and shelter for survivors. 93 people are now known to have died, but the governor of hawaii has warned people to expect that number to rise significantly, after the worst wildfires to hit an american state in more than a century. our north america correspondent, john sudworth, reports from the island. vital supplies being loaded onto a boat that would normally be taking tourists whale watching. these boats are now making multiple daily trips into the disaster zone with a growing sense of frustration. we are all wondering, why was there no help sent from oahu? why the limited resources or police on this island let alone? where is support for them? why are we taking supplies on a boat instead of helicopter? we do this because we have two. an hour into the journey and the devastation along the shoreline comes into view. we can quite clearly see the town of lahaina now and you can make out is the blackened landscape above the town where the grass is burning and what happened with the hurricane blowing away to the south, the pressure brought the wind over the top of the island, picking up speed on the way down the mountainside and then picking up sparks from that fire and bringing them directly into the town. they didn't stand a chance. inside, there is little left. just remnants of shattered lives and livelihoods. a stark reminder of the deep humanitarian need here. as the aid is brought ashore, many of those helping out have also been affected by the fire. i was fighting for my life with my four—year—old boy in my hands. i was iwas in i was in the water for eight hours. there was a point that in my head i was thinking, that's it, you know. but my boy kept me going to survive. this footage shows the terror for those having to take shel that once again prompt that same question. shelter in the water. we were wondering, where is the help? when we want to get the help, we are waiting for it and it's really bad. there are huge challenges for the authorities, not least searching for human remains while securing a site from the public and the media. we have got to go quick and we have got to do it right. 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. five days on, the true scale of hawaii's disaster is becoming clearer. john sudworth, bbc news, maui. the focus is now is on getting aid to survivors. my colleague helena humphrey is at the harbour in maui. monica, we are right now on the road to lahaina, we have moved positions and this is as close as we can get 21. what you can see behind me is the last police checkpoint. the only people who are allowed in our emergency workers and it comes at a time when people are becoming ever more frustrated in lahaina, ever more desperate, calling for aid to make its way in, for food and clean drinking water, for shelterfor clean drinking water, for shelter for these people who have lost absolutely everything. we have been in this location in this area, we have been speaking to us border patrol, they have been flown in from san diego a couple of days ago. they have been in lahaina and we asked them what the situation is like there and they said it was grim. we also asked them about coordination efforts and they said at times it's been a case of hurry up and wait. this coming at a time when questions have been going not only about the early warning system but also about the speed of the response here. we have heard from your reporting as well as our colleaguejohn southworth about the devastation. i can't imagine losing everything like that. tell us a bit about some of the stories you've encountered. ., , ., encountered. people here are utterly traumatised, - encountered. people here are utterly traumatised, that - encountered. people here are utterly traumatised, that is i utterly traumatised, that is becoming ever more apparent. i think it's fair to say that they can't even wrap their head around their losses. and at a time when over 1000 people on this island also remain missing, they can't process that boss or even begin to mourn or grieve that and i think one of the images that i know probably will stay with me from this is meeting a young man called blake dan by the harbour where volunteers were operating, trying to get aid and he wasjust operating, trying to get aid and he was just standing there holding a cowboy hat. he is from lahaina and had lost as —— everything and he said when he went back to the rubble that was the only thing that was left. on the inside, people need help, gas. people can't come back, everybody's stranded. there are a lot of people still stranded over there. nobody has a cell service so they don't know what's going on — for those who don't have cars, it's even harder. people are riding bikes for 20 miles to get to the other side to find out what's happening, just to see that everybody is living a normal life on the other side of the island — it's hard to accept. so anybody that is looking to donate, try and do your research and go to the small families and find private party gofundmes and things like that, rather than the bigger organisations, because that is good for long term and that money is much appreciated, but lahaina needs you right now and that money that's going to these small organisations, these small families, is directed that day, the money is spent