identity hidden. >> did you hear directly from banksy? >> no. this is one of the, i suppose, great mysteries. i've never met him. i've never spoken to him. >> but you're hosting the exhibition. >> but we are hofting the exhibition. >> reporter: putting it together required extensive planning and a cover story. gar garecht james was telling people they'd be refurbishing the windows. >> had to keep it secret from colleagues, family, and friends. >> you couldn't tell your family? >> nope. no. we just don't want to risk it getting out. >> did you have to sign a nondisclosure agreement? >> yep. yep. >> reporter: the idea, james says, was for this show to just appear unannounced, like banksy's work. cut & run, 25 years card labour, features the stencils for many of his best-known images and work from as far back as the late '90s. banksy recreates his desk and

his childhood bedroom. ♪ where he explains how this seen from the cult movie "jaws." inspired him. >> sick vandalism. that is a deliberate mutilation of a public service message. >> reporter: it showed me everything i kneed to know about graffiti, he writes. it should be audacious and funny. >> it seems so much of this exhibition is the captions. >> yeah. you really maybe come away with a feeling of having an insight or maybe even trying to get to know banksy a bit because that voice is there. >> reporter: banksy's political voice has always been there in his art. in ukraine last year, ruins were the canvas for his commentary on a conflict he paints as david versus goliath. banksy often champions the underdog, be it migrans or palestinians in the west bank, where in the shadow of israel's separation barrier, he created the walled-off hotel. >> this was banksy's idea.

he painted these two angels trying to take the wall apart. >> this is banksy here? >> yeah, this is banksy. this is original banksy. >> reporter: his art is coveted but, of course, graffiti is not exactly legal. videos posted to his instagram reveal his guerrilla-style tactics to avoid detection. >> it was more about avoiding problems with the police. >> it was all about avoiding problems with the police and nothing to do with it being a promotional tour. quite quickly, it became the best promotional tour. >> reporter: steve laz reed he's was an early associate of banksy's in the working class town of bristol. >> what kind of guy is he? >> difficult. >> in what way? >> just in that way that sometimes people are ingenious what they're doing. there's no taking away from the fact that the guy's -- he's a

legend. he was making images and messages that everyone could understand, and i think that's what was the game-changer. like somebody is making art that you didn't feel stupid looking at. >> he's sometimes criticized for that too, that it's too simplistic. >> yeah, buzz he's only criticized by -- and i'm going to swear, by [ bleep ] in the art world. they've never liked him. they've never liked the movement. all of that without any help from the art world. >> what's interesting, there is now this dance between these two worlds? >> but now the ard will want it. >> reporter: laz reed ease says he has thousands of photos of. he has not publicly revealed the artist's identity, but listen to this story about banksy searching for inspiration. >> he was on my computer, and i looked, and i went, robin, you're looking up child sex dolls on my computer. he's like, yeah, yeah.

i just want to get something we can fill for the helium and put up in the air. >> you know you're saying a name when you told me that story? >> yeah, yeah. that name's out there. >> but you said robin, robert? >> robin, robert. robby. >> reporter: people have been speculating about banksy's identity for decades. among the names tossed around are bristol artist robin gunning ham and robert del naya from the band massive attack, also from bristol. >> mr. del naya is a graffiti artist. i would say arguably way better than banksy. >> and there's a lot of talk that's the same person. >> the story is -- >> these banksy artworks pop up pretty much along the lines of a massive attack tour, in this city and that city, massive attack. >> maybe the artist being at the gig and then done a piece of art. >> it's a tough world to get into, banksy's world.

>> it's not tough. it's impossible. >> i deal in very important artworks by major museum artists from picasso to damien hirst, and there is nowhere near this level of secrecy or gamesmanship almost. >> what do you mean by gamesmanship? >> it's a bit wild west dealing in banksy artworks. >> acras an deep abis one of the biggest collectors and dealers of banksy's work out of his london gallery. >> rather exclusively, banksy has managed to create a new set of rules within the art world, which is if it doesn't have a certificate of authenticity, you should not buy it. and that's astonishing. it opens a quagmire of problems. what happens if the artist doesn't like an early work. >> 0er what happens if the artist doesn't like the person seeking the authenticity? >> yeah.

