on migration? good evening. an hawaiian paradise has been turned into an inferno by wildfire. president biden has declared a major disaster on the island of maui. at least 36 people have lost their lives so far with the coastal tourist town lahaina razed to the ground. thousands have had to flee and as you can see most houses have been destroyed. people have told how they ran into the ocean as the fire swept through the town. it's not know how the fires started, but the ground is tinder dry after recent hot weather and the flames have been fanned by strong winds from hurricane dora, cutting across the pacific ocean. let's go live now to our north america correspondent, nomia iqbal. she is outside the white house for us now. as one official in hawaii put it, we were expecting rain, we were expecting a flood in, but we were not expecting this. people had been warned of a hurricane but it did not make landfall so the speed at which these wildfires have spread and the intensity of them have taken people by surprise. thousands of tourists have been flown out of hawaii but as for the residents of the island, president biden has issued this disaster declaration which will provide a lot of things such as housing, money and health assistance to help people. much of the hawaiian island of maui is now scorched earth. a pilot can hardly believe what he is seeing.— earth. a pilot

island of hawaii has never really seen anything like this. and in the same way these wildfires were unexpected, also unknown is just how long this will last and how long the recovery will last and how long the recovery will take. 0k, many thanks, nomia iqbal reporting their. the nhs waiting list for routine hospital treatment in england has reached a record high at nearly 7.6 million. the figures, from the end ofjune, mean one in seven of the population is waiting for hospital care. nhs providers, which represents health trusts in england, says the numbers aren't surprising, given the diffculties the nhs has been facing, including the pandemic, and strikes by health care workers. here's our health editor, hugh pym, with the details. yes, reeta. another record high for the nhs waiting list in england. let's look at the details. there were 7.57 million people waiting for planned treatment injune, up by 100,000 on the month and compared with 4.57 million injanuary 2020 — before the pandemic. exactly 3 million higher injune. the list covers those waiting for operations, procedures and appointments but not emergencies. the department of health said the longest waits had been reduced and new diagnostic centres were being opened. a&e units were very busy injuly. in england, 26% of patients waited longer than four hours to be assessed or treated. it was about the same in scotland and wales but over 47% in northern ireland. long waits for treatment are tough for patients. the pain is debilitating. clare has been waiting more than a year for treatment after a back injury. physio didn't do the trick and she's been told by a consultant she may well need an operation, but she's heard no more. it could be irreversible nerve damage. i mean, you think the word irreversible, you just think the longer i'm leaving this, the worse it's going to be and it's like it could be dealt with and then, you know, the quality of my life later on is going to be better. andrew needs a skin cancer patch removed from his face. last december, he was told it should be done within six to eight weeks. he's finally been given a date, though with a warning it could be postponed. it's very worrying. i'm very scared, really. everything you read says it's an easily treatable form of skin cancer, as long as it's treated early. and this, to me, it will be eight months later and that's not early treatment, in my opinion. cancer charities are concerned at delays to treatment, which should happen within two months. i can't stress how much for patients it's important to have their treatment within the 62 days. we know that for every four weeks' delay in cancer treatment, there can be an up to 10% increase in death rate. this is vital for patients. nhs england said record numbers of cancer checks were being carried out and health leaders pointed to doctors' strikes as one reason for the overall waiting list growing. the biggest issues were both covid and we've got the backlog from the pandemic and that's why we knew the waiting lists would grow, but we had good, robust plans to challenge and to get those back under control. the industrial action does disrupt us. the doctors' union, the bma, said the waiting list was growing long before the strikes and the main problem was under investment. another four—day strike in england begins tomorrow. hugh pym, bbc news. well, rishi sunak has made cutting nhs waiting lists one of his key priorities in government. let's cross to westminster and to our political correspondent, jonathan blake. it's going the wrong way at the moment — is this goal at all within the government's grasp? the pledge sounded simple enough, didn't it? waiting lists will fall and people will get the care they need more quickly but easier said than done for the prime minister. downing street don't pretend these figures are good news overall that they do point to the numbers waiting longer than a year coming down and they say things are going in the right direction there but overall they argued that the longer strikes continue in the nhs, the harder it will be to bring waiting lists down. and labour, to an extent, agreed, saying the longer strikes go on, the longer patients will wait but they accuse rishi sunak of failing to negotiate an outcome to bring an end to the industrial action. the prime minister has talked about spring next year when he thinks waiting lists should start to come down overall. as we have heard, there are more strikes to come in the immediate future and that is one factor, but far from the only factor that makes rishi sunak �*s aim of bringing down waiting lists overall look right now a long way off. thank ou, look right now a long way off. thank you. jonathan _ blake. two days after the police service of northern ireland mistakenly made public the identities of 10,000 employees, its chief constable has apologised for what he called an "industrial scale breach of data." police officers, many of whom try not to reveal