that day. you're holding your hat, i know you went back to lahaina, tell us what you found the fact you are able to recover this as your sole belonging? i wasn't able to get much gather anything out of my house, i was busy running up and down the block telling everybody it's time to go, because i saw the smoke coming and i knew it was most likely going to take out the town. the hardest thing about that for the owners of the houses — luckily i'm indemnified, but the owners of the house, they don't want to accept the houses are burning down. it's a small town, it's a strong community, the strongest i've ever seen. it's almost impossible to get somebody to build a house and tell them the house is going to burn down. this was the only thing that made it of mine, this hat. i recently started riding bulls, it was a big sign to me that i should keep doing what you want to do, and keep pushing through no matter what. i was in my truck and my truck wa— melted to the ground. and what was remarkable about his story, he was there with a group of friends and together the pick—up truck they were distributing fuel and supplies to other people who were in need, so really people on this island coming together to do whatever they can and volunteers also at that harbour finding ways to get over, including using jet skis, whatever they could, to try and reach people in need. absolutely remarkable. stay safe and thank you forjoining us on the programme. in the uk, there's growing pressure on the government to do more to stop migrants crossing the english channel on small boats after six people drowned off the coast of france. labour says people smugglers are "running rings" around government efforts to tackle the problem. uk ministers have pushed tougher laws through parliament which make it illegal for people to claim asylum in britain if they've arrived on small boats. simonjones has the latest. 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. processed 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 that they're allowed to get on and live the rest of their lives happily, but also action on these criminal gangs. the government says new legislation is beginning to have an impact on the exploitative business model of the smugglers. and it insists increased patrols on beaches in northern france alongside a new returns agreement with albania are delivering results. there are record numbers of people arriving in europe at the moment, but the actual numbers coming from france into the united kingdom have gone down. there's a lot of work that's been undertaken to achieve that. we're working very closely with the french government now to stop 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 was going to happen some time and we'll 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. simonjones, bbc news, dover. let's take a look at some of the stories in the headlines in the uk. nine people have been injured — two of them seriously — after a car veered off the road and crashed into a campsite in pembrokeshire in wales on saturday night. the campsite owner said a baby in the tent miraculously escaped serious injury, as it was protected by its cot. 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. pubs in england and wales can continue selling "takeaway drinks" until at least 2025 after the government decided to extend licensing measures brought in during

the state for his death. she said his personal guards should have prevented the killing. mr vicencio died earlier this week, less than two weeks before elections were due to take place. he was a vocal critic of drug crime in ecuador. our south america correspondent katy watson has this report. two daughters remembering their father. a very personal goodbye after what was a very public murder. this was the moment, leaving a campaign event, that fernando villavicencio was gunned down. a man who'd exposed corruption, a man who said he wasn't afraid. his supporters had enough of the violence. he says the police are hypocrites for failing to protect fernando villavicencio. six colombians have been arrested and are now in jail. meanwhile, the country is in a state of emergency. just days on from losing her husband, his widow spoke out overnight. the bulletproof vest and helmet, a clear sign of the dangers she too faces. translation: they didn't protect him as they should have. the state was in charge of fernando's 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 personal guards did not do theirjob. environmentalist andrea gonzalez was his running mate. she's agreed to take his place and keep his legacy going. "i never thought this would be permanent," she said. fernando villavicencio was well aware of the risks he was taking by speaking out against corruption and organised crime. just a few days before his murder, he'd said he'd been warned. keep mentioning the choneros gang, and they would break him. at dawn today, one of the gangs leaders, jose adolfo macias, also known as fito, was transferred to another prison, an operation involving thousands of police and soldiers. but then these videos surfaced. warnings behind bars sent from different prisons and a simple message for ecuador�*s president, guillermo lasso. he says the move is a smoke screen to hide his own connections with