safety. This talk about the people who were helped to safety. Helped to safety. This terrible event between helped to safety. This terrible event between france helped to safety. This terrible event between france and i event between france and britain, we managed to save a life is what we have to focus on full blast december and is about these four people died when their boat capsized. There are now renewed when their boat capsized. There are now renewed calls when their boat capsized. There are now renewed calls for are now renewed calls for increased operation between britain and france. It is britain and france. It is ultimately britain and france. It is ultimately essential i britain and france. It is ultimately essential as| britain and france. It is ultimately essential as forces are able to co operate to prevent people making these dangerous journeys. Prevent people making these dangerousjourneys. The prevent people making these dangerous journeys. The fact that this is continuing is vindication of the failure of cooperation. There have been frequent attempts over recent years from the french and british authorities to Reach Agreement for a more effective means of stopping people embarking on their deadly and dangerous journeys, embarking on their deadly and dangerousjourneys, but embarking on their deadly and dangerous journeys, but we embarking on their deadly and dangerousjourneys, but we not seeing the results of that. The British Government has described deaths as devastating also says the incident is another reminder of the dangers of crossing the channel in small boats and the need to break the Business Model of the People Smugglers who are organising the journeys. People smugglers who are organising thejourneys. More than 16,000 people have made a crossing so far this year despite the government promising to stop the boats. Charities say this latest tragedy needs to focus minds on both sides of the channel, try to prevent further loss of life at sea. Simonjones, bbc news. Our correspondent bethany bell sent this update from calais. Many of the people who were on the boat are believed to have come from afghanistan, and a number of others from sudan. We also understand that there were children among them. The french Authorities Say they have been speaking to those who are well enough to talk to them to try to establish exactly what happened in that boat which capsized just out in the open sea. The french Prime Minister has praised the work of the rescuers, and she has also said that her thoughts go out to the victims. What aid workers here have been telling us is that more migrants have been arriving here in recent weeks, and they have been moving living rough along the coastline cr. And just a short while ago, french coastguard has said that they have rescued yet another boat just has said that they have rescued yet another boatjust out in the open sea here near calais, they rescued around 5a people and brought them to the port of dunkirk nearby. Our reporter Azadeh Moshiri has been looking at the wider trends in Asylum Applications in the uk. 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 16,000 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. Lets get some of the days other news now. The authorities in ecuador have carried out a huge operation to move a gang leader accused of threatening the murdered president ial candidate, fernando villavicencio, to a maximum securityjail. About 4,000 soldiers and police took part in the transfer ofjose adolfo macias, known as � fito, and two other inmates. Ecuador has been under a State Of Emergency since Mr Villavicencio was shot dead at the end of a rally on wednesday. The taliban say afghan universities are ready to readmit women, but a final decision is up to the groups supreme leader. The hardline islamists banned female students from campuses last year. The ban triggered protests by afghan women and prompted condemnation from around the world. Schools in the North Eastern indian state of manipur have reopened after being closed for months. More than 150 people have died and Tens Of Thousands have been displaced in manipur since may, when clashes broke out between the majority meitei group and the tribal kuki minority. Officials said that Street Markets have also reopened in the state as well as schools. Voters in argentina go to the polls on sunday in a primary election. These elections are seen as a test ahead of a general election which is due to take place in october. The Ruling Peronist Coalition is facing a strong challenge by the conservative opposition. Thousands of protesters against planned legal reforms in israel have returned to the streets for the 32nd week in a row. These are pictures from tel aviv on saturday evening. The protesters 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 insist unelected judges have too much power over elected politicians. The ongoing row has deeply divided the nation. They are trying to redress the power of the Supreme Court and they tried to make the government the only source of power in israel and like that we will not have democracy. This is my 32nd Saturday Night here this is my 32nd Saturday Night here and this is my 32nd Saturday Night here and i this is my 32nd Saturday Night here and i am here because i believe here and i am here because i believe that by make and his government what they are doing to this government what they are doing to this country is dangerous. Benjamin netanyahu. Thousands of homes in russias far east have been flooded after Typhoon Khanun made landfall. A State Of Emergency has been declared in 15 areas across the primorye region, which has seen its worst flooding in a decade. Hundreds of people have been evacuated to emergency shelters. A Crisis Response team has been sent to deliver aid. Typhoon khanun also hitjapan and south korea earlier in the week. Global oil demand hit a record high injune. Thats according to an estimate by the International Energy agency, which said demand reached an all time high of 103 Million Barrels a day. And the agency suggests demand could reach a fresh peak in the month of august. Heres our Business Reporter david waddell. Global oil demand first passed through 100 Million Barrels a day in 2019 but the impact of the covid Pandemic Hit Demand hard. At one point in the april of 2020, the price of a barrel of brent crude fell to 22. 