hawaii's attorney general has announced an investigation into why the island's warning siren didn't sound at the height of the emergency. questions are also being asked about whether power to the island should have been cut. for more, here's our correspondent in hawaii, sophie long. this is what remains of lahaina. cars abandoned as people ran and jumped into the sea to escape the flames. homes and businesses reduced to charred remains. president biden promised immediate help and said every available asset should be used to provide it, but, days later, people here say it's not yet reaching those most in need and people like felicia are desperately trying to get supplies into lahaina themselves. i'm frustrated. people are... we're all together. we're one family, we need to take care of each other. no—one's feeding everyone. they're traumatised. they're upset. no—one's giving hugs. they need mental help. what do you need from me? to hear people in the same pants since the fire on thursday. kids in the same diapers since thursday. people without food. they haven't drank since before the fire. what are we doing? hundreds of thousands flock to maui's stunning coastline every year and thousands ofjobs here are dependent on tourism, but the jarring contrast between those holidaying and those hurting is difficult to bear with so many still unaccounted for. the same waters that our people just died in three days ago are the same waters the very next day these visitors, tourists were swimming in and that says a lot about where their heart and mind is through all of this and where our heart and mind is through all of this, as well. you don't see our people swimming, snorkelling, surfing. nobody is having fun in tragedy and continuing their lives like nothing has happened. there is two hawaiis right now. there is the hawaii we're living in and the hawaii they're living in, they're visiting in. as search and recovery teams continue their difficult task of sifting through the remains, people queue for hours to get back to what were their homes. confusion is leading to frustration. at 8.30, we went there. they said, "go to the other side." so we went to the other side and same thing. there's, like, a line and it's not even moving so we came back here. so we got here at 9.30 and it's 12.30 right now. they're not telling us what to do. the cops are just going back and forth. but the authorities are asking for patience. we know we've got to go quick, but we've got to do it right, so when we pick up the remains and they fall apart... so when you have 200 people running through the scene yesterday, and some of you, that's what you're stepping on. i don't know how much more you want me to describe it. that's what you're stepping on. give us a little bit of time to contain that, please. people already know this is the deadliest disaster in hawaii's history and the death toll is still climbing. sophie long, bbc news, maui. as well as the high death toll, thousands of people have been left homeless and in need of help from the authorities. helena humphrey has been speaking to some of those seeking assistance in maui and also to the governor of hawaii. so many people are still unaccounted for when we were at the shelters today. so many people were coming looking for loved ones that had no cell phone reception. they haven't been able to get in touch. and some of the first things we asked them after asking, "are you 0k?" is how did you get out? did you hear a siren? did you get a text message alert? and every time the answer was no. we only got out because we saw a wall of flames coming towards us. we felt the heat. we heard our neighbors banging on our doors. and you really saw the testament of that in terms of essentially the walking wounded at times coming into that shelter, people with bandages on their feet, on their legs, on their hands, having essentially had to run from the flames. so, of course, one of the questions front and foremost at that press conference today was about those early warning systems. no questions were taken in the room, but i did put it to the governor in an exclusive interview. take a listen to what he told me. that's it. governor green, thank you for being with us. out of every single person that we've spoken to today, every person that we've met, not one person has said that they heard a siren or received a text message alert. are you clearer in understanding what went wrong? was it human error or was maui unprepared? i think really what it was was an incredibly overwhelming circumstance, which was a hurricane and hurricane force winds simultaneously with fire. and we've not experienced anything like that in the region in a town before. there was a lot of response going on amongst the firefighters all across the island. i think that was the greatest confounding issue. but my team is doing a thorough review. we've begun it with our attorney general, and that's the important piece for us now. of course, most of our efforts are going to be on recovery, finding a way to reunite families with either those that they've lost so that they have closure or getting them housing and survival. these processes normally come much after an incident like this, but we're doing it in parallel because we want to be safer and learn right now. what do you say to those people who received no alert whatsoever, who've lost everything, their loved ones? absolutely everything. i'd say this is something that we're aware of, that the tragedies like these occur. we have volcanic eruptions and sometimes only minutes to alert people. we have earthquakes and tsunamis that come within minutes. this is something that actually those of us in hawaii have long been tragically familiar with. and this is one of the great challenges