Questions are also being asked about whether power to the island should have been cut. For more, heres our correspondent in hawaii, sophie long. This is what remains of lahaina. Cars abandoned as people ran and jumped into the sea to escape the flames. Homes and businesses reduced to charred remains. President biden promised immediate help and said every available asset should be used to provide it, but, days later, people here say its not yet reaching those most in need and people like felicia are desperately trying to get supplies into lahaina themselves. Im frustrated. People are. Were all together. Were one family, we need to take care of each other. No one� s feeding everyone. Theyre traumatised. Theyre upset. No one� s giving hugs. They need mental help. What do you need for me . To hear people in the same pads since the fire on thursday. Kids in the same diapers since thursday. People without food. They havent drank since before the fire. What are we doing . Hundreds of thousands flock to mauis stunning coastline every year and thousands ofjobs here are dependent on tourism, but the jarring contrast between those holidaying and those hurting is difficult to bear with so many still unaccounted for. The same waters that our people just died in three days ago are the same waters the very next day these visitors, tourists were swimming in and that says a lot about where their heart and mind is through all of this and where our heart and mind is through all of this, as well. You dont see our people swimming, snorkelling, surfing. Nobody is having fun in tragedy and continuing their lives like nothing has happened. There is two hawaiis right now. There is the hawaii were living in and the hawaii theyre living in, theyre visiting in. As search and recovery teams continue their difficult task of sifting through the remains, people queue for hours to get back to what were their homes. Confusion is leading to frustration. At 8. 30am, we went there. They said, go to The Other Side. So we went to The Other Side and same thing. Theres, like, a line and its not even moving so we came back here. So we got here at 9. 30 and its 12. 30 right now. Theyre not telling us what to do. The cops arejust going back and forth. But the authorities are asking for patience. We know weve got to go quick, but weve got to do it right, so when we pick up the remains and they fall apart. So when you have 200 people running through the scene yesterday, and some of you, thats what youre stepping on. I dont know how much more you want me to describe it. Thats what youre stepping on. Give us a little bit of time to contain that, please. People already know this is the deadliest disaster in hawaiis history and the death toll is still climbing. Sophie long, bbc news, maui. As well as the high death toll, thousands of people have been left homeless and in need of help from the authorities. Helena humphrey has been speaking to some of those seeking assistance in maui and also to the governor of hawaii. So many people are still unaccounted for when we were at the shelters today. So many people were coming looking for loved ones that had no cell phone reception. They havent been able to get in touch. And some of the first things we asked them after asking, are you 0k . Is, how did you get out . Did you hear a siren . Did you get a Text Message Alert . And every time the answer was, no. We only got out because we saw a wall of flames coming towards us. We felt the heat. We heard our neighbors banging on our doors. And you really saw the testament of that in terms of essentially the walking wounded at times coming into that shelter, people with bandages on their feet, on their legs, on their hands, having essentially had to run from the flames. So, of course, one of the questions front and foremost at that press Conference Today was about those Early Warning systems. No questions were taken in the room, but i did put it to the governor in an exclusive interview. Take a listen to what he told me. Thats it. Governor green, thank you for being with us. Out of every Single Person that weve spoken to today, every person that weve met, not one person has said that they heard a siren or received a Text Message Alert. Are you clearer in understanding what went wrong . Was it human error or was maui unprepared . I think really what it was was an incredibly overwhelming circumstance, which was a hurricane and Hurricane Force winds simultaneously with fire. And weve not experienced anything like that in the region in a town before. There was a lot of response going on amongst the firefighters all across the island. I think that was the greatest confounding issue. But my team is doing a thorough review. Weve begun it with our attorney general, and thats the important piece for us now. Of course, most of our efforts are going to be on recovery, finding a way to reunite families with either those that theyve lost so that they have closure or getting them housing and survival. These processes normally come much after an incident like this, but were doing it in parallel because we want to be safer and learn right now. What do you say to those people who received no alert whatsoever, whove lost everything, their loved ones . Absolutely everything. Id say this is something that were aware of, that the tragedies like these occur. We have volcanic eruptions and sometimes only minutes to alert people. We have earthquakes and tsunamis that come within minutes. This is something that actually those of us in hawaii have long been tragically familiar with. And this is one of the great challenges of living 3,000 miles away from any other landmass with modest resources. But we will be able to give people much more answer in the future once our review is thoroughly done. Do you know how youll make sure that it doesnt happen again . Well, my administration started just six months ago, so weve just begun to govern. And among the many things were doing is preparing for natural disasters. And usually that is hurricane related. That means preparedness along the shoreline, having the ability to get resources to our people. So were early in our term and weve just begun to prepare our state for the future. Governor green, thank you. So that is then the twin challenge for authorities right now, recovery efforts, whilst also conducting investigations as well. But in terms of the response from this island, what were seeing is so many volunteers getting involved. People have lost everything. But anyone who has anything coming to shelters, donating food, water supplies, Baby Supplies and so on, because were meeting people who cant even find a space in shelters, who are sleeping out in the open right now. And it continues to be very hot. It continues to be very windy. But when you speak to people, what really comes through is something that people in here in hawaii pride themselves on and its bittersweet to witness. It is a spirit of aloha, of warmth and generosity and coming together in the face of what is the biggest challenge that this island probably has ever seen in terms of natural disasters.

