A new program aimed at reducing overcrowding of jail. And everything still to play in the womens football world comp suite in surprise. Quarter final victory over former champions. Japan means all the previous windows are out of the running that and more in sports the im going go, crap. Welcome to the program. At least 55 people have died of wildfires on 2 hawaiian islands. Many more still missing, the governor there says the blazes are the states worst Natural Disaster ever. Residents have been shocked by the speeds with which the fire spread and many report, harrowing escapes. The Tropical Island now we is unrecognizable. Of the search is ongoing for hundreds missing. After flames found by dustin hurricane traveled along the coast with alarming speed, wiping out an entire town in their pass. Son survived by jumping into the pacific ocean. We left our vehicle at my, my phone live and our 5 kids we are inside. The search together held. The fire has decimated entire communities, turning more than a 1000 homes into piles of ash and debris, leaving thousands of locals, homeless vacuum who left the days ago are starting to return, basically shooting our Burning House right through the camera lines, right, there are whats left and this is our 1st time coming back and like actually knowing that our house for now we havent really known anything for the last couple of days. The disaster is one of the deadliest in the us states. History is a heart breaking day. Without a doubt. What weve seen today has been catastrophic, but we tell you there is going to be a team effort to bring our state back. Experts say Climate Change is increasing the frequency and severity for extreme weather events. And one of those experts is made urologist matthew cup, which he has been following developments in hawaii earlier. I asked him if these wildfires are different to those of hawaii is used to see. So yeah, most definitely, i gotta say this is likely the worst and most definitely disaster in hawaii is history. Unfortunately, in terms of buyers or anything of that nature, it is a possible sort of natural variability, a natural chaos, weather conditions and stuff like that. And a land use change, and so for starters, we had just down, right, that was, its been very dry lately. Theres an ongoing drought, the latest, more susceptible to bring that to issue number one. We also to drop the Storm Hurricane move about roughly a 1000 kilometers and south for why, but just enough to slightly string winds and cost to Something Else will be coming out in accelerating and heating up and drawing a little bit exacerbated naturally. Because when the conditions, one powerful one spark, thats all it takes to go down, because fire to can rapidly spread, it wouldnt conditions and right here like that. But the issue is that theres been so Much Development of hawaii in the past several years. Weve seen and neighborhoods expand, we see much more material to burn and so fire can really just double up everything nearby. And that unfortunately was the case, especially because it moved towards the coastline offer many people know escape options. So youre, youre listing a whole litany of factors that kind of came together. Would you therefore call this a freak event, or is this something that officials, they are, could have foreseen . I would say this is a freak event, but inherently, any wildfire will be sort of a freak event. Unless this is a systematic thing. I think one thing that we need to Pay Attention to, especially in the future for fireball and populations. Fireball in the communities is making sure we have escape options, making sure the roadways can handle more capacity than they need to. Its just like a Hurricane Evacuation telling me to make sure the roadways can get people out. We also need to make sure that we have on where were done in the ways to communicate. For this instance, the cell service went down. So a lot of folks didnt get the emergency alerts. They needed to know where to go, how to stay safe. And so while we get this feature and try to think, how can we maximize or heights of at least mitigating and minimizing the taxes, those seeing these things in the future, and also seeing these things happening all around the world right now. Hawaii is just one place where these kinds of intense fire awhile fires are happening. Is there anything, can we talk about something thats linking these are there . Is there a Common Thread here . I think these are different types of wildfire. This was sort of an urban neighborhood type, fires a lie that unfortunately over very populous area, were talking about fires in north america, out west mercenaries of world regions. Those have been much more for linked to human induced Climate Change. We know that the area burned by wild buyers, hes growing each year. Were seeing more 3 fire behavior because especially with the west and us as a land heats off, it dries out even more that makes it easier to oversee temperature wise. We designate the landscape and have a higher we comfortable mosque where the ceiling of the lower atmosphere. So the fire burn color, the smoke for them to go higher. The leaf expertise you into the atmosphere. And like we said, fire behaviors, i think the latest parts of north america, they sell parts asia for an island like hawaii. Its a little bit tougher to make