live from washington. this is bbc news. president biden tours the wildfire damage in hawaii, amid criticism of his handling of the crisis. ecuador�*s presidential campaign is heading for a run—off. a separate vote on drilling in the amazon will have a more immediate effect. and nine republicans will take the stage for wednesday's presidential debate. one will not. how donald trump's absence will impact the proceedings. president biden is wrapping up a trip to hawaii, where he's assured people that the nation stands with them, nearly two weeks after wildfires ravaged parts of maui, leaving at least 114 people dead. mr biden and the first lady joined state and local officials on a tour

of the devastated area. he also met with first—responders, members of fema, the national guard and search—and—rescue workers. mr biden has faced some criticism for his handling of the federal response. he did not speak publicly about the crisis for days, though he spoke to the state's governor and emergency officials. and some locals say they are not getting the support they need on the ground. speaking in front of the island's famous banyan tree, which survived the flames, mr biden reaffirmed the government's commitment to the island's recovery. we're 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. the country grieved with you and stand with you and will do everything to respect culture and traditions when the

rebuilding takes place. the state's governor, josh green, took part in mr biden�*s tour and sent a message for the international community. all of the other areas of maui and the rest of hawaii are safe and the rest of hawaii are safe and open and available. the mystique and love is here for you. the reason i say that is because when you come, you will support our local economy and help speed the recovery of the people that are suffering right now. meanwhile, recovery efforts are ongoing in maui. ahead of mr biden�*s trip, the white house said that, as of sunday, more than 1,000 federal workers are in maui. that includes more than a50 search and rescue personnel. and the biden administration has approved $8.2 million to almost 3,000 households. 850 people are still missing — a decline from the more than 2,000 reported missing immediately after the fires. authorities say many were found safe. but they also warned that numbers are expected to fluctuate. meanwhile, clean—up is under way in the southwest of the us as the remnants

of tropical storm hilary are making their way north. it's now a post—tropical cyclone. these are some of the latest pictures, coming from cathedral city, just outside of palm springs. torrential rain has covered much of this area in mud. many cars have been abandoned on the roads, but not all. here you see at least two people still in an rv, calling for help on the outskirts of the city. in los angeles, a record was broken for the most rain ever on an august day. california's governor gavin newsom has declared a state of emergency. cooler weather is helping canadian officials as they try to get a handle on more than 1,000 wildfires burning across british columbia and the northwest territories. tens of thousands of people have been ordered to evacuate and a state of emergency remains in force. more help is coming — soldiers are being deployed to battle the blazes. earlier, my colleague caitriona perry spoke with a former member

of the environmental protection agency's national advisory committee michael k dorsey about the natural disasters hitting canada and the us. thanks forjoining us. for the last few years there have been reports of the worst wildfires in canada's history, and here we are with thousands of people evacuating the north—west of the country. why are the wildfires so bad, and increasingly so? in the canadian _ increasingly so? in the canadian situation, - increasingly so? in the canadian situation, we increasingly so? in the - canadian situation, we are dealing with increased drought, also dealing with a mixture of extreme weather events, the vast majority of these extreme events is really driven by the changing climate. we have added over 400 ppm of c02 into the atmosphere. this is producing extreme weather around the world, notjust in canada. and its impact are not canadian only but they have had huge implications for the us air

quality over the past months. we are going to see more extreme weather events like we are seeing in california elsewhere on earth. the very fact climate change is driving this process is also driving the warming of the seas, and that produces large cyclonic events like you saw, the hurricane that became a tropical storm on land in south—western california. you south-western california. you have touched _ south-western california. you have touched there _ south—western california. you have touched there on... with so much burning and smoke released into the air, what are the likely global impacts? the climate crisis _ the likely global impacts? tua: climate crisis affects the likely global impacts? tta: climate crisis affects not the likely global impacts? tt2 climate crisis affects notjust people but ecosystems. we are going to see more catastrophic fire events as various regions of the world, canada and the us, also in the pacific area, in australia, europe, around the world, are facing prolonged droughts, deeper droughts, which has implications for

those ecosystems. they also have deleterious health impacts. climate change is a problem that affects all of us. it affects disproportionately those on the margins of society, those who have the resources to move out of harm's way... those who are worse off, they don't have that luxury. there are implications disproportionately on those on the margins of society. the wildfires in _ the margins of society. the wildfires in canada, - the margins of society. the wildfires in canada, we saw them in hawaii and tenerife as well, but if we look to california where we have water as the problem, flooding there, 20 million people underflood warnings... again an extremely rare weather event, climate change, can we expect more weather systems like that? tt’s weather systems like that? it's no [on . er weather systems like that? it's no longer fair _ weather systems like that? tit�*s no longer fair to call this stuff rare and unusual. colleagues of mine have been offering up the analysis in the forecast that climate change