We can quite clearly see the town of lahaina now. What you can make out is the blackened landscape above the town, where the grass was burning. What happened with the Hurricane Blowing away off to the south, the pressure brought the wind over the top of the island, picking up speed on the way down the mountainside and then picking up sparks from the fire and bringing them directly into the town.

As well as a devastated town of lahaina, which is a short distance that way, there are communities like this not directly affected by the wildfires that have nonetheless been cut off without road access, power and communication for days.

These are wagner fighters Training Soldiers in belarus. In its daily bulletin, the british Defence Ministry says the wagner group is likely moving towards a downsizing and reconfiguration process. It adds that the russian state has acted against some other Business Interests of wagner owner yevgeny prigozhin, after he led a failed mutiny against the russian armys top brass injune. It says if the russian state is no longer paying the Mercenary Group the second most plausible source of funding is belarusian authorities. 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. 0pposition parties and campaigners have called for urgent action. The french Authorities Say all the victims of saturdays disaster were afghan men. Nearly 60 others 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 survivors said some of them had been trying to bail out water with their shoes. Others were in the sea pleading for help. A harrowing incident for the lifeboat crews. 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 terrible event shows that thanks to cooperation between france and britain we managed to save lives. Thats what we have to focus on. Last december, at least four people died when their boat capsized. There are now renewed calls for increased cooperation between britain and france. It is absolutely essential the authorities are able to cooperate to prevent people making these dangerous journeys. The fact that this is continuing is an indication of, up to now, the failure of cooperation. There have been frequent attempts over recent years for the french and british authorities to Reach Agreement on a more effective means of policing the channel and stopping people embarking on these deadly and dangerousjourneys, but we are not seeing the results of that. The British Government has described the deaths as devastating. It 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. More than 16,000 people have made the 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 to try to prevent further loss of life at sea. Simonjones, bbc news, dover. We can speak now to simon in dover. Simon, the authorities have confirmed there was another rescue in the channel overnight. Can you bring us up to speed on what happened . Bring us up to speed on what hauened . ,. ,. ,. Happened .

We heard from the french authorities late yesterday evening that they had come to the aid of another boat which had around 50 people also on board. In terms of what happened early yesterday morning, and the boat that capsized, the Search Operation has now been called off. That will not resume unless any new information comes to light. That will be a recovery operation because there is no chance the two people still feared to be missing will still be alive. In terms of the investigation, there is a lot for the authorities on both sides of the channel to do now. A key priority would be to establish the identities of the six people who lost their lives. We know they were all from afghanistan and believed to be in their 30s. Afghanistan and believed to be in their30s. Finding afghanistan and believed to be in their 30s.

