Onlyjust begun in earnest. Fires do continue to burn there and helicopters are being sent to douse the flames one bucket at a time. Many people forced to flee at a moments notice had to leave everything behind, to the mercy of the flames. On saturday, hawaiis Attorney General announced an investigation into why the islands Warning Siren did not sound at the height of the emergency. Lets go live now to our reporter in maui, helena humphrey. Helena, whats the situation right now where you are at the moment . We have been here from the Early Morning and gradually being asked to move back because the mood here is growing understandably ever more despondent as we continue to see the death toll rise, now standing at 80, but thousands of people still reported missing. And when you do go inside that shelter without cameras, of course, what you see, two qr codes to scan with your phone, one to report you are safe and the other to say, i am looking for someone. Because so many people currently are unaccounted for. Outside is a Missing Persons tent and now and again, you see more and more people coming in the seeing someone they know in this community, hugging them and breaking down. The words we hear over and over again, and breaking down. The words we hear overand overagain, i hear over and over again, i didnt hear overand overagain, i didnt expect, i didnt know you are here, i didnt expect to see you here, im glad you are safe. That really is the situation here on the ground right now. That belies all the frantic activity you can see out here behind me of cars continuing to come in. For those who havent lost everything, they are here dropping off food, water, hygiene products, products for babies, anything they can because that really also typifies the response we are seeing here. Hawaii has given it a word for kindness and warmth and generosity, aloha. That is what we are seeing, but it is being tested to the max right now as this state deals with its deadliest Natural Disaster in history. With its deadliest Natural Disaster in history. You are at that shelter disaster in history. You are at that shelter and disaster in history. You are at that shelter and we disaster in history. You are at that shelter and we know disaster in history. You are at. That shelter and we know there are people now being allowed back into lahaina for the first time, we have seen images of long lines of cars. Do we have a sense of what people are finding when they do return to where their home may be one stood . ~. , stood . Well, the warning yesterday stood . Well, the warning yesterday from stood . Well, the warning yesterday from the stood . Well, the warning i yesterday from the governor stood . Well, the warning yesterday from the governor was for residents of lahaina to brace themselves for what they were going to say, see going back into their old homes. Many finding it is no longer standing. 80 of that town, historic old town, completely decimated. We have heard different information throughout the day about whether people are still able to get access to lahaina, we dont necessarily know why that is, but there could potentially be safety concerns talking about such Historic Buildings which have been burnt to the ground. But this also contributes to concerns about the death toll here as well because the 80 people accounted for so far for the most part were people that were found to have perished out in the open. We are getting more federal Search And Rescue and recovery teams coming in including Cadaver Sniffer Dogs from washington state, california and so on, but they havent been able to gain access to all of those properties raised to the ground. And of course, those concerns about what people will find when they do gain access are just terrific. Briefly, we are hearing these reports are Disaster Alert System and hawaii did not go off, that there may not be much off, that there may not be much of a warning to residents about these wildfires, has there been criticism about how prepared that area was . That area was . There is frustration that area was . There is frustration here that area was . There is frustration here and that area was . There is| frustration here and that frustration here and that frustration is turning to anger at times, people saying it was my neighbour banging on my door telling me to get out with my children. Other people saying, it was the winds and the heat that alerted them. Know when here we have spoken to have said they heard a siren or received any kind of Text Messages no one. The Attorney General is now saying they have opened an investigation into what happened. Investigation into what happened investigation into what ha ened. , happened.

