The wildfires are the worst to hit a state in america in over a century and there is growing anger on maui over both the lack of warning about the fires, and the response by officials to the thousands left without homes and in some cases adequate food and water. Sophie long reports from the island. 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 its not yet reaching those most in need and people like felicia are desperately trying to get supplies into lahaina themselves. Im frustrated. People are. Were all together. Were one family, we need to take care of each other. No one� s feeding everyone. Theyre traumatised. Theyre upset. No one� s giving hugs. They need mental help. What do you need for me . To hear people in the same pads since the fire on thursday. Kids in the same diapers since thursday. People without food. They havent drank since before the fire. What are we doing . Hundreds of thousands flock to mauis 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 dont 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 were living in and the hawaii theyre living in, theyre 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. 30am, we went there. They said, go to The Other Side. So we went to The Other Side and same thing. Theres, like, a line and its not even moving so we came back here. So we got here at 9. 30 and its 12. 30 right now. Theyre not telling us what to do. The cops arejust going back and forth. But the authorities are asking for patience. We know weve got to go quick, but weve 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, thats what youre stepping on. I dont know how much more you want me to describe it. Thats what youre stepping on. Give us a little bit of time to contain that, please. People already know this is the deadliest disaster in hawaiis history and the death toll is still climbing. The bbc has been speaking to the governor of hawaii, josh green, and asked him about the lack of warning to residents of lahaina about the approaching wildfires and what went wrong. I think really what it was was an incredibly overwhelming circumstance, which was a hurricane and Hurricane Force winds simultaneously with fire. And weve 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. Weve begun it with our attorney general, and thats 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 theyve lost so that they have closure or getting them housing and survival. These processes normally come much after an incident like this, but were doing it in parallel because we want to be safer and learn right now. Theres growing pressure on the uk government to do more to stop migrants crossing the channel on small boats after six people drowned off the coast of france. The Opposition Labour Party says people smugglers are � running rings around Government Efforts to tackle the problem. Uk ministers have pushed through parliament tougher laws, which make it illegal for people to claim asylum in the uk, if theyve arrived on small boats. Simonjones has the latest. Despite yesterdays deaths in the channel, the crossings have continued. 500 more people were brought to shore on saturday after being picked up in flimsy boats. In dover, though, thoughts remain with the six men who did not make it. Unfortunately, it was going to happen sometime and we will have another one before long. All the time people are trying to cross the channel in these boats which are not designed for the purpose, then, unfortunately, things will go wrong. After the initial shock about the latest loss of life at sea, focus is inevitably turned to what can be done to prevent more tragedies. The government has made stopping the boats one of its top priorities, but so far, that has not stopped the desire of many to get to the uk. Labour describes the governments approach as shambolic. It wants a new focus on tackling the criminal gangs bringing so many people across the channel. And it accuses ministers of allowing the Asylum Backlog to get completely out of control. The total failure to do the basics, process cases, get decisions made as quickly as possible. And then you can take action if people dont have the right to be in this country. And for those who do, you can make sure that they are allowed to get on and live the rest of their lives happily. But also action on these criminal gangs. The government insist increased patrols on beaches in Northern France and a returns deal with albania, are delivering results. There are record numbers of people arriving in europe at the moment, but the actual numbers of people arriving from france into the United Kingdom has gone down. There is a lot of work that has been undertaken to achieve that. Were working very closely with the french government now to stop boats being launched. Obviously we havent stopped them all. It will continue to be a problem, but we have stopped a lot. And the french minister responsible for safety at sea, on a visit to calais to thank those involved in the rescue operation, said british and french lifeboats working together prevented more deaths. This terrible event showed that thanks to cooperation between france and britain, we have managed to save lives, that is what we have to focus on. The wind has been too strong for crossings today, but as soon the weather improves, more will make the journey. A memorial on the seafront remembers those who have died seeking sanctuary in the uk. Six more men will now be added to that list. To niger now where the countrys new Military Leaders have been seeking support from nearby countries that have also experienced Military Coups in recent years. Delegations have visited both guinea and mali whos current governments seized power in 2021. Other countries in the region have come out firmly against the takoever however with the Economic Community of West African States agreeing to deploy a � stand by� force ready to restore order to the country. Earlier we spoke to nigers ambassador to the us Mamadou Kiari Liman Tinguiri who outlined why it was important that the elected government be restored. The responsibility is on the junta, they took him hostage, they took our country hostage, they have to give back our country to the people elected by the people to rule the country. That institution. The responsibility should not be reversed, who is responsible is very clear. Now people are suffering. For more on this im joined by david 0tto endely, director of the Geneva Centre for Africa Security strategic studies. We have been hearing in the last hour or so a group of muslim scholars from nigeria have been Visiting Niger and met the coup leaders, who they say were open to try to resolve the situation through diplomacy.

