of the coastal town up behind on the island of maui. it has been raised to the ground. many residents had here we escapes and some are questioning whether the authorities did enough to warn people of the danger. the historic hawaiian town of the hana reduced to a smouldering revel almost of the night as firefighters work to extinguish the loss of the flames. authorities have begun assessing the scale of the damage. we probably have well over a 1000 buildings that have been destroyed. many, many hundreds of families have been displaced, will rebuild the president has already just in 6 hours authorized and approved our request for emergency support. but it's going to be a long hall scene from the air. the once vibrant, the town appears. little more than a wasteland of ash and ruins. rescue teams have been deployed from the us mainland . but with hundreds of people still missing there,

a fee is that many never made it down a live some of those who did a returning home, only to find they've lost everything. so this is our 1st time coming back and like actually knowing that our house for now we haven't really known anything for the last couple of days because there's no information coming through. tens of thousands of tourists have been evacuated from the island of molly. but for the majority of la haine, as residents, there is no home to fleet to. the menu will now move to emergency shelters across the island. as the government works to open hotels and holiday houses for those now left homeless. this is gonna take years, years to recover and it just breaks my heart. that's all the history from back in the waiting days, the 1800 jobs ash task. but despite the challenge

and of the cost, hawaii, so authority is ended. people have vowed to rebuild. however long it takes like corresponding car leading to moines, she has the latest force on the situation. and why were the rescue and recovery mission continue? yes, precisely, brenda search for victim is ongoing how why residents continue to try to find their missing loved ones. marie county may your, to report us today that the death toll consists of people whose bodies i've been found out doors. this means that the rescue teams have not yet a search to the interiors of the buildings for victims. we also know that nearly 11000 people remain without power in molly and that hawaii emergency management records now show that the warranties tyrants apparently did not sound before people run for their lives from the wildfires instead of fish will send alerts on mobile phones, television. now, so radius stations with widespread power outages may may have limited the reach of

that. we know that tens of thousands of people have been evacuated, where they stay now as well. it seems friends that it's people in the community who took the lead in organizing before emergencies has those were installed. those with extra rooms or trucks offered a shelter. and we also know that residents in nearby areas, we're also offering food and a baby for me. all day, per se, close, and most of them were posting online messages offering help at but now they're also emergency each other's, mainly for the residents and more than $14000.00 visitors have already left molly on flights. according to hawaii, governor adore screen a residence of the high enough will be able to go back to their homes today. yeah, it was quoted as saying that the residents should be prepared to see destruction that they have never seen before in their lives. i know that you as president biden has declared the area of the state or you know, emergency,

which means it's going to free up some level of federal funding for the people there. um, what else is the government doing to help people, people lost everything? well, we know that president biden spoke with the governor, josh green by phone today, after the governor completed a survey of the destruction across molly, according to the white house he, the governor, provided the president with a 1st hand to update and assessment of the latest needs at the us military, also mobilized it's emergency response, including 133 national guard members who are on the ground supporting efforts and guard haley cultures. they were the 1st ones to help. they done a 100000 gallons friend of water in only 5 hours on wednesday. it's also important to mention that the wildfire that cost is widespread damage was 80 percent continued as of yesterday. however, non of the 4 major fires on mile we are fully contained yet. yeah. so much transfer

. you different people, it happens so quickly. it'll be used currently that you're more in washington currently the thank you let's. let's take a look now, some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world at floods and land slides are triggered by monsoon range and me and more of killed at least 5 people in forest evacuation of about 40000 others. the flooding began in late july . it has affected 9 states, and regions. authorities in moscow have cordoned off a park where they say they successfully intercepted a ukrainian jerome. the defense ministry says the aircraft crashed when it was electronically jail. it's the latest apparent and ukrainian drawing the tax on russia this week. germany's spiegel news magazine says that the government is open to sending german made tories cruise missiles to ukraine. tours, as a range of about 500 kilometers. it's designed for height, precision, and strikes against highly protected targets. he has been asking for missiles for

months, but german transferred all off sholtes and so far opposed, sending long range weapons to you. great. probably in hoffman is a military defense analyst with the university of although i asked him whether these missiles are what ukraine needs most right now or yeah, absolutely. so it's, it's another type of long range stripe. what burns that to crane has received a bunch of over the last couple of months, 1st from the united kingdom, which sent the storm shadow, christmas all and then from the frost which sent the same resolve, but which is known in paris under the name of the golf ici, and the thing is these miss all systems, they are very effective in targeting russian positions, logistical halls, house transportation, notes of food are behind the front line,