of living 3,000 miles away from any other landmass with modest resources. but we will be able to give people much more answer in the future once our review is thoroughly done. do you know how you'll make sure that it doesn't happen again? well, my administration started just six months ago, so we've just begun to govern. and among the many things we're doing is preparing for natural disasters. and usually that is hurricane related. that means preparedness along the shoreline, having the ability to get resources to our people. so we're early in our term and we've just begun to prepare our state for the future. governor green, thank you. so that is then the twin challenge for authorities right now, recovery efforts, whilst also conducting investigations as well. but in terms of the response from this island, what we're seeing is so many volunteers getting involved. people have lost everything. but anyone who has anything coming to shelters, donating food, water supplies, baby supplies and so on, because we're meeting people who can't even find a space in shelters, who are sleeping out in the open right now. and it continues to be very hot. it continues to be very windy. but when you speak to people, what really comes through is something that people in here in hawaii pride themselves on and it's bittersweet to witness. it is a spirit of aloha, of warmth and generosity and coming together in the face of what is the biggest challenge that this island probably has ever seen in terms of natural disasters. while the authorities continue the difficult work of searching for and identifying the dead after the devastating fire in the town of lahaina, some hawaii residents are taking relief effort into their own hands. john sudworth went out with one group of volunteers taking relief supplies by boat. we are aboard the ocean spared a boat owned by the pacific whale foundation on marine conservation charity, but today, the staff of volunteers are on a very different type of mission. have a look down here. these are fuel cans. a lot of the people in the disaster zone depend on generators for cooking. this will be a vital lifeline. over here, something else badly needed, fresh drinking water. we can clearly see the town of lahaina now and what you can make out is the blackened line scape above the town. that was where the grass was burning and what happened with a hurricane blowing way off to the south, the pressure brought to the wind over the top of the island and picking up speed as it was going down and picking up sparks from the fire and breaking them directly into the town. they did not stand a chance. as well as the devastated town of lahaina which is a short distance that way, there are communities like this one that were not directly affected by the fire, but nonetheless have been cut off. without road access or power or communication four days. this is vital aid and all of it delivered by volunteering. to ukraine now and the government has claimed "partial success" in their counter—offensive in the zaporijia region. the ukrainian general staff said that the armed forces had gained ground around the village and had successfully repelled russian counter attacks elsewhere along the front line. it is now over two months since ukraine started it's counter offensive. in that time, they have retaken several villages and advanced several kilometres but have yet to achieve a significant breakthrough. current ukrainian gains have come at a heavy cost and medical aid is playing a vital role in saving lives both on the front lines and in ukrainain cities hit by russian missiles. joining me now is daniel whitehead from the charity, medical life lines ukraine — who buy and send ambulances and other medical aid to the country. thank you forjoining us. thank you for coming in. tell us a little bit about your charity. irate for

how the aid is being used and it is... i don't want to use hyperbole, but you know that what you are doing is saving lives, the impact that it has on people is massive. they do not have ambulances in the numbers they need. after we have delivered them, they had a few more. the footage of ambulances being destroyed or we get photographs from hospitals that we are connected with including one in kherson last week that got hit. and a young doctor was killed, we understand, on his first day. and you can see the impact not only on those individuals, but also only on those individuals, but also on the infrastructure of the hospitals and what they need. being able to do something that redresses that balance is an amazing feeling. when the war began, there was a huge keenness both in the uk and around the world for people to help and donate, is that level of enthusiasm still there? have you seen a drop—off in and volunteers? we still there? have you seen a drop-off in and volunteers? we

they are feeling that they are running out of steam, brought in the circle of people you are talking to because if you just speak to the same people the whole time, those people will get... we find we

