Recovery crews are combing through the charred ruins. More than 2,200 structures, homes and businesses have been damaged or destroyed. The states governor says some areas look like a war zone. The wildfires are the worst to hit 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. Jill tokuda, a democratic congresswoman from hawaii, told cbs that officials had been taken by surprise by the tragedy. Everybody who has ever lived in hawaii knows the warning sirens, it goes off once a month, and if it doesnt hawaii knows the warning sirens, it goes off once a month, and if it doesnt it hawaii knows the warning sirens, it goes off once a month, and if it doesnt it nets hawaii knows the warning sirens, it goes off once a month, and if it doesnt it nets fixed hawaii knows the warning sirens, it goes off once a month, and if it doesnt it gets fixed because hawaii knows the warning sirens, it goes off once a month, and if it doesnt it gets fixed because that is our first line of defence. Unfortunately in this situation, tragically, the silent likely did not go off. The Warning Signals on cell phones, we have no coverage or electricity in some of these areas.

This is one of the few ways that aid is going to get into lahaina over in this direction, thats because the road has now been closed into lahaina. Increasingly we are hearing desperate accounts of residents inside who have lost everything and now say they are not getting any aid, in terms of food, clean drinking water, shelter, and that criticism is growing. Down at this harbour, we have been speaking to volunteers. People have flown in from the us mainland who saw the television and they didnt wait, they got on planes and said, we need to help. We have spoken to a team who flew in from louisiana, saying they are going to try and access lahaina. One man said he would go over on a jet ski to assess the needs.

Our reporter on the ground, helena humphrey. 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. Labour says people smugglers are Running Rings around governments efforts to tackle the problem. Uk 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 off the coast of france, the crossings continued. 500 more people were brought to shore this weekend. Every boat arriving puts more pressure on a Prime Minister who has made stopping them one of his top five priorities. Labour says the people smugglers organising the journeys are Running Rings around the government, and it accuses ministers of allowing the Asylum Backlog to get completely out of control. Process cases, get decisions made as quickly as possible, and then you can take action if people dont have a right to be in this country. And for those who do, you can make sure they are allowed to get on and live the rest of their lives happily. But also action on these criminal gangs. The government says its vital to break the Business Model of the smugglers. It insists increased patrols on beaches in Northern France and a new Returns Agreement with albania are delivering results. There are record numbers of people arriving in europe at the moment. But the actual number is coming from france into the United Kingdom have gone down. There is a lot of work that has been undertaken to achieve that. We are working very closely with the french government now to stop boats being launched. Obviously we havent stopped them all. Its going to continue to be a problem. But we have stopped a lot. Today, the winds have whipped up, meaning there have been no more crossings. But as soon as conditions improve, inevitably the people smugglers will be launching more boats from the beaches of Northern France, bringing with them the further risk of tragedies in the channel. On the seafront in dover, a memorial to remember those who have died seeking sanctuary in the uk. Six more men will now be added to that list. Unfortunately, it was going to happen some time, 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. And politically, that may mean choppy waters ahead. A service has been held to mark the 25th anniversary of the Omagh Bombing the greatest single loss of life during the troubles in Northern Ireland. Families of those who died gathered in omaghs Memorial Garden where the names and ages of the victims were read out. 29 people, including a woman pregnant with twins, died in the 1998 real ira bombing. No one has ever been convicted of carrying out the attack. One of those speaking at the service was michael gallagher, whose son aidan was among the victims. He paid tribute to the catholic priest, father kevin mullan, who was at the scene of the blast and tended to the victims, but died earlier this year. Earlier this year, sadly, we said goodbye to father kevin mullan. Father kevin was present on the 15th Of August 25 years ago. He attended the victims on the scene, anointing with the last rites and providing comfort to the injured and the dying. We will always be indebted to him for the strength and compassion and courage he demonstrated on the day and the months and years and decades that followed. Kevin was a visionary that seen beyond green and orange. It didnt matter to him if you worshipped in a church or chapel, his wisdom and influence filtered into the community as he worked tirelessly, unselfishly, to create unity and togetherness. We will remember him as a decent and honourable human being. The Health SecretarySteve Barclay says he wants to offer the help of hospitals in england to reduce nhs Waiting Lists in scotland and wales. Figures this week showed a record 7. 