Of the four people only one has been identified. The identities of the three and this remains a mystery and that is why it can be so tricky for the authorities. Another thing they will be desperate to do is to speak to survivors. Some of the survivors were brought here to go there, others were taken to calais. That will have to be a gentle process because those people will have been through a terrific experience yesterday morning out in the channel. They want to find any evidence of who might have organised the crossings for the People Smugglers who put them onto this dangerously overloaded boat that was not seaworthy and eventually capsized, leaving people in the Water Screaming for help. figs capsized, leaving people in the Water Screaming for help. 5 of capsized, leaving people in the Water Screaming for help.

What we have heard from the British Government when they described what happened yesterday is devastating, saying it reinforces the need to stop the crossings and go after People Smugglers who are organising theirjourneys. A series of initiatives were announced in the past week to try to show the British Government was getting on top of this issue. New cooperation with social Media Companies to try to stop smugglers advertising journeys online. The new deal with turkey to try to stop the export of both parties to make the journeys across the channel. All of the announcements were derailed by the fact last week we reached the 100,000 figure, the number of people who have reached the uk and small boat since 2018 when this phenomenon really started in earnest. Yesterday it was all very much overshadowed by the tragedy in the channel. If anything it is focusing minds on what can be done about this. Because once again for renewed cooperation with french authorities. The uk has given france millions of euros to increase patrols on beaches in france. Those patrols have been stepped up. The crossings to continue. Yesterday, despite tragedy in the channel, many did manage to arrive in uk waters. Let s get some of the day s other news now.

In afghanistan, the taliban say 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 re opened after being closed for months.

Its a nerve wracking time for thousands of students in england, wales and northern ireland, who will receive their a level and btec results on thursday. Its crucial that students get the right advice on the day, especially for those with unexpected grades as they work out what to do next. Amy cole has been finding out how Clearing Advisors are being trained. Hello. University college, birmingham clearing hotline. How can i help . A bit of role play to prepare for the special role hell play on thursday. Can i ask what qualifications you have . A level biology. Jordan frith works at University College birmingham in customer relations, but hes currently being trained to use the software that will enable him to help Prospective Students when they call to discuss courses after receiving their a level or btec results. The day will be pressured and he wants to be well equipped to handle it. Ultimately, we are advisers as well. We want it to be the right fit for the student, and depending on their grades, their qualifications, they might not have explored other opportunities. And were here as experts to really provide that knowledge for them and hopefully make them make the best decision. The group is being trained by amber page, whos been involved in the Clearing Process here for ten years. We are expecting a busy clearing and as a result of that weve got multiple staff across the university, various different departments coming together to work on the clearing hotline. So taking calls from Prospective Students. And they have a range of expertise across the university. Ucb accepts a lot of students from schools and colleges and mature students, too. Its known for offering more vocational courses, such as nursing or construction, and appeals to a range of people from all kinds of backgrounds. Theres almost always something we can offer them, whether thats to start on a foundation degree, which is a two year course, thats the same as the first two years of an undergraduate degree, but gives students a slightly gentler introduction. It also gives them an opportunity to step off after two years if they want, but then, if they want to, they can continue and do their final year and top up and get a full degree. We also have options for students to start at College Level if theyre not quite ready for university. You just relax your arm. Try not to speak, and just relax. Here, a lesson is taking place for nursing students in one of the mock hospital wards. The degree is rigorous and involves placements. For one second year mature student, the help she gets from ucb is vital. Im having a lot of Financial Support with my childcare costs, which is one of the biggest costs as a parent, especially when you have to come to university. Ive also had a lot of academic support, so with assignments and helped me to research the kind of books because if youve not been in education for a while, then that can be quite challenging. Back to the training room, and ill leave you with this important piece of advice from lauren askey. Whichever course it is that youre considering, if its something new to what youve previously applied for, just make sure that you go through that course in detail. And if youre offered to have maybe an appointment with somebody to talk through the course in more detail to take it, because the academics can really help you as well. Good luck. Amy cole, bbc news.