coming under renewed pressure to stop migrants crossing the sea from france in small boats — after six people drowned in the channel. opposition parties and campaigners have called for urgent action. the french authorities say all the victims of saturday's disaster were afghan men. nearly 60 others were rescued from the water. simonjones reports from dover. just hours after yesterday's tragedy in the channel, more migrants were being brought to dover after being picked up at sea, undeterred by the evident risks of taking to the water in overcrowded, flimsy boats. it was just such a boat that sank, prompting a huge emergency response. the survivors said some of them had been trying to bail out water with their shoes. others were in the sea pleading for help. a harrowing incident for the lifeboat crews. the french minister responsible for safety at sea visited some of those involved in the rescue operation in calais, keen to talk about the people who were helped to safety. this terrible event shows that thanks to cooperation between france and britain we managed to save lives. that's what we have to focus on. last december, at least four people died when their boat capsized. there are now renewed calls for increased cooperation between britain and france. it is absolutely essential the authorities are able to cooperate to prevent people making these dangerous journeys. the fact that this is continuing is an indication of, up to now, the failure of cooperation. there have been frequent attempts over recent years for the french and british authorities to reach agreement on a more effective means of policing the channel and stopping people embarking on these deadly and dangerousjourneys, but we are not seeing the results of that. the british government has described the deaths as "devastating". it says the incident is another reminder of the dangers of crossing the channel in small boats and the need to break the business model of the people—smugglers who are organising the journeys. more than 16,000 people have made the crossing so far this year, despite the government promising to stop the boats. charities say this latest tragedy needs to focus minds on both sides of the channel to try to prevent further loss of life at sea. simonjones, bbc news, dover. now it's time for a look at today's sport with hugh ferris. it is exciting to see the premier league back in action this weekend. that's right, it has been a long time coming certainly if you were a football fan. and many of the other leagues around europe in particular are also getting under way. in france... kylian mbappe has back in the first team fold at paris st—germain after his contract disagreement with the club led to him being left out of the squad for their preseason tour and the opening game of the french league season, which he watched from the stands. the defending champions could only draw 0—0 with lorient. and psg say afer very constructive and postitive disucssions before the game, the france international was reinstated in first team training. mbappe has made clear he won't sign a new contract that has a year left to run but also won't leave the club now, meaning psg could lose him for free in 202a. bayern munich's big new signing couldn't help his team to another trophy on his first day at the club. one that would have been for harry kane the first of his career. the england captain completed his move to germany on the day of the super cup with bayern losing 3—0 to rb leipzig at the allianz arena. spain international dani olmo scored all three goals for last season's cup winners. while when kane came on to make his debut he could only manage three touches. well, kane's former team have their first match without him later. spurs play at brentford in their opening premier league game of the season. and despite all the comings and goings at the club... ..new manager ange postecoglou says their work in the transfer market is not yet done. what we are looking to do is, as i said, from day one, is to make sure we have a stronger team, stronger squad to kind of play the football we want and sort of develop over the next period of time. and over the next sort of three weeks, what the priority right now is, is to trim the squad down and to see where we are at and then fill the gaps where we need to fill the gaps. anthonyjoshua could be on course for a lucrative fight against another former heavyweight champion deontay wilder after winning his latest contest with a seventh round knockout in london. but it wasn't a perfect night forjoshua... ..who was also booed by the crowd during the fight with robert helenius. we collected all of them belts, defended them multiple times, done great business, stadium fights in america, saudi arabia. my team are amazing, so i put my faith in them to deliver. we just have got to hope the other team play ball as well, really. there hasn't been a home winner of the women's open golf forfive years... but britain's charley hull shares the lead heading into the final round of the women's open. hull lives just half an hour away from the walton heath course in the south of england. and she's nine under par alongside american lilia vu. hull hit six birdies in her third round 68. now a pre—match drink is the order of the day for a lot of football fans in england, but not many visiting a pub near birmingham city's st andrews stadium would have expected a seven time superbowl champion to bejoining them. there is though a reason for tom brady turning up at the roost. the former quarterback is involved with the club's new owners. and stayed on to watch them beat leeds 1—0 in the championship. dan pallett reports. cheering birmingham city fans are blowing it and it is due to the new american owners and the owners are pleased to be here. tom wagoner and tom brady's first game saw the blues beat leeds 1-0 with first game saw the blues beat leeds 1—0 with a

