12:01 pm
residents of the southern firestorm. the claim. dozens of lives of the island of maui. survivors are taking stock of the devastation following the worst us wildfire in a century and england line. this is advanced into the semi finals of the women football world, the american evans dean. it's good to have you with us. 6 people have died and doesn't have to be rescued when a boat carrying migrants from france to the united kingdom capsized is the latest tragedy to unfold and the english channel as dozens of small migrant bows, trying to cross the dangerous waterway. the u. k. is conservative government has introduced controversial policies aimed at cutting the number of people attempting
12:02 pm
to make the crossing the rescue. cruise from england and france, which together to bring survivors a show more than 20 would take him here to the u. k. port of dover. when medical teams helped a school those who could walk onto land, but cyril were in a critical condition. for angel stars, he's also series dozens of people back to the city of calais. some were taken strength to hospital fillings, they were in trouble. there's always sea sickness and the boats are simply overloaded. they over though them so they can't move. the last boat we came to was just too full about the we did for some of the smaller boat the migrants were traveling on was one of hundreds crossing the dangerous streets of water. in recent days, since the april was all g is civic. jim, if we more than 6 victims today,
12:03 pm
it is the fault of traffic or is and criminals with different sent children and adults to the depths on these dangerous maritime routes. so those was thank you so most in france has stepped up patrol since the british government agreed to buy hundreds of millions of yours in an attempt to reduce the number of asylum sieges. people arriving from across the channel were sick to be housed on this barge. those plans sold when legion is bacteria were detected on board forcing or far tease to evacuate the v. so some doubts the strength of j would've worked. in any case, the ultimate, the people are not going to be this incentivized for making your slow bad crossing because they're likely to be placing the bulge personnel smoke. boat is terrifying . i expect to be dangerous if you're prepared to do that in a but it's not going to display the number of migrant channel crossings. so this
12:04 pm
year stands at more than 16000, but the 1100 people arriving in the past week a long time. brooks is a professor of law and government during law school, and i asked him why the number of channel crossings has been rising. so i think that you typically see a lot more crossings happening during the summer and, and, and it's of the, the order. then you do the beginning of the years. this is kind of pattern of, of more happening now in august. and that's the end of september. so then you receive in past years, government efforts to try to stem the tide or slow things down has clearly not worked well. you say they haven't worked. what should french and british authorities been be doing differently in response to the increase of these dangerous crossings as well?
12:05 pm
i think there's a few things that should happen. i think, you know, one thing is noted in the room for the play, riley where people pointing the finger at the criminal games more needs to be done about that. the dk government, as has passed recently passed a new law that, that aims to effectively punish those who make the crossings, but not those who are behind the crossings, the gangs who coordinates and organize them. i think there needs to be a lot more that is done about that. but the other for the major factor is the government talks a lot about trying to turn people are making these journeys, but it doesn't really talk a lot about the causes behind what is going on in, in part, we've seen this despite this, think this, this growth is small votes, as all happened after the u. k. left it's returns policy with the you. so it means that since for the last few years, people coming over can no longer be returned or at least not return very easily.
12:06 pm
adopting france or elsewhere on the confidence where is that was possible before and i think this is a change in the law that has been exploited by some of those gangs. and i think that's something that needs to be addressed originally as well. that was tom brooks, the professor of law and government at during law school in the united kingdom as well. the death toll from wild fires that swept through the hawaiian islands of valley over the past week has risen to 93. is now the deadly as wildfire disaster in the united states for more than a century. it's fear that the number of deaths will arise further as sniffer. dogs search burnt out homes 1st, human remains. thousands of people have been left homeless by the fires. donations are arriving from across hawaii and from the us mainland. people have been dropping off food, water and clothing at emergency shelters. for the fires mostly contains attention is now shifting to the response. hawaii,
12:07 pm
the attorney general has opened an investigation into how authorities handle the disaster. resident say they receive no warning, many are still trying to come to terms with what happened. really right now, the official never. i think in my, in my life what i have imagined that we would have something like this catastrophe of an equal assessor. i would like to find a piano family, coloma family and really i guess family suits is 3 more, 3 days. and now that everybody's looking for them only been here for like 4 or 5 years. so i somewhere between and like a lot of the people i lived with, didn't think it would happen. i've seen a lot of wildfires growing up in northern california. i was just like and the smoke
12:08 pm
turned black. i was like, when you got here, journal is not going. nathaniel is in hawaii and has been following the story for us. i asked him to tell us more about how people are coping in the aftermath of this devastating fire or people are still in shock here. it really is been a soul crushing experience so many people have not only had family there, but i have lived there and i was talking to a friend this afternoon through the restaurant he worked in was gone. then he also was a little bit further in the rental unit that he had stayed in for years was also gone to it's and just we're trying to make sense of what is exactly happened and trying to understand the what is the possible future here is the worst over our, the wildfire is now fully under control. yes, for the most part and the what's happened is that the storm that led to so many of these high wins that really, you know, it's just exacerbated the problem here,
12:09 pm
caused the inferno, you know, has passed. and so this was the thing that was the unexpected part. it was that that storm was so far away that we didn't think that we were going to experience any damage. we'd had a storm just recently. that was even closer, but there was no damage. but we're finding out that so many reports have been made already that hawaii really was in a huge danger for wild fires. but sadly, those reports weren't heated. so yeah, there's also been some talk about the governments in adequate response to this disaster. what have you been hearing from people about that? so unfortunately, hawaii was caught flat footed the lieutenant governor who is in charge at the time because the governor was out of the states and said why he would so very unprepared for this the to lead officials that would have led the lead evacuation were also off island at the time, so it was
12:10 pm
a real absence of leadership and to point that they were no sirens. why he has a very well developed early warning system when it comes to he has tourette's from soon armies or other storms, the sirens that most people would have listened to and let the evacuation weren't sound as in behind. that was journalist knock on nathaniel reporting for us from hawaii. thank you so much. thank you. all right, let's turn our attention now to some of the other stories making news this our plugs in most lives has kills at least 4 people in northern china that states media sent to houses were swept away in a village after flash floods triggered to lance lives 16 people, our report is missing. china has faced floods and an unprecedented rain fall and reasons, weeks, and have loved. does any sense? would be 18 in the us state of pennsylvania for people are dead and at least one is missing following a house explosion. another person is in critical condition. authorities said 3