that link. But that link me some exists. We just need more time to sort of go back into the data. All right, me or ill expensive to put you in wash and bring us the latest on a long list of factors that brought this fire about thanks very much. I are you turning out some other stories making news right now. Fragments of a Russian Missile have fallen onto the grounds of a Childrens Hospital and keys. It was shut down by Ukrainian Air defenses. Mayer vitality cush ago says no one was hurt. Explosions were also heard as sirens warned people to take shelter. Authorities in moscow have pointed off a part where they say they successfully intercepted a Ukrainian Drone. The Defense Ministry says the aircraft crashed when it was electronically jammed. Its the latest apparent Ukrainian Drone attack on russia this week has been asking for these missiles for months. Tensor olaf sholtes has so far opposed sending longer range weapons to ukraine. If they are delivered, the missiles would probably be modified to limit their range of the tal risk christmas style capable of hitting targets up to 500 kilometers away. The long range capability of these messiahs is the main advantage. And the reason why germany is hesitant to transfer them to ukraine. Critics argue with this quote in a bit key to a tech russian territory, not as the 12 got any sense of the nature of countries of agreed that the alliance should not be drawn into this constellation of washington and bow lane attach. Great importance to this is therefore the re key point here is the range of the whether or not we supply money with which one can attack targets not directly related to military operations in ukraine. In the old cutting, it was on german use. Outage eager reports German Defense minister bowers pissed char. We s as in talks with a manufacturer of the marseilles, the objective we pro, getting their target system to limit its range and prevent you creating a text on russian territory. Descript. Last weeks too long for critics and the Main Opposition PartyUkrainian Aircraft are in a very small number in a bad condition. And there is no answer priority in the occupied areas for ukraine. And therefore, it will tell us to send these midsize from several 100 kilometers a broad german trans. The olaf schultz is known for his course and when it comes to delivering heavy alms to ukraine and taking his time about making decisions. Probably hoffman is a Doctoral Research fellow at the university of oslo and a military expert. I asked him earlier whether these missiles are what ukraine needs most right now. Yeah, absolutely. So its, its another type of long range stripe. What phones that the credit has received a bunch of over the last couple of months 1st from the United Kingdom, which sent the storm shadow, christmas all and then from frost with the same result but which is known in paris under the name of the golf ici. And the thing is, these miss office things, they are very effective in targeting russian positions, logistical halls, house transportation, notes of food are behind the front line, which is important for, for ukraine. And the big thing about tar was always the simply another type of long range try some that can effectively try it. Russian troops behind the phone, but now you mentioned a long range and that seems to be what would germanys concerns are. What do you make of germanys concerns that have been holding up these missiles so far as well . Yeah. As far as, as a range of over 500 kilometers officially. So we dont know the exact range over the last couple of days. A range of around 700 kilometers was loaded, but this is difficult to confirm with all the access to classified information and the fear it seems within the s p d. And the by the sound driven politicians was that these we saw systems truth be used to not only strike targets russian august inside the crane, but also to strike targets deep inside russia potentially even expanding into moscow itself. And that wasnt a concern by chancellor shoals who stated that these back on the systems to be very escal atari nature, to, to their ability to stripe russian homeland targets. It seems to be that there has, has been a sea change and also has changed his position on the implications of the Weapon System and is now willing to provide tours myself along with stripe weapons to france. Im trying to understand both the tactical and strategic significance of a missile like this, a long range missile on one hand. These are long range weapons. On the other hand, were seeing a kind of fighting that we havent seen since world war one, which is very up close and very personal and very deadly. So how does a long range weapon like this play into what the actual fighting on the ground were seeing is or yeah, absolutely. So the, the big deal is that these, what comes is the kind of have side effects not only at the tactical level of welfare, as we call it. So very close to the front line with troops and, and firing squads all the way to engage in direct contact with each other. But also extend further into the operational perhaps giving us a teaching level of welfare. And that is, for example, where commander posts are, are station ways the munition, the powers. We use the logistical house. And they of course, army that to organize and supply the fighting thats happening directly on the