will produce more catastrophic weather events. this is going to become more the norm, these catastrophic weather events, particularly as we see c02 levels continuing to rise. the united nations multilateral process has not been successful in stopping rising c02 in the atmosphere, and basically that's going to increase not just the extent of these events, whether they are catastrophic storms, unprecedented storms with unprecedented storms with unprecedented rainfall, a years' worth of rain in a few hours... these things are being driven by a climate process thatis driven by a climate process that is really running out of control, that we have to get our hands around. the solution is deploying more renewable energy, but we have to do that much more aggressively than we have been doing.— have been doing. from what you are saying. _ have been doing. from what you are saying, governments - have been doing. from what you are saying, governments are - have been doing. from what you are saying, governments are not doing enough to be ready for these events when they happen? they are not doing enough, fast enough. they have to do much,

much more and do it more aggressively. we have to get out of the framework of thinking about promising to do something in 2050, a decade from now, and look at what we are doing to get ahead of this? how are we facilitating and accelerating renewable energy? how are we doing in terms of reducing overall emissions, in terms of regulating the fossil fuel sector that is still putting out a tremendous amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.— of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. of carbon dioxide into the atmoshere. a ., ., atmosphere. michael, lots more to talk about, _ atmosphere. michael, lots more to talk about, but _ atmosphere. michael, lots more to talk about, but for _ atmosphere. michael, lots more to talk about, but for now, - to talk about, but for now, thank you very much forjoining us. thank you very much for “oining us. . ~' thank you very much for “oining us. . ~ , ., the battle to become ecuador�*s next president will be decided in a run—off in october. the country went to the polls on sunday, and leftwing candidate luisa gonzalez won the most votes, with 33% support. she'll face off against daniel noboa, who received the second most votes. the october vote is expected to be tight. the election campaign was marred by violence, after the assassination

of presidental candidate fernando villavicencio, shot dead after a rally earlier this month. 0ur south america correspondent katy watson filed this report. when you need dozens of soldiers and a bullet—proof curtain to be able to vote, you realise democracy is in danger. i voted with courage, said this candidate, running in place of fernando villavicencio, the politician shot dead earlier this month. ecuadorians are still reeling from the attack on fernando villavicencio, a journalist turned politician, he was outspoken on corruption and organised crime, murdered as he left a campaign event. ecuador was once a peaceful country, but in the past few years, colombian and mexican drug cartels vying for lucrative routes have taken advantage of a struggling state and corrupt politics and have gained the upper hand. dressed

in guatemala's presidential election. bernardo arevalo's victory is seen as a repudiation of the political elite in the central american nation, long the target of corruption allegations. mr arevalo campaigned on an anti—corruption platform, and has pledged to defend the rule of law against entrenched elitist interests. the actor who has voiced one of the world's best—known video game characters, nintendo's mario, is stepping down after 27 years. charles martinet has played not only the italian plumber, but also his twin brother, luigi, and the villain, wario. you're live with bbc news. republican presidential candidates will take the stage for the first debate of the 2024 us campaign season on wednesday night in wisconsin. preparations are under way in milwaukee, the host city. nine contenders will face off in the two—hour long debate, moderated by fox news. to qualify candiates needed to draw donations

from over 40,000 individuals. they also had to reach at least i% support across several polls. the candidates who hit those marks and are set to appear include florida governor ron desantis. his campaign has seen a number of shake—ups recently. desantis will be joined by eight other candidates, seen here, all vying for a chance to convince voters that they should be the republican nominee. but there's one candidate who will be absent from the stage — former president donald trump says he'll skip the debate, opting instead to do an interview with former fox news host tucker carlson. earlier, i previewed the debate with republican strategist and lawyer mehek cooke, and matt terrill, managing partner at firehouse strategies and former chief of staff for marco rubio's 2016 presidential campaign. thanks so much forjoining us. i want to start with the cbs news poll released yesterday asking republican voters who they would vote for today, and

hampshire, south carolina. the reality is if former president trump wins iowa, it's going to be very hard to defeat him in this nomination. if the other candidates can win early states particularly iowa, this is a different race. solid debate performances generate momentum. winning the key early states will determine this race. specifically iowa, i want to ask you about florida governor ron desantis, he's putting a lot of political capital into the state, do you think it could pay off for him? tt’s the state, do you think it could pay off for him? it's a reality for— could pay off for him? it's a reality for him _ could pay off for him? it's a reality for him and - could pay off for him? it's a reality for him and other i reality for him and other candidates that this is a critical state, candidates that this is a criticalstate, i candidates that this is a critical state, i would argue the most important, and winning there makes it a different race. it generates momentum. campaigns don't end because they want to, they lose states or they run out of money. if you win the early states, it gets you closer and closer to the voters and also generates