which involve curbing the powers of the supreme court ? will damage democracy there. but ministers insist unelected judges have too much power over elected politicians. the ongoing row has deeply divided the nation. now to the drive to reduce plastic pollution. here in the uk, charges have been introduced for single—use plastic bags, first in wales, then northern ireland, scotland and finally in england, where a charge was extended to all businesses in 2021. our reporter gemma dawson has been to find out how the changes have affected people's day—to—day lives. when it comes to shopping bags, you either need to bring them from home or buy them. have you brought your bags with you? yes. some of our bags are about eight years old? oh, yeah. i normally always bring my own bag. nine and ten times they break halfway home. i don't drive, so when i walk, i get halfway home and then itjust splits. get a trolley. you can reuse it time and time again without causing any litter. so we've had six this week, we had four last week. - at the seafront i meet lianne from the local beach clean—up team. she says the number of plastic bags yhey�*re picking up is going down. i think they've dropped over the last couple of years, - generally, the plastic bags. it has been a good thing - they brought in the charges. it has decreased their use and we're finding less. . england has become the last part of the uk to introduce a mandatory charge for the use of plastic bags. since the charge was first introduced, usage has dropped by more than 98% at seven of the leading supermarket chains, according to new government figures, but environmental campaigners point out the stats don't include bags for life. you all right packing? they call them bags for life, don't they? but i must have two dozen of them in the boot of the car. they should call them bags for the drive home! back in sutton—on—sea, some retailers are trying to make a difference. at the beach shop they stopped giving out practic bags altogether. to be honest, we've never really been in favour of plastic bags because they blow everywhere and you, know, the beach is literally feet away, but now it's just paper. generally, they're not the highest amount of plastic pollution any more. they were. maybe up to two years ago we had a very big, high content of plastic bags, but it has gone down. lianne now hopes october's ban on single—use items such as plates and cutlery will have similar results, but when it comes to bags, it's better to pack them rather than pay for more. gemma dawson, bbc news. before we go, just time to bring you some images ..of the perseid meteor shower, which was visible across much of europe overnight, where cloud permitted. this is a timelapse from croatia's lastovo island. the phenomenon is one of the highlights of the year for star—gazers and happens when debris from a comet, called swift?tuttle, enters the earth's atmosphere and burns up. as the skies turned dark and into the early hours of sunday morning, up to 100 shooting stars could be seen an hour. hello, once again, it is rather unsettled their looking picture for sunday with low pressure so close by there will be quite a number of showers around, someplace is well escaped, but it is difficult to say where. the winds are a little bit down compared to yesterday, but there is still a breeze. you can see there is still a breeze. you can see the tightly packed isobars and we've got another area of rain moving in later this evening and overnight. the closest to the low pressure, across the north and west dot london northern ireland, we will see the most frequent showers and heavy rumbles of thunder. there were some sharp showers in the morning. few were in the southwest. one or two sharp ones could develop anywhere. temperatures are similar to those on saturday. it will be pleasant in the sunshine. it is all change this evening and overnight. the showers will give way to longer spells of wayne for much of england and wales. quite heavy rain for wells in northern england. with a high moisture content, the humidity is higher and it will be a warm night. a scattering of showers will continue. it will be chillier or fresher as we start monday in northern ireland and scotland. some good spells of sunshine in monday. the rain is close by to the borders. it will take its time to clear out of the way. there will be some fewer showers rolling in later. it is uncertain how quickly the rain will clear. it might brighten up in some places. still 2a degrees, on the whole, a lot of cloud and rain on monday. the low pressure will clear away into tuesday. the close pressure —— the low pressure is still close enough to give us some low pressure. the showers will come along and be heavy and slow moving. some places will escape altogether and stay dry. the devil is in the details when it comes to the showers as to where. there will be some lengthy spells of sunshine. specially on wednesday and thursday because high pressure will start to build and. with it it will bring in some southerly winds and the temperatures will start to lift once again. low pressure is never too far away. although the temperatures will be lifting later in the week, we still run the risk of the next area of low pressure coming back in and bringing with a spell of showers once again. this is bbc news. the headlines: more expert resources have been sent to hawaii, where forensic work is continuing to identify victims of devastating wildfires. at least 93 people are known to have died, but hundreds remain unaccounted for. it is the deadliest disaster of its kind in the us for more than a century. the british government is under renewed pressure to stop migrants crossing the channel in small boats, after six people drowned off the french coast. officials say 59 people — many of them afghans — were rescued by french and british coastguards. the taliban say afghan universities are ready to re—admit women, but the final decision is up to the group's supreme leader. the hardline islamists banned female students from campuses last year. the ban triggered protests by afghan women and prompted condemnation from around the world. now on bbc news, haaland: made in norway. describe erling in one word. it's "monster". i'll give you two words. hard—working. he's tall, he's strong, he's fast. "the big viking", as i call him.