5 Million People waiting for treatment in england alone. The government claims the percentage waiting for more than 18 months is higher in the two devolved nations than in england. Our Political Correspondent ione wells explains why the government is making this offer now. The Prime Minister rishi sunak said people should hold him to account if nhs waiting list are not followed by january 2025. Falling in england byjanuary 2025. So far, the figures are not going the right direction. We heard injune, waiting list for Hospital Treatments in england hit a record high of more than seven and a half Million People waiting for the first time. I think ministers in the uk government are aware that this could come back to bite them and are keen to argue that things wouldnt be better under opposition parties, labour and Scottish National party who are in government and control the nhs in wales and scotland. Steve barclay, the english Health Secretary, has pointed to 7,000 people waiting for treatment and wales more than 21,00 people are waiting for certain appointments and treatments in scotland and wales. Those governments have hit back, saying they are not comparing like for like figures because for Waiting Lists, its in different in different types of treatments and statistics and i think its fair to say that certainly, the nhs is facing challenges in every corner of the uk. The uk government will argue that is one reason to bring people together and try to work out solutions to joint challenges but we may see more and more of this kind of attempted comparison between the different nations pitting them against each other. As we come closer to the next general election the Conservative Party will certainly be aware that there will be needing to defend their record on the nhs in england having been in power for about 1k years. Now its time for a look at todays sport. There were games in the Premier League on sunday, both were drawn. It finished 1 1 between chelsea and liverpool at Stamford Bridge liverpool dominated the early stages. Luis diaz scoring the opening goal after 18 minutes. Chelseas equlaiser came before the break, french defender axel disasi scoring on his debut. If you ask me if i was completely happy with the game, no, but i saw enough to say. That was really good, and this period. In the right direction. It was a super intense game. A wild game in moments. We should have controlled it much more often. That would have helped. But for some reason we couldnt do that, didnt do it, we will keep working. Tottenham began life after harry kane with a 2 2 draw at brentford. Both their goals were scored by defenders Cristian Romero with the opener and emerson royal made it 2 2. Brentfords goals came from a bryan mbeumo penalty and they briefly led through yoane wissa. I think we showed again why we can do something again in the Premier League. Constantly push and develop, always want three points no matter who we face. Today i think we could have edged it. We didnt. It was an interesting game for the fans, the neutral watching. Interesting game for the fans, the neutralwatching. I interesting game for the fans, the neutral watching. I guess it was ok. Its the second weekend of the Scottish Premiership season. Champions celtic are top, with two wins out of two. They won 3 1 at aberdeen liel abada, Kyogo Furuhashi and matt oriley with the goals at pittodrie. No goals between hearts and kilmarnock. And mika biereth came off the bench and scored what proved to be the winner for motherwell against hibernian. Hibernian, two defeats out of two. Defending champions barcelona are in action against getafe. It is goal at approaching half time, barcelona down to ten men, raphinha has been sent off for violent conduct. It looked to be an elbow. Already on sunday, osasuna beat celta vigo 2 0. Real betis defeated villareal 2 1, willianjose with the winner in the 96th minute. Kylian mbappe is now back in the first team fold at Paris St Germain after his Contract Disagreement with the club saw him left out of their Preseason Tour and also the opening game of the season, which he watched from the stands. The french champions could only draw 0 0 with lorient on saturday. Lilia vu romped to victory at the womens open at walton heath in england for her second major title of the year. Vu won by six strokes from englands charley hull. The american began the final round tied with hull for the lead and shot a round of five under, which contained six birdies. Hulls wait for a first major goes on, afterfinishing in a tie for second at the us womens open last month. Belgiums Lotte Kopecky won the womens road race on sunday, for a third gold medal at the world cycling championships. Demi vollering of The Netherlands took silver, just ahead of denmarks Cecilie Ludwig in third, after the 154km race from loch lomond ended with six circuits of glasgow. Kopecky also won golds on the track in scotland in the points and elimination races. Great britain finished top of the medal table Beth Shriever with their 23rd gold as she reclaimed the bmx world title. The olympic champion led from start to finish. The 2018 winner Laura Smulders was second for The Netherlands, with us rider alise willoughby, who won the title in 2019, Crossing The Line in third. And thats all the sport for now. Iranian members of parliament have voted to review a controversial hijab law Behind Closed Doors, meaning it is likely there will be no public debate on the issue. The so called hijab and Chastity Bill would impose new punishments on women who fail to wear the headscarf. The bbc� s Azaday Moshiri explains. The timing of the spill is what makes it so significant, because were only a month away from the one Year Anniversary of mahsa aminis death, the Young Kurdish Woman who died in custody of the Morality Police after allegedly violating the countrys strict dress code. Now, that event led to protests across the country and led to a movement that the government struggled to contain. What were seeing now is a push and pull between a government that wants to protect the mandatory hijab and women in iran who