areas, as i mentioned earlier, is used primarily for so long as and that's the reason why many of them are found. almost all of them are phone on the coastline. the public is trying to see higher ground in the event that the, sorry to sound it, in fact. and the website that hawaii emergency management agency, the following guideline is provided. if you are in a low lying area or the coastline evacuate to high grounds, that'd be sort of disarming that night. were afraid that people would have gone multiple. and if that was the case, then they would have gone into the fire. let's get more on this from dw is kasha, more reporting from our country here, where they're at this press conference. can you tell us more about what you've heard? yes, there were a lot of questions regarding the why they didn't activate the sirens and the oscar, and also about how they were going to re gain the trust of the people. the

emergency chief said that we'll have send more people directly into the fire. that is upcountry now, the governor gave us a different response. he said they are working on large changes and better practices. and one of them will be they are going to bury the power lines, oppose the wrong right now, up in deer. and that is a danger, and they also try to expand, they've got this, that's why capacity across the states. you said that there on friday and we'll get more information about major changes in the practice. is that to prevent this kind of disasters? now officials also mentioned there that they've started to identify bodies of the deceased. do we know how far along those efforts are the numbers are still pretty low and that's something that we were. 7 worrying about because if people on the ground that we've been talking about expect the number of deceased to be way higher,

the police officer explained that they want to be very respectful for the family as they have gathered to teams. for experts also from california that are helping with dna of integration, and they want to notify the families 1st. so they want to be respectful. and that's going to take a lot of time. yeah. and what about the survivors? what is the situation like there for people on my way? now? are they getting the help that they need? they're getting a lot of help from community, even from the same people who use their houses. i've seen it myself, their volunteering and helping other people. there is still in big news of supply, but of course of housing that has, that started to happen now the government and also planned to move the people from shoulders into over a 1000 room in hotels and in the area. also the height of the house and being affected and also into an air b and b as that is starting to happen yesterday to day it was out one of those uh shelters and, and, and they, uh, i saw myself,

the red cross phone and people the time so you and we found the room for you in this hotel, however, um it's only for us 30 days. we don't know how long, how, how long are they to the stay and the rick ross doesn't know that even there are no said they're working also on new ideas on how to rebuild for people for the future . well, thank you so much for your reporting throughout the week. that is country my in my we thank you. we can turn now to some other stories making world news headlines at this hour. you and chief antonio guitars just calling for a multinational force to be sent to haiti to deal with armed gangs who overpowered the police. eighty's prime minister also supports outside intervention. the many residents have left the capital foresaw products which is now largely under the control of gains by ones has broken out and pocket sons of punjab province

kilometers. and despite the supply of weapons from the west, they're only making limited progress with limited power and its forces stretched thin. but even small advances could turn out to be technically significant. this week ukrainian troops on the south eastern front claim to have re take in the small village of rush china, located within a 150 kilometers of the ports of russia occupied mary, you pull and buddy ends. and if you cry and were to take those cities, the land bridge that connects crimea to russia through occupied you cried would be broken. but getting through heavily fortified, russian lines won't be easy. they'll need to cross open fields which are extensively mind, where they also run the risk of attacks from the s and russian troops behind the tree line. and if they make it that fall next,

they'll face and elaborate. mays of trenches and metal and concrete empty tank defenses, known as dragon's teeth. still small advances by either side will reduce the capabilities of the other russia. i recently intensified separation in the northeast, drawing ukrainian forces away from most strategic areas in the southeast. now ukraine is making gains on that front forcing. moscow is military to redeploy, but the to and fro cannot continue in its current form for long as autumn and month season fos. the purchase. when oil tanks will be stopped in the tracts until spring we're drawing now by our correspondent materials for the in keys, but he has got to see what again we heard in that report concern over mug season approaching once again. if there is no major breakthrough in the counter offensive by this autumn, what will that mean for ukraine?

well, the question is, what will happen until the match season starts? because it's still some time ahead and these games that ukraine is making. now they of course, uh, reflect on the, on the future development of the situation. so it's still possible that things will change. but when that point arrives, where it would be difficult to advance with a tongue span, of course uh, both sides will have to $45.00 and the positions that they all and uh we'll have to prepare for the next uh, uh, possible offensive for your grade. most likely, next spring, there's also a winter season. well, offensive, all possible. but last winter ukraine has not made use of them. partly because the technology, the wisdom technology was not there. um, but the things were pretty much uh, slow down and preparations would be made for the next move that tell us more about western weapons arriving in ukraine. what impact have they been having on the

battlefield to the idea that ukraine had when they started this counter offensive was that these western times would allow them to break so quickly and straight on to these russian positions that has proven wrong. they have lost in the 1st week or so, or 2 weeks of the counter offensive. they have lost some equipment. and they found out that due to the heavy mining uh they would not be able to have this very bold advance that they were hoping for. this is why they have changed their tactics. however, these weston weapons we talking about times, but we also talking about and that's very important at this stage. a artillery and other um, uh, uh, drones, etc. uh that, uh, able to strike behind the lines because of what the tech tactic is now, is that they are going to weaken the russian supply lines i trying to weaken the russian supply lines and the russian to attend the re positions the trying to hit

the russian artillery positions as much as possible in order to complicate the rushes supply and uh, rushes positions attempt to, to, to make it more difficult for us to, to hold these positions there rather than confronting them head on. so these systems now make a big difference. the ukraine says, including the cluster, munitions that a, they are saying we have in the, you know, being able to verify this, that it's more much more in, in effective, in hitting the russian trenches with these customizations that the u. s. have provided. well, thank you. so much for joining us as always i just need these correspond with us whether or not in of the let's get some sports news now. and england have booked to their place in the football women's world cup final with a 31 victory over hosts, australia. and that is