hawaii's attorney general has announced an investigation into why the island's warning siren didn't sound at the height of the emergency. questions are also being asked about whether power to the island should have been cut. for more, here's our correspondent in hawaii, sophie long. this is what remains of lahaina. cars abandoned as people ran and jumped into the sea to escape the flames. homes and businesses reduced to charred remains. president biden promised immediate help and said every available asset should be used to provide it, but, days later, people here say it's not yet reaching those most in need and people like felicia are desperately trying to get supplies into lahaina themselves. i'm frustrated. people are... we're all together. we're one family, we need to take care of each other. no—one's feeding everyone. they're traumatised. they're upset. no—one's giving hugs. they need mental help. what do you need from me? to hear people in the same pants since the fire on thursday. kids in the same diapers since thursday. people without food. they haven't drank since before the fire. what are we doing? hundreds of thousands flock to maui's stunning coastline every year and thousands ofjobs here are dependent on tourism, but the jarring contrast between those holidaying and those hurting is difficult to bear with so many still unaccounted for. the same waters that our people just died in three days ago are the same waters the very next day these visitors, tourists were swimming in and that says a lot about where their heart and mind is through all of this and where our heart and mind is through all of this, as well. you don't see our people swimming, snorkelling, surfing. nobody is having fun in tragedy and continuing their lives like nothing has happened. there is two hawaiis right now. there is the hawaii we're living in and the hawaii they're living in, they're visiting in. as search and recovery teams continue their difficult task of sifting through the remains, people queue for hours to get back to what were their homes. confusion is leading to frustration. at 8.30, we went there. they said, "go to the other side." so we went to the other side and same thing. there's, like, a line and it's not even moving so we came back here. so we got here at 9.30 and it's 12.30 right now. they're not telling us what to do. the cops are just going back and forth. but the authorities are asking for patience. we know we've got to go quick, but we've got to do it right, so when we pick up the remains and they fall apart... so when you have 200 people running through the scene yesterday, and some of you, that's what you're stepping on. i don't know how much more you want me to describe it. that's what you're stepping on. give us a little bit of time to contain that, please. people already know this is the deadliest disaster in hawaii's history and the death toll is still climbing. sophie long, bbc news, maui. as well as the high death toll, thousands of people have been left homeless and in need of help from the authorities. helena humphrey has been speaking to some of those seeking assistance in maui and also to the governor of hawaii. so many people are still unaccounted for when we were at the shelters today. so many people were coming looking for loved ones that had no cell phone reception. they haven't been able to get in touch. and some of the first things we asked them after asking, "are you 0k?" is how did you get out? did you hear a siren? did you get a text message alert? and every time the answer was no. we only got out because we saw a wall of flames coming towards us. we felt the heat. we heard our neighbors banging on our doors. and you really saw the testament of that in terms of essentially the walking wounded at times coming into that shelter, people with bandages on their feet, on their legs, on their hands, having essentially had to run from the flames. so, of course, one of the questions front and foremost at that press conference today was about those early warning systems. no questions were taken in the room, but i did put it to the governor in an exclusive interview. take a listen to what he told me. that's it. governor green, thank you for being with us. out of every single person that we've spoken to today, every person that we've met, not one person has said that they heard a siren or received a text message alert. are you clearer in understanding what went wrong? was it human error or was maui unprepared? i think really what it was was an incredibly overwhelming circumstance, which was a hurricane and hurricane force winds simultaneously with fire. and we've not experienced anything like that in the region in a town before. there was a lot of response going on amongst the firefighters all across the island. i think that was the greatest confounding issue. but my team is doing a thorough review. we've begun it with our attorney general, and that's the important piece for us now. of course, most of our efforts are going to be on recovery, finding a way to reunite families with either those that they've lost so that they have closure or getting them housing and survival. these processes normally come much after an incident like this, but we're doing it in parallel because we want to be safer and learn right now. what do you say to those people who received no alert whatsoever, who've lost everything, their loved ones? absolutely everything. i'd say this is something that we're aware of, that the tragedies like these occur. we have volcanic eruptions and sometimes only minutes to alert people. we have earthquakes and tsunamis that come within minutes. this is something that actually those of us in hawaii have long been tragically familiar with. and this is one of the great challenges of living 3,000 miles away from any other landmass with modest resources. but we will be able to give people much more answer in the future once our review is thoroughly done. do you know how you'll make sure that it doesn't happen