Police said activities had been suspended until sunday due to weather. The cause of the explosion remains under investigation. Now, to the drive to reduce Plastic Pollution. Here in the uk, charges have been introduced for single use plastic bags, first in wales, then northern ireland, scotland and finally in england, where a charge was extended to all businesses in 2021. 0ur Reporter Gemma Dawson has been to find out how the changes have affected peoples day to day lives. When it comes to shopping bags, you either need to bring them from home or buy them. Have you brought your bags with you . Yes. Some of our bags are about eight years old . Oh, yeah. I normally always bring my own bag. Nine and ten times they break halfway home. Nine out of ten times they break halfway home. I dont drive, so when i walk, i get halfway home and then itjust splits. Get a trolley. You can reuse it time and time again without causing any litter. So weve had six this week, we had four last week. At the seafront i meet lianne from the local beach clean up team. She says the number of plastic bags yhey� re picking up is going down. Theyre picking up is going down. I think theyve dropped over the last couple of years, generally, the plastic bags. It has been a good thing they brought in the charges. It has decreased their use and were finding less. England has become the last part of the uk to introduce a mandatory charge for the use of plastic bags. Since the charge was first introduced, usage has dropped by more than 98 at seven of the leading supermarket chains, according to new government figures, but environmental campaigners point out the stats dont include bags for life.

Generally, theyre not the highest amount of Plastic Pollution any more. They were. Maybe up to two years ago we had a very big, high content of plastic bags, but it has gone down. Lianne now hopes 0ctober� s ban on single use items such as plates and cutlery will have similar results, but when it comes to bags, its better to pack them rather than pay for more. Gemma dawson, bbc news. So frustrating when you forget your bag when you have been shopping. Just time to bring you some images of the perseid meteor shower, which was visible across much of europe overnight where cloud permitted. This is a time lapse from croatias lastovo island. The phenomenon is one of the highlights of the year for star gazers and happens when debris from a comet, called swift . Tuttle, enters the earths atmosphere and burns up. As the skies turned dark and into the early hours of sunday morning, up to 100 Shooting Stars could be seen an hour. What a spectacular show stay with us here on bbc news. Hello. Once again, its a rather unsettled looking Weather Picture for sunday. With low pressure so close by there will be quite a number of showers around. Some places will escape, but its difficult to say exactly where. The winds are a notch down compared with yesterday, but theres still a breeze out there. You can see theres tightly packed isobars and weve got another area of rain moving in later this evening and overnight. Closest to that low pressure across the north and west, so scotland and northern ireland, will see the most frequent showers. Some heavy with rumbles of thunder. Weve had a few sharp showers through the morning hours, perhaps fewer across wales and the south west this afternoon, but equally, one or two sharp ones could develop just about anywhere. Temperatures are similar to those of saturday, so feeling pleasant enough in the sunshine. It is all change, then, as we go through this evening and overnight. The showers give way to longer spells of rain for much of england and wales. Some quite heavy rain for wales and northern england, as you can see. With the high moisture content, the humidity is higher. A warm night. A scattering of showers continues because weve got low pressure across scotland and northern ireland, but a little bit chillier here, or fresher, as we start monday. For monday, some good spells of sunshine across scotland and across northern ireland, but that rain fringes close by to the borders. It takes its time to clear out of the way. We may well brighten with a few showers rolling in across wales and the west of england later, but its uncertain how quickly that rain will clear from eastern areas and, actually, It Mightjust Brighten up in some places and so still 2a degrees. But, on the whole, a lot of cloud and rain on monday. That low pressure clears away into tuesday, although that low pressure is still close enough to our shores to give us a few slow moving showers. The winds ease off considerably on tuesday, so when the showers come along, heavy and thundery, but slow moving, so lasting quite some time. Some places will escape altogether and stay dry, but again, the devils in the detail when it comes to showers as to exactly where, but there will be some lengthy spells of sunshine around. Certainly so on wednesday and thursday because this High Pressure starts to build in. It will draw in some southerly winds, so we start to see the temperatures lifting once again. But low pressure is never too far away, so although our temperatures are lifting late week, we still run the risk of that next area of low pressure coming back in, bringing with it a spell of showers once again. This is bbc news. The headlines more Expert Resources have been sent to hawaii, where Forensic Work is continuing to identify victims of devastating wildfires. At least 89 people are known to have died, but hundreds remain 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 channel in small boats after six people drowned off the french coast. Officials say 59 people, many of them afghans, were rescued by french and british coastguards.
