2:02 am
is that in j button is traveling through the disaster. so in his government, his face mounting criticism for being too slow to respond. republicans have accused by dint of not addressing the wall size until just 4 days off to the white house defended the president saying he didn't want to get in the way of 1st responders, but on is expected to meet with victims as well as fast respond this us president joe biden was speaking in the last few minutes following an operational briefing on tour of the devastation. let's have a listen to what he have to say. to my left is the bed and 3 beloved by this community for over a 150 years. here the former capital of the kingdom, hawaii that stood for generations as a sacred spot of exceptional significance. one of the people took matters when i 1st got to the center with dan in no way there's to talk about, she talked about kingdom of why he was tech came from japan,
2:03 am
but it was amazing to listen to him today is burned, but it's still standing tre, survive for a reason. i believe it's a powerful, a very powerful symbol. what we can and will do to get through this crisis, for this, for as long as it takes, we're going to be with you the whole country be with you. you know, we will be respectful of the sacred grounds and traditions that rebuild the way that people are mount a water bill, not the way others want to bill. we're gonna rebuild the way the people molly want to go. but you know, it's going to be hard. america is deadly. wildfire deadly as wildfire and over a century in june i have what's left of walked front street was left of it to survey the damage in the air as well. the devastation is overwhelming. today, a 114 dead hundreds of people on accounting for i remember when i got the call,
2:04 am
my 1st wife and daughter was a young son and i got a car wash and i had been sworn in, you know what? no, no. and i was hired staff in a capital, teddy kennedy's office and i got a phone call saying from my fire department, the young 1st responder, kind of pay, you got to come home. it's been an accident. so what happens? it says, your wife is she, she's dead, come home, come home. a tractor trailer had brought shot at her and killed her in the carts and along with my little daughter. and i remember all the way down from washington home wondering what a lot of people here wonder, what about my 2 boys? how are they? they were in the car. i never got a read on that. are they gonna be all right or badly injured? really gonna make, had they, they went till i walked in to the emergency room and i saw there, there the difference between knowing if somebody is going in wine, whether they're available to come back to different things with you as president
2:05 am
joe biden, who is traveling through the hawaiian island of maui, to witness the destruction. 2 weeks off to that devastating wall fires, we had that a from him, a to ping to the people of malware, saying that the us grieves with you and promises help for as long as it takes off the heat toward the wall. find darmesh, let's go to corresponding pets. equal hangers, lie for us in washington dc policy. that has been a lot of criticism of joe biden and how he's responded to this crisis. i mean, he's now visiting nearly 2 weeks since those 5 to place. is this an attempt for him to improve optics, and is it likely to work to well, that was the joe biden where he used to see when he comes to these sorts of emergencies. he really does take on the role of commander a baby, basically comforter in chief because of his own personal story,
2:06 am
which he just mentioned there, losing his 1st wife is very young daughter. and what he didn't mention, there's just recently his adult son to cancer. and but this is been a bit of a misstep for the president who again gets high marks from voters for his empathy for his live story. forrest compassion. so just why people are upset and it has been mostly partisan, but people are upset because the president was on vacation and he was headed to the beach and a reporter shouted out this with desktop was climbing. do you have any reaction of the climbing desk toll and he said no comment. now. whitehouse visual scrambled said look, he's been working behind the scenes. but he at but people the critics are saying, well, why aren't you not leaving vacation? he did leave his vacation to celebrate the anniversary of what he considers one of his signature largest. busy of accomplishments, he went to wisconsin to do that, but again, didn't go to hawaii now in many of these cases, presidents and rightfully so. they say they're not going to come in when this
2:07 am
situation is still very much in flux because when a president does go to a scene, it really does cause a huge disruption. aerospace is closed, his motorcade is there, secret service us to shut down a bunch of things. bunch of roads before he gets in there. so there is some justification. but it's the no comment part, which i think is really going to dot sort of dog at this president because again, it goes against what most people believe or what of his better qualities to. and petty, i wonder what you make of these comments that he made just now where he said we will rebuild the way the people of now we would like to rebuild. it's interesting that he makes these comments because again, the private sector much from the u. s. has been criticized but taking up a lot of the resources in in hawaii a exactly, and i remember the area that's hardest hit is really the ancestral home. you mentioned that there was the king of hawaii residents. and one of the big
2:08 am
complaints from residents has been there been getting phone calls from property developers asking if they would be willing to sell their land. and their reaction has been we haven't even had our 1st funeral, a 140 dead more than 800 missing. and worse hearing these horrific stories just today a family filed the remains of their 16 year. busy son who had tried to save the family dog and they both perished in the flames. and there's a lot of anger in my way, not just at president biden for his comments, but for the local response. if you think about what happened, molly is 80 sirens. that could have sounded the warning to tell people something was coming. no one, let no one put even one siren on. so they had, in many cases, very little warning if any warning. and there was a hurricane in the area edit, the winds were coming off very high. and so they were spreading so quickly with no warning. people were trapped and killed in their houses in their cars. another big
