newsom welcome to newsday. the headlines. presidentjoe biden is in male weed to witness first—hand the devastation caused by the recent wildfires on the hawaiian islands. —— is in maui. storm hilary now moves north from california as more americans trace for extreme weather. and thailand's divisive billionaire former leader thaksin shinawatra is due to return hours before a deadlocked parliament votes for a new prime minister.

thank you for being with us. we begin in hawaii where us presidentjoe biden has been witnessing for himself the destruction caused by a wildfire on the island of maui. here is the president and first lady meeting locals and officials. the recent fires on the island killed at least 114 people and a staggering 800 people and a staggering 800 people are still missing. a short while ago, the president gave this update. we short while ago, the president gave this update.— gave this update. we are focused _ gave this update. we are focused on _ gave this update. we are focused on what's - gave this update. we are focused on what's next, | focused on what's next, rebuilding for the long—term. and doing it together to help get us back on our feet, to rebuild the way we want to rebuild. by making sure your voices are heard, by respecting

heard at least some response, and perhaps a defence of the federal government actions certainly from the president. joe biden also doing there what presidents do in terms of consoling people, turning up not immediately but leaving a gap for the emergency services really to get on with the immediate needs of people after a disaster. a presidential visit always involves a lot of people and a lot of disruption and security, so he has left a certain amount of time, often described as the console in chief, which is exactly what president biden is doing now, and doing it as he always does it, ringing himself to the situation, talking about his experience of losing his wife and daughter in a car accident. describing that hollow feeling, as he said. when you simply don't know whether your loved ones are alive or dead. this is the kind of empathy that you would think local people would want to hear, that a president

understands their needs and the level of despair that they have been going through in recent days. been going through in recent da s. ,, days. staying in the united states, tropical _ days. staying in the united states, tropical storm - days. staying in the united l states, tropical storm hillary has brought record—breaking flooding and rainfall in california. it has now been downgraded to a post—tropical cyclone and its heading north. the latest pictures from cathedral city just outside palm springs. you can see the devastation, with many cars being abandoned as the floodwaters recede. and it's notjust abandon cards. just floodwaters recede. and it's not just abandon cards. just a few hours ago when these pictures came into us, at least two people were stuck in the mud in an r v, calling for help. as you can see, they are isolated in the outskirts of cathedral city. in palm springs, the california

governor gavin newsom said the city received more rain in a single hour than ever before. in a town near los angeles, some people watched floodwaters inching closer to their home before making their decision to leave. mil before making their decision to leave. �* . , . leave. all that started within an hour or — leave. all that started within an hour or two _ leave. all that started within an hour or two and _ leave. all that started within an hour or two and it - leave. all that started within an hour or two and it kept i an hour or two and it kept piling up and the water keeps coming further back up the street, and more and more. lives can't be replaced, material objects can. it is better to replace what i can get fixed, rather than risk drowning something that is avoidable. the california governor gavin newsom declared a state of emergency. he gave this update on the many problems now being tackled by the state's emergency services. tackled by the state's emeruen services. , ., emergency services. there is an old ancient _ emergency services. there is an old ancient curse _ emergency services. there is an old ancient curse that _ emergency services. there is an old ancient curse that loosely i old ancient curse that loosely translates as, you live in interesting times. certainly interesting times. certainly interesting times! tornadoes, lightning strikes, worried

as canadians are seeing in the horrific images they see of devastation and fear of residents in the northwest territories and bc, it is an extraordinarily surreal situation. the federal government is continuing to step up with canadian armed forces resources, we are active in coordinating with regional and local governments to make sure people are safe, make sure we are doing everything to protect lives and property. for the third time in three months, thailand's parliament will aim to resolve a political deadlock and vote for a new prime minister. the pheu thai party, which is looking to form an 11—party alliance, has nominated property mogul

setta thavisin as its candidate for prime minister. in the general election in mid—may, pita's move forward party secured the highest number of votes, but they failed to form a government after being blocked by the military. as a result, a new parliamentary vote is taking place, coinciding with the reported return of former thai prime minister thaksin shinawatra who is expected to arrive back shortly. despite his absence from the country, he retained significant influence in thai politics through supporters and affiliated parties. we canjoin our we can join our correspondent at the airport. the rumour about shinawatra's return, what do we know about it, and if true, why now?— do we know about it, and if true, why now? it's obvious the --eole true, why now? it's obvious the people behind _ true, why now? it's obvious the people behind me _ true, why now? it's obvious the people behind me believe - true, why now? it's obvious the people behind me believe he i true, why now? it's obvious the people behind me believe he is| people behind me believe he is coming back. quite a large crowd. despite being out of the country for 15 years, thaksin shinawatra still provokes very strong loyalties, particularly