again? well, my administration started just six months ago, so we've just begun to govern. and among the many things we're doing is preparing for natural disasters. and usually that is hurricane related. that means preparedness along the shoreline, having the ability to get resources to our people. so we're early in our term and we've just begun to prepare our state for the future. governor green, thank you. so that is then the twin challenge for authorities right now, recovery efforts, whilst also conducting investigations as well. but in terms of the response from this island, what we're seeing is so many volunteers getting involved. people have lost everything. but anyone who has anything coming to shelters, donating food, water supplies, baby supplies and so on, because we're meeting people who can't even find a space in shelters, who are sleeping out in the open right now. and it continues to be very hot. it continues to be very windy. but when you speak to people, what really comes through is something that people in here in hawaii pride themselves on and it's bittersweet to witness. it is a spirit of aloha, of warmth and generosity and coming together in the face of what is the biggest challenge that this island probably has ever seen in terms of natural disasters. while the authorities continue the difficult work of searching for and identifying the dead after the devastating fire in the town of lahaina, some hawaii residents are taking relief effort into their own hands. john sudworth went out with one group of volunteers taking relief supplies by boat. we are aboard the ocean spared a boat owned by the pacific whale foundation on marine conservation charity, but today, the staff of volunteers are on a very different type of mission. have a look down here. these are fuel cans. a lot of the people in the disaster zone depend on generators for cooking. this will be a vital lifeline. over here, something else badly needed, fresh drinking water. we can clearly see the town of lahaina now and what you can make out is the blackened line scape above the town. that was where the grass was burning and what happened with a hurricane blowing way off to the south, the pressure brought to the wind over the top of the island and picking up speed as it was going down and picking up sparks from the fire and breaking them directly into the town. they did not stand a chance. as well as the devastated town of lahaina which is a short distance that way, there are communities like this one that were not directly affected by the fire, but nonetheless have been cut off. without road access or power or communication four days. this is vital aid and all of it delivered by volunteering. to ukraine now and the government has claimed "partial success" in their counter—offensive in the zaporijia region. the ukrainian general staff said that the armed forces had gained ground around the village and had successfully repelled russian counter attacks elsewhere along the front line. it is now over two months since ukraine started it's counter offensive. in that time, they have retaken several villages and advanced several kilometres but have yet to achieve a significant breakthrough. current ukrainian gains have come at a heavy cost and medical aid is playing a vital role in saving lives both on the front lines and in ukrainain cities hit by russian missiles. joining me now is daniel whitehead from the charity, medical life lines ukraine — who buy and send ambulances and other medical aid to the country. thank you forjoining us. thank you for coming in. tell us a little bit about your charity. irate for

how the aid is being used and it is... i don't want to use hyperbole, but you know that what you are doing is saving lives, the impact that it has on people is massive. they do not have ambulances in the numbers they need. after we have delivered them, they had a few more. the footage of ambulances being destroyed or we get photographs from hospitals that we are connected with including one in kherson last week that got hit. and a young doctor was killed, we understand, on his first day. and you can see the impact not only on those individuals, but also only on those individuals, but also on the infrastructure of the hospitals and what they need. being able to do something that redresses that balance is an amazing feeling. when the war began, there was a huge keenness both in the uk and around the world for people to help and donate, is that level of enthusiasm still there? have you seen a drop—off in and volunteers? we still there? have you seen a drop-off in and volunteers? we

ukrainians, normal people who are suffering at the sharp end of a mechanized war. what i tell the people if there are people watching who are doing something similar, trying to help in ukraine and they are feeling that they are running out of steam, brought in the circle of people you are talking to because if you just speak to the same people the whole time, those people will get... we find we have a huge group of drivers, volunteer drivers who raise £7,000 minimum in orderto drivers, volunteer drivers who raise £7,000 minimum in order to fund the ambulances and to get them out to ukraine. and i speak to more people all the time, i extend an invitation to you live on air, to become one of our volunteer drivers, but if you speak to more people, people say wow, i could actually do that, i could do something to help you make there is a massive difference between giving an amount of money, ten or £15 whatever it might be and actually doing something and knowing people who are doing those