2:09 am
complaint when the firefighters tried to put out the fires, a lot of the fire hydrant were dry. and so there's a lot of concerned about that. the electric company was warned, the high winds were coming in because of that hurricane off the shore. and they didn't cut the electricity and that could have been and it started looking like that possibly was the cause of at least one of the fires. so residents there are looking around and they have a lot to be angry at. and most of that is it, local officials. but of course, when you're in the middle of the situation where you've lost everything and you've lost people, you're going to look to the federal government to really come in and help you rebuild and not seen the president for that long. probably didn't give them the reassurance we'll see if he's able to change the narrative after this visit. had to go home that 1st live in washington dc. thank you for that. between the long search for those missing and it ashes and wreckage have been down
2:10 am
houses, the hundreds of families desperately waiting for answers to me. the boy is one of them. he returned to his house looking for his missing saw. but this is his story. so i am from the law who i haven't heard from my father since the flyers expired. so you haven't been able to locate him. so once we heard that the rules were open, we decided to flight on this weekend. so i came down with myself and i met up with my sister. and so we were putting up flyers from my father's to so long to our home in line. i'm just my dad and his dog and a lot of 3 kids my mom has passed away uh a little bit earlier this year. just so we don't know if he might have left early or ran into another area that were in was bad or so. and they might have diverted in back to me might have been going on. and so if it's been kinda weird
2:11 am
because you kind of think, well he's, he's flag because he left early now. but then you get this. all this started with people are saying that all the people that were being diverted back and these are the circle and it's been kind of where, you know, year and you have home. and then, you know, this kind of tempered to be able to tell you something like that. the process i went through was just to get a sample. so that if the come across the remains of my father's death, you'll be confirmed. who might be an example. the judge in the us state of georgia has sets a bale of $200000.00 for donald trump. the bone for the former president is related to the powerful racketeering charges he and 18. all those are accused of criminal
2:12 am
lee conspiring to overtime. the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state of georgia. trump has until friday to surrender to georgia state court of specials. let stokes. he wasn't in jordan, who is in atlanta, georgia for us. rosalind, what do you make 1st day of this 200000 and phone that's been published and presumably the sum of money is, is not something he's going to blink about. but they all conditions attached to the bond that might boulder in president is facing, has been assessed a nominal value in essence to compel his presence before a local county judge. but larger than that, are the conditions attached to this bond agreement, which was negotiated between the local district attorney funding willis as his local attorneys. here in atlanta. these agreements, which a local judge has signed off on, basically tell donald trump that he can't say anything either in person or through
2:13 am
social media directly or indirectly to anyone who might possibly be a witness. in this case, he cannot do anything that could be construed by the court as witness intimidation . and that is quite significant because the president, the former president, i should say, and his lawyers and his supporters have been arguing that from the very beginning this has been a 1st amendment case that the former president had the right to question the outcome of the boat here in georgia, as well as in several other states across the country and that you had a 1st with them. it like to speak out. however, there's been a lot of concerns, not just from the district attorney, but from other uh, prosecutors in other cases facing the former president that he has been using his very public platform to try to show the voices of those who might present evidence
2:14 am
against them in this case, and so the question is going to be it, and when there is a violation, how will the local judge handle it? whether there will be any appeals, whether or other courts might be drawn into something that many would say would guard against the integrity of the case. especially considering that the president, former president and his co indicted conspirators, had been accused of flooding to try to overthrow the outcome of the vote here in the state of georgia after the 2000 election. and wilson trump has until friday to surrender to georgia state court officials. uh, the rumor is that he will, he will go to georgia on says day which is interesting that he would pick says day because of the day off to the, the primary republican debate, which he's announced he will not be attending of the. well,
2:15 am
there have been rumors going around in the last couple of days suggesting that, especially after donald trump said he would not take part in that 1st debate involving republican hopefuls for the republican presidential nomination. that once he said that he wasn't going to go, because his poll numbers were too strong and he really didn't need to defend his record during his one term in the office. that he was doing this in assets to bring the attention back to himself and to basically drown out any public attention that might be focused on the doesn't or so other people who have already said that they are running for the republican nomination. there had been reports that perhaps he would try to turn himself in as early as wednesday, even though the deadline to turn himself into the fulton county jail. isn't until friday at noon local time. now there are uh, some reports suggesting that this could happen on thursday. again,
