do you hear people in the same pads since the fire on thursday? kids in the same diapers since thursday? people without food. like, 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 mind is. you don't see our people swimming, snorkeling, surfing. _ nobody is having fun in tragedy and continuing their lives- like nothing has happened. there is two hawaiis right now — there's the hawaii we're living in and the hawaii _ they're living in. they're visiting in. the 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. 8.30, we went there. they said, "go, 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. and they're not telling us what to do. the cops arejust 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, and 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. let's speak to our correspondent john sudworth who's in maui, where it's early morning. everyone there seems overwhelmed by the scale of the recovery effort required? the scale of the recovery effort reuuired? ~ , ., required? well, it is overwhelming. eve bod required? well, it is overwhelming. everybody accepts _ required? well, it is overwhelming. everybody accepts that. _ required? well, it is overwhelming. everybody accepts that. waking - required? well, it is overwhelming. everybody accepts that. waking up| required? well, it is overwhelming. l everybody accepts that. waking up on another morning, though, there are these mounting frustrations. not only over the initial handling of the disaster, this sense that the authorities could have done more to warn people of the threat posed by the fire, but also over the relief effort and the response since. as you heard in sophie's report, we spent a few hours out on the water with the volunteer relief boats that have been taking multiple trips into the disaster zone daily, with water, fuel and clothing. they were asking similar questions. where are the federal authorities? where is the us military? and then there is another complex question raised by sophie's report. this is a place coping with huge loss, grief and trauma. a place totally dependent on tourism. that will pose other complex challenges for the authorities in the weeks and months to come.— for the authorities in the weeks and months to come. many thanks, john sudworth. the government is under growing pressure to do more to tackle people—smugglers operating the small boats crossing the channel — after six people drowned in a vessel off the coast of france. bridget phillipson, labour's shadow education secretary, says people smugglers are running rings around government efforts to tackle the problem. ministers have pushed tougher laws through parliament, which make it illegal for people to claim asylum in the uk if they've arrived on small boats. simonjones reports. despite yesterday's deaths in the channel off the coast of france, the crossings continued. 500 more people were brought to shore this weekend. every boat arriving puts more pressure on a prime minister who has made stopping them one of his top five priorities. labour says the people smugglers organising the journeys are running rings around the government, and it accuses ministers of allowing the asylum backlog to get completely out of control. process cases, get decisions made as quickly as possible, and then you can take action if people don't have a right to be in this country. and for those who do, you can make sure they are allowed to get on and live the rest of their lives happily. but also action on these criminal gangs. the government says it's vital to break the business model of the smugglers. it insists increased patrols on beaches in northern france and a new returns agreement with albania are delivering results. there are record numbers of people arriving in europe at the moment. butt the actual number is coming from france into the united kingdom have gone down. there is a lot of work that has been undertaken to achieve that. we are working very closely with the french government now to stop the boats being launched. obviously we haven't stopped them all. it's going to continue to be a problem. but we have stopped a lot. today, the winds have whipped up, meaning there have been no more crossings. but as soon as conditions improve, inevitably the people smugglers will be launching more boats from the beaches of northern france, bringing with them the further risk of tragedies in the channel. on the seafront in dover, a memorial to remember those who have died seeking sanctuary in the uk. six more men will now be added to that list. unfortunately, it is 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. and politically, that may mean choppy waters ahead. so far this year, more than 16,000 people have reached the uk in small boats. injust days people have reached the uk in small boats. in just days ago we reached that milestone figure of 100,000 people over the past five years. but a bit of context, that represents around 2% of all of those who have moved to the uk during that period. the authorities are trying to identify the six men who died yesterday. but when in december a boat sank, killing four people, only one of those has been identified. so it might prove to be tricky. tonight, the government insist that new legislation is making a difference to the business model of the people smugglers. the health secretary, steve barclay, says he wants to offer the help of hospitals in england to reduce nhs waiting lists in scotland and wales. figures this week showed a record 7.5 million people waiting for treatment in england alone — the government claims the percentage waiting for more than 18 months is higher in the two devolved nations than in england. our political correspondent, ione wells, is here. why is the uk government making this offer now? well, rishi sunak has been pretty clear that people should hold him to account if nhs waiting lists don't fall in england byjanuary account if nhs waiting lists don't fall in england by january 2025. account if nhs waiting lists don't fall in england byjanuary 2025. as you mention, waiting lists for hospital treatment in england have hit a record high of more than 7.5 million people. knowing that this could bite at the next election, uk ministers are keen to argue that things wouldn't be better off under labour or the things wouldn't be better off under labour orthe snp, things wouldn't be better off under labour or the snp, who are in power in scotland and wales. steve barclay has pointed to 73,000 people waiting, at least 77 weeks for treatment and wales, and 12,000 people waiting for treatment and appointments in scotland. welsh and scottish governments have hit back and said they are not like for like figures because they include different types of treatment in the waiting list stats in different nations. clearly, the nhs in all corners of the uk is facing huge challenges at the moment. but i think we will see more of these kind of attempts of to think we will see more of these kind of to pick the different nations against each other, because the tories know they will be judged on their record on the nhs in england. nine people have been injured, two of them seriously, after a car crashed into a campsite in newgale, pembrokeshire. it's thought the car veered off the road last night and then rolled into a tent and over a group of people. the car had to be lifted to free some of the casualties. six people were taken to hospital, with one airlifted by a coastguard rescue helicopter. in ecuador, a presidential candidate, fernando villavicencio, was murdered this week before elections which are due next sunday. he had been a vocal critic of drugs crime and corruption in the country. now andrea gonzalez, who's just 36, and was running for vice—president, has agreed to take his place — despite the obvious danger, as robin brant explains. two daughters say goodbye to their father. inside the flag—draped coffin the man some in ecuador wanted to be the next president. one supporter can't 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 couldn't 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 l have protected him. the 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 america's 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. with all the sport now, here's olly foster at the bbc sport centre. this time next week, there'll be a new name on the women's world cup. though england are favourites to reach next sunday's final, standing in their way are the co—hosts, with australia expected to come to a standstill for wednesday's semi—final. from sydney, here's our sports editor dan roan. a light recovery session for the lionesses today after the quarterfinal victory that kept sarina wiegman�*s side on course for world cup glory. the team's comeback against colombia in sydney, testament to its resilience and a growing belief. but with a first—ever appearance in the final at stake, the european champions now face their toughest test to date here, the co—hosts, australia. i’m here, the co-hosts, australia. i'm so excited — here, the co-hosts, australia. i'm so excited for _ here, the co—hosts, australia. in so excited for it. i love being in situations like that. i feel like we are definitely going to thrive from it. ifeel like when are definitely going to thrive from it. i feel like when we are at our best we are unstoppable. cortnee vine, at best we are unstoppable. cortnee vine. at her _ best we are unstoppable. cortnee vine, at her first _ best we are unstoppable. cortnee vine, at her first world _ best we are unstoppable. cortnee vine, at her first world cup. -