4. Its much higher now on friday, the market price closed at 85. 5. Thats a price that buyers are happy to accept on the world markets. June saw an estimated Aggregate Demand of 103 barrels per day. So, why is demand so high . Thats a question i put to the independent Energy Analyst cornelia meyer. Well, the economy is doing a little bit better the Global Economy than was anticipated at the beginning of the year, especially the us is doing a lot better and even in europe, where some economies arent doing too well, there is still that Revenge Travel and tourism from, you know, the covid era. People want to travel again and all the planes are full, and we see that across the globe. In fact, the International Energy agency says demand could reach a fresh peak this month and has pushed up its expectation for the whole of 2023, suggesting demand could reach just over 102 Million Barrels per day across the whole year. That could push up prices even further, especially with recent supply cuts by saudi arabia and russia the worlds second and third biggest oil producers. Of course, theres increasing pressure for all of us to move towards clean energies and there are more electric vehicles on the roads than ever before but, on the whole, the Global Economy is proving resilient and the population continues to grow rapidly. So, despite ongoing environmental concerns, the demand to keep producing and burning oil is here to stay. The iea doesnt expect oil demand to plateau until 2032. David waddell.

Good luck ended and we will be watching those results here at bbc news later this week. You can get in touch with me on twitter or x. Whatever it is. This is bbc news. Hello there. Part one of the weekend was quite mixed with low pressure nearby bringing sunshine and showers. Some of the showers were heavy and thundery in places. Sunday looks pretty similar. Weve still got the same area of low pressure nearby, bringing sunshine and showers and it will be breezy, but not as windy as it was on saturday. This is the area of low pressure im talking about, sitting to the north west of scotland. This feature will run in during sunday night and into monday across england and wales. Sunday, though, starts off fine. Some good spells of sunshine around. The showers will get going most in scotland, Northern Ireland. Some heavy ones for north east scotland. Better chance of staying dry altogether through central, southern and eastern england, where well see highs of 22 or 23 degrees. Generally, its the high teens, though, further north, especially where we have the showers. And then, this next feature starts to run into wales, south west england, bringing some heavy, perhaps thundery rain as it pushes northwards and eastwards during the night. Scotland and Northern Ireland tending to stay dry away from these weather fronts. Here, well see temperatures in the low teens. Otherwise, its the mid teens further south. Then, for monday, we have got that feature moving across england and wales. Could continue to bring heavy, thundery downpours in places particularly in wales, North West England but the heaviest of the rain will start to push out into the north sea as it clears away and we start to see some sunshine moving into Western Areas later in the day, so it is an improvement and not a bad day to come for scotland and Northern Ireland fewershowers, more in the way of sunshine. Again, temperatures 19 21 celsius. That area of low pressure clears away. We start to see this area of High Pressure nosing in from the west. That should settle things down. Theres still a chance of a few showers across the northern half of the country here with light, Northerly Winds but the winds will be very light and we should see a bit of sunshine once any morning mist and murk clears away for england and wales. Temperatures responding 23, maybe 2a degrees in the warmest spots. And thats the theme of things to come as we move through the week. High pressure starts to take over. We should see more drier weather, more sunshine around, so temperatures will respond. But with this area of low pressure trying to push in off the atlantic, well start to see winds coming in from the south to the south east and thatll draw up some very warm air from the near continent. So, apart from the odd shower across Northern Areas towards the end of the week, it will be turning sunnier and warmer, especially in england and wales, with perhaps the high 20s likely across the South East Friday into the weekend. This is bbc news. The headlines additional Expert Support has been deployed to hawaii, where Forensic Work is continuing to find victims of the devastating wildfires. At least 89 people are known to have died but there are hundreds still unaccounted for. It is the deadliest disaster of its kind in the us for more than a century. The British Government is under renewed pressure to stop migrants crossing the sea in small boats after six people drowned in the channel off the french coast. 59 people, many of them afghans, were rescued by french and british coastguards, officials said.
