A state in america in over a century, and there is growing anger on maui over both the lack of warning about the fires, and the response by officials to the thousands left without homes and in some cases, without adequate food and water. Sophie long reports from the island. 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 from 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. The bbc has been speaking to the governor of hawaii, josh green, and asked him about the lack of warning to residents of lahaina about the approaching wildfires. 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. While the authorities continue the difficult work of searching for and identifying the dead, some residents are taking Relief Efforts into their own hands. John sudworth went out with one group of volunteers taking Relief Supplies by boat. We are on board the ocean spirit, a boat owned by the pacific whale foundation, a Marine Conservation charity. But today staff and volunteers on board are on a different mission. If you look down here, these are full fuel cans. A lot of people inside the Disaster Zone depend on generators for cooking. This, of course, is a vital lifeline. Over here, Something Else badly needed. Fresh drinking water. We can quite clearly see the town of lahaina now and what you can make out is the blackened landscape above the town where the grass was burning. And what happened with the hurricane blowing way 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 picking up sparks from the fire and bringing them directly into the town. They didnt stand a chance. As well as the devastated town of lahaina, which is a short distance that way, there are communities like this one. They were not directly affected by the wildfire but have nonetheless been cut off without road access, power and communication for days. So this is vital aid and all of it delivered by volunteer effort. Theres growing pressure on the uk government to do more to stop migrants crossing the English Channel on small boats, after six people drowned off the coast of france. Ministers have pushed tougher laws through parliament, which make it illegal for people to claim asylum in britain, if theyve arrived on small boats. Simonjones has the latest. Despite yesterdays deaths in the channel the crossings have continued. 500 more people were brought to shore on saturday after being picked up in flimsy boats. In dover, though, thoughts remain with the six men who did not make it. Unfortunately, it was going to happen sometime and we will have another one before long. All the time people are trying to cross the channel in these boats which are not designed for the purpose, then, unfortunately, things will go wrong. After the initial shock about the latest loss of life at sea, focus is inevitably turned to what can be done to prevent more tragedies. The government has made stopping the boats one of its top priorities, but so far, that has not stopped the desire of many to get to the uk. Labour describes the governments approach as shambolic. It wants a new focus on tackling the criminal gangs bringing so many people across the channel. And it accuses ministers of allowing the Asylum Backlog to get completely out of control. The total failure to do the basics, process cases, get decisions made as quickly as possible. And then you can take action if people dont have the right to be in this country. And for those who do, you can make sure that they are allowed to get on and live the rest of their lives happily. But also action on these criminal gangs. The government insist increased patrols on beaches in Northern France and a returns deal with albania, are delivering results. There are record numbers of people arriving in europe at the moment, but the actual numbers of people arriving from france into the United Kingdom has gone down. There is a lot of work that has been undertaken to achieve that. Were working very closely with the french government now to stop boats being launched. Obviously we havent stopped them all. It will continue to be a problem, but we have stopped a lot. And the french minister responsible for safety at sea, on a visit to calais to thank those involved in the rescue operation, said british and french lifeboats working together prevented more deaths. This terrible event showed that thanks to cooperation between france and britain, we have managed to save lives, that is what we have to focus on. The wind has been too strong for crossings today, but as soon as the weather improves, more will make the journey. A memorial on the seafront remembers those who have died seeking sanctuary in the uk. Six more men will now be added to that list. Our correspondent bethany bell is in calais with the latest on the rescue operation. There was another rescue overnight, the french coastguard said it picked up 5a migrants whose small boat got into trouble just ten kilometres outside the port of calais. They were bought to dunkirk, which is not very farfrom here. The french authorities have once again stressed how dangerous it is to cross the channel here in small boats, this is one of the most busy and dangerous crossings, and they say it is with very difficult weather conditions, where the wind changes very quickly. We have heard from frances prime minister, elisabeth borne say that she has praised the work of the Rescue Workers and has also said that her thoughts are with the victims and those who died in that initial incident on friday to saturday night. Aid workers around here have said that the number of migrants arriving in the region around calais seems to be increasing and that many of those people are sleeping rough along the coastlines here. The aid workers have told us that they warn them of the dangers of the crossing but they also say it is very hard to stop people who are determined to cross. A service has been held to mark the 25th Anniversary of the 0magh bombing the greatest single loss of life during the troubles in Northern Ireland. Sundays service was organised by a number of local churches and support groups. It took place in 0maghs Memorial Garden and consisted of music, prayer and reflection with contributions from the local community. 