their occupation, even to family, because of security concerns, are said by their union to be shocked and fearful. the chief constable, simon byrne, said they had not be able to verify a claim by dissident republicans that they had obtained the staff list. here's sarah girvin. the terrorism threat level in northern ireland is severe — that's the highest in the uk — and it's because of that threat that some police officers keep theirjobs secret from people in their community, their friends, even their children. today, the force's most senior officer acknowledged claims that dissident republicans are in possession of information from the data breaches. this is a claim. we haven't yet been able to verify what the substance is behind that claim, or see any of the information that dissident republicans assert that they have. but as you would imagine, we're keeping this under review. i and the senior team apologise unreservedly for what has happened here. you can only imagine the sort of unconscionable horror as people start to realise that maybe a loved one is being put injeopardy but what they have seen. this morning's emergency meeting here at the policing board had been due to last for around two hours. the chief constable, simon byrne, had cut a holiday short to be here, but four hours later, he was still answering questions from politicians about the data breaches. recent attacks will be fresh in the minds of officers here. dissident republican terrorists shot and seriously injured this senior detective, john coldwell, just a few months ago. daily routines for police in northern ireland involve checking for explosives under their vehicles and varying the way they travel. some of them work in particularly sensitive areas for m15 and in covert operations. today policing board members said officers were anxious and fearful. i can only imagine the stress that this is causing some families. i think right across the organisation, but particularly for officers from nationalist backgrounds who have been subject to a higher level of threat over the years. a separate data breach happened injuly when documents, a police radio and a laptop with officers' details were stolen from a car, but that wasn't made public until yesterday. we have means of wiping those devices remotely. you will also be aware that laptops are protected by passwords. the priority for the psni will be keeping its staff safe. after that, it will be working hard to rebuild trust in a police force where morale is at rock bottom. sarah girvin, bbc news, belfast. the budget retailer wilko, which has been on the uk high street for over 90 years, has collapsed, putting more than 12,000 jobs at risk. the company, which has more than 400 stores across the uk, says it "left no stone unturned" in its attempts to save emma simpson has more. how can a budget retailer collapse in a cost of living crisis when people are on the hunt for deals? here in slough, everyone we spoke to loved their wilko. all my household goods, cleaning, washing powder, towels, i'm in there all the time. it sells a bit of everything, you know, what you need. so it's a shame. having it here is really, really important. - there's a reason why people come . to this part of the high street. . but wilko has been struggling. a lot of what has happened to wilko has been self—inflicted. theyjust failed to give shoppers exactly what they wanted in a time of great competition in this sector, where there are other great retailers. they have not had products on the shelves, they have had huge supply issues. shoppers have gone somewhere else. the online business has not picked up, and they have literally ran out of money. wilko started as a single hardware store in 1930. what you need is wilko! over the years, it has expanded its products. a family—owned business with 400 shops today. smooth as silk, lovely paint, lovely paint. i and here is another problem. these days, wilko has just got too many shops and high street locations where costs are generally higher. but many shoppers are coming here, to retail parks. free parking, it is easier to collect large items, that's why one of its big rivals is here and there's a poundland over there as well. wilko has been left behind amid challenging economic times. for now, it is business as usual but huge uncertainty for its 12,500 staff. workers are devastated. many gmb members are incredibly loyal to wilko. they have worked for the business in some cases for decades, in some cases you have multi—generations of families that work for wilko. administrators are looking for a buyer. it is understood there is interest, including several retailers, with the hope that many shops could be saved, but the clock is now ticking to secure a rescue deal in another blow for struggling high streets. emma simpson, bbc news, slough. police have launched a murder investigation _

mortgage lender, the halifax, is about to cut the costs on some of its fixed rate deals. tomorrow, they're expected to come down by around 0.7 of a percentage point. natwest has also announced a reduction, and other lenders such as hsbc, nationwide and tsb have already cut some of their rates. the cost of mortgages has climbed steadily over the last nine months, here's colleta smith. after months of doom and gloom for homeowners, hope might be on the horizon. some banks are cutting mortgage rates, and it couldn't come too soon for those facing a bigger bill. we're fixed the next two years, but i know my mum's just been hit — her mortgage has gone up £200. i think it's around £250 extra a month now. so it's quite an increase considering, you know, my gas and electric has doubled as well. it's notjust those with mortgages hoping that rates begin to fall. hopefully, that would increase my business and i would be happy — a happier person because it'sjust — it's a worry. people are definitely watching their pennies this time. before anyone gets too excited, those reductions are really small and they haven't had a big impact on the market yet. in fact, at today's rates, an average two—year mortgage deal will cost you 6.83% in interest. that's unchanged since yesterday. but for anyone hoping to remortgage or get a new mortgage, it's maybe the first positive signs of a downward shift. it is definitely positive news for everybody who's got a mortgage. sadia says they're