And the Saudi Super League has kicked off with some of the worlds top footballers but its come with controversy. Critics say the country is using sport to distract from its human rights record. We begin with the continuing tragedy in hawaii. The death toll from wildfires there has risen to 55. But hundreds more are still missing on the island of maui, and its feared that the number of dead could rise significantly. Governorjosh green has called the fires catastrophic and the largest in the states history. President biden proclaimed the fires a major disaster, freeing up federal funding for rescue and Recovery Efforts. Meanwhile firefighters continue to battle the flames. The bbc has been speaking to survivors sharing dramatic stories of escape and destruction. You can follow our live page for some of those stories, images, and the latest developments. We are now expecting a Press Conference shortly. And we will bring that too you as soon as it starts. Joining me now is Mojtaba Sadegh at Boise State University and ivis Associate Professor of Civil Engineering garc a Associate Professor does this mean that every state needs to start of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning at Texas A And M Universitymojtaba the . Number of people directly exposed to wildfires more than doubled from 2000 to 2019, according to your team s research.

I have been watching the devastation and can definitely relate being originally from puerto rico and the devastation that we have after hurricane maria. Eileens complicates things quite a bit. First of all, the transportation, if it were in the mainland, bike trucks, trains and here. It has to be by boat, helicopter and aeroplanes. That adds to the difficulty. Also to be able to deploy a staff is going to be a lot more costly and take more time. So in terms ofjust transportation, thats going to be the first thing thats going to be the first thing thatis thats going to be the first thing that is just going to delay the aid. Going to see a limited aid On The Ground in maui for the time being. Yes, thats what we can expect. And that might be just for some days and weeks, butjust think that might be just for some days and weeks, but just think about the recovery process. So we are adding all the materials that have to be. In order to fix the homes. And a shortage of labour to be able to get people that can work On The Ground at prices that also the federal government will cover if people are receiving aid or will be more costly using the private market because there is going to be a shortage as well. ,. ,. ,. , well.

Talking about neighbours associations and Nonprofit Organisations that are On The Ground. So they are very likely to be engaged and people to receive aid through these organisations so its very important that people support these organisations outside of government because the government might take a little bit more time to deploy and make decisions.

Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. Lets look at some other stories making news.

The three people are believed to have left the uk on wednesday. A Police Officer says he has made the devastating decision to leave Northern Ireland after accidental breaches of internal data revealed the identities of officers and staff. The Police Service of Northern Ireland mistakenly shared details about 10,000 of its employees on tuesday. Details of a second data breach from july then emerged. The officer said the data breach was the straw broke the camels back. A scottish fugitive extradited from brazil has beenjailed for almost ten years for Serious Organised Crime and firearms offences. James white, originally from glasgow, pleaded guilty to money laundering, importing millions of pounds of drugs and possessing guns and explosives. He led one of scotlands most prolific organised crime groups. Youre live with bbc news. Here, 39 Asylum Seekers who were moved onto the Bibby Stockholm Barge In Dorset earlier this week are being temporarily removed after traces of Legionella Bacteria was found in the water system. So far, none of the migrants have shown any symptoms. Legionella can cause a type of pneumonia called legionnaires disease. The bbc understands that routine testing was done before migrants were moved on to the vessel. So far, none of the migrants have shown any symptoms. Joining me now is dr s chelvan, head of immigration and public law at 33 Bedford Row Chambers and Adjunct Professor at southampton law school, and bob harris, technical director at airborne environmental consultants. Very good to see you both. Mr harris can i want to start with you, how does this bradwhere it come from . It is a naturally occurring bacteria thats found in rivers and streams all over the world, including the uk. Effectively becomes a problem when it gets into river systems. When it flows into our reservoirs and our Water Treatment centres, then finds its way into the main supply. But it is there an extremely low numbers, this bacteria. It finds the right conditions in a man made water system, in this case the Water Systems on the barge, and if the conditions are right, if its got food, warmth, relatively stagnant conditions, its able to multiply two dangerous concentrations. The problem comes, and this is how people come down with the disease is when that water with the bacteria becomes aerosolized. When it has turned into an aerosol and released into the air because the only way he can catch the disease is by inhaling contaminated water with viable bacteria in those droplets. Just to ask, how bacteria in those droplets. Just to ask. How ill bacteria in those droplets. Just to ask, how ill can bacteria in those droplets. Just to ask, how ill can this bacteria in those droplets. Just to ask, how ill can this make bacteria in those droplets. Just to l ask, how ill can this make people . It can make people very ill indeed. For example, the early symptoms of it, if you are susceptible and detached the disease, very similar to flu, a heavy cold, that sort of thing. At the bacteria can form a bacterial infection which can go on if untreated to cause Pneumonia Type symptoms when its a very aggressive pneumonia. Sadly, 10 to 12 Mortality Rate associated with people who contract the disease. We ust people who contract the disease. We just spoke on monday, actually, but the very first migrants moving on to this barge, and i received a situation. What do you make of it . The Home Office Never learns its lesson the Home Office Never learns its lesson. Enough from the camp of last october lesson. Enough from the camp of last october and lesson.

