have been killed on the than people have been killed on the island valley. joe biden�*s son hunter is to be investigated with digital powers. a norwegian mountaineer denies accusations that her team climbed over an injured guide during a bid to break a world record. let's return to our top story. at least 55 people are now known to have been killed by wildfires in hawaii, with thousands more still unaccounted for. hawaii is no stranger to wildfires, but those of the past few days are being called some of the worst in its history. the bbc�*s azadeh moshiri explains what's causing them. wildfires used to be uncommon in hawaii. they were largely caused by lightning strikes or volcanic eruptions. but in recent decades, human activity has made the more common and extreme. we don't know what caused these wildfires. we do

know that there are several factors that have played a role. when we talk about wildfires, we tended to talk about wildfires, we tended to talk about wildfires, we tended to talk about three ingredients. we do know when it comes to whether, in hawaii, strong women's have fans the flames. —— strong winds. it's red area represents severe drought in the structure and the orange area's moderate drought. they represent 14% of the state. these larger yellow areas are abnormally dry conditions. this sucks the moisture out of vegetation, which means in turn, these areas are more likely to catch fire. on top of all of this, scientists have recorded 90% less rainfall than a century ago. when you talk about a spark in fuel, scientists have also said that some parts of hawaii have grasses that

are not native to the state and are far more flammable than some of the native plants they are. couple that with those dry conditions, and it means those area are more likely to catch fire and spread. hawaii's governors that the state is struggling with the impact of climate change and he said... and it's true that climate change does increase the risk of wildfire. it drives up temperatures and makes heat waves last longer and makes them more intense. as we're seeing here, dryervegetation, harder temperatures means if a fire is ignited. —— it's harder to stop. let's move onto another very important story. the us attorney general has announced thatjoe biden�*s son hunter is to be investigated by a special counsel with additional powers. merrick garland appointed delaware us attorney david weiss, the federal prosecutor who recently investigated hunter biden on tax and gun charges in a case

that remains open. he was given additional authority to investigate whether hunter biden engaged in improper business dealings overseas. the special counsel will not be subject to day—to—day supervision of any official of the department. you must comply with regulations, procedures and policies of the department. consistent with the special counsel of regulations, the conclusion, mrweiss special counsel of regulations, the conclusion, mr weiss will provide the declaration decisions reached by him. as we eat the special counsel, —— as with each, we are making his report as public as possible. today's announcement affords the prosecutor �*s, agents and analysts working on this matter the ability to proceed with their work expeditiously and to make decisions

indisputably guided only by the facts and law. the men and women undertaking this medication are public servants who have dedicated their careers to protecting the citizens of this country. the appointment of mr weiss reinforces the department's commitment to both independence and accountability, and particularly sensitive matters. north america correspondent nomia iqbal has more on the story from washington. the hunter biden saga is probably quite confusing in terms of where we are. hunter biden is in the central of a political storm, we've never seen a offspring of a president go through. i want to remind people, he is a lobbyist, lawyer, consultant.

in his personal life, he has struggled with drug addiction, with alcohol addiction. for the republicans, however, he's been a huge target for some time now. they have accused him of corruption in his business dealings, particularly in ukraine and china, and they think that this somehow implicates president biden and they targeted hunter biden whilst mr biden, his father, was on the campaign trail. donald trump appointed david weiss, the man you heard the attorney general mention there. when trump was president, he appointed weiss to look into hunter biden, and when president biden became president he didn't stand in the way, so he allowed that investigation to continue. and basically, last month, we saw sort of a kind of a part conclusion of that investigation that hunter biden appeared in court, and it was because david weiss had looked into him and they got him on these charges over evading tax

and unlawfully owning a gun. he was going to enter a plea deal, but that fell apart. and now we're at this stage, where this special counsel, which is david weiss, has been approved, basically. it gives mr weiss more powers, more authority to continue his investigation into president biden�*s son. it's worth mentioning that the white house never comments on this, all they ever say is that the president and his wife want their son to continue rebuilding his life,. president biden asked about it a lot and he dismisses any wrongdoing in him providing himself denies all these charges. we are at a stage where there is a special counsel thatis where there is a special counsel that is going to investigate hunter biden, and you can expect to see the republican party really continuing to bring this up, since it's been a you'd focus for them as we head towards the election —— a huge