which is important for, for ukraine. and the, the big thing about tar was always that it's simply not a type of long range try that can effectively to try it. the russian troops behind the front lot and that will be on hoffman. they're speaking with us earlier. wagner mercenaries and bill ruse are unfortunately returning to russia and just weeks after arriving. now that is according to the washington based institute for the study of more reports, suggested bill to be seen leader alexander lucas jacob has refused to finance the private army. now, just last month, he offered wagner, a new home after the groups brief revolt against the gremlins military leadership. wagner group mercenaries, training batteries and military personnel. just last month that a races, ministry of defense released the footage, which claims to show the group who were allowed to setup comp in the country by leader alexander lucas. shank. go. that came as a result of

a deal he brokerage in june. that put an end tour revolt against his close ally russian president vladimir putin bite wagner mercenaries. each was launched by their leader. you have gave me p. goshen lucas jenko has appeared to welcome wagner mercenaries being and his country. i do see a new fish on the display of which i use may wagner or helping us for free, even though there are mercenaries who fought and worked everywhere for money to bring us a jeweler. to be honest, if i want to keep them as a unit here to their real fighters, who have been through a warfare by and see what the ship should, should as well, you know, but, you know, the wagner mercenaries appeared to be setting up a base and batteries, the satellite images from june, purporting to show a military facility under construction, not far from the capital means split. now,

just a week later, there are unconfirmed reports that a majority of the mercenaries have been kicked out of batteries by the countries leader, alexander lucas. shank was katarina step on. you can go is a rush or analyst at the institute for the study of were that's the organization that reported on these latest moves by wagner forces. yes, of course the information that we've observed came from kremlin inside of sources. um, so obviously we cannot verify their full legitimacy. however, the sources in the past have been credible. and when reporting on situation with russian security forces, it is like i've said the, the evidence is the, the, the insight as far as the state of that around 400 to 500 wagner personnel is moving to across on the price. so we, it's not the entirety of the constituency in billows. i also want to preface that

the rates and recently obtained satellite imagery shows that there is an increase in military equipment. and so a simple way to k, a base in billows, which might suggest that wagner is still continuing their operations and abilities this time and might of even increase their presence. so what about the report? the bill originally dollars in lucas jenko saying that he doesn't want to finance the wagner group. are we seeing there are a wrist opening up between him and russian president vladimir putin? or that was also a claim by one of the kremlin inside or sources who has been connected to russian security forces. it's, it's interesting to the extent of which one of luca shameka has been integrated into kind of solving the kremlin issues on the grounds. and so look, a strength of presence in this deal, you know, was an inherent slap to push in when it was 1st brokerage. the dissolution of this

negotiation is that actually happens when i might have some implications on just which is the ability to a certain power and decisively of sol issues that happened in internally with in russia. now. so we wagner in russia, wagner in bella ruse. why does it matter? why is it so important to know? we're wagner mercenaries, our station and locate, just because it's a, it's a demonstration of fortune's ability to resolve issues that arise for his regime. obviously having 13000 militants that have previously staged in our rebellion, enbrel shot weren't those poses some sort of a thread for russian, which is region. so the, the whereabouts of this group of forces that is reportedly being deprived of some of the opportunities in africa. and the middle east and being upset with,

for example, the kremlin, couldn't be a bad sign for food. and i think what we're observing now is pushing continues his efforts to prioritize the destruction of the goshen as an individual, as a figure within russia. more so than actually figuring out what wagner personnel is going to do next. you know, since wagner is, is short lived, rebellion in june, the allegedly, against the leadership of the russian military. what, what, what can we say? the relationship is between wagner and rushes, various security interests around the world. you know, there were reports of the past week or so that there may be wagner forces in new share, which just experienced another could as i think that there's uh, 2 currents that are, i'm going the 1st current is defense minister c h, troy go who has reportedly been trying to limit the partners operation for broad,

essentially, his goal, it seems to be to replace mark their personnel operating in africa in the middle east, with other personnel, from other pro, private military companies affiliated with the russian ministry of defense. so right now it's, it's really unclear and it looks like the kremlin doesn't have a said a certain goal and a sense of strategy for inter greeting of wagner personnel, both in their domestic operations as well as into international operations. and furthermore, in ukraine, catalina and stephanie, and we appreciate your time and your insight tonight. thank you. thank you so much . let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines this hour. the us attorney general mer garland, has appointed a special counsel to investigate you as president vitamin son hunter for alleged elicit business deals abroad. that gives the prosecutor more authority in the case