29 people, including a woman pregnant with twins, died in the 1998 real ira car bombing. No one has ever been convicted of carrying out the attack. In ecuador, the wife of the murdered president ial candidate, fernando villavicencio, has blamed the state for his death. She said his personal guards should have prevented the killing. Mr villavicencio died earlier this week, less than two weeks before elections were due to take place. He was a vocal critic of the corruption and drug crime that have beset ecuador. Robin brant� s report contains flash photography. Two daughters say goodbye to their father. Inside the flag draped coffin the man some in ecuador wanted to be the next president. 0ne supporter cant contain himself. He calls the Police Hypocrites for failing to protect fernando villavicencio. After his assassination, this country is now in a nationwide state of emergency, on the edge of a precipice. But his government provided police guard couldnt but his government provided police guard couldnt prevent this four days ago. This was the moment, leaving a rally that the man who had exposed corruption was gunned down as he got into a car. Six men have been arrested and are injail, all are colombian. Just days on from losing her husband, his widow spoke out overnight. But now she too needs protection, an armed guard, bullet proof vest and a helmet to think about. Translation they did not protect him as they should have protected him. The state was in charge of security, the state is directly responsible for the murder of my husband. The state still has to give many answers about everything that happened, his Security Guards did not do theirjob. Another woman now takes centre stage, this is his running mate, Environmental Activist andrea gonzales. She has agreed to take the place of the murdered candidate. I never thought this would be permanent, she said. The bullet proof vest now an essential part of her campaigning uniform. While the suspects in the assassination are injail, other inmates, injust their underwear, have been moved. There was a massive operation overnight to transfer one gang leader. In recent years, ecuador� s murder rate and drug crime have increased sharply. Prisons are the centre of the gang operations behind it. Once one of south americas stable peaceful nations, it now sits in the middle of a Borderless Organised Crime Battle with its colombian neighbours, and a bloody Election Campaign entering its final week. Nigers ambassador to the us has told the bbc the ousted president Mohamed Bazoum is � being mistreated by the coup leaders who removed him from power over two weeks ago. President bazoum is currently being held in the basement of his palace along with his wife and son. The coup leaders allowed the president s doctor to visit him on saturday, amid growing International Calls for his release. Ambassador Liman Tinguiri told me he is in regular contact with presidfent barzoum, and said his captivity amounted to a breach of the Geneva Convention. The condition of detention of prisoners are unacceptable. Its inhumane. Its cruel. And even Prisoner Of War under the Geneva Convention are given better conditions of detention. Last week, they starved. Tried to starve him, which is simply unacceptable, and below any of Military Code of honour. The new Military Leadership in niger meanwhile have been seeking support from nearby countries that have also experienced military coups. Niger has sent delegations to both guinea and mali whose leaders seized power in 2021. Other countries in the region have come out firmly against the takoever however with the Economic Community of West African States agreeing to deploy a stand by force ready to restore order. Meanwhile a delegation of muslim scholars from nigeria has held talks in niger saying the coupl scholars from nigeria has held talks in niger saying the coup leaders remain open to a diplomatic solution. The Security Analyst david 0tto endeley said the situation still has some way to play out. This is a continuation of backdoor diplomacy. Weve seen this group of scholars. You know, these are muslim religious leaders who have been able to meet with the newly elected, well, appointed prime minister. Theyve also been able to meet with the leaders of the junta. Essentially, the decision in that meeting has been that the Military Regime of Niger Republic is now ready to have a dialogue with us. Remember that some of the envoys that were sent to Niger Republic to speak to the junta were refused, essentially because the Military Junta claimed that the threat of a Military Intervention was something that they did not appreciate. Do you think its going to come to that . Because as weve said, theres this western African Regional bloc has threatened to use military force, hasnt it . And its interesting