focus. a well—known norwegian mountaineer has denied accusations that her team climbed over an injured guide during a bid to break a world record. the porter, believed to be mohammed hassan, fell off a [edge on pakistan's k2 — the world's second—highest mountain. video posted on social media appeared to show a group climbing over mr hassan, who reportedly died a few hours later. the mountaineer kristin harila says her team stayed with him after he fell and give him oxygen and hot water until "an avalanche went off around the corner". she said she understood more help was coming and decided to move forward to avoid overcrowding. how dangerous are these times and what's involved in getting to the top of these peaks? joining me now is alan hinkes, the first briton to climb all iii of the world's highest mountains. it took him three attempts to summit k2 before finally reaching the top. tell us more. inaudible

james waterhouse, told us about the background to today's announcement. this is quite the plant down. in an announcement that few protected, 33 recruitment heads from every ukrainian province have been fired. the allegations president zelensky makes are quite serious. he accuses them of accepting bribes through either cash or cryptocurrency and exchanged help men who have been mobilised across the border. there is a bit of history here, a bit of tension between these recruitment centres within the military itself, we spoke to those involved, who say they feel like they are doing the dirty work. they say the whole process needs modernisation. they say that his unpopular decision with the government. now there are

allegations from president zelensky. it seems the government might be engaging on these issues, but we've heard allegations of heavy—handed tactics being used where men have been physically smuggled to recruitment centres. this is a delicate issue as well because, yes, there are sizeable portions of the population were motivated to fight. they have either volunteered or they have become professional soldiers. but the issue of mobilisation is a tricky one because there are those who don't want to fight, who have tried to avoid the draught, and there is a conflict between the state and its population in some areas. it's notjust about soldiers getting called up to replace those who have been killed. it's also about ukraine replacing those who have been fighting on the front line in unimaginable conditions for several months now. the white house has welcomed the release of five american citizens from jail in iran.

the five have been transferred to house arrest, ahead of their full release, under a deal struck between tehran and washington. the group — who also have iranian passports — include siamak namazi, a businessman arrested in october 2015. he was accused of spying. environmentalist morad tahbaz, who also has british nationality, was arrested in january 2018 and sentenced to 10 years for alleged "conspiring with america." the five had been held in tehran's evin prison, though the us says they were all wrongfully detained. the us secretary of state, anthony blinken, didn't go into specifics about the deal — but here's some of what he had to say. this is a positive step, but i don't want to get ahead of its conclusion because there is more work to be done to actually bring them home. my belief is this is the beginning of the end of their nightmare, and the nightmare their families have experienced. in any event, any respect, iran will not be

receiving any sanctions relief, and in any instance where we would engage in such efforts to bring americans home from iran, iran's own funds would be used. and transferred to restricted accounts such that the money can only be used for humanitarian purposes which, as you know, is permitted under our sanctions. some republicans have criticised president biden over the deal, accusing him of appeasement and warning it'lljust embolden tehran to take more hostages. speaking to the bbc, the former us national security advisorjohn bolton gave his response to the idea that the money would only be used for humanitarian purposes. that's a preposterous statement. number one, money is fungible. so to say, well, it will only be applied for humanitarian goods, let's say inside iran, frees the iranian government's that's a preposterous statement. number one, money is fungible. so to say, well, it will only be applied for humanitarian goods,

let's say inside iran, frees the iranian government's responsibility to do that which it is, to spend $5 billion on their nuclear programme. here in the uk, the mayor of the west midlands has said he wants to see the crooked house pub near dudley — an 18th century building called britain's wonkiest pub — rebuilt. an arson investigation is under way after a fire at the pub was followed by its ruins being demolished. our midlands correspondent phil mackie reports. a week ago, the much—loved black country landmark was still standing, just as it had for 250 years. subsidence had left it in its famously wonky state. the brewers marston's sold it two weeks ago, and the pub was closed. it's believed the new owners wanted to change its use. then, last saturday night, it caught fire. police say it was arson. the road to it had been blocked, and over the next 24 hours, firefighters struggled to access the site. the inside was gutted, but the external walls survived,

and it was hoped the crooked house could be saved. then, on monday, diggers were seen demolishing what was left. the council said this was contrary to its instructions. since then, thousands of people have visited the site to express their anger. james stephens runs a nearby pub, and says the loss of the crooked house has struck a nerve. people have been gathering in my pub for the past week, really to talk about it, and we feel like we've lost our dudley castle. it was really that important to us. and you could make the argument it was underused — yes, it was underused. didn't deserve to be stolen from underneath us, though. at ground level, you can see the damage caused by the fire and then the demolition of the building. this is the rubble that is all that remains of the crooked house. but you have to go up quite high to get a sense of the isolation and remoteness of the location. you can also see the landfill site that surrounds it, and that's been part

