As you can see, structures are completely levelled, trees stripped the devastation reaching all the way to the shoreline. Hawaiis Attorney General has begun a probe into how authorities responded to the fires, after some residents said they received no warning. Our North America correspondent Sophie Long Reports from maui. The historic city of lahaina, once the capital of the hawaiian kingdom, has been reduced to ruins. Almost everyone who lives here has lost everything. We already know this is the deadliest disaster in the states history, and the number of those who died is still climbing. This was lahainas historic seafront, now reduced to ashes. Bustling streets and shops all razed to the ground. But its too early to accurately assess the full extent and impact of this disaster. Buildings burned to the ground have not yet been searched. The fires that claimed them and the lives of Those Inside May be contained, but theyre still burning. Thousands have been left homeless by the ferocious flames fanned by winds from an offshore hurricane. Thank you very much. Yeah. They flocked to shelters seeking food and water. The need for assistance is great, but so too are the challenges to meeting it. The only land route to those most in need has been blocked. Sirens. As road access to lahaina was opened and people started to make their way back to see what, if anything, remains, hawaiis governor urged people to prepare themselves to witness destruction like theyve never seen. Vicksay and his family were here on holiday from california. Caught by the flames, they almost lost their lives. We left our vehicle and my wife and ourfive kids, we all got in the ocean. We found a floating board that we hung on to. Were out there floating. Its so surreal and everything is burning around and explosions, cars blowing up. Even the worlds wealthiest have been touched by this tragedy. Oprah winfrey, who has a home on the island, has come to help. The Billionairejeff Bezos has pledged 100 million to help with the relief effort. This island, once a picture of paradise, is in pain. Questions are being asked about the preparedness of the authorities and whether adequate plans had been in place to meet the ever increasing threat of fire. This can happen again, and so we need to have as many takeaways and Lessons Learned from this because it absolutely must not, must not happen again. This is absolutely tragic. Now theyre focused on the immediate task at hand. There is talk of hope and strength and rising from the ruins. But it will cost billions to rebuild. And its hard for some to even think about that with so many unaccounted for and unrecovered. Sophie long, bbc news, maui. Captain vince carter runs helicopter tour company air maui. Earlier, he told me about the moment he realised just how devastating the fires were. Well, there was fires there previously, the night before. We had been having a lot of wildfires on the island previously, so there was already five or six fires that were currently burning through the night. We knew that the power was out on the other side over there, so there was no word coming back through the night of the destruction of what had really happened there. I was working in the morning. I showed up to work. We had a Helicopterfired Up and we went to go see what was going on over there. As we turned the corner around the mountain from the airport you could see the smoke rising from the city, from the former city. As we got a little closer there was a small bit of hope because there was some South East Condos at a place called pomona that were still intact. But then, quickly, as you looked up, you could see about half of that complex was gone and everything past that, as you were able to see through the smoke, was gone. I believe we were the first, essentially, civilians to see the extent of the damage. You could tell immediately everything was gone. You know, 80 , 85 of the place is down to the ground. There was a pit in your stomach knowing that this is just the tip of the spear, losing buildings, losing property, the way that the winds were blowing 70mph that night. We got word later that the fire was moving at 40mph. Thats about 60 feet a second or about 20 meters a second. It was absolutely just heartbreaking to see that. As we were passing by the marina you could see there was still boats on fire. If you want a quick wonder of what the destruction could be, wooden slips at the docks were gone. So were talking things that were floating on water that it was so hot that those lit on fire. As we passed through, flying by the entire length of lahaina, front street is abeam the water, it abuts the water. The entire street was down to the ground. Having an intimate familiarity with that, i fly tours over there, i see this stuff every single day, i was just there on saturday, which was two days prior to the fire. We know all the things that are down there, its a very small, quaint place. Theres art galleries. Wyland art galleries, kush art gallery, there was original Salvador Dali works in a different art gallery, with rembrandts also.

