president sacks, all of his regional recruitment chiefs as part of a crack down on corruption. he says they weren't guilty of taking millions in bribes. the mariana evans, dean, it's good to have you with us. we begin in hawaii where authorities say the death toll from devastating wildfires. there has no reason to 67 that makes it one of the deadliest disasters in the us states history. the coastal town of la hina, on the island of maui, has been raised to the ground as firefighters continued to battle the flames. some residents are returning to take stock of the damage to their homes and businesses of the, the historic hawaiian town of la haine, a reduced to smouldering rubble. all,

most of the nights as firefighters work to extinguish the last 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 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 too many will now lose to emergency shelters across the island. as the government works to open hotels and holiday houses. so those now left homeless. this is gonna take years, years to recover and it just breaks my heart that all the history from back in the waiting days, the 1800s, task, ash and task. but despite the challenge and the cost hawaii, so sort of these ended people have vowed to rebuild. however long it takes and for more, we're joined now by christina crump or redo. she's an associate professor and the department of atmospheric sciences at the university of hawaii. welcome to the w,

so explained to us what makes these fires different from the ones hawaii is used to seeing. right, so we are used to why fi, you know, dry season from may through october. what was, particularly the extra thing i knew about this event was the strength of the wins um there was a high pressure system because most of the islands and then little pressure to the south of the islands as hiking dora was passing by. well, south to be about creating the normal trade winds to the center. and then of course, at the fall, most of the i for the next i want and we ended up causing winds up to 8080 miles and stop. let's do this rapid spread. this is fine and of course we also have a couple of months of dryer than normal conditions that the

a gave fuel to these fire. so you described these wins as extraordinary, but you know, given the fact that authorities were aware of these off shore wins, should officials have for seen this kind of fire where we went under warranty. and that's part of this is where possible. because of course, us as the said to the winds were well for that. i think it was the finals of the night and the the ex or the strength that, you know, 5, whether it's very complicated, you may expected. but when it actually happens, i think it's very complicated to find, to find the file like this, and we still live in many bases. i'm originally from greece and logically, well, now we've had these fires in irons as well. that's right. so we've,

we've been seeing these catastrophic wildfires as you say all over the world. so what links them, is it safe to say that this is evidence of climate change? for example. i think the every time there's an extra one and then like the one we we described it's, it's reasonable to ask where the somebody was exacerbated by climate change. and as i mentioned, there were many ingredients that led to these facts explore uh to an extent. but of course, we need a comprehensive uses body to really say that's kind of teams meet these more likely . but as far as the premiums go, we do have studies that show, for example, that be stronger. there's a drive trend, tombly woodside on the eyes, and that is expected to continue in response to increased greenhouse gas emissions . and the other thing we, we also have studies regarding tropical cycles and the studies have shown that it's

possible that will have an increase of their most in gun storms in the pacific. so the ingredients are they and of course how exactly they will properly do. the likelihood of this type over there is happening again in the future. we may still be studied, but we do know that the ingredients due to climate change could be getting worse. that was christine that crown or reduced in the university of hawaii. thank you so much for your insights. ukrainian president in florida mirrors the landscape says he's fired all of his regional recruitment, chines site and corruption concerns. the officials in charge of enlisting soldiers have been accused of accepting cash brides from individuals who wanted to avoid conscription. the landscape called this an act of treason. he said the $33.00 suspects under investigation will be replaced with soldiers injured in combat because they can be trusted and we can now speak to marina middle

on she is a researcher at the worst studies department of kings college london. medina, thank you for joining us. so how much is corruption affecting the military capabilities of ukraine? a good morning. well, um is there have been reports earlier uh from the bringing administrative defense. and by early i mean in 2016, 2017. acknowledging the problem of corruption. however, it has never been discussed publicly outside you praying and there have not been investigations which were able to cover this topic and to effectively address it. so corruption exists. we don't know to what extent that exists and uh what we're seeing now. and we have seen that before was the defense ministers at the end. there was corruption in the procurement department. as far as we know, the risk corruption when it comes to recruitment of soldiers. how serious of

a problem it is difficult to assess, but it is definitely affecting the bringing forces. and i fear that these news will, of course, not come to, to do the publicity to that does international media or will be try to, to be concealed as far as possible in order for russian not to exploit this particular point. as of where it's going on. because the idea was to address this problem once a more is over, not while the war is raging. and the in a separate development, we've been getting reports that the german government is considering sending torres cruise missiles to ukraine. how significant would this be as well, right? now what we know about the store as much missiles and what ukraine wants to do with them is the fact that these missiles can be somewhat compared to the british storm shadow into the frame scarlet missiles. however, they have

a great arrange something with one 3rd of the scarlet missiles. that being said, um it is not known. whereas, or these missiles will be exported with that same range because of the fear that the ukrainian armed forces might be using these missiles to target the facilities inside russia. even if so, it was a military facilities and this trust has been shaking, especially with the use of drains to strike moscow in the recent months. so the rest of the discussion, however, are from a miller tree perspective, they would give you creating the capability to increase the range and strikes deeper into russian hill territories, especially when it comes to part of the target. so they are essentially like storm shadow. however, germany has more missiles available, so that that's, that gives you brains the opportunity to strike more targets without having to be

very economical. and besides countries like spain and last 3 years with potentially contribute their taurus missile for which they are currently operating. and them being cruise missiles, as opposed to ballistic missiles that would make it more difficult for the russian air defenses to the tech savvy. and also the low trajectory. you would also mean that the crew is relatively c one deploying those missiles. that was money in, in the around of kings college. medina. thank you. we appreciate it. thank you. as soon as they're now where hundreds of people gathered near a french military base to protest in favor of last month to the demonstration to place a day after leaders from the west african regional block, known as eco, was said that they would create a stand by force that could be deployed to help restore new shares, elected president to power the outskirts of nisha is capital protest as an

adamant in the support of the 2 hundreds gathered outside a military base of each is full. nicola nicer from demanding french soldiers leave the country and warning against the arrival of any eco was full since the powerful west african block is owed in troops on standby. as it rents a pre show on the one to, to back down. it strips sanctions of over a be taking we are told foreclosures, main trucks have been waiting for days to bring and supplies that's causing food costs in the army to skype. okay. so is that the needs are made? those peppers and carriage come from nigeria, only tons and pumpkins are grown here. prices have risen very quickly, and the play do not owe a lot or condiments for cooking. the even salt for washington or laundry products are now on affordable fed. today ask them to show this was but the prices are no

longer affordable. it's really too expensive to rebuild. the shopkeepers will adjust their price is how to color color. so many are reliant on gina race is often neighboring. nigeria costs power supply already one of the forest nations in the world. the coo and sanctions have made life even had so many and these. yeah. despite their struggles some a warning against international intervention, we want peace and stability. no, no. we don't want to think of, let's see what the, what does no, jerry, i know about the why the one to stage, the qu, they of is that they don't, they don't know why need you reinstate the key as me, she is political style. make continues, but the currently does end eco was unveiling linux moves. we stand for can you cheats? we'll meet next week to discuss possible military action. while the,
