Teacher audelia has lived here since the late 1990s la campanera, in the capitals notorious soyapango district. More than 20 years ago, rival gangs the ms 13 and the 18th Street Gang took control of neighbourhoods across the country. They became, in effect, no go areas for outsiders and the police. Thousands were murdered or caught in the crossfire. And in those years of the growth of the gangs, can you explain to us what it was like living here . But in the last 12 months, audelia has witnessed the change on these streets that she never thought possible. For the past year, el salvador has been living under an Emergency Measure called the state of exception. Police and military have been mobilised in vast numbers and some Constitutional Rights suspended. Defeating the gangs was one of the main election promises of nayib bukele, a former Marketing Executive turned president. So, whats the policy meant on the streets . In the suburbs of san salvador, another Security Patrol is about to s
This pilot, hovering above a swimming pool, now being used to douse the flames further down the hill. These homes, some distance from the destroyed coastal town of lahaina, are in the centre of the island where, last week, just before the fires, the cameras at this Bird Sanctuary captured a bright flash. Staff believe it is a tree falling on a powerline. Shortly afterwards, flames can be seen in the forest. Ross hart saw something similar before his home burned down. We could hear some trees falling here and there in the distance. One big one fell here on the bridge and it knocked over the powerlines. And then you saw the house. You could see it burn . I saw it begin to burn and they wouldnt let me stay to watch it. They were dragging me out because the embers were starting to come over my truck and stuff. Questions are now being asked about whether lives might have been saved. Should mauis power grid have been turned off . Could more have been done to Sound The Alarm . For many of tho
Lets go live now to our reporter on the ground in maui, helena humphrey. Helena, the governor of hawaii, josh green, has been speaking again today. What has he been saying . He has been giving up statement in that update he warned once again as he appears to be doing daily now that the death toll which is already significant is likely to rise. He has also been speaking about how it was that these wildfires were able to move so quickly and he said authorities now believe that one of the fires they believed to be extinguished in fact was not and when we saw high winds of a 70 mph, that allow them to take hold. He said at one moment they believe that these fires were moving at a frightening pace of one mile every minute, leaving residents of lahaina with very little time to escape. He has also spoken with the federal response he says the Us Health Department is now involved in more Tree Services and are receiving more us assistance to remove toxic waste in the area of lahaina. He has also
The beginning and im so pleased with the performance of the players, very pleased with the staff. If you asked me if i was completely happy with the game, no, but i saw enough to say, so that was really good and in periods, we step further in the right direction. It was a super intense game. A wild game in moments and we should have controlled it much more often. That would have helped, for some reason we couldnt do that, or didnt do, and now we will keep working. Well away from the pitch, liverpool and chelsea have been engaged in something of a tug of war for brightons midfielder moises caicedo. Chelsea was always the ecuadorean s preferred destination and a deal has been agreed for his transfer to Stamford Bridge for an initialfee of £100 million, rising to 115. That would be a british record. This is pending a medical and all the usual personal terms but it would appear that chelsea have got their man, even though brighton had also been prepared to sell to liverpool. In sundays ot
Im here on the road to lahaina. This is as close as we can get to the community. And what i want to show you right now is the scene here. If we just move over here i want to give you a picture of these dry conditions here on the island of maui. You can see there the dry grass, the drought here, which has been a persistent problem for many months. You can also see the high winds. And these high winds really have been an issue in fanning those flames and they are leading to more concerns, ever present concerns from authorities about the prospect for flare ups in these places. Im going to move out of the way so you can look over my shoulder here. What you can see is this is the last Police Check Point here on the road to lahaina here, everyone on the road here is stopped and asked questions about why they are going on. And many people are then forced to turn around in this lane here and essentially turned back, because right now they are only allowing Emergency Workers in. Its coming at a