Case, typically, i mean, this is relatively unusual. We dont get barges coming in every day of the week, but in this kind of instance, it would be the law requires that a Risk Assessment to be carried out by somebody who knows what they are doing on systems like weve got on the barge. According to the risk inherent with that system, some regime of controls are put in place. In this kind of instance i would expect that the water system would be potentially disinfected prior to occupancy. That probably wouldve been identified as part and parcel of the Risk Assessment. It is very early days and we dont have detailed information on the nature of the samples and what Water Systems they relate to. I cant really say whether or not they have exceeded what is required because that may well be possible according to the nature of the sampling thats been carried out and where that is in the water system on board the barge. It depends. It is in the water system on board the barge. It depends. In the water system on board the barge. It depends. It is early days, but i barge. It depends.

The government says that this is all about stopping that this is all about stopping boats that this is all about stopping boats. Reported tonight that only two of boats. Reported tonight that only two of the 39 are individuals who had come two of the 39 are individuals who had come to the boat crossing svstem~ had come to the boat crossing system. The majority of people have. One system. The majority of people have gone through other methods. So the general gone through other methods. So the general public needs to know that the governments approach to refugees the governments approach to refugees is not about stopping the boats. Refugees is not about stopping the boats. It refugees is not about stopping the boats. It is refugees is not about stopping the boats, it is a about stopping undocumented refugees coming to the uk in seeking sanctuary. Even robert jan rick uk in seeking sanctuary. Even robert jan rick talked about the battle, shouldnt jan rick talked about the battle, shouldnt that be a courts duty . He said. Shouldnt that be a courts duty . He said. Well. Shouldnt that be a courts duty .

So i think if you really want factor. So i think if you really want the factor. So i think if you really want the government to show its true colours want the government to show its true colours come it doesnt really want to stop colours come it doesnt really want to stop the colours come it doesnt really want to stop the boats come at once to stop refugees coming to the uk, and that is stop refugees coming to the uk, and that is why stop refugees coming to the uk, and that is why the british taxpayer is paying that is why the british taxpayer is paying to that is why the british taxpayer is paying £6 million a day and because the government is not committed to driving the government is not committed to driving this the government is not committed to driving this number down, it is committed to what are quite clearly rightwing committed to what are quite clearly right wing policies to stop people coming right wing policies to stop people coming to right wing policies to stop people coming to the uk undocumented, not illegal.

