Where most of those killed lived. Josh green called it a heartbreaking day and likely the worst Natural Disaster in the states history. There will be active recovery over the coming days and weeks of the bones of those who have been lost. So it will take time. To give perspective, it is going to take many years to rebuild lahaina. When you see the full extent of the destruction of lahaina it will shock you. It does appear like a bomb and fire went off, if i may say. And all of those buildings, virtually, are going to have it will be a new lahaina. This is all happening as the extent of the devastation becomes clearer, as our North America correspondent nomia iqbal reports. Much of the Hawaiian Island of maui is now scorched earth. A pilot can hardly believe what hes seeing. Oh, my gosh look at the harbour this looks like baghdad or something. The Historic Town of lahaina barely exists any more. Since the fire began on tuesday, it has ripped through, fuelled by Hurricane Force winds, le

Once again, a big hello and a warm welcome to the show. This was a year when the World Economy went to war as russias military invaded ukraine, bringing death and destruction and misery in its wake, the western allies responded not just with military assistance, but by turning the power of their economies to isolate russia as much as possible. Heres the us President Joe Biden back in april of this year. Theres nothing less happening than major war crimes. Responsible nations hav
A truce in southern gaza. These are the latest pictures from the Rafah Crossing, showing the crowds there. We understand that Un Fuel Trucks did make it across the border this morning. In the past couple of hours, americas top diplomat, antony blinken, has arrived back in israel, from egypt, where he was trying to persuade officials to reopen the border point. Egypts Foreign Minister is reported as saying israel had not yet taken a stance that would allow the crossing to open. Over the weekend, hes held talks in six arab states, wanting to alleviate gazas humanitarian crisis and stop the war escalating. He returns to israel, as it prepares a major Ground Operation in the gaza strip. This is a fast moving story, but here are some other key points. The United Nations is warning that Hospital Fuel Reserves in gaza are likely to run out in the next 2a hours potentially Endangering Thousands of patients. Conditions in the territory are worsening, with shortages of food, water and aid. At le
In gaza, who provided a lot of those pictures, is saying, look, its not happening yet, but for the first time, there are fears that people could die of thirst and hunger. And youve got to bear in mind that rushdi has covered this conflict for decades, and were also beginning to hear that so grim is the situation in the south that there are people who fled down there from the north who are now saying they might as welljust head back in the other direction, back to their homes.

I mean, weve seen the Israeli Forces gathering on the border of gaza for days now, almost more than a week.

Of duty, candy crush and World Of Warcraft is the biggest in gaming history. The takeover was blocked in april this year by the uks Competition Regulator over concerns the us Computing Giant would secure too strong a foothold in the nations cloud gaming market. The delay has been a setback for microsoft, which at the time called the british decision bad for britain and the companys darkest day in its four decades of working in the uk. Well, i think for gamers theres going to be very little thats going to become apparent immediately. And one of the reasons for that is that because of the delay in getting this deal done, microsoft and activision have ended up missing the christmas and holiday promotional season. Therell be no joint promotions. Therell be no joint initiatives. It will really be 2024 before we see activision games on microsofts Subscription Service game pass. And then it be 2025 before we see call of duty, which is the one game that everyone is really looking forward to.