still seeing plenty of house sales here at the moment but there has been a change over the last year. people are under—offering on property prices, their mortgage payments are going to be higher, so they have to take that into account. so it's definitely a buyer's market. some of those faced with higher mortgage rates have begun to struggle more. today, we've heard that this spring, nearly 82,000 households fell into arrears with their mortgage payments. now, that's not a huge number. in fact, only 1% of the overall number of mortgages. but it is an increase on the previous quarter. and the number of buy—to—let landlords in trouble with their mortgage payments jumped by even more. and that impacts tenants, too. so if rates have reached a peak, it's a little less pressure on homeowners and tenants alike. colleta smith, bbc news, in warrington. now a look at some other stories making the news today. a man accused of making violent threats against president biden has been shot dead by the fbi. craig robertson — who was killed at his home in utah — claimed on social media he was

the streets of dumfries, while britain also won medals in the hills of glentress, from where nesta mcgregor reports. dame sarah storey won her first world title almost three decades ago. remarkably, this was the quest for number 42. as with any time trial, it is rider against clock, as demanding on the body as on the mind. this is the event i live for. and i've still no idea if i've won but i couldn't have done more today. wow. that was quick! the 45—year—old's victory, by more than a minute, even more impressive when you consider she withdrew from this event a year ago after a mid—race crash resulted in a punctured lung. frances brown was another success story for britain on the roads of dumfries, gold in the women's c1 time trial. meanwhile, at glentress forest, home to ospreys and

into this so to come away with a medal is amazing. 0bviously, world champs, to win is always the dream but you can't always win. just three days of competition left and great britain continues to show its dominance on two wheels. they are currently top of the medal table and with just a year to go until the paris 0lympics, they are sending a strong message to the rest of the world. nesta mcgregor, bbc news, in glentress forest. now we're used to almost daily stories about climate change and how our warming planet theatens our very existance. but tonight new research published in the journal �*science' suggests that a million years ago a previously unknown ice age wiped out humankind in europe. it took some 200,000 years before our ancestors were able to repopulate the continent having learned to adapt to colder temperatures. here's our science correspondent, pallab ghosh. british researchers scoured the shores of north norfolk for the fossilised remains of the very first humans to have lived in britain. it's long been held that they came to europe from africa and never left. but a secret found at the bottom of the sea suggests that they were all wiped out. this strip of mud from the ocean floor has changed the human story in europe. analysis in a lab in barcelona of the chemicals inside it shows that temperatures plummeted more than a million years ago. that would have meant for the humans not only that they would have trouble to find resources — for example, food — but also that the extreme conditions have led to the population of this early humans from europe. researchers found that there was no evidence for humans in europe for 200,000 years after that. but then, early humans came back. these footprints, found under the sands of the north norfolk coast, are some of the first humans to have returned after this newly discovered ice age. let's imagine what it was like and how they survived. hesburgh was one of the first places those early humans came back to around 900,000 years ago, long before it was a beach. the big freeze was over, but it was still cold, much colder than it is today. so they had to learn how to cope by building better shelters and developing better hunting techniques for food and furs to stay warm. they may even have become hairier. this is important because it shows that our early ancestors were inventive and adaptable, which is why we are here today. i mean, this is amazing. researchers are still searching for what remains of these humans. these are the stone tools they learnt how to make. they're adapting the whole time to new environments, new climates, right the way through the ice ages and developing new technologies. the face is really - quite delicately built. this is a reconstruction of a skull of one of those early humans — smaller brained, but gradually evolving into more advanced species, the researchers say in the journal science. and that species was i certainly more evolved. things like a larger brain, i a more modern looking face, teeth that are more like ours. the new results are another piece of the jigsaw that helps to explain how humans evolved and learned how to tame nature to become the dominant species on the planet. pallab ghosh, bbc news, hazra. time for a look at the weather. here is louise. a nice figure behind you. finally we got some much awaited summer sunshine and warmth. many of us seeing temperatures over 28 degrees and we haven't seen temperatures like that since july, so just over four weeks temperatures like that sincejuly, so just over four weeks ago. not all of us saw it, there was a bit of cloud into northern ireland particularly in the afternoon and there is rain around as well. it has been pushing in, showery rain across south—west england and wales, heavily burst into northern ireland as well and it could turn hefty with rumbles of thunder as it moves north and east into scotland as well. through the night tonight it will be cloudy and wet through scotland. the tail end of that weather front producing more cloud perhaps into the london area first thing tomorrow but it is going to be an incredibly mild, muggy start to friday. temperatures in the mid—teens. we start off with the cloud easing away, of sunshine around. the rain will linger in the northern isles throughout the day but with the south—westerly wind, it will probably drive in showers tomorrow, particularly out towards the west. not everywhere will see showers and still with sunshine around it