phone line. So if you take out using critical operational level targets as we call the and that will have the effect on whats happening on the front line. All right, fabi and hoffman from the university of oslo. Thanks for those insights. Youre welcome. Thanks honey. Mercenaries from Russias Wagner group in bella. Ruths are returning to russia just weeks after arriving. Thats going to the washington base institute for the study of war or a fort from them suggest the belly mercy, and leader Alexander Lucas shanker has refused to finance the Russian Private army which has been allowed to operate in belarus. After a short lived uprising against the kremlin in june, the wagner group mercenaries, training batteries and military personnel. Just last month. That a races, ministry of defense, released the footage, which claims to show the group who were alive to setup comp in the country. By liter, Alexander Lucas shank. Go. That came as a result of a deal. He brokered in june that put an end tour revolt against his close ally russian president Vladimir Putin by bag nurse and rece. The seats was launched by their leader. You have given you pre goshen way of navea. Lucas. Chicago has appeared to welcome wagner mercenaries being in his country. Theres a new fish on the display for which end these may wagner are helping us for free, even though their mercenaries who fought and worked everywhere for money for to bring us a jeweler. To be honest, if i want to keep them as a unit here to their real fighters who have been through a warfare by 2 percent should, should as well, you know, but, you know, the wagner mercenaries appeared to be setting up a base and batteries the satellite images from june, purporting to show a military facility under construction, not far from the capital means, but now just a week later, there are unconfirmed reports that a majority of the mercenaries have been kicked out of batteries by the countries leader, Alexander Lucas. Shank bought a 5 thing or is a retired Brigadier General from austrias armed forces. And now the president of the center for strategic analysis of in a base think tank, or they were asked him about loggers future. And when he knows about the groups latest movements, it is the big question mark, how strong is that . Why going to room today . And they are, are they located . Because when you say read messages, the 1st one is that some of them i cannot find those joined the russian regulatory. I mean, some of them went to been or is some of been hit holidays. Its mr. Because encoded and solve them by engaging in africa and other places as we know. So the real key gets their re location. Now its totally up to you and actually is also the aim, of course, the pre gosh, and what he wants to do. The next few weeks, i guess even mercenaries, i guess, deserve some vacation now and then. Um, so bella rose, russia, why does it matter . Why should we care where this mercenary group is actually based . It is really important because nobody knows wont be be the next go to the group we have we been be engaged. So it was very clear from the 1st moment at the end of june at that, the reason thats the very long embarrass because it was only entered in period that was clear from the beginning because of the really the tasks fail to drain the been russian army is not very important, time, time consuming and long lasting task for them. So it was clear, he said it was only in interpreting step, waiting for the next the next. What could it be . Could it be in the engagement . Been ukraine . Could it be a strong encased Maintenance Unit of the group that has not been doing for us to precaution . Possibly be anything for us to go to. Right. And you bring up a lot of questions there and theres more questions just that. The recent timeline, of course, wagner was for a long time closely associated with, with proven that helps you know, see his interest through around the world. Then came the rebellion in june. That was very short lived. What would you say now is the relationship between the group and rushes, various security interest around the world, stairs some indications that there are strong times to be the rush, the rigorous enforcing student from mississippi goshen himself and his groups. And that the strong pass also be really important. Id say probably because he goes in russia, how the quantity or relationship continues that he is on the vehicle with you. Because pre goshen use for the thinking is danger form is the cool thing i would say. So it kind of being the interest with mr. Booth in the future, him a strong role in the future. Right. That is one of the big points. And if you were just because theyre watching a group, insurance can be very useful from the poop in president clinton and, and the russia barclays to because she still is a french. And hes pretty think a road. So i could expect that to really be a division between myself because in himself as a person i. So the indian walk in a group is an instrument when it comes to wagner, always more questions and answers, but lots of flesh thing, or theyre bringing us some of the latest insights from the standard procedure analysis in austria, thanks very much for joining us. Thank you. Now lets get you a wrap of some other news happening right now. Hundreds of demonstrators have gathered in Central Point of holidays.

