Its estimated that could cost more than 5 billion. One of the buildings which was destroyed was the grace baptist church. Our correspondent sophie long is in hawaii and spoke to some of the congregation. The fire left more than a city devastated, and charred black buildings behind. Questions hover above the emptiness. How can you rebuild from this . What will exist here in the future . A now churchless congregation gathers at a coffee shop to share their pain. One of the Police Officers sent me pictures. It used to be my house. I wept, but weeping is not a lack of faith. Thank god that he gave us tears. Amazing grace. There are so many questions that remain without answers. Why did one survive to sit in a makeshift church when their neighbour didnt . What will become of their community so crippled by a loss thats still being counted . I dont think it will ever be the same. I hope it will be better. Thats my prayer. And i believe that, i think one day, you know, it can be an even better lahaina than it was hopefully, that is what i hope at least, yeah. How do they explain to those too young to understand what their parents cant comprehend . Children live in the moment most when theyre young. I so you may have to explain it more than once with them. But all you can do isjust be straightforward, tell em i the fire took the house. The terrible thing is that its going to be hard because the next fire, i you know, the next time they hear fire, that fear is going to come back. I we actually had one lady beating on our window, save me, save me. These people may have lost their homes but they have not lost their hope. We are going to build ourselves up, shake ourselves up, keep shake ourselves off, keep going forward, we are not broken. That place might be for now but it wont stay that way. And even the elderly with other places they could go will stay and rebuild. Family on the mainland are trying to get me to move back, and my son told my daughter, he said, you dont get it. Dad is going to die there. I because thats his home. Its our home. But well come back. Well survive, well get through this. Theyll tell their children that there has been mass death and destruction, but out of it came heroes and hope. Sophie long, bbc news, maui. Live now to dr Douglas Kelley from The Uk Centre For Ecology And Hydrology and who was the lead analyst for a un report last year, predicting a global increase in wildfire activity. Welcome to the programme. We will talk about hawaii are specifically in a moment but if we could talk about that report first of all, you talked about this huge increase in the number of extreme fires. Some of the number of extreme fires. Some of the figures, up 30 by 2050 and then by the end of the century up 50 , talk us through what it is down to. We talk about Climate Change a lot but it isntjust that, is it . Climate change does play a large role in that and some of the big heat we have had recently wouldnt have been possible without Climate Change and these are the things that dry out the conditions that promote wildfires and make them more intense but loud use plays a role as well, particularly in places where you have natural vegetation which might hold in more water which creates dumb and prevents wild fires spreading. When you start degrading them, chopping down forests, deforestation, that will also promote wildfire because the vegetation dries out, the trees dry out and we have more fires as a result so its a mixture of the two, Climate Change and land change which causes wildfires. The Climate Change and land change which causes wildfires. Causes wildfires. The way we manage the landscapes causes wildfires. The way we manage the landscapes is causes wildfires. The way we manage the landscapes is obviously causes wildfires. The way we manage the landscapes is obviously so the landscapes is obviously so important. In terms of what can be done more generally to prevent these fires, i dontjust mean smaller fires, i dontjust mean smaller fire breaks or whatever, but what needs to be done more generally to stop this sort of thing happening in areas where perhaps they havent been vulnerable to wildfires previously .

When we are looking at some of these ecosystems that have been changed, looking at restoration which might help manage these fires, replanting with native or well managed species, or restoring wetlands which might prevent some of these fires from spreading. But really we have also got to live with the fact these wildfires are going to become more prevalent so although there are things we can do to help reduce them, we are going to get more of them. So it is about planning around that, Fire Management plans beforehand, Planning Evacuation Routes and helping communities rebuild after fires have occurred. I rebuild after fires have occurred. I talked about areas where you wouldnt quite expect it being vulnerable now. You talk about the arctic being vulnerable to fires in your report. Arctic being vulnerable to fires in your report arctic being vulnerable to fires in our re ort. ,. , your report. Yes and we have seen some wildfires your report.

Yes and we have seen some wildfires in the arctic in some wildfires in the arctic in recent years. The problem with these places as they release a lot of carbon as well so that an excess about Climate Change which might also lead to more wildfires in the future. In the arctic in particular, the arctic is where temperatures rise much faster than the rest of the world so that is where wildfires become bigger because things can dry out there faster because of these Temperature Rises which promote wildfires.

We will talk about hawaii now, and i want to play a bit of now, and i want to play a bit of what the governor from hawaii josh green has been saying. He talked about how extreme the wind was in the situation and perhaps it is a unique set of circumstances. Lets listen to what he had to say, this is the governor. Fire travelled one mile every minute, resulting in this tragedy. With those kind of winds and i,000 degree temperatures, ultimately all the pictures that you will see will be easy to understand because that level of destruction in a Fire Hurricane is something new to us, in this age of global warming, it was the ultimate reason that so many people perished. So he said that the fire travelled at a mile a minute. So he said that the fire travelled ata mile a minute. It so he said that the fire travelled at a mile a minute.

The wind has obviously made the fire is much obviously made the fire is much worse and make them travel fast and thats part of the reason why it was so hard to plan for and why it was so hard to plan for and why it was so hard to manage. But its the dry conditions initially which got the fire is going to start with. So the winds blew the fires that were a curtain because of the extra dry conditions, so it was both together, the dry conditions and hurricane would have made this fire so devastating.