governor, congressional republicans have so far been unable to tie president biden to any of his sons reported wrong doing to hundreds of qu, supporters have rallied at a french military base in new jersey, or they chanted down with france down with equal watch. the rally took place the day after leader was from the west african group known as we could watch, so that they would create a standby force that could be deployed to restore order initially. before south african president, jacob zuba is back home after a very brief return to prison. zooming was set to restart a sentence that he began 2 years ago for refusing to answer questions about corruption allegations is arrest sparked the large right to the left. hundreds dead . the 81 year old only served to 2 months of a 15 month sentence back in 2021 before being released on medical parole. that release was later found to be unlawful. so soon that was ordered to go back to jail

where he did that. but he was there for less than an hour after being sent home, yet again under a new program to avoid prison overcrowding. we, what i mean now is our corresponded diane hawker. she is following this story for us in johannesburg. diane, it's good to see you. i'm, let's just talk about this over crowding program for a moment here that allowed zoomed to walk free from joe again. um, talk this through. what's going on there? smell. good evening brands. i think the oval crowding program is one of those things we've heard about it before, but it's application this time around is really what has made people with the flu concepts. for example, during the coke of 19 pandemic, the government had also done a remission. a program where they released a number of people due to overcrowding. this was partly because they was a need to free up space was in correctional fences. this time we're seeing it

happening. and we're seeing one of the most high profile beneficiaries being a former president jacobs, who might oppose the fact that it was completed today and announced today which is the same day that he was made to return to prison. makes it extremely suspicious and has caused questions to arise, particularly amongst opposition parties, his of africa and with some of j consumer, as political detractors. yeah. they're, they're saying, of course, it looks like he's receiving preferential treatment. so let me ask you this question. is that the case would be, as anyone else been sent home from prison for the same reason that jacob's whom i got today well, the department says that they tend to send home the other 9500 people. but they also indicated that they would still be a process that they undergo. so in instance, some instances via the people who are wrong by the crimes would be allowed to come

in and to give input of that process of any other instances they would be released if they only have stored sentences lived. however, as far as we know, as of the stage, jacob summa was the 1st beneficiary of this, because he only spent a very short time in the correctional center. it was processed and then was released. okay, so he was released but it is, is he is out in jail. is he out of the woods? what legal headaches does he still face? she is out of the woods in one aspect, which is the contempt of court, but he's still facing a major issue, which is he's criminal case. he's mentor tend to court for next week with a criminal case will be heard again. and this case has also been going on since 2021. it actually has a much longer history because it relates to the alms deal, which goes back over a decade. but in terms of the criminal case, the trial was made to beginning 23 to one and its been delayed. by all kinds of

legal wrangling. a lot of those issues brought up by the former president himself. he's taking issue with the prosecution. he says the, the lead prosecutor has a biased towards him and he's gone through numerous legal challenges to get that prosecutor removed. so in terms of the substance of the case that hasn't gotten underway, although these be numerous appearances over the last 2 years and, and diane, given the history of violence connected to jacob zoom, is arrest. i'm just wondering how reluctant do you think that the authorities will be if they decide that he should be returned to prison yet again, i mean will, they will, will they maybe pause before saying go back to jail. well, in this case, it wouldn't be up to the authorities of being the hands of the quote, particularly when it comes to these criminal case. and if he is found guilty in

that instance, they would be no other alternative but to send him to prison. we'll have to wait and see what happens with that criminal case. all right, diane hunger of our correspondents here in your hands breeches isaiah, thank you. thank you. so the government in kenya cracking down on pro chairs, which have been led by the opposition against the high cost of living and the plan to raise taxes. the right to protest is enshrined in king is constitution. dw news met one young man who was following foul of the action by the authorities. victor too much told us where he confronted the police not far from his home, where his 2 year old daughter fainted, often handing police to ghast 2 weeks ago. so the police, meanwhile, the most twins, think of it, they grab me this way. uh, the police mounted me the just need to grab my hand. it take me