Really good to get both of your perspectives on this trade today. Thank you. Junior doctors in england have begun anotherfour day strike, as their bitter dispute with the government over pay and conditions grinds on. Nearly a Million Health Service Appointments and procedures are expected to be postponed or cancelled over the next four days. The British Medical Association is calling for a 35 percent pay rise, while the government is offering 6 percent plus a lump sum which would bring the increase to around 9 per cent. Our Health Editor hugh pym reports. Silence in this operating theatre today, like many others. At this leaving hospital trust, much of their planned surgery has been postponed because of the strike. Hi. Can i ask you. Elsewhere in the hospital, natalia, who is a matron, checks and patients, with anne, a consultant, helping with cover on the strike day. I have theatres that were cancelled today, but patients that were operated on yesterday were seen straightaway this morning. They are doing well. Although we have had to cancel a lot of our planned care, our a e is operating as normal. The trust boss says getting consultants to do extra shift isnt straightforward, and he is worried about the months ahead. This has been the most difficult strike to cover so far, and i think if we see this going on further, it will become more difficult to find the cover, and i think if we get into the real busyness of went with busyness of winter with our emergency pathways, we could have a problem. No ifs, no buts with picket lines outside hospitals in england, the prospect of talks to resolve the dispute looks remote. With a 9 on average pay award, doesnt that show there is some mileage for you to sit down with the government . It is yet again another real terms pay cut. It is not the start, in fact, it is a continuation of their policy to erode doctors pay and conditions. They did not rule out escalated action. The consultants and ourselves have been talking about and contemplating the idea ofjoint action, both simultaneous, but also on adjacent days. Ministers, though, say their pay offer is final. Of course, i stand ready to have discussions withJunior Doctors in terms of other issues about their working conditions, but in terms of pay, we made a fair and final offer, we have accepted in full the recommendations of the independent pay review body process, and that is why the bma should now call off their strikes. Margaret needed a new battery for her pacemaker. She had an appointment cancelled because of a previous strike, and because of ongoing action, she felt she had to go private. I have some sympathy, yes. But i dont really approve of it. But if they think thats the only thing they can do, and i mean, i wouldnt want to be a Junior Doctor and work the hours they do work. Junior doctors demonstrated outside downing street today, and with a ballot on further strikes and consultants planning more walk outs, this pay row is far from over. Hugh pym, bbc news. Now to the us where there have been legal developments affecting both donald trump and joe biden. First, to the former president. A federaljudge has ruled that mr trump can publicly share some non sensitive evidence that will be used at his trial on charges of plotting to overturn the 2020 election. The Special Counseljack smiths office had asked the judge to stop that happening by imposing a protective order. They pointed to messages posted by mr trump on social media to argue that he might try to use details of the evidence to intimidate witnesses. Mr trumps legal team argued that such an order would impede his First Amendment rights to free speech. Then, in the last few hours, we had a major update into the investigation intojoe bidens son, hunter biden. The attorney general Merrick Garland announced that the prosecutor investigating mr biden was being given the additional powers of a United States Special Counsel. David weiss has handled the inquiry into Hunter Bidens Business Dealings since he was appointed by then President Trump in 2018. Lets speak to political pollster frank luntz. Starting with hunter biden the doj appointing a Special Counsel. Political pollster and strategist frank luntz. We also hear theres been an impasse on his Plea Agreement and that this is likely to had to trial. What do you make of these developments . Well, its significant, because at a time of economic challenges to the country, we seem to be focused on Donald Trumps past, Hunter Bidens pass and the American People are wondering when are we going to get over this because my going to focus on issues that affect the average american . There is a real decline in trust and confidence in washington and the belief that the elected officials do what the public wants, what they promise, the level of perception of integrity is at an all time low, and this is one of the reasons that they are focused on these trials, focused on these accusations, one of the highest values in america is accountability. The public does not the former president to be held accountable if he broke the law and the same thing with hunter biden. The fact is that this is a distraction from the Current Issues both domestic and Foreign Policy that the public prioritises more. I do Foreign Policy that the public prioritises more. Foreign policy that the public prioritises more. I do want to ask about republican prioritises more. I do want to ask about Republican Voters prioritises more. I do want to ask about Republican Voters and prioritises more. I do want to ask about Republican Voters and how| about Republican Voters and how they will take this news of Hunter Bidens case because they have cried foul about what they see as the politicalisation of the department ofjustice. Will this move of appointing a Special Counsel and possibly seeing a trial change that perception . Possibly seeing a trial change that erce tion . ,. , � possibly seeing a trial change that ercetion . ,. , �. Possibly seeing a trial change that perception . Perception . They dont call it politicalisation, perception . They dont call it politicalisation, they perception . They dont call it politicalisation, they caught i politicalisation, they caught weaponisation, and their complaint is that there is a double standard, that there is excuses for issues that there is excuses for issues that affect the bidens but that it seems to republicans like donald trump is being persecuted. Once again, the public want a free and fair trial situation. They want to know what the truth is, and they dont know what the truth is. Republicans are always going to believe that they are being mistreated. Democrats are always going to believe that they are being mistreated. Its an example of the extreme polarisation that has hit america, and i give warning to the people of uk, dont go down this road, because you are not going to like the consequences if you do. So you are saying that the voters you speak to really are not that interested