with which the fire spread on molly caught many people off guard as a historic town reduced to a smouldering pile of ash and revel once the capital of the former hawaiian kingdom . the high now is usually bustling with stores. now, much of the old town has been destroyed. many residents are caught off guard. some even jumped into the ocean to escape the oncoming flames. tens of thousands of locals and tours have been evacuated from the island and for those remaining sadness for what is lost. an anger of what could have been done to still pick the vials. this is not even the worst of it. still get the bodies in the water floating and on the sea. well, they've been sitting there since last night. we've been pulling people out since last night trying to save people's lives. and i feel like we're not doing the help

. we need us. president joe biden has said that hawaii will get everything it needs . when the blazes broke out, much of hawaii was under a red flag, fire risk warning. what exactly, stocks into fires is out so you have to know. but the conditions, right? a confluence of extremes, severe drought have a constraints, wins, amplified by climate change. as lead to catastrophe stephen busing, a is a professor at the department of at the spirit sciences of the university of why i asked him how these flyers got out of control as well. this was a perfect storm, really because we had very strong high pressure to the north of the hawaiian islands. so it became synchronized with the passage of a very strong tropical storm. dora hurricane dora, who was a category for hurricane wells of the south of hawaii. but it's reduced this very

strong when the search that came across the west smiling mountains and the west valley mountains in turn 6 celebrated. those wing wins further. and especially at night. and that's what caught people off guard is that this firestorm occurred when people were you know, sleeping or taken unawares. so it was a perfect storm. these fires have caused massive loss of life and wiped out hawaii is historic capital. why have these buyers prove so destructive steve? well, i, i think that that is probably a combination of the media are all a g. and then also a little bit of the history because it used to be that above the law high knows that we're sugar team fields for many, many duckett and those sugar team that agriculture disappeared in the,

in the ninety's and a bit later. and it has not been replaced. and so what we have instead is sort of an invasive pull grass that, that provides the fuel for the so devastating fires. who are these fires, steven linked to the pattern of heat waves that we've been seeing across the northern hemisphere lately? that's an interesting question. uh, it is certainly a very obvious that we are seeing a great number of costs. le grayson's across the northern hemisphere and hawaii somehow fits into this pattern. it's not a coincidence that we're seeing so many of these things happening at, at the same time. however, it's very difficult to pinpoint and say ok, you know, this is a,

a market climate change for this particular event. i think that it definitely has also a very strong weather component to it. steven, thank you very much. that was stephen blessing a professor at the university of hawaii. my pleasure. let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. authorities in china have issued a red alerts for the arrival of typhoid in tune on some $23000.00 residents of so far we have activated from areas in the northeast. canada is expected to cause heavy flooding. it's trying to 6 type boons so far this season for south african president, jacob zulu, has were reported to prison only to beat swiftly released again under a new program to avoid over crowding in jails. so who was sentenced to 15 months in prison 2 years ago for refusing to face questioning over corruption and cronyism

allegations is imprisonment sparked riots that left hundreds. dad, ukraine says a russian missile his truck, a hotel used by the un in separation killing at least one person. this is the 2nd attack on the southern city in recent days. it's about 50 kilometers from europe's biggest nuclear power plant. and ukraine's government has an als to humanitarian court door, allowing the deport departure of dozens of cargo ships trapped in its black c ports since rushes invasion. but the ukrainian navy is warning the risk remain from minds and russian attacks. moscow has increased strikes on ukraine's ports since quitting a deal to allow grain exports last month. it's germany's government is reportedly open to sending german made taras cruise missiles to ukraine. that's according to information obtained by the magazine dash spiegel,

the defense ministry is reportedly in talks with the arguments industry over the feasibility of sending stocks. taurus is an air to ground cruise missile with a range of about 500 kilometers, is designed for high precision strikes against highly protected targets. keith has been requesting deliveries of taras myself for months to aid it's counter offensive against russian forces. but transfer of shoals has so far been opposed to sending long range weapons to ukraine. for more, i'm joined by our political correspondent, julia sally, at our parliamentary studios here in berlin. julia tell us more about the talks that are underway between the defense ministry and germany's weapons producers. yes, we should say the of these talks and the entire announcement is not yet concert confirmed. it has not yet come from the government, but we are seeing different a media reports in germany at all, stating the same that the german government isn't talks with the manufacturer of

the taras missiles to possibly supply them to ukraine. now these are the air operated cruise missiles means meaning that they are operated from an aircraft, and importantly that they have a range of over 500 kilometers. now the reports say that the german government has asked the manufacturer to implement a technical modification to the missiles, which would limit the possibility of setting targets and therefore reduce the range of the missiles, making it impossible for them to be used to attack russian territory. and industry experts say this modification is possible, but it, but it would take some time to implement. and according to the reports, chancellor, all of shots wants to wait until he confirms the supply of these missiles to ukraine until he is sure that these modifications can be applied. and the other interesting points is that it appears that germany wouldn't be able to approve the

supply of these missiles to ukraine without the us also agreeing to do the same with its own cruise missiles. this is something that germany hasn't done before. for example, for the supply of a martyr, infantry vehicles, ukraine. it waited for the us who also supply its own vehicles to ukraine. the key if has been asking for these missiles for a long time, germany has been reluctant to meet ukraine's demands. tell us more about this back and forth, julia as well. this is where it is important to note that the german government apparently asked for modifications to the missiles so that they cannot reroute russian territory. and this points to hesitation and uncertainty on the side of the german chancellor olive shows which we've seen through out of the last a year. and that he does not want to see germany as provoking russia. it doesn't want to see to germany, to be seen as being directly involved in the conflict. and therefore, he didn't want these missiles to be seen as, as,

as germany being too involved. and therefore, it looks like that if this delivery were to be confirmed, the modifications apply to the missiles seem to be enough for the chancellor to feel confident to the go ahead with this delivery julia, thank you very much. our political correspondent, julia sal value. their leaders of the west african block eco los have ordered the deployment of a stand by for us to help address the needs of their crisis. they said they want to explore every means for a peaceful resolution to the military coup. but the message is clear. if new shares, military rulers do not reinstated the countries democratically elected, president new chair could find itself on a collision course with its neighbors. we stand for can lead as arrived in a boucher to move the next move image and mason came often easy as one to ignore the ultimatum to stand down from the power grab principle. the group sees all
