We can quite clearly see the town of lahaina now and you can make out the landscape above the town where the grass is burning and what happened with the Hurricane Blowing away 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 that fire and bringing them directly into the town. They didnt stand a chance. Inside, there is little left. Just a remnant of shattered lives and livelihoods. A reminder of the deep humanitarian need here. As the aid is brought ashore, many of those helping out have also been affected by the fire. I was fighting for my life with my for a year old boy in my hands. In my head, i was thinking thats it. My my head, i was thinking thats it. My boy helped me survived. This footaae my boy helped me survived. This footage shows my boy helped me survived.

My colleague Helena Humphrey is at the harbour in maui. Here at the harbour in maui, you can see boats behind me. These are boats used by volunteers to get those much needed supplies into lahaina which you can see far over there behind me, which essentially has been decimated by this fire and we are hearing that residents here that have survived are in dire need of everything, from food to clean drinking water, all kinds of supplies and increasingly we are seeing frustrating growing that that aid isnt getting on. We know that the Road To Lahaina has been blocked. In many cases, we are seeing that its volunteers that are trying anything they can to get aid.

Blakes story there, moving and like so many other people in lahaina who have lost absolutely everything, the death toll is that 93. But what weve been told is that it is likely to go up further. 1000 people are still unaccounted for and in lahaina, people are still searching through the rubble to try and know more about their loved ones. It is an incredibly moving experience. Helena, thank you. A lot of frustration and sadness there from local residents and we will bring you more on that story as we get it. And that was Helena Humphrey their reporting. 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. On saturday 509 people made thejourney across the channel to the uk. ani 509 people made thejourney across the channel to the uk. That has brought to the total number of people crossing this year to well over 16,000. The total number who have crossed the channel since 2018 is now over 100,000. More now from our correspondent simonjones. 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. Processed 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 that theyre allowed to get on and live the rest of their lives happily, but also action on these criminal gangs. The government says new legislation is beginning to have an impact on the exploitative Business Model of the smugglers. And it insists increased patrols on beaches in Northern France alongside a new Returns Agreement with albania are delivering results. There are record numbers of people arriving in europe at the moment, but the actual numbers coming from france into the United Kingdom have gone down. Theres a lot of work thats 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. Its going to continue to be a problem. But we have stopped a lot. Today, the winds of 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 well 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. Simonjones, bbc news, dover. 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. He she said his personal guards should have prevented the killing. He 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. Our South America Correspondent Katy Watson has this report. Two daughters remembering their father. A very personal goodbye after what was a very public murder. This was the moment leaving a Campaign Event that Fernando Villavicencio was gunned down by a man whod exposed a man whod exposed corruption, a man who said he wasnt afraid. The supporters had enough of the violence. He says the police are hypocrites for failing to protect Fernando Villavicencio. Six colombians have been arrested and are now injail. Meanwhile, the country is in a state of emergencyjust days meanwhile, the country is in a state of emergency. Just days on from losing her husband, his widow spoke out overnight. The bulletproof vest and helmet, a clear sign of the dangers she, too, faces. Have protected him. The state was in charge of fernandos 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 personal guards did not do theirjob. Environmentalist Andrea Gonzalez was his running mate. Shes agreed to take his place and keep his legacy going. I never thought this would be permanent, she said. Fernando villavicencio was well aware of the risks he was taking by speaking out against corruption and organised crime. And organised crime. Just a few days before his murder, hed said hed been warned. Keep mentioning the tornados gang, and they would break him. At dawn today, one of the gangs leaders, jose adolfo macias, also known as fito, was transferred to another prison, an operation involving thousands of police and soldiers. But then these videos surfaced. Warnings behind bars sent from different prisons and a simple message for ecuador� s president , guillermo lasso. He says move is a smokescreen to hide his own connections with criminal gangs. And then came the threat, keep fito alive for the well being of ecuadorians. If not, thousands will die. More evidence is needed to showjust how powerful organised crime is in ecuador. This used to be one of the more peaceful countries in south america. Now, mexican and colombian cartels vying for territory have taken over. This is a battle of power between cartels and politicians, but who ultimately wins . Theres a great deal of fear as the campaign enters its final week. Katy watson, bbc news. 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 this bill 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. 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. 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. In new zealand, there has been a dramatic rise in the number of teenagers vaping, as Cigarette Smoking fell to its lowest ever levels. Its prompted the government there to ban most disposable vapes and Vaping Stores selling such products. Our correspondent, shaimaa khalil, sent this report. There are probably more teens that do vape that dont at school and they pack out the bathrooms. Coco was 12 when she vaped for the first time. She is now 15 and trying to quit. Weve changed her name and voice to protect identity. It got more accessible for me so i got addicted. Everyone around me was vaping at the time, and then thats when also the colourful flavours came out and thatjust got every kid on it. Vaping is now the habit of choice for millions of young people around the world like coco. Its illegal to sell it to under 18s but she tells me thats never stopped her or her friends. The older kids sell to the younger kids and lots of shops dont check id. You can just walk in there, you can even go in your uniform and theyll sell it to you. Were coming up here to the other vape shop, whichever gate the kids come out, theres a vape shop. Theres one just here. Like many mothers, Marnie Wilton is worried about how prevalent vaping has become. And this is the primary school, 60 metres away. She said new