in the poorer north—east, the electoral bastion of his party. these people have told rte as the best prime minister they ever had, that life was great under him. —— have told us he was the best prime minister they ever had. his policy genuinely did improve people's lives before he was ousted in a coup in 2006. we are not sure exactly what the guarantee is he comes back but i think it's very likely. he has clearly made a decision it's time to come back. we believe there is probably some kind of arrangement that he doesn't go to prison. he has a number of jail sentences outstanding, convictions he always said were politically motivated, that's why he stayed in exile. when he arrives at the airport, i think he will be whisked straight to the supreme court and may have to spend a night or two in custody. but his hope is he will be allowed to go home under some kind of conditions and spend time with a family he's not been able to be with

for so long. he remains politically important, his party is likely to be at the core of the next government, which we expect at the end of today. because he is so divisive, the fact he is coming back suggests that maybe thailand is ready to close the chapter of the last 20 years. this tremendous polarisation between his supporters and the ultraconservative loyalists. politics is shifting in thailand and he feels this is the moment he can finally come home. —— loyalist label. it coincides with vote in three months to decide on a new prime minister. can you explain why the deadlock and whether or not the country will have a new prime minister later today?— later today? not simple to exlain! later today? not simple to explain! it's _ later today? not simple to explain! it's actually i later today? not simple to explain! it's actually the i explain! it's actually the second vote. as you referred to earlier, the reformist party move forward which got the most

seats in the election and expected to form an alliance in alliance with shinawatra's party, it was blocked by the senate. this is the second attempt. to get past the threshold of the conservative senators, shinawatra's party has had to partner up with some sworn enemies, people who have said the most strongly critical things about thaksin and his party in the past. if they do because a government together, it will cause sore feelings among reformers who wanted a progressive government. it might also symbolise that the party which has been the symbol of antimilitary pro electoral politic movements for so long is now ready to join other parties in a more transactional politics, and that the mantle of reform and change parties to

0ur diplomatic correspondent paul adams has been talking to migrants who say they've experienced horrendous treatment at the border. mustafa is full of regrets. it's been more than a year since he lost his left leg on yemen's northern border. rehabilitation has been a long, hard road. he's still haunted by what happened the night he tried to enter saudi arabia. transation: we got shot at while we were walking. | immediately we all lie down on the ground. for about five minutes, i didn't even realise i was shot. but when i tried to get up and walk, part of my leg wasn't there. the shooting went on and on and on. yemen's rugged, remote mountains. huge numbers of people on the move, fleeing poverty and war at home, seeking opportunity in neighbouring saudi arabia.

some of the migrants filmed their own epic, dangerousjourneys. and among the videos shared on social media, evidence of death and trauma. bodies lying in a rocky riverbed, a hasty burial high on the mountainside. and now a shocking allegation that saudi arabian soldiers are killing hundreds of migrants. since 2014, human rights watch has been documenting occasional and infrequent killings at the border by saudi border guards. that's bad enough as it is. but really, i'd say in the last couple of years, we've seen an escalation that has changed occasional killings into widespread and systematic mass killings that may amount to a crime against humanity. the report from human rights watch is full of detail. migrant routes mapped out, specific

border guard posts established, pictures of casualties from the migrants themselves geolocated. we've contacted several ethiopians who said they saw killings at the border. ibsa, who didn't want us to use his real name, is still in yemen. translation: we were shot. and beaten at the saudi border, and those who shot us were saudi men. they wore saudi arabia's military uniform. they beat us, killed some, and took those who survived to hospital. the bodies of those killed were left scattered on the ground. and it's still happening. more and more ethiopians laid to rest on foreign soil. 24—year—old abaga was buried in the northern city of saada two weeks ago. local ethiopian sources told us he'd been shot and wounded at the border. mustafa says it's wrong

to dwell on the past, but he wishes he hadn't left home, hadn't tried to improve his life. even if he could now fly to saudi arabia, he says he wouldn't do it. paul adams, bbc news. this is bbc news. bright colours, music and plenty of laughter. today is a special day signifying the harvest. ~ , ., , ., harvest. we plant yams and around this _ harvest. we plant yams and around this period, - harvest. we plant yams and around this period, this i harvest. we plant yams and around this period, this is i harvest. we plant yams and around this period, this is a| around this period, this is a ceremony we used to celebrate a harvest of every other crop. yams play a central role in the cultural celebrations. it’s cultural celebrations. it's like a main _ cultural celebrations. it's like a main meal- cultural celebrations. it's like a main meal in i cultural celebrations. it�*s like a main meal in nigeria.

