Beginning to accord a rightful place to those men and women of the Windrush Generation. You look beautiful. How are you . It is, i believe, crucially important that we should truly see and hear these pioneers who stepped off the Empire Windrush at Tilbury Injune 1948, only a few months before i was born. And those who followed over the decades to recognise and celebrate the immeasurable difference that they, their children and their grandchildren have made to this country. Many served with distinction in the British Armed forces during the second world war, just as their fathers and grandfathers had in the first world war. Once in britain, they worked hard, offering their skills to rebuild a country during peacetime and seeking opportunities to forge a Better Future for themselves and their families.

Lahaina is now contained. The pulehu fire, in the middle of the island, is about 70 contained. And officials are also dealing with a third fire in upcountry maui, with no estimate on its containment. In just over four days, the fires have burned roughly 2,000 acres, and have destroyed more than 1,000 buildings. These are images from the Historic Town of lahaina, which was hardest hit. Local officials are allowing residents and tourists back into the town, but a nightly curfew is in place. We are now beginning to learn about the harrowing stories of survivors like this one, where one family was forced tojump into the ocean to escape the flames.