problem, right? >> the art world is interesting. >> wild west. >> reporter: and it seems banksy's people can play sheriff. the auction house christie's stoppeds responding to emails regarding our interview request. sotheby's pulled out of a scheduled interview at the last minute after telling us they were going to check with banksy's team. >> it's a closed shop. i mean i've been dealing in his work for almost 20 years now, and it's a closed shop to me. >> reporter: it was banksy's 2004 work, napalm, which firsted peaked an dee pa's interest. >> i was so taken by it. the perfect balance of frivolity with serious elements, you know, a message. and then you discover, as you get to know his work more and more, that, you know, you have a little snigger first, a little laugh because it's lighthearted. but then you kind of suck your teeth a little. actually, there's -- there's some weight to it. >> how much is it banksy's message? how much is it his pure skill as

an artist? >> he actually is quite painterly, but he's chose ton execute his work through stencils, much like andy warhol did through screen prints. >> reporter: but there's no precedent in the art world for this. >> and selling for 860,000. >> reporter: shredding a piece seconds after it was sold at auction for $1.4 million. an irreverent middle finger to the establishment is the theme of his work, but the stunt actually added value. the shredded painting resold a fe years later for $25 million. in the glasgow exhibition, banksy shows how he pulled it off. for all that's on display here, there's one essential implement banksy uses which is not. the nondisclosure agreement. >> i still struggle to see the artist's name. i spent years absolutely not seeing the ar tifrt's name for

fear that i would give something way. >> reporter: and those who do know the artist's identity are bound or choose not to expose him. >> iam i going to reveal it? probably not. >> there are institutions, including uk papers, that would pay a lot of him for him to be unmasked. not one person has stepped up to take the bounty. >> how can that be? >> at the risk of overly remant sizing, one has to assume that he's a good person. he knows how to look after the people around him. >> would something change if we knew his identity? >> 'm not

for many people, taking 10,000 steps a day is a secret to a healthy life. but it turns out you may not need that many steps. ian lee explains. >> reporter: improving your health begins one step at a time, wehether it's taking a

stroll in the park or climbing a mountain, and many aim for that magic number. >> 10,000, and i do a lot more than that a day. >> reporter: but now new research suggests taking just 4,000 steps a day will start to lower your risk of dying from any cause. >> up till now, it has not been clear what is the ultimate number of steps when we can see health benefits. >> reporter: european researchers analyzed walking data from more than 220,000 people around the world, finding it benefits all walks of life. and it doesn't stop there. researchers also found just over 2,300 steps a day is enough to benefit your heart and blood vessels. but take the new data in stride. the research showed a 15% decrease in the risk of dying from any cause with an increase of 1,000 steps and a 7% reduction in dying from cardiovascular disease with 500 more daily steps.

coming days. the national guard and 20 cadaver dogs continue the painstaking search for victims in the burned-out ruins. the maui police department revealing just tonight that they have identified four victims. it's calling on family members with missing loved ones to give dna samples. lahaina is the hardest-hit community, but right here in kula, known as upcountry, fires are still burning. there's a lot to get to, and we have team coverage of this ongoing disaster starting with maui's long road to recovery. asas lahaina still smolders, it a race to finish recovery efforts before forecasted rain possibly hampering the search for remains. this historic town closed off. authorities warning about toxic hazardrds. > the fact t that they'y're it difficult for us to try and go back to where we're from, it's just hard and unbelievable. i mean, i still have loved ones that's trapped. >> reporter: today officials were only able to identify four

people using their fingerprints. but we are learning more tonight about victims found by their families, including the tone and takafua family. the four, including a 7-year-old, discovered inside a burned-out car. >> to see dead bodies on the -- dead bodies on the rocks, on the beach, bodies in the cars, there was a kid underneath a car on front street. it looked like his dad was trying to protect him, but they just was burnt. >> reporter: we witnessed the devastation firsthand, traveling to lahaina by boat with volunteers delivering supplies. >> you say there's a school right around there too? >> right behind those boats, that's the school, the elementary school. >> and that was decimated? >> reporter: that elementary school is where mindy cherry is a first grade teacher. >> they're just ash, and then all of the classrooms, all of the windows are blown out. the roofs were just kind of tilted on the ground. fire went through each building,

so there's no windows, no doors. it's just -- and every building's that way. there's nothing left. >> reporter: with more than 1,300 still missing, we heard about fears that many are children. >> i'm just going to be very direct with people always. when the bodies are smaller, we know it's a child. that's one of the toughest parts of this. >> reporter: president biden today speaking about the tragedy for the first time in five days. >> imagine being a mom or dad, wondering where your child is. >> reporter: but in the midst of the ash, anguish, and unknown, there is still a tight-knit community. >> how would you describe the heart of the people from lahaina? >> so strong. yeah, they really care about each other and everyone. it's not just lahaina because now they're leaning on everybody from maui because there is no lahaina. >> ally mattox runs lahaina grill and co-owns hotel lahaina, both burned to the ground. nearly 50 of her 75 employees lost everything.