2:16 am
if you look at it from a purely a communications management perspective, it basically eliminates all the news coverage of what will be happening in with milwaukee wisconscin on wednesday evening. and everything will be focused on what the former president is doing here. of course, this is a matter now of local officials confirming when this is going to happen because as is the case with any former president, not to mention as the current president, there will be intense security involved in test secret service. so it's involved. but because all former presidents do get secret service protection for the rest of their lives and given the notoriety of this case, they are not going to want to see anything go wrong. thank you for that. rather than joining live in atlanta, georgia, the people in ecuador have voted against drilling for oil in a protected pos of the amazon, and time to tribes have chosen to live in isolation. it's also one of the wells
2:17 am
most diverse devices with hundreds of species. but reptiles and fish. a referendum on the issue was held long, signed sundays. presidential elections, 60 percent voted yes. discount, controlling it is a blow to the outgoing present game will last. so who thinks oil drilling is crucial to the economy? you know, who's the pool? the popular consultation showed the majority one. and now we want to stay beyond the last. there is the feeling of the people. they have to respect. we do not want mining of any scale or in any of its phases in the reserve of a joke. o, and do you know, this is a historic struggle and a historic try and not only for the metropolitan district of quito, the most densely populated city of ecuador, the capital of ecuador. and this is a historic struggle for the world. it is a historic struggle for latin america from cape there out is there is less than american edison as a name and explains the significance of this outcome. less than 2 weeks ago. that
2:18 am
all the heads of state from the a. m. a zone in countries of south america had met in berlin, brazil, and they had been pressured to make a decision to do at least try to commit to stopping oil drilling in the amazon in region. and they wouldn't, with the exception of columbia, who's president said that he did favor that, but the president of ecuador didn't even attend the summit. and so what's, what we've seen here is that the people themselves have taken charge of this issue and not just the people who live in the amazon in region clearly, but the whole country, which does see the value of preserving nature, the bio diversity of the amazon region, the culture of the people who live in it. so it is a major milestone decision. the regional and international leaders have hail v landslide victory of panada out of hello in guatemala. as presidential ronald, he won 50 percent of the vice one, his rival, the format fest, lady sondra torres came 2nd with 36 percent. revenue said his victory is
2:19 am
a win for democracy. manual report reports from guatemala city to it's largely business, as usual here in the guatemalan capital. following that landslide victory from center left candidate bid them out of the idea of a low and sundays national election. here in guatemala, i want to show you some headlines from the local papers here. this 1st one reads idea of a little mix. history will govern guatemala, just as his father did. between 19451951. for many people that don't realize this at a low is actually the son of water mile is 1st democratically elected president. despite this fact, he's largely seen here in guatemala as a political outside. or we see this sort of the dark horse, especially the lead up to that 1st round of voting back in june to become the front runner. and this run off election that took place on, on sunday evening for many political analysts here in constitutional listen and experts. and he's a variable that was seen largely as an international, as
2:20 am
a centrist, even, which makes them kind of a unique leader in the broader scope of latin american politics. again, the mood here is quite good. there was a press conference on monday from guatemala, is the supreme electoral tribunal who reported that there were no significant anomalies or regularities in the voting process. there was a little bit of cautious optimism given that guatemala is seen as one of the most corrupt countries in latin america. and that there could be elements of, of that corruption that could be seeking to undermine uh, the idea of a little government. on the, on the one hand, we should note that the opponents of that i thought i would have party has yet to accept the results of sundays vote. and then there's also some more concerning topic. on the other hand, which is the office of guatemala, as attorney general, who still has a case pending against the same media party seeking to remove the bellows parties, legal status. so a lot of questions fill in answered there. there's,
2:21 am
we're still waiting for the official certification of sunday's election. so in the coming days there could still be a few surprises. you have to be seen by the elders here. i've got them all city. it has all now and is there, is there any forces? open fi on how to send in protest as in gaza. raleigh, near the border fence. i'm turning off f. it's in southern california odds tropical storm. hillary alicia's record rang for the brought to you by visit cut a lot of ground to cover in this one. let's go, here's your headlines for the americas, running the risk of seeing some flooding in santiago over the next little bit. some forecast model is there showing about half a year's worth of rain in 72 hours. winds have turned around and that's really
2:22 am