of this week's controversy. the company which bought the pub, ate farms limited, is controlled by carly taylor. her husband adam was a director of the company which owns the landfill. the bbc has confirmed it hired diggers which were delivered before the fire and used to demolish the pub. ate hasn't commented. the events of the past week have led to an outcry. this should not have happened. no permission for demolition was given, and therefore, my reaction to this is, reaction to this is, this is the wrong pub, with the wrong authority, the wrong community at the wrong time. so we will investigate what has happened and then hopefully get the rebuilding done. he went on to reiterate his desire to see the pub rebuilt. they've asked people to stop removing bricks as souvenirs, and those who have to return them. this week, there's been a palpable sense of anger and loss, tempered by some black country black humour. phil mackie, bbc news, himley. here, police in surrey, who've launched a murder investigation into the death of a 10 year girl, say that three people —

who they want to speak to — left the country on wednesday. alison earle reports from woking, where the child lived. all day people have been coming here, many of them leaving flowers and saying how shocked they are that something like this has happened in such a quiet area. many of them with questions, as there aren't really that many details that have emerged. what we do know is the police arrived here in the early hours of thursday morning following what's described as "a concern for safety". once inside the property, they found the body of a ten—year—old girl. now detectives are working hard to build a picture of what happened and said they have identified three people that they would like to speak speak to, but believe they left the country they left the country on wednesday and are now working with international authorities to try and locate them. while no arrests have been made, police don't believe there is a wider risk to the public. however, they are appealing to anyone with information to come forward as they work out how and why this young life was cut short.

the outlook for the uk economy may be brightening after figures showed a growth of 0.2% between april and june, which is slightly more than analysts were expecting. it's thoughtjune's warm weather encouraged more people to go to pubs and restaurants, and there was increased activity in manufacturing. the prime minister rishi sunak said the figures showed the government's plan for the economy was starting to work. but labour responded that growth is still on the floor. our economics correspondent dharshini david reports. another beep, another pair of leggings sold in a boost to the health of the nation over the spring. health of the nation over the s-irin. �* , , health of the nation over the s-irin. �*, , ., , health of the nation over the s-irin. fl , ., , spring. it's been really good. reau spring. it's been really good. really grateful _ spring. it's been really good. really grateful we _ spring. it's been really good. really grateful we had i spring. it's been really good. really grateful we had a i spring. it's been really good. | really grateful we had a good spring. it's been really good. i really grateful we had a good start to the year. with our business, with what we do, we are a little bit slower. it will pick up for queue three and four. i thought no doubt about that. e three and four. i thought no doubt about that. �* ,, ., three and four. i thought no doubt about that-— about that.

but quite a few showers around as well, brought by this area of low pressure just to the north—west of us right now. and this is how it's going to barrel across the uk during the course of the weekend, and the closer you are to the centre of this low pressure, the more frequent the showers will be. so, through the course of this evening and overnight, showers, quite frequent ones spreading into northern ireland by the morning, western scotland, perhaps the irish sea, wales, maybe the south, too, whereas many central and eastern parts of the uk should wake up to a bright, if not sunny, weather saturday morning with temperatures around 15—16 degrees. so a pleasant start to the day. and here's saturday itself — quite brisk winds around western coasts with these atlantic winds and a mixture of sunshine and showers. some of them could be heavy, could be a crack of thunder, most lengthy spells of sunshine, i think, in the south. and this pattern will continue into sunday as well. so, again, the closer are to the centre of the low, the more frequent the showers will be and generally out

towards the west, too. so london, norwich, hull probably faring best with fine weather, some spots could actually get away with a completely dry weekend. now, let's have a look at monday. the low pressure's still with us, but it is fizzling away. still have a weather front here, so that does mean that across east anglia and the southeast for a time on monday, it could be in the morning or lasting into the afternoon. difficult to say, but some cloud and rain certainly in the forecast. showers could break out also across scotland, but many areas towards the west actually fine weather to start the week. now, let's talk about the jet stream. it's still over us. it's been over us more or less all summer and at leastjuly into august. so this is where it will roughly be through the week, deflecting any heat coming our way from the south eastwards. but it could come close to the south later next week, so temperatures could rise. in fact, there is a hint — if you keep checking the apps, you'll notice that as you go beyond wednesday, thursday into friday, the temperatures keep rising and the weather turns a little bit drier and brighter. bye— bye.