are openly defying it, because as youll see here, the streets of iran in places like the capital tehran, dont look like they did a year ago before these protests erupted. Now, the bill itself is called the hijab and Chastity Bill. And what it would do is enforce new punishments and hefty fines on women who violate this law. But what is also concerning is the fact that Irans Parliament has invoked article 85. The timing of the spill is what makes it so significant, that means that a Parliamentary Committee can now review the bill Behind Closed Doors and then ratify it. Now, once its approved by irans powerful guardian council, mps would then vote on whether it would be enforced on a three to five year trial basis, what they call an experimental basis. All of this means that the particulars of a bill that further criminalises the mandatory hijab could go through without any open debate. Now, this isnt the first time or the first few steps that the iranian government has been taking before this anniversary. Theyve made several moves to further enforce the hijab. And one of those moves, you will remember, was bringing back the Morality Police, the same Morality Police that they took off the streets of iran after the death of mahsa amini. Now, we may not see protests on the scale of what we did before, but women are still openly defying the mandatory hijab law, despite a violent crackdown by the Islamic Republic. And that is going to worry the establishment there, because they see any threat to the mandatory hijab as a threat to the Islamic Republic itself. And theyre going to want to stamp it out. Azadeh moshiri. And staying with iran, Iranian Media is reporting that at least one person has been killed and several others wounded in an attack on a shrine in shiraz. The shrine was the scene of another attack in october, claimed by islamic state, when 13 people died. No group has immediately claimed this latest attack. 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 last month. President bazoum is 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 us he is in regular contact with president barzoum and said his captivity amounted to a breach of the Geneva Convention. The condition of the detention of president bazoum is not acceptable. It is cruel, even a Prisoner Of War under the Geneva Convention are given better conditions of detention. Last week, they tried to starve him, which is simply unacceptable. And below any Military Form of honour. Shes one of the most popular and successful musicians in the world and now, taylor swift has inspired an English Literature course at a university in belgium. Well, earlier i spoke to dr elly mccausland, who will teach the course she told me why students at Ghent University will soon be analysing the songs of the american singer. I think swift is at the height of her popularity, as you mentioned, in some ways the peak of her career. Shes packing out stadiums. Her tour has been in the news, you know, barely a day goes by where shes not making headlines. So it seems very timely to start thinking about, you know, why, what is the reason behind the success . But actually, ive been thinking for quite a long time, for several years about the connections between swifts music and English Literature and sort of especially during the pandemic. In 2020, when she released folklore and evermore, a lot more attention began to be paid to the increasingly literary quality of her work. And i started thinking about parallels with a number of texts from English Literature, and ijust sort of thought, you know, this is something that we should be discussing. We should be thinking about more. And so the time seemed right to put it into practice, to create a course about it. Ive just got to ask, Whatjob Prospects can you have after this course . Well, this is one one course within an entire Masters Degree in English Literature. So its not the degree itself. But i think one of the things its teaching our students is critical thinking, and thats really important. Its opening up literature to an increasingly large audience, and it teaches students to think and make connections between contemporary culture and older texts that they might not have considered in this light before. And just briefly, so we know shes touring at the moment. Shes got a massive fan base. Just how much interest has there been in the course . Quite a lot. I mean, i cant give you Student Numbers yet because our Enrolment Process goes on until late september. But certainly my inbox has been flooded by students both within belgium, but actually a lot of students from Outside Belgium and non students who have expressed a wish to return to university to take this course. So it certainly seems to be proving pretty popular and im anticipating hopefully a full seminar group. She was speaking to me earlier about how taylor swift has inspired an English Literature course at university in belgium. Thank you so much forjoining me, stay with us 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. Volunteers in hawaii helping communities recoverfrom Deadly Wildfires have appealed for more federal aid, as local Relief Operations try to supply food, water and shelter for survivors. The governor of hawaii has warned people to expect the death toll to rise significantly. 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. And the annual Perseid Meteor Shower has lit up skies across the world. It gives Star Gazers The Chance to see up to 100 shooting stars each hour as the earths orbit crosses a debris field left behind by a comet. Now on bbc news click foreveryoung. From the moment we arrive on this planet, we are all heading in the same direction. I could come up with a date predicting when you would die. Well, thanks, but maybe the way that the years play out isnt inevitable