The 39 migrants were disembarked yesterday after the Legionella Bacteria was found. One of them told the bbc theyd all received a letter saying they will be housed in Alternative Accommodation for seven days. Lets speak to our correspondent david lumb, whos in portland. David, talk us through the sequence of events here. Well, the government was originally hoping that the barge behind me would house 500 migrants, but today we found out that they have all been taken off.

Sometimes it is found in pipes that have been used for a long time and it can cause legionnaires disease, which is a serious lung condition.

The Breaking News you havejust heard from my colleague that one person has died and five others are in a serious condition after a Boat Carrying migrants sank sank in the english channel. We have had fresh statistics showing the scale of the problem. More than 100,000 people taking that treacherous journey across the channel in five years. 755 on thursday alone. In a week in which the government was hoping to show it was getting to grips with this issue, i think it is fair to say that this is at least a setback. Englands footbal captain, harry kane, has confirmed that he will be he is leaving tottenham after a 14 year Playing Career at the club. Kane is in germany for a medical at Bayern Munich and the move will be completed in time to start the bundesliga season next week. Kane posted this video on instagram, thanking fans for their support during his time at the club. Ill be leaving the club today. Obviously, a lot of emotions going through me right now and sad to be leaving the club ive spent nearly 20 years of my life at, from an 11 year old boy to a 30 year old man now. Good luck to tottrenham, good luck to the whole club. So, yeah, its not a goodbye because you never know how things pan out in the future, but its a thank you and ill see you soon. 0ur Correspondentjoe Inwood is in munich with the latest. Its been rumoured for a couple of years now that harry kane wanted to leave the club, but certainly over the course of this summer, it seemed increasingly inevitable that he would be moving away from north london. Bayern munich, the Allianz Arena here, that was always rumoured to be his preferred destination and now we have it finally confirmed that he has left Tottenham Hotspur after 19 years as a player there and will be joining Bayern Munich. We read out before his statement to tottenham fans, but hes also said something to the bayern fans. Ill read you a bit of this. Im very happy to be part of fc bayern. Fc bayern is one of the biggest clubs in the world and ive always said that i want to move and prove myself at the highest level in my career. Fc bayern is characterised by its winning culture. It feels very good to be here. I think if theres one thing you can say about this club is that it wins trophies. For more than a decade now theyve won every single bundesliga. An interesting point was made to me yesterday that if harry kane signs in time to take part in a match thats playing here this evening at 8. 45pm local time, its called the super cup, its the equivalent of the Charity Shield in the uk, the sort of season opener. Well, if he signs in time for that, then it is entirely possible that, technically, harry kane will win his first trophy at Bayern Munich within hours of signing. Joe, were used to seeing younger players go to germany, for examplejude bellingham, jadon sancho, but for a player of harry kanes stature, the england captain, no less, to bejoining Bayern Munich, how much of a coup is it being seen as for the club . I think a really significant coup. That was a point that was made. I was chatting to fans outside the stadium here yesterday and that was a point they were making, that this isnt just a great player, this is the england captain. I think that has a real significance here. Its notjust that hes a great striker, but hes talismanic. That was actually another point that an incredibly well informed girl, who must have been no more than ten but really knew her football, was saying that one of the things that she found interesting is that bayern have given him a four year contract. Now generally, players who are over 30 here, bayern only give them one year contract. So for them to give harry kane a four year contract, well thats really quite extraordinary and i think it says something about the significance that they think he is going to have to this club, notjust for one year, but for many years to come. Lets turn to the womens world cup and play has gone to extra time in the third quarterfinal between france and australia. After a slower start from the aussies, the return of captain sam kerr seemed to lift the team and they put the pressure on the french in the second half. But france are still very much in the game and with scores tied 0 0 at the end of normal time, both teams will be looking to secure the win in extra time. In a few hours, well see the semifinal teams confirmed with the last quarterfinal between england and colombia in sydney. Live now to paris, we can speak to french sports journalist lisa leroux.
