most of brazil is looking fine. lots is one was it was in the pals, you'll nice but 50 degrees about right. very right though, for most of the day the weather brought to you by visit cuts on frank assessments. $3000000000.00. is it going to be enough to get back? is known as economy back on track. the short answer is no informed opinions for those who are attempting to flee to chat. how dangerous is that? the journey is incredibly difficult for many people to manage to get out. but it's a great cost in depth analysis of the days headlines, questions really, who controls that goes on an outer space in the future will be governments for won't be big part of the corporations and individuals across the billing. there's inside story on al jazeera, the
2:20 am
the welcome back. you're watching out a 0 reminder of our top stories at this hour. there's been anger and sent a gal after thousands of people from their died when they're migrant. boat capsized off the coast of cape fair de, the group of more than a 100 people are believed to have been all the way to europe. and prosecutors in the us state of georgia have proposed on march 4th and start date for the trial against former president donald trump. trump and 18 of his associates have been charged for racketeering and voter fraud for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election results and the haitian gang leader, known as barbecues valley to fight any international armed force that commits abuses. he says he supports the united nations call for a for force if it targets corrupt politicians and promote security.
2:21 am
officials and valley have named the 1st victims of the devastating wild fires that loved the town of the highest lashana. at least 107 people are confirmed dead, but that number is expected to continue to rise in the coming days. now k 9 teams from other states have arrived to help the task force search for more victims. more than a 1000 people are still missing. we're going to get the very latest from nbc correspondent, j grey. he is live for us in miami, j. talk to us a little bit about what is happening. you are at a donation and shelter center there. and now we talk to us about the response. we've had some criticism about it from some of the officials, but the public response in the interim has been norm. is that correct? as well? it's a yeah. kimberly, you're absolutely right over wyoming. yes, there's
2:22 am
a lot of frustration about how all of this on folding and how it continues to move forward. but as far as the private side of business and the non profits, they have jumped in with both feet and, and are working hard. you're right. this has been a shelter in a donation center, and for many of these families who have lost every thing, this is all they have. they lost their homes, they've lost everything they have, they've lost everything they know and the fires dealing all of that and, and simply leaving behind so much on certain the and of course that over whelming pain from loss. what i can also tell you is the main road way in to look. i know the area that was hardest hit. it's been opened up at this point though, the town itself or the story town, that ravaged by these planes is still for the most part, locked down, but at least people can get in and get a better idea though there's very little salvage at this point. recovery teams,
2:23 am
like you talked about pouring in from around, not only the states, but the world to try and help them with a den of finding uh, what are mostly unfortunately, remains at this point. already more than a 100 identified. and we still know that nearly a 1000 or so or missing, what we've been told by the governor here in hawaii is that this is going to be a very difficult and very slow process. he's urging that the people here remain calm and patient to allow this to play out is they've only been through about old 30 percent or so of the burned out areas on this island. so they've still got 70 percent to, to clear here. and one other thing, kimberly is that weather may become a factor in the next couple of days. there are 2 storms generating out at sea. neither are expected to make landfall here, but you'll remember dora was a category for or hurricane didn't make land falls, but certainly the severe winds from that storm pushed this fire and created the
2:24 am
storm of flames that gutted this island. and so we could by the we can see the right winds pick up, we are today, but they could become severe. and, and then unfortunately, the expectation from forecasters is some heavy rain and, and that will add on when the child can relate to the difficulty of those recovery teams. it's something they definitely don't need indeed. all right, j grey reporting their live for us and malley. thank you for that. all right, turning to nickel, why we're now where the government has seized a prominent university from the catholic order of fries. the jesuits, the university of central america, suspended all its activities after court order confiscated its assets and funds. the government is accusing it of being a center of terrorism, a charge rejected by the judge with a series of expulsions closures and confiscations by the daniel ortega lead.