panic state? >> no, nothing. >> reporter: state officials are investigating what went wrong, but here's what we know. tuesday morning, 6:37 a.m., a three-acre fire breaks out near lahaina intermediate school. two hours later, it's declared 100% contained. but with forecasts calling for wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour, four schools in west maui were closed due to the powerful winds from hurricane dora. 3:30 p.m., hours later, the fully contained fire which may have given residents false hope flares up. all the while, active power lines are down. they were never shut off. alert sirens designed to warn residents of an emergency sat silent. with no evacuation alert, kawena kahula barely survived. >> fear and panic that i have never experienced before in my life. >> reporter: she followed a line of cars, she thought towards safety. >> you unknowingly were heading into the danger zone.

>> willingly, unknowingly, blindly headed into the fire. >> reporter: the problems cascaded. fire crews had no water pressure. a utility official tells cbs news they ran dry when water leaked from fire-damaged pipes. all the things that went wrong compounded by what happened after the flames died down. kahula says no assistance came for two days. officials say relief was delayed because the roads were blocked, but kahula tells me when she evacuated nearly three days later, the roads were cleared and help still had not arrived, norah. >> such incredibly powerful interviews and reporting. jonath vigliotti, thank yo

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." wildfires are still raging right here in maui.

but where i going? i no belong there. >> reporter: mori told us like those neighbors, her husband also tried to avoid evacuations and try and protect their home. but thanks to that granddaughter, she finally convinced him to leave, and now of course the house is destroyed but the family is safe, norah. >> yeah, and people don't know where to go. >> reporter: that's right. >> lilia luciano, thank you so much. the other top story, the fourth criminal indictment of former president donald trump. the georgia grand jury handed up 13 counts against trump, including conspiracy and racketeering for his alleged attempts to overturn the results of that state's 2020 presidential election. cbs's nikole killion reports 18 others are also facing charges. >> reporter: the 98-page indictment was handed up as cameras rolled. it contained 41 felony counts, listing former president trump and 18 other defendants, including members of his inner circle, former white house chief

of staff mark meadows and ex-personal attorney rudy giuliani. district attorney fani willis gave them ten days to surrender. >> the grand jury believes they were part of the illegal effort to overturn the results of georgia's 2020 presidential election. >> reporter: the indictment says the activity began within days of the 2020 election. willis used georgia's racketeering law to accuse trump and his associates of conspiracy. >> some of those acts may seem quite innocent in and of themselves. but they are each steps, according to the prosecutor, to show a pattern of activity that is, in fact, composed ultimately of crimes. >> reporter: the court filing cites 161 separate overt acts ranging from lying to state legislators during a series of hearings at the georgia capitol to creating a false slate of electors and severe harassment of election worker ruby freeman.

in a pair of truth social posts, trump called the indictment a witch hunt, renewing his claims of election fraud in georgia. the indictment also references trump's phone call to georgia's secretary of state, brad raffensperger, which sparked willis' investigation. >> i just want to find 11,780 votes. >> reporter: today raffensperger said the most basic principles of a strong democracy are accountability and respect for the constitution and rule of law. you either have it or you don't. tonight trump's ex-chief of staff, mark meadows, wants his case moved out of fulton county to federal court. his attorneys say the allegations against him are not criminal, and they intend to file a motion to get the case dismissed. norah. >> nikole killion, thank you. there's also some breaking news tonight. north korea is acknowledging for the first time that an american soldier ran across its

meyer says the paper obtained information that a local restaurant owner had a dui and was driving without a license for 14 years. that owner says the information was obtained illegally while meyer says it was provided by a source and confirmed by public records. the paper was also investigating allegations the new police chief, gideon cody, had left his previous job with the kansas city police to avoid a demotion for alleged sexual misconduct. meyer ultimately decided not to publish either story. >> everyone has to be protected against unlawful search and seizure. you have to justify that there's no other way to get something other than to intrude in somebody's house, to seize their property. >> reporter: federal law protects journalists, requiring police to subpoena any materials in most criminal investigations. but marion police defended the raid, saying the law does not apply when journalists, quote, themselves are suspects in the offense that is the subject of the search.