caught on camera videos. i picked that to him as a rest, made their way around. kenya, you too, got my child, do my shouts as a plainclothes police officer. grab some from the back and drag some into a police vehicles. the author that he said he was taken and kept in custody for 2 days before being released on bail. he's still best with scholars at the meetings, which he says were made by tons and wires, maybe in the media and i was taken to the cell after i was beaten. some people was sleeping, but i couldn't sleep. my whole body hurts and we were on the floor in the cell was made of cement. i love, the experience was bad names to meet the team. so with the experience was the most recent wave of protests against the high cost of living hip kenya hod, too much neighborhood nairobi, is low income area. missouri had become the scene of running bottles and to a gas which it 1st for testers. any of our residential homes,

both local and national human rights groups have pulled out the government for what they say, this proportionate force and respond to the protest. and it's no income areas like these where residents really bad, the brunt, most of the social justice center are documenting the cases and advise them to mount on his rides. they know he's one of the lucky ones we have to date will be and then that will be with the coefficient walks and outcast. there will be. so we live in the outskirts, there will be where we know we're not even too much of what you need to click to get this set of buttons. you know, when it's not recorded, nothing happens. everything needs to be documented out to make our trip like we lose this amount of youth in the community. so the moment they see fit ache, or we can even, we have something to, to show to this through the fit. while the numbers very rights group say they've recorded of associated depth and connection to the protests across can, you can use. police inspector general, however, denied the allegations that the police had a role to play in the deaths and injuries, dismissing them as

a position propaganda sued a member. so the, this a set point which has had in dead bodies calling me the telling me the, i'm not to dispute blocked into by police officers. so the profile combat hooked to the out. what about this kind of just continue to bring us about this wonderful what to actually see. so on this whole, what's the quote can, has independent policing oversight authority. a government body that investigates police misconduct admits that many cases store, because either the police don't corporate or the witnesses don't come forward. once an officer, a guess of this public. all, if i taught it these costs out of what he's actually, we have to be notified within wallace or last 2 months is practically tested. so we

end up getting those notices. we have the most visuals all out the world and we don't good. so that's what it is like, we get to do this. so we know that the something that we need to do, and that is to like you, that the demo by a legal frame. what do most case is due back in court and a few weeks? and while he is good but the police could retaliate his still the time and to speak up, a russian has launched its 1st at noon mission and nearly half a century. the luna $25.00 craft will search for water and attempt to reach the unexplored lunar south pole mission is taking place without the support of the european space agency which ended its cooperation with russia. following the invasion of ukraine. nearly 50 years after the soviet union sent its final mission to the moon. russia has revive the lunar program. the load on $25.00 mission has left the earth orbit and is expected to land the moon so full on august

21st. it's an area that especially interest scientists who believe the lunar south poles make and in water there's always good speculation that there's water on the moon. and that's important if you, if you want to build permanent settlements on the moon. so there's been a lot of interest in the south and the polar regions because they're in the shadow permanently in the shadow of some shadow. and there's a, there's speculation that it might, they might have ice subterranean ice, which is really would be incredible. the mission has spetchko for competition with india, which is also aiming to land. it's generally on 3 cross on the south pole later this month. no country has successfully test done on this end of the moon, yet we've had so many times with the tundra on emissions. israel a tried and filed japan is tried and file, but of course, japan's also trying to get to the moon. there are all sorts of competitive elements

here. both soviet special has and ball going to play admissions beyond its orbit to mars and full bows. grunt, which is one of the moons on mars. both crash landed in the pacific ocean exposed say that some duty during the moon without incident would be a success. if you want to do the news from berlin after a short break, i'll be back to take you through the day. the question tonight, why weren't people on now we warn you before those deadly wild fires? hit be right the,

the new will tell you the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use force and

for the future. in the stories industries that are being discussed across the country, news africa in 60 minutes on dw, the all the might see me. how much can we do simultaneously? multitasking these, the modern methods. because if we do too much at once, we get it all wrong. we mess things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage, humans and multitasking watch now on youtube, v w documentary equipment. this point is great for investing the invest. these

are the everyone here just wants to get into big old quite a bit. coins digital gold and we want it to stay here in central and south america . they're known as big green arrows, digital gold, diggers, investors from all over on moving to latin america in search of bitcoin treasure. nowhere is the crypto currency founded more highly than here. but for many, the frenzy ends in ruin. we were promised high speed rail, but so far there is no sign of the coin in latin america starts august 18th on dw, the we still do not know how many people have died in the wild. flyers on the hawaiian islands of mallory. but with the confirm number at 55, this will most likely be wonderful wise, deadliest natural disasters ever. the blaze reduce the historic port countable hiena to a waste land of ashes in just the.
