really struggling as many folks think the whole island is close, but they say it's not white sen brian schatz says visiting maui will help speed the recovery. now to another big story, a historic first, a mug shot of a former american president. donald trump pose for the picture yesterday when he surrendered at the fulton county jail in atlanta for charges that he illegally schemed to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in georgia. trump then flew in to atlanta on his private jet before he was pictured. he was then escorted by motorcade to the jail where the mug shot was taken. trump spent about 30 iinutes there for the booking process before he was released on $2n0,000. bond shortly after the former president went on twitter. what's now known as ax for the first time in 2 years where he posted his mugshot with the caption election interference never surrender. there was also a link to a fundraising website. meanwhile, trump remains the leading candidate for the 2024 republican primary contest and former president trump's mug shot is now being celebrated by both supporters and opp

you're looking at video taken by senator brian schatz yesterday. he said it's still smoldering and was, quote, just about the only thing left other than the lighthouse, the banyan tree. i famous tourist site in line. it's huge. it's beautiful. it was imported from india planted in front of the cities, court house and harbor in 18, 73. it sprawls along the town's front street. it is the size of an entire city block. meantime, the a deadly fire responsible for the loss of 67 lives is 80% contained right now. more than 1000 structures have been destroyed. president biden has declared a major disaster on the island promising not to streamline help any requests for help. today, the state's air national guard flew in disaster relief, equipment and workers. contra costa county's assistant fire chief jeff peter is there. he flew out of oakland today. he is a member of the fema support team. his deployment is part of a commitment to help out in times of crisis. the devastation has people all over the place to looking for ways to help. tonight, kron four's d

tonight, hawaii senator brian schatz posted this video to social media of the famous banyan tree. it's an iconic landmark of the town first planted in 1873 by the banyan tree holds historic and cultural significance to the hawaiian people, and it now stands more than 60ft tall. and experts say it is one of the largest banyan trees in the united states. people taking to social media, posting their own memories of the banyan tree visitors and residents sharing their messages of hope and stories from their time on the island of maui. well, we are teaming up with our sister station in los angeles to send a crew to hawaii. they're going to bring you the latest updates on the destruction and recovery efforts. we will be live in maui beginning tomorrow on the 5:00 news. and make sure to head to our website at ktvu. com for the very latest updates from officials in maui. new tonight, the president of the san francisco board of supervisors says the city will likely file for a rehearing after the california public utilities commission voted to expand driverless taxi service in the city toda

i just want to come to that tweet we read from senator brian schatz urging people to come to south mauiree with this message? i couldn't agree more. this is such a tough time. the people are grieving right now, we are all grieving. there isn't anybody in the state that hasn't been affected by this. it doesn't know somebody who's lost a loved one or who lost their home. and we're going to give them their space to grieve and they should take all the time they need. but while they grieve, we have a responsibility to maintain the economic engine that powers maui. 70% of alljobs on the island of maui are directly or indirectly related to tourism. so there was, as you know, a lot of frustration among locals, especially in the immediate aftermath of these wildfires, while some wildfires were still burning, about tourists coming to maui. i want to play you a clip of what one local told the bbc. let's listen. the same waters that our people just died in three days ago are the same waters the very next day these visitors, tourists were swimming in. and that says a lot about where their heart and

. —— brian schatz. let's take a look at what else is being done to help the situation in hawaii. administrator deanne criswell will travel to the state to meet with officials. earlier, fema announced that federal disaster assistance has been made available to supplement local recovery efforts. california is sending search and rescue teams to help recovery efforts — that's according to the state's governor, gavin newsom. and california officials do have a lot of experience in dealing with such blazes, including the 2018 camp fire that killed 85 people. and the main airport in maui has turned into an unofficial emergency shelter. an estimated 11,000 people are being flown out to other hawaiian islands or the us mainland. as you can see, that has led to scenes like this. the crowds have been calm but anxious as people try to fly to safer places. this is all happening as the extent of the devastation becomes clearer as our north america correspondent nomia iqbal reports. much of the hawaiian island of maui is now scorched earth. a pilot can hardly believe what he's seeing. oh, my gos

at one point, senator from hawaii brian schatz had to go to president biden to ask if he wanted someater. you can see him in the black shirt kind of guide the president away from the podium. he moved slowly. did he want water? stuart: he looked frail to the. >> he always looks frail. this is frail in hawaii versus frail in pittsburgh, frail at the beach, frail at the white house. it underscores to your point what are times we are in. i've been catching up on the fdr documentary on the history channel, somebody who had every excuse in the world, crippling condition, in a wheelchair for so much of his adult life, yet he is focused, the focus on his team is making sure he is strong in public, we are going through a war. this administration doesn't seem to get it. stuart: at a difficult thing to talk about. something happen to our president, we have president harris and that would be a significant problem. >> i don't think either party, they don't want president harris, do the democrats? democrats know that she was a vessel by which to get the election and everybody will admit that on th

hawaii senator brian schatz wrote, furloughs and layoffs starting because people think the whole island it. steve patterson joins us this morning. what is the latest today? >> reporter: well, let's start with the list, that is the big news going for more than a thousand people missing for weeks to just 388. and i say just, that number is still horrific and it still speaks to the tragic situation here in maui, that 17 days later, 400 people still missing. let's talk about the list. it now has a list of names that anybody can see, which is, of course, will be heart breaking for some families but helps with accountability, helps with paring that list down even further. we're hearing cell phone technology is being used to track people down. the reason why the list is cooked down to a manageable fashion is because the lists came from all these different separate agencies, they were incomplete, they were missing last names, they were missing ages, they were missing genders. as the fbi has now compiled this list, they're able to cook all that down into something that is far more manageable for