Welcome of the speed of the fire front on tuesday caught many people of god. Well, the speed. Our North America correspondent john said with has been meeting with some residents who have lost everything. Our North America correspondent, john sudworth, has been meeting with some of the residents who have lost everything. It looks like doomsday, armageddon, basically. Brian captured the destruction of his home town on his mobile phone. Cars, propane or anything with gas, whatever, gas station was going boom, boom, boom. And it sounded like a war zone. Hes one of 23 members of this extended family, all now refugees from lahaina, crammed into the home of a relative. This is what theyve left behind the line of cars burned, as people tried to escape, and the charred remains of businesses and homes. The house, the house that we stayed in is all gone. Nothing left . Nothing. So. It so breaks my heart, because were expecting we go home from work. No more place to stay. Yeah. The family, like thousands of others, are now relying on hand outs of clothes and struggling with the trauma of what they saw that night. Its so fast. You can see the fire jump. Getting closer and closer . Yeah, closer and closer, but we cannot do anything, we just stand up and watching. I said, lets go the fire is here forensic teams are continuing with the difficult task of combing the wreckage for human remains. The island of mauis stunning coastline belies the fact that this is now the scene of a major disaster, and with the town of lahaina a little way along the coast, they are facing such devastation that the police are working to keep everybody, including the media, at bay, unless you can show proof of residency. And although the mood remains calm, there are also hints of anger. Many say they received no warnings at all. Questions are being asked about whether the authorities could have done more to raise the alarm. John sudworth, bbc news, maui. Six people have died and two may still be missing after a Boat Carrying migrants sank in the english channel. 60 survivors have been taken ashore on both sides of the channel after a Rescue Operation triggered by a passing ship reported an over loathing overloaded vessel. Simon jones loathing overloaded vessel. Simonjones Reports Loathing overloaded vessel. Simon jones reports from loathing overloaded vessel. Simonjones reports from dover. The sea has claimed several more lives. The french lifeboat had the grim task of bringing five bodies back to shore, a sixth person airlifted to hospital didnt survive. Some of those rescued were taken to dover, after lifeboats from the uk joined the search operation. Many of the survivors had been in the sea, screaming for help. Others had been trying to bail out their sinking boat using their shoes. Translation they were in trouble. Some were suffering from seasickness and the boats are quite simply overloaded. They overload the boats and so the boats can no longer move forwards. The last boat was too full. These pictures, taken earlier in the week, showjust how many people can be crammed into flimsy boats in the worlds busiest shipping lane. The french Authorities Say they will only intervene at sea if a boat gets into difficulty. The mp for dover is calling for a new approach. This is an absolute tragedy today in the channel, and my thoughts and prayers are with all those affected. What we now really need to see is the french stopping these unseaworthy and overcrowded vessels getting into the channel in the first place, and a joint channel security zone. Charities supporting refugees say they have heard calls for change before. Its tragic, isnt it . Weve been here several times in the last few years and nothing changes. Every time were stood here, loss of life in the channel, i we call for this to bej a catalyst for change and it never is. And itsjust, its another needless tragedy. Rescuers say this is the seventh time in the past week that people have had to be pulled from the sea. Its raised concerns that the smugglers organising the crossings are perhaps using a defective batch of boats, boats which are already dangerously overloaded, and that is making the crossing even more perilous. Butjust hours after the deaths were confirmed, more people from other migrant boats were being brought ashore, their desire to reach the uk undiminished. The Home Secretary said her thoughts and prayers were with all those affected by the tragic loss of life. Simonjones, bbc news, dover. A Georgia Grand Jury is expected to hear evidence next week in an atlanta area case against donald trump and his allies for allegedly interfering in the 2020 election. On saturday, states formally tenant governor and an independentjournalist said independent journalist said they had independentjournalist said they had both been asked to testify before the grand jury on wednesday. Fulton county Attorney General fani willis is thought to be seeking more than a dozen charges against the former president. They include conspiracy and racketeering and those charges could come in the coming days. Trump denies any wrongdoing. Donald trump did make an appearance at the iowa state fair, hundreds there greeted the former president as he moved around grills and even visited baby goats at that fair held in the first state to kick off voting in the us president ial primary. Trumps visit happened as his lead driver, Florida Governor ron desantis. Hejoined Iowa Governor kim reynolds for a Fireside Chat at the fairground. Desantis has recently shaken up his campaign team, as he sinks in the polls, and and had long planned to attend the iowa state fair, scrabbling to reset that campaign. John reynolds, we saw that state fair in iowa and i am sure you have been to plenty of similar events, what you make of the kind of reception he got in iowa at this event . In iowa at this event . What president in iowa at this event . What President Trump in iowa at this event . What President Trump it in iowa at this event . What President Trump it is in iowa at this event . What President Trump