the uk, but in the case of this 33—year—old nurse who murdered seven babies in her care and attempted to murder six more at the countess of chester hospital, thejudge the countess of chester hospital, the judge said that was the only sentence is appropriate because of the severity of the crimes. this was a nurse who was looking after the sickest and most premature babies, who presented on the outside a vision or somebody compassionate and caring, medically qualified, somebody helping those parents through the most difficult moments of their lives, and who we now know was murdering and attempting to murder the babies in her care. it is a case that has shocked the uk, and the fact this whole life sentence has been handed down really shows the severity of this case. thejudge shows the severity of this case. the judge talked about malevolence bordering on sadism. he talked about the premeditated nature of these crimes. the way lucy letby had tried to cover up what she did. there have only been very few criminals who have been given

these horror life sentences and been told they will never be released from prison. but in the case of lucy letby, who the judge said had shown no remorse for what she did, that was an appropriate sentence for her to be given. she is now the most prolific killer of babies and children in modern british history. and this is not a case which is over, because the investigation into her crimes is now widening to take in the whole of her nursing career. the trial at manchester crown court only looked at a one—year period of lucy letby�*s time as a nurse, but now police officers are continuing investigations, looking at the deaths of more babies in different hospitals she worked at. they promised that they will continue that investigative work until the whole of lucy letby�*s career has been looked at and investigated to see if she has been responsible for committing any further crimes.—

blood pressure, ecgs. but these just give you a snapshot and can vary from day to day, month to month. but this new a! technique is different. it can give you an accumulated total of all the bumps and scrapes your heart has had through lack of exercise, poor diet, smoking and drinking. let's see how i get on. the first step is to have an mri scan after some gentle exercise. machine: breathe out and hold your breath. | the scientists record pictures of my beating heart and the a! system analyses it. i'm 61, but how old is my heart? it says that your heart age is 63. oh, well, that's a bit older than i actually am. so how does that figure? what should i do? exercising enough, watching your weight, smoking and so on. and, of course, we're interested in looking at treatments that might slow down ageing or might reduce the effects of ageing. and these sorts of scans can quantify that and see how

effective those treatments might be in the future. and here's the next step. 256 sensors are creating what is, in effect, a digital copy of this volunteer�*s heart. you can see how the electrical activity is flowing through it. these digital experiments will transform the way we conduct health care. it will be possible for scientists to use these resources to test the impact of drugs, new cardiac devices, lifestyle interventions, and importantly to predict each individual�*s personalised risk. heart research is now in the digital world, with al and machine learning techniques already developing the next generation of treatments to keep us healthier for longer. pallab ghosh, bbc news. the spanish team has arrived back home from australia after being crowned world champions.

programme, thank you so much for watching. hello there. we saw plenty of sunshine and some warmth around on monday across england and wales. top temperatures around 26 celsius across the south east of england. over the next few days, the weather's looking pretty similar. most of the showers will be in the north and the west. further south and east that you are it will be warmer with more in the way of sunshine closer to this area of high pressure, which is bringing heatwave conditions to the near continent, particularly france, spain, into parts of italy. low pressure sitting to the north of the uk will bring stronger winds, more showers across northern and western areas, and that's how it's looking for tuesday. we start off again with some low cloud, mist and murk. the sunshine will come out in abundance through central southern areas, and then become confined to southern england through the day. more cloud, i think, elsewhere. northern england, wales into scotland, northern ireland, most of the showers will be in the northwest corner where it'll be quite breezy.

high teens here, low 20s for aberdeen, and we'll see those temperatures range from 23 to 26 degrees again, england and wales. as we head through tuesday night, the showers tend to fade away. we'll continue to see a few across northern and western areas and cluster of showers, even long spells of rain perhaps pushing into parts of wales as well, thanks to a weak weather front. but elsewhere it's dry, clear skies, variable cloud, temperatures low to mid—teens. and into wednesday, again, very little change, higher pressure to the south, lower pressure to the north. this weak weather from bringing thicker cloud towards wales and the south west of england. so we could start off with some rain across western wales on wednesday. few showers continuing northern western scotland, maybe northern ireland. but, again, majority of the country will see patchy cloud, some sunny spells. best of the sunshine towards the south and the south east where we will see those temperatures again reaching around 25, 26, maybe 27 degrees. further north, it's the high teens, low 20s. now, beyond wednesday this is where we start this is where we start seeing some changes. low pressure in the north gets

its act together and starts to spread its way eastwards. that will send a weather front southwards, could see some big showers or thunderstorms late on thursday in the south. and then we're into a cooler north northwesterly wind regime for friday and into the weekend. you can see those orange colours ebbing southwards in towards the near continent's cooler colours. there you can see so it will feel cooler and fresher for the end of the week. i think for thursday, the last of the very warm days across the southeast for now. and then to things turn cooler and fresher for all areas with a mixture of sunshine and showers.