in these cases. The Extreme Partisans interested in these cases. The Extreme Partisans are, interested in these cases. Tta Extreme Partisans are, because interested in these cases. Tt9 Extreme Partisans are, because its a chance to own and get even, get revenge on the enemy. At the 60 that are in the middle couldnt give a damn, to be blunt. They are focused on the economy, they are focused on the economy, they are focused on the economy, they are focused on being able to afford a home and afford insurance and afford to drive to work. And the idea that there is this constant prosecution for the persons on the left and the presence on the right, it matters to a great deal for the 60 presence on the right, it matters to a great dealfor the 60 in presence on the right, it matters to a great deal for the 60 in the centre, doesnt matter at all. So what can someone like the current president or the former president to speak specifically to that 60 . Thea;r speak specifically to that 60 . They choose not to. Speak specifically to that 60 . They choose not to. What speak specifically to that 60 . They choose not to. What can speak specifically to that 60 . Tt9 choose not to. What can they speak specifically to that 60 . Tt91 choose not to. What can they do . They could actually speak to them, but they dont. They are not interested. Joe biden, whenever he gets a chance tries to refer negatively to republicans. In republicans get a chance to attack hunter biden, they do. And i understand it from a political perspective, but from a governing perspective, but from a governing perspective, its one of the reasons why the americans are fed up with the democrats and republicans and to take this to 2024 comments by the vast majority of americans dont want to trump, dont want biden, they want somebody else. They do not want a rerun of 2020 all over again. One more question about the former president specifically because without a special office request rather a trial date of january two. That would put a trial right in the middle of the iowa caucus. Is there any possibility that the schedule of these trials can actually start to interfere with his popularity among Republican Voters . Republican voters . Heres the amazin Republican Voters . Heres the amazing thing Republican Voters . Heres the amazing thing that Republican Voters . Heres the amazing thing that is Republican Voters . Heres the amazing thing that is going i Republican Voters . Heres the amazing thing that is going to | Republican Voters . Heres the amazing thing that is going to make everyones head explode, the more that you accused donald trump, the higher his numbers go. The more that you indict him, the more popular he becomes. There are over 70 indictments and we still havent heard from georgia yet. That could come in the next three or four weeks. You are going to have these trials that are ongoing all throughout 2024. Hes going to have to be running between state and state, hes going to be running to try to become president. And weve never ever been in this situation before. This is truly unchartered territory in american politics. Uncharted territory indeed. Always good to talk to you and thank you forjoining us on bbc news. Thank you for watching. We will be backin thank you for watching. We will be back injust a thank you for watching. We will be back in just a little bit with a look at saudi arabias new Football League. Thank you for watching the context. Stay with us. Hello. We had our brief spell of warmth in the last couple of days, and now that the weekend is here, of course, its turning a little cooler and more unsettled. But dont get me wrong, its not going to be awful. There will certainly be some fine weather around, some lengthy spells of sunshine, but quite a few showers around as well, brought by this area of low pressure just to the north west of us right now. And this is how its going to barrel across the uk during the course of the weekend, and the closer you are to the centre of this low pressure, the more frequent the showers will be. So, through the course of this evening and overnight, showers, quite frequent ones spreading into Northern Ireland by the morning, western scotland, perhaps the irish sea, wales, maybe the south, too, whereas many central and eastern parts of the uk should wake up to a bright, if not sunny, weather saturday morning with temperatures around 15 16 degrees. So a pleasant start to the day. And heres saturday itself quite brisk winds around western coasts with these Atlantic Winds and a mixture of sunshine and showers. Some of them could be heavy, could be a crack of thunder, most lengthy spells of sunshine, i think, in the south. And this pattern will continue into sunday as well. So, again, the closer are to the centre of the low, the more frequent the showers will be and generally out towards the west, too. So london, norwich, hull probably faring best with fine weather, some spots could actually get away with a completely dry weekend. Now, lets have a look at monday. The low pressures still with us, but it is fizzling away. Still have a Weather Front here, so that does mean that across east anglia and the southeast for a time on monday, it could be in the morning or lasting into the afternoon. Difficult to say, but some cloud and rain certainly in the forecast. Showers could break out also across scotland, but many areas towards the west actually fine weather to start the week. Now, lets talk about the jet stream. Its still over us. Its been over us more or less all summer and at leastjuly into august. So this is where it will roughly be through the week, deflecting any heat coming our way from the south eastwards. But it could come close to the south later next week, so temperatures could rise. In fact, there is a hint if you keep checking the apps, youll notice that as you go beyond wednesday, thursday into friday, the temperatures keep rising and the weather turns a little bit drier and brighter. Bye bye. Hello, im sumi somaskanda. Youre watching the context on bbc news. Saudi arabias Football League kicks off its new season with star studded, multi Million Pound signings. We will have more on that in a minute, but first, sport, and for a full round up from the bbc sport centre, heres sarah mulkerrins. Hello from the bbc sport centre. The Premier League is back with newly promoted burnley going up against the reigning champions manchester city. And city went 1 0 up afterjust four minutes, striker Erling Haaland picking up where he left off last season with the goal, rodri with the assist. Live updates on the bbc sport website and app for the latest. Just approaching 13 minutes gone there. It looks like a matter of time before harry kanes future is finalised. His transfer from tottenham to Bayern Munich is starting to seem like a formality. Hes arrived in germany and is expected to undergo a medical at the bundesliga champions after a 100 Million Euro deal was agreed by the clubs