criminal gangs. and then came the threat — keep fito alive for the well—being of ecuadorians. if not, thousands will die. more evidence is needed to showjust how powerful organised crime is in ecuador. this used to be one of the more peaceful countries in south america. now, mexican and colombian cartels vying for territory have taken over. this is a battle of power between cartels and politicians, but who ultimately wins? there's a great deal of fear as the campaign enters its final week. katy watson, bbc news. the iranian parliament has voted to review a controversial hijab law behind closed doors — meaning it is likely there will be no public debate on the issue. the so—called hijab and chastity bill would impose new punishments on women who fail to wear the headscarf. the bbc�*s azadeh moshiri explains. the timing of this bill is what makes it so significant, because we're only a month away from the one year anniversary of mahsa amini's death, the young kurdish woman who died in custody of the morality police after allegedly violating the country's strict dress code. now, that event led to protests across the country and led to a movement that the government struggled to contain. what we're seeing now is a push and pull between a government that wants to protect the mandatory hijab and women in iran who are openly defying it, because as you'll see here, the streets of iran in places like the capital tehran, don't look like they did a year ago before these protests erupted. now, the bill itself is called the hijab and chastity bill. and what it would do is enforce new punishments and hefty fines on women who violate this law. but what is also concerning is the fact that iran's parliament has invoked article 85. that means that a parliamentary committee can now review the bill behind closed doors and then ratify it. now, once it's approved by iran's powerful guardian council, mps would then vote on whether it would be enforced on a three to five year trial basis, what they call an experimental basis. all of this means that the particulars of a bill that further criminalises the mandatory hijab could go through without any open debate. now, this isn't the first time or the first few steps that the iranian government has been taking before this anniversary. they've made several moves to further enforce the hijab. and one of those moves, you will remember, was bringing back the morality police, the same morality police that they took off the streets of iran after the death of mahsa amini. now, we may not see protests on the scale of what we did before, but women are still openly defying the mandatory hijab law, despite a violent crackdown by the islamic republic. and that is going to worry the establishment there, because they see any threat to the mandatory hijab as a threat to the islamic republic itself. and they're going to want to stamp it out. meanwhile, an iranian journalist who was sentenced to two years in prison for interviewing the father of mahsa amini has been freed. on her release from tehran�*s evin prison, nazila maroufian, posted a picture of herself on social media without a headscarf, part of the islamic dress code ms amini had allegedly violated before her death in custody last september. ms maroufian was arrested in november after she published an interview with amjad amini. she was sentenced injanuary on charges of propaganda against the system and spreading false news. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. another typhoon is heading towards japan and is expected to to make landfall on tuesday on the main island of honshu. japan's meteorological agency says typhoon lan is slow moving and will bring heavy rain and violent gusts from around 6am local time on tuesday. china says the number of people killed in a mudslide in the northern province of shaanxi has risen to 21. emergency services say six people are still missing. friday's mudslide was triggered by torrential rain. china has been grappling with record breaking rainfall since last month when typhoon doksuri struck. china has threatened to take forceful measures in response to a visit to new york by taiwan's vice president. william lai made a stop—over on his way to paraguay, one of the few countries that maintain diplomatic relations with taiwan. in new zealand, there has been a dramatic rise in the number of teenagers vaping — as cigarette smoking fell to its lowest levels. it's prompted the government there to ban most disposable vapes, and banning vaping stores selling such products. our correspondent shaimaa khalil sent this report. there are probably more teens that do vape that don't at school and they pack out the bathrooms. coco was 12 when she vaped for the first time. she is now 15 and trying to quit. we've changed her name and voice to protect identity. it got more accessible for me so i got addicted. everyone around me was vaping at the time, and then that's when also the colourful flavours came out and thatjust got every kid on it. vaping is now the habit of choice for millions of young people around the world like coco. it's illegal to sell it to under 18s but she tells me that's never stopped her or her friends. the older kids sell to the younger kids and lots of shops don't check id. you can just walk in there, you