that youve got Different Countries in the region agreeing with that and disagreeing with that. Do you think its going to come to Military Action . Well, echo has made it very clear that they would prefer to use dialogue. Of course, theyve now activated the Standby Force through the chiefs of defence. Theyve also said that they are ready to deploy their forces to niger to restore democratic rule. There was supposed to be a meeting which could have been held today in ghana by the chiefs of defence staff. Perhaps that meeting was to do with coming down with some kind of a strategic plan, logistics, how many troops that would be required. But that meeting has now been postponed indefinitely. That therefore means that the supposed war plan that they had, you know, is perhaps on hold. Im not sure that, you know, this is in regards to the Backdoor Negotiations Success that they had with some of the islamic scholars. But i dont think there is an appetite in the region for any intervention militarily because of course, it will be split in the middle. We already know that countries like burkina faso, mali, guinea, would be on the side of the junta. Weve also had a preliminary information that some ecobank weve also had a preliminary information that some members are very reluctant, especially ghana, togo, gambia and liberia to send their military forces against an african country. So we are not really sure. But perhaps we pray and hope that a much more dialogue and soft intervention process, you know, takes precedence over the Military Intervention. Nine people have been injured two of them seriously after a car veered off the road and crashed into a campsite in pembrokeshire, wales on saturday night. The Campsite Owner said a baby in the tent miraculously escaped serious injury as it was protected by its cot. Matthew murray reports from the scene. It was just after 10 30 last night that the car came off this road. Its skid marks around about 50 to 60 metress away its skid marks around about 50 to 60 metres away to where it actually ended up, because it came off the road and then rolled around about three times before it ended up back on its wheels. But it did actually roll over this tent, which had a baby inside it who was in its cot. And thats the only reason the baby survived. Now, lets speak to the owner of the campsite here now, mike harris from newgale campsite. Mike, you know, you came here last night and it was absolute carnage when you arrived, wasnt it . Absolutely, yeah. There was no Emergency Services at the time because we were on the scene immediately. But there was carnage. There were people bewildered, people in shock, people who didnt know what was going on. And there were people that were injured, screaming and asking for help. Its hard to believe that actually nobody was killed in this because we just explained that the car came off the road. It rolled three times. It landed back on its wheels, rolled over this tent, but actually landed on top of campers as well, didnt it . Absolutely, yeah. This area was full of campers, families, groups enjoying themselves. Its a very popular area because its the nearest point to the surf. And the car literally came onto the campsite, rolled over this tent, didnt touch any other vehicles, but ended up just over there and landed on top of some family that was enjoying themselves. The same family actually had a baby in this tent at the time. So the immediate concern for everybody was what happened to the baby. And when they went into the tent, the cot was there and had managed to protect the baby from any injuries, which is another miracle to be fair. Thats unbelievable, isnt it . Absolutely. How are the campers then today . Yeah, there are six people in hospital, nine injuries, from what i understand, in total, six in hospital. No fatalities, fortunately. 0k. Thank you, mike, for your time. Out of the six people who had to be taken to hospital, one was taken via Air Ambulance from the field here to the University Hospital of wales in cardiff. And police are carrying out their investigations to find out exactly what happened here. Pubs in england and wales are being allowed to continue selling Takeaway Drinks after the government decided to maintain covid licensing rules. During the pandemic, customers were served through hatches when the inside of pubs were forced to shut. The rules regarding Takeaway Drinks were due to expire next month. The decision to keep the policy is aimed at helping publicans many of whom are facing Financial Hardship because of high energy costs. We know that streaming Services Like netflix like to predict what kind of content we are more likely to watch. But can their algorithms read beyond our Tv Orfilm Preferences . 