We will see if it can restore that line and come back to it. To ecuador, where the wife of murdered president ial candidate, fernando villavicencio, has blamed the state for his death. She said his personal guards should have prevented the killing. Mr villavicencio died earlier this week, less than two weeks before elections were due to take place. He was a vocal critic of corruption and drug crime that have beset ecuador. Robin brant has more. The report contains flash photography. Two daughters say goodbye to their father. Inside the flag draped coffin the man some in ecuador wanted to be the next president. 0ne supporter cant contain himself. He calls the Police Hypocrites for failing to protect fernando villavicencio. After his assassination, this country is now in a nationwide state of emergency, on the edge of a precipice. But his government provided police guard couldnt prevent this four days ago. This was the moment, leaving a rally that the man who had exposed corruption was gunned down as he got into a car. Six men have been arrested and are injail, all are colombian. Just days on from losing her husband, his widow spoke out overnight. But now she too needs protection, an armed guard, bullet proof vest and a helmet to think about. Translation they did not protect him as they should have protected him. This state was in charge of security, the state is directly responsible for the murder of my husband. The state still has to give many answers about everything that happened, his Security Guards did not do theirjob. Another woman now takes centre stage, this is his running mate, Environmental Activist andrea gonzales. She has agreed to take the place of the murdered candidate. I never thought this would be permanent, she said. The bullet proof vest now an essential part of her campaigning uniform. While the suspects in the assassination are injail, other inmates, injust their underwear, have been moved. There was a massive operation overnight to transfer one gang leader. In recent years, ecuador� s murder rate and drug crime have increased sharply. Prisons are the centre of the gang operations behind it. Once one of south americas stable peaceful nations, it now sits in the middle of a Borderless Organised Crime Battle with its colombian neighbours, and a bloody Election Campaign entering its final week. Lets go back to niger and see if you make contact our guest. Thank you very much forjoining us. I was saying that this group of muslim scholars have been to niger and met the coup leaders and they claim to be open to resolving the situation through diplomacy rather than conflict.

We have seen this group of scholars, these are mostly religious leaders who have been able to meet with the newly elected, appointed prime minister, they have also been able to meet with the leaders of the junta. Essentially, the decision in that meeting has been that the military and public is ready to have a dialogue with ecowas. Some of the Ecowas Envoys that were sent to speak to the junta were refused. Essentially because the militaryjunta claimed that the threat of Military Intervention was something that they did not appreciate. D0 something that they did not appreciate something that they did not a reciate. , ~ appreciate. Do you think it will come to that. Appreciate. Do you think it will come to that. Ecowas appreciate. Do you think it will come to that. Ecowas has appreciate. Do you think it will come to that. Ecowas has threatened to use military force, it is interesting that you have Different Countries in the region agreeing and disagreeing with that. Do you think it will come to Military Action . Ecowas made it very clear that they would prefer to use dialogue. They have now activated the Ecowas Standby force, they have also said that they are ready to deploy their forces to niger to restore democratic rule. There was supposed to be a meeting which could have been held today in ghana by the chiefs of defence, that meeting was to do with coming down with some kind of strategy, how many troops it would require, but that meeting has been postponed indefinitely. That means that the plan that ecowas had is perhaps on hold. In regards to the back door negotiations, may the success they had with some of islamic scholars. I dont think there is an appetite in the region for Military Intervention because ecowas will be split in the middle. We already know that countries like burkina faso, mali and guinea will be on the side of the junta. We also know that some ecowas members are very reluctant to send their military forces against an african country. We are not really sure, we hope and pray that much more dialogue and soft Intervention Process takes precedent over Military Intervention. Process takes precedent over Military Intervention. Thank you for talkin to Military Intervention. Thank you for talking to us now its time for a look at todays sport. Hello from the bbc sport centre. Well be hearing from harry kane in a moment. Tottenham hotspur have begun life without kane. Spurs are playing brentford in the premier league. Plenty of goals, it is 2 2 in the game at brentford. Later on, two of last seasons Big Underachievers Go Head to head with chelsea and liverpool. Headtohead with chelsea and liverool. ,. , liverpool. Two very talented Football Teams liverpool. Two very talented Football Teams will liverpool. Two very talented Football Teams will face liverpool. Two very talented | Football Teams will face each liverpool. Two very talented Football Teams will face each other, from the last games, a lot of good things, you can see that it is a really talented team, that is what we have to prepare for. It is the first home game for them, the first after a long break and after a disappointing season it is clear, they want to show up. New manager, top manager, who showed we have to be ready. And harry kane has been facing the media formally for the first time as a Bayern Munich player. The england captain said it was always a tough decision to leave tottenham after 19 years but wanted to be playing at the highest level and wasnt fazed by missing out on breaking on the all Time Premier League goalscoring record, for now. I am a professional and i have always pushed myself to my limits and ifelt the time is right, i needed to be playing at the highest level and be playing in the champions league, trying to win titles every year. So when i thought about it, and obviously bayern got in touch, it was a decision i wanted to make. Of course people will talk about the record and shearer, but i have got plenty of football left in my career. For now, it is concentrating on trying to achieve things here and push myself, push the team and reach new levels with this club. And that is all my focus is on right now. Roberto mancini has resigned as head coach of the Italian National team. The former Manchester City manager leaves just ten months before European Championship in germany with italy defending champions. Mancini took charge in 2018, and guided them to euro success two years ago, by beating england at wembley, but failed to qualify for last years world cup in qatar. Kylian mbappe is 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 ps6 say afer very constructive and postitive discussions before the game, the France International was reinstated in first team training. The final round of the womens open is under way at walton heath. Englands charley hulls in a share of the lead coming into the final round alongside american lillia vu. They both get under way shortly. Ally ewing, who had a five shot lead after the first two rounds, remains in touch on seven under. And fans enjoying a drink in birmingham, Near St Andrews Stadium were in for a bit of a surprise when seven time superbowl champion tom brady showed up to join them. There is though a reason for brady turning up at the roost. The former quarterback is involved with the clubs new owners and stayed on to watch them beat leeds 1 0 in the championship. An injury time winner for them, no doubt to the delight of the former new England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers star. And thats all the sport for now.

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 groups 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, this cultural life carlos acosta