coming under renewed pressure to stop migrants crossing the sea from france in small boats — after six people drowned in the channel. opposition parties and campaigners have called for urgent action. the french authorities say all the victims of saturday's disaster were afghan men. nearly 60 others were rescued from the water. simonjones reports from dover. just hours after yesterday's tragedy in the channel, more migrants were being brought to dover after being picked up at sea, undeterred by the evident risks of taking to the water in overcrowded, flimsy boats. it was just such a boat that sank, prompting a huge emergency response. the survivors said some of them had been trying to bail out water with their shoes. others were in the sea pleading for help. a harrowing incident for the lifeboat crews. the french minister responsible for safety at sea visited some of those involved in the rescue operation in calais, keen to talk about the people who were helped to safety. this terrible event shows that thanks to cooperation between france and britain we managed to save lives. that's what we have to focus on. last december, at least four people died when their boat capsized. there are now renewed calls for increased cooperation between britain and france. it is absolutely essential the authorities are able to cooperate to prevent people making these dangerous journeys. the fact that this is continuing is an indication of, up to now, the failure of cooperation. there have been frequent attempts over recent years for the french and british authorities to reach agreement on a more effective means of policing the channel and stopping people embarking on these deadly and dangerousjourneys, but we are not seeing the results of that. the british government has described the deaths as "devastating". it says the incident is another reminder of the dangers of crossing the channel in small boats and the need to break the business model of the people—smugglers who are organising the journeys. more than 16,000 people have made the crossing so far this year, despite the government promising to stop the boats. charities say this latest tragedy needs to focus minds on both sides of the channel to try to prevent further loss of life at sea. simonjones, bbc news, dover. now it's time for a look at today's sport with hugh ferris. it is exciting to see the premier league back in action this weekend. that's right, it has been a long time coming certainly if you were a football fan. and many of the other leagues around europe in particular are also getting under way. in france... kylian mbappe has back in the first team fold at paris st—germain after his contract disagreement with the club led to him being left out of the squad for their preseason tour and the opening game of the french league season, which he watched from the stands. the defending champions could only draw 0—0 with lorient. and psg say afer very constructive and postitive disucssions before the game, the france international was reinstated in first team training. mbappe has made clear he won't sign a new contract that has a year left to run but also won't leave the club now, meaning psg could lose him for free in 202a. bayern munich's big new signing couldn't help his team to another trophy on his first day at the club. one that would have been for harry kane the first of his career. the england captain completed his move to germany on the day of the super cup with bayern losing 3—0 to rb leipzig at the allianz arena. spain international dani olmo scored all three goals for last season's cup winners. while when kane came on to make his debut he could only manage three touches. well, kane's former team have their first match without him later. spurs play at brentford in their opening premier league game of the season. and despite all the comings and goings at the club... ..new manager ange postecoglou says their work in the transfer market is not yet done. what we are looking to do is, as i said, from day one, is to make sure we have a stronger team, stronger squad to kind of play the football we want and sort of develop over the next period of time. and over the next sort of three weeks, what the priority right now is, is to trim the squad down and to see where we are at and then fill the gaps where we need to fill the gaps. anthonyjoshua could be on course for a lucrative fight against another former heavyweight champion deontay wilder after winning his latest contest with a seventh round knockout in london. but it wasn't a perfect night forjoshua... ..who was also booed by the crowd during the fight with robert helenius. we collected all of them belts, defended them multiple times, done great business, stadium fights in america, saudi arabia. my team are amazing, so i put my faith in them to deliver. we just have got to hope the other team play ball as well, really. there hasn't been a home winner of the women's open golf forfive years... but britain's charley hull shares the lead heading into the final round of the women's open. hull lives just half an hour away from the walton heath course in the south of england. and she's nine under par alongside american lilia vu. hull hit six birdies in her third round 68. now a pre—match drink is the order of the day for a lot of football fans in england, but not many visiting a pub near birmingham city's st andrews stadium would have expected a seven time superbowl champion to bejoining them. there is though a reason for tom brady turning up at the roost. the former quarterback is involved with the club's new owners. and stayed on to watch them beat leeds 1—0 in the championship. dan pallett reports. cheering birmingham city fans are blowing it and it is due to the new american owners and the owners are pleased to be here. tom wagoner and tom brady's first game saw the blues beat leeds 1-0 with first game saw the blues beat leeds 1—0 with a penalty. the first game saw the blues beat leeds 1-0 with a penalty.— 1-0 with a penalty. the team played well. i 1-0 with a penalty. the team played well- i think — 1-0 with a penalty. the team