regulations which include keeping any new vape shops more than 900 feet from schools, failed to address the problem. Absolutely does not go far enough to help our children. The law is that the government announced, the new laws, do nothing to affect existing stores that are already built. Only a few weeks before the roles were due to come into effect, and other vapeshop opened near local school. Parents take the streets saying their children being protected. Pineapple ice is not targeting a person whos been smoking for 30 years. Vaughn keough has witnessed firsthand how schools have become the epicentre of vaping. A lot of which, he says, is targeted at youngsters. From a Product Marketing and trying to capture a market perspective. Some genius work has gone on, but its not, its not helping young people. It might be helping people get off smoking and all good, carry on with that. But theres far too many young people that never would have even picked up or even thought about picking up a cigarette and have got two or three vapes in different pockets and different jackets. And thats just not cool. Neighbouring australia has taken a hard line approach, banning recreational vaping. Ben uddin says that new zealand, like the uk, is aiming for a more holistic method. Theres no doubt that our Smoking Rates have benefited hugely from Tens Of Thousands of people switching from smoking to vaping. Weve seen Smoking Rates drop a third here. We need to talk to kids around, vaping exists. Are you experimenting . How do you resist experimenting . What are the skills to say no to somebody trying to sell it to you in the street or encourage you to try it . And then we need to treat the kids who are showing signs of dependence. Its a tough balance to strike. Vaping may have started as a solution to smoking, but it has got its own uncontrollable problem. The annual perseeid Meteor Shower has lit up skies across the world to the delight of those hoping to catch a glimpse of a shooting star. This is a time lapse from croatias lastovo island. Its one of the highlights of the year for stargazers, 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. Earlier i spoke to dr megan argo, an astrophysicist at the university of lancashire, and i asked her whether she was one of the lucky ones that saw this spectacular display. I didnt see very many, it was quite cloudy where i was yesterday, so i didnt see too many, but i did see a lot of Light Pollution. You can get up to 100 or so per hour, as you say. They can be quite small between expected from Shooting Stars and meteors. Unless you live somewhere or can get somewhere with the dark skies, with Light Pollution in the city, youre unlikely to see very many and that was the case with me last night, unfortunately. For anyone who doesnt know about the perseid, tell us a bit more about it. What is it and why exactly does it happen . It happens pretty much the same time every year as particles from the sun in its orbit is almost circular, and we pass through the debris that was left behind when comets pass through the solar system. This particular one doesnt come across very often, an orbital period of 133 years. We will not see it again in our lifetimes, but as it goes through our system, it leaves behind a trail of debris, bits of rock in the comet belt, and the trail of debris is what passes through around this time of year. We see meteors as a result of the Debris Shooting around the atmosphere. Its actually active not just for the night of the 12th of august, you can actually see meteors all the way from the end ofjuly to the end of august, so if you missed it last night, if you can get somewhere with clear skies, you still have a reasonable chance of quite a few meteors, not as much as last night but still a good amount. What tips do you have for anyone who wants to catch a glimpse of this, to maximise the chances of spotting a Meteor Shower . The best way to see it is to go as dark as possible. Find somewhere safe to be in the dark and with friends, and blankets are good because they can get quite cold but after dark, the later the time, the better. Stay with us here on bbc news. Hello there. This upcoming week looks to be one of mixed fortunes. Were starting the week off with low pressure, much like we had over the weekend, but it could be really quite wet across england and wales in particular on monday. Then from tuesday onwards, High Pressure starts to build in. Thatll settle things down, itll turn drier and also warm up by the end of the week, but also turn more humid. And there is an increasing chance of showers or thunderstorms as low pressure tries to push in off the atlantic. Back to the here and now, though, monday looks pretty unsettled for england and wales. A cloudy, wet starts with the heaviest rain across wales. Northern england could see some localised flooding as this rain continues to move northwards and improvements across the rest of england and wales into the afternoon. Sunny spells, scattered showers and not a bad day for scotland and northern ireland. Fewer showers here, more in the way of sunshine, light winds here, but fresher across southern and southeastern areas. Those temperatures range from 18 23 degrees. And then as we head through monday night, that area of low pressure continues to pull out into the north sea. Many places will turn drier, one or two showers around, but lengthy, clear skies and temperatures range from 11 14 degrees. So as we head into tuesday, then were in between Weather Systems and higher pressure trying to build in. So a much better day for most areas. Certainly for england and wales on tuesday could just see the back edge of that low Pressure System Clipping east and scotland with strong winds, outbreaks of rain. But that will clear away and into the afternoon. Many places will see sunny spells and just a few showers, mostly light, but the odd heavy one couldnt be ruled out. So it could be up to 22 or 2a degrees in the southeast with lighter winds, more sunshine for wednesday. For wednesday, High Pressure sits on top of the country. Itll stay dry for most places and winds will be very light. So we could start off a little bit mist and fog, some low cloud central Northern Areas through the afternoon or therell be plenty of sunshine. There could still be an isolated shower through central and Northern Areas, but itll feel a little bit warmer at this point. We could be up to 25 degrees, the warmest spots of the south. And then thursday, friday, we see High Pressure to the east, lower pressure to the west. Thatll start to draw in some warm and humid air off the near continent on a southeasterly breeze. So it really will warm up across southern and eastern areas towards the end of the week. Could be the mid to high 20s, but there will be an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms moving in from the west. 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. 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 now on bbc news island games one sporting family. This is vazon bay in guernsey. On a sunny day like this, its easy to see why so many come to dip their toes into island life. Scattered across the world, island communities dont often get the chance to get together and show what they can achieve
