of the us states. also and to show you as president faxed, all of his original recruitment chiefs as part of a crackdown on corruption. he says they were guilty of taking millions and bribes and everything is still the play for in the women's football and worldcom. so even surprised porter final victory over former champions depends means all the previous winners are now out of the running. the a married a evans dean. it's good to have you with us. we begin in hawaii where authorities say the death toll from devastating wild fires. there has no reason to 67 that makes it one of the dead leaves disasters and the us states history. the coastal town of behind on the island of maui has been raised to the ground as firefighters

continue to battle the flames. some residents are returning to take stock of the damage to their homes and businesses. the historic hawaiian town of la haine, a reduced to smouldering rubble on 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 every thing. 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 has residence, 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 going to take years, years to recover that it just breaks my heart that all does history from back in the waving days, the 1800s task ash task. but despite the challenge and of the cost, hawaii, so authority is ended. people have vowed to rebuild,

however long it takes christina confir redo is an associate professor and the department of ed monsieur experiences at the university of hawaii. i asked her why these fires are 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 looking at your bunk 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 wells off to be about creating the normal trade winds to the center. and then of course, the diploma for buyers for the next room. and we ended up causing the winds up to 8080 miles and stop. let's do this rapid spread release of these 5.

and of course, we also have a couple of months of dryer than normal conditions that the again fuel to this fire . so you described these wins as extraordinary. but, you know, given the fact that authorities were aware of these offshore wins, should officials have for seen this kind of fire. so were uh, we went under warranty and, and the tire conditions were possible. because of course, as, as he said that the winds were well for it. i think it was the finals that night and the v x service trying flat, you know, fine, weather is very complicated. you may expected, but when it actually happens, i think it's very complicated. to fight to fight the fire like this. indeed we see

the many bases. i'm originally from greece and logically, well, now we've got these types of 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 them every time there's an extra one in van, like the one we we described it's, it's reasonable to ask what the, some of the food was exacerbated by climate change. and as i mentioned, there were many ingredients that led to these perfect storm to an extent. but of course, we will need a proper attribution study to really see the properties made these more likely. but as far as the premiums go, we do have studies that show, for example, that be stronger. there's a dr. trend tombly woodside on the items and that these expect it to continue in response to increased greenhouse gas emissions. and the other thing we,

we also have studies regarding tropical cycles and be status has shown that is possible that will have an increase of their most in gun storms in the pacific. ah, so the ingredients of a and of course how exactly they will properly do the likelihood of this type over their company. again in the future, we may still be studied, but we do know that the ingredients comedies could be getting worse to. that was christina, cram for reducing 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 chiefs side and corruption concerns. the officials in charge of enlisting soldiers have been accused of accepting cash bribes 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 could be trusted. well, just how much is corruption affecting the military capabilities of ukraine and put that question to money in the middle on a researcher at the worst that his department of kings college in london is there have been reports earlier from the brain ministry of defense. and by early i mean in 2016, 2017. acknowledging the problem of corruption. however, it has never been discussed publicly outside the train. 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 it exists and what we're seeing now. and we have seen that before was the defense ministers at that. and 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 printing forces. and i fear that these news will, of course, not come to, to do the publicity to the, to the international media, or will be try to, to be concealed as far as possible in order to, for russia 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 french scarlet missiles. however,

they have agreed to 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, 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 hard targets, so they are essentially like storm shadow. however, germany has more missiles available. so that, that, that keeps your 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 detect sam. and also the low trajectory would also mean that um, 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. let's get a check now some of the other stories making news around the world. this our on hundreds of qu, supporters has rallied at a french military base and is here. the demonstration took place a day after leaders from the west african regional blog known as eco was said, they'd create a stand by force that could be deployed to restore new shares, elected president to power the united nations says it's removed more than 1000000