Former south african president , jacob zoom is back home after a brief stint in prison sumo was set to restart a sentence he began 2 years ago for refusing to answer questions over. Corruption allegations is arrest sparked large riots that left hundreds of people dead, 80 or 81 year old. Former president only serve 2 out of his 15 month sent in some 2021 before being fried on medical parole. A release that was later found to be unlawful in zoom was ordered back to jail. But he was there for less than an hour after being sent home under a new program to avoid prison overcrowding. We are its getting more on his back and forth with dw corresponded diane hawker following a story differently on his birthday. And thanks for joining us right now. Tell us more about this program that has allowed zoom to walk free from jail, essentially, or well, surprisingly the department of Correctional Services this morning and found that they would be not only releasing former prisoners, jacob gerber, but what they called a 9500. 00 people who were going to benefit from a sentence, Remission Program was essentially means that these prisoners were non violent offended as would be either serving at least a portion of the sentence. Oh, depending on how much time is lived actually be allowed to go free. This is august to be something that would benefit the former president. He had about 13 months left of that sentence. And as the content of both of quote offender, it would be considered a non violent crime. I see. So everyone from the president on down to anyone else who might be in prison. A critics might be saying though, that hes receiving preferential treatment given his high profile status. Are there any signs of any truth of this . Well i think the timing of the announcement definitely does raise some concerns of the department of Correctional Services. Said that they began to process as early as april this year, but only maybe announcement this week. In fact, the morning that symbol was expected to return to prison. So theres definitely a lot of questions about the timing of deputies. However, they have been some other extenuating circumstance circumstances. There was a major fire and riot at one of the prisons in south africa, which has list of the overcrowding in the worst states. The Department Said that be, were about 3000. 00 prisoners, didnt have a bids to sleep in. And they say that this also led to this decision taking place at this time. But of course, Opposition Party lead is all very unhappy with the decision saying that its pretty racial treatment and the amc or making decisions that the benefits of the Agency Members says he may be out of jail. But is he out of the woods . What other legal headaches is he facing . Certainly not out of the woods williams, because hes actually due to reappear for his criminal case in court next week. Thats a criminal case thats been dragging for some time. Hes been appearing on an old, but the actual proceedings have not begun. Its because of the various objections that sumac himself has been raising due to the processing that the prosecution has treated you unfairly. And as a result, we havent actually seen the single witness on the stand as yet. And theres also the violence to keep in mind related to zoom is arrest. Are people worried there that there could be further violence depending what happens to him next . I would imagine that this decision williams would actually stay of any such violence, and perhaps that is why it came about in this manner. They have been previous threats, but if assume i would to return to prison that those of the people who support him would return to the streets. And many south africans have been very concerned about that taking place. This decision now the, the hands gaining the quotes to conclude his criminal case, and well have to see what will happen in that instance. Right. Do you have your course mind time . How could there with the latest in south africa, thanks very much the to the football world cup course. We didnt have shot favorites japan to one to power into the semi finals. And they also knocked out the title holders the United States in the last round.

Song give you sports correspond, holler, moody was at the game in auckland. He told me how sweet in hand bells write the team of the tournament. So far out. Japan had become the neutrals favored with the exciting style of play and the goal happy performances. But today they run into a yellow and blue brick wall. Sweden played this game to affection. They were too well organized for the counselor attacks and said depends so well up until now at this tournament, they would to physical to let japan play through them. And they were happy as well more than happy, in fact, to go through by scoring, scrappy goals. Japan do does have some credit, i think from bouncing a light fight back button. Theyre passing, right .