it is a in iowa at this event . What i President Trump it is a figure that transcends american politics, culturalfigure that transcends american politics, cultural figure and a curiosity and when he goes to a large event like the iowa state fair, hes going to draw crowds and this goes to the heart of the challenge for the rest of the challenge for the rest of the candidates who are conventional politicians, trump is not, he is a global celebrity and that create images on optics alone. But obviously, trump has his own vulnerabilities, the ones you mentioned in his legal jeopardy. There is great uncertainty in this race. Trump right now has a considerable leading edge, but at some point, republicans will take a closer look at this race and they will have to decide if nominating trump will imperil their ability to win the white house next year. Their ability to win the white house next year. You mentioned these vulnerabilities, house next year. You mentioned these vulnerabilities, how these vulnerabilities, how vulnerable is he really . We saw the reception he got in iowa, polling continues to show president , the former President Trump trump is the frontrunner in 2024, yet these three criminal cases and a fourth possibly on the way, so is this affecting his campaign at all . Not right now, but its important for viewers to know there is no National Primary in there is no National Primary in the american president ial campaign. These are state by state elections in the first couple of months. So the National Surveys that show trump with a lead are informative enough, but they are not as significant as what is going to happen in iowa, new hampshire, South Carolina and nevada, the first four states in the republican process. If trump loses in one of those initial states, trump loses in one of those initialstates, it trump loses in one of those initial states, it would be seen as a competitive race. If trump comes out of the gates and runs the table to mix metaphors in those early states, that is the race, hes going to the nominee. But i am much less interested in National Services than what surveys and what is happening on the ground in iowa and nevada because that is where these races are shaped in those parties and that is what is going to be significant the closer we are to the end of this calendar year. Another candidate this calendar year. Another candidate of this calendar year. Another candidate of course this calendar year. Another | candidate of course running against former President Trump is his former Vice President mike pence. Hes not doing well in those national polls. Do you get the sense now he is such a key player in indictment of President Trump in the Election Fraud case . He has stayed true to his message, he has been very clear about his role, do you think that strategy is beginning to pay off in pence might be getting an unexpected bit of momentum here . I might be getting an unexpected bit of momentum here . Bit of momentum here . I dont drink pence bit of momentum here . I dont drink pence has bit of momentum here . I dont drink pence has much bit of momentum here . I dont drink pence has much of bit of momentum here . I dont drink pence has much of a drink pence has much of a window to be the republican nominee i dont think. I think what hes doing now has a lot more to do with his legacy, frankly. And trying to write that for history. In making clear that he believes he was faithful to the constitution on january 6th, 2021. The challenge politically 4p is not trump like enough for the supporters and for those sceptical to me he is too tired to trump. And there is not any obvious charisma. I think pence will have a hard time politically. And i think he is playing for the History Books as much as he is for the nomination next year. And i want to make nomination next year. And i want to make sure nomination next year. And i want to make sure to nomination next year. And i want to make sure to ask. Nomination next year. And i. Want to make sure to ask you about the Florida Governor ron desantis. Also in iowa, he has been trying to reboot his campaign. There have been staff shake ups. Has there been any recent good news for him and does he have any kind of chance of closing the gap to donald trump . I of closing the gap to donald trum . ~. ,. , trump . I think the good news for desantis trump . I think the good news for desantis is trump . I think the good news for desantis is he trump . I think the good news for desantis is he has trump . I think the good news for desantis is he has got the | for desantis is he has got the money and organisation in iowa to be competitive there if he can show that he is unable candidate. And i think part of the challenge with these bad Process Stories as we call them in the states, that he has suffered the last month with his staff drama, is that it really has not portrayed him in the best light as a candidate. He has got to use the debate later this month and subsequent debates to show he is a top tier candidate, he can beat trump in a primary and win a general election. And if he is able to demonstrate his facility as a candidate, he will have the infrastructure and the money in iowa to be competitive. But staff and organisation only matters if the candidate can appeal. And with desantis, that is the crucial question. With desantis, that is the crucial question. Very briefly, we have about crucial question. Very briefly, we have about 20 crucial question. Very briefly, we have about 20 seconds. Crucial question. Very briefly, i we have about 20 seconds left, but you mentioned the first Republican Debate is coming up in ten days, what is your prediction, Will Donald Trump show up . I prediction, Will Donald Trump show u . ~ , prediction, Will Donald Trump show up . Show up . I think it is unlikely he will show show up . I think it is unlikely he will show up, show up . I think it is unlikely he will show up, but show up . I think it is unlikely he will show up, but not he will show up, but not impossible. Donald trump likes to keep
