8:04 am
i've seen, i've talked to a lot of people who are living in other cities here in around the island because they couldn't return home. also the most pressing 8th is the what's going to happen with their, with their houses that they lost in the, in this zone 0 people i've been, that they've been making calls to get to cover the last covered by insurance. but what starts and to happen now is that the people are, well, people report that they have have been receiving calls from people at dep, say they are realtors and try to purchase their land. they are very vulnerable right now, and they might be prone to sell. in fact, there are many people who are just leaving, flying out to the main line or returning to their countries or forwards in like argentina. because they've lost everything or they, you know, on their side to see that there are stations, the governor wants to prevent this happening. but it's on clear how he's going to prevent anyone outside of his day to buy these,
8:05 am
these properties that people have lost. because the, for the last allow for it. yeah. so still a dire situation and vulnerable people worried about exploitation there as people's are looking for answers about how we got to this point. what started this blaze. there's also been criticism of hawaii is the biggest power company, hawaiian electric. they're under fire for not actually shutting off the power when there were a high wind warnings, even as power lines started to go down. have there been any further developments there? i know they haven't said anything yet. the only thing they said is this uh, the hallway and electricity itself will launch an investigation. and there will be another one around from the state for more than 400 miles wind down. and we don't know, it was still if that was the cause of the, of the fires. but people logos feel that these transmission lines that go up into your support, you by boat should be beverage and other issues have been cut off. and there's also
8:06 am
been calls from locals tele tourists that they should stay away from now. with that now is not the time to be visiting. are those calls being heated? well, uh i've been talking to 2 locals who lived in the high, not all of the house. we have lost their houses and they are say, and you know, locals to stay away from the west coast, you know, from the area that was destroyed. so that resources can go to them and they don't want people looking around, you know, where, where they are, they're still on the dead bodies and devastation is their homes. so they are a little resentful. but actually, you know, the part of the, of the, of the island people do need to reason in the, in this house. and because otherwise they're going to lose all their income. that's what it is. so it is also a stress, it's the west coast of my way that is close behind. what thank you so much for reporting. that's due to these countries while you're in my way. thank you. we can

8:12 am
carmona was the her link for the spaniards with her powerful left foot and dw sports correspondent, oliver moody. witness spain's victory in new zealand yesterday. he joins us now for a look back over the tournament so far. ali yesterday do zealand host at their final match of the competition. can you give us a sense of what the atmosphere has been like at the tournament over the past few weeks? yeah, i'll be honest. i wasn't sure what to expect from new zealand to this tournament. this is not known as a football country. there are several schools when he's even has teams that are successful. internationally. football frankly is no one of them. so the question was always, will the locals go for it? and the onset was whole heartedly. yes. we could see, even before the tournament starts here, that the training sessions, the teams held, the open to the public. hundreds of people were coming down to get their autographs and get the cell fees at people just want it to be involved and not just with the
8:13 am
big teams like the usa, like you might expect, but also for fos. long teams like know why or less than 9 seems like the philippines. there was always a big crowd. and that brings me then to the opening game. and it's really hard for me to oversight just how important not opening game was for this tournament. over 40000 funds packed into eden park here in oakland, the biggest crowd we'd have a scene for a football match in this country, men's or women's football. a huge amount of noise out the ground there. and when, how to wilkinson opened the scoring for new zealand. when the final whistle went to confirm the country's 1st eval wells comp victory. you could feel that the atmosphere, it was electric. and that really set list told him an up for success because they already had success. and the history had already the night. so there's a light in the local crowds, but team new zealand itself did a crash out in the group stage to that impact crowds or interest in the tournament
8:14 am
. or out of it, i was concerned about that. you do sometimes see the slicing effects when highs nations go out. but in fact, we've seen the biggest crowds at this woke up in new zealand. uh, off the new zealand went out of the tournament. sorry for the last 3. no count games at eden park, which is the biggest stadium in new zealand hosting games. we've had a capacity crowd of just either 43000. so interested in the tournament is on the ground. and i can say as well, when i've been out working, filming, or whatever, or the taxi drive is a drop me off at the stadium. and what have you at people just want to talk about the tournament. they come up to you, they want to tell you about the games that they've been to how and so the time they are. and i really think this also goes back to that opening, getting a success that i mentioned, you know, just having not to lot jump into. i think the positive impact says that historic moment was just more significant to people here than the negative impacts of new zealand going out. however, disappointing thing that may have been,
8:15 am