Lets turn to india where landslides and flash floods have killed at least 49 people in the Northern Indian State of himachal pradesh. Some of the deaths were in a temple destroyed in the state capital, shimla. Rescuers are trying to free those still trapped under the debris. Days of torrential downpours have washed away vehicles, demolished buildings and destroyed bridges. Local officials have warned the population to stay at home with more heavy rainfall expected. We will have more on that later in the programme is to stay with us on bbc news. To the political crisis in west africa now. The Military Group which seized power in niger last month says it plans to prosecute the ousted president Mohamed Barzoum for high treason and for undermining the security of the country. President bazoum has been held in the basement of his palace since the military staged a coup about three weeks ago toppling the democratically elected government. In a statement an Army Spokesman said the authorities had been gathering evidence against him and his Local And Foreign Accomplices. I should point out, however, that no evidence was provided. Translation in any event, the government of niger hasi to date gathered the necessary evidence to prosecute the ousted president and his Local And Foreign Accomplices before the national and International Authorities for high treason and undermining the internal and external security of niger, following his exchanges with the nationals and foreign Heads Of State and the heads of international organisations. Well, what evidence might the coup leaders have . And what should we make of their statement about Foreign Accomplices . We asked our correspondent Nkechi Ogbonna. The Army SpokespersonColonel Abdramane had said they had been gathering evidence against the deposed leader and what they claimed were his Local And Foreign Accomplices, although no evidence was provided to support these claims. But the junta says president bazoum and his accomplices could also be prosecuted for undermining the security of niger and its neighbours, including nigeria. This comes a few days after the Military Appointed Minister had said that general tchiani specifically said he was upset about how ecowas, the regional bloc, had gone about the negotiations and the sanctions imposed against them without giving them a listening ear. But he was open to negotiations and diplomatic talks with the regional bloc, also general tchiani had hinted last saturday that the coup was very intentional and it was done to stave off an imminent threat to the people of niger and its neighbours. That, as well, no evidence was provided to support this claim of an imminent threat, but we would wait to see as events unfold follwing the ecowas meeting that is happening monday to help to quell the political crisis. Also the african unions peace and Security Council are meeting monday to also look for new interventions for the crisis in niger. We willjust wait to see how all those meetings will unfold and the resolutions that would come from this. If we remember just last week ecowas had said it was having a Military Intervention. It had activated and deployed Military Intervention on niger, should all political and Diplomatic Options fail at the table. But this new action by the militaryjunta in niger could also impede whatever these negotiations may have been, or the result that they would have provided. And just to add that in niger we are Hearing Reports of over 50 people who were arrested sunday afternoon. These were anti coup protesters who were protesting for the reinstatement and release of course of president Mohamed Bazoum who is still being held by the militaryjunta in the president ial palace since he was ousted last month. The militaryjunta had earlier banned all forms of protest but had encouraged, permissions were given to those who were pro coup supporters in the different rallies and protests we have seen that have happened in the last couple of days and weeks since the coup happened. These 5a people are currently being held and we have not received any further news on what the charges would be. But we will just wait to see how events unfold in niger. In Nkechi Ogbonna reporting there. Around the world and across the uk this is bbc news. Lets look at some other stories making news. Police say two men who were stabbed in south london last night were the victims of a homophobic attack. A man in his 20s and another in his 30s were stabbed outside a nightclub in clapham. They have since been discharged from hospital. No arrests have been made. A five Year Old Girl has suffered significant facial injuries after being attacked by a dog outside a corner shop. The attack happened in norton, stockton on tees, on saturday. Cleveland police said the child was taken to hospital for treatment and a dog has been seized. The dogs owner remained at the scene after the attack. Scotlands biggest Teaching Union says new recruits are leaving the profession because they arent being offered secure jobs. The eis is urging the Scottish Government to increase councilfunding to pay for more permanentjobs. The Scottish Government says its taking strong action to protect teacher numbers. Youre live with bbc news. From Driverless Cars to sd printing Artificial Intelligence has been transforming how we live. But could ai one day be capable of reading our minds . Lara lewington has been investigating the potential risks and benefits of the Ai Revolution for the bbc� s panorama. Hi, lara. Hi, good to meet you. Thank you for having us. Come on in. Thanks very much. Neuroscientist Alexander Huth has spent a decade trying to understand how the brain works. If we want to build intelligent machines, maybe we want to make things that act more like human brains. So thats kind of what got me into neuroscience. This year, his team had a breakthrough. Using Ai Technology that can understand language, theyve built a computer that can read minds. We scan peoples brains with an fmri scanner while theyjust listen to stories. So we track how their brains respond while theyre listening to hours and hours of stories. The team has trained the al on their own brains. As they listen to stories inside the scanner, the computer watches what happens. What sort of Brain Activity are you looking for . Were looking for Brain Activity thats related to specific ideas or specific words that appear in the stories. So, for example, whenever you hear somebody talk about parking a car, there are certain patterns of activity in the brain that will be present that reliably correspond to that kind of idea. And were trying to build up that mapping from this very large dataset. The computer looks for patterns in the vast amounts of data from the scanner. With enough training, it can translate Brain Activity into words. So the lead scientist is listening to a story for us. The war of the worlds. The martians in the pit had turned the heat ray on. A deep, throbbing sound, a silver p