0ur News Reporter ellie house spoke to me earlier about how netflix recommended her series with lesbian and Bisexual Storylines before she even knew she was bi. Back when i was at university i thought i was straight at the time, i hadnt really thought about it, and i noticed that i started to get quite a few recommendations for tv series or films with lesbian characters or Bisexual Storylines. I didnt think much of it but when i told friends about it who in most other ways are very similar to me, none of them had ever heard about any of these series. Thats key, isnt it . So this is very specific to you and notjust people of your age or living in a certain area or watching certain things . Yes, yes. I dont know anybody else who has these recommendations. Six months later, i realised i was bisexual and at that time Myjournalistic Curiosity kicked in and i wondered why. Several years later now, i have made a documentary about it which is coming out on tuesday on the World Service and bbc sounds. What was it that they were looking at, you looked into all of this, what were they measuring . There are several things. The obvious thing is what you previously watched and what other people who watched those things, what else they have watched. It makes sense that is how they would recommend things but it goes much deeper than that. There is also behavioural information, what you click on, what trailers you click on, whether you pause half way through, whether you pause and then continue, whether you pause and then leave it. What device and time of day, what you search. There are all these tiny. They know when you get up and go Make A Cup Of Tea . Lot of tiny pieces of information that doesnt mean much to us but when you have a wealth of people, millions of people using various different platforms, notjust netflix, Binge Watching things, it really is a lot of data. That Machine Learning model can then use to draw patterns, patterns that maybe we wouldnt understand but the machine can see that. And then it recommends you things. When you are having this period of Self Discovery or whatever it is, we dont really know who we are in our teens, do you think that at any point, did that recommendations help you think about those things more . I think ijust. I was watching several other things, that wasnt the only things i watched. It was more a period of six months of Self Discovery and this was a curious paralleljourney that stuck in my mind for a few years. And led me to want to do this investigation. Netflix didnt influence you to start questioning yourself you can see how a report on the bbc website. Before we go, 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 timelapse 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. Between dusk and the early hours of sunday morning, up to 100 Shooting Stars could be seen an hour. Stay with us here on bbc news. Hello there. Good evening. Its been yet another unsettled weekend of weather with low pressure close by. But theres been some blue skies and sunshine around as well, such as here in dumfries and galloway. Also some showers such as these, recorded by a Weather Watcher in shropshire. And its been blustery, too, for this time of year, and it does stay unsettled into the start of next week. A wet start for many on monday, but then things will quieten down. So turning drier, more settled and also warmer, especially in the south. This is the Satellite Picture from earlier on today. You can see various Weather Fronts just approaching the South West Of England and wales. Theyll be pushing further northwards through tonight. So bringing some heavy downpours of rain for most. Well see rain spread into Central Southern England tonight, pushing northwards across Northern England by the time we get to dawn tomorrow, a wet night across wales, mild and muggy underneath this cloud and rain. Temperatures in the mid teens in celsius. Across Northern Ireland, some clear spells, so cooler here and still a scattering of showers across scotland. Now on monday, there are met Office Weather warnings in force across wales and Northern England for heavy rain, around 30 to a0 millimetres, possibly higher Rainfall Totals with any afternoon embedded thunderstorms, theyre possible. But it will dry out and brighten up, i think, for wales and for South West England towards the end of the day. Still some bright spells across east anglia, sunny spells and showers for Northern Ireland and scotland. Its still rather windy in the south, but tuesday, a much calmer looking day of weather. That system has pushed its way northwards and eastwards into scandinavia. Its largely dry, particularly through the morning. Some Afternoon Showers perhaps breaking out for eastern areas of scotland and northeast england. Temperatures more widely rising into the low 20s in celsius. And it will feel more pleasant, of course, with those light winds in the best of the sunshine. And then High Pressure builds in as we head through wednesday, which will keep us largely dry. Still the possibility of some Afternoon Showers, but its keeping all of this low pressure out in the atlantic well at bay. So these systems will be stalled. There will be some sunshine developing on wednesday. Watch out for some showers developing, particularly towards north sea facing coasts. And any showers will be quite slow moving because of the light winds. But its starting to feel warmer. I think temperatures towards the south of england in particular will rise into the mid twenties in celsius, cooler towards the north, maybe some showers at times. 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 93 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. A delegation from nigeria says the leaders of the coup in niger are willing to solve the crisis through dialogue, not force. Their visit comes as the West African Bloc Ecowas explores its options to restore civilian rule in niger, including potential Military Intervention. Now on bbc news, Talking Business. Hello, everybody. A very warm welcome to Talking Business weekly with me, aaron heslehurst. Lets go and take a look at whats on the show. Menopause and money women over 50, theyre the Fastest Growing part of the workforce, but the taboo around talking about the menopause still hangs over us