can even go in your uniform and they'll sell it to you. we're coming up here to the other vape shop, whichever gate the kids come out, there's a vape shop. there's one just here. like many mothers, marnie wilton is worried about how prevalent vaping has become. and this is the primary school, 60 metres away. she said new regulations which include keeping any new vape shops more than 300 metres from schools, failed to address the problem. absolutely does not go far enough to help our children. the law is that the government announced, the new laws, do nothing to affect existing stores that are already built. only a few weeks before the new rules were due to come into effect, another vape shop opened near local school. parents take the streets saying their children being protected. pineapple ice is not targeting a person who's been smoking for 30 years. vaughn keough has witnessed first—hand how schools have become the epicentre of vaping. a lot of which, he says, is targeted at youngsters. from a product marketing and trying to capture a market perspective, aome genius work has gone on, but it's not helping young people. it might be helping people get off smoking — all good, carry on with that. but there's far too many young people that never would have even picked up or even thought about picking up a cigarette and have got two or three vapes in different pockets and different jackets. and that's just not cool. neighbouring australia has taken a hardline approach, banning recreational vaping. ben youdan says that new zealand, like the uk, is aiming for a more holistic method. there's no doubt that our smoking rates have benefited hugely from tens of thousands of people switching from smoking to vaping. we've seen smoking rates drop a third here. we need to talk to kids around, vaping exists. are you experimenting? how do you resist experimenting? what are the skills to say no to somebody trying to sell it to you in the street or encourage you to try it? and then we need to treat the kids who are showing signs of dependence. it's a tough balance to strike. vaping may have started as a solution to smoking, but it has got its own uncontrollable problem. shaimaa khalil, bbc news. before we go, just time to bring you some images of the perseid meteor shower, which has been visible across much of europe. this is a time—lapse from croatia. the phenomenon is one of the highlights of the year for star—gazers and happens when debris from a comet enters the earth's atmosphere and burns up. that's all for now — stay with bbc news. hello there. this upcoming week looks to be one of mixed fortunes. we're starting the week off with low pressure, much like we had over the weekend, but it could be really quite wet across england and wales in particular on monday. then from tuesday onwards, high pressure starts to build in. that'll settle things down, it'll turn drier and also warm up by the end of the week, but also turn more humid. and there is an increasing chance of showers or thunderstorms as low pressure tries to push in off the atlantic. back to the here and now, though, monday looks pretty unsettled for england and wales. a cloudy, wet start with the heaviest rain across wales. northern england could see some localised flooding as this rain continues to move northwards and improvements across the rest of england and wales into the afternoon. sunny spells, scattered showers and not a bad day for scotland and northern ireland. fewer showers here, more in the way of sunshine, light winds here, but fresher across southern and southeastern areas. those temperatures range from 18—23 degrees. and then as we head through monday night, that area of low pressure continues to pull out into the north sea. many places will turn drier, one or two showers around, but lengthy, clear skies and temperatures range from 11—14 degrees. so as we head into tuesday, then we're in between weather systems and higher pressure trying to build in. so a much better day for most areas, certainly for england and wales on tuesday. could just see the back edge of that low pressure system clipping east and scotland with stronger winds, outbreaks of rain. but that will clear away and into the afternoon. many places will see sunny spells and just a few showers, mostly light, but the odd heavy one couldn't be ruled out. so it could be up to 22 or 2a degrees in the southeast with lighter winds, more sunshine. for wednesday, high pressure sits on top of the country. it'll stay dry for most places and winds will be very light. so we could start off a little bit mist and fog, some low cloud central northern areas through the afternoon for wednesday, high pressure sits on top of the country. there could still be an isolated shower through central and northern areas, but it'll feel a little bit warmer at this point. we could be up to 25 degrees, the warmest spots of the south. and then thursday, friday, we see high pressure to the east, lower pressure to the west. that'll start to draw in some warm and humid air off the near continent on a southeasterly breeze. so it really will warm up across southern and eastern areas towards the end of the week. could be the mid to high 20s, but there will be an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms moving in from the west.