mr trump posted on his social media site truth social that he will go to the fulton county jail to be "arrested." lawyers and the district attorney's office, where mr trump also agreed to a 200 thousand dollar bond and other release conditions. the former president and 18 other defendants face charges of election fraud, racketeering and more in the indictment. live now to our north america correspondent anthony zurcher, who is in milwaukee. good to see you, we mention former president donald trump is not attending the debate, he has opted for an interview with tucker carlson. we know he plans to go to atlanta on thursday. how significant is all of this? t thursday. how significant is all of this?— all of this? i think it is significant _ all of this? i think it is significant in - all of this? i think it is significant in that i all of this? i think it is significant in that it i all of this? i think it is i significant in that it sucks a lot of the oxygen out of the room in milwaukee. the debate halljust over my shoulder, a basketball arena. the audience for the debate is just not

going to be as great without donald trump on stage. a lot of the media attention is going to shift some milwaukee to atlanta, georgia, where a very visible drama is going to play out. donald trump reporting to jail, having his mugshot taken, all of this is going to capture all of this is going to capture a lot of public attention. a pretty major distraction away from the candidates coming here, hoping this could be their moment to break out and get some momentum going in the months ahead to position themselves as the prime challenger to donald trump when it comes to voting starting next january. 50 it comes to voting starting next january-— it comes to voting starting next january. it comes to voting starting next janua . ., . ., next january. so what impact do ou think next january. so what impact do you think that _ next january. so what impact do you think that will _ next january. so what impact do you think that will have - next january. so what impact do you think that will have on i next january. so what impact do you think that will have on the l you think that will have on the debate we see on stage? you know, i think _ debate we see on stage? you know, i think because i debate we see on stage? turn. know, i think because there's not going to be as big an audience for this debate, it makes it more important for the individual candidates on stage to find a way to generate some sort of headline, some sort of clip that will get replayed

after the debate. they want eyeballs in the media coverage in the days after. they are going to be trying to come up with some sort of key viral moment. that's not going to happen by attacking donald trump. it would probably happen attacking each other, that they will be able to generate headlines by going after candidates on stage. the tech executives rising in the polls who has not run for elected office before could be a target for some of the other candidates. ron desantis, who has been in second in most of the polls, he is going to be a target for a lot of candidates. look for some key issues to come up. where there are differences for the people on stage. the issue of donald trump and his indictment, you will see people like newjersey governor chris christie being very aggressive against donald trump, you may see some other

candidates come to his defence. another big issue could be ukraine. some have been very critical of continued us support for ukraine, but others like mike pence and former governor nikki haley, the former us ambassador to the united nations, they have defended the us support and called for continued support of ukraine. that could be an area of conflict. ukraine. that could be an area of conflict-— of conflict. coming back to the former president, _ of conflict. coming back to the former president, he - of conflict. coming back to the former president, he has i of conflict. coming back to the l former president, he has denied all the charges against him. he is planning to be in atlanta on thursday, what do you think we can expect to see there?- can expect to see there? well, we kind of— can expect to see there? well, we kind of have _ can expect to see there? well, we kind of have a _ can expect to see there? well, we kind of have a script i can expect to see there? well, we kind of have a script now, l we kind of have a script now, because this is not donald trump's first indictment, not his first booking. we will see him show up at the jail, that will be a bit different, showing up at the fulton county jail to have his mugshot taken, to be processed, his information taken down to be formally entered into the register as part of the criminaljustice bill

proceedings. in previous indictment, that have happened at the same time as the arraignment, the first appearance before the judge before the trial. in new york, in washington, dc, in florida, donald trump showed up, was processed and was then arranged. here it is two separate occasions, and the first one, the booking, will happen on thursday. —— and was then arraigned. spain's national women's football team has arrived back home from australia as the newly crowned world champions. the players paraded through the capital, madrid, on an open top bus. the official celebrations have stretched well into the night at an outdoor stage event packed with jubilant crowds waving spanish flags. spain defeated england 1—0 in the final of the women's world cup on sunday, winning their first world title. the tournament broke attendance and tv ratings records, demonstrating the growing interest in women's football. i'll be back at the top of the

hour with the latest headlines. stay with us. 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 in northern and 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 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. 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 things turn cooler and fresher for all areas with a mixture of sunshine and showers.