pumped up the temperature and assaults the on to $36.00. that's a good 10 above where you should be for this year. and we do have thunderstorms coming into the picture of the southeast corner of brazil, dallas with rain for the pacific coast of columbia that also pours into panama. and we are keeping tabs on tropical storm franklin in the caribbean. as it tracks towards his span, you'll have for the capital hades, capital port of prince could see a months worth of rain in a short period of time. that is likely to trigger some flooding. we'll get all this rain running into the southern coast of texas ne mexico. that's also likely to produce some flooding. and hillary has injected a lot of moisture into the us the desert southwest, but also for oregon and montana state. but that's what the weather will move into canada. that's good news for the wildfire burning in colona, we are likely to see some rain here and the winds have also turned around for canada. as ontario providence, that means that the temperature in toronto is down to 22 degrees on tuesday. and
2:23 am
now you're in the know the quote to you by visit cuts on the of the the, [000:00:00;00] the,
2:24 am
[000:00:00;00] the welcome back here watching out. is there a reminder our top story is, is now us president joe biden has arrived in the devastated hawaiian islands as my way maybe 2 weeks as a deadly, a small spot in history. he's been criticized by republicans because he did not address 5 until 4 days. often they erupted and we'll meet victims. i'm 1st responders, a judge in the us state of georgia, is that bail of $200000.00 for, for president donald trump. he and 18 all those accused of criminally conspiring to attend the results of the 2020 presidential election in trump has until friday to surrender to georgia state court. and especially people in ecuador have voted against drilling for oil in a protective parts of the amazon,
2:25 am
nearly 60 percent of age has supported the ban on training in yes, you need national talk. the group is rarely settlers have attacked palestinians. austin is right, a woman was shot dead. the shooting happened near the city of hebron in the occupied westbank, shortly media, se a palestinian suspect, open fi out of passing vehicle. another person was injured in the attack. most women to him in a feeling. so you move, taking measures and we'll take additional measures, both defensive, inoffensive, want to make the motors pay, and to make those who sent them pay him. i miss on may the ever haven't, has more from ramallah in the occupied westbank. the samsung has been running high and however on south of the occupied west bank, where a palestinian is believe to have salt and is really car leading to the killing of a 14 year old is really subtler and the injury of a 40 year old man who is set to be in a serious condition. following that,
2:26 am
shooting at sac is where the forces have blue k, the old entrances leading to hyper on. so you can imagine how many people are not going to be able to go back to their homes because of the chuck points, because of that is fiction imposed by these really forces. now not only that is really so we'll just have read the different cities in, in the round hebron trying to look for the purpose rates are we believe that they are still carrying out the man hunt? we've seen them using helicopter as raping homes, trying to find them. now let's not forget that this happens less than 48 hours from another shooting attack that took place on saturday in for what a with to is it really sucked. those have been killed both, but for 3 stairs are believe to have been it on the lose still, they haven't been captured by the is really a 40. so this also meant more reinforcements in the north of the occupied to us bank with is really forces every the different villages sounds and city is close to
2:27 am
for water with the incident took place now with heating from medical sources about injuries by life and munitions during it due to the confrontations that took place between the palestinians. and these really forces it remains to be a tense situation. here the occupied westbank knew that, but he just need to come on the and meanwhile in gaza at least 8 palestinians, including a john list have been engine officers writing forces. open fire on protests is along the border. thousands with that to month fee, 54 percent of us rate for an attempt to buy a jewish hotline to burn down. i'll accept most scenarios of southern california digging out from the month and debris on to reco assessing rain from tropical storm hillary. while the remnants of what was a hurricane in the pacific didn't live up to the warnings of catastrophic flooding, it has left a mess,
2:28 am
close roads and damaged infrastructure. some low lying areas were flooded by about to me to the boys and swamped freeways and birds cool was dozens of car accidents for moving nose to california. hillary flooded roads and highways in mexico, leaving matress stranded flash floods in the east and coastline of the fall into california peninsula swept away. one call kenning its drive. this a british nurse has been sentenced to spend the rest of her life in prison for measuring 7 babies in her cab leasing that they was also found guilty of attempting to mount a 6 office at the near nasal hospital where she worked. sonia gabriel as a story from london. lucy, this is the day police officers came to the door of lucy, let these house and the rest to to an us whose the seat around so deep that it hid a murderous intent on the surface. the details of her life seemed been uh
2:29 am
enough. it allowed her to operate under the radar to kill. this was a true calculated cynical campaign of child murder involving the smallest and most vulnerable of children. knowing that your actions were pausing significant physical suffering and would cause untold mental suffering well let to be shown, the sentence, hearing relatives of the victim sent earlier, they recounted the details of the anguish of, of what happened in that neo natal unit with the nurse had carried out her pre meditated attacks. one love to describe, let these absence from court as one final act of wickedness from a couch. have only been 3 other women who have been sentenced to a whole life or death. now lucy, lexi joined scot, list of women were deemed so dangerous that they could never been considered for