which involve curbing the powers of the supreme court ? will damage democracy there. but ministers insist unelected judges have too much power over elected politicians. the ongoing row has deeply divided the nation. now to the drive to reduce plastic pollution. here in the uk, charges have been introduced for single—use plastic bags, first in wales, then northern ireland, scotland and finally in england, where a charge was extended to all businesses in 2021. our reporter gemma dawson has been to find out how the changes have affected people's day—to—day lives. when it comes to shopping bags, you either need to bring them from home or buy them. have you brought your bags with you? yes. some of our bags are about eight years old? oh, yeah. i normally always bring my own bag. nine and ten times they break halfway home. i don't drive, so when i walk, i get halfway home and then itjust splits. get a trolley. you can reuse it time and time again without causing any litter. so we've had six this week, we had four last week. - at the seafront i meet lianne from the local beach clean—up team. she says the number of plastic bags yhey�*re picking up is going down. i think they've dropped over the last couple of years, - generally, the plastic bags. it has been a good thing - they brought in the charges. it has decreased their use and we're finding less. . england has become the last part of the uk to introduce a mandatory charge for the use of plastic bags. since the charge was first introduced, usage has dropped by more than 98% at seven of the leading supermarket chains, according to new government figures, but environmental campaigners point out the stats don't include bags for life. you all right packing? they call them bags for life, don't they? but i must have two dozen of them in the boot of the car. they should call them bags for the drive home! back in sutton—on—sea, some retailers are trying to make a difference. at the beach shop they stopped giving out practic bags altogether. to be honest, we've never really been in favour of plastic bags because they blow everywhere and you, know, the beach is literally feet away, but now it's just paper. generally, they're not the highest amount of plastic pollution any more. they were. maybe up to two years ago we had a very big, high content of plastic bags, but it has gone down. lianne now hopes october's ban on single—use items such as plates and cutlery will have similar results, but when it comes to bags, it's better to pack them rather than pay for more. gemma dawson, bbc news. before we go, just time to bring you some images ..of the perseid meteor shower, which was visible across much of europe overnight, where cloud permitted. this is a timelapse from croatia's lastovo island. the phenomenon is one of the highlights of the year for star—gazers and happens when debris from a comet, called swift?tuttle, enters the earth's atmosphere and burns up. as the skies turned dark and into the early hours of sunday morning, up to 100 shooting stars could be seen an hour. hello, once again, it is rather unsettled their looking picture for sunday with low pressure so close by there will be quite a number of showers around, someplace is well escaped, but it is difficult to say where. the winds are a little bit down compared to yesterday, but there is still a breeze. you can see there is still a breeze. you can see the tightly packed isobars and we've got another area of rain moving in later this evening and overnight. the closest to the low pressure, across the north and west dot london northern ireland, we will see the most frequent showers and heavy rumbles of thunder. there were some sharp showers in the morning. few were in the southwest. one or two sharp ones could develop anywhere. temperatures are similar to those on saturday. it will be pleasant in the sunshine. it is all change this evening and overnight. the showers will give way to longer spells of wayne for much of england and wales. quite heavy rain for wells in northern england. with a high moisture content, the humidity is higher and it will be a warm night. a scattering of showers will continue. it will be chillier or fresher as we start monday in northern ireland and scotland. some good spells of sunshine in monday. the rain is close by to the borders. it will take its time to clear out of the way. there will be some fewer showers rolling in later. it is uncertain how quickly the rain will clear. it might brighten up in some places. still 2a degrees, on the whole, a lot of cloud and rain on monday. the low pressure will clear away into tuesday. the close pressure —— the low pressure is still close enough to give us some low pressure. the showers will come along and be heavy and slow moving. some places will escape altogether and stay dry. the devil is in the details when it comes to the showers as to where. there will be some lengthy spells of sunshine. specially on wednesday and thursday because high pressure will start to build and. with it it will bring in some southerly winds and the temperatures will start to lift once again. low pressure is never too far away. although the temperatures will be lifting later in the week, we still run the risk of the next area of low pressure coming back in and bringing with a spell of showers once again. this is bbc news. the headlines: more expert resources have been sent to hawaii, where forensic work is continuing to identify victims of devastating wildfires. at least 93 people are known to have died, but hundreds remain unaccounted for. it is the deadliest disaster of its kind in the us for more than a century. the british government is under renewed pressure to stop migrants crossing the channel in small boats, after six people drowned off the french coast. officials say 59 people — many of them afghans — were rescued by french and british coastguards. the taliban say afghan universities are ready to re—admit women, but the final decision is up to the group's supreme leader. the hardline islamists banned female students from campuses last year. the ban triggered protests by afghan women and prompted condemnation from around the world. now on bbc news, haaland: made in norway. describe erling in one word. it's "monster". i'll give you two words. hard—working. he's tall, he's strong, he's fast.
